Chapter 120

A pop quiz! Epherene focused on attacking the problems with only her skills. However, from the first sentence of the first problem, the length of the calculation, which was a mixture of numbers and circuits, neared infinity.

“Ugh…”

Epherene envisioned the magic circle in her head. But, as something went wrong-

Whoosh—!

A fire burned in the air. Just then, Kreto raised his hand.

“Professor. You said we can discuss between us?”

“Just as I said. However, I will ask you all if you understood the question.”

Kreto glanced secretly to Rose Rio, but she was already in a trance. Iron-colored mana sparkled in her eyes. They said that when you reach the etheric level, your mana also becomes unique. As expected of Rose Rio, even her aura was metallic.

“…Ah.”

Epherene was captivated for a moment, but she shook it off and turned her eyes down to the test paper again, starting the full-scale calculations. She began scribing complicated formulas on the magical answer sheet.

“Epherene…?”

Suddenly, Drent called out to her quietly. Epherene spared him a glance.

“How about this?”

Drent coughed and showed her his answer. The beginning of his first answer was similar to Epherene’s, but after that, there were a lot of errors.

“Yeah. Here, I calculated these two parts separately and then joined them.”

“Oh yeah? I did it all at once.”

“That makes it harder. Wouldn’t it be better to do it the easier way?”

“…I find it harder when I do it separately.”

“I’ll do it for you. Look”

“Okay.”

While the two of them were discussing together-

Jump-!

Suddenly, Rose Rio stood and approached Deculein.

“Here.”

Then, she handed over her answer sheet. Deculein barely skimmed over it before glancing back to her and nodding indifferently.

“You passed. Go inside.”

There was another passage to which Deculein beckoned. Rose Rio left first, followed by the red-haired Munchkin.

“Me too.”
