Chapter 53

Knight Department exclusive personal training ground.

On the deck connected to the external training ground, Sharon Pierce sat in the seiza position, meditating.

A distant sound of footsteps.

Unexpectedly interrupted, Sharons eyebrows rose.

Sharon! I brought a letter for you.

The intruder turned out to be a fellow student from the same class.

She handed over an envelope with a nonchalant gesture.

Sharon accepted it without a word.

An envelope with the Pierce family seal.

An envelope with the Pierce family crest, a letter sent periodically to all family children from the family head.

Sharons hand trembled slightly, but her classmate didnt seem to notice.

Sharon Pierce read the letter.

The exterior was as cold as always, but her inner thoughts were not the same.

Encouraging words were written in a stern script, but, in essence, the content blamed Sharon for her own faltering growth.

Her mouth felt dry.

The expressionless face showed a faint hint of irritation.

Sharon looked up from the letter.

The girl who still stared at her, despite leaving.

Coldly, Sharon spoke.

Do you have business?

Uhm, Miss Sharon, would you like to have lunch together?

Not necessary.

B-but I just want to become a bit closer to you

Im busy. Thats it.

A clear rejection.

The fellow student left.

Phew.

Sharon let out a small sigh.

Anything that interferes with training is unnecessary. Friends, for example.

Even if they pretend to be friendly in front of her, when she listens carefully behind her back:

Honestly, if she didnt have the skills she would be just a useless girl.

Hey, lower your voice so she cant hear.

Hehe! But Miss Sharon is so talented. Isnt she cool? Hah, I really wish I could hold her pretty hand just once

You really are a p*rvert, a *ervert.

Such distancing comments could be heard.

But Sharon Pierce didnt care.

The Sword.

Only the sword.

Anything can be accepted and discarded for that path.

Ian Blackangers. She took him and discarded him mercilessly.

Even if she had to receive help from him, once he revealed an attachment, she had to cut it off firmly.

But he revived and got entangled with her again.

In that case, she would put him on the judgment seat of the disciplinary committee and wait for the judgment.

Emilia. And Aria.

If she was with them, it wouldnt be difficult.

Lina Rosewell probably needed to be check again.

Aria, the saint candidate, surely has no room for doubt in her talents. Id appreciate it if you could also pay attention to other students.

Hehehe! Looking closely, it seems like you, the manager, have a deep heart for taking care of the kids. Even if you were a cleric, you would have done well. Just looking at your face makes me want to watch over you.

Getting a job in the church might be somewhat strict, but it was stable.

It was a good workplace for students in the middle to lower class.

Just by exchanging greetings, even one more student could be observed.

Making even one student receive better evaluations.

That was the satisfaction that the position of department head could achieve in this Grade Assessment.

Of course, there were also entities that have slipped through his hands.

Women with striking fluorescent-colored and orange hair were noticeable at a glance.

They approached each other while they argued.

This term, we have quite high expectations, dont we? We need to recruit some magicians to our guild this time.

Hmph. Its a hundred or a thousand years too early for a guild to try to steal talent from the Magic Tower!

Magic Tower? Who goes to the Magic Tower these days? Only stupid kids like our pitiful broccoli get deceived into working at the Magic Tower. Poor treatment, poor working conditions.

Its not broccoli, its curly! And there is honor in the Magic Tower!

Honor feeds you? Why dont you quickly join the Event Horizon where your sister is? Ill make sure you get treated well.

Hmph. There are values that money cant buy. For example, Miss Emilia will never be recruited by the Mercy guild, you know?

Without giving the department head a chance to greet them, they entered the Grade Assessment area while bickering.

Dealing with magicians could be somewhat challenging, so it was fortunate.

Without a moment to sigh.

This time, the sound of metal colliding and friction was heard.

A knight of large stature wearing relatively light armor.

The plate with the lily symbolizing the empire engraved on it, signifying that he was a knight of the Imperial Guards Knights of the White Lily.

The department head lightly bowed in a military manner, and the other party also showed proper courtesy.

Ive come to see Sharon Pierce.

You wont regret the long journey.

Thank you.

After exchanging greetings with key figures.

Phew.

As the department head was about to breathe a sigh, a woman suddenly appeared in front of him.

White hair that seemed to extract starlight from the night sky. Deep navy-colored eyes and looks so young that you could almost mistake her for a cadet at first glance.

Deep indigo eyes, and a face so young you could almost mistake her for a student.

I want to see an unusual ability.

She spoke in a slow and dreamy voice, almost like speaking to herself.

She was a newcomer, but the golden-bordered name tag around her neck indicated that she was a considerable figure.

As she passed by the department head.

Huh!

For a moment, he felt a tremendous presence that felt like his heart was being squeezed, and then it disappeared.

The department head had encountered various masters, but experiencing such a sensation was the first time since the principal of Lichten.

In other words, the caliber of this seemingly young woman was comparable to the owner of Lichten.

Such mysterious beings occasionally appeared without warning.

This Grade Assessment is going to be quite significant.

The department head swallowed involuntarily.

Even looking back over the past few years, there hadnt been such a large number of external figures attending.

Just then, the voice of the announcer rang out.

The first measurement of this Grade Assessment is~~! Magic power measurement!

With tremendous enthusiasm, the Grade Assessment began.
