Mushoku no Eiyuu ~Betsu ni Skill Nanka Iranakattan daga~

Wow, that's a lot of people.

Yes.

The day of the entrance exam.

When I went to the academy, it was packed with people.

'Are they all taking the exam?'

'No, I think half of them are parents. They're obviously older.

There's an age limit for admission, ten to eighteen years old.

But there's no family register in this world, and how do they check the age?

And then you think.

You will first be asked to take an appraisal. It's to find out your age and occupation.

I see, so you can find out your age from the appraisal.

After the Blessing Ceremony, I took the appraisal and got a certificate, but as expected, I didn't remember that it had my age written on it.

We stood in line as we were told.

There were a lot of "appraiser" people there, and they were appraising each one of the candidates one by one.

Soon it was our turn.

Leila was the first to go.

''Eh.........?　Well, [Magical Sword Princess].........?

I guess it's really no good, but the appraiser was so surprised that she shouted Leila's profession out loud.

Hearing that, the people around her made a noise.

''《Magic Sword Princess》........?　Never heard of that?

But no matter how you look at it, it's the upper-tier equivalent of the [Magical Swordsman]...?

''In other words, [Highest Position].......?　A kid like that...?

Shouldn't you have been blessed not long ago...?

When Layla received the results of the evaluation, it was my turn to follow.

''Is it the girl's sibling now...?''

If that's the case, isn't that guy a great job...?

Hey, I'm being expected to do something........

The appraiser also has a somewhat nervous look on her face.

But unfortunately, I'm not a [top-level position] like Leila, you know.

While everyone around me became quiet and listened attentively, I'm sure the appraiser was bracing herself to not make the same mistake as before this time.

''Huh...?　Mu, 《Unemployed》...?

This time it was a muttered voice, but it seemed to be heard clearly because of the thinning of the surroundings.

There was a sudden burst of laughter.

"Hey, hey, it's "unemployed"!

'Seriously?　I've never heard of that before!

I'm surprised you even thought about taking it. There's no way you're going to get in, unless you fail.

The appraiser hurriedly pressed his mouth, but it was no longer the case later.

''I'm sorry too........''

No, don't worry about it.

I interceded and joined Leila, who was waiting for me.

''Ugh, Ark is awesome!

For some reason, Leila was more indignant at the ridiculous stares from those around her.

Then as we were heading towards the exam room, there was a group of people rushing towards us.

''Whoa.''

I get pushed away by them.

Apparently the only person they want is Leila.

'You, of course you're going to join the martial arts department!

I'd love to join the martial arts department!

No, no, no, it has to be witchcraft!

'Yes!　The martial arts department needs to back off!

It seems to be the faculty and staff of this institute.

They seem to know that there are excellent candidates, and they want them to choose their own department, no matter what.

Of course, no one pays attention to me as an "unemployed" person.

........no, there are people who point at me who were left behind and laugh at me.

''Huh?　No?

Where did he go?

They had been arguing around Layla, and suddenly they started to panic.

When I looked, Leila was gone.

As it should be, she was right behind me.

''Whew, that was hot and stuffy! Ark, let's go!

Apparently, she used cloak and dagger to get out.

Leila disappeared and headed to the exam room with me.

Then I saw a new line of people waiting in line.

Apparently, I'll have to wait in line again.

After a while, my turn comes around.

'You will be asked to select the department you wish to attend here.

'What?　I have to pick one of them!

''Of course. We can only enroll in one of the general, martial arts or magic departments.

This was new to me.

The pamphlet did indeed state that there were three departments, but it didn't say that I could only enter one of them.

........Well, it's obvious when you think about it.

It's probably because it's obvious, that's why they didn't bother writing it down.

'Eh, why?　My dad was in six schools at the same time!

Six...?

'Leila, that's probably too special an example...'

The lady at the reception desk says, a little puzzled.

'Naturally, we thought it would be best for you to join a department with a high degree of occupation and aptitude.

It was up to the candidate to decide which department to take.

But it was normal to take the department for the given profession.

''However, it's true that with this profession...''

The receptionist's sister gets a difficult look on her face as she looks at Layla's appraisal form.

''However, due to the overlapping of classes, it's practically impossible for you to enter more than one department. I'm sorry, but we have no choice but to ask you to choose one of them.

Then Leila came up with something and clapped her hands with a pop.

'Then Leila will be in the magic department!　ARC is a martial arts department!

Uh, yeah I don't mind either way, but are you sure?

I'll be fine!

Yeah?

It was so easy for Layla to pull back.

I have a bad feeling about this.......from past experience, Leila's words of okay are rather unsettling.

Anyway, this is how it came to pass the martial arts exam for me and the magic exam for Leila.
