Apparently, I’m a Childhood Friend of a Saint in the World of Light Novels, and When We Meet Again After a Few Years at School, She’s Turned into Some Kind of Yandere?
The day of the entrance exam finally arrived.
I am now taking the first half of the test, the paper-based test.
There were three subjects: calculation, history, and geography.
I was able to solve the calculations without much study because the knowledge that had flowed into my head was useful.
The problems were history and geography.
(It is quite difficult because it is the entrance exam of Nobilitas Academy. ……)
But Hayman san’s teaching was very helpful here.
He analyzed past papers and summarized the main points and explained them to me, so I learned almost everything from him.
I thanked him in my mind.
I continued to solve the test after that, and when the test papers were collected, I felt a definite response…
◇◆◇
“The problem is this way. ……”
After completing the paper test, my classmates and I came to a certain open space, as instructed by the teachers.
And then, we are lined up and told a lengthy speech by the teacher standing on the platform.
From now on, we are going to have an actual battle test against demons.
Of course, the teacher would come to us if we were in mortal danger, and only weak demons are released.
But ……
(It’s this test that I’m going to die)
It was this test that killed me in the novel.
A powerful demon was secretly sent by the demon king’s army to target the prince, and I, who happened to be nearby, protected the prince.
There were guards, but they were stopped by a different demon.
As a result, I was forced to fight alone, and although I managed to endure until the guards arrived, I died.
I was the only one who had to endure the burden of the battle, but I died.
I can’t believe I had to fight the demons that appear at the end of the story all by myself. ……
Well, I can’t complain.
I’m just going to do my best.
“Then, now, form into pairs!”
Eh!? Pair of two ……?
For some reason, the contents of the test had changed from novel.
Unfortunately, I’m not from a school, so I don’t know a single person.
I’m still all alone, while other people around me are forming new pairs.
W-What should I do?!
“Hey, you there, are you alone?”
“Hmm? Ah!”
It was Mary who spoke to me in a stranger’s manner.
She was smiling mischievously and seemed to have noticed me from the beginning, but she did it on purpose.
“I’m alone, would you like to work with me?”
“Sure~! That’s why I asked Alan kun.”
We were paired up.
I was quite happy to be paired with someone I knew.
“Then let the test begin!”
The students started running at once as the teacher gave the order.
The score depends on how many demons you can kill in the area where the test is held, so speed is a must in order to get a high score.
I looked for the prince among the moving students.
(There he is ……. Is that Robert next to him?)
Robert is the character who was the prince’s aide in the novel and who accompanied Charlotte and the others on their journey and contributed to it.
He is a loyalist who eventually falls in love with Charlotte but is torn between his friendship with the prince, who is his best friend, but ultimately decides to protect his relationship with the prince.
I recognized him immediately because he looked exactly like the illustration in the book.
“Mary! I’m going after the prince!”
“Hee? Wait a minute!~”
I’m going after the prince and his friend, keeping my distance so I don’t get caught.
Well,…… when are the demons coming,……?
But after a while, nothing happens.
“What’s wrong? Alan-kun.”
“I’m a little curious about the prince. It’s not every day you get a chance to see him in person, is it?”
I was not interested in the prince at all, but I tried to cover it up for the time being.
Mary seemed to agree and nodded once, but her face immediately turned.
“But if you pass the exam, you’ll be classmates.”
“Ahaha~ well~, I guess so. ……──?!”
Just when I thought I had dug my grave, I felt a chill run down my spine.
But neither Mary nor the prince seemed to notice.
W-What……! This presence is ……!
And as soon as I looked around, I realized that an ominous presence was approaching the prince and rushed out to run.
“W-What’s wrong?!”
“I’m sorry! Stay where you are!”
That’s all I say to Mary.
I leave Mary alone with the prince and Robert, who still haven’t noticed the presence, even though they are already quite close.
I didn’t think that they would allow themselves to get this close without noticing the presence.
Damn ……, can’t I make it in time ……?!
I was in a hurry because I was obviously too far away to make it in time.
And finally, the monster appeared.
It had a massive frame that seemed to exceed 10 meters, flaming red feathers, and sharp claws.
It was a phoenix, a demon that bears the name of immortality due to its high life force.
“I knew it was a phoenix after all. ……”
The prince seemed to have finally noticed and began to draw their swords in a hurry.
However, no matter how you look at it, with the prince’s strength, he won’t be able to receive even a single blow from the Phoenix.
Before I could catch up with them, the phoenix let out a raging flame.
Just before the flames hit the prince, I heard a familiar voice.
“Defensive barriers!”
A gentle white light enveloped the prince and began to protect them from the flames.
I hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with long, beautiful silver hair standing on a ledge a short distance away.
“Charlotte ……”
I was momentarily lost for words at the sight of this beautiful figure.
Charlotte had grown up to be so beautiful.
However, the Phoenix seemed to have targeted Charlotte this time and made a large turn and accelerated.
“Nol! The prince seems to be all right now, and I have to protect Charlotte!”
I hurriedly turned in the direction Charlotte was heading.
It took me a while to reach Charlotte.
When I arrived, the battle had already begun and Charlotte was gradually losing ground.
“Ah ……!”
Just as I blocked the Phoenix’s claw attack, the defensive barrier was broken and Charlotte lost her balance.
I instantly closed the distance and stood in front of Charlotte.
I then repel the incoming sharp claws.
“Is everything alright? Charlotte.”
“A, Alan-kun ……?”
Apparently Charlotte wasn’t hurt.
It seems that I made it in time.
Now it’s time to show the results of my training.
I’m going to survive the battle with this guy and change my fate of death!
PROTECT YOUR GIRL, BOI!!
yay
Now the real deal show off your power Alan
