============

[Q: A newborn blob of slime opens its eyes in the middle of nowhere. It seems there is nothing but greenery around it. Under its surface is a fertile soil brimming with Mana while in the atmosphere around it, the dense natural energies alone increases the level of life in the surrounding.

The creatures present here are far stronger, superior, and different from what you have knowledge of. They could kill you with one swing of their limbs or worse, they could destroy you with the jaws and mouth full of various sharp teeth.

You were here the moment you opened your eyes and following your instincts, you moved forward and reached a safe place.

What do you see before you? Elaborate on your survival plan in this dangerous area.]

============

"Well dear question, it's not fine how you jumped from saying a slime exists and I'm that slime.

No, I'm not that slime. I'm me. And if you are asking me, there is no big deal surviving a dangerous forest.

What I see before me would be a plethora of natural treasures so, I will get everything I can while enduring the pressure from the atmospheric energies, try surviving until I'm almost dead, and when I'm about to reach my limits, I will use a teleportation scroll from my inventory to move to an area with relatively lower energy pressure.

I would replete the process there as well, and move on to the less energy-dense areas until I reach the place with normal settlements of some intelligent creatures, and do trade with them before returning back to home."

However… there's no home for me to go back to anymore.

[Q: Elaborate on any natural magical phenomenon you have experienced. State your thoughts on them.]

============

"Magical phenomenon, hmmm… well, I have seen a flame tornado, volcanic thunderstorm, eternal frost, and also the breakouts but I still like the 'nine rainbows over twilight' the most. And since I have never seen it, I won't be answering you either~."

============

[Q: What would be the end velocity of an object moving in space at the speed of… which is made of Adamentium-Maluium Alloy containing 51.6 over 260.763 percentage difference… which is falling towards a celestial mass 3.14 times your planet… the space friction is very close to negligible and atmospheric disturbance is… but, the cosmic radiation is not… and it also is a part of the Klampoital triangle.

As a reference, use:

Aw: 28.554

e: 90.017

SO: 93.912

m: -0.012

E: 1.5689

============

"0 m/s. Is there a reason to even give these many complicated things for something even I can answer with a little spark of common sense?"

I certainly was no genius like many of the people who were giving this exam but keeping my calm and reading the whole damn thing regardless of however long it was, was something mom taught me since I was a kid…

"Mom… dad…"

They were gone. Everyone was gone to a faraway place while I was the only one remaining here now.

'She told me to survive and live no matter what happens so that I can keep looking for them and I will do that. However long it takes.'

============

[Q: Write a detailed description of some kind of projectile.]

============

"Ohh? There was such a pretty question too. How thoughtful of the creator of these questions."

A projectile. It could certainly hold many meanings but for me, it meant all the kinds of bullets and things I can shoot from my darling guns~.

"Alright~. I will answer this one properly~."

This simple question suddenly sparked a great deal of memories in my mind, triggering an entire series of events from my damned past.

'I was a normal young girl living in a distant village with my family, friends, and close ones… and then, everyone died.'

'What a fucking bad story, hun?'

Well, the part about how they all died and how I became what I am right now is the main thing covering all of it though.

[[( Correction )]]

In this world, there are sometimes mistakes that happen and to erase them completely, a wide range of 'cleanup' takes place.

'In our case, it was the death of a draconic creature, a divine beast, and a demon all at once in a single area.'

I don't know the details even to this point but, one day, in the forest near our village overseen by a divine beast according to some of our folklores, a demon and dragon who were 'apparently' already fighting with each other dropped from the sky, wounded.

They were fighting over something, as the demonic creatures and their second eternal opposers, dragons usually do.

When they landed in the land of that holy beast and started to corrupt it, an all-out battle between all three of them broke out.

'It was quite far away from our village but, we all saw it with our own eyes that day, and the memories of it will never leave me, I know that for certain.'

The true demon noble; the draconic creature, a Wyrm from what I know now; and the holy swan fought, destroyed the entire forest in their rage, and ultimately before the destruction and the aftereffects caused by their actions could reach us, all three of them ended up dying in that forest.

'It was their end. An end that happened in close proximity, giving birth to the worst natural phenomenon known to humankind.'

Corruption… fucking dark corruption.

A phenomenon that carries a risk of destruction of this entire world. And also something that requires the immediate attention of the very Voice of the world managing it.

'I don't know about the other methods to deal with it, or if something other than using 'correction' on that entire area is the only thing that this grand Voice of the world can do, but, I will always think those actions were fucked up.'

[Q: Solve the magic formula given below and enhance it with your knowledge.]

[Q: Write about your culture and the cultural activities. Describe the importance of festivals.]

============

'My culture and our cultural activities, hun?'

It was good.

We used to do all the things they do in the main cities and villages of the southern continent.

The people of my village were nice, they helped each other, and being a relatively small settlement, we all were pretty close to each other.

The lives of the people were calm and pretty much normal like it is everywhere in the world.

'And as for festivals… I liked our lantern rite festival the most.'

Something unique to few places of the south and east, but we prepared the lanterns ourselves, and at night under the sky full of clear stars, the fun that one felt by seeing the lights float up in the sky…

"It will never be the same even if I do attend it somewhere else."

Just like how it was not the same even when they had recreated it so perfectly from my childish descriptions.

[You have skipped the question.]

The world decided to clean up everything in the area after the death of those three opposing powers and included us insignificant bunch.

'The reality was overwritten with new elements while everything else was erased like it meant practically nothing at all.'

Everyone vanished, and everything else vanished with them, but, somehow, I survived.

'Fuck…'

I didn't know why I survived or how I reached the other side of the forest which wasn't counted in this correction but, I had somehow survived… which should not have happened.

I was part of the information that the voice of the world had overwritten with new things so 'I' did not exist anymore, which was weird because I was certainly still alive

'The Voice of the World realized it later, and tried looking for me everywhere, while a system called Worldline was connected with me, and helped me hide from the world for some unknown reason.'

I didn't know how, but I started getting these things called 'missions', 'quests', and 'requests' after that, and with time, I figured out a little bit about everything that was going on with all the beings in this world.

'Someone that's above everything controlling the worlds, the higher beings that had been freed from the bonds of their own worlds, the managing 'voices' that handle the functioning of these lower realms, and the system that is in place to 'handle' all the elements of this world.'

They are some of the things that no one would believe me even if I told them. And if I say too much, I would be penalized and if, by any chance, the voice of the world finds the 'mistake' it had made, it would try its best to either take all that I have right now, or who knows, probably something even worse.

"Haaaa..."

The constant fear of running away, finishing the quests that appear out of nowhere, doing whatever I can to not do something too grand to get noticed by the voice of the world, and living like someone who practically doesn't exist, to begin with.

"It's tiring…"

============

[Q: What is happiness according to you? (You may not skip this question).]

============

"Just dying would feel better, perhaps."

But I cannot die, not now, not after coming this far.

'I will find you all.'

If the voice of the world erased something, there must also be some way to bring them back, right?

If the ones that can look down on countless beings can exist, if the beings like the headmaster of this place can exist, if the system can exist, there's undoubtedly got to be a way to bring back people that didn't die but were erased during the process of 'correction', no?

It has to be possible. Even the dead can come back to life or the old can get their youth back.

In this world where anything can happen, anything beyond one's imagination has already happened, how difficult is it for me to find my lost family… my lost happiness?

"My family, mom, dad, everyone was the happiness that was taken away from me."

Or it would be better to say… I betrayed them all and survived alone like a selfish demon bastard.

I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, I don't know if I will be able to meet them again, I don't know anything about that but…

"Happiness is something I don't have anymore."

Not the true happiness that I used to have before. Not the one that can make my frozen heart melt.

"But I know I will obtain it back."

I came to this academy for two reasons: to find out the way to achieve my goal from the headmaster who clearly is closely related to the Worldline, and to find something or someone who can help me.

'This is the best place in this world if I want my happiness back.'

And if I do manage to find someone who knows the way to do that, I will…
