The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 71-72: Hunting Evaluation Interlude (1-2)

"So, when will you start dating the top seat?"

Inside the ship back to the academy, Lisetta and I sat across from each other, with a table between us. We were the only two in the room.

By the way, Ian and Kaya were resting in their respective cabins, each serving as their own private hospital room.

Just like in ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱, the Truth Investigation Committee had hastily assembled on the ship.

If there was any indication that the situation had yet to end, it was necessary to respond as quickly as possible.

Afterward, accommodations were given to the people involved in the incident to allow them to rest their minds and bodies as much as possible.

Lisetta and I were interrogated first.

Ian and Kaya would be called in after they were awake and well-rested. By then, we would have already arrived at the academy.

They would call us in again if there were any discrepancies between my statement and Lisetta's.

However, there shouldn't be any discrepancies. We had already prepared our statements in advance, and she matched my words well.

As for how we aligned our stories.

I stumbled upon Lisetta and followed her to the central region, where I could earn a lot of evaluation points.

This was the truth. At this point, my location was being tracked by the bracelet, so I couldn't afford to lie.

After seeing Lisetta enter the volcanic cave, I followed her shortly after. However, I ended up running into her and then an earthquake occurred.

This was where the bullshit began. After the exam bracelet had lost its location-tracking function from the underground giant's mana neutralization ability.

The earthquake had collapsed and blocked the way back, so Lisetta and I started looking for another way out. That was when I fell into a sinkhole.She jumped in to save me, but since we couldn't go back the way we came, we were forced to explore the insides of the giant demon's body to find another exit.We came across the unconscious Ian and Kaya on the way, and had our familiars carry them along.Suddenly, the Black Monster appeared. Acting as if a Deus Ex Machina, it slaughtered all the demons.We made a skillful getaway.

The end.

The Truth Investigation Committee's official list of members included the student council president, Alice Carroll. Hence, it would be better to avoid having our statements investigated after arriving at the academy.

By the way, Lisetta, you bastard, you're talking nonsense.

She was slouching in her chair. Exhausted, she seemed to be spouting off whatever came to mind.

"It's not what you think."

"Oh, were you already dating? You're doing great, asshole."

"..."

Luce was currently traveling on a different ship.

When I ran away from the dock, Luce showed signs of summoning Galia, so I immediately made a U-turn. I didn't expect her to summon an 8-star familiar just to chase me.

I made a stupid excuse like, "I thought I left the exam bracelet somewhere else, but it was on my wrist, haha."

Then she awkwardly giggled and said, "Of course it is." When I read her psychology, she thought I was trying to make her laugh by cracking a joke.
