60 – Midterm (4)

“… … What are you talking about?’

Are the test questions easy?

I also need to study to know the problem,

It was absurd to hear that a mere demonic sword knew.

I picked up a book with the title ‘A History of Empire’ written on the cover.

ㅡOh my. Is it a history issue? It seems too easy.

“Then let this go.”

Then, after picking up any question at random, I asked the magic sword.

“During the reign of Emperor <?>, the 13th emperor, there were three Ministers of Home Affairs and two Ministers of Defense. Among them, please state the names of the Minister of Home Affairs who insisted on the <Surveillance and Gun Act> and the Minister of Defense who insisted on the <Northern Punishment Paradox>.”

ㅡThe thirteenth emperor is that snoring Tristan. The history of those days… … oh Here it is. The Minister of Home Affairs who insisted on the Survey and Gun Act was Alan, and the Minister of Defense who advocated the paradox of the Northern Expedition was Kalis.

“… … Is that correct?”

ㅡDid you know?

The nuance of whether you really didn’t know.

ㅡInside me, all the history from long before the creation of this empire to modern times is recorded.

“What?”

ㅡI can absorb books, people, animals, etc., and absorb the knowledge he has. Maybe the holy sword, that year will be possible.

“But why don’t you know modern history?”

ㅡWhy don’t you know the modern history… … Because I was in that dingy, shady warehouse. If my master lets me eat that book, I can also learn modern history.

I quickly took the demon sword out of the scabbard and placed it on top of the book. Then, jet-black smoke billowed from the magic sword, and soon began to swallow the entire book beneath him.

ㅡyum yum… … . I also don’t like the taste of books.

A demonic sword that eats books while making cute noises.

The grumbling snake woman’s voice made me feel more than absurd, more than absurd.

“Perhaps… … Are there other subjects available?”

Among the many subjects that had been skipped in the meantime, there were overflowing subjects with no answers, starting with the names of the required subjects such as ‘Logic’ and ‘Imperial Courtesy’, as well as ‘Mathematics’ and ‘Knights’.

Other students say they are used to it because they have been taught through thorough education in their family since childhood, but I am not.

Didn’t he become an awakened person because he didn’t want to study even when he was in school in Korea in the first place?

The demonic sword responded in a soft voice to me asking a question with a little expectation.

—-Of course, my master.

“really?”

ㅡBooks are really bad, but… … If the master wants, he can absorb any book and use the knowledge in the book whenever he needs it.

“… … .”

‘Is it real?

I was speechless at the magic sword’s answer.

If other people noticed this fact, they would shout ‘Such shortcuts are bad!’, but fortunately, no such person existed.

The only person who should know is Lady Catherine, who knows that the demonic sword is an Ego Sword.

But my master

He attends the Faculty of Magic, not the Faculty of Knights.

A perfect cheating was possible that no one in the Faculty of Engineering, not even Sir Ferdinand, the dean, could figure out.

It is said that it is an open book test by myself.

A smile blossomed on his lips.

“… … remorse… … I can’t feel anything like that.”

remorse?

What do you know?

Originally, the world is an unfair law.

‘If he twists it, he will be recognized by His Majesty the Emperor like me and get the holy sword.’

Since I got the magic sword as a reward,

I’m free to use this sword’s abilities.

“If you help me this time, I will grant you one wish.”

ㅡ Is that true?

“okay. I’ll listen to everything, except for the things that don’t work.”

It wasn’t actually a wish, but even so, the demonic sword’s excited voice could be heard, as if he was happy just by the fact that he was accepting the request.

ㅡWell, is it really?

“uh. So, think about what you want to ask for.”

ㅡ I understand. After, after… … .

An unpleasant laugh shook my eardrums, but I decided to let it go.

‘Even if Carl made a wish, how great would he want it?’

I stood up from my seat feeling much more at ease.

***

On the day of the written exam at the Faculty of Engineering at the Prüch Academy.

The faces of the students going to school died under the pressure of having to take exams all day with a pen, not swordsmanship.

The red-haired young man who watched the scene had a faint smile on his lips.

“Why are you laughing?”

Miya asked with a puzzled expression. At the words of Princess Kaisel, who seemed to be offended by something, Leon shrugged and said,

“Well? Is it because you are in good shape?”

“Did you study hard?”

“Well, yes. It feels like I’m going to get perfect marks in all subjects.”

“What? What do you mean there’s no choice?”

Miya’s expression darkened.

“Leon, you haven’t studied at all.”

“I did.”

“lie.”

“Have you ever heard of the sword master study method?”

“How to study Sword Master? What is it?”

Eyes twinkling with curiosity.

“There is a special study method that only a sword master like me can use.”

“Where in the world is that!”

“Here it is. You won’t understand if I say it this way, but the results will prove it anyway.”

It was always the law of this world that the person who said this would perish the fastest, but today it was different.

Because Leon had a living witness of history, a library holding thousands of books hanging from his waist.

Miya muttered as she watched the back of the man returning to his seat.

“… … I’m somehow unlucky today.”

A dizzying attitude at first sight.

I don’t know what kind of confidence it is, but somehow it feels like it’s going to be as he says.

If the chief was taken away like this, the teasing Leon would receive would be quite humiliating.

She sat down, opened her notebook, and began her final check.

“I will hand out the test papers from now on.”

At the words of the supervising professor who came in after a while, everyone closed the book they were reading and put it under the drawer.

Leon’s eyes brightened as he glanced at the demonic sword hung next to the desk.

Eventually, as he unfolded the test paper given to him by the person in front of him, a familiar gray window appeared above his field of vision.

Tring!

[The ‘Demonic Sword: The Serpent of Jealousy’ speaks to you.]

[Do you want to confirm?]

ㅡ Accept / Reject ㅡ

‘Accept.’

A classroom that does not allow the slightest murmur.

At the same time as the test started, the atmosphere became overheated.

ㅡThe first subject is logic. Question 1 is a question quoting a quote from the knight and philosopher Enpentrion, and the correct answer is number 2… … .

In that subdued atmosphere, the young man smiled at the corner of his mouth as he lowered his head at the voice of the demonic sword that only he could hear.

‘This is the Ghost Test King.’

Reminds me of a famous cartoon I saw in my childhood.

dang dang dang

“Okay, let’s end the first test.”

It wasn’t until two hours later that the first written test was over.

“Wow, what is it? Is the difficulty also true?”

“I feel like I’m really screwed… … . what to do… … .”

“All the problems that the specially invited lecturer pointed out didn’t come out. I have to tell my mother to cut him off today.”

“Hey, you too?”

Leon, who hadn’t studied at all, had an expressionless expression, but the other students’ expressions were all rotten from the failure of the exam in ten years.

“ha… … .”

Miya, who had been studying hard, was no different, so she also let out a low sigh and spoke to Leon next to her.

“I didn’t know it was such a difficult test. It seems like I almost got it right after studying hard, but… … .

“Is that so?”

“Leon, how are you?”

“me? Well, you must have seen it.”

A young man who speaks as if it is none of his business. The woman jumped up from her seat.

Then, take out a workbook from the drawer and compare the correct answers with his and your own test papers.

“… … How did you solve the 27th question of Imperial Courtesy?”

“this? I studied.”

“Isn’t this a problem that isn’t properly addressed in textbooks? It’s even an essay type problem!”

However, Miya’s suspicions did not go any further.

Leon wrote a simple solution on the exam paper in advance to avoid being caught.

Of course, it was the magic sword that informed it.

At the exemplary answer written on the man’s test paper, Miya stared at him in disbelief.

But I’m afraid I can’t answer.

The red-haired young man spoke very frankly.

“I was lucky.”

Because I met the demonic sword in the emperor’s treasure house.

Of course, thanks to proving my skills, I was granted immunity from the emperor and received a magic sword.

Of course, Leon had no idea that the magic sword had this ability.

So, this was his luck in choosing the demonic sword.

“Suspicious, suspicious, suspicious… … .”

Miya repeats the word “suspicious” with her eyes narrowed, showing how suspicious she was.

However, Leon’s gaze is not on her,

It was aimed at the black sword next to the desk.

***

Tarantis, the capital of the Empire.

The inner palace of the imperial palace at the center of it.

To the west of the main palace, a black-haired young man moved towards a large palace called ‘Ale Castle’.

The destination was the residence of the Four Princes, the fourth heir to the throne.

The young man took a deep breath in front of the gate, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

The young man who opened the door and entered with the permission of the owner of the ark said while looking at the neutral-looking man standing on the terrace.

“Why did you call me this late at night, fourth brother?”

“Do you want to see your brother?”

“Stop the bullshit.”

A roaring tone like an angry beast.

However, to the Four Princes, the appearance of such a younger brother was only perceived as the barking of a timid dog.

“Whoops. Well, I called because I have something to tell you about the plan.”

“Has it already started?”

“Because there is nothing good to drag on for a long time.”

“So what do you mean?”

“You are in a hurry. Why, do you have a place to go?”

“I don’t think the other older brothers would like seeing the two of us together like this.”

“It is, but… … Because it is something I must convey to you.”

As soon as the man’s words were finished,

On the right side of the terrace, someone who had been hiding after killing a presence appeared.

“Nice to meet you, Emperor Five of the Empire.”

“All, you… … !”

In time, the old man’s face revealed in the moonlight,

The young man’s eyes fluttered mercilessly.
