Chapter 14.2

“Ple…… Plea, Please…… app, approve. Please approve.”

Ohh.

it’s amazing, it’s amazing

This is why children who have just learned Korean read everything they see.

I looked around. It seemed that the Duke has still a long way from returning to his study, so I thought of reading a few more words.

“Exbe…… Ah, exbedi…… N, no. Expedition. Um, expedition bl..… expedition plan, expedition plan.”

I couldn’t deny the feeling of pride welling up from the depths of my heart.

In my previous life, I even edited my thesis, but learning a new language system always gives me an unknown thrill. The array of symbols engraved on paper in black ink comes to me as a meaning now.

‘Is there anything else to read?’

The only thing I could read on the Duke’s desk was a stack of paperwork, and the hard, businesslike letters related to work were difficult and the contents were not interesting.

‘Because he didn’t tell me to just sit still.’

After looking around the study while the Duke was away, I jumped off the chair. While snooping around for something else to read, I decided to pry open the unlocked drawer.

Fortunately, there was a book right inside. I immediately read the cover.

“101 Necessary…… things, for the…… hateful…… 7-year-old.”

What?

‘Why do you keep stuff like this in the drawer?’

First of all, I’m ten, not seven, so I’m excluded from this.

Does he have any other sponsors besides me? Or a relative?

However, all of the Janus family, except for the very distant collateral family, were slaughtered by the current Duke Janus.

Is his distant relative seven years old?

Even so, why is he reading the method of educating a seven-year-old?

The nobility usually left the care of the children to the nanny and tutor.

When I opened it, I could see traces of diligently writing something on it. The scrawled handwriting made it even more difficult to read.

“What are you looking at again?”

I, who was looking through the books in the drawer, looked towards the door in amazement. The sensitive-looking Duke Janus, all white from his roughly brushed hair to his shoes and wearing a monocle, was approaching me.

I quickly closed the drawer and pointed to the letters on the desk to distract him.

“Viscount Bayern left a letter behind.”

Fortunately, the boy’s gaze immediately moved to the letters on the desk.

The boy’s hand, which had been examining the outside of the letter one by one with a sullen expression, stopped for a moment. And without a word he stretched out his other hand to me.

I quickly found a paper knife decorated with a lily pattern and handed it to him. The envelope of the letter, which caught the Duke’s attention, was stamped with a golden seal symbolizing the temple.

‘It’s the test result!’

I didn’t expect much, but I was curious about the result of pulling out my purification power until my legs were weak.

I couldn’t guess anything from the boy’s expression as he read what was written on the paper. He had almost no facial expression except when he was making fun of me.

Perhaps he had finished reading, the duke shoved the letter into a drawer and casually sat down on a chair and sat me on his lap.

Are you thinking of not telling me?

“Did my guide grade come out?”

“Huh?”

What are you surprised about?

Through the monocle, the boy’s red eyes widened slightly. He quickly answered, avoiding my gaze.

“Oh, it came out.”

You don’t want to talk about it?

At first, I didn’t think much of it, but since the duke seemed to want to hide it, I was determined to know.

“Can I see it too?”

“Whatever.”

Then he opened the drawer again and took out the paper he had crumpled earlier.

Now that I know how to read, I can read by myself. I was going to open the paper and go through it from the first page, but I didn’t have to. This is because it was written at the top of the first page of the letter.

[C]

C-class.

‘Well…… I didn’t have high expectations anyway…….’

Anyway, since there was a lot of sincerity in meticulously writing down what each item was, I decided to take a look at that too.

The Duke, who was looking at me like that, suddenly opened his mouth and said,

“Betty.”

“Yes.”

“C-class is also great.”

“Yes.”

Who said that?

I know that even a C-class guide is a great and valuable talent. If there are no guides for sentinels right now, the cracked continent is over.

The reason why the empire was able to achieve a rapid level of civilization in a short period of time was mostly thanks to the magic tools made by processing the corpses of monsters that sentinels and guides slain.

‘But isn’t this a little too much?’

It’s been 10 years since I was born as ‘Betty’ in this world, and it’s been a long time since I abandoned my lingering attachment of having a reincarnated buff. Even if I’m a C-class guide, I’m ready to accept it.

Except for the purification affinity, the rest of the items are so poor that it does not even reach the F-class.

The purification affinity that raised the average is almost an A-class.

So, as a result of the total sum, it was only a nudge as C-class.

Everything is fine.

But not this!

[Matching rate with Sentinel Bernhard Lilier Janus: 98%]

Christine was 95%, but I was 98%, it was almost like a rejection sentence.

‘Why is the reincarnated buff suddenly applied only here!’

I reflexively crumpled the paper I was holding.

If I end this life, I will chase and kill the person who reincarnated me to the end of hell.

The duke, who doesn’t know what’s bothering me, said softly.

“Grades are just admission criteria and are not that important in the field.”

“Yes.”

“There are a lot of prospective graduates who brag about their high grades and then go to the rift.”

So then I’m going to the rift faster?

No matter how hard I cling to Duke Janus, I think I’ll die as soon as I step on the ground.

I didn’t answer, so he added hastily and snatched the paper from my hand.

“And you won’t even go down to the ground anyway.”

“Why?”

“Because I won’t send you down.”

?

Why pick a guide if you’re not going to take them on an expedition?
