Her match was amazing.
The cheers and shouts she got after the fight were unreal and I was really proud of my dear friend to learn something that took me weeks in a single night.
Teaching her was easy, and she already knew the basics of comprehensive Mana circulation, so it was even easier.
I just showed her how to circulate the energy and how the vision casting worked and damn... she was amazing.
She learned that stuff on that short night she got clover and now she was already so proficient that she can maintain this rain of spells for a whole ten minutes!
It was just amazing...
Even I can only continue this for thirty minutes with the same (tier-1) spells.
And if I use Solnova spells, forty to forty-five minutes.
But, I knew we won't actually have any need to use this casting method anytime soon.
It was different from my single-person short ranger arrow release that I used against the headmaster yesterday.
For her, it was definitely different.
She can cast spells like that because she was naturally that amazing.
She was close to my dad in spell processing and, with her alluring witch body, she was beyond the normal standards of 'strong' even now.
She was amazing but, she won't be increasing her ten-minute limit anytime soon.
She learned fast, but now there was nothing ahead for her.
Not until she makes a breakthrough and reaches the next core level.
And I knew that wasn't happening anytime soon.
(tier-4) are called a mage, and there is a reason for that, naturally.
Mages were the mainstream, real magicians who are mostly hired by noble houses or considered good when looking for a good magic user.
(tier-4) is like a dividing line and in magicians, some of the first Mana characteristics bloom at that stage.
It's a fundamentally difficult thing and it will take time... for her and for me, too.
The match she had with the water mage lady was good, and she controlled herself well.
She was a seriously good actor when needed and the way she convinced even this smart dwarf sir that this was her full power.
She was good, and the response she earned from the public that thought this was some boring match between a child and an adult lady... was hilarious.
Even this opponent standing before me... it was ridiculous when I saw the look in his eyes while watching this water mage lady.
I didn't know how I can tell him she was married and had a happy family and even her daughter was almost the same age as Anna... more than that; he didn't know these things?
Like… they were both examiners, right?
The lady just looked mature and curvy but, she was old and he must know that too, right?
For god's sake, dude... the armored knight beside her was her husband...
Rein and I both knew that and we had talked after her fight ended as they were repairing the arena by the time every spectator came out of their shock.
It was hilarious, and I didn't know what the hell was going on with this strange, young, strong examiner.
Maybe he was someone new among the examiners of the capital branch but, from what data I gathered with Celes, I knew the mage lady and knight in full armor were quite a famous pair.
Well, anyway... it was quite something to not actually know about anything, even after working here as an examiner for a while now.

Was this guy under some rock all this time or something?
Actually, I had nothing to do with any of that.
Rein finished her fight in three minutes and I was planning to finish this heavily underestimated battle in three seconds…
People hadn't underestimated Rein at the start of the fight at the very least, as she was a rare young mage and at least some of them hoped the fight will be something ok at the very least.
They weren't just leaning back against their seats like they were right now.
And it all started from the moment they announced that… I was an archer.
The people looked down upon those who used a weapon different from a blade, but… a bow?
An archer and his weak ass wooden stick and some weak straight arrows?
What could they even do to a [Rank-4] swordsman?
I wasn't a mage that I would surprise them by casting countless spells at the same time.
I was just some simple archer that will be shooting simple arrows from my simple bow.
Nothing much, nothing more to expect from the bottom feeders like us who did physical damage with some arrows.
I was weak in the eyes of the spectators, actually; they didn't give a shit and many of them had even started going out of the arena for some quick snack or water break from all that previous heavy fight.
Well, their memories of us will be wiped clean the moment they exit this arena so they can do whatever they wanted.
Look down upon this archer? Sure, why not?
Yawn and just wait for the match to end and the fight to finish already? Well, yes. Will be done.
They can do whatever the hack they wanted but that thing won't even be lasting for half a minute, much less three like Rein.
If they had dropped jaws and wide eyes during Rein's match...
I can assure them their eyes will just pop out of their sockets, their jaws will touch the ground, and their souls would leave their bodies just after seeing the condition of the examiner who was the same as them.
The poor, adult adventurer examiner just wanted to show off before the pretty lady watching from below the stage.
He was also looking down on me and genuinely... I haven't even been this much underestimated by the high-ranking creatures in the great forest of Kamut.
He was thinking he will just finish the fight instantly, even before I get the chance to take out the arrow and fire at him.
Well… it was good.
More than good, actually.
It was some of the best scenarios when someone actually looks down upon you.
They will not only have any guard up, and they will practically be littered with openings.
The situation was the same with this dear examiner before me...
And sorry for him… would be suffering some bad injuries after a few moments.
It was hilarious how they can think archers were the bottom feeders like it was natural... like damn people.
There were not one but two archers within the ranks of the knight kings.
There was a magic archer as an executive of the adventurer alliance, too. The western part of the empire's branch manager, to be precise.
The archers were even one of the main components of the militaries and stronger ones, like pure archers with high techniques, were even hailed above the mere swordsman.
This was my test, and the result was already decided.
As soon as this thing starts, I will take five arrows at a time, fire around thirty in the span of three seconds at the blind spots he was giving like free candies, and just walk out.

I already knew there was no way for this person who didn't even know about my imaginary attacks to block those simple wooden arrow attacks.
Not that anything I use would be 'simple' and only the old dwarf in this place had stars in his eyes while looking at both my arrows and bow.
He could see the things others can't so he knew something made by my master, even if it was just a normal wooden bow created with special high-energy materials, would naturally be amazing.
The bow was just a (level-5) artifact but the overall power it had was definitely above (level-7).
The craftsmanship was simple but the internal designs, which only an experienced craftsman could perceive, were something captivating.
His eyes were locked on this simple-looking bow... as well as my arrows.
My arrows, and not because they were similarly special and made by my master, no. That wasn't the case for them.
They were simple arrows I bought a while ago but, the enchantments I put on them were definitely something out of the common things of the current market.
I have been an enchanter for a long time, almost from the time I was just five years old.
And I still remember my first set of arrows that I had to coat with that special Mana conducting fluid.
That witchcraft-like day where the three of us stood in that sun for a long time was still clear in my mind.
But a long time had passed since then and I was far more proficient in enchantments than in those times.
I was already far above master enchanters and this dwarf grandpa could clearly tell it from the almost unperceivable enchantments.
He could see them, though barely. That was more than enough for him to tell whoever did those enchantments was also a very, very... very skilled person.
Well, after learning the rune enchantments, the next stage of rune crafting, I could do most of the common enchantments like they are low-level spells.
Now that I thought about it, this really was something more than just amazing.
'Damn... how far have I come in this novel-like life of mine...'
I remember everything and I remember the days of my childhood in that not-so-fancy house in the border town.
From that time to right now, after surviving hell, losing someone very dear to my being, returning to my family, and even finding the one I want to be with forever, my life had been quite peculiar.
It was a tough life, but I was in the capital now, and I was giving the adventurer's license exam.
This will be our identities for the time we are adventurers as well as in the academy and maybe even after that one.
Choosing the name Lucifer was my choice, and I derived it from Lucy's name, and she was happy when I came up with this name.
'Hehehe... she really was happy.'
As I can feel her, when she was happy, the happiness I felt reminded me of my dear master, and even after not having her, feeling the same special feeling as having her near me was the best thing.
But, well, I was before a normal [Rank-4] swordsman right now.
I know he is foolish and all but, he definitely is strong.
His Aura has a fire form and those fires should most definitely be blue flames.
But he wasn't allowed to use the Aura in the ranking matches unless given special permission in special circumstances.
Not that he will have any chance to even take out his sword from its sheath.
The audience was bored, and I knew no one will be recovered from the shock even after five minutes.
This good dwarf grandpa will be alright, but still amazed.
Zoe would have been amazed to see this dwarf grandpa if she were here, but, well, maybe some other time.
We will just go to the manager's office with our receptionist so there was nothing for after I finish this so...
Without wasting much precious time, I looked at the opponent who has looked down on me for some unknown reason...
He was still doing it, and... it would be even easier to finish this 'test'.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
