Ms. Leia handed out the application form to the three of us and gave us a brief overview.

The entrance exam will be held in about three weeks, on February 1st. We're thinking of Allen as the chief examiner. I'll be assisted by Leah and Rose. ...... What do you think?　Would you be willing to do that?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

"Well, let's see. ....... Why am I the chief examiner for ......?

"Well, it's what we call 'tradition'. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. In the event that you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

"I see. ......

　It's hard to argue with tradition when it's so clearly stated.

(But aside from Idras, that Shidou is an examiner? ......)

　This year, the students who will take the entrance exam for the Ice King Academy will have a very difficult time.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. --What do you think, Allen? Would you be willing to take the job?

　He looked at me and asked me to answer him right now.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

　When I was feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, Leia, ...... what's this?

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

"It's .......

"This is ......!

　There was a picture of me in a jet-black robe with a sword at the ready.

　And next to it, there was a strong sentence that read, "Students who take the exam with a single strike against the evil swordsman Allen Rhodle will pass the exam on the spot! And next to the picture, there was a strong sentence: "The student who makes a dagger against the evil swordsman Allen-Roddle will pass the exam on the spot!

Ha, ha, ha. ....... I'm not sure what to make of that.　The expression may be a bit provocative, but ....... I'm sure you'll agree with me.

　The teacher scratched his head as he looked left and right.

He scratched his head as he looked from one side to the other, "Oh, I also found this on this page. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. --I think that's a little too 'incendiary'. ......?

I'm not sure what to make of that.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

(But the "evil swordsman" and the "devil's hand" ......)

　What a terrible thing to be written.

There's something fishy about this story. ....... You can't help but feel that there's some sort of underworld to it.

It's no secret that some of the best students are used as examiners by the Five Schools. ....... I'm sure it's unheard of for an exam to put so much emphasis on a single student, isn't it?

　The two of them gave each other a sharp look.

"Huh, okay. ....... I'll tell you all about it. ......

　The teacher's shoulders slumped as if he had given up, and he began to speak slowly.

I'm embarrassed to say that our current financial situation is very difficult. ....... The reason for this, as you all know, is that we rebuilt the entire main school building in September of last year. Although we have received a large amount of subsidy from the government, ....... Even so, a large portion of the reserve fund has to be cut back and a large deficit is expected for the current fiscal year. ......

So, is that so? ......

　Reconstruction of the main school building .
　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their lives.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　However, the price for this was the complete collapse of the main school building.

The current international situation is very unstable. The current international situation is very unstable, and we don't know if Senbi Academy will be a target again next year. ....... As a measure of self-defense, we want to secure talented people. We want to attract a large number of examinees and use the examination fees to restore our financial health. In order to achieve these two goals, we, the faculty members of Senmaigakuin, had meetings every day and night. And that's where you come in, Allen.

"Well, ......, what does that mean?

　I don't know why my name came up there at all.

It's no exaggeration to say that the name "Allen-Rhoddle" now resonates throughout the empire. We have taken advantage of his fame ...... to secure the best students and a large amount of examination fees!

　The teacher said, and sang out his absurd plan in a high-pitched voice.

(My name isn't that famous, and I'm definitely not going to get that kind of publicity. ......)

　(My name isn't that famous, and I'm sure I wouldn't get that kind of publicity... ) While he was smiling bitterly, the professor continued to speak.

After settling on a basic strategy, we immediately went into action. We traveled to the city of Orest and gathered up your good stories and reputation. But that's when we ran into a big problem: .......

Big problem ......?

Somehow, someway, Allen's reputation had taken a surprising turn for the worse (・・・・)....... He has repeatedly defeated the Kuro Organization, protected the Tenshi-sama from demon attacks, and even developed the first ever "curse cure" in human history. I'm sure you've done heroic things to save the empire so far. ....... It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you can do to help. In the end, they even said, "Aren't you the Thirteenth Knight of the Oracle? ......

I'm not sure what to make of that.

　I knew that my reputation was incredibly bad, but .......
　The last rumor is new to me.



"When we were forced to make a major change in policy, we thought, 'Well, then! We decided to turn the tables. We've decided to make you the villain. However, this is a painstaking effort on our part. ....... There isn't a single teacher at Senbei Academy who truly thinks you're evil!

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

"Oh, I see. ......

　I understood her point of view.

(But this is getting tricky again. ......)

　(But this has become troublesome again. ) My reputation, which is not even good, will get worse if I let that kind of rhetoric go around.

　And so, as I let out a small sigh.

I've been laying out all kinds of excuses, but ....... I'm sure you're not the only one.

"Gosh ....... That's right,.......

　I'm sure you're not the only one.

But you know what?　The Allen effect was just as we had hoped!　Look at this one!

　She said, pulling a sheet of paper out of a drawer.

"...... What's this?

"This is the number of students who have taken the entrance exam at Senbi Academy over the past ten years. And here's what's noteworthy - take a good look at the number of students taking the exam this year!

This is a tremendous number. ......

　It's an astonishing number, more than three times that of previous years.

(I don't think this is my effect at all. ......)

　It seems that the teachers have achieved their goal.

　When the conversation calmed down a bit, I asked them a question.

"What happens if I don't take on the role of proctor?

"...... will be accused of fraud and our school will be 'dead'.

"...... I see.

　It seems that he was still acting without thinking.

"Huh. ....... I'll take care of it.

　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything that might be of interest to you.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

"Really?　Are you really going to do this?

Yes. But please don't do something like this again, okay?　At least consult with me once before...

Yes!　All right, all right, ......!

　The teacher clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.

(Huh, you're not listening to me at all ......)

　I'm sure he'll do something like that again someday.

"Hey, Allen, ....... I think I told you once before, you should be a little harder on people.　...... Maybe that won't change.

"Not at all. That kindness is a blessing, but it's also a curse. I don't think you can change that. ......

　This is a great way to make sure that you are getting the best out of your business.
