22 Final Exam (6)
The practical final exam is over.
In other words, all tests that determine rankings have ended in the first semester of the first year.
My guess is that the results of the practical training would have brought quite a shock to the teachers.
The mission was originally to teach first graders ‘defeat’. However, the students actually succeeded, and my role as a ‘human sloth’ was significant in the process.
Therefore, the review took a little longer than originally scheduled. The original screening would have scored students on how they responded in the face of defeat.
But the students won. Therefore, it was necessary to redefine the screening criteria.
As a result, there were minor noises, but the planned result was certain.
“…done.”
A bulletin board where final exam scores are posted.
My name was written on the top row of the list.
The highest score for the practical application of individual evaluation was the written score.
“thank god.”
I muttered quietly. With this, the conditions that Ampere had mentioned were somehow cleared.
However, the students nearby seemed to have heard my small voice and flinched and left.
what. That’s how you reacted to what I said.
“congratulations.”
While the students were moving away from me, there was also a voice approaching.
It was Elodie. She picked up a can of drink and held it out to me.
“You like it, right? “Hot chocolate.”
“…Oh, that’s right.”
“what? “As if I just remembered it.”
Elodie smiled, probably thinking I was joking.
Right. Frontier likes hot chocolate. I have to remember this. It seems like it kind of suits a sloth.
“I kept my promise. “I will avoid excommunication.”
“I know.”
“But how could they really excommunicate their son? I gave you extreme medication to tell you to work hard. “Thanks to you, I came in first place.”
“…I know.”
I had nothing to say to Elodie’s words, so I answered dryly.
As I opened the can, I thought about what happened next.
As Elodie said, excommunication was avoided. For a while.
Malia says that Ampere wants to excommunicate me.
But Ampere is at least not a man who goes back on what he says. Especially not a man who doesn’t keep his promises. As long as I am in the top 10, there will be no excommunication.
But on the other hand, Ampere was really trying to excommunicate me. For the original Frontier, it would have been close to impossible to be in the top 10 in his grade.
“So what are you going to do from now on? “It’s vacation soon.”
Elodie said.
The final exams for the first semester are over, so it’s almost summer vacation. The period of vacation is 1 month. It’s similar to the world I was in.
During this period, Constell is a little busier than a regular school. The amount of preparations and facilities needed for the next class and training is different, and more than anything, the field needs to be set up.
…And the biggest difference from the original world.
Constel’s students hate vacation.
“well. “What about Elodie?”
When I asked, Elodie sighed.
“Well, I have to go to the Magic Tower again. “If you keep running here and there, it’s almost like vacation.”
Elodie seemed tired as she spoke.
Like Elodie, most Constel students do not rest during vacation.
While learning during the first semester, you can make up for your own weaknesses or strengthen your own style. Or, like Elodie, rolling under someone of a higher level than you.
Constel’s training intensity is not easy, but it is still done for the group. In contrast, vacations are all high-intensity private classes. It is no wonder that students find vacations to be terrible.
Elodie looked at me and opened one eye.
“I thought you would play, eat, and sleep during vacation. It will be different this time, right? “Constel is open even during school vacations, so do you plan on training in the training room like before?”
I smiled at Elodie’s words. It’s a good thing that Elodie’s opinion of me has increased.
However, that prediction was wrong. I opened my mouth for correction.
“No, I—”
I answered, and Elodie had the most surprised expression I’d ever seen.
No, it wasn’t just surprise;
it was almost anger.
* * *
The famous restaurant ‘Wild Amuse’ in the Roach family estate ‘Gerranhes’.
Ampere, Maliana, and Adjie ate there. It was to congratulate me on getting first place in the final exam.
“My mom is so happy that my son won first place. Isn’t that right, honey?”
“hmm.”
Malia was unusually fussy, even using the title ‘honey’, while Ampere was more reticent than usual.
Atjie was just eating slowly next to me.
The air was extremely heavy, wondering if this was the right place for me to be celebrated.
When Ampere didn’t respond at all, Malia’s eyes became sharp.
“Honey, you won’t say something like excommunication or anything like that again, right?”
“no.”
After saying that, Ampere looked at me.
Eyes that are almost straight towards me. Somehow I felt like Ampere was seeing me for the first time.
“Well done Frontier.”
“…thank you.”
Ampere, who was like a moving iron armor, praised me.
Even if he wasn’t my real father, there was something about those words that made me feel overwhelmed.
“I worked really hard with my weak body.”
but.
As expected, Ampere’s perception of me did not change.
“…honey.”
Ampere’s line was questionable, so Malia spoke from the side as if to stop him.
But Ampere was sincere.
“I will not make unreasonable demands anymore. If you want, consider transferring to another school. “I hated Constel so much.”
He really cared for me and said,
“Yes. In the center, unlike Constel, there is a promising school that focuses on nurturing scholars and researchers. How about transferring there? “If you have the skills to get a perfect score on the written exam, you will be able to perform well there and you won’t get hurt.”
He truly didn’t see me as a warrior.
“…Are you serious?”
Malia’s title also changed from ‘honey’ to ‘you’.
“Something that can’t be sincere. Frontier hated Constell. “You know that well.”
Malia was about to say something to Ampere, but then closed her mouth. Instead, he saw me.
Frontier hated Constell. This was a fact that even I could not deny. If I hadn’t done that, would I have just slept every day, missed practical training, and been nicknamed a human sloth?
Frontier had no talent whatsoever, either as a warrior or as a wizard. He felt that Constell was not the place for him.
Because Malia knows that, she looks at me without further objection.
Is that still the case?
Is the reason you worked so hard at Constel just so you can go back to being a ‘human sloth’?
…Now I think I understand why Ampere tried to excommunicate me.
‘This is also a kind of overprotection.’
The northern iron wall of Ampere.
If he continues to be his son, it is inevitable that Frondier, like Ajie, will also stand on the battlefield.
And in Ampere’s eyes, it seemed impossible for Frondier to survive on that battlefield.
It is better to survive even if it means abandoning the prestigious name Roach.
That must have been how Ampere felt when he looked at me.
“…I am.”
So what I am saying from now on is:
This is no different from disloyalty to Ampere.
“I have planned my vacation.”
“…?”
“Are you planning a vacation?”
Ampere’s eyes twitched and Malia asked in confusion.
It may sound strange, but neither Ampere nor Malia would think that way.
I will answer all of Ampere’s suggestions with this one word.
Additionally, it is a good opportunity to let me know what kind of determination I have.
“I’m going to the Tavern.”
The moment I said that.
To put it bluntly, it felt like a popping sound.
A sound that seems to cut through all the commotion and noise.
The inside of the restaurant actually became quiet. Everyone who was enjoying a normal chat was surprised by the silence that came without knowing the reason.
Ampere.
He only shed a little bit of energy, but no one in here made any sound.
“…Frondier.”
“yes.”
“You should have warned me at the last meeting as well. Don’t spit words carelessly. “You don’t yet know the weight of your words.”
Ampere’s voice was burning beyond boiling.
I closed my eyes for a moment.
Tavern.
It is an area under the jurisdiction of Lidwy von Urfa, a borderland in the northeast.
Ampère, who governs the northwest region of ‘Yerranhes’, lives up to its nickname ‘Iron Wall’ and has never once permitted the intrusion of monsters from outside.
Thanks to this, although the potential risk of Jeranhes is high, it has never caused actual damage.
Thanks to this, the public sentiment among the village residents is good, the commercial district is operating well, and the morale of the soldiers is also good.
So what about the northeast?
Ampere was given the nickname ‘Iron Wall’ simply because it did not allow intrusion.
The monsters outside are so hopelessly powerful that just blocking them like this gives them a nickname.
Tavern is different from Göranhes.
The monsters outside have repeatedly ravaged and trampled on human lands, and countless people have died to solve this problem.
People were replaced to block the monsters, and yet more people were replaced to deal with the invading monsters, and yet more people were replaced to drive the monsters out again.
The number of people Lidwy von Urfa sacrificed to stop the monsters is incalculable.
But no one blames Ridwi.
Because that’s natural.
It’s strange that Ampere was able to block everything, but hell like Tayburn unfolds wherever the outside monsters have to be blocked.
Tavern is the most dangerous place in hell that has ever fallen on earth. Therefore, most of the people Ridwi replaces are criminals comparable to death row inmates.
When it is decided that they will be sent to Tavern, most criminals cry out for death.
Even if it’s only during vacation, if you decide to go there on your own, you’re usually not crazy.
Now that crazy person is me.
“My thoughts remain unchanged.”
“Frondier!”
This time it was Malia.
Malia looked at me with eyes filled with both worry and anxiety. Amperna Malia will look like I am going to die now.
If someone else had said it, it would probably mean the same thing.
But I have to go to Tavern.
Tavern is a treasure trove of natural blessings for Frontier. There are quite a few weapons that are close to divine status or unique, and most of them do not function properly.
And if you go with the Roach family as a supporter rather than a criminal, you will be treated much better.
Of course, it doesn’t mean you’ll be safe, but you’re in a much better position than criminals.
‘It’s a place we’ll have to encounter someday anyway.’
The fate of humanity is to be destroyed by monsters in the distant future anyway.
In order to overcome it, I must eventually cross the border between humans and monsters. Sooner or later, that day will come.
And no matter how much I think about it, the most optimal time for that day is this summer vacation. When I and my surroundings are functioning most smoothly.
But Ampere shook his head as if there was nothing to hear.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear this. It looks like the meal is over, so right away”
“Father.”
I interrupted Ampere.
It was really scary to stop talking once, but I had to convince Ampere right now.
“I know that I was a distrustful child to my father.”
Ampere’s eyes widened. Today will probably be the day to see Ampere’s various expressions, something we will never see again.
There hasn’t been much change, so it’s not very noticeable.
“I am a child of the Roach family. You have to go to the border of the outside world. That is what I will do.”
“Frondier I said. You are a weak child. “I and your brother will take care of it.”
“I will not hide alone while everyone else is dying. Not anymore.”
“…!”
Frontier’s past life has become a huge debt to me, weighing heavily on my shoulders.
His weakness caused him to lose the family’s trust, his laziness made him a human sloth, and his evil disposition touched ‘Mangot’.
None of it was my doing, but I am now Frontier de Roach.
It made me feel really unfair that I had to pay for a crime I didn’t commit.
It was only now that I decided to accept it.
I had no choice but to accept it.
“I am”
I am Frontier de Roach.
“I have to pay for my laziness.”
Knowing the ending of this world.
A long, long struggle to twist one of them.
This is Frontier, a human sloth.
