Having successfully defeated the junior students of the Grand Academy of Swordsmanship, I greeted them cheerfully, trying not to make them feel uneasy.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Allen Rhodle, the chief examiner for the entrance exam. And here are my assistants, Leah Vesteria and Rose Valencia.

　After a brief introduction, the two bowed lightly.

　Realizing that the test was about to begin, the students immediately stopped talking and stared at them with serious expressions.

(The gaze of 3,000 people is indeed "coming". ......)

　Under the pressure and tension, I continued to explain calmly.

In the event that you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. The general examination consists of three parts: physical ability, swordsmanship, and an interview. The format will be exactly the same as in previous years, and a brief explanation of each will be given before the test begins.

　After a pause, he went on to talk about the special exam that would be held only this year.

"And this special exam will be a one-on-one mock battle between me and the students. Any student who manages to land a single blow on me will pass immediately, while those who unfortunately lose will have today's test terminated on the spot.

　When I said that.

""......"

　There was a great shock among the students.

"Just because you didn't make it through the special exam doesn't necessarily mean you won't pass. If you have not passed the special exam, it does not necessarily mean that you have not passed.

　I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with that.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. Naturally, I'll be moderately lax, and I'll never use lethal force. Of course, you'll have to be prepared for some minor injuries. ....... I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with that.

　I made a shallow cut on my left hand and immediately healed the wound with the darkness.

　The next moment.

"So, there it is!　That's the Darkness that defeated Idra Luxmalia at the Ken-Oh Festival: ......!

That's the darkness that defeated Idra-Lux Maria at the Sword King Festival. It was worth it to come here today. ......!

...... Amazing, that's the healing power of darkness. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money. I'm not sure what to make of it.

In addition, it is said that the jet-black robe will automatically defend against almost all attacks?

In addition to that, once you start attacking, the power of the attack is so great that it can destroy the Thousand Blade Academy.

It looks really cool and it performs perfectly. ....... I'm so jealous. ......

　The students gave me a glittering look.

　The demonstration of the restorative effects of darkness seemed to have relieved some of their anxiety.

　In the event that you've got a lot of time, you may want to take a look at the following article.

(Phew, thank goodness ......)

　It seems that there was no flaw in my explanation.

　I let out a secret sigh of relief and turned my attention to the clock tower.

(......) All right, all right, just in time.

　There were some unexpected problems along the way, but so far there was no disruption to the time schedule.
　So far, everything is going well, I guess you could say.

Students wishing to take the general exam should follow the directions of Leah and Rose. Those who wish to take the special exam, please remain here.

　I clapped my hands, and a large crowd of students gathered around Leah and Rose.

"Alright, Allen. We're going to the general exam room.

We'll take care of this one.

We'll take care of it.

　With that, they began to move away, taking most of the students with them.

(...... That's a lot of people left, though.)

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

(But I didn't think there'd be more than three hundred of them. ......)

　The teacher said, "Not many daredevils would want to fight Allen. My estimate is that only about ten people will be left. The rest of the students are probably just mehers who want to catch a glimpse of Allen-Rhoddle in the flesh," she said. .......

　Looking at the current situation, her prediction is way off.

(In the meantime, my teacher told me that as long as I don't use the Zeon, I don't care how violent I get. ......)

　I'm not going to be that reckless.

　As a result of secretly discussing it with Mr. Eighteen, we settled on the conclusion that it would be just right to fight by blocking the 'techniques' of the likes of Hiie and Yatagarasu.

"Well then, we will now begin the special exam. Those of you who are ready, please tell me your name and examination number.

　As soon as I said that, a swordsman came forward.

"Exam number 2521, Valin-Seamgard!　Nice to meet you!

"Nice to meet you too!

　And so the special examination began for me and the other students.
