I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

Due to unexpected unexpected accidents, this hunter exam came to an end very quickly even though the first exam was still over.

Although the person in charge of the relevant parties deeply apologizes for this, what has to be confirmed is:

As usual, the much-anticipated hunter exam officially came to an end in less than 10 minutes, and the number of people who passed the exam was remarkably only—zero.

……

Wait a moment.

Is this number real? !

Looking at the examination records over the years, it is not that no one has passed the examination successfully.Under the extremely high difficulty, it is not surprising that there are very few people who have successfully obtained the hunter license.

But, let's be honest.

In the first 10 minutes, all the players were eliminated...

This was the first time since the Hunter Association held the exam.

It has nothing to do with the difficulty of the exam. In the first level, even if you deliberately want to pass people, it is impossible to pass everyone.

Not even the trap that was set early in the first level.

Only 10 minutes.

The vanguard troops rushing to the front just ran out of the long tunnel, so they could get a glimpse of the real face of the perilous wilderness.

Just look at the two boys in the lead—they were still 10 minutes behind, catching up from behind like a sudden force—just bathed in the sudden bright light, their expressions suddenly changed, and their bodies also shone brightly. shine.

Oh, don't get me wrong.

The light that brightens people's eyes is not the brilliance that the young people shine from the depths of their souls because of their hard work.

Instead, very bluntly:

The white light that suddenly appeared shone in the sky, and fell rapidly at a speed that could be traced by the naked eye, as if approaching the ground after only one breath.

At that moment, most of the people who raised their heads subconsciously on the ground didn't know what was going to happen.

The retina is completely white, except for this color, I can't see anything else, as if the whole sky is overturned and crushed with a loud bang——

Boy One who exploded: "..."

Boy No. [-] using ice: "..."

"Don't think about me—all—know—"

"For a while - I don't know what to say -"

It seemed that someone had said something in a voice that was either grumpy or numb.

But I can't hear you.

Before the voices of the people on the ground spread, they were lost in the shocking earthquake that finally hit the ground.

White light enveloped the ground with a radius of tens of meters.

The sound was so loud that it became silent, and when countless people had no time to react, they involuntarily floated up—after a moment, their bodies were already floating in the pure white midair.

"Crash!"

The land was destroyed, dust was scattered everywhere, and a group of people all flew away!

According to the witnesses who woke up after the incident, they didn’t feel anything at the time of the incident, and they couldn’t hear any sounds. They only felt that their bodies were light and light, and golden stars floated in front of their eyes. Then, there was a sharp pain on their faces...

It seemed that something suspected of being a horseshoe stepped on the front of the face.

——The "criminal suspect" confessed to this.

"Is this a horse?"

"Yes, it's the horse we temporarily borrowed for transportation."

"Okay, I understand. Candidates 406 and 407, the exam rules do not prohibit candidates from bringing their own mounts. Logically speaking, your actions did not violate the rules of the exam room."

"Well, so—"

"But I still can't let you pass the customs."

"what!"

"Because of you, the examiner was attacked."

The examiner, who just pulled his head out of the soil, sounded calm, as if there was nothing in his heart.

But, take a closer look.

Mr. Examiner's beard, which had been perfectly groomed before, but now half of it had disappeared, was trembling.

The place where the beard disappeared was not in the soil, but before he fell headfirst into the soil under the impact of gravity, it had disappeared without a sound.

The murder weapon is not the horseshoe that has been testified by others—the horseshoe can’t do such a delicate operation, but a slender object that seems to have appeared at a certain moment for some unknown reason.

Sharp, razor-sharp, chilly, and crystal-clear in texture.

If this flashing picture is not a hallucination, then these mysterious objects that flashed with the rumbling and earthquake can be deduced as "shards of ice".

This is very strange.

Where did "ice" come from?

There is a hypothesis that these shattered ices are remnants of a young man who had shown his abilities at the beginning, used them to resist in a hurry, but was unable to break them.

But this inference cannot be thought about carefully, because even so, the spread of ice fragments cannot be so wide, almost perfectly overlapping the entire area of ​​​​the bombarded ground.

That is to say, at the same time as the accident happened, all the unlucky ones who floated more or less slipped over such crushed ice, and those whose hair was shaved off and their beards cut off can only be said to be bad luck.

Except for this little misfortune, everyone is basically unscathed-this is a miracle, the greatest luck.

Given that evidence could have been collected and studied after the event, a key evidence of the truth hidden behind the accident was found: the ice fragments unexpectedly did not survive.

It's as if they're melting away (guilty) before people hit the ground.

Anyway, no clues to be found.

Candidates No. 406 and No. 407, who brought their own flying horses and blasted away the candidates and examiners, did too much, which led to the temporary termination of the test. They are currently receiving serious criticism.

"Although this incident did happen because of a reason, I didn't do it on purpose, and it wasn't without hindrance—well, after all, no one was injured. Why can't we let the exam continue?"

"Well, the two of you didn't interrupt the exam on purpose, we've confirmed that it's true."

"That's not it!"

"It's your horse that interrupts the exam, so there's no difference in essence."

"..."

In the center of the vortex, the real culprit was gnawing grass with restraint.

As expected of the legendary king's car, even the demeanor of gnawing grass is full of nobility, and it is completely impossible to tell that this horse is really rebellious inside.

"...It has nothing to do with being rebellious, this guy just simply doesn't like you."

Eric said, in a rather inarticulate tone.

Someone who was stared at by him with sharp eyes: "Huh? Is that so? No, my relationship with Stallion should be pretty good—oh my hair!"

It is said that the horse with whom he has a good relationship raises its head, and even if it does not understand the language, it can be seen from its direct behavior that it dislikes a certain magician.

Click it!

Stallion opened his mouth and gnawed at the magician's hair.

The body of the legendary great sage is different from that of the magician. His hair is shorter, and he is not as flashy as the body of the magician.

But even though it was more difficult to gnaw, Stallion still gnawed furiously at his master's teacher's hair, as if he had an inexplicable "hatred" with him.

That is to say, after the green-haired beautiful boy lost his mysterious and cold temperament as soon as he arrived, the image of his companion, this young man who looked especially gentle and elegant, with great wisdom, was almost ruined.

Let's not talk about if someone who knows the deity is here and sees this series of miraculous operations that seriously damage the deity's reputation, will they die of laughter or anger?

"..."

The audience who were lucky enough to see the magical scene of a horse gnawing a man had subtle expressions.

"..."

The green-haired boy who was considered to be this guy's companion probably had the same idea as them, with a look of disgust on his face, and he didn't shy away from other people's gazes, he stepped back a few big steps openly.

Just at this time, Mr. Examiner, who was choked by the situation, was about to speak when the communicator he was wearing rang first.

He connected, heard the latest instructions from the headquarters, paused for a moment, and then calmly hung up.

"According to regulations, the exam was interrupted due to unavoidable factors. The 286th hunter exam will end early, and no one will pass—"

"But after receiving the notice from the president, the association made a temporary decision to give the candidates another chance. Please go back to the starting point and start the exam again."

Hearing these words, the people who were already in despair woke up suddenly from the feeling of being in a dream and feeling unreliable, and there was a sound of exhalation and excitement immediately.

Eric was also very happy to hear that things had turned around.

Just like what he had thought before, he was clearly hiding his identity and inspecting the real level of the younger brothers up close.

It would be extremely embarrassing to be kicked out for violating the exam rules before finding out anything.

Of course.

Eric had great confidence in himself.

Who is he?

Even if you have no interest in childish exams that are not difficult at all, as long as you come, it is absolutely impossible for you to be as useless as your stupid apprentice, idiot brother——

"Special reminder, the two of you are not included."

Eric: "?!"

Merlin: "...Ah!"

What kind of development is this that slapped the confident brother Eric in the face!

Can't believe it.

In front of my little brother, I was really ashamed to such an extent that he inexplicably had the hopeless thought of "fortunately it's not the real face"!

"Why—"

There is no reason, this is the judgment given by the president of the Hunter Association.

After talking with the examiner, there seems to be no obvious change in his attitude before and after. Maybe it just made the troublesome duo more determined to withdraw from the exam.

The duo whose actual ages add up to an astonishing number (dumb): "..."

In this case, whether it is a loud theory or a refusal to leave, it seems very embarrassing.

It's so embarrassing that I can't describe it in words.

Under the silent gaze of countless pairs of eyes, including apprentices, younger brothers, and younger brothers' sons.

The mysterious examinee who caused a lot of waves when he first came, with outstanding and extraordinary temperament, was declared out of the competition on the spot in an unprecedented magical way.

Out of the consideration of cherishing life, it is not possible to interview the mood of the person at this moment.

However, the psychological activities of his little brother are clearly visible.

Exactly the same voice:

——These two people, are they here to be funny?
