After I passed the entrance exam for the red academy, I came to the blue academy.
　It was a school for learning and studying magic related to water, ice and cold air.

''Looks like this is the exam room.''

　Even though they were the same 《Magic Master》, it was generally said that red magic skills were more likely to be expressed by men, while blue magic skills were more likely to be expressed by women.
　In fact, the venue earlier was dominated by boys, but the majority of the audience here was girls.

''Huh?　Why are you here?

　I turned around when I was approached and saw the girl I had just left.
　As I recall, Kufa or something like that?

I'm here to take the test.
...Yes?

　She raised her eyebrows dubiously.

''Because didn't you and Kite go to take the Red Academy exam together?
I got in. I got in, and I got in. That's why I'm here next.
'I'm sorry, I don't know what any of this means...'

　Hmm.
　Apparently, it's not common to take multiple exams at the same time.

''Apart from that, there's no rule that says you can't attend more than one institute, right?
'What, wait, you don't think you're going to go to the academy over here too...?　I mean, can you even use blue magic?
Sort of.

　'Of course I don't have the skills,' he said.

But I wouldn't recommend it. As you know, the "wrong color" magic has completely different magic letters and grammar, and if you try to learn them all at the same time, you'll get confused. It's difficult to master even one color of magic, so you need to focus on just one.

　Indeed, at first glance, the letters and grammar seem as if they are different in color.
　But if you understand it more deeply, the principles that flow underneath them aren't that different.

　With a skeptical Koofa behind me, I finish the reception just as I did earlier.
　I was surprised by the fact that I was 《unemployed》 again, but it seemed that they would still let me take the exam.

　The content of the exam was similar to that of the Red Academy.
　However, there are multiple targets here - forty, and each one is small.

I see. So you want to see control and continuous firing speed rather than power?

　In terms of the nature of magic, red magic is still inferior in terms of power.
　Hence, blue magic often compensates for its weaknesses by placing more emphasis on its hit power and number of moves.

''Waterball!''

　One girl was just in the middle of an examination.
　She created a series of fist-sized chunks of water and hit the targets.
　She missed several times, but managed to hit all the targets in about fifty seconds.

'Examination number eighteen, you have passed.

　Apparently, it'll pass.

Apparently, you can pass in under a minute. Mine was 30 seconds.

　Koofa tells me with a bit of pride.
　She has already completed the exam and seems to have passed it successfully.

''So, are you really going to take it?''
Of course.
Well, if you say so, I won't stop you, but...

　He seems to have a surprisingly meddlesome personality and seems to be worried about me.

　Eventually, my turn comes around.

'Huh?　Unemployed?　Wait a minute. You're disqualified for professional misrepresentation, aren't you?

　But then the examiner blamed me for my profession.

　She was in her mid-20s.
　She has a high and proud face, and I inwardly let out a sigh of relief that I'm about to get into some trouble.
　Well, you shouldn't judge a person by their face alone.

''It's not a fraud. I'm definitely an "unemployed".
If that's true, then you don't deserve to take the test.
Hmm?　I've heard that anyone can do it, just take the test?
Even if that's the case in principle, I would normally refrain from doing so. I'm working as an examiner in my own time, and I don't want to waste my time. We don't want you to waste your time.
'I don't think we're wasting our time arguing like this in the first place.
That's why I'm asking you to get out of there. I'll call the next number of candidates in a minute.

　She's a very impatient woman.
　Ten seconds, and then it's over.

"Ice Edge

　I made forty ice blades appear at the same time.
　Of course, the same as the number of targets.

I'm not sure how many of them are at once........　And it's ice...

　As the female examiner gasped, I shot at the target at once.

　Zugagaagaagaaga!

　Forty ice cubes hit the forty targets almost simultaneously.
　The sharp blades pierced the targets.

''........Hmm. About six of them have deviated from the center.

　I still have some accuracy issues, but this should have cleared the test for now.
　They said the passing line was one minute, but it probably took less than ten seconds.

　Come to think of it, there was no need to break the target this time.
　I didn't have to go to the trouble of freezing the water.

　I said, "You're not going to complain about this, are you? I looked at the examiner with a face like this.



　But the examiner was just shaking his body with a rut and didn't say anything about passing or failing.

　But there is no such thing as a failure at this point.

　I'm going to leave the exam room, passing by the side of a beaming Koofa.
　I still have four more exams to take.

　If you work hard, you might be able to finish them all today.
