I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

163.I Will Speak Informally From Now on (2)

“Oh, this is…”

“How do you feel?”

“Principal Merlin. This is innovation, innovation! Just selling this to knights and mercenaries who can’t do their jobs because their arms are cut off will make a lot of money!”

You’re making a bit of a fuss. I sat next to Principal Merlin and watched Vern Sangju licking his prosthetic hand

It gave me goosebumps to look at the prosthetic hand here and there with eyes filled with surprise and emotion, but I waited for the top tier’s words without showing it as much as possible.

“Let’s sign a contract right away. Exclusively!”

“Let’s start with the down payment and profit distribution.”

“How about 5,000 gold coins as a down payment? “The profits are 5 to 5!”

“Is it half and half…”

“That’s right! This is quite generous! It’s rare to find a top that matches the proportions like this!”

“How do you feel?”

I looked at the principal from a distance as I heard the top-ranking leader’s rant. Since I don’t know much about the situation here, I decided it would be right to ask the old Principal Merlin for advice.

As expected of someone who has become the principal of Calon Academy, Principal Merlin recognized the meaning in my eyes and immediately opened his mouth.

“It’s not a bad ratio. But only we can produce this. How about 8 to 2?”

“Then shouldn’t we just receive the goods and handle everything from transportation to sales? We would like to give that, but then we would be at a loss. How about 6 to 4?”

“7 to 3. No more than that.”

“I’m giving this to you because you were recommended by Principal Merlin!”

After all, this kind of thing should be left to the experts. I watched the negotiations proceed satisfactorily and calculated the time until the next schedule.

Negotiation in the morning. In the afternoon, we gathered prospective graduates of the theology department and held a job briefing session at Yeomyeong Hall… I guess I’m an escort driver. It’s not something to worry about now, but it felt strange to remember that it was a schedule closer to that of a businessman rather than an escort driver.

If this continues, I will set up a business and become a business owner.

“John. Then, why don’t we discuss the details? For example, custom-made…”

“I am willing to custom-make as long as the materials and the person concerned come directly to me.”

Anyway, if you can get an estimate, it’s easy to make something, so for me, it wasn’t a bad idea to get paid handsomely for custom-made products. You might want to consider going with a premium strategy.

“It’s made to order! It would be a great way to make money!”

Good to die, good to die. As if the owner of the top had imagined sitting on a money cushion, he could not even hide his expression and openly showed his joy.

“Please discuss the details with Principal Merlin. “I have the next schedule, so I’ll go first.”

“Go in.”

I’m sure you won’t stab me in the back now. I quietly left the upper building and moved to my next destination.

———-

“Here, here!”

“It’s noisy.”

“Yes? This place is famous for its delicious food and large portions, so a lot of people stop by! I heard it’s one of the top 10 restaurants in Calon?”

Was there something like that here too? But when it comes to being a top 10 restaurant, there seems to be something missing.

One of the top five restaurants and one of the top three restaurants doesn’t seem like it should be like this. Well, considering the size of this city, it wasn’t really strange to say it was a top 10 restaurant. Excluding the imperial capital, it was the largest city on this continent.

As a result, there was a lot of floating population and a lot of stores.

So, the newspaper here is picking out the top 10 restaurants and promoting them. Anyway, what should I order? These days, I only eat pork, so I want to eat something light…

“Sif. “Please recommend a menu.”

“I heard the beef soup and steak set meals here are delicious?”

“Then I will order that.”

“I should try some fish dishes. Over there!”

Sif immediately called a staff member and ordered a menu. It seemed like they had been here before since they looked so natural calling the staff and ordering menu items.

“Have you been here before?”

“I came here once with my younger siblings. He really liked it. “You said you want to eat this every day…”

“You take good care of your younger siblings.”

“He’s a younger brother, almost like a child. “I raised him on my back since he was a baby.”

“How much is the age difference?”

“Five years old? Six years old? “I guess that’s it?”

Sif looked down at the table as if confused. You don’t know the exact age.

Well, here, like in Korea, not everyone registers as a resident, so it could be difficult to know the exact age.

Especially if it is a girl head of household.

“People from slums like us don’t care about things like age. Roughly speaking, a boy is a boy, and a young man is a young man. “I can only guess by looking at the big thing.”

“Hmm. It must be a difficult life.”

“But I’m lucky. Because I met a good employer and my life unfolded. But most don’t. “I have to leave the slums quickly…”

“Are we still living in the slums?”

“How expensive is the house here? Besides, they don’t sell houses very often because they come from slums… “

This is not a place where money is all you need. This is a world where a caste system exists. As a Sif person with no experience or status, it would not be a situation where money can be spent freely.

“If you need help, tell me. “I can at least provide proof of identity.”

“Thank you. Still, I need to save more money. Someday, I will build a house in a nice place and live with my younger siblings…”

“I hope so.”

“…Therefore! Is there anything you can do to make money? It might be a bit dangerous…”

“I’ll let you know when I find it.”

“Thank you… “I will not forget this grace.”

“Just work harder.”

“The menu you ordered has arrived.”

As if we had been talking longer than expected, an employee appeared holding a tray in both hands. We watched the food being placed on the table one by one in silence, and then picked up our silverware as the staff left.

“I will eat well.”

The usual greetings were buried in the commotion and disappeared.

——————–

“Hey, don’t be surprised. All of the students scheduled to graduate came to see the official document!”

“Is that so?”

“I’m not really surprised.”

Considering the reactions of first-year seminarians and professors, it was expected that everyone would come. The problem is that you have to find useful people there.

I had some idea of how to filter it, but I wasn’t sure how effective it would be.

I must have served as an interviewer before. At least, Dean Krispy said he would help, but I don’t know how much help he will actually provide.

In the end, it means that I have to use my own strength to select useful talent.

…Actually, there will have to be some useful talent before that.

Of course, they are elites, so they all have the ability to do things, but it was unclear whether they were talented enough to work at Yeomyeonggwan. A person who works at Yeomyeong-gwan and doesn’t throw a tantrum at the sight of Karina like first-year students.

And a person who can keep his own body safe in an emergency situation.

Because we needed that kind of talent.

“It’s this classroom. By now, everyone’s eyes are glued to waiting for you.”

“I’m a little nervous.”

“Hehe, you’re good at telling jokes.”

No, it’s not a joke.

Although I was confident in other things, I was not confident in communication. I’m not a good person to talk to, and I’ve survived so far by appealing to my abilities. I’ll try my best for now, but it seems clear that I’ll ultimately end up using the method of throwing bait and catching it.

I hope the graduates aren’t just unnecessarily proud people.

If you are unnecessarily stiff or ignore them, they will look into recruitment and other things elsewhere.

“Are you ready?”

“It’s done.”

“Then I will open it.”

There’s no need to open it. Anyway, I stepped into the bright space beyond the open door. Standing in front of the lecture table where the professor would normally put down his things, I quietly looked around.

Sight. Sight. Sight. Gaze.

Have I ever received so much attention in my life?

“Who is that person… ?”

“Ah-I’ve seen it. “It’s the escort knight that the saintess carries around.”

“Really? Just looking at it, it looks like a mercenary who fell in the line of fire rather than a bodyguard…”

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

I looked around at the young men in their early 20s who were staring at me and choosing what to say.

Wouldn’t it be better to go out strong?

If you go out weakly, it will only end up being annoying.

Wherever you go, you have to make sure to control the momentum.

I banged my hand loudly on the table. The somewhat distracted gazes suddenly began to focus on me. When almost all eyes were on me, I frowned. I quietly opened my mouth.

“To those who are expected to graduate from the Department of Theology. Since I am in the position of electing the candidate, I will speak informally from now on. Did you understand?”

There was no answer back. No one has any objection. Then, let’s do it as planned.

I declared, pointing to a plainly dressed female student sitting at the front right of the classroom.

“From you to the left, one by one, please explain whether you are qualified to assist the saint. “If she bluffs or lies, she will be eliminated immediately.”

“Heh heh…”

Bishop Crispy just watched me quietly, stroking his beard. I rolled my eyes with Bishop Crispy’s tacit consent.

Lue, it’s time to get to work.

I set Lue up on the lectern. The atmosphere among the seminarians became chaotic again due to the sudden appearance of the grimoire, but it soon became quiet as the chattering boy threatened to be eliminated.

[Ugh, incredible divine power…]

While Lue was complaining as she stood on the table, she eagerly rolled her eyes and looked at the plain female student.

I feel a little scared, but it doesn’t matter.

“Now, the first interview will begin.”

Let’s get an estimate and check it out.
