Thank you for waiting. I'm next, right?

　Akali shifted and walked out of the guild, and Citri came in to replace her. She has the power to destroy my dungeon if she really fights.

　That's why I won't let you all back in the arena.

　I don't want to bring everyone back to the arena because we might have to make an emergency escape like we did with Akari.


"...... No. You can pass, too.
"What?

　The next time Citri stepped forward to face Gad, Gad suddenly said he would pass.

You're a monster like the rest of them, aren't you?

　Well. Well, you're a former Demon Lord, so you're the most suitable monster among us.

So you don't have to fight. In fact, I don't want to fight it.

You know what?

I see. ....... I thought it was the first time in a long time that I could really unleash my power.

　Citry looked a little disappointed.
　But you can't kill people without an exam.


"Next one's the last one, right?　Bring him in quickly.

　The remaining examinee was Luna.
　Gad seems to be planning to fight Luna.

　I'm a little nervous. .......
　Maybe it'll work out.


Luna. I'm about to take the test. Can I come in?

　Talk to Luna through the bracelet.

"Ah... I see Mr. Citri's exam is already over. I'm ready to go!

　Since she seemed to be okay, I summoned Luna to the arena using transfer magic.

　This place is cut off from the outside world by me, so you can't enter or leave without using transference. I don't think Luna will be able to attack with that much power. I didn't call the others this time because I had some thoughts. I've also asked Citri to go outside.

　If Luna is ever going to be defiled by Gad. I'd ignore the rules and help her. However, if I did that, given Gad's character, Luna wouldn't pass, and I would be told that I would be stripped of the opportunity to take the promotion test in the future.

　In that case, I would ask Kikiyo or Yoko to alter Gad's memory. If it's just a matter of erasing human memories, Citri might be able to do it. I'm a bit rough, but I can do it.

　To tell you the truth, I only wanted to cheat.


"I'm Luna. Nice to meet you.

　But ....... Cheating is not good.
　Ideally, Luna should fight and win fair and square.

Ahh... I'm not sure what to say.

　Gad's expression twisted in awe.

I know you. You're strong.

I'm strong, aren't I?

Yes, you are. You're not as good as the other bakemons. Well, to be honest, almost everyone there, including the guy, was so much higher than me that I couldn't really grasp the difference in power between us.

　It is said that when the difference in power is more than a certain level, it becomes difficult to grasp the difference in power between you and your opponent. I'm relying on my intuition in this area, so I don't really feel it.

　Probably because Gad couldn't grasp Citri's strength either, he judged her to be in our class of strength and stopped fighting her.


"But you... I know what you're capable of!　I know you're one of the strongest of the human race.

　Luna is not the best fighter in our company. You'll be able to find a lot of people who are willing to help you. She's one of the top combatants in the world, and as Gad says, she's a strong one.


"Oh, thank you.

　Luna is embarrassed, mistakenly thinking she's being praised.
　But that's not what Gad is trying to say.

"The only thing I know is that you're strong. I mean...

　Gad didn't understand the difference in power between us. But he did understand Luna's strength. 　

"Your strength is beyond my comprehension!　And you're weaker than me!

　Yeah, I guess so.

　Luna is an auxiliary tertiary, while Gado is a combat tertiary.

　If you fight normally, Luna won't stand a chance.
　I'm well aware of that.

　That's why I asked for confirmation in the first place.




That ....... Have the exams already started?

What?　Yeah, let's get started. Have a good time.

　I don't need to mind-read Gad's thoughts to know that he's trying to humiliate Luna.


Let's go, then!

　Luna pointed her hand at Gado.

You're an auxiliary combatant, aren't you?　I'm not sure what kind of magic you're doing with that...

　You'll be able to get a lot more than that.
　It was because he saw something in Luna's right arm.

　The right arm that she pointed at Gad was equipped with a bracelet.

You can't be sure that it's the magical equipment that he prepared?

　And by that, I mean me.
　When Gad looked at me, I nodded silently.

　I smiled a little.
　Because it was a confirmation for this moment.

"!

　I guess he decided he had to stop.
　Gad approached Luna at high speed, but...


"Firelance!

　Luna's magic was faster.
　Well, not exactly her magic.


"Heh. I've always wanted to do something like this.

　Luna said with a big smile on her face, as if she was happy that she had succeeded in activating an amazing magic.

　In between her and Gado stood a knight of fire with a roaring spear of flame.


"Hey, what's ......?

　Gad stopped in his tracks towards Luna at the appearance of the Knight of Fire.

　He stopped because he instantly judged that the Knight of Fire and himself were almost equal in power.

　If there was only one Knight of Flame, the knight fighting while protecting Luna would be at a disadvantage. If that were the case, Gad might have attacked Luna without stopping.

　What emerged from Luna's bracelets were five (5) body (5) flame (5) knights.

　In an instant, the power gap was reversed.


　Gad looked at me silently, pointing at the Knight of Fire.

You said at the beginning that it's okay to use magic tools, didn't you?

　I think I saw a few tears in Gado's eyes when I said this.

　This may have been enough for him. But Luna, the last examinee, is the most serious girl in the Elnor family.

　She probably thought that even if she won with the power of the spell I gave her, it would be meaningless in terms of the adventurer promotion test.

　Such a serious Luna gives Gad, who is already mentally dying, a hard time.


"Damage Invalid, Ultima Power, Ultima Magic, Ultima Speed, Ultima Concentrate!

　The five flame knights, each one as powerful as Gado, had their strength increased by dozens of times by this world's best auxiliary wizard.
