chapter 166
166.I Will Speak Informally From Now on (Complete)
“What are you doing!”
Jericho, caught in the air by Lue’s tentacles her her her, was questioning me with her puzzled face her her her.
Without saying a word, I walked around Jericho and observed the proud body of this latecomer.
He’s pretty muscular for a drunkard. There are some traces of training. For that matter, I like alcohol, but… Is it okay to detoxify it with divine power?
“Please put me down!”
“Did you drink so much that you couldn’t hold back?”
“Well, what does that have to do with it?”
Did you wash your clothes with alcohol? I plugged my nose at the strong smell of alcohol coming from his body. At this level, it looked as if it had been aged in a liquor jar and then escaped.
Is this a seminarian?
“They should have announced that today is the interview.”
“Well, that’s why you didn’t come like this?”
“Look at the time. What if the guy came in 10 minutes later than scheduled? It’s not too late, right? Isn’t there something that every human being should say? If you weren’t a seminarian, I would have thrown you at the bottom of the dungeon and rolled until you got there in time.
“I can really throw it, so why not give it a try?”
I glared as menacingly as I could and rubbed the blade of the mithril shovel with my finger to make a crunching sound.
“Uh, uh…Sorry!”
It seems my persuasion worked well. The guy who was shouting loudly began to quietly look at me. It seemed like he didn’t like it again.
“It seems like you understood well. Then, the interview will begin now.”
Is this guy worthy of being arrogant or not?
Or should I just leave the head and bury it on the floor?
“Name.”
“Jericho Rae, I’m a Wrangler!”
“Say it again. “What?”
“Hey, it’s a Wrangler! Don’t you know everything? “There is no one in this academy who doesn’t know our family name… “
I don’t know. What kind of castle is Wrangler? I’ve never seen it in the original either. I can’t remember anything unless it’s a last name from the original. That’s a bit confusing too…
“I don’t know.”
“…Whew. That’s it. Now, nothing will change just because someone remembers the family that was ruined.”
Seeing as what he said was’I have a story,’I wonder if he was trying to sell his emotions. I asked, adjusting the angle of the shovel blade so that it shines more in the light.
“My family was ruined, but I managed to go to the academy.”
“Ha, I paid all my tuition until graduation in one go. “Now, what’s the use of it?”
Jericho’s face revealed anguish that could not be hidden. Looking at her her face her her her, I became a little curious about her her her her Jericho her situation her her her. It’s an interview, so you can ask her.
Before that, she seems to be a little more energetic, so I’ll press it.
I held out the shovel a little more threateningly and measured the distance between Jericho and me.
“Don’t worry too much. “You won’t split your head open with this shovel.”
“…Just split it up.”
“What?”
“I don’t think it would be a bad idea for my shitty life to end like this. Oh, of course, please don’t get sick.”
Is alcoholism and bipolar disorder? I had a headache from the crazy changing emotions.
I think he should be hospitalized rather than get a job.
But does this world consider mental illness an illness?
Normally, fantasy doesn’t pay much attention to other things.
“…He’s a guy who’s good at annoying people.”
“I heard that a lot.”
“So, do you want to defend the Wrangler family by saying that they went bankrupt and went awry?”
“Well, think whatever you want…”
Jericho’s gaze his, which was grunting with difficulty, was focused entirely on the mithril shovel that was scattering beautiful light. Is this something that bothers me so much? I put away the shovel, leaned against the back of the chair, and interrogated him.
“Say it. “What happened in the past?”
“You really don’t know?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s not easy to know… It was even on the front page of the Imperial Newspaper once.”
“I don’t know, so tell me quickly.”
“Do I…Have to tell you? “If I tell you, you might regret it, don’t you?”
“Shut up and just say it.”
“…The family became involved with a cult and the family was destroyed.
The father passed away in shock, his title his was taken away, his property his his was confiscated … The mother who was involved disappeared, and her younger brother was struggling to make a living on his own … And his path to success was blocked. “Who would use a priest who has a family of cultists?”
Oh, I see. I looked at him with a sad face. There was a bitter smile on his lips. I’m smiling, but I’m not laughing. It was a worthy story.
Anyway, it’s someone else’s situation. There was no reason for me to look at it.
There are so many stories here.
Would you like to live for 10 years on a deserted island with snake cubs, bear cubs, and zombies as toppings?
“Is that why you became a drunkard?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“It’s a good thing you stayed at the academy.”
“There is no choice, is there? I have nowhere to go now. “I’m holding on because I paid all of my tuition until graduation.”
It’s a good situation to put a leash on. I looked at Jericho’s calm face and decided that an ability test was necessary. I know there are tearful situations that only appear in new dramas, but isn’t that what it is and what is this?
“Where is my family?”
“I do not know. I heard her brother is working as an employee at the top. You can live well on your own.”
“Are you going to continue living as a junkie?”
My mindset was completely messed up.
“So you didn’t come for the interview? “I didn’t come of my own accord, but… “
“… “Who forced you into it?”
“…Professor Duran forced it in. They say, ‘At least live like a human being!’ “What difference does this make?”
I don’t know who it was, but it seemed like there was someone who was genuinely worried about this fallen nobleman.
“…Done. Even if I talk about it, my mouth hurts. Now that you’re here, talk about what you can do.”
“Are you telling me to appeal? Aren’t you going to pick it anyway?”
“If your skills are useful, we can hire you.”
“Well… I was the heir to the family, so I received training to become a successor. Before I entered school, I did paperwork on behalf of my father as heir. “It’s about a year, but… “
Of all the interviewees I’ve seen so far, this is the only one who has done anything similar to the actual work.
This is a strength that cannot be ignored, but looking at this guy, it seems like she won’t be able to use it properly unless she gets some motivation or at least uses her brainwashing beam.
“And?”
“As for your grades…You don’t have to say anything, right? Still, when I was a freshman, I was in the top three. “I let it go after I became a sophomore.”
[When does it end? I’m having a hard time!]
“What do you think about religious faith? Does it seem deep?”
“What kind of faith do you have when your family is destroyed?”
I managed to survive until my senior year. If I saw a talking pig, I wouldn’t have been surprised if he was immediately kicked out.
“If you are selected, are you confident that you will work hard?”
“What do you plan to use such a useless person?”
“We are assessing whether recycling is possible.”
“I’d rather pick someone else. “There are many people who can do better than me.”
“Is there anyone you can recommend?”
As a test, I took out a notepad and wrote down the names of the people I had interviewed so far and handed it to him. This was almost like the last question.
Because I was curious about what kind of people this guy selects.
Jericho, now that her feet were touching the ground, glanced at her note her and spoke to her.
“No, Kenneth. This guy is hot-tempered and careless, getting angry all the time. “He would tear the paper and eat it while he was doing his paperwork.”
He’s hot-blooded. I didn’t know that. Everyone becomes quiet when they come in front of me. Let’s listen a little more. I listened to his character reviews
“Abril is sincere, but her work ethic is a bit lacking. Still, I tend to be meticulous in my work, so if I become skilled, I will be able to do the work quickly.
Benny? Bitter…He doesn’t have a good relationship with Abril. Even though their skills are similar, I wouldn’t recommend hiring them together. Personally, I think Abril would be better because she is nice. My faith is too strong…
Ted … Is good at math because his parents worked at the top. He may be a bit of a pushover when it comes to things like that, but he has a flawless personality, so he will do a good job. Their religious beliefs are relatively less fanatical.”
“I see.”
“Isn’t it right to mainly select people who are not overly religious like first-year students?”
Look at my eyes rolling. Jericho seemed to know who was behind the screen. The other kids didn’t even notice that I was putting pressure on them, but this guy was smarter than I thought. I kind of liked this.
“That’s right.”
You got the point right. Most of the guys I’ve met so far haven’t noticed.
There were some parts of the review that Jericho gave that matched what I saw during the interview, but there were also many parts that I didn’t know.
“Among the students on this list, Avril, Ted, and Alma are relatively less religious than the other students. The rest…Maybe better than the chicks, but not by much. I recommend those three people. Can you send it to me now? “I have a drinking plan.”
It’s the same as the line of successful candidates I was thinking of.
Although it is not a lineup that can be used as a meat shield in any case. Still, such talents are generally not very intelligent, so it was difficult to just select them.
Well, let me ask you one more question. I opened my mouth, ignoring the guy’s constant grumbling.
“Then let me ask you one last question. “How do you compare to the three people you chose?”
“Isn’t it obvious that the salary is being canceled?”
[It’s a lie.]
“Honestly. “I hate lies the most.”
I made eye contact with him. Half-opened eyes. He’s a bad guy, but if his mind is remodeled, he might be quite useful. I gently patted Lue’s body.
Lue’s eyes sparkled after receiving my signal.
“…But those who have done it know better, so I will do better.”
“I get it. “Go out.”
I freed him from the tentacles and gave him an order to banish him.
“Are you really going?”
“Okay, go. “Before I change my mind.”
He quickly opened the door and ran out of the room as if he was being chased. The sound of running could be heard through the door to my ears. I turned and looked at Karina and Leni behind the screen.
“What is it like?”
“It seems useful if I adjust it well, but wouldn’t it be better to just skip it?”
“Hmm… Isn’t that too free-spirited?”
“What if you change your mindset?”
“I guess I should just watch it work first…”
Is the evaluation on hold?
Except for the bad attitude, it feels quite simple.
Is this the end for now?
I was lost in thought for a moment.
Who should I choose?
I said in advance that I would be selecting about three or four people, so I think I should choose from among them. After much thought, I came up with a solution.
Of course, in times like this, it’s benchmarking.
“I have a good idea.”
———–
“Nice to meet. Those who passed. Starting today, you will be helping out as apprentices for a week. “If you do something that’s problematic, you’ll know without me saying anything, right?”
The four interns nodded frantically at my words.
“Yes!”
I grinned at the four newcomers who were rolling their eyes at me.
Let’s give it a try.
“Then, from now on, I will give you some precautions. First of all… “
That’s how I got four temporary subordinates that I could use freely.
