I Kidnapped the Hero's Women-Chapter 256: Entrance Exam (1)
"Okay, okay! I got accepted as an entrance exam administrator···!"
Yuri let out a small exclamation as she received the notice from the academy.
The Imperial Magic Academy will soon begin the entrance exam to accept first-year students.
I had applied for the position of administrator who will be in charge of and directly administer the exam, but I had forgotten about it.
I got accepted···!
This year, Charlotte and Julia were supposed to take the entrance exam.
If I'm lucky, I might be able to see Charlotte and Julia taking the exam.
Of course, I don't plan on abusing my authority as an administrator to benefit them.
But it would be fun to just watch from afar.
Yuri felt her heart pounding with anticipation.
'If they both enter the Imperial Magic Academy, will they become my juniors···!'
It was a strange feeling. It still feels like yesterday that I entered the Imperial Magic Academy and became a freshman.
A year has already passed, and it’s time to welcome my juniors.
I felt a new sense of emotion.
I received training on various things as an administrator.
Even rehearsing, time passed quickly.
The day of the entrance exam arrived before I knew it.
‘Huh? Your Highness is taking the exam this year too!’
Yuri’s eyes widened as she glanced at the main gate.
A familiar face.
Wasn’t it Grand Princess Merilda entering the academy?
The building Merilda was heading to was where the exams for the Department of Barrier Engineering were held.
She seemed to be wavering about her future path.
In the end, it seemed like she had decided to study barrier magic.
‘Not the Department of Barrier Magic, but the Department of Barrier Engineering. That’s typical of a princess.’
Merilda always said that she wanted to devote herself to creating a safe fortress city.
Of course, if there was one excellent barrier magician, it would be a great help in stopping the monster wave.
However, just one person is not enough to protect an entire large city.
However, with barrier engineering, it would be possible to build a barrier system that protects an entire city with just a small number of people.

It was definitely a wise choice.
'I hope the princess gets in too···.'
It would be nice if the princess gets in too, so that Charlotte, Julia, and I can all attend the academy together.
Just as Yuri was imagining her college life this year, filled with anticipation,
A call came from the entrance examination headquarters, and Yuri hurried to the headquarters.
"Yuri-kun will be in charge of supervising the examinations for the Department of Combat Magic and the Department of Spirits."
"···!"
The Department of Combat Magic and the Department of Spirits. Charlotte and Julia kept the exams they were taking a secret, so they didn't say anything.
It seems Charlotte will apply to the Department of Combat Magic, and Julia will apply to the Department of Spirituality.
Then I'll be able to see them both taking the exam!
"Here's a guide that explains the exam process. You can head to the exam room right now."
"Oh, yes."
Yuri had to hurry right away without having time to study the contents of the guide.
I heard that there were some changes that day due to the direct instructions of the Dean.
How much would it change?
I decided not to worry too much, thinking that I could just do what I practiced.
Yuri arrived at the exam room and was about to read the guide.
Soon, the test takers came rushing in.
Yuri had to proceed with the exam, very nervous.
"Welcome to everyone who has taken the entrance exam for the Department of Combat Magic. I would like to ask you to verify your identity. The first evaluation after verifying your identity will be the Advanced Magic Theory written exam. Huh?"
"You're taking a written exam!?"
Yuri's eyes widened as he read the guide.
An Advanced Magic Theory written exam?
Why is this part of the entrance exam for the Department of Combat Magic...?
There definitely wasn't something like this during the rehearsal?
"Yes, yes. I will take the written exam. If you don't score over 80 points, you will automatically be disqualified, regardless of your future combat magic evaluation score... If you know that, then I think it will be fine..."
"This can't be happening...!"
"I don't know a single thing about magic theory! I'm screwed!"
The testing room became a mess in an instant.
Yuri carefully looked over the guide he had just read once more, lost in thought.
Why on earth would they include an Advanced Magic Theory written exam in the combat magic department exam, and not even basic magic theory? At that moment, I thought.
'Ah! Dean! That guy again···!"
I remembered that the Dean was not very pleased with Charlotte and Julia's admission, and I felt like I realized everything.
The fact that Charlotte was a master of swordsmanship comparable to the Sword Master was already widely known throughout the country.
The Dean could have easily predicted that Charlotte would apply to the Department of Combat Magic.
'They prepared this trap to fail Charlotte, who had no interest in studying!'
Yuri clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
I didn't know the dean was such a petty person.
Since I entered school, the dean's hairline has been noticeably thinning every time he's caused an incident.
I heard that when my friends told me they were going to take the entrance exam, the dean grabbed the back of his neck and collapsed, and was diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension.
But isn't this too much?
It was obvious that it was an abuse of power aimed at Charlotte.
Since the exam itself was applied to all applicants, there was no evidence that it was aimed at a specific student.
All that remained was the suspicion···.
'Huh? But I don't see Charlotte here···?'
But no matter how much I looked around, I couldn't see Charlotte.
Didn't Charlotte apply to the Department of Combat Magic···?
"Kyaaak! Why is the exam so difficult!"
"Damn···. I don't think I'll get 50 points···."
"Okay. Applicants. Please line up here for the next practical exam···"
Of course, the written exam wasn't canceled just because Charlotte wasn't there.
The exam room was filled with the sound of crying right after the written exam.
According to what I heard from the examiner, the passing rate with a score of over 80 was only 1 percent···.
It was a shocking passing rate that was far below the department's quota.
'As long as Charlotte is safe, it shouldn't matter···?'
The shocking and terrifying Battle Magic Department entrance exam was finally over.
Yuri had to head straight to the Spirit Department entrance exam room.
"Ahh! The Dean is messing with me again···!"
I looked at the notice just in case.
As expected, the entrance exam for the Department of Spirituality included a physical test out of nowhere.
It even had an incredible cutoff line that only students from the Department of Combat Magic could barely pass···!
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
This time, it was a trap aimed at Yulia, the spirit mage!
Yulia doesn't exercise, and she doesn't even go out much, so how is she going to pass this!?
'Huh? But why can't I see Yulia? Oh, I found her···! Huh?'
As she anxiously looked around at the applicants,
Yuri's expression turned into a look of bewilderment when she found a familiar face.
'That's Charlotte···?'
It was Charlotte, not Julia, who showed up at the entrance exam for the Spiritual Studies Department.
Yuri froze in place at the unexpected appearance.
Oh, wait a minute.
Charlotte, standing tall among the delicate Spiritualist aspirants.
She must have passed the physical test···?
"Ugh! Just look at that kid!"
"She does 20 push-ups? No, she doesn't stop there, she does more!?"
"While everyone else was falling before even being able to do 10, she broke 100···!"
Of course, there was no twist.
.
.
.
"Kekekekeke···. The entrance exams are almost over···"
He looked at the students leaving the Imperial Magic Academy with their shoulders drooping.
The dean stood with his back to the wall and laughed.
He had added an additional exam to the entrance exam by surprise, so of course he would be held responsible later.
With this, he had successfully prevented an unqualified magician from entering the combat magic department,
and a spirit master whose skills far surpassed those of the faculty from entering the spirit department.
He would probably be given a fairly harsh disciplinary action for this incident.
However, what was scarier than any disciplinary action was the unprecedented situation where three problem children, like Yuri, had increased their number and were causing three times more accidents.
They say you can't save the hair that's already fallen out, but you have to save the hair that's left···.
The dean was fiddling with the fluffy hair that remained on the back of his head at that moment.
"Dean. The entrance exams are all over···"
"Finally over! Then who are the students admitted to the Department of Combat Magic and the Department of Spirits? No! Are there any applicants named Charlotte and Julia among all the successful applicants? Let me know first!"
"Uhh···. Yes. There is. Among the successful applicants to the Department of Spirits, there is a child named Charlotte. Julia is a successful applicant to the newly established Department of Black Magic."
"···What?"
Ususu.
The dean's last hair, which was like a leaf, fell out.
Of course, the dean's entrance exam terrorism was severely criticized by the committee.
The situation was resolved by invalidating the written test for the Department of Combat Magic's magic theory and the physical test for the Department of Spirits, and filling the quota.
The dean ended up being sentenced to a 5-year extension of his term as a disciplinary action.
