Episode 7 Impossible to Measure
The next day.
When I went to the guild at the appointed time, there were other participants and a guild instructor.
On the name tag 『Guild Instructor Rejin』was written.
Perhaps, this person will be the one administering the exam.
“Alright, everyone is gathered! This time the participants are three swordsmen, 2 mages, and also. . . .”
Instructor Rejin surveyed the participants while saying so and then turned towards me. . . .
“A tamer. . . .moreover, a slime. . . . It also says that you can use magic, is this a lie?”
He looked at the slime on my shoulder and gave a voice of pity.
Apparently, the topic of a slime tamer was a bit delicate.
Maa, it would surely look week when it comes to a slime.
Also, it seems that normally, tamers cannot use magic.
However. . . .it can’t be helped since I can actually use it.
“Also, it was not a lie.”
Is what I said, referring to the piece of paper that instructor Rejin has.
I wrote it at the guild yesterday, it is the part where occupation is written.
“. . . . Maa, we will see about that. Also about speaking of a slime, I just heard a funny rumor.”
“That is, are you talking about Gale?”
“That, they said that a slime used magic to help Gale. . . .”
The 2 other participants reacted to Instructor Rejin’s words.
About that slime. . . . I think I may have an idea.
“Oh. First of all, I am sure that there was some sort of mistake. Perhaps, it was a stray spell from a mage fighting nearby.”
Iya, they misunderstood it..
I will not correct it since it is troublesome.
“And so, let’s go take the exam. Also Yuji, if you want to be an adventurer, you should stop using honorifics. ”
. . . . honorifics, it is not good huh.
“I understa. . . . okay. Is that ok?”
“Ah. An aspiring adventurer who uses honorifics, it has been a while.”
Apparently for adventurers, it seems that it is normal not to use honorifics.
If the enemy is a monster, with a human being as a partner, the system of command will be exposed to weak points.
It is hard to determine the hierarchical relationship from the outside, it may be a kind of self-defense.
“Jaa, It’s the first test. . . . this is only for magicians. The two mages. . . . and Yuji, come here.”
Instructor Rejin said so and called me over before the counter of the guild.
On top of the counter, there is an unfamiliar crystal ball.
“This, put your hands on it.”
The two other mages’ names were called, they placed their hands on the crystal ball.
Then, the crystal ball glowed faintly red.
“Fire. . . . an attribute used by most adventurers. Though there is not a lot of power, I think it will grow if you train a lot. . . . . next!”
AS he said it, the second mage came forward, he placed his hands on the crystal ball.
The crystal ball this time flashed brown.
The strength of the light, it is much stronger than the person before.
“Earth attribute. . . . it is a common attribute, it also has a considerable amount of power. It is easy to use because earth magic is common, you will become a great mage if you can master it. This exam, has been an abundant harvest!”
Instructor Rejin stopped talking. . . . he turned and looks towards me.
“Well then, Yuji put your hand on this. Also if you cannot use magic, then it will not glow.”
. . . . I see.
If you lie about being able to use magic then they will know right away, it is extraordinary.
Maa, even without using such things, you can actually know if someone can use magic.
As I was thinking about such things, I reached for the crystal ball. . . . then something, the crystal ball started to look strange.
It’s light was being unstable, and it was vibrating and clattering.
When I retracted my hand, the vibrations settled and the light faded . . . . is something wrong I wonder.
“This, is touching it ok?”
I asked Instructor Rejin.
Somehow, I have a bad feeling about this.
Obviously, the way it was shining was kinda dangerous.
“Of course. We will correct this, go ahead and touch it. . . .”
Instructor Rejin said it was ok, the application examination was shaken.
But, do not change it for me.
In the first place, why would you need to change it if nothing was wrong.
. . . . maa, if it is ok then, I guess I will touch it.
That is what I decided, I reached in straight for the crystal ball.
The closer my hands are, the stronger the glow and vibrations on the crystal ball.
Right before I could reach it, the crystal ball made a sound and then broke.
“. . . . wa?”
. . . . Instructor Rejin’s voice, it echoed throughout the guild that suddenly turned silent.
