Chapter 83 Strongest Sage, Observes the Rightfulness of His Warning

" . . . Ee . We will now begin the magic test!"

The examiner for magic test declared that after a target mark had been set in front of Iris .

It seemed the principal had warned him beforehand, he sounded tense .

And then the examiner retreated 10 meter back .

" . . . Um, examiner-san . "

"What's wrong? I won't answer questions concerning a way to tackle the test–"

"I think you should get back a bit more . . . . "

"There should be no danger at this distance–well, I guess there's no harm in doing so . "

While saying that the examiner retreated another 10 meter back .

"Is this fine?"

"No, please get back three times that distance . "

"T-that's quite far . . . . "

Even while saying that, the examiner retreated back again .

The examiner's location isn't written in the rule, it's probably why he can cope with it flexibly .

"You can't be trying to cheat by keeping the examiner away do you?"

The principal talked to me when he saw that .

I see . Cheating is another way to look at it huh .

However, unfortunately, wrong answer .

"No . This is necessary . "

" . . . Can't the girl use magic when there's someone nearby?"

"Nothing like that . This is purely for the sake of the examiner's safety . "

Having said that, I get ready to cast a magic .

I look at Iris who shouts out .

"Here I go!"

Iris developed a magic in her hand, pointed her palm at the target and shot it .

The magic Iris shot flew straight–toward us .

Not toward the prepared target .

"Right from the start!"

While shouting, I unfolded the defense magic I had prepared in front of me and the principal .

Iris's magic hit my defensive magic and exploded, creating a crater in front of me .

"I-I'm sorry!"

Iris deployed another magic while apologizing .

This time the magic flew to the sky . Not even a fragment of control .

I guess it's a good thing that it wasn't hitting a building .

In the end, the second magic Iris shot exploded in the air, and dozens of roasted birds fell from the sky .

By the way the target is unscathed .

Since none of Iris's magic has managed to hit it .

" . . . What is that . A calamity class monster or something?"

"Probably something similar to that . "

Iris had a conflicted look on her face while we were being shocked .

And then, she looked determined about something and glared at the target .

"I've got no choice but to do that . . . "

Iris began to unfold her third magic .

However, this magic seems different than her magic so far .

Its power is higher than the two before .

"What is she trying to do?"

"You'll see . "

I taught her to use this tactic in case she failed to do it with normal ones .

As a way to clear the exam for sure even if she has no control .

"Soi!"

Iris squatted down while shouting–and pushed the deployed magic onto the ground .

The next moment, explosions happened on Iris's hands .

""Wha . . . ""

The principal and examiner were surprised when they saw Iris getting swallowed up in the explosions .

The principal froze for an instant, but he immediately pulled himself and tried to run toward Iris .

"This is bad! We have to rescue her quick–"

"There's no need for that . "

I held the running principal back while saying that .

The dust of cloud caused by the explosion in front of us cleared–

And Iris showed up from inside of that, unhurt .

" . . . Wha?"

The principal beside me sounded dumbfounded .

"Finished destroying the target! How was it!"

Iris asked the examiner .

"H-how, you ask . . . "

The examiner was perplexed at Iris's question .

No surprise there .

The place where Iris was has turned into a crater, the target along with the ground it was on has completely disappeared .

You can't even tell where the target was now .

"No no, this is just weird . . . "

The principal muttered .

"Well, that's the kind of creature Iris is . "

Even the current me would have a hard time firing a magic with that much power .

If we're just talking about firepower, you could even say that she's the school's strongest .

In overall strength, Iris should be right after me .

" . . . As for the exam result, we can't judge it right now . We'll grade it at a later date . But you most likely won't fail this . . . . Ah . The schoolyard . . . "

The principal muttered listlessly .

I told you . You should have given up the magic exam .
