Chapter 107 – 31. Reserve Platoon Strength Assessment (2)
For a moment, the eyes of the other cadets were focused on Rosette.
A red-haired witch with a strikingly cute appearance. In addition, he is a strong candidate for first place in today’s power evaluation. Among the nearly 80 members of the Golden Wings platoon, there were about 50 combatants.
All of them were cadets who could be called elite dealers of the Pantheon. The scene where the cadets looked at Rosette all at once was quite impressive.
‘I heard that the grade of the reserve platoon mission that Rosette handled was A-class.’
A mission in Nevers that I completed. That mission was later rated A-class. But even so, the grade I originally chose was B+.
However, from his first mission, Rosette chose the A-class mission without hesitation. And that same day, he completed all his missions and returned to the Pantheon.
‘I said it was the fastest A-class mission completion record in the Pantheon.’
Besides, he said he handled the boss beast of the mission alone. Rosette’s performance has been an issue for a while among the golden wings.
And it wasn’t just his skills that drew attention. Rosette’s cute appearance. In addition, Rosette was popular among cadets of other sects because of the uniqueness of being a witch.
Although it was not easy for anyone to get close to her because of her magical sect and the iron walls of her cadets.
Of course, Rosette flies to me like this. There was no problem at all.
“Don’t you think it’s a bit cold today? Even so, once inside the dungeon, the weather would change on its own. I want it to be warm inside!”
Rosette said calmly. A relaxed expression as if going on a picnic. I felt good, so I gently shook the long sleeves of my robe.
Chloe, who was watching from afar, covered her face with a fan as if she was annoyed.
“The weather doesn’t matter, doesn’t it? You’ll have to summon the spirit anyway.”
I glanced at the rosette. As usual, the witch’s robe has a large width. And she wore a skirt with her length down to her knees under it, and a light pastel-colored sweater.
Her attire that goes well with her today. However, I didn’t know that it would be a little cold if I rode the magic wand and flew up. Rosette replied.
“It is, though. If you want to ride a magic wand, the weather is also important. When you go up high, the wind blows a lot! And I changed it to this magic wand you gave me as a gift, Yulian, and my flight speed has gotten really fast! Lol.”
Rosette confidently held out the surplus stick in one hand. Of course, it was transformed into a normal magic wand through magic.
‘I’m envious of being able to fly freely.’
And that was Rosette’s morale as a combatant.
Compared to modern weapons, bombers and fighters. Of course, normal wizards also have ‘fly’ magic.
With the grace of blood, it was very different from a witch who could freely ride a broom or magic wand without consuming a lot of mana.
Besides, while flying like that, Rosette shoots 3rd tier magic like breathing.
It wasn’t for nothing that Chloe was beaten by Rosette in the sparring at her opening ceremony. Besides, Rosette will enter the 4th tier magic after this battle evaluation.
She is literally a witch blessed by the God of Magic. So Chloe didn’t hate Rosette for nothing.
‘Because I even made a genealogy.’
It was. A genealogy secretly created by Chloe for this power evaluation. And two days ago, I obtained the genealogy from Chloe using Cecilia’s contract.
Rosette, who seemed to be in a good mood for some reason, said with a bashful smile.
“You have this evaluation. It must be taken at a special test site created by our magic order’s professors and assistants. Do you see the equipment with a lot of hemp stones over there? That’s why the dark circles got worse because the graduate student assistants of our sect made them.”
“It’s not just the magic sect. I heard that professors from the alchemy sect also participated.”
“Really? It must be the professors who don’t get along well. Did President Sophia mediate well? By the way. About this evaluation. It was said that he used hallucination and illusion magic, and even the gate of the devil minus poison. So, do you want it to be similar to a real dungeon? I hope so.”
As expected, it was a tone that didn’t sound like tension at all.
When I entered the Colosseum a little while ago, Chloe hurriedly ran to me and greeted me politely. Unlike usual, he had a very nervous expression. He was a world apart from Rosette now.
‘If Chloe sees this, she’ll get even more pissed off.’
This power evaluation was not an ordinary test. An abnormal contamination gate found near Guhwangdo Island. The Royal Guard and platoon headquarters also recognized the seriousness.
The Pantheon’s reserve platoon was also affected. The level and difficulty of training was much higher than before.
So, this time’s test site was also made with care in Pantheon, which is unprecedented.
It was to the extent that we even used the Coliseum as a testing ground instead of an ordinary lecture hall or training ground. It was also an important evaluation to select a platoon leader with golden wings.
It was the kind of evaluation that Chloe with high self-esteem would definitely want to win first place.
It was the same in Demon King’s Slaughter. Chloe used all sorts of methods in the strength evaluation to beat Rosette, the fraudulent witch.
That means is genealogy.
In fact, there was no genealogy passed down through seniors in this power evaluation. Because of the special gate I had reported in the first place, it was a new evaluation made by the professors.
So, it is correct to say that the correct name is Chloe’s exclusive genealogy. Chloe bought the people who made the test site for this evaluation.
‘Test site for evaluation. I bought all the graduate students of the Magic Order and the Alchemy Order who designed the dungeon’s layout.’
The fact that professors have graduate students take care of all sorts of troublesome things is the same as reality at Pantheon.
Graduate students who worked at the graduate school under the direction of the professors and made the exam room overnight. Of course, I was full of complaints. It would have been easy to buy them with the financial strength of Aitern Corporation.
He probably handed out mincho tea and snacks to graduate students who were working all night, and gave them back money as encouragement money.
That’s why he must have created a genealogy close to cheats and illegal hacks. The power evaluation method this time is Time Attack.
The goal of this test is to enter the magical fantasy dungeon and defeat the dungeon’s boss as quickly as possible.
So, like Chloe, knowing the composition and map of the fantasy dungeon in advance was an advantage.
‘Of course Chloe made a genealogy. Although it was only my reasoning.’
However, unless Chloe was an idiot, there was no way she would go around telling others that she had created such a genealogy. He would have silenced all the graduate students he bought.
It was through Demon King’s Slaughter that I noticed the secret. Chloe can’t beat Rosette in terms of skill. In particular, when it was a time attack type test like this, it was more disadvantageous to Chloe.
That’s because she used to win a narrow victory over Rosette in this power evaluation. There must be something close to cheating, I reasoned.
And that was the answer. Two days ago. At the atelier, when I hinted at Chloe’s genealogy.
Because Chloe asked me back with an expression as if she had seen her ghost.
‘How did the Count know that?’
For a moment, Chloe was so flustered that she couldn’t even grab it. And from the moment the two know it, there is no perfect secret.
Even if the fact of the purchase was known, there wouldn’t be a big disadvantage to Chloe, the daughter of the Marquis. It would be very embarrassing if it became known to the magic sect.
In the end, Chloe gave me the genealogy for free.
The perfect genealogy that I obtained like that. And the secret of Chapter 1 of the Lion Heart Sword, the Midnight Sun, is now with me. So, I also had no intention of giving away first place to Chloe and Rosette.
“But… You know. Julian. Have you become friends with the spirits you signed with last time?”
At that time, Rosette blurted out to me.
“Government ordinance? If it’s Salamander, I think we’ve gotten a little closer.”
For a moment, I thought back to the sticky anal sex I had with Lilia at the stone altar. Salamanders were very well used for heating back then.
‘Actually, the spirit I’m most familiar with is Teneb, but.’
In particular, the affinity with Teneb, the spirit of darkness, has risen considerably. I used it often because of its dreamy properties. Of course, the Empire couldn’t carelessly talk about the Dark Spirit, whose contracts were forbidden.
“Salamander? But Yulian, you signed a contract with all four elemental spirits! So it would be a waste to use only one Salamander.”
After saying that, Rosette paused for a moment. He tapped the floor of the Colosseum with the tip of his toe, hesitated about something, and suddenly spoke in a loud voice.
“If necessary, I will teach you how to become friendly with the spirits!! Ugh?!”
Rosette herself was surprised that her voice was louder than she thought. It was cute seeing that small body shake.
I stroked Rosette’s witch hat. Then Rosette was startled again. It felt good because it felt like seeing a responsive pet. Rosette said in an urgent voice.
“…Don’t pet me like that…We’re friends.”
While trying to answer that question. The conversation between the two stopped for a moment. The Meters Instructor has arrived at the Colosseum.
“Now… Everyone pay attention! It would be nice if you came to play. Today is the day we have to do a troublesome power evaluation.”
Meters shouted with a sleepy expression on his face.
***
“… Then, this is the explanation of this power evaluation. Isn’t it simple?”
Instructor Meters’ explanation is all over. As he said, there was nothing to explain about the power evaluation.
A pseudo-gate spread out in front of my eyes right now. If you go in there and clear the dungeon quickly, the evaluation will all be over.
“If you retire in the middle of the evaluation, you will be ranked based on the difficulty of the place where you retired. After all, they were monsters made of fantasy magic and hallucination magic. Don’t be too scared At least it will smell less.”
Then, as if belatedly thinking of it, Meters added something.
“Ah. And one more thing. It is highly reproducible as it is a quasi-dungeon made by hand with purified hemp stones. Even if it’s a hallucination, getting hit by monsters hurts. According to the graduate students who created this pseudo-dungeon, it perfectly reproduced the pain and feeling of dying. Of course, I haven’t died yet, so I don’t know the feeling at all. It’s going to be roughly the same, so be careful. Then the evaluation begins!”
At the signal from Instructor Meters, the cadets moved.
Pseudo-gates made individually in front of the cadets. The composition in it was the same for all cadets.
And when you clear that dungeon, you return to the current place and rank it.
I sneakily checked the color of the gate. Green gate. Just like the mission in the Nevers estate last time, it was the Gate of the Type 3 Witchbeast.
However, dark black sparks flickered around the gate. If so, it means that it is a special type dungeon, not a normal type 3 monster dungeon.
‘It means it’s similar to the previous Cyclops Dungeon.’
Of course, since it is not real, the inside of the dungeon is more difficult. However, I know all the inside information through the demon king and genealogy. Not tense at all
I entered the gate. The surroundings were dark for a moment, then brightened again.
“It’s a dirty dungeon.”
As soon as I entered, the sound came out. There was a reason why it was difficult to rank first in this power evaluation. In the middle of a vast mountain range. Visibility was immediately limited by dense trees on all sides.
Finding the way was more difficult than finding the monster. In addition, it was full of curses and ominous fog caused by the demonic power unique to the dungeon.
Ohhhhh-
And not far away, the cry of a monster was heard. It wasn’t an ordinary cry. It was a sickening scream, like some sort of curse.
‘Your spirits are mixed. Is it a demonized monster?’
I took out the imperial sword from the scabbard. Last winter. An imperial sword that was first captured for the military parade in Essenmund. A new sensation completely different from that of the imperial sword was transmitted through the handle.
Woo woo woo-
As soon as the mana was blown in, the blade of the imperial sword resonated with a dull sound. And the runes clearly appearing on the blade.
It was the imperial sword newly strengthened by Cecilia. I checked the grade of the new imperial sword through the system.
