Chapter 108: Promotion Exam 2

"Please wait here."

"Yes. Thank you."

The training ground the rabbit-eared lady escorted me to was twice the size of the training ground in Pedrel's guild. She quickly went back after she led us here... As I thought, I guess I would need to have a mock battle or something like it since she brought us here?

"I wonder what I will have to do..."

"Hm~ ... I didn't think Ren-chan will need to do any mock battle since you're a support magician though~"

"They must've known Ren-kun has made a contract with a summoned beast so they're trying to test your abilities here."

"Well whatever it is, just don't get hurt."

Sig-san tried to pat my head as usual but I quickly avoided his touch because I didn't want him to mess my hair after Corey-san went through all of that to make my hair beautiful like this. As soon as I entered the training ground, I had been leaning against the training ground's wall and before I started a conversation with the three of them.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"I just got my hair all dolled up so..."

"If that's the case then I will pat you gently enough to not mess your hair. Don't avoid me again."

Sig-san said that while he motioned with his hand for me to come closer to him. I then leaned my head toward him and true to his words, Sig-san was being gentle with my hair. His touch was barely fluttering against my head.

I knew it. I really like having my head stroked like this. Back when I was in Japan, I didn't get patted often so perhaps I became starved for a pat because of it. Now I really like having my head patted like this.

"Oof! Here I go!"

"Ah, let me help you. Where do you want to take this to?"

"Ren-kun, you have an important exam coming right after this. Leave it to me."

"I-I can't let a prince do that for me! O-Owahhh!"

"Ooh... Amazing..."

Despite still in the middle of an exam, I still had my head patted with. I was enjoying myself when I saw the rabbit-eared lady return and opened the door vigorously. She was holding a long, folding table in her hands so I offered to help her carry it but Fer-san quickly interjected and said he'd help her instead.

She must've become flustered at our offer since she suddenly straightened her back and carried the long table with great speed. Even though she had been having trouble carrying it before.

Is this what people often refer to as 'adrenaline rush'?"

Of course she must've felt uncomfortable to have a prince help her carry it. Especially since she worked in the royal capital. The social pressure must be tremendous for her.

"Haah... Haah... Haah... I did it..."

"Umm... Thank you for your hard work. 【Heal】... Do you feel better now?"

"Huh? You're right... Thank you very much! .... But... [Heal], was it...?"

After that, the rabbit-eared lady went back and forth carrying and bringing more and more folding tables to the training ground. We offered to help her again but she quickly refused. I did try to just go straight and grab the table myself but she seemed to have already come to the conclusion that me helping her, equaled to Fer-san helping her so she immediately pulled the table away from me. After I saw her do that, I decided to just watch her do her thing in order to respect her intention.
