"Designation."

An arrow shoots out.

One.

Two.

Three...

It passes over the human soldiers one by one.

Soon, the arrow reached the human soldier who was directly in front of Idea.

Even I was surprised at the growth of my ability.

Because the distance between me and Idea was at least a hundred meters.

'Has it already grown to this extent?'

A frightening growth rate.

Even if it was impossible to control the battlefield, it was enough to annihilate one of the enemy's units.

'No more distractions.'

When I didn't move, Idea looked at me with pity in her eyes.

At this, I chanted the incantation again.

"Move."

In that instant.

Space warped.

I bypassed the soldiers and arrived before Idea.

I didn't even feel the need to unleash my other abilities.

I simply pointed my dagger at Idea's throat.

And a heavy silence flowed.

“……”

Idea blinked blankly.

Did that mean she didn't even realize what was happening?

Or was she relying on the Mana Shield that was faintly shimmering at the tip of my dagger?

One thing was for sure.

I had succeeded in subduing Idea.

For a Mage to show an opening to an Assassin meant death.

"Will this pass?"

"Ha."

A chuckle escaped Idea's lips as I asked mockingly.

There was definitely a smile on her lips, but for some reason, an inexplicable fear crept over me.

Was it just my imagination?

Idea, who had been looking at me with a strange glint in her eyes, muttered,

“……I think I understand why Senior asked me to keep an eye on you."

"Pardon?"

"You pass. Return to your seat."

"Yes? Yes, I understand."

I felt a sense of trepidation.

I hadn't expected it to go this smoothly.

The emotion Idea had shown me was clear hostility.

But it had suddenly changed to a look of interest.

It was difficult to guess what had changed her mind.

But I thought I knew one thing for sure.

'It must be the special nature of the Sytan working.'

If one possessed outstanding abilities, Sytan guaranteed them appropriate treatment.

That meant they would be heavily involved in combat, but they would also be given some leeway during peacetime.

I didn't know what action of mine had caused Ares and Idea to be wary of me.

But since my talent seemed to be extraordinary, they had changed their attitude.

I didn't know why Ares kept watching me…….

'It can't be that he's figured out that I'm a descendant of Arsene.'

If that were the case, he would have tried to kill me immediately.

But since he hadn't, it seemed that he hadn't yet discovered my bloodline.

'Well, it doesn't matter.'

I would highlight my talent without revealing the full extent of my abilities.

I just had to keep acting the way I had been.

With that thought in mind, I returned to my seat, and it was the other students' turn.

- Die, you human bastards!

- Die!

The students were stronger than I expected.

Although they were students who had not passed the entrance exam with excellent grades, the fact that they were Demons remained unchanged.

It wasn't difficult for them to subdue a few human soldiers without any special abilities.

Cough...!!

These humans are strong...!

...Of course, there were some students who seemed to be struggling.

Still, the majority of the students possessed the ability to subdue the human soldiers.

But that was it.

Stab-.

Idea, who had been watching the situation from behind, began to command the human soldiers.

The soldiers surrounded the students who had been running wild and stabbed them from a distance with their spears.

In the end, the students failed due to their accumulated wounds.

One student suddenly jumped high and charged towards Idea, but would the human soldiers only use spears and swords?

Pew-.

The soldiers shot arrows.

The student who had jumped up was pierced by dozens of arrows and became like a hedge-hog.

It was quite clever, but it failed.

Quite some time had passed, yet I was still the only one who had passed the class.

It was here that I once again felt the deceitfulness of the Position Exchange.

'They can't even be compared to ordinary students.'

If only my skills were sufficient, I would have easily surpassed even the children of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Moreover, if I could increase my proficiency in Position Exchange and grasp the exact activation criteria, it would be amazing.

The Imperial Academy offered huge rewards to students who showed excellent results.

In Sytan, where a single talent is precious, the probability of receiving a better reward was higher.

They even gave me an artifact just because I passed the entrance exam with excellent grades.

Therefore, it was necessary to maintain high grades.

If I was going to do it, I might as well aim for the best.

Now that I think about it, being ranked 1st in my class might be more doable than I thought.

There was a time when I had such thoughts.

Until a student came out.

…….

Everyone held their breath.

It felt as if their breathing had stopped.

The moment that student stepped out, the air around him seemed to distort.

“……I shall begin.”

As his turn came, the student who walked out spread his arms and clasped his hands together.

Then, purple mana surged around the student, and a cool wind began to envelop the surroundings.

Soon.

Samuel, his magic swept over the human soldiers and Idea.
