57-Episode 23: What If You Were More Pleased?
It was my turn to take the test, with Lois hanging in the background after being confronted with a failing grade.
I move to the next lane.
"BMOOOH!
Behind the bars, there was still a minotaur on the other side of the bars.
He had already seen many tackles on the bars, and it could be seen that he was quite excited.
''Hm? Isn't that different from the Minotaur I mentioned earlier?
Of course there's another one.
I know that.
The common minotaur has a brown coat, but that one is mostly black.
But there are cases where the same species is a different color.
Maybe that's just one example of that... but that one obviously has a different muscle quality and pressure.
'Ha, ha! How pathetic of you to say that and try to keep the line of failure open! You must be rejected for that to happen! Yes! There's no doubt about it!
Don't expect others to fail just because you've been rejected.
The bars opened and a minotaur flew out.
Its speed is much faster than before.
It's going to get here at about half the speed.
''What is this...?''
Bacchus also felt uncomfortable.
'Firelance x 2.'
I fired two spears of fire.
They fly toward the minotaur's lower half of its body.
I don't expect to be able to defeat that minotaur with a fire lance.
My aim is its legs.
As long as you can block its legs, you'll be able to block its signature rush.
''That's not fair! I can't believe you're using that kind of trick...!
No, Lois. In fact, that was the right thing to do. The opponent is a demon. You don't necessarily have to fight it head-on, but you have to find a way to defeat it more reliably and safely. What we need is to find a more reliable and safer way to defeat it.
.........
Well, it didn't matter if it was the way Lois tried to do it, or the way she struck a powerful blow.
'Bumoo!'
Hmm?
The minotaur jumped up and evaded the spear of fire.
''Wha........ducked.......? There's no way an ordinary minotaur could do that...
Bacchus gasped.
'Don't tell me it's a higher species? d*mn, what the hell is that thing mixed up in there...? Arrell! The test is canceled! I'll be right up--
No problem.
'Bumo-ooh-ooh!'
Both spears of fire struck both of the minotaur's legs.
''Huh? What does that mean...? It should have been avoided....
I was just setting up my surgery to auto-trace it.
After being dodged, they made a U-turn and ran after it.
It seems that even the higher-ranked Minotaur couldn't avoid the spear that came from behind, as expected.
''Bumooch...!
The part I was aiming for was the joints.
The minotaur's thick muscles protected its entire body like armor, but as expected, it hadn't even reached its joints.
Moreover, since they are vital organs, if they were damaged, they would not be able to stand up.
Even so, the minotaur tried to approach us with its front legs, but
"Irrationality.
At that speed, it's no longer the same as a motionless target.
He was engulfed in flames, and a decapitated yell roared out.
''I'm sorry, too! I think I accidentally brought the Black Minotaur that I'm using for second grade training...!
''It's probably a demon that some of the highest-achieving students in the Second Grade handle! If the other party was a normal student, there would have been a major accident...!
It seems to be a high ranking species.
I even ducked a spear once, and it looked like I could at least jump over a pitfall.
''Hi........''
Lois's cheeks are twitching and her lower body is squirming.
If she hadn't run for office and the order was reversed from mine.........................
That black minotaur was now charred black.
Minotaur meat is sometimes procured and eaten locally by adventurers who take on dungeons, but it looks like this won't even allow them to try to taste it.
''Aleru's practical test score was a hundred points. With a total of two hundred points, I passed, of course.
Apparently, he passed the exam successfully.
Shouldn't you be a little happier?
Bacchus says with a dumbfounded look on his face.
''Anyway, you are now a clear second grade. Due to various formalities, it will take a little while before you are officially promoted, but from tomorrow you won't have to take my classes. .........although I hardly took any of them to begin with.
'I heard you're going to be working in a lab somewhere?
Yeah. There are currently twenty-one laboratories, both large and small, but there are some that accept students and some that don't, so you can ask the office for information about them. However, there are some laboratories that accept students and others that don't, so you can ask the office for more information about that area. If you wish, you can visit them.
I see.
'One of the characteristics of the Red Academy is that there are many laboratories of the combat type. Eighty percent of them are of this type, studying and learning practical combat methods and tactics using red magic, and many graduates are assigned to knights or become adventurers. The remaining 20% are theory-centered and are often holed up in laboratories. By the way, I have a lab too, but I'm the latter. I'm mainly doing research on magical characters. ........although to be honest, it's not very popular.
Hmm.
Let's try to visit various laboratories.
