After the first day of the exam, we decided to go straight to the dormitory.
"If this afternoon the weather is cool and cool, it would be nice to go for a walk first. But this afternoon the weather was very hot so it's better we just go back to the dormitory" said Noa before we decided to go home.
After reaching the dormitory, I went straight to my dorm room.
"It looks like Irene hasn't come yet, yes, yes" I said.
I decided to read the technical book I had, who knew there was a useful technique I could use in the exam the next day. Then about 10-20 minutes I read the book, Irene came to my dorm.
"I thought you went for a walk with the others, Rid," said Irene.
"No, Noa said the weather this afternoon was very hot so just want to go home. Maybe they also want to recuperate and prepare for the second day of the exam tomorrow. Where are you going, Irene?," I asked.
"I've been buying groceries for lunch" said Irene.
"You bought the ingredients with your own money?" I asked.
"Yes" said Irene.
"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to buy groceries ? I can buy it myself. You have made me food, when you also buy food," I said.
"It's okay, after all I don't know what money I get from the academy I want to use for" Irene said.
"Stay, anyway, in the future I'm the one who buys food. You just tell me you want to buy any food," I said.
"All right," said Irene.
Then we got ready to make lunch. Although Irene cooked it but I still prepared the things needed to cook. I don't feel good if Irene does it herself even though she offers to make me food. After lunch was ready, my dorm door was knocked on by someone.
"Miss, we both came for a meal" said someone who seemed to be Lily's voice.
Lily is always outspoken, in contrast to Leandra who is a little calm. They know that at lunch like this Irene is usually in my dorm so they knock on my dorm door.
"Let me open" said Irene.
Irene walked to the door and opened it. A few minutes later, the two guests came in.
"Well there's Rid too, if you take a walk with your friends, Rid," Lily said.
"No, we decided to go straight home after the exam was over" I said.
"Then I'm sorry for interrupting your date" Lily said.
"It's okay, just relax" I said.
The four of us started lunch.
-
After lunch.
"According to Mr. Alan, tomorrow's second day exam will be more difficult than today's exam, what do you think makes it more difficult, Rid?," asked Leandra.
"Hmmm maybe from the difference in the movement of the doll or from the number that will increase tomorrow" I said.
"So yeah, it looks like we have to practice, Lily, we also have to finish this exam" Leandra said.
"Why don't we ask Rid to train us ? just like Rid trained miss," Lily said.
"Hmm me ? I don't mind training you guys" I said.
"But we don't have anything to give you, Rid. Miss just offered to make you a dish in return for you training it" said Leandra.
"I didn't expect anything in return, after all from the very beginning when Irene asked me to train her, I didn't ask for anything in return. Irene herself, who offered me the reward, wanted me to refuse, but she insisted" I said.
Irene just kept quiet listening to our conversation.
"Then please train both of us just like you trained Miss" Leandra said.
"Alright but I don't know if my training method will be suitable for you guys or not. Not that I intend to discriminate, but we are different races, there could be a possibility that the way to train me is not suitable for you and maybe your race has a different training method," I said.
"That's right, I don't think I'd mind your training methods" Lily said.
"Alright, then tomorrow I wait for you at 4:30 am at the first year's training ground" I said.
"Does it have to be that early, Rid?," asked Lily.
"I also trained Irene at that hour, because that hour was still quiet because I didn't want to be seen by many people while training you. Later those who see me are training you, even ask to be trained as well" I said.
"Alright, I'll try to get up at that hour tomorrow morning" Lily said.
Then the next morning, Leandra and Lily also came to the first year training ground for the rehearsal. When I told her that her training was at 4:30 in the morning, Lily seemed reluctant to do it at that hour. But in the end he still came to this training ground, even though he looked very sleepy.

Then the test for the second day also began and again I got the first turn.
~Wood Creation Magic, Fighting Wooden Puppet~
Mr. Alan and the four other staff also took out the wooden dolls. This time they took out more wooden puppets than yesterday. After I counted, there were 40 wooden puppets in front of me and they were also holding different weapons just like yesterday.
"Yesterday there were 20 wooden dolls and now it has grown to 40 huh. For the movement of the doll will it be different from yesterday as well?," I thought.
"The second day's test, it starts!!," said Mr. Alan.
The wooden puppets immediately attacked me. The puppet wearing the arrow also attacked me with his arrow but I managed to dodge their arrow.
"Their movements are a little faster than before, the archer puppets alone have already attacked me with their arrows first" I thought.
Then I launched a fire slash to where the puppets were gathered.
~Flame Sword Art, Great Flame Slash~
The slashed dolls were burned and destroyed, but not all of them were destroyed as they spread and did not gather at one point. But it didn't matter to me because I still launched my flame slash again towards them, even though it couldn't destroy them all in a single strike. And eventually they all broke down.
"Good job, Rid. Like this second day's exam is nothing to you. Then next, please go ahead Irene," said Mr. Alan.
-
Then we all managed to complete the second day of the exam. I, Irene and the others can easily clear this second test even though none of us managed to defeat all of those enemies in one strike because in the second day's exam, it's not like that, the dolls spread in all directions. The other students also managed to complete it even though there were some of them who almost failed. They are very tired and some are injured.
"Congratulations that you all have made it through the test on this second day. I didn't expect that all of you would be able to clear this second test, I guess there are some of you who would fail. You guys are so amazing. Then I'll see you tomorrow for the third day exam. Prepare yourself as best you can because tomorrow's third day exam is harder than today's exam" said Mr. Alan.
Again Mr. Alan said something that made the students restless and uneasy.
-
The next day, the third day of testing began. And again I had the first turn to be an example to the other students.
"It seems like the last day of the exam tomorrow I also get the first turn. Yes this is because I got 1st in the entrance exam and now I am a 1st student who collects the most points. Whatever turn, I don't care" I thought.
This time in front of me were 60 wooden puppets, more than the previous days. And again their existence also spread so it seems difficult to defeat them at once using 1 attack, although it could be if I used area magic but I am not willing to use that technique at the moment. Then the dolls started attacking me. I attacked them one by one. I attack with ~Great Flame Slash~ towards those who swarm. I finally finished the third day exam.
"Even you managed to clear the test this third day, congratulations Rid. You can continue to do the final day of testing tomorrow. Next..," said Mr. Alan.
Finally, the third day exam was over. Me, Irene and my friends successfully completed this third exam, the other students also succeeded. However there were some of them who failed this third exam and could not go on to the final exam tomorrow. They failed to destroy the 60 dolls within 2 minutes. Those who fail can only be sad and subdued. Meanwhile, of those successful disciples, there were some of them who were extremely tired and limp. It seemed like they ran out of mana after defeating those 60 wooden puppets. Me and the others took the initiative to help those who were already very weak.
"I congratulate you for completing the third day of the exam and for those of you who cannot complete it, please do not be discouraged. There are still three more tests you can take in the future. Please go straight home and rest today for the final day exam tomorrow. Then I'll see you tomorrow" said Mr. Alan.
We also helped our classmates and took them to the treatment room on the 2nd floor of the middle building.
-
The next day, the final exam was taking place.
"It looks like this time you're not holding back huh, Rid. Even with more wooden puppets than the previous day's test, you can still destroy them all with 1 attack" said Mr. Alan who was surprised to see the number of wooden dolls destroyed by fire.
