The next was, there'll be a written test.

It seemed to be the same regardless of the department, and it was mainly about general knowledge.

I haven't studied for it, but will it be okay?

I'd rather worry about Layla than myself.

She's not a smart girl.......

"It was easier than I thought."

I exhaled after the written exam.

Compared to the exam in my previous life, it was all basic and easy to solve.

Even if it wasn't a perfect score, I thought I would get a decent score.

"How about you, Layla?" (Ark)

"Don't worry! I filled it up all!" (Layla)

'That's, what the failures say......" (Ark)

You can't get a point for just filling in the blanks, can you?

Well, as long as she made up for it in the next practical exam, she would be fine.

Since the content of the practical exam was different for each department, I parted ways with Layla there for a while.

I headed to the martial arts department's venue.

I had been told that the chances of getting into the martial arts department were about three times greater.

Venue's capacity was 100 people, and the number of examinees here was about 300.

"Oi, he's that boy from earlier."

"Pfft, there's no way a [Classless] could get into the martial arts department."

There were people who pointed and laughed at me, perhaps they were the ones who were there at the appraisal test.

It's best to ignore them.

When all the candidates had gathered, the teacher explained the content of the test.

"You guys will take a practical test, in which you will defeat a monster. In this test, you will go to a predetermined hunting ground, where you will be evaluated on the number and quality of monsters you defeat within the time limit. For your safety and to keep the record of your achievements, each examinee will be accompanied by one student ."

Then an examiner to accompany me come.

She was an older sister of about 17 or 18.

"Are you Ark-kun?"

"Yes, I am." (Ark)

"I'm Melena, I'm in charge of the exam, I'm a third-year martial arts student. Nice to meet you." (Melena)

"Nice to meet you too." (Ark)

"So is it true that you are...... [Classless]?" (Melena)

I nodded.

"I see......, umm, it's very hard to say, but ......" (Melena)

Melena-san said with an apologetic look on her face.

"With you as a [Classless], even dealing with goblins is dangerous. Besides, even if you were able to defeat them by any chance, it's impossible for you to pass. I won't say anything bad about you, so I think it would be better for you to withdraw." (Melena)

"No, I'm not going to withdraw." (Ark)

I answer immediately.

"...... It says you're from a town called Faynot, which is probably pretty far away, right? I know you came all the way to take the exam and you can't bring yourself to give up. But, you know, you only have one life, right?" (Melena)

It wasn't like she was making fun of me, she simply worried about me.

"Thank you for your concern. But you don't need to worry about me." (Ark)

"......If you say that much ......" (Melena)

Merena-san felt that my intentions were firm, and she let out a sigh but nodded at the end.

There were three designated hunting grounds, apparently assigned in advance so that the examinees wouldn't be concentrated in one.

The one I headed to with Melena-san was a forest in the west of the city.

It seemed to be mainly inhabited by goblins, making it a beginner-friendly hunting ground.

The examinations had already begun, and the examinees were rushing into the forest ahead of me.

I have to hurry too.

The trees in the shallow part of the forest were sparse and the field of view was not bad.

However, the number of goblins seemed to be small.

Moreover, a large number of examinees were looking for goblins at once, so they were fighting over them.

There were several signs of goblins, but all of them seem to have signs of people nearby and were already being targeted.

I really didn't want to intercept them.

If things were going like this, it looked like I need to go deeper.

"It's best not to go too deep. There's a goblin's nest, too――from that way!? Wait a minute!" (Melena)

I could feel Melena-san yelling something from behind me, but I couldn't wait too long.

I walked deeper and deeper into the forest.

"Ho, how fast......! I can't believe we're going through the trees so effortlessly......."

It was not a good idea to leave Melena-san behind, so I set a pace that allowed her to follow me properly.

She's a student in the martial arts department, so she can afford this, right?

"Zee, zee......, wa, wait ......!" (Melena)

"I found it ......." (Ark)

I sensed a sign of a goblin and changed my direction to the right.

Beyond the grass, there was indeed a goblin.

"Gugeee?"

It was surprised to notice me.

I unleashed a thrust, piercing its heart.

The goblin fell to the spot without even have any chance to scream.

"Zee, zeee...... finally, I can catch up......, what's this?" (Melena)

Melena-san was surprised to see the fallen goblin.

"I defeated it. It'll be first." (Ark)

"Ze, zee, zee, ...... this is...... pierced right to the heart......? This, this is the first time... I've seen, such a beautiful way to defeat......." (Melena)

"We'll go next." (Ark)

"Oh, ......, wait a minute, ......?"

I looked for the next goblin and continued on deeper into the forest.

I took out the second, third, fourth, and so on.

Eventually, when I had killed the fifteenth one, I stopped.

Melena-san, who caught up with me later, was breathing hard a little.

"Zee Haa ...... how, how is it possible to find goblins so easily ......?" (Melena)

"......? You can tell by the sign, can't you?" (Ark)

"By the sign......?" (Melena)

"More than that, Look at there. There's probably a goblin nest over there." (Ark)

"......" (Melena)

I stopped for a moment because I found a cave that looked like a goblin's nest.

I could feel countless goblins moving inside.

"It, it's dangerous? We have to head back right now." (Melena)

"Eh? Why? Of course I'll go there? It's a great opportunity for me." (Ark)

"Ha? Ah, wait a minute......! You've already met the passing range......!" (Melena)

I felt like Melena-san shouted something to me, but I jumped into the goblin's nest, hoping to pass the exam.
