[39] Another genius (1)
Sirone was promoted to Class Five.
It was fortunate that Shiina, who knew the unique way of studying called the backbone of knowledge, became a dedicated teacher.
Because the class rose two steps at once, there were times when I couldn’t keep up with the progress, but Sirone stuck to the old way to the end.
The advanced class takes an exam once a week, and at the end of the month there is a final exam to determine the rank for the month, and Sirone ranked 40th out of 40 in the first exam.
There were a total of 11 subjects, and the average score was only 32 points.
However, it is noteworthy that the scores for each subject were evenly distributed between 30 and 33 points.
The average score on the second theory test was 34 points.
‘An increase of 2 points on average may seem insignificant. But…’
The scores of all subjects rose at the same time.
The third test was similar, this time with a steeper rise, with all subject scores distributed between 36 and 39 points.
‘The whole thing is going up at once.’
Looking at Sirone’s performance graph, which was generally rising, I could feel his will.
‘thank god. Staying in the lower ranks for a long time can lead to a loss of confidence.’
In the graph, there was no such anxiety visible, and he was walking his way in silence.
‘Theory exams are important. It’s one of the main criteria for evaluating a battery.’
Teachers consider a score of 60 or higher as the minimum standard for mastering magic.
‘Assuming that you raise 10 points per month, you will be able to use basic magic after three months. If that happens…’
In less than half a year, the basics of magic will be able to speak almost.
Of course, since humans are not machines, there will be differences in aptitude depending on inclination, and the gap will widen as one gets a high score.
However, looking at the graph now, I felt a strange anticipation that it might be possible.
How far can you raise your score without missing a single subject?
The result would determine how much Sirone’s potential was.
‘My friendships are smooth.’
There was no student who ignored Sirone because of low grades.
When they reach class five, the students’ ground assignments are set to the graduating class, not the immediate rank.
Countries around the world are not sparing money to maintain the highest level of magic system, and in such a situation, the important thing for students is to differentiate themselves from other wizards by specializing in their major.
Therefore, students who did not yet have any special skills were envious of Sirone, who was a light specialist.
‘Even if I think about it, the photon series seems to fit well.’
Above all, the photon series was a field in which omnipotence worked more than batteries.
Of course, the battery side has also built a fairly advanced theory, but there is a limit to the human mind in order to use the properties of light.
In fact, if Sirone had not felt the articulation of time with insight, he would not have been able to complete the uncrossable bridge.
For this reason, classmates could not ignore Sirone, and juniors often greeted her during integrated classes.
Ironically, among the juniors, the student who followed Sirone the most was Mark, who returned after being disciplined.
“Sir, please sit here. I took your place.”
“Yeah thanks.”
As the captain of Class 7, Mark felt proud of being able to get along with Sirone.
“oh! Were you here? Will there be a place for me?”
“omg! Hello senior!
Mark jumped up and greeted Seriel.
Seriel was someone who was at the top of Class Four, so he was an untouchable great senior.
Seriel, who waved her hand as if she didn’t care, clung to her as soon as she sat next to Sirone.
“Our Sirone seems to have no energy these days. Well, since your lover left, is it natural?”
“haha! It’s not like that.”
A week ago, Amy took the promotion test and was finally promoted to her senior year.
According to Seriel, she passed easily, but it was clear that she had trained her teeth thoroughly without even looking at them.
“You must be lonely more than me. I used to go out with Amy all the time.”
“So what. But it’s okay. I’m thinking of entering my senior year soon too.”
“yes? Are you in your senior year?”
Seriel had enough qualifications.
There are many talented people in Class Four, but she was also a talent that stood out in recovery magic.
Besides, the senior class was a class that only focused on their major, so recovery magic with high discrimination would have many advantages.
“It’s not a place I go to because of my friends… but like Amy, I was inspired by you. Originally, it was my dream to go to a health center and live a rough life, but for some reason I thought it was a waste to end it like this.”
Hearing from Jaein, whom the school admits, that becoming a public health center worker is a dream brings Mark to tears.
“If you say something like that, what will happen to me?”
“Hehe, don’t worry too much. I didn’t come this far because I’m good at something. Anyone can rise to Class Four if they work hard. Sirone is a special case.”
Sirone hurriedly shook her hand.
“no. I’m actually pretty lucky too. The promotion test wasn’t a regular course last time, either.”
“Because there is nothing to lose. I bet you will be entering your senior year sooner or later. Although Amy is determined that she will never be a senior classmate. After all, try your best.”
‘Graduation class motive is absolutely impossible.’
It was an Amy-like remark, and as I imagined her working hard on training while grinding her teeth, my body heated up.
“right. Come to think of it, did Amy decide on her major?”
“what? You mean you still didn’t know? I’ve thought about it for a long time, but you guys are really dating.”
“It’s like that.”
As Sirone smiled and evaded it, Seriel put her chin on her chin and thought.
“Hmm, because Emiya’s main specialty is fire magic, and her fire method is specialized for the target type. From what I heard before, it seems like they’re probably targeting snipers.”
Most fire mages aim to be combat mages, but snipers were quite a unique field.
“If you’re a sniper, don’t you become a soldier?”
Seriel, who read Sirone’s feelings, smiled bitterly.
“I can’t. I also think it’s a bit strange for Amy to become a soldier, but it’s normal to choose a profession based on talent. Besides, Amy is Karmis from the first-class family. I’ll have to do something for the family’s honor.”
Sirone was worried.
“But it is dangerous. If necessary, go to the battlefield and harm people.”
“It may be so, but when a war breaks out, it doesn’t matter what your major is. Anyone with a wizard job would be put on the battlefield without exception. The magic academy will also become a training center for future wizards according to the kingdom’s orders. From then on, it’s graduation and nothing else. After receiving basic military training, it is unconditional commitment.”
It was a bitter truth that was hard to swallow.
“That’s why it’s a special purpose school. Even if a death occurs during education, half of the responsibility lies with the student.”
“To put it bluntly, we are also parts of the kingdom after all. Rather, the more talented people like Amy are, the stronger the war deterrence is.”
“That’s true…”
Although Tormia is a powerful country in its own way, it was not a safe job to be a soldier because peace cannot always be maintained.
Diplomatic friction could lead to war with other countries, and if an alliance kingdom requested support, Amy had to go to the forefront and fight.
The belligerent Mark didn’t take it seriously and was interested in the other side.
“Just imagining senior Amy becoming an officer would make her popular in the unit. To be honest, senior’s cute looks and soldiers don’t go well together.”
“Ho-ho-ho! That’s because you don’t know Amy’s personality. I think it would fit rather well, right? And Sirone, don’t worry too much. After all, wizards don’t use swords on the battlefield, and snipers tend to focus on espionage warfare anyway. It’s cool when you think about it, right? Beauty spy agent Amy.”
“Haha, that’s it too.”
Sirone stopped thinking there.
It’s true that I’m worried, but I wonder if a gifted child who has never missed first place in school made this decision on her own.
It occurred to me that worrying excessively about the decision made by the person concerned would rather undermine Amy’s self-esteem.
After the theory class, when it was time to practice Spirit Zone in earnest, the students rose from their seats.
Since the practice is supposed to train with the same class, Sirone also parted ways with Mark and Seriel and headed to the place where the students of Class Five were gathered.
Class Five was the class with the largest number of people of the same age in the advanced class, and Sirone’s age was exactly included in the average cutoff.
Although rivalry flares up during exams, it was also a class where you could forget the competition and laugh and talk.
Thanks to this, Sirone was also able to train Spirit Zone while paying less attention than other classes.
My classmates talked without hesitation when necessary, and when I felt a little bored, I went to visit other friends and chatted.
“Sirone is burning brightly today as well. If it’s okay, let’s do it together.”
Nade from Class 5 came to talk to me.
A mischievous face with light green hair.
He was a broad-minded boy with a cheerful personality and a good sociability as well as his appearance, so he couldn’t see anyone being left out of the group.
Whether magic resembles his personality, his grades were exceptionally good at, and there were no subjects he was bad at.
The only unusual thing was that he could use electric magic, which was quite rare among the various magic systems.
‘Electricity… It’s similar to light, but it’s a different field.’
The importance of omnipotence and omnipotence is classified differently depending on which attributes one learns.
For example, if light magic is omnipotent rather than omnipotent, ice magic is dependent on battery capacity.
In that way, electric magic was an impossible field unless battery and omnipotence were balanced in a 5:5 ratio.
‘Maybe this also resembles a personality.’
At first, Sirone thought so, but when she came up to Class 5 and listened to the story, there was something else going on inside.
Nade’s dream is to become a magic engineer, not a wizard.
Since he was a child, his understanding of electricity and omnipotence naturally increased thanks to his steady handling of electricity, and thanks to that, he had no problems using electric magic even after entering magic school.
“Okay, let’s do it together. Then, in all directions…”
“By the way, senior Amy, what would your personality be like if you met her in real life? Just a feminine personality?”
After Sirone gave permission, Nade put off practice and immediately brought up a topic for conversation.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
He was a friend who had a knack for bringing people together, and if there was even a small story, the students would find him unconditionally.
As if to prove it, two students from Class Five walked towards us while arguing.
“Oh really! Because that’s not it! Why the hell can’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“So I’m telling you! That’s not what’s really important! I’ve felt it for a long time, but it’s a really strange personality.”
Seeing the two of them point at each other as they approached, Sirone put on a dazed expression.
Judging by the rising voice, I wondered if they were having an in-depth discussion about magic.
“Oh! Great! Sironade, listen to me.”
The students of Class 5 called Sirone and Nade together when they were together, and as soon as they arrived, they pointed at themselves and confided.
