Chapter 113: Promotion Exam 7

"What do you mean by 'wonderful'?! Why did you try to kill him just for the sake of testing me?! If... If my skill was lacking, he'd already be...."

The tremble I had experienced before had subsided and so I briskly stood up and lashed out at Claudios-san.

He's towering over me because of my short height! How frustrating!

"Ah.... He's not going to die though? I already told you about it beforehand to avoid misunderstanding, didn't I? I said 'a normal guy', didn't I?"

"By 'normal' you meant..."

Completely not baffled in the slightest at my outburst, Claudios-san calmly explained.

Huh? Not going to die? A normal guy? What does he mean?

"Fufu~ What a nice face you got there. Come on Lizzani, say your greeting to him."

"Huh?"

Claudios-san was smiling from ear to ear, he looked like he was enjoying this situation so much. Then he turned his attention toward the man who was still laying on the ground.

No, no... He was literally dying a little while ago. You shouldn't disturb him yet....

"Haah... I'm sorry for tricking you."

"Huh? What?"

He was able to speak normally, even though I had thought he wouldn't be able to give me any response. Contrary to my expectations, he stood up abruptly and then he bowed to me with an apologetic look on his face.

"My name is Lizzani.... I'm this guy's summoned beast."

「「「「What?!」」」」

He was able to introduce himself but.... What?! He pointed at Claudios-san with his thumb when he said 'this guy' but what? He's Claudios-san's summoned beast?! But no matter how I look at him, he looks like a human being and I can converse with him normally?!

Chris-san and the others were as surprised as me too.

"Pfft.... Bu-hahahahahaha! The other three's faces also look amusing... Fufu... You know, for a demonic beast... After living for about 3000 years, they can transform into humans and talk with humans... Well... As far as I know, Lizzani is the only summoned beast who can do this and there's only a few people who know about him so it's not surprising if you guys don't know about it."

What?! Is that so?! Wait, does that mean Lizzani-san has already been living for more than 3000 years ?!

"And so, because I'm a summoned beast, I won't die over injuries like that. I can recover as long as I receive magic power, although it might take some time for me to get healed completely. But since you handled it properly, there's no need for me to take any magic power.... I must've surprised you,huh? Really. This guy really has a wicked personality..."

Lizzani-san explained.

"Indeed. His personality is indeed wicked. I didn't expect he'd pull the same trick as he did to me years ago."

Ah, but I'm glad... He looked like he was dying a moment ago but now he looks completely fine. Ah! Maybe the people here, except for the four of us, they all know Lizzani-san is a summoned beast?! That's why they didn't look panicked at all! It's all because they know Claudios-san purposely planned all of these for the test...! But for Lizzani-san himself to say Claudios-san has a wicked personality... What a harsh thing to say to his own contractor...
