A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

049: A Lesson for Entrance Examination Candidates

After the “Kiss Incident.”

It hadn’t been long since Tralin had barely received forgiveness.

“A devil’s smell?”

In the classroom, Maria gazed at Tralin and said.

“…What?”

Maria circled around Tralin, murmuring to herself.

From noble mtl dot come

“This is strange. Did you recently have contact with the devil?”

“At least, I don’t remember it in my memory.”

“Hmm, it might just be that I didn’t dress properly, so it smells like that.”

“It’s impossible to avoid it because of the typhoon.”

Maria shrugged her shoulders and then nodded in resignation.

“Be careful. It means that a devil might be nearby.”

“Yeah, I’ll be careful.”

Tralin responded and muttered to himself.

‘Eiya, hurry up and do it.’

‘I know nothing, okay?’

‘Don’t lie. You’re definitely hiding something.’

‘What’s the basis for constantly bothering me?’

‘By my instincts.’

‘Your instincts are always wrong, aren’t they?’

‘But…’

Just then, Eloise, the instructor, entered the classroom and said,

‘Everyone, good morning! Before the lesson starts, there’s a brief announcement.’

She then pulled out a sheet of paper from the desk in front of her.

‘Even if there are people who know, the Academy Department holds an “Academic Experience Classroom” every year during this time.’

She looked around at the students and said,

‘And this year, Train, Silan, and Barbara will be in charge of the experience classroom.’

As soon as she said that, Silan and Barbara both made unpleasant expressions.

‘Ugh, that’s annoying.’

Baba didn’t think deeply and quickly lifted his hand to speak.

“‘I think Lizbet needs to go instead,'”

Elloï’s instructor frowned with a pained expression.

“‘Lizbet has to take a break for a while due to personal reasons, you know.'”

“‘But…'”

Traine turned to Siran and asked quietly.

“‘What’s the point of this experiential classroom, anyway?'”

“‘It’s for students who are entering the academy next year and playing with them.'”

“‘Ah, that’s the case?'”

“‘It’s a kind of play for the privilege of a select few among the hundreds of thousands of students.'”

Traine’s expression at that moment was exactly the same as the one he had just made at Siran, the prince.

“‘Ah, it’s so annoying.'”

“‘Is that so?'”

Just then, Elloï’s instructor lost his temper and scolded the two of them.

“‘What do you know about how esteemed experiential instructors are?!'”

“We’re probably the students at the academy who care the least about prestige, right?”

“Don’t tell me you’re just going to dump this on us because it’s inconvenient?”

“It’s noisy! The director has already signed off on it, so you should know that!”

In the end, Eli’s expression seemed to give up, and he let out a deep sigh.

Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he turned to the person sitting next to him and said:

“Hey, Ziz, I have a request.”

***

On that Saturday, the rain had finally stopped, and the typhoon was starting to subside.

Eli, the instructor, shouted at the entrance of the cave:

“Everyone will enter the dungeon soon, so don’t get nervous!”

However, the murmurs of discontent echoed from all directions.

“What’s the big deal about clearing a C-grade dungeon with 30 people?”

“Is this an academy experience classroom? Did I accidentally join the mercenary training team?”

“If you knew this would happen, you should have studied at home.”

Unexpected complaints left Eli the instructor slightly flustered.

In the end, Barbara cleared her throat and stepped forward.

“Well, listen up! There’s a reason I brought you all to the dungeon today.”

She then began to explain calmly.

“Those with battle experience during the entrance exam will receive bonus points.”

It’s also a chance to get to know the seniors from the Military Arts Department beforehand.

As she spoke, the kids listened with enthusiastic expressions, unlike when they were under Elio’s guidance.

“And as a bonus, we’ll give additional points to the top-ranked group.”

With that, Barbara stepped back, and Elio’s guidance took over, stroking his hair thoughtfully before speaking.

“Well, then, let me introduce the seniors. Prince Shiran, Baroness Barbara, and… Duke Jiz.”

He glanced around at the kids, his voice slightly tense.

“Line up in front of the senior you like.”

As he said that, about half the kids rushed to stand in front of Prince Shiran.

“Prince! You’ve been amazing lately!”

“I’m a fan of Prince Shiran!”

It’s said that Prince Mangnani has become a grand figure, isn’t it?

However, Prince Siran reacted with anger to various praises.

“It’s just been said that Prince Mangnani is dead!”

On the other hand, about 10 children gathered in front of Barbara.

“Barbara madam! It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other!”

“It was impressive that you won the violin competition in the past.”

“You and Rizbet were teammates in the school newspaper, weren’t you?”

Then Barbara naturally smiled and said.

“No, I’m not even on the same level as Rizbet’s toes.”

…On the other hand.

In front of Tremain, who was imitating Ji-z (Tremain), almost no children came.

This was easily understandable due to the commotion of another group.

“What… isn’t that the notorious Ji-z, that famous troublemaker?”

“Why did he have to come here instead of Tremain?”

“Because Tremain came down with a cold, it seems…”

Trailing her hand over her face, she let out a deep sigh.

I don’t want to draw attention to myself in front of newcomers.

That’s why she’s hiding her true identity.

In a way, it’s almost humiliating to be treated like a celebrity.

But still, the fans who want to join my group are saying…

As we exchanged small talk for a bit,

Trailing smiled awkwardly and said,

“Hey, it’s Zhi. Let’s introduce ourselves and why we’re here.”

A tall guy with a brown mullet-looking haircut, who seemed to have a very high sense of self-importance, spoke up.

“I’m Rock. I came here because I hate the noise and commotion of fans following me around.”

A guy holding a modified guitar and wearing a black cloak spoke up.

“I’m Tel. You looked really lucky today, by the way.”

A girl holding a pink-colored hair clip and wearing a short haircut with a pinkish tint spoke up.

“I’m Phirio. Do you know that Siran Prince is a close friend of Zhi?”

The last one, a girl with golden ponytail hair and holding a one-handed sword, spoke up.

“Yu-ril is.”

…”Yu-ril?”

The trainee stared fixedly at the girl student.

And then she suddenly realized her true identity and was about to shout.

“Wait a minute! Why-“

“Shh.”

Yu-ril, no, Princess Sia, playfully said while putting her finger to Trian’s mouth.

“Let’s do it together, ‘Jiz’ sir?”

Trian looked at Princess Sia for a moment, then

Elloe instructor spoke to everyone.

“We’ll score three items in groups.”

Elloe instructor briefly explained.

“The number of monster slayers, cooperation, and safety. No questions? Let the seniors decide who goes first.”

Barbara was the first to step forward.

“Our group will go first. We have to show a great appearance for Lizbet.”

Then, Prince Siran, unexpectedly, revealed his enthusiasm.

“Don’t be silly, we’re the ones who go first.”

As it turned out, Prince Siran had a adventurous personality.

Normally, he was quiet, but in a situation like this, he would get competitive and stir up the atmosphere.

On the other hand, Train said, taking a step back.

“We’re a small team, so we’ll start last.”

Behind, Rock was getting anxious, but he was ignored.

In the end, Siran Prince Group went into the dungeon first.

And 3 minutes later, Barbara Group followed.

Train Group was still left outside, and Rock was getting anxious, unable to calm down.

The two female students were already chatting and laughing together, like old friends.

“I’ll make a serious attempt to get close to Prince Siran after I enroll.”

“Good luck. Oh, Prince Siran is surprisingly weak in strategy, you know.”

“Do you have someone you like?”

“I’m just a one-way hearted train, after all.”

“What a coincidence that that person didn’t come today, I guess fate was against me.”

“Well, you might be lucky for the same reason.”

“Ah, I feel like we could get along.”

“Ah, I think so too.”

…T-rain didn’t seem to notice the awkward conversation.

Finally, the El-lo instructor shouted.

“Group! Let’s get in line!”

Just as he finished saying that, Rock rushed in.

“I’ll go first, so you guys follow me!”

However, the El-lo instructor grabbed Rock’s shoulder.

“You kid! You’re not even close enough to the group leaders!”

“That’s not the point! It looks like you don’t even have any ambition!”

“You chose your group, didn’t you.”

…As a result of their quarrel, it took a while for T-rain to finally set off.
