But, the real problem is after that, it is about the holy power(magic power) measurement.
Right now, while groaning, I"m reading what is written on the A4 sized paper.
Different with the forbidden spell, this one, I can"t read it.
These letters seem to be called EDIA character.
Which it resembles the so-called rune characters.
As standard, usually, one write this EDIA character and then pour their holy power(magic power) into it and activate the spell.
And there is also a technique where one gather one holy power(magic power) to one fingertip and draw the characters on the s.p.a.ce to activate the spell.
For example, in Makina-san case, she engraved the spell in her tongue and when she want to activate the spell, she has to send magic power there.
In this paper, there are 20 characters.
If I have to put it simply about this measurement, that is I have to pour my magic power into this paper, and then see how many characters among the 20 characters that shine.
By doing this, the person who pours their magic into it will be able to understand their own magic power level.
I was told, a new student who wish to pa.s.s the entrance exam, they had to pa.s.s the test which determines whether or not they are able to use magic power or not... but, I guess, this one is the more detailed version of it huh.
"....................."
But the problem is, right now, I can"t even make one character to shine.
When I look at my surrounding, everyone able to make at least two characters to shine.
Inside the cla.s.sroom, a pale light appear one by one.
When I take a look at Cecil-san, she"s able to light all 20 characters, and then puff, the paper were burned out.
Aira-san and Kyurie-san are also the same, just like Cecil-san, their paper was burned out.
Though it is not to the point of the paper getting burned out, Maro, Zix-san, and Hirgiz-san, had caused the surrounding people to show admiration toward them.
On the other hand... the characters on my paper didn"t emit light at all...
If I remember correctly the instructor who is in charge of magic lesson said... sense the magic power in the surrounding, and try to imagine gathering the magic power at the place you wish...
Gatherー... gatherー... magic powerー... gatherー
Fuuuh !
"........................"
F-Failed huh...
As expected, not even one character shine.
Rather, in the first place, I"m not even able to sense magic power...
Ah, I remember Cecil-san protected me at the time of the mock battle.
『In the first place, The most important thing being new student in this academy is whether you"re able to use magic power or not.』
Uwaaー, isn"t this unexpectedly kinda bad ?
Furthermore, even though Cecil-san is going all the way to help me, if I by any chance turn out that I can"t use magic power thenー.
"Are ? Arereee ? Areeeee !?"
(TLN : Idk how to translate this into engrish.)
... it seems like, the person who found out about it first is the person who I don"t want the most.
When I noticed, Maro is peering at my measurement paper from my back.
When the entire cla.s.sroom heard his voice, they direct their line of sight to this place.
"What ? Eh ? This is, what does it mean ? it can"t be, you can"t even make a single character shine !? eh ? why ? how ? isn"t being a sacred tree cadets need to be at least able to use magic power ? right ? isn"t that right, Cecil-sama ?!"
Maro asked with a forceful tone of voice.
Cecil-san seems to immediately understand what is it all about, but unable to say anything in return.
Cecil-san too, she seems didn"t expect that I"m not able to use magic power.
... well, I guess it"s understandable.
After all to enter this academy, you must be able to use magic power.
It"s not normal to be unable to use it huh...
Aah, what should I do now...
It can"t be, am I going to have to quit attending the academy after this... ?
"Oi, why ? why someone like you is being accepted into this academy !? I really don"t understand see !? do you use some connection !? though, it doesn"t seem to be the case huh ! after all, you have such a face belong to the poor people ! no, you"re real must be one ! oi ! why are you here !?"
Maro verbal attacks are becoming more and more violent.
d.a.m.n it, I guess this is it huh...
Should I knock him out, and then quitting the academy――
When I think of such a thing.
"Regarding that, I will be the one explaining it"
There, taking along instructors who display stern face, St.Lunezret academy has come――
"So... what should I do ?"
We"re currently outside of the magic cla.s.sroom.
On the western side of the building, there is a sliding door, beyond this door is an outdoor place, a place similar to a huge basketball court site.
It has a pretty flat ground, is this a concrete, I wonder ? it doesn"t seem to be, I guess most likely this is a stone being cut flat huh.
And on that ground, there are some instructors wearing robes, holding a book and a black chalk, frantically drawing magic equation on the ground.
I wonder what is that ?
It"s looks like a magic formation though...
When I take a glance, the people who stand in the front of sliding door are the students from lion cla.s.s, the instructors, and a self-important looking uncle.
And from there a little bit separated, I stand together with Makina-san.
While looking at the instructors who draw magic equation on the ground, Makina-san said.
"After this, we will summon a demon individually from the sacred ruins"
"Eh ?"
"That demon―― defeat it with your forbidden spell."
"Eeh !?"
The students and the self-important looking uncle turned their sight toward me who raised his voice.
I try to calm myself down...
"What do you mean by that ? in the first place, the one who said I should not use and hide the forbidden spell isn"t it you, Makina-san ?"
"The circ.u.mstance has changed a little."
"The circ.u.mstance has changed ?"
"Indeed..."
Then, Makina-san sends a glance toward that self-important uncle.
I also looking at him.
And then I said to Makina-san...
"That uncle, who is he ?"
"To put it bluntly, the person is an official of this academy, within this academy, there are people who have a certain degree of power."
Like a vice-princ.i.p.al ?
or perhaps, similar to the board of directors...?
"They suspect me that I"ve forced a student who has not pa.s.sed the examination to enter the academyー in other words, it is regarding you, after that they ask confirmation regarding various matter... and it"s turned into a troublesome thing."
"T-Troublesome you say..."
"Seriously those people, I got fed up with their stubborn att.i.tude... well that"s how it is, I intend to publicize that you"re a forbidden spell user."
"Eh ??"
"On this occasion, I"ll just say it clearly. At first, I was going to make you my own 『Trump Card』 for my own goal, but then, because it sounds too much of a trouble, I think the opposite way by 『in my hand, I have a forbidden spell user』 and spread it as a fact, and decide to use you."
"I-I see..."
"How is it ? are you feel angry for being used ?"
"No, I don"t mind being used but... is it really okay ? for me to use it in front of so many people."
"Yes, it is fine"
*Fuun* Makina-san snorted while feeling vexed.
"Because deceiving someone is too much of troublesome"
... if you said troublesome, aren"t you the one who have a troublesome personality ?
"Besides, unexpectedly instructors Joseph and the other instructors are worried about you."
"Instructor Joseph and the other ?"
"I"ve heard it you know, in today mock battles, you"ve been put into a special case is it not ?"
"Though I"m ashamed, indeed that"s true..."
"Well anyhow, instructor Joseph, and for some reason two other male instructors who always together were 『I got a lot of good students but, because he"s being left out of the cla.s.s, I"m worried if he will be able to get along with the other students』 is what they say. after that, I thought, thinking about the future, for you to appeal to the people as a forbidden spell user might actually profitable in a various way."
"Instructor Joseph and those guys..."
Two instructors that always being together is probably those ikemen instructors.
Uuh... such warm adults.
"And thenー"
Makina-san then glanced toward Maro.
"Having to hide your own original power, aren"t you feel frustrated ?"
"... Did you heard it ?"
"When I was about to enter the cla.s.sroom, a little bit..."
I look at Makina-san who calmly hold her hair which is being swayed gently by the wind
"Aah and also, regarding the explanation that forbidden spell is a 『unusual spell』 , you don"t have to worry about it anymore, if you can"t use any magic power at all then ーthough I didn"t expect you to be unable to use it at all eitherー it will be okay with the excuse that it"s means you"re not ordinary spell user. and that"s why they better know that 『forbidden spell user』 is a special case."
"Is that soー"
Somewhere is her eyes there"s a slight contempt in it, and Makina-san looked toward that uncle again.
"And well, rather than explained it with words, letting them seeing it will be much faster... at any rate, they will have no other choice than to believe it, when they see the forbidden spell in use. moreover, this time, I"ve also prepared the best opponent for you to display that strength. that is whyーー you can show it off..."
"I-Is it really okay... ?"
"If you were to fail, I"ll be the one to clean it up. you don"t have to worry about it."
I glanced toward the instructors who is still drawing on the ground.
Alright...
"... I understand. I"ll do it "
"Headmistress, everything is ready."
It seems like the summoning magic art preparation have been completed.
"I appreciate your hard work. well then shall we begin the summoning ?"
After she said that, Makina-san stepped out toward the magic squareー or should I say it magic formationーー
And then one magic instructor asked Makina-san.
"Emm, Headmistress... are you serious ?"
"Oh my ? what are you talking about ?"
"No, level 15 summoning is... last year best graduate attempt was at level 19 you know ? demon from level 15 means..."
"It"s alright, there"s no problem."
"B-But, if something were to happenー"
Makina-san expression and voice then turn sharp.
"If something were to happenー I"ll use my 『misteltein』"
The magic instructor then shows a surprised look.
"T-That magic art... is it ?
"Are you still worried ?"
"N-No... indeed I understand... when push comes to shove, I"m sure it will be fine leaving it to you."
"well thenー let"s start to activate the magic"
Being lead by Makina-san, the magic instructors lined up.
And thenーー
The magic art formation emits light.
In that momentー, the ground began rambling.
And the light considerably becomes strongー !
"... It seems to be a success."
The magic instructors then trotting pa.s.s me.
My cla.s.smates, the magic instructors, the academy official, and those who stand there, they held their breath as they look here.
And then the headmistress goes back and pa.s.sed me.
At that time, a commotion happened.
From the magic formation, a giant with a gigantic huge white body, also one huge horn and one bright red eyeーー it is the so-called Cyclops isn"t it ?... appeared crawling from the magic formation.
"Kurohiko !"
I turn toward Makina-san.
There Makina-san is as if giving me a command, she wave her hand.
"Go ahead and do itーー use your, forbidden spell !"
