That "Magical Sword Princess" girl was taken by the magic department...
Yes I'm sorry.

　The faculty room of the martial arts department.
　The teachers who were in charge of the entrance examinations were sullen that they had missed out on a great talent.

It's a good thing that he chose the magic department. It can't be helped.
'Well...'
Anyway, have the exams been graded yet?
Yes. The successful candidates have been roughly determined. It's just.....
What's going on?
...and look at this.
Unemployed?

　A certain candidate's score sheet handed to him.
　The teacher looked at the occupation column first and raised his eyebrows.

There's no way I'm going to pass the "no job" test.
'That's ... look at the grades.
"?　You got an A on the written exam.... well, the written scores are just for reference.

　An A is the highest grade that can be given to someone who has scored more than 90 points.
　But this alone does not overturn the fact that I am "unemployed".

''........the problem is the practical test.
Practical?　Nah, with an S rating...?

　Rating S.
　That is the highest possible rating, which may occur only once every few years.

　In the history of the martial arts department, there had been only a few students who had received this rating on the entrance examination.

　What surprised the instructor even more was the reason for the S rating.

''Entering a goblin den and defeating nearly a hundred goblins, including the top species, single-handedly...?　And you even killed the Goblin Lord...?

　If this is true, then he's not even close to an S.
　This is the first genius since the beginning of the academy.

There must be some kind of mistake. Who was the examiner?
'I'm Melena, a junior. I'm a serious student with excellent grades. She is not the type of person to lie. In fact, I've checked with her and she says she's sure of that.
'Then this is a fact ... no, wait, wait, wait!　This candidate is not unemployed?

　He had forgotten about it because the content of the report for the practical exam was so blown out of proportion.

''Of course, it's possible that it was a mistake on the part of the appraiser...''
If you do, you're in big trouble, okay?
Yes. But in that case, he should be able to point out his mistakes...
'Well that's...'

　The teachers got their heads around it.

'So what shall we do...?'
Even if you are "unemployed", I gave you this evaluation in the exam. I can't afford not to let him pass. If possible, I'd like to re-test him, but the announcement of his acceptance is tomorrow. There won't be time to find the person who doesn't know where he is and have him take the practical test again.
...Okay. So let's call it a pass, then.
'So, please. In any case, every year, some of the successful candidates are dropped from the academy after they are admitted. If this boy is just an 'unemployed', he'll be leaving the school immediately.




　Meanwhile, at the same time, in the faculty room of the magic department, the staff in charge of the entrance examinations were also talking about the same thing.

''The child of the 《Magic Sword Princess》 has successfully passed the entrance exam to our magic department!　And look at this!
'　Rated S!　I knew you were as good as I expected!
'No, it's more than I expected!　According to the student who served as the examiner, to my surprise, he was using multiple attributes of magic!
'What?　How is that even possible?

　The staff is excited about the amazing new students.
　But then they see an inconvenient fact - their grades on the written exam.

The lowest grade of E..........Are you okay?　It's just a common sense question...?　Normally, no matter how good your practical skills are, that's a grade that would be dropped, but...
Well, that will take care of itself after you get in!
Yeah, that's right!

　Apparently, they decided to meditate on the inconvenient facts.




　Thus, Ark and Leila had successfully passed the martial arts department and the magic department, respectively.



　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇



Ark, how'd it go?
I'm in.
Oh, congratulations!　I passed, too!

　Today is the day of the acceptance announcement.
　Me and Leila had both passed.

And it was Tokutaisei!
Tokutaisei?
I hear you don't have to pay for tuition!
Oh, you're a scholarship student. That's great.
Oh, geez. You did a great job with your handwriting!

　You said you were confident, but that was true.

That's why they gave me this!
What is this?　...Problems?
Yeah, you're supposed to make it to Commencement!
'Homework, huh. It wasn't in the martial arts department, but....

　I flipped through it.
　It's the same level of common sense questions as the entrance exam.

Do all magicians have to do this?
They didn't all get it, and I think it's just Tokutaisei.
....

　It's not that, this is definitely because Leila's grades on the written exam were terrible.......
　It must be a plan to let her catch up with the people around her as much as possible before she enters the school.

　.........But since Leila is motivated, let's not say anything unnecessary.

''Well then, I'll have to do my best to live up to your expectations.
Good luck!
