Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

Chapter 154 First Test: Battling Teachers Part 2



“I see… But we can not do things about words only. So please let him go. As it is a crime to plot against the crown even inside the academy, we will investigate what he planned to do. He will then be punished by the academy rules. Is that fine?” The Dean asked. His voice was calm. It seemed he was used to such situations.

“Yes….” I tossed the boy in my hand to the ground like tossing out a piece of trash. I then looked at the Dean and bowed my head. “I apologize for causing a fuss.”

“It’s fine. But I do hope you will not resort to violence right away each time.” The Dean said sternly. I could only bow my head in apology. I kinda lost myself there when I heard the kid talking about Adel.-.

After the Dean left, I met up with Sophie and the others. We sat and chatted while waiting for the registration process to finish. Hundreds of examinees were being registered, so it took quite a long time before we were able to finally hear how the first test would proceed.

“Now that you are all registered, the first part of the test will now begin. In order to keep things flowing, tests will start now and continue non stop until each one of you has been tested. On this stage over here, you will all come up one at a time and fight against one of our instructors. Do not worry. You do not need to win to pass this test. It is just to see if you have what it takes to take the knight courses or not. You may also abstain from taking this test if you wish to wait to take the second test. I have said what is needed to say, so let’s begin!” The Dean fished his words and flew off. I guess he needed to go deal with some things.

The first battle was a young man who looked around seventeen years of age. I can only guess he was a noble because his clothing looked pretty fancy. Well, fancy to me. I, for one, would never wear something like that to an entrance exam. To me, it did not make sense, but when I thought about all those who pay their way in, I figured this was probably the reason why. Even I and the others all have free passes and are only taking the exam for show. But even still, at least come looking like you were going to try….

Obviously enough, the young man didn’t last long. And the next person up was another young man. But he was much different than the last. He had a serious look on his face. It seems he was not someone who could pay their way in. The instructor allowed the young man to charge at him. It was a swift charge, and he seemed to have a lot of power in his swing. He began attacking at an incredible speed as well. But sadly, the instructor stood there with a smile on his lips and one hand behind his back. Just seeing this made me want to make him use his other hand.

But I could tell one thing about this instructor. He was watching each and every one of the young man’s moves, and even during the fight, he was giving advice on the young man’s movements. He was someone who knew how to teach.

One after the other, I watched as people climbed onto the stage and either forfeited, pretended to fight, or fought with everything they had. Surprisingly the number of people paying to get in was quite few and most worked hard to try to fight as best as they could against the instructor. Some were even strong enough for the instructor to try to counterattack. As the day passed, at least one hundred people had already finished their test. Currently, I am surrounded by sleeping people. Adel and Sophie were using my lap as a pillow while Grace leaned against my back. Lance sat on my right side while Sei was on the left side. As for Sally, she leaned against her hammer, but she was wide awake, just like the other two.

“You guys can sleep, you know.” I said to the three who were still up.

“Not a chance. Right now, we need to stay on guard after what happened this afternoon.” Sei replied. She stretched her arms and looked up at the starry sky above. “Plus, I am used to staying awake for weeks on end. A few nights won’t make a difference.”

“I have also gone through some of the black knight training, and staying awake was one of the things I was well versed in.” Lance stated proudly. Why he was proud about being able to stay awake, I do not know.

I turned and looked at Sally, who was nodding off, and smiled. “Sally, just take a rest.”

“Must…. protect…. Young Miss….” Sally said in between dozing off. I waved my hand and cast a sleep spell on her causing her to fall fast asleep. With a bit of wind magic, I was able to gently lay her head down so she would not fall over and hurt herself.

“I will set up a barrier around us so we can all take a nap. We will probably be going up tomorrow with how fast these matches are going.” I also wanted to rest, so the barrier I put up did three things. One was to protect us all together so no one could get near us. The second thing was that if someone attacked it, it would repel the attack back at the attacker with triple the force. And lastly it would wake us all up if someone did attack it.

The only reason I was willing to sleep was because there were still about two hundred people ahead of us. They were following the order of registration.
