Legend of the Fire Witch
Chapter 7: Entrance Exams and Witches
Alicia: “Igni, looks like we're moving on. Ignis? Hey, are you listening??”
Igni: “....hah? Ohsorry. Thank you, Alicia.”
When Igni regained consciousness, the explanation for the entrance exam was completed.
Seeing that half of the entrance examination participants were men was too much for Igni. So he stood there in pain, confused, and especially sulking like a child as the entrance exam instructions went on and ended.
If Alicia had not told him, he would have forever stood in that place sulking forever.
Igni: “...Sorry, Alicia. Where are we going now?"
Alicia: “Are you not listening? We will divide into 6 groups according to your number. Igni, what's your number?”
Igni: “I 120.”
Alicia: “Then you are in the same group as me. Come onl. Follow me."
Igni: (I'm very happy to know Alicia.)
[Oye, Igni]
Igni: (G-Grandpa?!)
In his mind, he clearly heard the voice of his grandfather who was currently not here.
[Confidentiality Popularity Rule Number 2 -- “A man always leads!” gotit?]
Igni: (...!).
Igni took a breath with a sudden realization.
Igni: (I--that's right! I almost forgot...!!).
Igni gritted his teeth as he walked behind Alicia.
Igni: (....I'm really led now..!)
[Oye, Igni]
Igni almost returned to sulking mode when Lucas' voice called out and echoed again.
[Sometimes, a man who lets a woman take care of him.].
Igni: (Grandfather..!).
Igni may not have completely failed.
In any case, Igni had no choice at the moment EXCEPT to follow Alicia, so he took her grandfather's words and continued walking behind her.
Alicia: “Oke, we're up, Igni. This is where you will state your compatibility. ”
There were many examinees marching to where Alicia had taken her.
Igni: “Our compatibility? What's the point of doing that?”
Alicia: “Depending on your compatibility, they will change the testing content. That's what the principal said before. ”
Igni: “Oh, yes! I.. uh.. remember now...! Ha ha - ha…"
Igni forced a smile and a laugh, but Alicia looked at him coldly as she wondered if he was okay in the head.
Alicia: “Check In Number 354. Alicia Esmeralda's. My compatibility is [ANGIN] : [A].”
"Please, please wear these green armbands."
As Alicia expressed her compatibility, the faculty gave her green armbands.
Igni: “I understand. So depending on your compatibility, the armband changes. ”
Alicia: “That's true. I'll go ahead. Good luck."
Igni: “Thank you.”
After seeing Alicia leave, Igni spoke to the faculty workers.
Igni : “Check In Number 120, Igni. My compatibility is [FIRE] : [F].”
"...............[......F]?"
The teaching staff looked at him in wonder and bewilderment.
Igni: “True. [F]T."
“.....Ummm, I guess we can't allow [F] compatibility to..”.
“I think in this school, strength is everything.”
“Yeah, that's true but ..”
Cornered, the faculty tried their hardest to figure out a way to prevent Igni when other examinees interjected among them.
“Hei hey. Do you consider this exam as some kind of joke? Or are you just trying to make some great memories? Why are there people with the worst compatibility potential here of all places?”
There was a blonde girl with short hair pulled back, with flashy and overly fancy clothes that she was strangely proud of. But Igni ignored him.
Igni: “[FIRE] it's a red armband, right?”
“Oh, uh, yes.”
"Hey you! How dare you ignore me! Are you even listening to me ?! ”
Igni.
But he not ONLY ignored her. No... she... actually…!!
Secret Rule of Popularity Number 2 - Women love a calm and confident man.
Igni knew that he would be called an F-Rank, but if he responded to everyone who voted for him, Ignat would be the one to be accused of being the little guy.
“H---HEY! YOU! DON'T IGNORE ME!!”
Igni: “Oh, where should I go after I put on the armband?”
"Please go straight down to the left side."
Igni: “Thank you very much.”
Igni bending.
He tried to leave immediately, but the other examinee grabbed his shoulder.
"YOU! STOP IGNORING ME! ARE YOU LISTENING?!"
Seeing the frustrated red face of the man, Igni gestured and let out a long sigh.
Igni: “Did you not know that in this school, strength is everything?”
"I won't let the trash compatibility of the lowest rungs demean me!"
Igni: “All right, see you.”
With that, Igni turned his back on him.
He did not even bother to ask the man's name.
Alicia: “So you are the type [FIRE].”
As she entered the building, Alicia was waiting for her near the entrance.
Alicia: “Yes, because when we came here, you used something like [FIREBALL]. That's why.”
Igni: “Oh, the [FIREBALL].”
Alicia: “Really? No one has ever heard of a spell you can use.”
Igni: “It's secret.”
If you show people that you have secrets, they will want to know more about you.
Alicia: “That's true. A true witch should not reveal her secret.”
But Alicia nodded, agreed and continued.
Igni: (Huh? T---wait. Wait for. Why isn't he interested in hearing more about me..?).
Igni doesn't like how things are going bad right now.
And with the right timing, as if to completely cut off their conversation, one of the Examiners opened their mouth to speak.
“First, we will assess the strength of your spell. Of course, we don't just see his strength. Speed of your spellcrafting. Control your magic. We will review some criteria like this to calculate your total score. You will only be required to reach one target, and we will assess your accuracy as well! Remember that!”
"Sir. Examiner. If it was just an ordinary target, wouldn't it be destroyed by our spell?”
A cold voice sounded from the crowd and questioned the examiner.
"Don't worry! On target, we have issued a judgment-type spell inscription as well as a magic reduction spell inscription. I'll \ You who are examinees like you won't be able to destroy it, so give it your all!”
The voice came from a girl with long black hair, confident calmness, and one sword held at her waist.
Igni: “Magic swordsman, yes.”
Igni muttered to himself.
He read about them in the story, but this was the first time he had seen them in person.
Alicia: "What is a magic swordsman?"
Igni: “It was someone who used swordsmanship and magic together to fight.”
Alicia: "That sounds hard."
Igni: “True. You must be proficient in magic and swords at the same time.”
And it's not like cramming a lot of things together makes you automatically strong as well.
If your magic is better, than you are just a Witch who uses a sword as a sub-weapon.
If your swordsmanship is better, than you are just a swordsman with some alternative sub-tactics using magic.
True magic swordsmen need your magic and swordsmanship to be the best.
Igni: “Come to the famous Witch school and become a sword user..
Alicia: "I understand...."
Alicia looked at the girl in admiration.
“Then let's start with Entrance Exam Participant Number 6. Please go forward.”
From there, the exam begins without any interruption in between.
The examinees one by one cast their spells at the target, but even before reaching it, their spells .
3 testers observe the results from various angles and make meticulous notes with each pronunciation of the mantra.
Alicia: “Igni, aren't you nervous?”
Igni: “No. Not everything."
Alicia: “...wow, you are very confident. Is your compatibility... possible [S]?”
Igni: “Why do you think so?”
Alicia: “Because of the way you used your magic. You are good.”
Igni: “Being able to use magic well and your match has nothing to do with each other. It just depends on how much you understand your own magic. ”
As soon as Igni says it.
“Check In Number 120!”
Number called.
Igni: “Oh, looks like it's my turn.”
Alicia: “H--hey! Do your best! Understood?!"
Igni: “Ya, thank you.”
Taking Alicia's impulse into heart, Igni stood in front.
“Without stepping over this line, shoot on target. You can use any spell of your choice. ”
Any spells of my choice? Well, I only have one choice - [FIREBALL].
Igni pointed his index finger straight at the target, and his thumb pointed upwards.
In one flowing motion, he created two [FIRESHELLs] at the tip of his index finger.
[FIREBALL] in front will be hard, and [FIREBALL] in back will be soft.
Igni: “[FLAME ARMOR - IGNITE]”
Next, he raised his strength
The two [FIREBALLs] started spinning around each other changing from red to blue slowly.
Igni: “[LAUNCH -- FIRE!!]”
DODOOOOOOOON!! (sfx)
A catastrophic, violent collision reverberated through the examination hall for the first time.
Smoke and dust from the Igni spell settles.
Igni fired two [FIREBALLs] and as the two were pushed forward, one exploded in mid-air to provide further acceleration of the harder [FIREBALL].
Therefore, he could \ indestructible targets.
3 examiners stood dumbfounded at the sight.
Igni: “........Secrets of Popularity Rules Number 3 -- “Women love men who stand out.”
Igni silently spoke to himself.
Igni: “.....L'M......I'M SURE TO BE POPULAR!!”
No one can stop him now.
