Making my way through the crowd, I somehow managed to get close enough to the notice board that I could read the words.

My candidate number is [0415].

Since the topmost number of the third column from the left is [0377], and the bottommost number is [0465], I searched for my number within that column.

[0401……0403……0415…… It"s there!] (Varius)

That scared me.

I felt a chill just from seeing the sudden skip in 12 numbers.

While having those thoughts, I moved my eyes towards the examination results.

The results were as follows:

[Written exam   : 40/40

 Combat exam  : 30/30 

 Magic exam   : 30/30 

 Pa.s.sing marks : 100/100 

 Standard score : 101.2 ]

Standard score…some rather nostalgic term just popped up. 

Since unlike my past life, there aren"t any mock examinations, which means I didn"t have the opportunity to measure my standard score.

What"s more, for it to exceed 100.

Feeling a great delight at having obtain a result that I would not regret even in my past life, I left the notice board.

……If I recall, those who have pa.s.sed should go and collect their student handbook and textbooks.

With that in mind, I was about to follow the route shown by information board when a man called out to me.

[Aren"t you…you are the child who helped me out with my carriage together with Caucases!] (Man)

I turned towards the source of the voice… Definitely, that man was the one who was riding on the carriage we helped out.

[Did you come to study in Elite Academy? I don"t think I need to ask but…did you manage to pa.s.s without any problem?] (Man)

[Yes, I have properly pa.s.sed the exam.] (Varius)

I replied with a smile.

……Still, why is this man here?

[Are you a lecturer of Elite Academy?] (Varius)

I tried asking what would most likely be the case.

But…the reply I got exceeded my expectations.

[You see, I am the vice-chairman of the Board of Education, and I came here for an inspection.] (Vice-Chairman)

…This guy, he"s actually quite the bigwig isn"t he?

Now that he mentioned it, when I think back to his attire when he came out of the carriage, it did feel pretty high-cla.s.s.

But…as to why he picked today of all days to conduct an inspection, I do not know.

[Is there something to be gained from inspecting the examinees" results?] (Varius)

[As it is my job, I am afraid I have no choice in the matter. 『The upper echelons of the Board of Education are to provide excellent freshmen the privilege to skip a single unit』, that is the kind of system we have. As part of that effort, I have the duty of verifying the examinees who have pa.s.sed.  ] (Vice-chairman)

[I see…] (Varius)

So that"s why.

Well, its true that [For some discipline, a student whose proficiency is such that taking cla.s.ses would just be a waste of time] or something to that extent would be elevated to a higher level.

It"s quite a reasonable system.

[At the end of the day, it is just the possibility of being granted the privilege, and since I personally view this system in a negative light, this privilege has not been granted very often… However…] (Vice-chairman)

The man cut off his sentence for a moment.

[……Exam candidate number 0415. Do you see that? That examinee produced an unprecedented full marks right? When I saw that, even I was at a loss.] (Vice-Chairman)

I see. 0415, I pray that you would find h—…wait a minute.

[Err…] (Varius)

Getting his attention, I showed him my candidate number.

[……Well what do you know, so you are 0415! All right then, no complaints here. This…is yours.] (Vice-chairman)

The man presented an envelope to me.

The envelope had [Contains single unit exemption form] written on it.

[……Thank you very much.] (Varius)

[Yeah. Please use your time for something productive, to the best of your abilities!] (Vice-chairman)

With that, I stored the letter using storage magic and bid him farewell. This time for sure, I left to collect my student handbook and textbooks.

After collecting my textbooks, student handbook, as well as various enrollment doc.u.ments, I went over to the canteen for lunch and to look over the course materials.

By the way, if one shows the person-in-charge their student handbook, they are ent.i.tled to up to 90 free meals each month.

It would be great if I could complete the various procedures quickly… First off, I should decide on my timetable.

While I"m doing so, I"ll look out for subjects which I can skip.

[Etto……] (Varius)

I opened the book and looked through the pages.

For the core subjects, Fundamentals of Magic Theory and Fundamentals of Strategies are only graded based on the final exam. Guess I"ll be skipping those then.

Though the Practical Magic Training has partic.i.p.ation marks…at the end of the day, it"s just an insurance for the finals. Guess I"ll be skipping that then.

The grades for Practical Labyrinth Activities are determined by the number of monsters subjugated during the school term, huh… As I can just single-mindedly raise my results in a short time, this seems like a good skip as well.

From the general electives, I think I"ll go with "Introduction to Cooperation Between Professions" and "Introduction to the Kingdom"s History".

For the latter, the partic.i.p.ation marks are only 10%, and one can get full marks by the end of the term if the report submitted is deemed to be the best. Skip it is.

The former is focused on the fieldwork and it would be fine as long as the report is submitted by the end of the term. There pretty much aren"t any formal cla.s.ses for this one.

Seems like I have to pick two units from the list of free electives.

The first one, [Way of Life of a Tamer] should be fine. I"m originally a Tamer after all. The grades are decided only at the end of the term huh? Skip.

For the remaining one, I can just use the exemption letter to —— huh?

……Well what do you know, I"m skipping the entire upcoming school term.

In the first place, what I want to accomplish is [To spread the correct teachings of a Tamer and improve the Tamers" labour conditions].

To that end, as long as I can graduate with excellent results, focusing on extracurricular activities and increasing my achievements while completing my schoolwork should be the correct decision for me.

Well I"ve received the textbooks, rather than going around in circles trying to figure out how to achieve my end goal, I"m better off preparing countermeasures for the end of the upcoming school term… It might be a good idea to travel to different towns using the Nimbus Cloud.

Having made a decision…as a preparation for the journey, I ordered the maximum amount of food my student handbook would allow and stored them using my storage magic.

A few days later.

After completing the various course registration, I got onto the Numbus Cloud and…… arrived in the town next to the town the Elite Academy is in — Merkels.

The Merkels Adventurer Guild in right in front of me.

My adventurer life, start!
