Chapter 29: Chapter 23 Lanci's Clear Logic_1
Main Building of Sage Academy, top-floor meeting room.
As today's third round of assessments was ongoing, Sage Academy's teachers started their meeting, just as they had done before.
Aside from the magic fluorescent screen that connected a center piece, the walls around were primarily composed in a simplistic white, complementing the sleek marble floor splendidly.
Currently, they were watching in real-time as Lanci and Hyperion were the examinees, and Firat was the examiner for the first test.
"Their luck..."
"Those two examinees, they wouldn't dare challenge Firat, would they?"
In the meeting room, the teachers either remained silent or occasionally shared a few brief conversations.
In the test posed by [Infinite Illusion Valley].
If one is unable to escape for 30 minutes, then the only solution is to confront the examiner directly.
Sometimes, there are indeed confident and powerful students who opt to directly intercept the examiner.
However.
A fully operational team of third-order examinees has hope of stalling the fourth-order limited examiners for a period of time.
Yet, all the teachers sitting in the meeting room recognized.
The examiner for this test—Viscount Firat Swensson, was naturally powerful.
He was a careful and unsparing Position Mage.
Even without using magic cards, Firat mastered many lethal spells, easily trouncing the Kingdom's regular army officers of the same order.
Backtracking, even if one doesn't discuss orders, based on Firat's years of extensive combat experience alone, it was enough to overpower two freshmen.
Moreover, he could now use up to fifth-order power.
The two sides were not even on the same level.
"..."
Vice Dean Ron, rubbing his chin, silently watched the projection in the center of the magic fluorescent screen.
He knew that this entrance examination involved the interests of some higher-ups in the kingdom.
There also was an invisible force impacting this test, preventing Hyperion from entering school.
After cleverly using Lanci to increase the difficulty while adhering to the rules, the only uncertain factor for them lay in Lanci's "unconventional wisdom".
Yet, any chance to deploy tricks was blockaded by the flat terrains.
Ron was unsettled whether this was a coincidence or inevitability.
Basically, these two freshmen have had fairly poor luck since they first encountered one another.
The Shadow World was the same.
No matter what skills one has, it was difficult to survive without the favor of luck.
...
On the boundless plain.
Dew hung on the tips of the grass, crystal clear, making it look like gems.
Firat had already stopped in mid-air, a fair distance away.
He transitioned from sweeping across the sky like a shooting star to sudden stillness, not advancing any further.
Because at this distance, he could already cast powerful spells to annihilate both of them.
Firat, the examiner in mid-air, looked down.
He was silent for a while.
Seeming to be inspecting the two's state.
They were a lot more at ease than he had imagined.
"You can drop out of the exam now,"
Firat raised his hand slightly, pointing to Lanci standing behind Hyperion, and said.
His tone was very low, almost like an order not to be questioned.
However, the next moment—
All he saw was—
Hyperion's eyes now filled with an alertness as she obstinately blocked in front of Lanci like a vanguard.
From this angle, it's harder for him to instantly kill Lanci.
"Why would I drop out?"
Lanci asked, looking up in confusion.
"..."
Firat's index finger lightly tapped in the air, finding Lanci, the irrelevant player, quite annoying.
He initially wanted to convey some views on behalf of the higher-ups personally to Hyperion.
However, it seems there was a small annoying rat in the way.
"Did she promise you money, status, or something else?"
Firat's words carried a tone of mockery as he asked condescendingly.
In his view, any reward the endangered Duchess could offer was no more than an empty cheque.
Unless...
This naive lad was captivated by the Duchess's enchanting beauty and was thus willing to help her.
However, once he truly learns what this Duchess is about, he'll likely be scared out of his wits.
"Heh heh."
Lanci chuckled upon hearing the words, as if he'd heard a ridiculous question.
He took a deep breath, his eyes turned stern, staring at Firat, he asked:
"According to the exam rules, she's my teammate. It's explicitly mentioned in Article 13 that I must work with my teammate. Didn't you read the rules before coming as the examiner?"
His tone was similar to a rebuking supervisor addressing a subordinate.
This left Firat, hovering in mid-air, utterly stunned.
