Mushoku no Eiyuu ~Betsu ni Skill Nanka Iranakattan daga~

First of all, they say there is a written test.

It seems to be the same regardless of the department, and it's mainly about general knowledge.

I haven't studied for it, but will it be OK?

I'd rather worry about Leila than myself.

She's not a very smart girl....

That was easier than I thought it would be.

I exhale after the written exam.

Compared to the exam in my previous life, it was all basic and easy to solve.

Even if it wasn't a perfect score, I think I got a decent score.

'How was Leila?'

I'm fine!　I buried it all right!

"That's what bad people say...

You don't get a point for just filling in the blanks, do you?

Well, as long as you make up for it in the next practical exam, you'll be fine.

Since the content of the practical test is different for each department, I parted ways with Leila there for a while.

I'm heading to the martial arts course.

I've been told that the chances of getting into the martial arts department are about three times greater.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

You know, the guy from earlier.

Pfft, there's no way an "unemployed" could get into the martial arts department.

There were people who pointed at me and laughed at me, perhaps they were the ones who were there at the time of the appraisal.

It's best to ignore them.

When all the candidates had gathered, the teacher explained the content of the test.

You will take a practical test, in which you will defeat a demon. In this test, you will go to a predetermined hunting ground, where you will be evaluated on the number and quality of monsters you defeat within the time limit. For your safety and to keep a record of your achievements, you will be accompanied by one student per student.

Then an examiner arrived at my place.

She was an older sister of about 17 or 18.

"Are you Mr. Ark?

Yes, I do.

"I'm Melena, I'm in charge of the exam, I'm a third year martial arts student. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

So is it true that you are unemployed?

I nodded.

'Well umm, it's very hard to say, but...'

Melena-san said with an apologetic look on her face.

''With you as an 《unemployed》, even dealing with goblins is dangerous. Besides, even if you were able to defeat them by any chance, it's impossible for you to pass. I won't say anything bad about you, so I think it would be better to decline.''

No, I'm not going to turn it down.

I answer immediately.

'Well it says you're from a town called Fainot, which is probably pretty far away, right?　I know you came all the way to take the exam and you can't bring yourself to decline. But, you know, you only have one life, right?

It wasn't like he was making fun of me, he simply seemed to be worried about me.

'Thank you. But you don't need to worry about me.

"...if you're going to go that far...

Merena-san felt that my intentions were firm, and she let out a sigh but nodded at the end.

There were three designated hunting grounds, apparently assigned in advance so that the candidates wouldn't be concentrated in them.

The one I headed to with Melena-san was a forest in the west of the city.

It seems to be mainly inhabited by goblins, so it's a beginner-friendly hunting ground.

The examinations have already begun, and the candidates are rushing into the forest ahead of me.

I have to hurry too.

The trees in the shallow part of the forest are sparse and the outlook is not bad.

However, the number of goblins seemed to be small.

Moreover, a large number of examiners are searching for goblins at once, so they are fighting over them.

There are several signs of goblins, but all of them seem to have signs of people nearby and are already being targeted.

As expected, I don't want to intercept them.

The way things are going, it looks like we need to go deeper.

''It's best not to go too deep. There's a goblin's nest, too - from the side where I said it!　Wait a minute!

I could feel Melena yelling something from behind me, but I couldn't take it too long.

I walked deeper and deeper into the forest.

''Ha, fast........?　I can't believe we're going through the woods so easily...

In the meantime, it's not a good idea to pull Melena-san away, so I set a pace that allows her to follow me properly.

She's a current student in the martial arts department, so she can afford to do this, right?

Yeah, but wait...

I found it.

I sensed a sign of a goblin and changed my direction to the right.

Beyond the grass, there was indeed a goblin.

''Gugeh?''

He was surprised to notice me.

I unleash a thrust, piercing its heart.

The goblin falls to the spot without screaming.

''Zeez, zeez....ya, I finally caught up with it................what is this?

Melena is surprised to see the fallen goblin.

'I took them down. That's one at last.

Yeah, yeah ... this ... this ... this ... this ... this ... stab to the heart ...?　I've never seen such a beautiful..........

We'll go next.

Oh...wait...wait...what?

I looked for the next goblin and continued on deeper into the forest.

I took out two, three, four, and so on.

Eventually, when I had killed the fifteenth one, I stopped.

Merena-san, who was breathing hard a little later, caught up with me.

''Zeehaha.......How is it that you can find the goblins so easily.......?

"...?　You can tell by the signs, can't you?

There's a hint of...?

Look at that. There's probably a goblin den over there.

.........

I stopped for a moment because I found a cave that looked like a goblin's nest.

I can feel countless goblins moving inside.

''Are you in danger?　I'm going to turn around right now.

'What?　Why?　Of course you'll be there?　It's a great opportunity for me.

What?　Oh, wait a minute...?　I'm already well within the passing range........!

I thought Melena shouted something to me, but I jumped into the goblin's lair, hoping to pass the exam.
