Chapter 97

Thank you for reporting the typo!

Good morning.

Thanks to the dragon stamp I made yesterday, my work became much easier, so I didn't have any nightmares!

Today's weather is rainy.

During the written exam in the morning, the sound-gathering magical device was finally finished, and all I had to do was hand it over!

Since Shell arranged everything, I spent the time thinking about what to make next until lunchtime.

In the morning, the former goddess took a seat near me, and Cavendish, who was sitting in the center, was left alone.

The former president of the student council sat next to me with a smug look, but I wanted to say, "That doesn't mean you were chosen!"

So, we sat near the entrance and quickly finished our meal and left.

In the afternoon, we have the practical magic exam.

It's on the muddy field after the rain.

For some reason, the S-class and F-class are taking the exam together.

I asked the Chief Tails who was standing next to me,

"Why are we with the F-class? (Why are we with the F-class?)"

And he replied,

"The students in the F-class have unstable magic control, so they take the exam with the S-class who can handle any situation."

I didn't expect to be close to them during the exam, even though I was away from them at lunch.

Everyone nearby is staring at me, and I'm getting really tired of it.

When it was time, we lined up by class.

The target is hit with magic orbs of your dominant attribute, and the score is determined by how many orbs it takes to destroy the target.

The targets are set at a considerable distance, but barriers are placed between them in case of accidents.

The former goddess stands right next to the barrier, ignoring the F-class exam and watching Arshain and others.

She's losing points just for her attitude.

"Mr. Keta, is she really a former goddess?"

"Seems so. The gods said so."

"But she looks like an ordinary girl?"

"Maybe because she doesn't have the power of a god?"

"But she doesn't seem to have any special qualities?"

"Well, it's strange that she could even get into this school."

"What do you mean?"

"Former goddesses shouldn't have any magic power, right?"

"Is that true?"

"The gods took away all her power and made her human."

"If the gods said so, then it includes magic power, right?"

"Probably, the gods really dislike the former goddess."

"But if they dislike her so much, would they take away her magic power? Besides, those without magic power can't even take the entrance exam for this school."

"Maybe she used the power of a spirit?"

"Even if she could communicate with a spirit, would it lend her its power so easily?"

"The spirit is a former lower god, so it might listen to her."

"Was the lower god demoted to a spirit by the former goddess?"

"Seems so, the former goddess had it cooperate."

"I see, if she was a lower god under the former goddess, the relationship might have continued. If she used the spirit's power to cheat her way into the school, we should talk to the principal. We need to observe this practical exam carefully!"

"Can you tell if a spirit uses magic?"

"Yes, if you observe carefully, you can tell if the person or the spirit used the magic. The spirit's body glows faintly when it uses magic!"

That's very clear.

"Didn't you notice during the transfer exam?"

"I wasn't there, so I don't know, but they probably didn't notice."

Anyway, I focused on the former goddess's magic. The exam was going smoothly, and some F-class students were muddy, while the S-class students were completely clean. The difference in skill is evident.

After a few students, Eliza and the former goddess stood in front of the target. They glared at the target seriously and cast their spells almost simultaneously.

As the Chief Tails said, a faint shadow appeared around the former goddess when she cast her spell, and the spell came from the shadow. No magic power came from the former goddess herself.

Eliza's first shot almost destroyed the target, and the former goddess's shot did significant damage, though not as much.

"Did you see that, Mr. Keta?"

"It was the spirit's power, wasn't it?"

"Yes, I'm sure of it."

Eliza's second shot destroyed the target, and the former goddess took three more shots to do the same.

It was a great achievement for the F-class, and her classmates were praising her.

There were three S-class students left: Digree, Yegram, and Arshain.

They each destroyed the target with one shot and finished quickly.

The F-class students, who looked terrified, were backing away, while the former goddess was staring at the three with admiration.

The S-class finished the exam early and dispersed.

Some F-class students tried to leave, but the Chief Tails stopped them.

Since the F-class students take longer to destroy the target, even though the number of students is similar, they were only halfway through.

I set up a few monitoring magical devices as requested by the Chief Tails and left with Arshain and others.

Today, they are renting a training facility for physical enhancement training.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Fufufu, fufufu fufufu fufufu"

They are laughing in great spirits.

The young ladies who usually admire them from a distance are now backing away.

They look like they're high on some dangerous drug.

After the exam, they plan to report to the knight's guild, but I can only imagine a terrifying future.

"What's going on with them? Did they get drugged?"

Shell appeared behind me without a sound!

It's scary, please stop!

"That's what happens when you enhance your physical strength."

"......This weekend, they plan to report to the knight's guild. What will happen with them......"

"That's scary."

"Yes, we should come up with a good excuse and avoid the knight's training ground!"

Shell has a terrible plan!

I'll try to make a magical device and pretend not to notice!

But I haven't decided what to make yet.

"Sheryu, what kind of magical device do you want?"

"A new magical device? Well, I don't have any particular problems, so I can't think of anything right away."

"Hmm, is there anything?"

"If I had to say, maybe a transportation magical device? Traveling by carriage is sometimes inconvenient."

"Transportation, like this?"

"The oval shape suits Mr. Keta, but it might be a bit awkward for adults to ride."

Mr. Kail, the intellectual yakuza, was the first to ride it!

While chanting "transport, transport, transport," the first thing that came to mind was a snowboard.

As someone from the Tohoku region, skiing and snowboarding were part of my daily life.

I also saw a movie where a car traveled through time, and the future version had a board without wheels. That sounds good, right?

Let's make it!

In a world with magic, you can make things even if you don't fully understand the principles. The monitor magical device even reproduced the functions of a TV I imagined, with sound and images!

For the main body, I used a board made from a large monster's bone. It's light, the right size, strong, and flexible. The color is a deep silver, smoky silver, very cool!

I drew a few squares inside a circle for gravity reduction, magic adjustment, automatic repair, and safety.

The magic adjustment allows for speed and height control.

The safety feature picks you up automatically if you fall.

To make it easy to use daily, I made the foot bindings less rigid and created a slight indentation for the feet.

It ended up being more like a skateboard than a snowboard.

It should be fine once you get used to it. Probably.

I placed a magic stone and burned it in. Completed.

"Sheryu, here it is!"

"......Um, Mr. Keta? What is this board?"

"Wow! Did you make a snowboard, Keta? But the snow season is over, right?"

Sosuke appeared.

"This can fly in the air even without snow!"

"Really? You made a futuristic vehicle? That's amazing, Keta! Do you have one for me?"

"I made it for you first to test it out!"

"Ah, an experiment. Got it, I'm probably the most familiar with it!"

"Once you channel magic, the rest is adjustable."

"Got it, got it! Let's give it a try!"

Sosuke took the board, placed it on the ground, and stepped on it, channeling magic.

The board floated up.

He moved forward and backward by adjusting the angle of his feet.

At first, he moved slowly, but soon he started flying higher and faster.

After a few minutes, Sosuke returned,

"Hahaha! This is awesome! It doesn't drain much magic, and you can change direction freely with your feet! It's exactly like a snowboard!"

He praised it with a big smile.

Since there were no issues, I decided to make more for the others!

Digrée and the others were as excited as twin princes with their favorite food in front of them.

I made and distributed boards for the usual members, plus the Chief Tails and Mr. Kail, the intellectual yakuza.

Mr. Kail had already received a transportation magical device before!

Without any difficulty, the athletic group mastered it in about ten minutes,

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Fufufu, fufufu fufufu fufufu"

They were laughing.

Shell was flying silently but with a silly grin.

The young ladies were gradually moving away.

Later, when I gave the board to Mr. Kail, he laughed loudly, misadjusted the magic, fell off the board, and was scolded by the Chief Tails.

Well, since everyone was very grateful and praised me, it was worth it.

Regarding the schedule for the end of the year and the beginning of the next, from January to the end of March, updates will be irregular due to work.

The commuting time will also be longer, so the update times will vary.

The stock has also decreased, so daily updates may be difficult.
