Next morning.
I woke up at 4:30 and intended to run around the city of San Minerva. I saw Irene who was still asleep next to me so I moved out of bed slowly so as not to wake her up. Then I walked out of my room and walked out of the inn to run around San Minerva.
-
I've run around this city three times. I just ran around the inn because if I really ran around the city of San Minerva, it would definitely take a long time. This city is huge, not all the places we went yesterday.
The city was very quiet in the morning, I did not even find a single citizen except for the soldiers who were on patrol. When I saw or felt the soldiers on patrol, I always chose to avoid them.
Because it was still very early in the morning, I chose to continue my running activities. But in the middle as I ran, I was startled by the sound of a woman coming to intercept me.
"Wait a minute, can I ask you something?" the woman asked.
I looked behind me and was surprised to see the woman behind me. I didn't realize it at all. The woman had long gray hair with a ponytail hairstyle, her right eye was covered by the bangs of her hair. He was wearing the same uniform as the soldier I saw before, but he was also wearing a long silver robe. There was a large sword he was carrying behind his long robe.
"You ask me what, miss?," I asked.
"Are you one of the criminals who likes to do something in this city?" asked the woman.
"Criminal ? ah no miss, I am a student of San Fulgen Akademiya, I happen to be out at this hour because I am in sports by running around the city of San Minerva. I am not wearing the academy uniform because I just woke up but if the lady wants to ask for proof that I am a student of the academy, I can show you this even if I don't know if she'll know it or not" I said, taking something in my pocket and showing it to the woman.
"That's right, the brooch belongs to the members of Elevrad," said the woman after seeing something I showed her.
"So the lady knows it too?" I asked.
"Of course, I may not know. So you are a member of Elevrad huh?," asked the woman.
"Yes, miss. I'm a new member of Elevrad because I'm still in my first year" I said.
"So yeah, I also know that the first year students of San Fulgen Akademiya will be doing exams around the Duke's residence. All right, you can go, sorry for interrupting your time. I was suspicious of you because you're the only person I've met at this hour" she said.
"That's it, it's okay, miss," I said.
"Then I go first" said the woman.
The woman turned and walked away from me. As he turned around, I could see there was a picture behind his long robe. Although some of the images are not visible due to the covered greatsword, but I am sure that the picture of the long robe resembles a peacock.
-
After a few moments of running, I returned to the inn. When I reached my inn room, I saw Irene sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Where are you going, Rid?" asked Irene.
"I've run around here running, I'm going" I replied.
"Why don't you take me?" Irene asked.
"You didn't say it, but even if you said you wanted to come, I couldn't wake you when I saw that slumbering face of yours" I said.
"......Tomorrow I'm going to join you in sports and I'm sure I'll wake up first from you" Irene said.
"Well," I said.
Then I went into my room and got my new clothes and got ready to take a shower.
-
After that, we both left the room to go to the dining room downstairs for breakfast. When I got to the dining room, I saw that the others were already here. Noa who saw me just arrived at the dining room immediately approached me.
"Hey Rid, what about last night?" asked Noa.
"What's the night?" I asked.
"Ituloh, did you sleep alone with princess Irene, did nothing happen semalem?," asked Noa.
"Nothing, I'm not doing the things you're imagining right now" I said.
Then I sat down in one of the chairs and waited until our breakfast arrived. After breakfast arrived, we ate it.
-
"Welcome back, new students of San Fulgen Akademiya" Duke Darwin said.
"Greetings, Mr. Duke, today we would like to ask for permission to use one of the places from where you showed us yesterday to be a place of examination for our students" said Mr. Alan.
"Please, Alan. Let's hurry to that place" Duke Darwin said.
"What do you think will be the test, Rid ? Mr. Alan said that's the place that Mr. Duke showed us yesterday, meaning the place we visited with Mr. Duke will be the testing ground for us" Noa said.
"Sure, that place is definitely not a dining room or church. Looks like we're going to have an exam at Duke's training ground" I said.
We finally arrived at our exam site. My guess is correct that we will be conducting the test at the Duke warrior training ground. There were many soldiers who seemed to be waiting for our arrival.
"You all have come. My name is Marshall Dykes, commander of the soldiers serving Duke San Minerva" Marshall said.
"Greetings, Commander. My name is Alan Hugo, I am the first year teaching representative of San Fulgen Akademiya" said Mr. Alan.
At first the two of them were about to shake hands but commander Marshall immediately grabbed onto Mr. Alan's shoulder to embrace him.
"Why are you always this formal, Alan ? and yet we've met many times for activities like this" Marshall said.
"Hahaha sorry-sorry, I end up feeling disrespectful if I don't do it formally" said Mr. Alan.
"It's easy" said commander Marshall.
"I ask permission to use this training ground and borrow your soldiers, commander," said Mr. Alan.
"Please, this is for the sake of the academy exam and Mr. Duke has also allowed it" Marshall said.
"Thank you, commander," said Mr. Alan.
Then Mr. Alan came back before us.
"Consideration, everyone. Before we start the fourth exam for this first day, I'll explain about the fourth exam first,"
"Unlike the previous test that was conducted for 4 days, this fourth test was only carried out for 3 days. There are 3 different exams within 3 days of the exam. The total points you will get in this fourth exam is 5000 points. This point will be divided into 500 points in the first day exam, 500 points in the second day exam and 4000 points in the third day exam. There is no disqualification system in this exam, so if for example you fail the first day exam, you can still take the second and third day exams" said Mr. Alan.
Hearing that, all the disciples looked calm and relieved.
"The first day and the second day will be conducted at this training ground, while the third day exam is still kept secret. You can guess yourself first because the place for the third exam you've seen when we went around with Mr. Duke yesterday" said Mr. Alan.
Hearing that, some disciples started chatting with their respective friends to guess the exam spot on the third day.
"Please calm down for a moment, my explanation is still unfinished" said Mr. Alan.
Hearing that, the originally chatting disciples stopped talking.
"After you've finished your tests, you can't leave the Duke's residence. You can leave the Duke's residence if all the disciples have finished the test and we return to the inn together. While waiting for the other students to complete the test, you can wait at this training ground or walk around the Duke's residence. I have obtained permission from Mr. Duke so that you can tour the residence" said Mr. Alan.
"That's right, for those of you who have finished the test, you can tour around my residence" said Duke Darwin who has been accompanying us since.
"The test will be carried out 3 days, Monday to Wednesday. On Thursday you will get a holiday and can tour the city of San Minerva for a full day. We will return to the academy on Friday, but we will say goodbye to Mr. Duke first at his residence just returned to the academy" said Mr. Alan.
Hearing that we can have fun in San Minerva for a full day on Thursday, the students were happy and excited.
"Hoho looks like they're all very happy" Duke Darwin said.
"They're always like this if there's an announcement about the holiday,"
"Everything is calm, my explanation this time is over, do none of you want to ask?," asked Mr. Alan.
The disciples calmed down and looked beside them to see if any of the disciples would ask, but none of them would ask.
"No one wants to ask ? yes, let's start the fourth exam soon, then,"
"In the fourth exam of the first day, you will fight with the Duke soldiers one against one" said Mr. Alan.
