2nd Round Villain

115 – Placement Test – 1

I took Aru and went to the place where the freshmen were called. I was going to go with Maria too, but since Maria has a social status, a lot of students get confused.

Well, if I told you that the saintess of that castle country had come, I would bet first.

Eden Academy is a place that aims for equality, but students are not equal until they go outside. Even if you have an academy diploma, commoners are commoners, nobles are nobles, and slaves are slaves.

Of course, most of the lower class students who enter the academy dream of raising their status through connections with aristocratic students. Even more so, if the target is a saint, even if it’s not a commoner but an aristocrat, he should bow down.

Anyway, for that reason, Maria is now overflowing with people. I hate being crowded, so I left the place with Aru.

“Fellow freshmen! Here you go! here!”

mate-!

The narrow-eyed teacher I saw when I first came to the entrance ceremony leads the freshmen with applause. Aru and I had already arrived in front of it, but most of the other students were at a loss, riding in suckers.

“Everybody quiet-! Why are the new students so messy this time!”

When the narrow-eyed teacher was sweating from the difficulties of leadership, a huge cry seized the hall. The students became quiet in an instant.

“Ahahahaha… Everyone, come here! Because from now on, I have to take the placement test! And Miss Beatrice! You can’t scare the freshmen too much!”

“Keuheum, it’s the only way to keep discipline like this so that it doesn’t leak into the side roads.”

The one who shouted was standing next to Mr. Nintune, someone I and Aru knew well.

Iron-blooded teacher Beatrice. He accepted my order and entered the academy as a teacher, but in reality he is my knight, the Sword Master.

“That, that’s the ferried teacher… .”

“be careful. Rumor has it that an imperial escort knight last time was ‘educated’ by him for being rude in class… !”

The students hummed as they looked at Beatrice. Beatrice, what the hell have you been doing?

“Especially when you are a freshman, there is a high probability of getting into an accident because you are excited and excited… Mmm!?”

“Miss Beatrice? Why?”

“… Nothing else. The students are slowly gathering, so please explain the rules of the placement test.”

Just now, I met Beatrice’s eyes. I waved my hand softly in delight.

As soon as Beatrice saw me, she tried to jump out immediately, but soon, perhaps conscious of the students’ eyes, she relaxed her feet. Then, he glared at Aru and me standing side by side with burning eyes.

“Mung, it’s been a while. human.”

“Yeah, it’s been a while. But say hello later. Because now I have eyes to see.”

“Woof woof.”

After putting a restriction on Aru to prevent him from jumping out, I listened to what Mr. Nintune said.

“Perhaps what freshmen are most looking forward to is the placement test. That’s why class assignments have a big impact on your future academy life.”

A narrow-eyed teacher holding the microphone and calmly explaining about the ‘placement test’.

The eyes of the students shine. As you said, most of those present here are very interested in the placement test.

me too, same

Eden Academy has three grades. And within the three grades, it is divided into three classes.

It is simply called A class, B class, and C class, which divides students according to their level.

Someone may protest that this is not discrimination, but Merlin once replied that it is discrimination. In other words, it is to prepare the best education system according to each person’s ability.

I also agree with Merlin’s thoughts. If a student with the skills of a high-ranking knight and a student with the skills of a low-ranking knight were given equal classes, the upper-ranking students would be bored and the lower-ranking students would find it difficult to keep up.

Of course, if this is applied incorrectly, only excellent students receive better classes, and the poorest students receive poor quality education, resulting in the rich and the poor.

The great sage Merlin, befitting the dean with the ambition to establish an academy that aims for equality, created a system that provides maximum educational services to the C class. In simple words, it is the sound of ‘customized education’.

That’s why Eden Academy was able to become the best academy on the continent in less than a hundred years.

“The placement test is divided into theory and practice. Theory consists of basic subjects such as Korean language, mathematics, society, and history, and you can also select and view special subjects such as witchcraft, alchemy, swordsmanship theory, and monster hunting theory! Practice is organized in the same way as sparring and team play! Now, do you have any objections?”

The narrow-eyed teacher asked in a friendly tone. A student raised his hand and asked a question.

“How does sparring or team play work?”

“Well, that’s a good question! Beatrice-sensei, who is in charge here, will explain that to you.”

“yes? Be, Miss Beatrice?”

“… Why don’t you like it?”

Beatrice’s eyes flashed menacingly. The student who threw the question at that appearance was frightened and nodded his head.

“Oh no! great! great!”

Beatrice, what kind of image are you known to the world? Glancing at me as I pointed at the goal, Beatrice touched the handle of the sword tied around her waist and murmured words.

“Dalian has two ways. Matching with a teacher and selecting the class to belong to by drawing out the best skills one has, and determining the class by grasping the general level of the same students by sparring with each other. Of course, there is no need to be ashamed of belonging to a lower class. Rather, the level is not right, but it will be much better than belonging to a higher class and stumbling around.”

Beatrice’s tone is so hard even after hearing it for the first time in 18 years. The students nodded their heads in unison at the way he spoke like an army general.

“Teamplay is… It will not be in this class placement test. I don’t know if it’s later, midterm or final evaluation. Class assignments start this afternoon, so hurry up and warm up and get ready.”

“yes? Oh, today?”

“Evaluation is the most accurate law when it is done unexpectedly. Does the enemy know how to attack while watching your condition in real battle?”

“ah… !”

“If you understand, release your body first. It’s a Dalian test after the written test, so it’s good to look around the subject first. and… Those two students, see me.”

Thin fingertips come out and point to Aru.

this… I think the time has come to explain what has been going on for 18 years.

*****

When freshmen unfold their own subjects, sharpen their notes, or wield swords in the vacant lot to warm up.

Aru and I were taken to a secluded place between the buildings of the main building. Beatrice, my faithful knight, asked questioningly.

“Master, where have you been all this time? Why did you ask me to enter the Continental Academy? Do you have anything to say to me?”

“… Sir Beatrice, have you been sad all this time? I’m sorry, I’ll pay more attention in the future… .”

“I’m asking for an explanation! What should we do if you leave without saying a word and leave a letter behind! The same goes for Lord Aru!”

“Grunt… .”

“Ki-ing… Kung!”

“I am… Do you know how hard it was? Uriel leaves, and John doesn’t know anything, so he has accidents here and there… I brought them all the way to the academy, and how hard it was to study the subjects I forgot a long time ago to become a teacher!”

As if she had developed a lot of resentment over the past years, Beatrice confided about the hardships she had gone through like a rapid-fire cannon. There was only one of them to be salvaged.

Eventually, Uriel left. I’m glad it went as directed. Perhaps Uriel will go to the secret angel like this. Because you’ve always been curious about me.

“I’m sorry, Sir Beatrice. I also had my own circumstances. Anyway, I will not leave you alone from now on.”

“ha… .”

“By the way, did you even study to be a teacher? Hey, it’s Sir Beatrice as expected! Giving up your job as a PE teacher for Mr. Yohan and choosing to study! That’s amazing! Is this why I trust you?”

“Cheer, kong! that’s right! Humans are great!”

“Look! Our Aru also says Gyeong is great! It’s almost the first time Aru has complimented anyone!”

“… .”

Praise makes even whales dance. Angry Beatrice is no exception. Even more so if Aru joins in and helps me.

However, as if the 18-year-long resentment was great, Beatrice let out a sigh as she clutched her head.

“So, why did you come to the academy? Why did you ask me and Yohan to become teachers at the academy?”

“Oh is that it? It’s because I’m going to be a freshman at Eden Academy from now on. That’s why I was instructed to create an identity. Didn’t you even notice?”

“therefore… ‘Why’ did you become a freshman at the academy? I’m also curious about why he became a student at Eden Academy, where he fights against the demons, even though his master is a demon. In addition, even if you become students of the academy, I wonder why Yohan and I had to become teachers.”

Beatrice spits out the accumulated questions like a rapid-fire cannon. I answered without hesitation.

“hmm… First of all, I want to live an academy life. I have a friend named Saint Mary who wants to go to school with me. you know? You must have heard the longitude news this time.”

“Are you talking about Saint Mary? I saw it from afar earlier. But why did the lord go with her… ?”

“You didn’t know that much, and you wondered why the two of you had to become teachers, right? It’s that simple. In the future, while I enjoy my academy life, there will be times when accidents happen and there will be times when incidents happen. For example, ‘invasion from outside the academy’.”

At the word aggression, Beatrice’s cavity fluctuated. It was because only I knew that King, the southern duke of the demon world, or Jack, the younger duke, would soon descend.

And that’s not all. As the continental war intensifies and other races such as elves, dwarves, and even dragons mix, Eden Academy is bound to be affected.

Even in my previous life, the war between Pandemonium and the continent broke out when the continent was in full swing.

I could become a diplomat myself and bring the continent to a state of peace, but I have no intention of doing that. Whether they fight each other and shed painful blood or not is not my concern.

It is my job to drink the blood and grow in that battlefield. To face the final boss, the Demon King.

“You two, Sir John and Sir Beatrice, should be my shield. In addition, you have to cover up what I’m doing. Do you understand now? Why did I plant you two as teachers at the academy?”

“… To be honest, I didn’t fully understand it, but I did understand it to some extent.”

“great. Then, I wish you well in your future school life. Beatrice ‘Teacher’.”

He held out his palm as if to shake hands. Beatrice pondered for a moment, then grabbed my hand with a confused expression.

“and… There are many other things I want to ask about, such as the master’s mask. Or, is there a particular class you want?”

“A class?”

“Yes, you said earlier that you wanted to live in the academy with ‘Saint Mary’.”

“Ah, right. To do that, you have to be placed in the same class as Maria… Could Sir Beatrice help me with this?”

“If your lord wants it, however, if the difference in grades is too great, there may be obstacles to class assignment, so please keep this in mind.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Anyway, Maria must be A class. Because she was a byword for diligence and sincerity, insisting only on first place throughout her academy life.

If you have to be careful, it’s that you shouldn’t stick out too much. If rumors spread that a student named Evans at the academy is a genius among geniuses, he would become a major subject of investigation in the Demon Realm, and in that case, news of me might reach the ears of the Devil.

Unless it’s ‘me’ who has used all of the power of predation and exerted his full power, there is no way to deal with Kanos right now. That’s why, in order not to be noticed, they arranged a shield called John and Beatrice in advance.

“great. The placement test will start soon, so please head to the test center.”

“Yes, thank you as always. Sir Beatrice.”

“no. As a knight of the lord, it’s just a natural duty to do.”

Beatrice seems to be working too hard because of me. It’s her job, but I feel a little sorry for not paying attention to her.

If it was her ability right now, she could have become the 1st Knight Commander of the Empire or the national power level.

I’ll treat you to a delicious meal later, or get you a good sword and give it to you as a gift.

It was the moment when I was thinking about such things, holding Aru’s hand and going to the class assignment test site.

“Wait a minute, lord.”

Beatrice stopped me abruptly. I turned around with a puzzled face.

“There is a ‘magic blocking spell’ placed by Dean Merlin himself to prevent any possible cheating in the exam hall.”

“uh… But what? Don’t worry. Even if I cheat, I don’t cheat like that.”

What does this human see me as? Cheating while taking exams for young students. There’s no way I could commit such an unscrupulous act.

“It’s not like that, it’s that you have to break the recognition-damping spell on your master’s face. Even if it was unintentional, if you find out that you used magic at the test site… .”

“You seem to have misunderstood something, but I don’t play with that face. You can’t ruin the precious face your parents inherited, right?”
