Chapter 23: Magic power measurement
The guild master sent his daughter especially for my registration and to tell me my class is SSS and I’m exempt from tests. For a person like me to take the adventurer exam it should be a proper and formal one.
“I’m sorry for troubling you.”
Silvy was being apologetic, but I shook my head.
“To go through the procedures that should be required for people like me. Silvy has nothing to worry about.”
Silvy’s cheeks slightly became red and she nodded in agreement when I said that.
Why did she blush at the end?
“Oi, did you the expression Silvy did?”
“No, but in my case Silvy never even smiled at me.”
“Shit, that bastard… Who cares if he’s the savior something, he shouldn’t get carried away!”
I was hearing such voices, it seems they’ve misunderstood something.
There is no reason for women to like people like me.
At best, even the orphanage girls see me as a foster parent.
“Ehm, Master, Silvy isn’t an orphan right?”
“The bed is not enough either.”
“Shii thinks the number 3 is beautiful.”
The girls were saying things like that. I wonder why though.
While they were in middle of talking to each other, Silvy was preparing the exam.
On the table counter she put a transparent crystal.
“It’s a crystal for magic power measurement. It is said that the closer it gets to black it stronger it is. If it’s somewhat grey then it is either C or D rank, but if it’s fully grey it is B rank. After if it shows hinges of black then it is either A or S rank. Pitch black doesn’t exist anywhere on the continent!”
“Is that so, let me see.”
“Ah, wait a bit please!”
I wanted to immediately put my hand on it but I stopped due to the flustered Silvy.
What’s wrong?
“I’m sorry about earlier, but making an exam for Naomi-sama is difficult…”
“Hm? What are you on about?”
“What I said about earlier is that the crystal can measure about A or S class. There was an experiment where 10 S-class adventurers poured their magic power in it. In that case the crystal broke.”
I understand, so it’s like that.
“So basically what you are saying if I try to measure myself the crystal will break?”
“Yes, it’s as you say.”
Yup, it was that. Certainly if you pour the magical power of 10 S class adventurers the mechanism would break.
“I’m sorry, my magical power is overboard.”
When I apologized, Silvy became meek.
“No, it’s fine. We should be the ones who are sorry because we’ve never expected somebody this strong would appear from humanity.”
“There’s nothing to apologize. It’s natural for not being able to get a clear image of my strength.”
I said that and turned towards to the girls.
“You girls try and do it. Show me the results of your training!”
Is what I said to them.
“Y-Yes! I’ll do my best!”
“Please look at me! Erin will show you proof that her strength can be useful to Masatsugu-sama!”
“Shii will also do her best! Then, lets do it~!”
The three girls themselves gave an admirable reply.
“Oi, oi. It looks like those beautiful girls which are disciples of the SSS class Masatsugu-san will take the trial?”
“The disciples of that master… Somehow it became an unbelievable thing?”
:”Ridiculous. We already tasted the power of that girl called Erin! Shit, It would be nice if we could alive from here.”
We were hearing such voices from the adventurers around us.
Sigh, can’t be helped.
If perhaps a rampage of magical power happens, then in that case I would step in.
“Naomi-sama, could these girls perhaps be your disciples?”
As she asked once more, I intended to answer with “They live in the orphanage that I care for” but Lucia barged in before I could answer.
“It was said to me that when I grow up I’ll be his bride!”
“Ah! That’s unfair Lucia-chan! The same goes for me too! I was also told that I’ll become a bride when I grow up!”
“Shii is the 3rd woman to be tied in in the oath!”
“Shii-chan, that’s a secret from Master!?”
It became quite noisy. This is that when the children want to be the wife of their father, isn’t it. I am happy that I hear that from the beautiful girls but it’s still painful thinking about it when they’re gonna leave. Is this father’s sentiment that they call it?
“That bastard, he has those three beautiful girls…”
“Shit, why is God so unfair…”
“I also want to be liked by such a pretty girl. No, even if she is 1/10 of her it will be enough!”
Sigh, it seems the adventurers are misunderstanding something.
It’s not like that.
“I see, Naomi-sama is a person who’s okay with more than one person. If it’s like that even I…”
Sylvie was mumbling something but I couldn’t hear it clearly.
“Ha, the test can finally begin”
Silvy reacted to my words
“Excuse me.”
With her saying that the exam has started.
It starts with Lucia.
“I don’t have much confidence in my magical power…”
“You’re a power type after all. It’s natural to be small compared to me but to the world it’s enough to be strong. Don’t worry about it.”
“Is that so? Just by Master saying that I can feel courage swelling up in me!”
After saying that she held out her hand.
“That can’t be!? Is this what you meant when you said it’s small compared to Naomi-sama!?”
Silvy raised her voice.
“Ge!?”
“Are you for real!?”
“If this is the pupil’s power then how big could the Master’s power be!?”
The surrounding adventurers were making a lot of noise.
Every single last one of them was annoying. It’s not a result for them to be amazed so much. Because if my Divine Protection skill is activated then the result will be like this.
“A class, perhaps reaching even S class magical power.”
She informed us of the result.
The adventurers raised their voices once again, while I was very calm.
“Well, that was expected. Lucia you did well”
Her happiness from my praise was shown through her huge smile on her face.
“Oi oi, it’s fine if it’s something other than petting your head.”
But Lucia was shaking her head with Frou frou sounds.
“Master petting my head is the best reward. There is nothing that I like other than this.”
So she says.
Sigh, it seems the abusement trauma is still there so she cannot be selfish.
There’s no way she likes petting her head the most.
I know that far much.
Well, we’ll buy cute clothes again.
As I was thinking such things I apparently my hands became attached to her ears and she was showing such a charmed happy face.
Ah, I went overboard.
“Next is me! Elin also wants to do it!”
Elin for some reason was feeling jealous towards Lucia and raised her voice.
Fumu, I did not think she would have this much interest in the exam.
“Okay, Elin show your result of the training!”
“Yes, yes! I’ll try my hard to meet your expectations! I cannot compare to Masatsugu-sama’s magical power but I’ll not lose to Lucia!”
Elin who was unusually in high spirits held out her hand.
“It’s a lie… She said that her magical power couldn’t match Naomi-sama power and yet it’s this much?”
“Oi, oi could that be?”
“There’s no mistaking it, it’s blacked out. It’s a phenomenon you can’t see even if you gather the other S-class adventurers. She is also a disciple of that master.”
“But, if the disciples are of that level, then what could be the level of the master Masatsugu? Could his power be over SSS-class!?”
Impossible, that can’t be was what we heard from surrounding adventurers but to me the result from Elin’s magical power was expectedly dull.
Because she’s under my divine protection so the result is natural.
“Elin, you did well. Your magical power cannot be matched by S-class adventurers. What do you want for a reward? It’s okay no matter what it is.”
On my words Elin unwaveringly answered
“I want you to pet my head the same way you did to Lucia-chan!”
“Oi, you aswell? Anything is okay. Things like buying new clothes, food that you like…”
She shook her head at my words and presented her beautiful blonde head to me.
Sigh, why do you want to be pet on the head by me so much?
Yeah, she is reserved for some reason. She has a history of being constantly targeted by assassins. Uhm, we should all go to buy delicious food again.
While I was thinking such things, I was petting her with good girl, good girl gestures.
“Hau~ Elin is in bliss , Masatsugu-sama~”
She was saying that with a charmed expression.
Sigh, how is it so joyful to be pet by me?
“Yes~, next is Shii-chan’s turn. I also want to be pet on the head by Masatsugu-san~, Ei!”
With saying that Shii extended her hand.
“Ehehe~, Shii’s magical power is of an spirit deity~ But even with Masatsugu-san’s magical power I’m closing to 1/10000 to his power. That’s why the result will be amazing!~”
She excitedly looked into the crystal.
But, I heard an “Shit” and noticed it.
“1/10000 of my magical power, you say. If that’s so , then you easily surpass the magical power of 10 S-class adventurers!?”
On my words Shii let out a cute “Hae” sound.
In that moment the magical measurement crystal went Geki! A dull sound came out as it became split in half.
That’s right, if it’s 1/10000 of my power that is exactly what will happen.
I was greatly perplexed as it how to compensate them for it.
