Chapter 68 - The Conditions of Legal Withdrawal
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
For some reason, it’s like a three-way conversation mission with the headmaster with my dad.
The headmaster was having a great time talking with Dad about me, but he doesn’t let up.
”You are interested in ancient magic, aren’t you?”
Gikuri.
Now, it had come this way. I’ve heard that Professor Tia was not well-liked for her frankness. It’s a good idea to get out of that lab and move to another one at once. That was the condition for tuition exemption! I’m ready to cut off Professor Tia once and for all with a desire to cut myself off if she said “I don’t know what to do”.
Ah, but she’s in danger of revealing Shiva’s true identity out of spite.
If she showed any signs, I’ll just grab her and take her away to my paradise. She would be happy there to study for a while.
“All right, let out your terms, Dean.”
“I see. If it’s ancient magic that’s still unexplored, then maybe we’ll be able to discover the secrets of Haruto’s mysterious powers.”
Hmm? That’s surprisingly positive.
“But back to the point, to excuse a student from attending a class, you’ll have to provide a believable result for their ability. The foundation of knowledge must be carefully assessed. Also, even if you are able to demonstrate competence in a practical class, it’s impossible to know at this stage whether you will be able to apply it in the real world.”
‘So,’ he said quietly, ‘there are two conditions.’
“Two conditions. First, you must pass the written exam we will prepare for the lecture class.”
That could be done by cheating.
Okay, next.
“As for the practical skills, this should be considered a graduation exam, but you will be challenged to explore the Ruins of Olympus.”
Yeah, I knew that too.
It’s an old building where demons roam. Apparently, it was a dungeon that goes deep underground.
However, according to what I heard, the graduation exam was only about beating the designated demons and retrieving items left behind by skilled teachers.
I’ve heard that the deepest part looks pretty bad, but to send students to a place that even the most skilled teachers couldn’t get access to.
“I’m going to ask you to explore the deepest part, Haruto-kun.”
“E–?”
"
"
“It is said that the Seven Sacred Treasures are buried there, and you must find them and bring them back.”
“I don’t think this is a good idea.”
I didn’t understand it, but I guess I wasn’t the only one who felt this way.
“Wait! In the past, just prior to the defeat of the Demon King, this was a challenge that even our entire strike force, including Princess Senko, failed to accomplish. And we still don’t even have a clue how to capture it.”
Of course, that’s impossible. This isn’t some kind of nonsense.
But wait… Why would you want to do such a dangerous test?
Hahaha, I get it.
This was the thing. “Let’s celebrate your courage to try,” or something like that.
“Okay. I’m going to do it!”
“Haruto?!”
Fufufu, it’s all right dad. Look at that, the headmaster was ecstatic at my courageous statement and looked like a maiden in love.
”A, what a brave young man……..”
Voila. Now I’ve done nothing but pass the practical skills test. All I need to do now was cheat on the written exam and I’ll be fine—
“I’m sure you’ll pull it off. Good luck.”
Huh?
“I won’t stop you if you’re feeling up to it. But you mustn’t do anything rash.”
Hmm?
“Set a deadline of one month. If you don’t achieve it, don’t be discouraged. If you don’t, I will create a special curriculum for you and I will guide you through it.”
Are re?
[TlNote: Potential Conan expression!]
This is bad. You’re stuck if you don’t handle it calmly.
“Excuse me, can I ask you one question?”
“What is it?”
“What would have happened if I had said, ‘I can’t’?”
“As well as failing to achieve it, I’ll have to mentor you directly, I suppose.”
Right.
So, he wanted to have a monopoly on me, right? It’s tough being popular. That’s not what I’m talking about.
No, this was the kind of guy who would be treated like a monster if he ever achieves it.
But I’m not the one who’s down in the dumps.
I was a positive person trying to find a way to make a difference. Now a revelation came to me.
“Let’s do it. But there is one thing I want you to do, and that is to listen to my selfishness.”
“What is it?”
I wish out loud.
“Let me throw a party, please!”
If I couldn’t do it by myself, we might be able to do it together.
And if we get the win, then the credit will be spread around and my reputation will be relatively low.
So what’s the plan?
The dean puts his hand to his cheek and ponders.
I’m going to use a psychological bargaining tactic like sticking your face in the door to win their approval, I tell them ahead of time.
“It’s a very difficult task that even the demon king’s defeating team couldn’t do, so we can ask an outsider to help us out, right?”
If this was accepted, we can throw in Shiva. However, there’s no way that an overprotective proposal that could bring my dad along with me to a student’s exam would be accepted.
If he refused, he would show his willingness to compromise by saying, ‘Well then, it’ll have to be someone from within the school,’ Then, he would make the other party concede by saying, ‘Well then, that’s just the way it is.’ As a result, they will achieve their goal of ‘organizing a party’.
”Fine.”
Yes! Our purpose– Huh? What was the current ‘Okay’ for?
“You’re saying we can’t use someone else?”
”Yes. You can use the ‘Earthshaking War Hammer’ over there. Or if you’re confident, you can persuade the ‘Princess Senko’ to come over.”
No, as expected of a big guy who’s busy with official business…or my own mother was feeling– no thanks.
”It’s fine if it’s the ‘Black Warrior’ that’s been the talk of the town lately.”
Don’t tell me this guy was trying to pull Shiva out of the beginning?
“Originally, the search test at the Ruins of Olympus will be conducted in teams of several people. Although this was an individual test for you, Haruto, we wanted to test your coordination and leadership skills as well as your individual abilities in a party game.”
What the hell, it was a party premise all along.
“Normally, students form teams. But this time the level of difficulty is very high, so I wasn’t comfortable with a party of students alone, but…Yes, that’s right. Let’s allow you to rely on someone else as a special case. You can choose me if you want, right?”
I feel somewhat uncomfortable, so I’ll refrain from doing so.
”Are you sure you’re okay with The Black Warrior?”
“Yes. Yes. I understand that your friend was also an expert in the recent disturbance in Royal Capital. But do you have any way of contacting them?”
Not at all, but I’ll figure it out.
“That kind of rooting and negotiating is also a necessary part of the aristocratic society. Good luck with that.”
“I have no idea what he’s thinking behind the scenes. Or is it all out in the open like Professor Tia says? That’s even more confusing.”
“Anyway, if we can get Shiva on board, we have a shot at winning.”
You’re right.
You’re not going to have to deal with an insanely strong monster or anything else. You’re going to be able to find out what’s going on in the world.
I’m not going to be able to get a good look at them. But I’m going to be able to make them think they’ve found the treasure through Shiva without them knowing I’m using such weird magic.
I’ll find the goods in question and bring back the goods in question while making Haruto Zenphis active there.
Just think of that, and then we’ll come up with a plan!
