The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Episode 4 Entrance Exam Plan to Destroy (3)

“What? Did you just say that to me, Eugene?”

Ruina’s brow furrowed.

As the commotion grew, the eyes of the people around us began to focus on this direction.

In addition, the man who appeared to be the supervisor was also glancing at me with a nervous expression.

Rui, I wonder if she was conscious of those gazes, she seemed to swallow the words she wanted to say.

“… I hate to think of my favor as meddling…. If that’s the case, then I won’t interfere anymore. I’ll leave it where you want to see it.”

Then it turns around and walks away like a whistle.

Looking at her back, Rossi shook her head.

“That’s the real truth, that.”

“I agree.”

“Was it too remote?”

I agree with that too.

“No. Good job.”

Of course, I am a sociable person, so I distinguish between what to say and what not to say.

“hehehehe. Thank god… ! To be honest, I was a little hesitant. Because the teacher in Seolle’s class told her to fix her character of always interfering with others.”

“I see.”

One thing that seems clear is that the teacher must have been very worried.

First of all, this was a society where status existed, and Rossi’s attitude was careless to the point of being retaliated against.

Honestly… There was no possibility that Ruina would hold a grudge and harm Rossi.

“Really, you must pass.”

“Yes! I will definitely do it. Let’s pass the exam together, Eugene!”

“… Yes then.”

Treat them as if they were ball friends who came here with you, but the sociability of girls at this time of year is amazing.

Or is Rossi unique?

[There will be groups in a while. The organization is randomly decided, and the lottery results will be relayed for fairness. The test method… ]

In the meantime, a guide voice rang.

The test method, as already announced, is to clear the mission in a virtual environment.

The details have not been announced, but I know about the examples.

Maybe… If the previous life I remember is correct, the premise follows, but I was half convinced.

Isn’t it true that the anonymous sword method existed?

“Is it group evaluation? Eww… shake.”

Rosie doesn’t seem to know anything about it.

Even that ‘approximate’ content.

It was a little unexpected that there was a test related to the test that came to me when I passed the 1st practical test, but I guess I didn’t check it.

“Hey. Don’t you know what a test is?”

“Huh? Of course you don’t know?”

Looks like you haven’t checked.

‘It’s a strange species.’

It is of course advantageous to know the contents of the test in advance.

On the contrary, I explained it to everyone, but if you’re the only one who doesn’t know, it can be said that you’re starting with a significant disadvantage.

She agreed to explain in return for the favor she had represented me.

In addition to general information, even information that only a few know.

“It’s like taking an exam in a virtual world created by the Archmage. It’s like fighting people or slaughtering monsters in a set environment. In general, a very large-scale war is given as an environment, and the expected battles are the Great Demon Tribe, the Great Beast, the Heterogeneous Alliance, and the Great Unified War. It’s probably about 4 of these. It is safe to say that the test evaluates adaptation, survival, and combat ability, respectively, and success or failure is determined according to the scores. So take the exam with a high score in mind.”

“Huh? I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean.”

“…… “

I think I explained it as easily as possible, but from Rossi’s point of view, it didn’t seem that way.

For some reason, I felt like an explanation junkie.

“Just… Survival, Adaptation, Combat Ability. Just remember these three things. Don’t use the test porridge for nothing.”

“hehehehe. Huh!”

I definitely don’t think I’m the type to use my head.

I didn’t even exchange a few words, but I think I can feel the idiotic taste.

Is this a very rude idea?

Dali.

‘The amount of mana is considerable.’

Excellent compared to other students.

As far as I can judge, Rossi is at a level where he can easily pass as long as he doesn’t mess up the exam.

But… Also, luck was just as important as skill.

In the meantime, the lottery proceeded and my number was called soon after.

[Article 37 No. 1,378. No. 1,431…. No. 1,722.]

“No. 1,431? Me : yes? I’m 37.”

“I am also in the 37th group.”

Me and Rossi were in a group.

It’s strange that it’s a true relationship.

Out of countless test takers, how likely are you to be in the same group as the person talking next to you?

“Wow great! Take care of me, Eugene!”

“…… “

She shook hands with a smile as if she was happy to be in a group.

I just grabbed it and shook it.

With this kind of affinity, you won’t go hungry even if you fall in a remote area. While thinking about it.

[Please move Article 37 to the designated location.]

While listening to Rossi’s pointless chatter, there was a notification calling the group I belonged to.

The designated location was marked on the large screen hanging in the plaza, so it moved according to that control.

“Wow… ! Interesting.”

The space we arrived at was one… It is a closed room that appears to be about 30 meters in length and width.

There were several people who seemed to be test helpers, and there were spherical machines that looked like future machines.

“What is that?”

“At a glance, it must be a capsule that connects to that virtual world.”

Excluding Rossi, the other two members seemed to be magical, but I didn’t get a special impression.

“Come this way. Eugene.”

One of the teaching assistants called my name.

I walked over to the machine he was standing on and stood.

“This machine is a virtual device. Safety has been tested hundreds of times and verified. Please lie comfortably in the capsule with my help. I will connect the machine and inject the solution, so don’t be surprised.”

He skillfully guided me through what was to come.

Seeing that the crew is immediately put into the machine without any greetings, it seems that this is also a measure for fairness.

His explanation continued even when I lay down in the capsule.

“When you open your eyes, it’s a world that’s almost like reality, but it’s not reality. It means that even if you die, you don’t actually die.”

This is what I know in general.

I nodded lightly,

“Then I look forward to taking the exam safely, Eugene.”

‘Hmm?’

It is correct to call by number, but the test supervisor picked up my name and called me.

What is it?

He was smiling strangely, but he didn’t have time to think about it any more.

Because the water rushed quickly along with the injected solution.

‘If you reject this… ‘

I thought about that for a while… If you reject the Suma, you probably won’t be moved to the test site.

I closed my eyes when I felt the mana enveloping my body.

Daat-.

And when I opened my eyes, I was standing on top of the castle wall.

“Waaa.”

A shout that comes straight out.

Where I am is not unfamiliar.

‘Floria, the capital of the empire.’

It’s not exactly the same as it has a bit of an old-fashioned feel, but there are similarities here and there.

The next thing I saw was under the walls.

An enemy like a swarm of ants advancing towards the wall.

‘…… ‘

When I looked carefully at its external features, I could spot those with horns.

‘They’re demons.’

Then, among the four major evaluations, the Great Demon War would be the environment for this test.

The rest of the crew must have been put in somewhere.

Since the castle is quite large, I thought it would be difficult to come across it unless I looked for it.

‘Rosie… ‘

I think I’ll do well on my own, so let’s focus on my work first.

Based on the information in my memory, I will consider several options for getting a passing grade on this test.

A wave of demons rushes into this wall, and points will be awarded depending on how well you block it.

Of course, you don’t have to block their attacks alone.

Because there are countless soldiers, commanders, knights and wizards on top of the castle walls.

Waves range from 1st to 3rd.

Of course, it gets stronger as you go from the 1st to the 3rd wave, but if you block up to the 3rd wave, you get a lot of bonus points.

The level of difficulty was, of course, inevitable.

If you have average skills, it will be easy to block the first wave.

And, if the 3rd wave is blocked, the master of the empire joins in to end the war and the test ends.

Even so, it is not determined by the turn in which the winner blocked the wave.

Because each team member has a different level of activity.

Monitoring mages must be evaluating each individual.

‘Still, if I block the 3rd wave, the bonus is pretty big.’

As long as I block all the waves, Rossi gets extra points.

Isn’t luck also included in skill?

In conclusion, the method for me to pass this test is very simple.

To help the soldiers and knights to block the 3rd wave.

But.

‘Then it wouldn’t be fun.’

I intended to take this test alone.

For example, the demon castle that looks like a dot beyond those bee-like demons.

How about marching there and picking off the devil’s head?

‘Perhaps conceptually, even the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings have been implemented.’

Even at the level of the archmage, the original could not have been perfectly reproduced, so it must have been a level that only matched the assortment to some extent.

As expected…

‘Han… Will the Demon King become a master?’

Isn’t it worth trying?

If you’re going to show off your skills, it’s better to show clearly than halfway.

“Go around uh uh uh uh uh-.”

The commander’s amplified voice interrupts my thoughts.

Yes, from now on, this exam hall is my own stage.
