About four years have passed, and today is the day before the entrance exam for the Elite Academy.
I had come to the lord's mansion to receive a letter of recommendation and to greet him.

"Master Carmel. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.

I've never even heard of a magic that can change the color of your hair at birth. I've never heard of magic that changes the color of one's hair at birth before, so I don't think there's any way for the Elite Academy to prohibit it.

After such a conversation, the lord went to the back room and I was left alone in the reception room.



My hair color now is blonde due to bleaching magic.
People who are born with blond hair have a career aptitude of being a wise man, so I am apparently a wise man now.
If you're a tamer, you might be at a disadvantage in the entrance exam, so you might as well dye your hair to disguise your aptitude .......

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.
That's my strategy.

Incidentally, there are two reasons why I chose to be a wise man among the many professions.

The first reason is that wise men are the easiest to mimic.

The first reason is that wise men are the easiest to mimic. First of all, the aptitude of a profession indicates "which profession's special magic can be used with less magic power.
A brave man can use only the magic for brave men with less magic consumption, and a holy knight can use only holy magic with less magic consumption. ......

However, this is not the case for the wise.
A wise man is able to perform all kinds of special spells for all kinds of professions with relatively little magic consumption.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the spell of awakening evolution, which even a sage cannot use.
(It's not that it consumes a lot of magic power, it's that it's fundamentally useless for other professions)

(It's not that they consume too much magic, it's just that they can't use it with their fundamental aptitude). ...... With that in mind, let's discuss tamers.

As a tamer, I consume a lot of magic power when I use spells that are not exclusive to tamers.
However, a tamer can take the growth value of his followers as his own, and grow to have a tremendous amount of magic power that is distinct from other professions.

The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the tamer, with his overwhelming amount of magic power, can use magic of all professions as well as the sage.

This is the reason why it is natural for a tamer to mimic a sage.

...... The other reason is quite trivial compared to that.
To turn black hair into blonde hair, all you have to do is destroy the melanin pigment in the hair, and it is easier because there is no need to "dye" the hair.




Whoa, the lord has returned to the parlor.
In his hand, he is holding a piece of paper.

"This is my letter of recommendation to the Academy of Fine Arts. Take it with you so you don't lose it.

Thank you, sir.

I took the letter of recommendation and carefully put it in my storage spell.
The elite academy is only open to nobles or those who have been recommended by nobles.
In that sense, this letter of recommendation is a very important item.

...... and then.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

The Caucasus - now reduced to one-tenth scale by transformation magic and perched on my shoulder - said this to me in telekinesis.

Oh, that's right.
I had something I wanted to give to my lord.

I'm sure you're aware of that, but you're not the only one.

Yeah, that's right.

So please take this as your ...... exam fee.

I took out the leather of the snake demon Jormungandr from the storage magic and handed it to my lord.
This is also one of the spoils of war in the Caucasus.
I don't know how much the examination fee for the elite academy is, but I'd like to believe that this will be enough because it is said to be a ...... luxury item.

If you have any questions regarding where and how to get the best results, please feel free to contact me at .......

This is ...... Jormungand's leather, isn't it!　It's a high quality item that will give you more change than if you recommended a whole class of people.　Are you sure you want to take it?

"Oh, ......, it costs that much?　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I've already prepared a ...... gift for you.

It seems that Jormungandr's leather is worth more than the examination fee.
Well, there's no such thing as a gift that can't be expensive, so I'll take it.



Now that I've done all I can do, I'd better be off.

I said goodbye to my lord, and jumped on the myotrope.



.



That night.
I picked up a copy of "My First Choice is Non-negotiable" as a final check.

I had solved it over a hundred times, and it was looking pretty beat up.
It would be easy to repair it with magic, but it looks like "proof of study", so I've kept it.

I opened the last chapter of such a worn-out book.

I opened the last chapter of the book, which I had used for a long time, and found a section called "I tried to make a discarded question more difficult", which contains the author's original questions that were made even more difficult by exam questions whose correct answer rate was extremely low.

...... Yeah. I can afford it.

I smoothly solved the problems, which were neither good nor bad or strange, by conditional reflex.
And within a few minutes, I closed the book.

Unlike my previous life, there was less entertainment, so I could concentrate on studying for the exam.
This is what happens when you repeat a single reference book over and over.

I closed my eyes and went to sleep with a peaceful feeling.



The next day.



The next day.
When I woke up, it was raining ......, or rather, storming outside.

It was pouring so hard that I couldn't even see a few meters ahead.

Valerius ...... exam is tomorrow, isn't it?　You can't go to the ...... exam in this heavy rain. What are you going to do?

My mom was worried about me.
But ...... her fears were unfounded.

"Don't worry, Mom. I don't care about the weather.



I pulled out a funnel cloud from my storage spell and climbed on top of it.

I'm off.

I said to my parents with a smile. ...... I channeled my magic into the myotrope and deployed a spherical shield for inclement weather.
