497 - - Episode 495 Graduation

The first day of the training for the spiritist was a success. Many of the adventurers wanted to make a contract with the Spirit of Life, but there were only two who were able to make a contract with the Spirit of Life.

"Well, that's pretty good!　I praise you!"

Flare is praising the floating lizard spirit that just finished its graduation exercises.

She may be imitating If, but it looks like a smiling scene since it is just a young girl being a little bit irritated.

I guess she is supposed to be a cool, powerful and beautiful girl like If, but unfortunately she lacks style and s*x appeal.

But I'm sure she's pretty, so I'd like to take a movie of her and show her when the flare gets bigger ......, but I don't have the equipment to take a movie, and I'm running out of time by the time the flare gets bigger, which is a sad problem.

There's a scene in a novel or something where I'm worried about the difference in lifespan between me and my lover elf, but in my case, it's difficult to watch the little ones grow up or ...... which is more unfortunate?

"Yuta-sama, may I proceed?"

Oops, I got distracted and lowered my own tension. My first students are graduating and I have to watch them grow up without thinking about anything else.

I don't understand or agree with the sudden decision to do the graduation exercises, but I consider it my duty as a teacher.

"Yes, please."

As I watch the adventurers come out to the center of the training grounds under the direction of the competent secretary, I think back to my hard days as a teacher.

I only taught for three days.

I mean, Sylphy and Belle and the others seemed to be busy, but I had so little to do that boredom was killing me.

I guess you're right. All I have to teach them is chanting and actions. Soon there would be nothing left to teach.

But you have to understand that it wasn't without hardship. I thought of chants and actions for fun, and it was a miscalculation that I was terribly embarrassed to teach them.

I could still tolerate the chanting, but it was quite a hardship to demonstrate the poses I thought up in front of many people. The laughter of Sylphy and the others was the only relief.

After overcoming the hardship, even the little belles were trying their best to give lessons to the floating spirits, so I felt very small and tried hard to find something I could do.

I never thought that I would be saved by the old men of the agricultural group with their poor memory. Without them, my training would probably have been over in a day.

"Spirit!　O Spirit who presides over the flame!　I, the contractor, desire you to release your hidden power!　Compression!　Load!　Aim!　Move!　Killing Flame Shinryu Bullet!　Big!"

An adventurer comes out and starts chanting loudly a chant I devised in the center. The body-building poses he struck after each verse of the chants were hot, but he was an adventurer, and his body was in great shape.

Then, the adventurer pointed his finger at the target with the name of the final technique, and a cute weasel or something like that appeared in time with it.　A fireball is sent by the spirit.

The fireballs are fired at the target, releasing compressed flames and exploding. It is quite powerful, but am I the only one who thinks it is like a spirit of wind if it were a weasel?

Incidentally, the power can be adjusted with the small, medium, and large buttons at the end.

Originally, I had planned to make a longer chant, but I found an unexpected blind spot and had to shorten it in tears.

The blind spot is that if you chant for a long time, the young floating spirit will get bored and become interested in other things, and the magic will fail to work without noticing that the chanting is over.

It is natural for a young child to become interested in other things quickly.

But there are times when shortening a long chanting time helps. That is, the performance that is performed repeatedly in the graduation exercises can be shortened. If the chants had remained long, I would have fallen asleep for sure.

Incidentally, fire is a body-building pose, wind is a Saturday-night-fever dance, water is a hula dance, earth is a robot dance, forest is tai chi (health exercise flavor), and life is based on monkey dance.

I wanted to use the monkey dance for the plants that move with the ups and downs of the monkey dance hands, but thinking of the old people, I exchanged it for the tai chi of the spirit of life.

Well, it seems that you can activate a technique just by shouting its name and pointing your finger, and maybe someday they will invent a way to break the chanting. It depends on the mood of the contracted spirit. .......

Hmmm, we are only halfway through the exercises for the fire spiritist. I'm done with the wind exercises, but it's hard to say that I still have a long way to go.

But Belle and the others are doing their best for their students and I'll at least try not to fall asleep. Oh, I get bored looking at adventurers. I'll pass the time by watching the floating spirits.

"Yuta-dono, I would like you to give me another lesson. It's a revolution in the world of the genie magician!"

When the graduation exercise was over, we were surrounded by Guilmouth and the leaders of the Adventurers' Guild, who had come to observe the exercise. They seemed to be astonished at the effect of the spiritualist's cultivation.

Well, that's understandable. I don't know how long it will take for the sorcerers to be able to fight, but if they can learn some long-range attacks and recovery skills in three days, the Adventurers' Guild will welcome them.

However, it would be a hassle to hold many training courses for sorcerers, and since there are now one hundred and fifty sorcerers available, I think it would be okay if we don't push ourselves too hard for a while.

Hmmm, I don't know what to do. ...... Oh, that's right.

"I'm not thinking of holding a course for a while, but I'd like to increase the number of farmers' necromancers, so if there are more than thirty necromancers who want to become farmers, I can hold a course for them. Oh, and the total number of people should be enough to fill the training hall.

We'll need a few more people to fulfill Dolly's request, and the effort will be minimal if we teach the adventurers together at that time. Two birds with one stone.

I don't know how many of you have the gift of the necromancer, but since we had three hundred people show up the first time, we might as well limit the number of people who show up. I'm afraid that if we don't say anything, they will gather people from all over the country.

"Hmm, there are many adventurers who come from farming families, but more than thirty necromancers who specialize in agriculture. ...... I'll think of various ways to gather them."

I'm sure Betty will be looking for us, and with Ethan and the others spreading the word, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a few people.

"I'll give you some time after the next class, so there's no need to rush.

"What, you're going to leave time?　If Yuta-dono wants to train a genie, now is the time to do it, right?"

...... may be an opportunity, but it's not going to cost you your life. Besides, the belles are going to work, so black is a no-brainer.

Also, teaching chanting and action is hard, so I'd like to think of a way. Oh, it might be a good idea to ask one of the first students to be an instructor.

I'll still give you some time.

I can think of countermeasures easily, but I want to provide a super-white workplace for the Belles, so I'll give them some time. It's called a recharge period.

"I see. ......"

Perhaps reading the firmness of my firm decision in my staunch denial, Gilmas, though disappointed, did not continue the conversation.

If I continue the conversation any longer, I'm sure the executives around me will have something to say about it, so I'd better go home. I have a big banquet tonight to thank Sylphy, Belle and the others for their hard work as teachers, and tomorrow I have to treat Betty too, so I'm busy..." said Gilmas.

"...... is kind of awesome."　

When I left the training hall after finishing my conversation with Guilmouth, I found the reception floor of the Adventurers' Guild crowded with people.

This is more crowded than the last time I had a run-in with Guilmouth. And with so many spirits with me, it's as overcrowded as a crowded train. Moreover, the ratio of men is so high that I can't help but feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, sir, we're all going out for a drink today, would you like to join us?

One of my students, whose name I did not even know for three days, noticed me and invited me out for a drink with a smile.

She smiled and asked me out for a drink. "No, I have some plans this evening. Thank you for inviting me."

I can't make it because I'm having a party today. It's not that I turned down the invitation because the group was full of guys. I have to be nice to Sylphy and Belle and the others.

I think this is the reason why I don't have many friends... but I don't care. Contracted spirits come first.

"Hmm?　Is something wrong?"

The group that spoke to me looked extremely surprised.

"No, what?　Do teachers usually talk like that?"

Oh, I see why you are surprised. When I played the role of a teacher, I switched off and did role-playing, so I must have been surprised at the honorifics.

I wonder why ......?　It was very embarrassing to be seen as I was, even though honorifics are normal.

"Oh, that's... that's... that... that... that... that... that... that... that... As a teacher, dignity is important. But more importantly, what is this state of affairs?　Too many people, right?"

I'm ashamed to change the subject. If you humiliate me any more, I might fire a "Flaming Dragon Bullet", if-version extra-large, so please read the air. If you do it wrong, it will be a massacre.

"Oh, is it this crowded? This is a scout. Your training for the necromancers is so popular that people are gathering here to get a chance to get a fellow student who can use magic. Those two are the most popular. I'm jealous of their recovery magic. I wish I could have signed up too. ......"

I look in the direction where the student points his finger, but all I see is a crowd, but I guess the two people who made a contract with the spirit of life are buried there.

I wonder if the tired old man is popular too, let alone the girl. I talked to him for a while, and he told me that his party broke up due to some bad luck and he was still struggling solo, so it's kind of heartwarming to hear that he's popular.

I wish him the best of luck in his dream of becoming a psychic, not the American dream.

Well, it's not that I don't care what happens to the students, but I've got to get out of here, because I smell like a man. Oh, the talented secretary and Betty are talking.

I've been a big help to her, so let's say hello and go home.
