The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 49: Written Test and Interview

Ok, ok, lets not hit on her..

Serph said, turning Kunon around, who was completely ignored by the saint, but still undaunted.

Thats it for the practical test. The next step is to take the written exam, so do your best to get into the course you want.

Also, Kunon, you really should stop picking up girls. Reyes doesnt want you to -

Because he doesnt like it, Kunon said to him, Sir!

The saint wont take me up on my offer at all! Ive already promised her three parfaits! Caution, please!

Ive heard all kinds of complaints, but this is the first time Ive heard someone complain about not being able to pick up girls. Hey, Seyfi?

When the assistant spoke to him, she whispered, What was that test you just took? Take it seriously. Tsk. Shee cursed him with a tongue lashing.

Oh sorry.

In what universe would an examiner take the entrance exam for an apprentice seriously?

However, there is no way a man can win against a crying child and an angry woman, so I decided to move on without saying anything else.

Anyway. No picking up girls until the exam is over. Youre still in the middle of an exam, you know.

Dont do anything to disturb the peace of mind of others at such an important time. You can do that after the exam is over.

Oh, I see I understand. Sorry.

It seems that the conversation was understood.

Kunon apologized to the saint.

A woman is thrilled to be seduced by an attractive gentleman. Im sorry I asked you out so many times.

What a positive thought.

Its amazing that he can clearly call himself an attractive gentleman. Hes a great kid.

Shouldnt he have failed the test? That boy is definitely the type to cause trouble.

Hmmm

Serph had no answer to Seyfis whisper.

Serph and Seyfi lead us to the school building to take the written exam.

This years test takers are all excellent.

Serph muttered as he looked at the answer sheets he had collected, and Seyfi beside him took them.

In this regard, none of the four candidates was particularly tricky, and they completed the exam with a lot of time left on the clock.

The only one to worry about was Kunon, though.

Those around him were worried about how Kunon, who wore an eye patch and was blind, would be able to take the written test, but he was able to solve it easily as if he could see.

What is the principle behind this?

The magic he had shown in his practice, the fact that he was Zeonlys disciple, and his personality were all mysteries to me.

The only thing left now was the interview.

Were going to interview you in order. Well start with Hank Beat.

Yes.

The place where they took the written test seemed to be the waiting area.

Hank was called by Seyfi, and together they left the classroom.

Sir?

Kunon spoke to Serph, the remaining examiner.

Who is interviewing and what are you talking about?

Youll find out when its your turn. What theyre talking about depends on the person.

Heee What if they ask me what type of woman I like.. or how many women Ive liked ?

Who would ask such a question?

And why is it so difficult for you to answer that question?

Is there something you feel uncomfortable saying?

A child who just turned twelve the other day.

In a relationship with a woman.

It was quite a frightening statement to think about.

Leeya Horse. This way.

As I was answering Kunons questions about magic, Seyfi came to call Leeya, who was to be interviewed next.

Ah, yes.

Leeya, who had been listening to an interesting story about the same wind attribute as Serph, left the classroom with her hair pulled back.

Huh? Is it possible that the interview will be dismissed immediately after it is over?

Hank, who had gone ahead of her, did not come back.

I dont know. It depends on the mood of the interviewer.

Serph slurred his words and played it down.

If he found out now, Kunon would start hitting on the saint again.

As you may have guessed, the interview will be dismissed after its over.

If he broke up with the saint here, Kunon wouldnt have a chance to pick her up for a while.

Ive never seen any other kind of magic except water and earth. Thats why its so interesting. Well, I cant see it.

You cant see, right? But you took the written test. Whats the principle behind it?

You want to know?

It was Serph who asked, Do you want to know? Kunons face turns to the saint as he asks.

.

The saint ignored him.

You cant see, but somehow you can see it.

You can take a written test.

It must have something to do with sorcery.

As a sorcerer, Id be lying if I said I didnt want to know, but it seemed like a long time to leave it alone, and I ignored it, guessing that if I showed any sign of caring, he would surely start hitting on me again.

At some point, if I get the chance, Ill talk to him.

The questions about witchcraft to Serph made me think that he was not really just trying to pick up girls.

But I suspect hes also looking to pick up girls.

Reyes Centrance. This way, please.

Yes.

The saints turn came and she left.

Its just you and me now, isnt it?

Yes, just you and me.

I wanted to be alone with a woman.

Thats strange. Me too.

Hey, no.

In a way, this situation is what Serph has been waiting for.

Hey, Kunon. About that practical test

Yes.

What other ways did you have in mind?

I turned it red so that it would be obvious that your magic had touched my body, right? Because I cant think of any other way.

Yes, Kunon made the color of the water red.

Why?

Because when it touched Serphs body, it would remain as evidence.

You were thinking of going further from that form of endurance battle. Isnt that right?

Kunon replied flatly, Yes.

Ive always been a candidate for a frontal assault. I was wondering if we could do something with erosion, fusion, and takeover.

Huh.

Serph is also a teacher at the magic school.

He doesnt have to say much, just the key words will give him an idea.

Im going to let the mist penetrate my windshield, fuse it with the wind, and interfere with my magic from there.

So you wanted to take away my windshield afterwards?

Something like that.

Did you think you could do it?

In my head.

When you take away an opponents magic, its easier to do it from the inside than from the outside. You see, magic power is usually connected to the magician. Thats why its hard to cover and wrap it up.

Thats why you can put water in. Or better, you just need to let it interfere with your opponents magic. Water can penetrate most things.

I see.

Sir.

Kunon stood up and walked away.

I believe that the water attribute is the best. I really want to advocate that it is the best and strongest, but I couldnt beat my master. So its still only the best.

Ill study hard here, learn a lot, and Im sure Ill surpass my master.

I walked to the door and opened it to see Seyfi, who was just about to open it from the other side.

Oh, you surprised me. Whats wrong?

Seyfi wasnt just standing there, she was actually trying to open the door. Thats why she was surprised.

I thought youd be here soon. Its my turn now, isnt it? Lets go.

Oh, ok.

Can I ask you to escort me? I like to be escorted by attractive women.

I cant give special treatment to candidates, even though you are Zeonlys apprentice.

Yes. In other words, Seyfi likes to be escorted, doesnt she?

Serph watches Kunon walk away while they were talking about this. Its not like that, he thought.

Serph looked at the door that Kunon had closed.

He shook his head, reflecting on his earlier words.

Thats the disciple of Zeonly In many ways, a terrifying child has arrived.
