The Year-End Exam Event Begins
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
The year-end exam at the Royal Academy can be called the culmination of the students’ efforts up until now, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the ranking in the academy is shaped by how well they perform in it.
In ‘Engage Hazard’, the year-end exam is also an annual event held every December. The ranking is determined by quizzes about ‘Enhaz’ and raid boss defeats, and those ranked highly are given event-exclusive UR weapons as rewards.
The year-end exam event has only been held once, though. Well, it can’t be helped since the service ended six months after release. No, of course, as a heavy user, I’m not at all satisfied, you know? I spent all my part-time job money on the year-end exam event gacha, spinning it like crazy.
In any case, we have to do our best to get through this event and have a peaceful winter break. So, with that…
“Here, you’ve made a mistake here.” (Harold)
“Ugh… Haru’s so harsh…” (Lizette)
Today, I decided to hold a study session for the year-end exam.
As for the classroom work, it’s a piece of cake for me, since I was a university student in my previous life, so I’m just focused on teaching Liz, Lilliana, and Lloyd. By the way, since I worked part-time as a tutor in my past life, I’m pretty good at teaching. Huh? You’re thinking, “If you can be a tutor, you can’t be socially awkward, right?”. Well, let me tell you, in order to pull off the gacha in ‘Enhaz’, I had no choice but to overcome that.
“Here, Lilliana, if you substitute this into the formula, you can solve it easily.” (Harold)
“Haru-sensei! I want some rewards (meat) to motivate me!” (Lilliana)
Wow, this female protagonist is really true to her desires. But well, if avoiding failure can be as simple as giving her some meat, then I guess that’s cheap.
“Got it. If you manage to pass the year-end exam with a passing grade, I’ll treat you to meat, Lilliana.” (Harold)
“! You said it! You promised, right!?” (Lilliana)
As soon as I mentioned meat, her reaction was incredible. However, her attitude toward studying also changed 180 degrees.
I feel like a beast tamer…
“Well… why is everyone looking at me?” (Harold)
“““““…”””””” (Everyone)
Not just my students Liz and Lloyd, but even Xandra and the others are looking at me with eyes full of greed.
“Sigh… I get it. If everyone gets above a passing grade, in the name of Harold Weir Dehaulbaz, I’ll throw a grand celebration for you.” (Harold)
“““““Yay!””””” (Everyone)
Hmm… well, if this is enough to motivate everyone, I guess it’s fine, right? Or is it not?

The day of the year-end exam finally arrived. We’re currently each staring at our exam papers in our respective classrooms. However…
“Hehe…” (Alexandra)
“This is a piece of cake for Monica.” (Monica)
Xandra, who put her pen down and smiled, and Monica, who lifted her glasses and gave a smug face, caught my eye.
As for these two, I don’t need to worry. In fact, Monica is four years older than us… I can feel the murderous intent coming from her, so I’ll keep my distance. More importantly…
“Damn it… this year’s exam has definitely been the hardest one yet, right?” (Lloyd)
“Ahh… my meat… it’s gone…” (Lilliana)
…It seems like Lloyd and Lilliana are struggling. I just hope they don’t fail…
“…” (Uly)
Uly is staring out the window, ignoring the exam.
I’m not worried about him, but it is a bit concerning.
“Don’t look around during the exam.” (Harold)
It would be terrible to be suspected of cheating.
I stopped observing everyone and focused on reviewing my exam paper. Then…
“Aaahhh… it’s no use. I’m done for…” (Lloyd)
“Goodbye, meat. Thank you for everything, meat.” (Lilliana)
After the academic exams were done, Lloyd buried his face in his desk and clutched his head, while Lilliana was burned out and turned completely blank.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay. Even if you fail the academic exam, you can make up for it in the practical exam, right?” (Harold)
“T-That’s true, but…” (Lloyd)
“Ugh… after Haru-san taught me… I can’t…” (Lilliana)
I desperately comforted the two of them, and we moved to the training grounds to prepare for the next practical exam.
The practical exam is in a real combat style, where students are randomly grouped into four-member teams, and they fight magical beasts provided by the academy. In terms of content, it seems like it’s similar to the raid boss battles in the ‘Enhaz’ year-end exam event.
“God, please! Please put me and Haru-kun on the same team!” (Lilliana)
“Ahahaha…” (Harold)
Since the teachers form teams based on the students’ ability balance, it’s impossible to know who you’ll end up with. Also, the teams aren’t just from our class but from all grades, so in the worst case, I could end up on the same team as Wilfred… no, that’s unlikely. The Royal Academy isn’t that stupid to put someone as antagonistic as me and Wilfred on the same team.
But, other than Wilfred and me, they probably won’t take any special considerations, so there’s a chance that some of his harem members might end up on my team. Conversely, it’s also possible that Xandra might end up in Wilfred’s team. That’s something I absolutely want to avoid.
“Alright then, I’ll now announce the team formation!” (Teacher)
A board was posted in the training ground, and the teams were announced…
“Ehh…” (Harold)
Unfortunately, my team ended up consisting of Uly, Lilliana, and Wilfred’s personal maid, Marion.
