"I'll be here.
Tracy puts a booklet in front of Takeo and Alice and two people see it... rather than everyone peeks in.
"What's this?
"Yes, it will be a dossier for those who wrote the Elvis family on their first aspiration for final path hopes, which went to students in August this year.
And... that... that's a bad way to put it, but it also puts materials from the top 10 graders behind it.
Oh, I can't give you this material.
We have a brief list of histories to give you on your return.
This will be a document submitted by a duly recruited person upon enlistment.
"Yes, I understand.
... this also has grades on it, right?
"Yes, there are four people who aspire to Elvis territory this year.
Usually... we have a capacity crack for two or three... "
Tracy looks in trouble.
"That won't help.
Alice smiles back.
"... Tracy, is there anything wrong with the number?
Andersen, who was peeking at the material, asks.
"I don't.
"Number 409... you say? You're not coming to Wang Du?
How many are there in the current situation?
"That's number three.
Me and the teachers are letting the students choose whatever they want about the path.
I'm not guiding you.
Andersen arms up and starts to think.
"Lord Alice, may I say something unholy?
"I don't mind... that was two years ago, right?
The grin disappears from Alice. I look at Tracy with a true face.
"Yes, do you understand?
"Your name... is it, is it an orphan?
Alice is lost in thought, and the others don't say anything.
"Why did the other two come to us?
Alice listens.
"Yes, all four people who first aspired to Elvis territory this year are from Elvis territory.
And numbers 409 and 423 have their fathers killed during a goblin raid two years ago.
Those two experienced remarkable growth after the raid.
As of the October grades, 409 is third and 423 is seventh.
In addition, the other two have scored to ask for 27th and 35th place and top.
I would like you to hire these 4 people.
And I'd like you to join the battle squad as they wish.
Tracy bows her head.
"I'm good... but this is all up to your grandfather, your clerks, your martial arts officers.
We'll work on it somehow, so let's keep hiring 4 people.
"Okay.
Alice and Tracy snorted.
"Would you like to hire one of these two over here..."
Takeo shrugs as he watched the material.
"" Huh!?
Alice and Tracy look at Takeo in surprise.
"Dear Takeo!? Is that true?
"Huh?... what does that mean?
Lord Kitamizato is from the Elvis family, right??
Two people ask Takeo.
"Dean of the Academy, he says I have orders to worship the title and permission to set up an institute for weapons.
"Huh? So Lord Kitamizato was made a nobleman?
"Yes.
So they're looking for personnel because they're going to carry a test platoon to establish weapons and protective equipment.
"Oh... really...
What kind of weapon or armor?
"Right... a lightweight shield or a weapon with less convenient killing power for your phone?
And then we also have to do material based research, right?
"How many people are you planning to have?
"It was a platoon of 10 in the draft... but I don't know how much it will officially be.
Oh, you hire researchers and blacksmiths to do prototypes, not just test platoons... "
Takeo worries about "um..."
"Dear Takeo, doesn't Takeo have to decide everything?
I suppose you could hire someone else to manage?
Alice says with a bitter smile.
"Like the word I said the other day... well, yeah.
We'll have to look for someone who can manage both the test platoon and the research funds.
"Lord Kitamizato... do you have criteria for your candidacy?
"... magic, knowledge and readiness.
"I understand the amount of magic and the knowledge... are you ready?
Amy asks Takeo.
"Development... it's magic equipment, too.
I haven't decided what kind of development I'm going to...
There is a risk that if you do poorly, you won't be able to use magic.
"" Huh?
Andersen and Amy are surprised.
"Right... for example"
Takeo raises one finger and puts out a fire at his fingertips.
"This is Fire... but how much magic did you need?
"Sure... I think it was 7 or 8 if it was a number.
Tracy says.
"We can also think of studies that would allow this to be activated with a magic consumption of 2 or 3.
"Huh?... you mean... it's good to consume less magic?
"We're going to study the magic equipment for that.
The test platoon will be responsible for that prototype test.
... If you are equipped with magic equipment that is supposed to consume less magic, it is also possible to consume 100 magic by simply activating the fire.
And worst of all, you might even lose your magical aptitude.
"It is!
Tracy takes a seat.
"That's what research is all about.
Of course, from development to going to the magic platoon after all the tests, magic conduction, and onboard assumptions.
Suddenly I can't give you such a dangerous thing.
But I can't say I never will.
So my exam platoon crew needs to be well prepared even if their magical aptitude no longer sucks.
"What will happen to those who are no longer magically fit..."
Tracy takes her seat and turns her bitter face to Takeo.
"What do you mean?
"Are you going to be fired?
"I won't.
Responsibly, hire that soldier until he quits.
And it's not just magic equipment research.
The development of weapons and protective equipment for people without magic aptitudes, the reflection of new tactics, reconnaissance missions in the event of a change, etc. are all kinds of tasks that are discouraged.
Plus you want researchers from soldiers.
One sword. Very sword tip length, improved handles... a lot to do when you think about it.
"Mmm..."
Tracy worries when she hears Takeo's explanation.
"By the way, Lord Kitamizato, what do you do with the team leader HR?
Andersen asks.
"It's also a troubling place, isn't it?
For once, I have asked His Highness William to confirm whether the personnel who were the main part of the test platoon can choose from a transferable list.
Can you find someone who's ready to say that now... "
Takeo makes a difficult face.
"Oh... is that it?
I think Andersen nods, "I was in the candidate, too".
"In the meantime, we'll have to decide later, won't we?
Takeo leaks his sigh.
"Lord Alice, Lord Kitamizato, would you like to meet those two people who can't fit in?
Unusual... these two people aspire to go almost to Elvis territory and...
Um... you should probably ask him if he's ready to go to the exam platoon.
Tracy asks.
"I'm sorry for us, but if you listen to Mr. Takeo, depending on his readiness, you might want to choose a soldier or a test platoon...
Master Takeo, what do you think?
"It would be better than knowing all of a sudden.
Then this child will be at last, please.
And, Takeo refers to the child behind the list.
"" "Huh?
Everyone was surprised by the child Takeo pointed to.
