The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 103: Preparation for the First Examination
Time continued to pass and did not feel it was now the middle of September. And in the meantime....
~Fire Piercing Arrow~
Chloe shot her arrow at me but I managed to dodge the arrow. After dodging the arrow, I immediately rushed off towards Chloe. Yet...
~Waves Slash~
Charles came to confront me and immediately launched an attack on me. But I retaliated with my attack.
~Flame Slash~
Our attacks collided for a moment but I managed to repel Charles.
~Fire Rain Arrow~
Meanwhile Chloe continued to attack me with her arrow, I continued to dodge the arrow and drove towards it and until I finally managed to point my sword towards Chloe.
"It looks like it's just here, Chloe," I said.
"You're right, we lost again this time" Chloe said.
It's my umpteenth win against Charles and Chloe. This is not a daily match, but just an ordinary match. About a month ago, Charles took me to a match practice and took Chloe with him. He said he wanted to train his attack combination with Chloe, so he chose me as the opponent to increase their combination. I totally agree. We only do match practice when the class is teaching practice lessons at the training ground because not all lesson hours are used for practice only, but not all, there were hours left to practice on our own in that lesson so we used the rest of those hours for match practice.
"Rid is so powerful, isn't it ? When the remaining hours were in practice lessons, he always practiced sparring against princes and princesses yet he continued to defeat them both,"
"You're right. If it were me, fighting one of them alone would be impossible for me to win, let alone fight them both at once" said the students who saw me.
"You guys haven't been able to defeat me yet, but at least every time you train against me, I can see that your combination of attacks is increasing" I said.
"I also feel that way, although a little upset about always losing against you" Chloe said.
Chloe was initially quiet and daydreaming when she found out about my relationship with Irene the first time but over time she acted back as usual.
"What can you do, Chloe ? what we are fighting is Rid loh, he has not lost a single one in the daily game" said Charles.
"You're right, brother. Rid is the only student who has not lost in the first year and therefore many students are curious to try to beat Rid but still can not" said Chloe.
"Aren't you troubled by that, Rid ? because every day there are students who come to challenge you and want to beat you" said Charles.
"It's good for me, because I don't have any more hassles to find opponents who want to play against me in daily matches" I said.
"Yes, you have a point" Charles said.
As we chatted, suddenly Mr. Alan spoke to all of us
"Consideration, everyone," said Mr. Alan.
The students who had previously focused on their respective affairs looked towards Mr. Alan.
"Because at the end of this month there is the first exam in the school year, from now until the exam arrives you will continue to practice at this training ground when the class starts. So when you arrive at the academy, you just go down to this training ground and don't have to go to class anymore because from the beginning of the lesson to the end of the lesson, we will continue in this training ground" said Mr. Alan.
"Ready, sir," said the other students.
"That's my notice, because the hours of today's lesson are coming to an end. You guys just get ready to go home" said Mr. Alan.
"Okay, sir," said the other students.
"Because in the future we will be on the training ground continuously, means we will practice the match. In the future please help again, Rid," said Charles.
"Yes, take it easy" I said.

In the afternoon after finishing the daily match today, I returned to the dormitory. When I wanted to unlock my dormitory door, it turned out that my dormitory door wasn't locked.
"It looks like Irene is inside," I thought.
I went straight into my dorm and saw Irene cooking in my dorm kitchen. Realizing that I had come, Irene looked up at me.
"Welcome, Rid," said Irene.
"Yes, I'm home" I said.
Since the incident some time ago, I finally agreed to give the key of my dorm to Irene. But I gave him a duplicate key I made myself because if I gave him my dorm key, I wouldn't have the key to lock my dorm when I left. And ever since I gave you that duplicate key, Irene always cooked in my dorm when I wasn't there or when I was in the dorm. After she finished cooking, we usually always ate together but sometimes there was Lea and Lily who also ate together in my dorm. Many other first-year students who saw Irene were always in or out of my dorm and those who saw it started spreading rumors that my relationship with Irene was getting more intimate.
"Well, I'm glad that we were both thought to be friendly and did not raise suspicion that our relationship was actually fake. But every time I go back to the dorm and see Irene cooking somehow I feel like I'm married to Irene" I thought.
After Irene finished cooking, we both ate together.

A week before the exam begins.
"I will teach you a technique that is very useful to you when facing enemies. But some of you have been able to use this technique so I will teach you who haven't" said Mr. Alan.
I was curious about what Mr. Alan said that some of us could use the technique he said. When Mr. Alan practiced the technique it turned out that the technique was magic manipulation and mana.
"Had he said that some of us could already use that technique. It seems like this technique should have been taught in the academy but I instead taught this technique to my friends first," I thought.
I listened to Mr. Alan's explanation when teaching the technique to the other students.
"Hei Rid, since we have mastered the technique, why don't we just practice the match ? Instead of getting tired of just listening to Mr. Alan's explanation," asked Charles.
"All right," I said.
"Chloe, do you want to come too?" asked Charles.
"Sorry, brother. This time I want to train to fight Irene" said Chloe.
"Well then" said Charles.
After a few days of my relationship with Irene being known, Chloe also became more familiar with Irene. They often walk together or practice fighting together. Irene also did not feel bothered by Chloe's invitation even though she had previously appeared to avoid Chloe.
"In that case, I will be your partner this time, Charles," Noa said.
"Are you sure, Noa?" asked Charles.
"Of course, let's beat Rid together in this match practice," said Noa.
"Well, you don't mind, do you, Rid?" asked Charles.
"No problem" I said.
"Alright, then let's attack Rid, Charles," Noa said excitedly.
The match practice between me and the two of them took place and in the end they still lost against me.

"Before I finish this lesson, I'll tell you what kind of test you're going to do next week" said Mr. Alan.
The students quietly listened to Mr. Alan's explanation.
"The test you will be working on is almost like the entrance exam of the second stage academy before" said Mr. Alan.
"Test entered the second stage ?,"
"That means the test is destroying the wooden doll again ?,"
"When are we in this academy every day fighting against other students in daily matches, but during the test we are even against wooden puppets again ? Isn't that too easy?" said the other students.
"Well easy or not you will see next week, then because the learning is finished, you can disperse" said Mr. Alan.
-
After a daily match, we walked back to the dormitory.
"According to Mr. Alan, next week's exam is similar to the second stage entrance exam. Looks like it'll be easy huh?," asked Noa.
"See, I'm not sure about that. Indeed, Mr. Alan said the exam was similar to the second stage entrance exam, but he did not say that the difficulty level would be the same," I said.
"You have a point, Rid," said Noa.
"Well whatever test we're going to have, we just need to finish it right?" I asked.
"You are right" said Noa

Then a week later, the first exam for first-year students in this school year began.
