It's a test. I'll give you a few pointers. These are the moves I used against you guys. All of them are extra moves, except for the Sky Slicing technique.

　I'm going to give a lecture to the three of them who still can't get up from the shock of the 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky' passing by so close.

''It means you're not in the realm of juggling. First of all, the technique you used on your little sister, the technique that allows a guard (protective) aura to flow through your body, but that is only able to flow a very thin guard (protective) aura.

　The human body is still delicate.
　If you let a strong and dense aura of meaningfulness flow through it, it becomes unbearable and takes its toll.
　If you keep doing that without a second thought, you will become a bedridden old man with wobbly legs and feet before you reach your fiftieth birthday.

But in order to prevent the burden on the human body, I can only channel a very thin guard aura. I can't even use it as a shield against an impending attack aura.

　Take the inferno, for example.
　In front of his red deadly blade, it would mean nothing.
　I'm sure he would have his thin guard aura torn apart like paper.

You're not going to be able to get your hands on any of them. Why is that?
'What?　Uh....?
That's because our auras are too different from each other in absolute terms. Even with your full strength, you couldn't overcome the lazy power I was holding back.

　It was a battle method that could only be established if there was a difference in strength between them to the point of separation.

　The same is true of the battle method I used against my eldest son, pouring aura into the air.
　As I said before, in the end, the original wind magic of the original family was overwhelmingly superior in terms of both the power and complexity of controlling the air.
　Not only the mages of the demon race, but also the veteran adventurers who are used to fighting these sorts of things will not be able to exploit the emptiness of the veteran adventurers.

　And if the opponent is as fast and accurate as the inferno, they might be able to take advantage of an opening in their surprise move and aim for a fatal wound.
　As I thought, it was just an afterthought that couldn't be used in a serious fight.

''And finally, the destruction of the armor I used on my brother...''
Yes....?
That was another technique that could have been used because we were so far ahead of them.

　If it was an opponent with an equal amount and quality of aura....
　In the first place, even if you try to pour your aura into your opponent's weapon, your opponent's aura will reject you and you won't even be able to mix with it.

　Only if the opponent's aura is weaker than yours, can you force them to fuse together as if you were pushing them down to the bed to create a resilient force.

　If the opponent is an inferno........
　............I'm done with this.

''You know what I mean?　In other words, you're overwhelmed by a feat that is little more than a banquet trick. Why?
Because we're too weak...
Good call. You survived just in time.

　Those who can admit their weakness will live longer.
　The reckless march is enforced by an inability to recognize weakness.

'Now the test is over. Step back and rest.
"Shit.....?　We're not accepted...?

　The eldest son slammed his fist on the floor.
　Right now, he was genuinely disappointed that his path to becoming an A-class adventurer had been cut off.

''I'm not so sure about that.''
What?

　At least that's the combination they showed.
　That was truly stunning.
　I'll need more samples to see if that was worthy of an A grade.

'Well, what's up?　The promotion tests are still going on, aren't they?

　All around them, the galleries that had been watching the fight so far flinched.
　But they are not truly a gallery.

　They are also candidates participating in the battle.
　They are only watching because they are waiting their turn.

''If you want to be an A grade, you can take your turn. You're the only examiner out of the three who isn't an A-class adventurer.　It's the easiest course. The sooner we get there, the better, shouldn't we be flocking to it first?
'No!　He's the weakest!　It's definitely a trap!

　A sharp rebuke came from the crowd of test takers.

What do you think...?
It's definitely strong!　If it's worse than Arantzill-sama...
Mr. Arantziel is an old man. The younger son is older...
The son of the strongest son is also the strongest.
"I never heard that the kid could use the Sky Splitting Authority...?
"Why isn't he a hero...?

　They are buzzing together and shying away from each other.
　Hesitation is good, but if you're not going to get it right, it won't end if you're not going to get it right?
　'I won't have time to give Gran a bath.

'Well, we'll do this. The same thing happened in the fight earlier. I won't be using my weapon during the test.

　I put the Hermes Blade back in my pocket after returning it to its grounded state.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to expect. You're going to have to be very determined.

　That lit a fire in the eyes of the test takers.
　Finally, the exam was in full swing.

◆

　The content of the exam was that me, Arantzill-san and Zester were going to beat the candidates who were challenging us incessantly.

　However, since the candidates had the choice of who to challenge out of the three of us, it seemed to give the candidates who gathered at each examiner a distinctive look.

　First of all, candidates with a genuine admiration for Alanziel seemed to gather under him.
　He is already a legend.
　Just being able to meet with him would be a lifelong memorial.

　Next, me.
　After beating the three brothers, a good number of them started coming in.
　They tend to be the ones with vitality in their eyes. They tend to be the ones that have a lot of vitality in their eyes, with melancholic fire in their eyes and blood running through them.
　Those with extreme upward mobility tend to come to me.
　Why?

"I'm going to be strong by beating this guy!

　They shouted at me.
　I was scared, so I stunned him with one punch.

　Finally, Zester.
　He also once called himself the "Hammer" hero and is an A-class adventurer.
　He should definitely be one of the strongest in the Center Guild........

　The people who are challenging them are somewhat slow to move.

''Anyway, as long as we pass, we're on our own.......!
To that end, I will give the weakest examiner...!

　I was mumbling to myself.
　Fault for being weak against Zesters.

　I can't give a pass to a guy with that kind of heart.
　I'm not a candidate who came to me, but I'm going to recommend that you fail.

◆

　This is how the A-level promotion exam was held over the course of the day.
　I fought with all the candidates....

''It's not too hard!''

　I gave my frank opinion.
　Right now, the three examiners, myself, Alanziel-san, and Zester, are huddled together, forehead to forehead, discussing who should pass. We're discussing who should pass.
　But first.........

''Isn't that too hard!''

　I stated my case frankly.
　We've been fighting all day long.

　No breaks, challenge after challenge, challenge after challenge.
　The sense of time was starting to fade in the middle.

I fought a lot more people than I thought I would.　In the first explanation, you said that the seventy-odd candidates would be divided among three, so each of you would have to take about twenty!

　But the number of people who had fought today was high.
　It was definitely more than twenty. Otherwise, there's no way they would have fought the whole day.

'Thanks to that, Gran got bored and went to bed!　I didn't get to interact with my son today!　What do you think you're doing?
Instead you get to meet new adventurers full of youth and hope.
Don't compare my beautiful son with those people!

　Compared to those miserable bastards, my Gran is an angel!
　Don't even think about it!

Well, that can't be helped. But where did you get the figure of twenty men each?
What?

　I freeze at Mr. Alanziel's point.

'Didn't you hear me?　A candidate can challenge the examiner as many times as he or she wants.
"What?

　What's the first time you've heard of that?

So a candidate who gets blown away by me, for example, can then challenge Mr. Alanziel or Zester?
As long as they stay strong and don't break their hearts. It's a test.

　That's right.
　If we simply pass if we win and fail if we lose, we'll all fail this year.

'After all, a single examiner will inevitably be dogmatically biased, so we have two or three people on hand. If all of them interact with the examiners, will they be able to make a fair judgment?
'Maybe so, but...'

　So the candidates who lost that fight didn't end up trying again one by one?
　Wasn't it an illusion that I felt like I fought over a hundred times today!

　It's like, 'Didn't we defeat this guy already? I think the reason why the guy who looked like that appeared a few times was because he was in a coma from fighting too much!

　Come to think of it, I think those three brothers have fought a few times since then!

Why didn't you just say so?
Why don't you just tell me what you know...?

　Mr. Alanziel is not bothered by any of that stuff.
　I had forgotten that's the quality of it.

''You are blessed to be able to challenge Aranziel-sama and Dariel-sama as many times as you like, this year's candidates are blessed!　I wanted so badly to be on the examination side!

　And Zester says it like it's someone else's problem.
　You're in a position to be envied for being squeezed by Alanzill on a daily basis!

That's enough rambling.

　Mr. Alanziel is in charge.
　Yes, the three of us didn't get together to complain about each other.

　If we don't do this, that's exactly the point of our futile fight today.

We will now decide who can pass the test based on the content of the exam.
