One of the instructors, a woman in a white coat, began to write a description of the final exam on the blackboard.

　You will be able to get a good deal more out of it.

　Sometimes it is a woman, a fiefdom, a life, and many other things.

　This was also the case during the war against the demon race. I remember that the nobles were often in a dispute with each other.

Whenever such nobles had a dispute, the custom called 'dueling' was brought up every time they had a dispute.

The final exam is a practical test that mimics a duel. Let me just tell you at the outset that the outcome of this duel will have a significant bearing on whether you pass or fail.

　A duel is about to begin, but the hall was quieter than I had expected.

　I see.
Apparently, the content of this final exam does not change much every year.

　The students seemed to be taking in the words of the examiner.

''I'm going to explain three rules to you now,''

　And the three rules presented were easy to understand.

　One. The game must be played one-on-one.
　Two. The winner of the game must be the one who destroyed the defensive magic applied by the teacher.

From now on, we will be applying defensive magic to the candidates. Defensive magic will be able to withstand several shots of low-powered magic, but it can be destroyed in one hit if you are hit by a high-powered magic, so please be careful.

　The examiner applies defensive magic to his own body as he explains.

　Hmm.
　Well, in the sense that the content of the test is a model of a duel, it's a fair point.

　The problem is that the defensive magic the instructor uses is insignificant, but in a fight between students, this is probably enough.

Finally, let me explain the third rule. Your opponents will be selected based on the results of the previous exam. Your opponent's examination numbers are written on a piece of paper that will be posted from now on, so please make sure you check them out first.

　Let's see. My opponent's examination number is '86'?
　I've seen this number somewhere, but I don't remember who it was exactly.

　I was too uninterested in the other candidates to check them out.

Again. Again, may I sit next to you?　Abel-kun.

　Just as I was thinking about finding an opponent, I was approached by a familiar woman.

　Oh, right.
So that's how it is.

　The girl with Akane hair, Eliza, had the exam number '86' waved on the plate on her chest.

'Hey. Look at that. That!

It's like a fight between a rumored inferior eye and a red-haired woman!



　I see.
　Apparently, our fight is the most important card in this exam.
　
　The examiner said that he chose 'opponents close in strength' for this duel.
　Probably, in the previous exam, me and Eliza passed the exam in the provisional first and second positions.

Let's dance together. I'm going to find out what you're capable of.

　Eliza, having uttered a spare line, extends her hand towards me.

　Good grief.
　I just wanted to graduate from the school without attracting anyone's attention, inconspicuous and at peace.

　After all, it seems that life is not easy to let people do things the way you want them to.
