The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

We’ll discuss the laws of illusion later.

“So you’re the saint of the Holy Land?”

Kunon called out to the silver-haired girl with the halo on her back.

He had heard that a saint was entering the school.

Now I want to hear what she has to say, after confirming that it is true.

If she really is a saint, her attribute is light.

She’s a rare sorceress, though.

It is even rarer for a person to have both light and dark attributes.

And on top of that, she’s a saint.

I’m not sure if there are more than one or two in the world right now, but that’s how rare they are.

“And then what? I don’t want to be a pick-up artist.”

“I knew it! Really? That’s great!”

She responded in a very cold voice, but Kunon was excited.

“It’s the attribute of light, isn’t it? It’s the only attribute that can be used for healing magic! It’s amazing!”

“…… so you. You’re so familiar.”

The girl was extremely cold, but Kunon didn’t care.

“So please! Please! Tell me all about the light attribute! After the test…… let’s have something sweet to eat! I’ll pay for it myself! Please! The magic parfait is the best! Did you eat it? I did! Twice!”

“……Huh”

The girl, who was cold anyway, let out a sigh.

“I told you I don’t want to be picked up, didn’t I?”

“I don’t want to pick up girls, I want to hear about witchcraft! I’m not going to do anything more than that! I’m just going! I won’t lay a finger on you! I promise!”

“You’re not light, are you? What’s the point of asking? What’s in it for you?”

“You’ll never know until you ask! I want to hear it because there might be something I can refer to!”

“……Huh?”

The girl said, sighing once more with a cold look in her eyes as if to say it was useless to bother.

“Light stands above the other attribute magic. How can a higher level of magic be helpful to a lower level of magic?”

“What?”

Kunon was puzzled.

In addition, the two test takers were also a bit annoyed, as they watched the boy who suddenly started picking up girls in front of them and the girl who was being picked up, although they had no intention of watching.

Light is above other attributes of magic.

That’s not true.

There is no clear hierarchy between the light and dark attributes, just that they are rare.

…But if the girl is a saint, it’s hard to say it’s a mistake.

It’s not proportional whether you’re a light-attribute sorcerer or a saint.

You can find a lot of people who are not saints who have the light attribute.

In fact, there is a reason why I have to agree with you when you say that the existence of a saint stands above that of a sorceress, not because of the light attribute.

The reason for this is the special magic that only saints can use, called inherent magic.

――

“Don’t give me a bunch of boring reasons, just say you’re looking for a pick-me-up.”

“What?”

Kunon was puzzled by the overlap, but – for now – he decided to correct it one by one.  

“I think the water attribute is the best, and it’s as good as any, but…”

“What?”

This time, the girl was confused.

I think the water attribute is the best, and it’s as good as any other attribute. No matter what attributes you have.

I just can’t believe my ears.

“I’m not really a pick-up artist. I wouldn’t be so rude to ask a woman I’ve never met before out on a date.”

And I don’t like the silver in your hair, I won’t say that.

“I don’t like your silver hair. You don’t ask someone out when you don’t even know each other’s names. That’s not what a sincere gentleman would do.

I’m sorry, I got your hopes up.”

“……”

What is this situation where I was rejected in the end after being subjected to an incomprehensible logic?

The girl was just confused.

“I’m not expecting anything.”

“That’s good to know. So can we talk after the exam?”

“What do you mean, ‘then’? I’m not going to talk to you.”

“Hey. You can pick up girls later.”

Kunon tried to argue with her further, but he couldn’t.

I wanted to correct her that it was not a pick-up in the first place, but that was no longer the point.

The one who suddenly intervened was a young man with the most powerful magic power among these men. He was accompanied by a woman.

  They seemed to have arrived while Kunon and the girl were talking.

Yes, the teacher who would be the examiner had finally arrived.

“My name is Serph Cricket, and I’m a teacher here at the Dillashick School of Magic. This is my assistant, Seyfi.”

“I’m Seyfi. I have not been officially hired, but my position is that of an associate teacher.”

When the examiner said his name and greeted him, the air, which had been relaxed earlier due to Kunon, tightened up.

The entrance examination is about to begin.

– In addition, Serph I saw in my vision had four green light balls floating above her, and she had about ten earth rats at her feet. There was no violation of the new law.

“Well. First of all, congratulations to all four of you on your entrance.”

The two of them clapped absent-mindedly as Serph said, “Basically, we hire people just because they are magicians. Even if you don’t have any magic skills or knowledge now, you can train yourself in the future.

Rather, this is a place to train them. We don’t throw out valuable magicians that easily.”

What a surprise.

I didn’t know there was such a twist.

“You didn’t know that, did you? Surprisingly, the people involved here don’t talk about it. I guess they all heard from someone that the exam was difficult. It’s just a bluff by some graduates……. Well, I can’t say they’re all bluffing, either.”

What a surprise.

I didn’t know there was such a tangle.

“Uhm, well, so what’s the test? What is it for?”

It was an adult candidate who asked.

“This is how you’ll be assigned to spend your time here. I’m going to explain everything to you, so listen carefully.”, Serph said.

The exams that we’re going to take will determine the courses that we’ll take at the magic school.

The reason for this is that everyone has different interests and specialties, and it would be inefficient to study them all together.

Some, like Kunon, have prepared well in advance and trained in magic, while others have not yet become apprentice magicians, having been brought here only because a sigil appeared.

It’s impossible to make such two people learn together.

That’s why I’m going to divide their time at this school.

In short, they are divided into classes according to their abilities.

There are three classes: special class, second class, and third class.

“The special class is also known as the ‘free study group’, where you can choose what you want to do and learn, and do it on your own.

The second class is also known as ‘teacher-led’.

It’s the most similar to how you would spend your time in a typical school. This is where most of us fall.

The third class is also known as the ‘basic group’.

As the name implies, it’s a class where you learn the basics…… With today’s lineup, I doubt there will be a basic group.”

In other words, Kunon’s target is the special class.

Where you can do your research freely.

There’s nothing more gratifying than that.

– I’m sure that the famous difficulty of the examinations at the magic school means that it is difficult to get into this special class.

Most wizards want to be free to experiment and do research.

“I’ll tell you, it’s not easy to graduate from any class, especially the special class, which is a course to train first-class magicians. Don’t think it’s easy.”

– A course that nurtures top sorcerers.

There’s no reason to aim for anything other than this.

“That’s the quick explanation. Can I start the test now?”
