A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

"Well... the story has changed dramatically, but I tell that story about the 4th Platoon at the Elvis family.

So I'm thinking of hiring four people on an ad hoc basis this time to run the test.

Look, Smith Boy is coming to Wang Capital next year, so he thinks he'll have round-trip protection with his parents or something.

"Master Smith..."

Genie nods when Kay squeaks.

"So... erm... how far did you talk?

Yeah, yeah, that's my exam platoon.

Mr. Browse, one of Mr. Cade's, and Mr. Cohen, I'd like to hire you.

"" "Huh!?

The three people I was told are astonished.

"Wow... is that me!?

That... to the test platoon, not the 4th platoon!?

Pamela is amazed.

"Yes.... Dean of the College, shouldn't we hire two people?

"No! As long as we're happy!

Tracy bows her head.

"Oh... that! Sir Kitamizato! Can I ask you a question?

Genie asks.

"Go ahead.

"What is it to say... that those with lower grades enlist in the same organization as the King's Capital Guard?

"Yes, you will.

Well, can I tell you something more shocking?

"Ha... yes.

Genie nods.

"If someone tells me I can't only hire one... I'd rather hire this kid than you two.

"Uh... no..."

I'm surprised Kay put his hand on his mouth. Keep your mouth open until you get to Genie.

Pamela is solidified.

"Sure, Mr. Cohen's grades... he's trying his best at sitting, but the exercises are bad for Dantoz.

But there's something about her being better than you guys, isn't there?

"... amount of magic..."

Genie squeaks.

"That's right. I was attracted to this child's amount of magic.

The amount of magic is more than 2,500.

I checked with the Dean of the Academy and he told me he was number one in magic.

You think it's superior to look at all the magicians of history?

"Sir Kitamizato.

I'm... it's taking a while to activate magic, and I'm a frontline magician... but I can't be a force of war... "

"Hmm... right.

Shall we now go into a little more detail about the test platoon?

Takeo began to explain the disadvantages of the test platoon he had just described.

"The extinction of magical aptitude..."

Genie squeaks.

The expression was missing from the faces of the three men who had finished hearing Takeo's explanation.

"Yes.

When doing the exam, ask them to wash out the problem and then do it, but there is absolutely nothing to say it is safe.

There is always a risk.

For example, there is the same danger of some kind of magical weapon on the market.

That's just suppressing with years of accumulation of experience.

If you're coming to my exam platoon, you need to be prepared for that.

The three snort.

"This is the only occasion for this story.

No other words allowed.

Tracy notifies.

"" "Yes!

"Mr. Browse, Mr. Cade.

Both of you can refuse to enlist in the test platoon.

Please pass it on via the Dean of the College at that time.

Me and Master Takeo will manage to get you into the magician's platoon.

You can't just walk in there, can you?

If you want to come in, convince yourself to come in.

Alice says frankly.

"" Yes, Master Alice.

Genie and Kay nod.

"All three of you take your time... though you won't have time to think about it.

Consider it.

In case... Sir Kitamizato says he won't let you go without magical aptitude.

But the extinction of magical aptitude... you have your own dreams.

You can rest your morning lecture.

Calm down.

That's all I'm talking about.

Tracy finishes the interview.

"" "Yes!

"Excuse me.

The three of them were leaving the Dean's office in gratitude.

------------------------

Three people left the dean's office and moved out of nowhere.

"What do we do!?

Pamela squeezes in with her head.

"No... Pamela, are you so worried?

Kay squeaks.

"Huh... shall we go to the dining room for now?

Genie suggests to sigh.

"Right.

"Yeah."

The three went for the dining room.

------------------------

Takeo and the others continue their welcome conversation by rearranging the chair in the Dean's Office.

"Lord Kitamizato, how was it?

"You're funny kids.

Takeo laughs bitterly at Tracy's words.

"1500 for Browse, 1200 for Cade... 2500 for Cohen.

Amy shrugs as she looks at the material.

"The 2500 is amazing.

Only about once a few years would anyone have more than 2,000 magic.

Andersen groans, as do the other Third Magic Division members.

"Cohen doesn't have the power to fly.

The magic activation time really takes more than twice as long as people... and as a soldier, it's subtle.

At the beginning of my school, I was pretty expected to...

By the way, Andersen, do you remember how long we ended up?

Tracy asks Andersen.

"You're 1,600, I'm 1,500.

"... Chief of the Third Magic Squad, what was your final grade?

Amy asks.

"I'm second and Tracy is first.

... I don't know why you're the superior civilian... "

Andersen looks at Tracy in surprise.

"Hehe, isn't that strange?

But I won't tell you.

Tracy laughs bitterly.

"Huh... will you come to us?

Alice says sighingly.

"Aren't those two going to be fine because they're going to come?

"No, Master Takeo. It's about Mr. Cohen.

What would you do if you didn't come?

"Nothing... nothing.

If you're not coming, don't come. You just have to find someone different.

Besides, it's not my purpose to get a rookie.

I just rang because the amount of magic was attractive, and I just wanted to make sure I was ready.

Takeo replied with a bitter smile.
