The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 36: Shield

༺ Shield ༻

The colorful leaves were turning dark green with the passage of time, and the warm season was just around the corner.

Due of the mildly warm weather, students had begun to take off their school uniform jackets. I was no different.

Yesterday was the performance evaluation for the Elemental Flower Craft. Although not perfect, I was able to achieve a satisfactory result. It was all thanks to Luce helping me every time I practiced.

We had decided how we would spend our time together. Even if we did decide to meet, it would be in private with just the two of us. As a justification, I reiterated that 'I stand out too much when I'm with Luce.'

She seemed to have enjoyed our friendship so much that she couldn't help but regret it. It seemed that she expected a daily routine of going to and fro school together, eating together, and hanging out together, regardless of what others thought.

What could I do? I wasn't in a position to do that.

And, as expected, rumors were already spreading that there was an unusual atmosphere between Luce and me. Well, it was already spilled water. There was nothing I could do about it now.

Sooner or later, I'll have to pretend to be as incompetent as possible so that they'll stop paying attention to me and think, 'Ah, Isaac's a hopeless bastard, and the top seat has gone off the deep end!"

If Alice Carrol ever heard about the rumor regarding me and Luce, I could only hope that she would think it wasn't a big deal and move on.

"Hey! I am going to be the test proctor for the end-of-semester evaluation for this freshman year!"

I was in a corner of the butterfly garden at noon with the sky shining brightly.

It was the weekend. Today, I planned to spend twice as much time practicing magic than I usually did. This was because I took up quite a bit of time practicing magic craft.

Even today, Dorothy Heartnova sat with her back against a nearby zelkova tree and interrupted my training with her chatter. But this time her chatter was worth listening to. It was a story that had a lot to do with the scenario.

"Aren't you a senior? Wouldn't you normally hate that kind of trouble in the first place?"

"Nyahaha, of course! But~ Because this elder sister wants to see if our president will do well in his exam~. Aren't you so honored as a fan of mine?!"

"Ah yes. It is an honor."

"That reaction is boring..."

Dorothy pouted her lips and grumbled.

Originally, being a test proctor was not a position that students could be entrusted with. However, the academy's administration has been plagued by the appearance of demons recently.

In the end, it was decided that the strongest students within the academy would be chosen as test proctors.

One of these candidates was Dorothy Hartnova. It was the same as the original scenario of ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱.

Without Dorothy, the Thunderbird Subjugation itself would be impossible. Because without her, the odds were stacked against the academy.

"I even got rid of the student council president..."

My head twitched.

Alice Carroll volunteered as a test proctor?

"The student council president?"
