Summoned to Another World, but as the Final Boss [ONGOING]

(18.) Demon King captivates the Practical Lesson.

     2 Days later...

        After my meeting with Dvirt and his retelling of Merlin coming to observe our next practical lesson, juts 2 days later, the entire school got a whole day which was just practical. They said that this was due to them wanting to see our capabilities as well as our progress in terms of magic skill, due to well, learning about magic and stuff for the last 9 days or so. I could definitely see why people believed it, but come on — it should be obvious that it is just an excuse to have Merlin see what Alis can do. I mean, if this was truly a test to see our capabilities, why didn't it happen faster? And then, why is it happening around the start of the month and not the end?

Honestly, could they seriously not come up with any better excuse other than what they did? Because if so, I feel very bad for them. The school system and the higherups, I mean. I was inside my dorm room, just laying in bed and staring at the ceiling, waiting for when our class has to go to the practical test. All classes were headed to it at different times and in turns, with the oldest ones going first and then progressively making their way down to the younger classes. If they don't manage to do all the classes today, this will continue tomorrow.

How fun huh?

Felix: "Hey Anker? How do you feel about the magic practical test that will be overseen by the Grand Sorcerer?"

Felix suddenly asked me across the room, sitting on his bed — looking a little nervous. He was fidgeting quite a lot at this point and even earlier today almost smashed a window by throwing a weight ball into the air and catching it on the way down over and over again.

I get that being stressed and nervous about this whole event is completely normal for any human, but do you seriously have to do literally anything that could get your mind off of it? Even if it is throwing a fucking weight ball up into the air and almost smashing the window using it at one point? Honestly, this academys students make 0 sense.

I exhaled before nodding my head lightly in response.

"Honestly, I'm completely calm. I don't see a reason to stress about it that much."

Felix: "Don't see a reason—?! Anker! THE Grand Sorcerer will be here to oversee the whole thing! You know! The Strongest Sorcerer of Mankind Merlin!"

Yes, I very much know who Merlin is, you don't need to remind me by calling him literally every title he possess. I exhaled lightly again, before sitting up on my bed and throwing an unimpressed gaze over at Felix, before shrugging lightly.

"So what? Even the King himself could be observing this test and nothing would really change."

I then put on a bit of a calm and friendly expression across my face.

"Just try to relax. Besides, our turn won't come for a long time."

Felix: "....I guess..."

Felix was left a bit speechless after my entire statement, however managed to push out a single word combo in the end, before exhaling and falling down onto his bed, laying down and just staring at the ceiling, still visibly nervous about the whole thing. To be blunt, I was more annoyed with this whole situation — I mean, just a few years ago, Merlin was the one who attacked and tried to kill me while I was waiting for Alis to show up at our usual meeting spot.

Merlin was also the main reason why they figured out who was at the scene of the Behemoth and killed it — well.... Actually, technically Gilgamesh figured it out by finding a tree scorched by the Demonic Blade of Despairs power, however it was still Merlin who issued out the statement which said what it was and from where it could have come from. And then afterwards, he continued to snoop around the Behemoth corpse I had made for them to find and found out that it had been tampered with using magic, which one;
Is actually really impressive — but also two;
Is very, very annoying. With Merlin knowing that something is up and that the Behemoth was not slain by anyone normal, which could get me into trouble should I use the Sacred Blade of Hope and Demonic Blade of Despair together once again.
