Mushoku no Eiyuu ~Betsu ni Skill Nanka Iranakattan daga~

Because of Leila, I had to work my entire personality to full capacity and stay up all night studying for the test.

I've only taken classes for a week since the last time I switched, so I'm studying almost from scratch.

'I would have had a day or two to spare if I'd complied in the first place.

Shut up. Give me your notebook.

Leila's notebooks had dirty handwriting, so I decided to ask her to show me Ricca's notes.

'I mean, why do I have to go to this extent for that guy...'

Despite such doubts, I managed to get through the midterm exam.

I was confused by the suddenness of the test, but the content of the test was very simple and basic, so it was helpful.

In fact, it's a level where I can get full marks with ease.

However, it's not good for Leila if she gets full marks as a replacement.

It's more annoying than anything else.

I decided to make a moderate mistake.

--I did, but.........

'Leila-san, you're very good.

And topping the written examinations as well.

It's wonderful.

The day after the test, right after the test, while looking at the names and scores of the top performers posted in the hallway, mouths go up in praise of me (Leila). Grading early.........

1st place, Leila, 450 points.

Second place, Belzea, 439 points.

Third place, Ricca, 428 points.

Fourth place .....

It's a perfect score of 500.

I thought a score of about 90% would be enough, but people didn't score as well as I expected.

Thanks to that, Leila got first place.

By the way, third place has Ricca's name on it.

That Rikka said as if she was impressed.

''I didn't expect to lose to an overnight martial arts student.

Well, I do have one question for you. Do you guys study for the test?　I purposely kept it down to 90%, but...

Do you want to be killed?

For some reason, the killing intent came from Rikka.

Since the test was over, Celestia's independent seminar was going to resume.

I, who had been replaced by Leila, was going to participate as Leila.

Five fourth-year students, led by Celestia, had gathered there.

There were four third years, including Alisa-san, who shared a room in the dormitory.

There were two sophomores and Leila was the only first year.

Twelve students in all.

Of course, the students were in the S class without exception.

The male to female ratio was exactly 50/50.

........but because of me, there were many boys.

''Today, as I told you last time, we will be conducting a real battle against demons outside the city. Please brace yourself even more than usual and join us.

""Yes!"

To Celestia's words, the participants straightened up and responded emphatically.

''Sensei, it's nice to meet you.''

Yes, sir.

It seems that one of the instructors will accompany me.

She's a woman in her mid-forties, just like a veteran.

Apparently, they'll be traveling by carriage.

This is indeed an independent seminar hosted by the princess.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

''This area is nice.

We get out of the carriage we stopped in.

Demons that live in the forest sometimes come out to this area, but we don't encounter them as often as we do in the forest.

That's why it seems to be a good area for real-world training.

''Then let's move in the usual formation.

""Yes!"

...the usual formation?

Of course, I don't know that I'm being replaced by Leila.

When I was confused, Alisa told me in a stern tone.

'What are you doing? You're right next to me.''

Uh-huh!

I hurriedly lined up next to Alisa.

We proceeded through the meadow.

The first thing we encountered was a bull demon with sharp horns.

It was about three meters long and its body was completely black.

It would be easy to understand if you can imagine a muscular, rabid fighting bull.

''Devil bison........!

The accompanying teacher screamed.

''I didn't expect to suddenly encounter such a demon.......!　Your Highness, before you even notice us--

No, no problem. First team, prepare your attack magic!　Group 3, prepare for the demon's rush with earth magic!

Ms. Celestia interrupts the faculty member who is trying to urge her to avoid combat and gives her an order.

''Ice Edge!''

Waterlance!

Several shots of attack magic, mainly blue magic, hit the Devil Bison's huge body.

''BMOOOH!

But the damage is minimal, and Devil Bison excitedly rushes at us.

''Groundwall!''

The rush was stopped by a thick wall of earth that appeared on the verge of a collision.

It slammed into it as hard as it could, and the Devil Bison's huge body flipped over.

''Second group, now!

Now it's red magic and green magic.

The devil bison let out a cry of pain as they were bombarded with blades of fire and wind at close range.

It seemed that each group had its own role, and they were divided into three groups: the first group was for blue magic, the second group for red and green magic, and the third group for yellow magic.

The first group is for long-range attacks and checks, the second group is for close-range attacks, and the third group is probably specialized in defense.

Alisa-san is in the second group, so probably Leila is in these two groups as well.

I guess there are four groups left.

Probably the users of white magic and black magic.

Eventually, the Devil Bison died and stopped moving.

But due to the use of red magic, his whole body is a wreck.

Devil Bison's meat is quite tasty, so you shouldn't hurt it too much.

The faculty members exclaimed in admiration.

''Excellent!　Her Royal Highness is indeed an independent seminar!　I can't believe that they took down the Devil Bison so easily. It was a splendid partnership.

It's the result of extensive training.
