After defeating the demon king in another world and returning to Japan, a dungeon appeared on the ground. - Chapter 14

===========

The explorer’s examination is divided into two stages, and after the practical exam, the written exam awaits.

The written test is a paper test lasting two hours, and questions asks knowledge about monsters and resources hidden in the dungeon.

The content is quite complicated and there are many questions, so it is impossible to solve it with half-baked knowledge.

The majority of examinees use reference books to study before taking the exam.

In addition, there are still many undeveloped areas in the dungeon,

As new information is brought in every day, it is necessary to make efforts to constantly update one’s knowledge.

This is a fairly high hurdle, and it seems that half of the examinees who clear the practical test are eliminated from the written test.

But…

“The time limit is 110 minutes!!

For me, I should be able to clear the written exam without much trouble.

Because I’ve dived into dungeons in Arcadia, the world of swords and magic, and fought all sorts of monsters in the process of training my magic.

My knowledge about dungeons is deeply ingrained in my head.

Even if I don’t study hard, I can easily get a passing score.

“Start!!”

At the examiner’s signal, the surrounding examinees all picked up their pens and flipped over the question papers.

While they hurriedly work on the questions, I headed over to the question paper with time to spare and calmly worked on it in order.

“… (it’s easy)”

As I expected, the questions there were all easy questions that I could answer instantly, and I was able to solve them all in less than half the time limit.

Or rather, I was able to find many parts where the premise of the problem sentence was wrong and the dungeon was misunderstood.

Well, it’s been half a year since the dungeon appeared.

There are many things I don’t understand, so it can’t be helped.

As time passes, dungeons will be developed more and more, and knowledge should be corrected in the right direction.

“That’s it! Put down your pen!”

As expected, by the time the examiner gave the end signal, I had completed the confirmation of the third round and was about to enter the fourth round.

Even without scoring, the score would be close to perfect.

I felt a certain response.

“This concludes the explorer’s examination. The written results will be announced at a later date. Successful applicants will be issued a provisional explorer license and can proceed to practical training. Then, disband.”

After the written exam, the candidates are released.

With the feeling that I was definitely able to pass, I headed home with light steps.

“I’m glad. With this, I think i’ll pass the exam without much problem.”

Since I had considered the possibility of falling, I was relieved inside.

[T/N What kind of hero fails an exam…]

There’s a rule that if you fail the investigator exam, you won’t be able to take it for three months.

I wanted to get out of this poor life with my sister as soon as possible, so I needed to become an explorer as soon as possible.

If I become an explorer… I should be able to make more money than other explorers because I’ve mastered magic.

The average annual income of an explorer is 20 million yen… It may not be a dream to earn double that.

[T/N Damn hero only aiming for double the average, go for 20 billion at least…]

“The results will come out in three days. I’m looking forward to it.”

At that time, I was walking towards my apartment while muttering such things.

“Kyaaaaaaaaa!!! Somebody help!!!”

That’s when I heard a woman’s high-pitched scream.
