I’ll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

here is no setback.”

After the instructor’s words were finished, the seniors moved to their seats.
Those who had already taken their exam went to the place where the freshmen were yesterday and settled down.

The freshmen who remained in the hall dispersed after hearing the instructions given by the instructor.
Soon after, a huge iron grate came up through the wide space.

The promotion test was conducted sequentially, starting with the 1st Knights Division.

Filina sat in a corner and turned her head to look around.
It was to see if Hugh had returned to the military academy.

But his figure was still nowhere to be found.

Maybe he didn’t want to attend the promotion exam…

“Sir Argeny, you will proceed with the test.”

Henry was entering the center of the stadium.
Filina’s eyes stared at him indifferently.

Henry never mentioned the magic potion she took.

He must have known that she was talking to Hugh in the infirmary, but there was no reaction.

Perhaps it was because of his indifferent personality..…

In fact, Filina didn’t even care about it at all.
She knew Henry’s personality better than anyone.

His silver hair fluttered softly in the wind.
The purple eyes on his fair skin looked bored.

It was as if he wanted this boring time to pass as quickly as possible.

Weapons that could be used in the test could be selected on the spot.
Various weapons were laid out side by side on the brown desk.
A cadet could use up to two weapons.
Henry walked slowly towards the weapons.

[Long sword, bow, spear, enhancer, armor]

He chose a long sword without any hesitation.

The instructor asked in a puzzled voice.

“Sir Argeny, up to two weapons are permitted.
Are you really going to choose just one long sword?”

Henry answered his question with a quiet voice.

“This is it.”

Filina frowned.

She didn’t like his arrogant attitude.

After a while, five huge monsters were loaded into the cage from where the breeding house was.

“……Why are there so many monsters?”

The cadets, who were staring inside the stadium muttered in confused voices.

The level of monsters the freshmen faced was beginner level.
However, the exam was not so easy.

The instructor who had brought as many as five monsters opened the cage without any mention, and the test started as it was.

“Sir Argeny, please, pass the test.”

The cadet, who was waiting for his next turn, muttered in a desperate voice.

The type of monster would not change until someone passed the test.

If he didn’t pass this test, the person who took the next test had to face the same monsters in turn.

Most low level monsters recover all their stamina in 5 minutes.
So, after the test was over, the next cadet waited outside for a while and then started fighting.

The monsters Henry was dealing with had different appearances.

All five species were the same, but because they were growth-type monsters, and their attack patterns were different.
The two monsters flying in the sky seemed to be adults.
The rest of them crawling on all fours on the floor looked like they had not grown up yet.

Henry slammed his long sword diagonally to the right, releasing his hand.
A monster flying in the sky rushed towards him.

Henry slammed the ground with all his might and flew into the air, avoiding the monster with ease.
Then those crawling on the ground approached him.

With sharp claws, three monsters attacked at once.

Henry looked at them with an expressionless face, and then gently swung the hand that was holding the sword.

The three monsters died at once.
Green blood dripped from the tip of his sword.

But the fight wasn’t over yet.
The monsters flying in the sky made a strange cry.

They rushed to Henry with an angry appearance, but fortunately, he easily avoided the monster’s attack.

Filina’s face darkened as she watched.

Perhaps the monsters the instructor brought were a close family.

Watching other monsters die, the anger of seeing them die may have been intended to incite a fight.

It was a cruel way.
Her stomach felt twisted.

Henry killed the monsters that rushed at him without difficulty.
Two monsters fell on the spot in one sharp sword strike.

Henry returned his sword, and the promotion test was over.

“Sir Argeny, congratulations on becoming a knight.
You successfully passed the promotion exam.”

The instructor whispered in a low voice.

Henry turned around and leisurely exited the stadium.
Then, suddenly, his gaze turned to the seat where the cadets were gathered.

Henry’s eyes quickly found Filina.

It was surprising that he was able to find her among so many cadets so quickly, but now Filina didn’t want to worry about it.

For Henry, it was just a test, but for Filina, she felt rejected because it seemed to overlap with him from the past.

Immediately, another person’s promotion test began.
The image of Henry’s fight was still playing in her vision.

The lingering aftertaste did not go away.

The next cadet picked up a sword and armor to take the test.

It was a decent weapon.
After that, armor was an essential tool to take.
Attack weapons were a bow, spear, or long sword.

Of course, the low level of monsters was very easy for freshmen to deal with, but the exam was conducted in a different way so it was much more difficult.

“Sir Leon, we will conduct the promotion test for the appointment of an official knight.”

After a while, Leon slowly walked out into the stadium.
