What will the test do?
　How do we measure the candidates' abilities?　Will they draw the line appropriate for an A grade?

　The answer was pretty simple.

"It's a real fight.

　Mr. Alanziel says with his signature cane stick.

We will fight the candidate directly to find out if he or she is a good fighter. That's the best way to know for sure how good a fighter is, and you know how to find out, don't you?
Yes.....

　It's not that everything is efficient...!
　The importance of taking steps...!

What about the test for basic physical strength and stuff like that...?
They're all tested on the way to grade B, right?　The qualifications for the A-level promotion exam are that they are B-level adventurers. They have to take multiple tests to get here.

　That's exactly right.
　I didn't know that as a D-grade student...!

That's why we'll have to simplify it as much as possible. There were, I believe, seventy-four examinees this time, and the three of us will have to handle all of them. The three of us will have to handle all of them alone.
How come you're so few in number?

　The examiner.
　The examiner said there should be more of us.
　Especially if it's a direct competition.　It's just me, Alanziel and Zester.

"There can't be any unfairness in the examiner's ranks. You and Zester are the only two people who have anything close to that level of competence.
I'm honored!

　Zester is also unapologetically moved by the words of someone he respects.

He said, "I'd be happy to accept any rejection you guys come up with. Otherwise, it's a two-way street. Therefore, please take care of it.

　The exam is a real battle format.
　Apparently, the examiner fights with the candidates and decides if they are worthy of being called an A-level or not.

　The only criterion for evaluation is the examiner's feeling.
　The responsibility is huge.

　My stomach hurts from the tension just listening to the essentials.

'..........um, by the way, how many people are you planning to have pass the test?
Three to five.
How few?

　Only three to five out of seventy people taking the test?
　It's a narrow gate.

I don't care if no one passes, as long as none of them do. If we force them to pass the test, they'll die sooner or later and it won't be good for them.

　And on top of that, there are no passes?
　It's tough!
　This is the test that will determine the best of the adventurers!

You might have to brace yourself for this one...?

　To be more specific, how does the test proceed?

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with the help of a few of your friends.

　Since there are seventy-four examinees, even if we divide the number of examinees by three, each examinee will be able to take it by more than twenty.
　It's tough.
　I'm worried that Mr. Alanziel will not be able to handle such a large number of people at his advanced age, not to mention his physical strength. In terms of physical strength.

"Don't underestimate him. I don't care if you're as good a user as you are, you can't exhaust your physical strength no matter how many chickens come to see you, even if they don't even make it to Grade A.

　I've assured him to read my thoughts.
　Well, if you're the strongest and bravest of the past, you will be.

　And then there are the test takers.
　The exam has started, so they boldly challenge their predecessors as if to say, "My fate, open up my destiny.
　And then, in an instant, they are blown away.

"UGIAHHH!
"Aaaaahhhhhh!
It's not just Alanziel, it's Zester.

　Not only Alanziel-san, but even Zester was merciless.

　Mr. Alanziel-san was a proud wand stick that could make use of all the aura characteristics of the slash and strike.
　Zester, with the special hammer that once made him the hero of the Hammer.

　The young challengers were blown away like a thousand knocks.

''Tough...?

　Since it's a test, don't you dare to be passive or something in order to measure the characteristics and abilities of the challengers?
　How do you decide to pass or fail in the blink of an eye?

''I'm going to take it a little slower...?''

　Since I'm in the position of an examiner as well, the candidates should be rushing in in droves, but the response is somewhat weak.

"Hey, you can't go towards that thing...?
''Are you going to judge me properly?''
"If I knock him over in a hurry, he'll pass...?

　The sense of caution is intense.

　It's a good thing that the examiner, who isn't even an A-class adventurer, is the examiner who should be an A-class adventurer, because it's very strange to me.
　It's a good idea to have a good time.

　So I didn't bother to interfere, just to wait and see what happened.

The only thing that matters is the fact that it's not a good idea to have someone else go.
I don't want to, what if I get rejected for running into that thing itself?
Is that a trick question?
No, I'm going after Mr. Arantziel...?

　It's really annoying.
　Am I just going to stand there and wait for the test to be over?　It seemed..........

'Don't you guys have any intention of passing the test?　Then I'll be the first to go!

　And it was my brother who took the plunge.
　It's a guy who looks like Maleeka's brother.

It's not a matter of whether it's a fake or a pseudo-analyzer, if it appears as an examiner, you'll pass by beating that guy. Isn't that right, board members?

　The brother asks the Center Guild Board of Directors in the bleachers.

'Good lord,'

　The other members of the board of directors, except for the chancellor, seem to be in a state of mind that they're willing to take a stab at me because this is a unique opportunity to see my abilities in person, even if it's just anyone.

I'm not going to complain," they said, "so that's why I'm going to promote you to the A class while I'm beating you to a pulp. You can't complain. It's the Center Guild's fault for placing such a bogus person as an examiner, so let the Center Guild take the responsibility!

　They're ready to take me down.
　I'm going to fight.

　...hmm?
　What did you just say?

'We'?
Yes, you are the condemned by us, the three most powerful brothers in the Reyhanton Street Guild!

　Somehow, before I knew it, there were two people lined up on either side of my brother.
　Three in total.

　Huh?　Three brothers?

First of all, I'm Stanville, the eldest son and the hammer man!

　The brother who has been poking at me since yesterday said.
　He further followed it up.........

''Second son, shield-user Riebeke!

　His new brother is a great prospect.

'And my youngest son, Sareeka!　I'm a double-sword user!

　The younger sister, who was exceptionally young, said.
　She introduced herself with such vigor that something seemed to explode behind her back.......

　.........what does it mean?

　Didn't Maleeka have just one brother?
　Why are they multiplying?

　I looked at Malika sitting in the bleachers and she nodded back emphatically.
　Seriously?

"Um, I'd like to ask you something that I don't know, but.......?

　I, too, couldn't contain my excitement and asked.

You are brothers?　Three brothers?

　If you take it frankly, you won't know what you're asking, but they usually answer.

'How, well, actually, we're four brothers.
'It would have been perfect if you hadn't agreed with us and stayed in the countryside, but it would have been perfect for you to join us, but...'
But if we go to the city, my sister and my father will recognize us.　As a start, today, all three of us will move up to A class!

　The brothers don't hesitate to talk about their youthful dreams.

　And this is the guy I'm supposed to test for?
　It's not easy.
　I honestly thought so.
