Chapter 39: Another Genius (1)
KZVkShirone was promoted to Class 5.z1m
G0o7jcdSiena, who knew the unique study method of the Core of Knowledge, became the homeroom instructor.TzZfj
SSOmZhIt was hard for Shirone to keep up with the classes as he had jumped up two levels, but Shirone decided to stick with his old method nonetheless.V6mw
9Q8EYRHClass 5 had a test that occurred once a week and had a final exam at the end of the month that determined a students rank for that month. In the first test, Shirone placed 40th out of the 40 students.qmJp
HQ8pOHThere were a total of 11 different subjects, and his average score was only 32 points.1ZGKr
hALzHowever, it was worth noting that his score across all the different subjects ranged from 30 to about 33.DXPD
g0Qty7PThe average score for the second theory test was 34.2X17184
PuYsA two-point improvement in average might seem insignificant. However0kM5
fHH7His scores for all subjects increased simultaneously.bIv
YC5The third test was similar. However, there was one slight difference this time, as there was a steeper upward trend for he scored 36 to 39.6Lv
PnBdUIts increasing all at once.M8J
YTRwWp6Shirones will could be felt through his progress.etXkNOm
tSumIts a relief. Staying in the lower ranks for a long period of time can lead to a decrease in self-confidence.8i8MOvf
36EwSiena saw no such anxiety through his progress graph. He was just quietly walking his own path.i9euyN1
ofNTheory tests are important. It is one of the key components that helps one evaluate omniscience.qjMl
sEMxInstructors regarded a score of about 60 or higher as the minimum standard for one to start using magic.rBM
VH5dqIf he were to raise his average by 10 points per month, he can start using basic magic after three months. And if so71giN2
pJBngAIn less than half a year, he should be able to use basic magic.P5Htf
OgNOf course, since humans were not machines, their aptitudes varied depending on their dispositions.Az8V7g
fcckSXHowever, looking at the graph now, she had a strange feeling that it might be possible since it was Shirone.1pH
xqnamHow far could he raise his score without missing a single subject?urA
WXlBKDepending on the results, the level of Shirones potential could be judged.jS3BLl8
BhBmhtHis relationships are also smooth.kYplR
I0IBbThere were no students who looked down on Shirone because of his low grades.kLTRv
9RGsVfBy the time the students reached Class 5, their attention was focused towards the Advanced Class rather than rankings.cja
VRWCountries around the world did not cut corners when trying to maintain the highest level of magic hierarchy. And especially in such situations, it was important for students to specialize in their major in order to differentiate themselves from other mages.msQSgsQ
HZjmx0oTherefore, students who did not yet have any kind of special skills were envious of Shirone, a specialist in light.G6mg0j
DJ1XZI, too, think he has an affinity in the Photon field.KRX6ojC
goOgcerBut above all else, The photon field utilized omnipotence more than omniscience. This was because the limits were more so with the human brain itself rather than aptitude.LVv
c3x14If Shirone had not felt the segmentation of time through insight, he would not have been able to complete the Bridge That Could Not be Crossed.BCmQ
7twMaFor this reason, Shirones classmates could not ignore him and lowerclassmen would often greet him during integrated class.lUr
0pKjf6Ironically, one student amongst the lowerclassmen who followed Shirone the most was Mark, who returned after being punished.KQNZyLn
Zh8Please, sit here. I saved a seat for you.4IPo
EoB60Thanks.OFjtpuO
as45o4XThe leader of Class 7 took pride in the fact that he could be friendly with Shirone.fWisS
d6cOh! You were here! Any place for me?gzMOi
3jKjJMark gasped and jumped up to greet Sharelle.Gvsf
uDmxB7tHello!NoQn
XaciHxSharelle was one of the top students of Class 4, so she was an upperclassman who could not be easily approached.nYUAD
bPTmLSharelle waved her hands with no care and sat right next to Shirone.aatQ
nM1apgFOur Shirone, you look a bit frail these days. I mean, your lover did leave, so obviously.QVETW
u6nSBLmHaha! Its not like that.YypYmV
ZRFyqNiA week ago, Amy took the promotion exam and finally got promoted to the Advanced Class.79wPz3
oIgcuEAccording to Sharelle, she passed effortlessly, but anyone could tell how hard she trained for the exam.ZeJ
qUA8zvYou must be more lonely than me. You were always together with Amy.Bad4
oQaeVZ8Yeah, thats true. But its okay. Im thinking of going to the Advanced Class sometime soon.9p0HY
8Nl8sYes? The Advanced Class?IS9f
Wk3I7Sharelle was more than capable enough to get into the Advanced Class.0u0j
FuWJWThere were many talented people in Class 4, but she was a talent who stood out in terms of recovery magic.9vf01
ZnMGnMoreover, since the Advanced Class was a class that only focused on majors, recovery magic that had high performance would give her many advantages.jsNcIf
b1WAlthough Im not doing it just to follow my friend Like Amy, I was inspired after seeing you. My original dream was to go work at a public health center and live whatever, but at some point, I thought it would be a waste to end it like that.UPrhhdC
BrSmHearing that a talented person recognized by the academy wanted to work in a public health center as her dream job caused Mark to nearly burst into tears.yyVF
8jV71SIIf you say something like that, then what does that make me, senior?4eQM5B
p2tpSTHoohoo, dont worry too much. I didnt come all the way up here knowing there was something I was particularly good at. Anyone can make it to Class 4 if they work hard enough. Shirone is just a special case.Dbbb
ctIjShirone hurriedly shook his hands.IA6xU
KOwJmLt* * *PZKsIs2
TyHR* * *oMkSZ3a
0b3mSNo, I was pretty lucky too. The promotion exam last time was also something that was out of the ordinary.owzc2
F1TW3I told you, theres no need to talk like that. I assure you, you will be going up to the Advanced class sooner or later. Although Amy is saying that she will never let you be her classmate. Hoho, try your best anyways.DrPLc
tm5D2Huh. Never be her classmate.S5TN
8ZXWjThat was something Amy would say. And as Shirone imagined her grinding her teeth while training hard, he felt his blood heat up.7DSjDy
eFjpRight. Come to think of it, did Amy decide on her major?VSe3gC
7kmBGoWhat? You mean you still dont know? Ive had this thought for a while, but you guys really date mundanely.4viAQZo
bKnXFWe were always like this.N1Kn
RlKShirone smiled and swallowed quickly. Sharelle rested her chin and fell in thought.gW6d
QfnHmm, Amys specialty is fire magic, and she specializes in the Target Form of the Four Way Formation. From what I heard before, it sounded like she was probably aiming to be a sniper.AONeqQD
ND5Most fire mages aimed to become battle mages, so sniper was a fairly unique field for it.WLYet
Vhm1Sniper? Does that mean she wants to join the army?KVQHRA
NxfvPPReading Shirones thought, Sharelle smiled bitterly.l9NB
AQydEShe cant. I also think its weird for Amy to become a soldier, but its normal to choose a career based on talent. Besides, Amy is a Karmis, a 1st-class family. She will have to do anything for the honor of the family.G2MjQ2w
QLoUFShirone was worried.lqd7SY
wAEBut its dangerous work. After all, if a war begins Well, Im sure you already know.QoVi7
FdGBngAThat can happen, but honestly, if a war really breaks out, majors mean nothing. Anyone with a mage job will be made to fight. No exceptions. The magic academy will also become a training center to train prospective mages according to the kingdoms order. From then on, such a thing as graduation will not exist. After receiving basic military training, they must be put into service.QcLQj
xAjEKmIt was the bitter truth that was hard to take in.vKfuW
qMW0kctTo put it simply, we are just tools for the kingdom. After all, the more talented and stronger a person is, the stronger the deterrent.jPHLgbU
6H9s4JiEven so2S9nZN
fnIRGsfThormia was a kingdom of great power in its own way, but peace could not be maintained at all times. So being in the military was not the safest profession.aQlv
zrdGF4mThis is because if a kingdom they were allied with asked for support, Amy would have no choice but to fight on the frontlines.icsI7k
RJxsMark did not take it seriously and took interest in something else.afV9
dGhaAmy becoming an officer in the army Im sure shed be incredibly popular in her unit. To be honest, I cant imagine her as a soldier.44MzjV
n7XylSrHohoho! Its because you dont know Amys personality. I personally think she fits well as one. And Shirone, dont worry too much. After all, its not like mages will sword fight on the battlefield. Snipers tend to focus on espionage and covert operations. Amy the Beauty Spy. Great name dont you think?HhXMI
mannDgHaha, I guess so.EPqAoOP
2FXyffShirone put aside his petty worries.t7q3
upD34It was true that he was worried, but it was a choice made by a talent who never lost her first place, so he was sure she could handle it.Um5I
ALhAfter the integrated class ended, it was time for practice, so students categorized themselves by Class.YN3IWj
9V2iShirone waved goodbye to Sharelle and Mark then made his way towards his own classmates.BCq
UkBZUAs many were the same age as him, there was a very lively and fun atmosphere.VMHllDl
HxsXIvKWow, Shirone. Youre blazing hot today as well.ljbc
wX0Nade started off.5Isk
t1TfPXHe was the same age as Shirone, and He had green hair which made him look like a troublemaker.cCD
beLkVaiHe had a cheerful personality and was a very sociable person, so there was nobody he wasnt close to. Nade was also the first person to talk to him.QExmteo
IDHa9He has a good personality.jJwy5
W6GjCKHis grades were somewhere in the upper-middle ranks, having no particular subject he was neither good nor bad at.UyPiNl
FnGAFIRWell, if Shirone had to pick a subject he was a little better at than others, he would say it was electric magic. This was because Nade was at a level where he could somewhat cast electric magic. And considering an affinity with electricity was quite rare, he could be considered a rare talent.TxLU
ejCmCThere was no easy magic in the world, but the electric field was a particularly difficult one to acquire omnipotence.XVJt
LrlVClIts not an attribute humans are familiar with.Vo3
MrPAfter hearing his story, he understood why Nade had an affinity for it.O7A
CJXUCNades dream was to become an inventor of magical weapons, and thanks to his constant handling of machines and electricity since childhood, he found it easy to acquire omnipotence in electricity.Ot2p0RI
gZbNBlazing hot? As if. Its so hard its killing me!HO2oP
PLnHaha! Thats why Im here. Twos better than one.8cEN7C
xpCEverything put aside, he was a friend who had a talent for making people comfortable.EPqW
GUIThat was probably why Shirones classmates would go to Nade first whenever there was a topic to talk about, even if it was something trivial.XFtgDKs
gJmkMeanwhile, two boys started walking towards where they were, arguing to and fro.D54l
osPe7Hey, hey! Shironade, hear this.M28vyO5
QPHwYMShirone and Nade canceled their Spirit Zone after hearing the neologism of their two names.N1lwp
bbQarSA classmate came close and questioned.yrtGR0
t6UYWhich side are you, Ms. Olifer or Ms. Romie? Oh, maybe Shirone doesnt care since he has a girlfriend? What about you, Nade?U05OWM
MQ0Hmm, Im, of course, Ms. Romie. Though Ms. Olifer is beautiful as well.PT7
24rOhh, my comrade! Ms. Romie is the best, Im telling you. She has a baby face! And her body Ugh!KIQl
5INShirone realized again.3vIEg0
SXrLIts really different from Class 7.tBKtG
l9FYVfI think they are both pretty.gpYA
I0QzG6ySiena had a calm and cool aura, while Ethellas looks triggered everyones protective instinct.WK9mLHg
u5z9cPerhaps it was because of her curves, but even after growing, she had a baby face.O6xBmG
kg6iJQAs Shirone started to worry about getting asked that question, his classmates suddenly left.KqsVCMx
39vEh?8EQ
F52Shirone thought it was strange and turned around to see a boy with an eccentric look heading towards him.W1bgxo
IFvCNIt was the Class 5 geek, Yiruki Mercodine.DBaV
w86NQBBIt could be seen as bullying, but in Shirones opinion, Yiruki really didnt seem like a people person.hxpOlaP
bGFBut even such an oddball had someone he talked to, and that was Nade, the friend of all.yLGCvY
y6hWhat fun things were you guys talking about?lxcoVxD
s2Ro2XNade shrugged.RdwL
ZQx5dzJust the same old thing. Whos prettier, Ms. Olifer or Ms. Romie? Things like that.Fl2aSL
fo14sOzAll gone was his excited demeanor, for he purposely looked less excited in consideration of Yiruki.Z7Giy8k
86yf2rShirone admired his quick, mindful personality.hinFsf
Xs5uRSomething suddenly came to Nades mind.dVkih
00i6NlPOh right, Shirone. Let me introduce you. This guy here is Yiruki. An outsider of Class 5.3qWbqF
