Chapter 98 (1)
Since it was right after the midterm exams, the instructors didn\'t teach the lessons too intensely and tried their best to create a relaxed atmosphere.
In Robolt\'s case, he showed us a magic demonstration…….
There wasn\'t really anything to learn, but it was quite interesting and fun.
Just as I was about to get up from my seat.
“You!”
Fron\'s voice could be heard.
She was glaring at me with a smug expression on her face.I blinked and looked at Fron.
“What is it?”
“Let\'s make a bet!”
“A bet out of nowhere……”
I tilted my head at Fron, who was shrugging her shoulders and puffing out her chest.
Did she eat something wrong for lunch?
Fron started acting up when she saw the worried expression on my face.
“It\'s not anything weird like you\'re thinking...!”
“Then what kind of bet do you want to make?”
I couldn\'t understand what she was trying to say at all.
She needs to tell me what kind of bet she wants to make so I can know.
It can\'t be a strange bet.
I was trying to guess what kind of bet Fron wanted to make.
“It\'s probably that.”
Luna, who had approached Fron and me, opened her mouth.
What is it?
“I would appreciate a proper explanation, but what kind of bet are you talking about?”
“The midterm exam scores are going to be released soon, so I think she wants to make a bet on that.”
“You\'ve hit the nail on the head. Now that I see it, you too have the potential to be my slave.”
“Uh, huh? That\'s a bit... I\'m sorry...!”
Luna flatly refused Fron\'s request to be her slave.
But she was still glancing at Fron and fidgeting.
I guess you could say she looked like an introverted child refusing a favor from an older sibling.
I shook my head and said to Luna,
“Don\'t worry about it. She\'s just joking.”
“Th, that\'s right. Anyway, it seems like the test results are out. Do you want to go and see them together?”
“Okay.”
I nodded at Luna\'s suggestion and got up from my chair.
In order to enter Sytan\'s armory again, I needed to get excellent grades like last time.
It was a moment when I could expect Ares to give me a good score.
Considering that he had given me Sijo, I didn\'t think he would have given me a low score.
Should I expect a little?
‘Come to think of it…….’
I should wake Samuel up since he needs to check his score too.
I breathed a small amount of mana into the thorn.
Then the thorn quivered and Samuel’s gruff voice flowed out.
[……You’re interrupting my sleep. What happened again?]
“They say the midterm scores have been released. Let’s check them together.”
[Hmm, if that’s the case.]
Samuel readily accepted, wondering about his score.
He had no choice.
He risked his life to fight Terias, so there was no way he would get a low score.
At least my score and Samuel’s score would be close to perfect.
Unlike Samuel and me, who were excited, Luna looked anxious.
“I wonder if I did well…….”
“Are you worried?”
“Yeah, you know I don’t have any money. I need the scholarship and living expenses that are coming out this time…….”
“I see.”
In Sytan, living expenses and scholarships are given according to the difference in grades.
In fact, living expenses were not necessary for the students.
Since Sytan also lent out training equipment, there was no need to prepare personal equipment.
Of course, it would be nice to have some.
“The most urgent thing is the scholarship, right?”
“Yeah, I have to get it.”
Luna nodded.
In the case of me, Samuel, and Fron, we were exempted from tuition fees because we received excellent grades in the entrance exam.
Unless something special happens, we won’t have to pay tuition in the future.
Sytan needed excellent commanders who could participate in the war, so they favored talented students like me and Samuel.
That didn’t mean they charged a huge amount of tuition to ordinary students.
However, for Luna, who was half-dark Elf and ostracized by Dark Elf society, even that would be a difficult expense to afford.
I comforted Luna.
“You’ll do well. Even if you don’t get it, I have a way to get the tuition.”
“……If you’re going to pay for me, there’s no need for that. I don’t want to receive it from, a friend.”
Luna seemed to be bothered by the fact that she owed me money, so she quickly expressed her refusal.
In response, I smiled and opened my mouth.
“If you need my help, please tell me anytime. I heard it all from the medical instructor.”
“Wh, what? What……?”
“She said that you kept healing my body while I was in surgery. I should have thanked you in advance.”
“Th, that’s…….”
Luna had taken care of me during the surgery.
As I said that, Luna’s face instantly turned red.
Her reaction was quite amusing.
Rather, didn’t Luna need to worry about such a thing in the first place?
‘She must have gotten a good score.’
It was highly likely that she didn\'t get a good score in Ares\' weaponary exam.
However.
She wouldn\'t have gotten bad scores in the theory and magic tests.
And during the midterm exam, she saved many students with her healing abilities, so the instructors had no reason to give her a bad score.
Luna would have easily achieved a high score.
