Chapter 8: Magic power measurement

"The practical exam is complete. Arnos Voldigod has passed. Please move on to the mirror room." The owl's voice calls down from the sky.

After confirming that the barrier has gone I retrace my steps to the entrance where I came in.

"Aaaaaah....waiiiiiiit........it hurts......it hurts.....it hurts.......kill....kill......"

"Oops. I forgot about you."

I turn around and return to zombie Zepes. He's pretty pitiable.

I use resurrection <Ingaru> to undo his zombie state and bring Liorg back as well.

"Good grief. You actually killed each other. You became a zombie and lost all reason. You're a troublesome pair."

Liorg and Zepes watch me like they want to say something but nothing comes out. I guess they don't have a valid argument.

"See you. Come again when you get stronger. I'll play with you anytime."

With that, I walk out of the arena.

".....Never again.........monster......."

A voice reached my ears from behind.

As the owl instructed I move to the mirror room.

It's a room with a great number of full-length large mirrors installed in it.

There's already a number of mazoku in there. About a 100 I'd say. Presumably, all people who have passed the practical exam.

Aah, there's a familiar face.

"Yo Misha."

The girl turns around with her long platinum blonde hair shaking gently.

"Although you said you were not good at fighting you seem to have broken through the practical test."

".....By chance......"

So Misha says but it would be impossible to beat 5 people by chance. Unexpectedly, she might be more powerful than Zepes and Liorg.

"By the way, what's happening now?"

I've got the vague feeling that this was explained but I wasn't interested so I didn't listen.

"If you pass the practical exam you are admitted. All that's left is magic power measurement and an aptitude test."

"Then all these people are our classmates?"

I look around but everyone's state is odd. Nobody will make eye contact with me.

The moment I meet their eyes they look away as if frightened.

"What's this? Why is everyone so shy?"

".......I don't think that's it.........."

"But nobody will look at me."

"They are frightened by your magic Arnos."

"What do you mean?"

"Decaying Death <Iglum>"

I see.

"If you know that were you in the audience seats Misha?"

With her usual expressionless look, Misha shook her head from side to side.

"Successful applicants can watch the exams of other applicants."

Misha points to a large mirror in front of us.
