When it comes to the fictitious thing that happens in school, they are nothing more than kid's fantasy.
A good time at school with your friends? A fireworks display that makes your heart pound with unrequited love?
Nothing like that exists.
Mid-term exam, final exam, mock exam, assignment, homework, and repeat.
'It's been a while since I graduated from university, but I am back to high school.'
It was said that Nexus Hero Academy was more difficult than most university, so my future already looked bleak.
The cream of the school life was not dating, a friend, or a festival, instead, it was an exam.
The Nexus Academy also held a test on the first day of classes. In fact, it was far too simple to be classified as a test.
The famed "Enrollment Test."
Even after passing the entrance exam, which boasted extreme difficulty, the written and practical magic test evaluated internal rankings. The students were organised into F-A classes based on their rank.
Most of the main characters were naturally assigned to Class S, but Kael Vi-rel was almost unconditionally assigned to Class F since his grades and combat abilities were also at the bottom, so he was always at a loss in events.
In the game, I went to the library or reading room and activated an AI study system to improve my grades, but it would not be possible in real life.
As a result, I was staring blankly at the exam papers on my desk.
Isn't it enough just to look at the test in the first place?
Or it might not be the case.
"I'm already supposed to be admitted as per the original plot, so I'll just leave it blank."
'Don't tell me I'm going to be expelled.' While pondering, I noticed a boy staring blankly out the window with a bored expression, as opposed to me, who pretended to be taking the exam.
Lucian Crowe was an excellent student.
Even his side profile, with messy brown hair, looked stunning under the sun. Aside from his radiant appearance, he had a rather dull face.
'Has he already become like that.'
That was one of the main problem of Lucian Crowe. Even though he was not yet an adult, he hates people getting above him, especially Elric Vales.
Both of them were Magician's
Born into one of the world's most powerful family, with a brilliant brain and talent.
Lucian Crowe might occasionally be on the side of evil faction during some of my playing time.
I took a look at his exam paper, and he had answered all of the questions. 'Wow, he has already solved everything?'
The same with Elric Vales.
It was not like me, who didn't know anything. In the midst of this, an idea struck me.
'Wait, isn't this exam recorded in my drone and Vismora glasses?'
While playing the game, I often went to the library and read books to build up various additional skills, so I was sure there was a lot of knowledge in the drone or Vismora glasses.
With that thought in mind, I took out my glasses, and at that moment, I felt a hand grab my wrist from behind.
"Wait. What are those glasses?"
"Yes, eh?"
As I stuttered in embarrassment, a man believed to be an instructor snatched the specs and brought them close to his eyes.
"You can't take out your glasses during the test. You should have told me to get them tested beforehand?"
'Ahh. Come to think of it, I have heard that there are quite a few Cadets cheating with suspicious magic enchantment on their glasses. It would never work in Nexus Academy.'
'What should I do?'
As I was thinking about it, a message appeared in my mind.
[The Vismora Glasses Has detected an Unusual Mana.]
[Would you like to accept it?]
'... No, you can't do that! What if I really get expelled because they thought it was enchanted with magic!'
As I stood still, the instructor looked around at the glasses and nodded stiffly.
"There's no magic in it. Be careful next
"Uh, yes..."
I put the glasses in my hands and sat down. He did not seem as thrilled as I thought.
'Wow, this would have been a real disaster if the original functions were detected.'
The myriad of functions contained in the ordinary looking glasses had now been 'downgraded' and locked.
If it wasn't for that, I might have been expelled from school due to the detection of magic enchantment.
I decided to wear Vismora glasses pretending to be a veteran who had been doing it for decades.
'Oh...'
Indeed, all of the answers on the test paper began to appear. I tried to write down the answer sheet with excitement, but I had only solved three questions when I was interrupted.
"The exam is over, I'll take the answer sheet."
"Uh, huh?"
The answer sheet in my hand flew and fell into the instructor's hand. Like me, the other students' answer sheets also flew into his hands. I was not the only one left with regrets as everyone sighed.
'Oh, I thought I was finally going to use some of its functions.'
With a magic pen in my pocket, I knocked on the desk.
I was timidly playing with it, and the supervisor, who was checking the answer sheets suddenly trembled, and a vicious expression appeared on his face. He came up to me with extreme rage.
"You, give me those glasses!"
"Yeah?"
"Quickly!"
I almost lost my mind. No, I think I was a little bit suppressed. The threat of a real magician had the power to make my heart sink.
As I quickly handed over the glasses, he touched them with a contemptuous expression. He seemed to be injecting mana...
What's wrong with him? I purposely wrote down the process of solving it in detail so that it wouldn't be misunderstood as cheating.'
"... Ummm."
Perhaps it wasn't the result he wanted. He tilted his head, saying, "This can't be true," and called an assistant waiting in front of him.
"Bring Dr. Grey."
The assistant quickly left the classroom, and soon a doctor wearing a white gown, and specs appeared.
He was Dr. Grey, a professor of the department of Magic Engineering at Nexus Academy and was recognised as an authority in the world.
"How is it? Doctor."
"Well...."
The doctor, who was quietly observing my glasses, looked at my exam paper and his eyes widened.
Did something really go wrong?
The doctor groaned for a long time. Looking at my face, glasses, and test papers alternately, he finally opened his mouth.
"I'm sure the problem is solved... I can't help but doubt it."
"As expected, cheating..."
"But it's not cheating. I don't feel any magic enchantment in these glasses or in this student's belongings. I'm sure he solved it with pure skill."
And then, he smiled wildly.
"Huh, this is very interesting. It's something worth living for a long time. Isn't he the one who rank first in the practical examination. As expected, this year's freshmen are amazing."
He handed over the paper back to the instructor, as if he had finished checking the test paper. Then, Dr. Grey tapped him on the back.
"Anyway, Professor Ronan Wolfe, please apologise to the student and guide him well."
"... I see."
The doctor tapped me on the back too and walked out. When I put back the glasses and looked at the instructor with a blank look, he shook his head slightly at me.
"I misunderstood. I apologise."
Since I really cheated, I was worried about whether I should receive this apology or not.
But, I soon recalled that my glasses were a perfect part of me to the point where the heros could not even notice. If Dr. Grey did not know, it was safe to say that no one in the world would have the skill to do it.
If it was such a perfect trick, wouldn't it be my skill and not a trick anymore?
So, I stiffened my shoulders and said, "Shit happens. Just be careful next time."
After all, I was a lucky man.
