The exam in royal capital begins.
Only people allow to enter entrance are applicants.
People who are not students are waiting outside of the gate.
The moment the gates close, an angry shout rather than a yell descends from the parents of the students.
This is happening even through exam is not started yet. The test results will be announced at the entrance in the evening, and there will be an outcry when they do.
I followed the instructor who was in charge of guiding us and came to the auditorium. It's like a hall and has quite a lot of space.
Written test held first in this place.
Perhaps they were kind towards me, somehow Dia and Talt are next to me.
It seems that the test starts after a sufficient break.
It's time for final preparation.
[I was getting nervous. Regardless of my grades, even if I say I can be in the same class as Lugh-sama, I can't take any embarrassing points as Lugh-sama's servant.] (Talt)
[You just do what you always do. You don't have to get so worked up about it, but if you understand what I've taught you and make it your own, you'll get a good enough grade. That's how I taught you. Or do you just not trust what I have said?] (Lugh)
[No, I don't think like that! I think I'm getting motivated.] (Talt)
The straightforwardness and simplicity of Talt is an advantage.
Dia's side was calm even without having to say anything. She's strong-willed.
I encourage the two of them to go to the bathroom, and I do it myself.
I take deep breath. The instructor came over and announced the end of the break.
[The young birds of the future Alvan kingdom, I'm glad you're here. This test will now begin. A written test is taken first, followed by a one-hour break for a practical test. Let's talk about a few caveats. These are just to see how good you are and give you a proper education. No one will benefit from stretching your limits...... Therefore, wrongdoings are met with severe punishment. When the wrongdoing is found, you leave the premises. You don't even need to look at the practice exam to know you' re at the lowest class.] (Instructor)
The lowest class in Knight academy.
This will be greatest shame for aristocrats.
It is the label of incompetence at the bottom of the pile in this country.
...... Still, some will cheat. That's why the expectations of those around us are so high.
[No questions will be answered. I'm not even going to allow you to leave. If a student leaves the class, the answer sheet will be collected at that point. That's it for the warnings. Distribute the question.] (Instructor)
Test papers were spread in front of everyone.
It is turned inside out and the content is not yet visible.
[Then start!] (Instructor)
With the words of the instructor, the test paper is turned over at the same time.
First, a light check on the contents.
Not all of them, but roughly the supposed questions are lined up.
It's a relief to know that I taught them about the history and laws of this country without missing a thing.
I smile slightly bitterly at the questions. The tendency of the questions is biased.
There is a high percentage of history and laws that they want the aristocracy to understand about this country. It's the kind of question the school is designed for.
The questions that require thinking and calculation skills are within the range of what they can handle.
With this, all three of us can get high score.
In fact, from next to me, both Talt and Dia were running their pens effortlessly.
『In writing, it is only 30% of the points that I can earn points』
The history and laws of one's own country, etc., one would think that a aristocrat would deserve to know that, but a lower-ranking aristocrat would not.
The history taught by parents is conveniently adapted for each territory, and they only teach the parts they want to teach. In the first place, they often know only a small area around their own territory.
A book that gives complete knowledge is valuable and expensive.
In addition, finding a book with the right content is difficult in itself. It's more of a book full of lies and mistakes, and there's a lot of times they grab onto that kind of garbage.
This test is more about the environment in which they grew up rather than the talent of the person.
Once again, I'm glad I was born in Toutha De. My house values wisdom, which is why the stacks were lined with expensive and correct books.
...... If I earn my marks here, I won't stand out in the afternoon exam.
◇
Written test has finished.
I was terribly tired after three hours in a row.
It's not divided by subjects like in Japan, but all of them are given together, so the volume is huge.
They may be looking at things like concentration, not just smartness.
...... However, not being able to leave for three hours is a painful thing in its own way.
One student had to endure the toilet for a while, but then he reached his limit and walked out of the school with a bright red face and tears in his eyes. And also, there is amazing guy who keep taking test while lurking out of it.
They have to display the excellence of their own home. So I guess that's why they go that far.
One after another, the students, exhausted from exam, walked out.
There will be a break for about an hour, during which the grading will take place.
We decided to go to the spacious garden and take a rest on a bench.
Dia looks excited and tells us the results of the exam.
[I've probably solved 90% of the questions. It's a good score, but I'm not sure I scored more points than everyone else.] (Dia)
[That's about it for me too. I only did what Lugh-sama taught me, so I was able to solve it properly!] (Talt)
[I'm glad things are going well. If you can solve 90% of the questions, you're probably in the top ten. Only about 30% of the students were able to answer the questions properly.] (Lugh)
[I can't wait to see the test results. How about Lugh?] (Dia)
[Full marks unless I made a mistake...... Just because we learned it once doesn't mean the answer is right.] (Lugh)
The accuracy of the records is vague, and the contents are often different from book to book, so this can't be helped.
[If Lugh-sama is in first place, we're celebrating today! I'll be inspired to make a lot of delicious food!] (Talt)
[It's not necessary. Maybe they'll do something in the dorms to celebrate enrollment.] (Lugh)
[Ugh, that's a shame. But I'll try my best in the direction of making desserts!] (Dia)
She laughs bitterly. Talt is always thinking about me more than herself.
