80 - I targeted the dean.








 Dean Teresia's eyes widened at the sight of her frivolous-looking brother transformed into a gigantic magical beast.

 And when the black warrior (me) crushed the bipedal wolf-like monster, I couldn't help but say "wow ......".



 Good, good, good. That's good. Just a little something to add, in case you were wondering.



"I don't know exactly what a demon is either. But that thing was a tough foe. It may look like they were easily defeated, but if it weren't for the Holy Armor that Hurt and the others found, they would have had a very hard time.



"Pile ...... yeah?"



"It's the name of the holy armor. , isn't it?"



"That was named after the discoverer, the great sage Grunfeldt. Not a single piece of the holy armament found so far has had the original name."



 Oh, really? I looked to the side, and the little professor with the glasses quickly looked away. Ha-ha-ha, you little bastard. You knew and you forgot to tell us.



"In the first place, this holy armament was found in the ruins, wasn't it? How did you know its name?"



"...... look, it's written right here on the back."



 I quickly carved the name in very small letters on the back of my arm. The letters are so small I could write them on a grain of rice.

 The dean squints at me.



"I don't think it was there until just now. ......"



"It's pretty small. I must have missed it."



 I made it very small in anticipation of the excuse, "I'm not a good person.

 Professor Tia immediately intervened.



"To be honest, I am not sure if this is a holy armament or not. However, since it is as powerful or more powerful, we should be able to recognize that the task has been completed.



"...... Professor Tiareetta is right. It is impossible to prepare such an armament in advance.



 Not really, it was a hastily made afterthought.



 The dean turns his cheerful smile to Hurt C.



"Congratulations, Mr. Hurt. You have completed your assignment.



 I clench my fists.

 Hurt C. steps forward with his mouth closed. It's a dance of joy. I guess it's not natural if you don't speak up, right?



 Anyway, we have completed our only and only difficult task.

 Now we are not only one giant step closer to our goal, but we are almost there!



"By the way--"



 The dean says, patting a piece of holy armour.



"This is already Mr. Shiva, is it you who made the contract?"



 Hmm? I twisted my head, but then I remembered.

 The Holy Armor can only be used by those who have signed a contract. Professor Tia and I have already discussed how to handle it.



No, I'm only borrowing it temporarily.



"Borrowed? You are not a contractor, so how could you use it?"



"Well, yes. Whether it is a holy weapon or not, it seems to be the same that only the contractor can use it. Why I was able to use it is a secret. I would appreciate it if you would leave me out of it.



 Mysterious heroes have many secrets. It's not unnatural.



"...... Okay. Let's refrain from exploring that. But please let us know who the contractor is so that we can decide what to do with this weapon.



 The dean glanced at Hurt C.



"No, it wasn't me.



 As expected, he felt it would be unnatural if he did not say anything, and Hurt C answered aloud.



"Well, who is it?"



 This time, she turns her face toward me and says, "I'm not going to tell you anything.



Irisphilia.



 At first I thought of Char, but she is the girl who will be the queen of this country. I decided that a hastily made holy armor was not suitable for her.



 But I had to assume that someone in my group had signed the contract or they might take it away. I don't really care if I don't have it, but I'm kind of nervous about it, so I'd like to keep it on .



 On the other hand, I (Harte's side) already have a magic gun as my iconic weapon. I don't like the idea of wearing such a huge weapon.



 So, by a process of elimination, Iris was chosen.



"She is ......"



 The dean puts his hand on his chin, thinking about something.



"I brought it here now, but it belongs to her, as she has already made a contract with me. She is the one who usually carries it.



 Iris has been taught the transformation poses and mouthpieces of Char's plan. They can be equipped or unequipped in response to certain movements or lines.



"Okay. We will need to discuss the handling of this armor with the House of Peers. Could you tell Irisphilia to come here later?



 Professor Tia responded flippantly, "Yes, yes, yes,



"Just to make sure I'm clear, Hurt, you're sure you've completed the assignment, right?"



"Yes, I will report to the House of Lords and I will certainly persuade them.



 However," said the dean with a serious look in his eyes.



"You still have some work to do, don't you? You will be exempted from the practical exam, but if you don't pass the written exam, I will make a special curriculum for you for the lecture classes and give you a thorough instruction.



 Again, Professor Thia replies.






"Of course I haven't forgotten. Well, Hurt, you can handle the court magician exam level."



 Don't raise the bar so high.



 Though I'm not the one who's going to do it. I can cheat all I want on the paper test with my weird warding magic. Good luck, Professor Tia, and Riza.



"I'm counting on you, Mr. Hurt. I don't think you'll cheat, but it's a rule, so I'll take measures to prevent you from cheating just like in the general entrance examinations and official internal examinations.



 Huh, it's not the first time I've heard that, so I'm not surprised.

 I've never taken the entrance exam, but I've heard about it from Professor Tia. He said that the test center is surrounded by a large scale of wards.



 But if they're warding, then I'm in charge. You dance in the palm of your hand.



 So...











 A few days later, I passed the written exam with flying colors. You did it.
