“Are you ready? Did you forget anything?”

“I’m fine.

“Are you nervous?”

“You worry too much.”

After study hell under Sophie’s surveillance, today is the day we leave home for the royal capital. The results will come out a week after the exam ends, so it will be a long time before we come back home.

“We’re off then.

“We’re off.”

“””Good luck”””

The school lasts for four years. As a result, Andrei, who has already graduated, has returned home and is studying under father to succeed the Margrave title. And today we’re going to the royal capital without father and mother. When It was my brothers, my dad followed them, but since there’re two of us, my dad won’t follow this time.

“Thanks.”

With that said, we got into the carriage.

“Let’s get started”

“What?”

Sophie said that suddenly, but I didn’t know what she was talking about.

“Of course, your studying?”

“eh…?”

“When you turn twelve, you’re supposed to study hard for your exams, right?”

“Yes…”

“Then let’s do our best.”

“Okay…”

And another week of study hell has begun.

“We’ve arrived……”

Then we arrived at the royal capital. The exam is in 2 days. Until then, I was made to study again.

“Zero ni-san?”

“Hmm?”

“Why don’t we compete for the highest score?”

“No thanks, I can’t win”

This conversation took place in the carriage now heading to school for the exam. I can’t beat her in the written test when she’s the one who taught me.

“I’m not good with the weapons test either right?”

“Well, that’s right.”

Sophie’s weapon is a mace that can be held in one hand. She’s not bad at it, but she’s far better at magic.

“So you’re running away?”

“Alright! I’ll do it!”

“So what do we do for a punishment game?”

“Shouldn’t the loser do whatever the winner says?”

“Anything. I understand.”

While we were talking about that, we arrived at the academy. The examination venue is divided into nobles and commoners. Even though they’re called commoners, most of them are wealthy, therefore, most of their families are successful merchants. It seems the purpose of sending the child to this school is to form connections with nobles or to marry one if possible. It seems that there’s an examination fee exemption test for commoners who are excellent, but I don’t know the details.

“Then I’m off.” (Zeros)

“See you later”

My exam room was different from Sophie’s, so we separated here.

“…long time no see”

“It’s been a long time. Shana-sama.”

“Mu …”

Shana was in the same room. However, I couldn’t speak in a familiar way because of the eyes around us, but when I spoke in honorifics, Shana was in a bad mood.

“What if I hugged you here saying” I missed you… “in a loud voice? “

“I’m sorry, Shana …please forgive me”

“Hmm”

It would be bad if that happened. Especially if it gets into Sophie’s ears … I apologized in a whisper so that it wouldn’t happen.

“Good luck…”

“You too”

“Hmm…”

We had a little conversation then I sat down at my designated seat.

“Now the exam time is 180 minutes! Please submit when you’re done and go to the next exam site. Of course, you’ll be disqualified if you cheat and not allowed to take the exam next year or later. Then start!”

For the time being, this school has a failure rate of more than half, so a lot of people fail. Of course, some people will take the exam next year. And it seems that there are schools in this country other than the royal capital, so some people go there.

(Huh? Huh?)

As I solved the problems, my answers gradually increased.

(Isn’t this too easy?)

It’s too easy. There’s almost no part of what Sophie taught me. Sophie taught me advanced applications. However, the only questions on this test are problems such as the basics and sometimes basic applications.

(I already finished…)

I only took 30 minutes … Will I stand out if I’m too early? but I thought Sophie probably finished earlier, so I decided to submit my work and go to the next exam.

“‘We still have the practical exam, okay? Don’t give up even if you can’t do the written exam, okay?

“Uh, yes.”

The examiner was worried about me.

I’ve reviewed it at least three times, so I think I’ll be fine.
