In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 124 Selection Board, and Qualifiers.
Selection Day. The people of the town, Mr. Tsubaki's men, and the number tags reported by the cats could not creep through the gates of the castle. Naturally, some of them were going to eat down, but when I told them the details of what I had done in this country, I went home amazing. This disqualifies about 50 people, and the rest is about 950. Just a 20th less? Not yet.
Enter the castle and gather the desired people in the training area space. On the steep but created stage, me and Mr. Rain, Mr. Norn, Mr. Nicola's troupe chief and deputy chief trio, and Grandpa from Horse Farm and the old man from Mountain Prefecture went up. Next to the stage, Else and Linze, Eight times Yumina, Lou and Tsubaki, etc. are holding me back.
The smartphone was operated and the speaker function raised the volume of the audio.
"First of all, welcome to the Principality of Brunhild. It's the Prince of this country, Hope Moon Winter Night. We're going to do a selection of our Knights, but blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. As a Knights, there are quite a few other chores in addition to national security. As you can see from the beasts behind me, I don't even sneak around with my identity or race. Still, just stay where you are. '
When I said so, the recruiters went out of their way. Several of them turn back towards the castle gate. Ma, I didn't think you'd all stay. If you are unhappy at this point, you should ask them to resign on this occasion.
"First, then, let me show you your strength. Step out of the castle gate and come around the castle moat."
Everyone had a subtle look on my words like they ate a shoulder watermark somewhere. The castle is roughly two kilometers away. You think it's too short to guess your health.
"By the way, ranking doesn't really matter. You can come around at your own pace. Retired... because if you get tight and abstain, remove the badge you're wearing and you'll be back here. Bye."
Finish listening to me. No, I'll do magic to everyone who tries to run out.
"Gravity"
"What!?
Suddenly everyone weighted crawled to the ground.
"I put weighted magic on you all. Please come around in that state. If you don't think you can do it anymore, as I said, if you remove the badge, it will be transferred here."
Those who were crawling get up one after the other and walk out of the castle gate at low speeds. Not so much a tortoise march, but much slower than walking speed.
I'm not adding so much weight that I won't be able to move, so I'll be able to walk. Although it would use a lot of physical strength. I'm putting all the sneakers on surveillance so they don't cheat or fall into the moat by mistake.
"Does ranking or something really matter?
"Hmm... well, to a certain extent, this is not a test to see your strength"
I answer Mr. Rayne's query. [M] Sure, now I know how to rank excellence in strength. But that's not what I wanted to know.
"What would you do this to see if it wasn't a test to see your strength?
"guts"
"Guts?"
Are you serious? You can't have people retiring lightly. Probably the type to throw it out right away if something gets tight. Then I'm in trouble.
To some extent, if time passes and he doesn't come back, he decides to head to the rescue once and for all. Those who have given up by then are the true disqualified. If you still try to score a goal without giving up, the person is passing.
Retired people were transferred one after the other, even while Mr. Rain was talking about it like that. Come on. Come on. Come on.
I will solve "Gravity" and restore health with "Refreshment" and then you will be promptly returned. Well, I wonder how many will stay.
There were about 950 hopefuls down to about 480 at once. That means nearly half of them will have been retired.
The superiors had many beasts and demons of excellent health, but that doesn't really matter. Because if you don't even retail for it, you pass. Whether it was chilling or acknowledging my lack of strength, there will be many reasons, but it doesn't change what I gave up. Thank you.
Restore health by applying healing magic to all who score goals and pass without giving up.
Okay, next exam.
"The next step will be a practical exam. You can use whatever you like with your weapon. If you can strike me in half an hour, I'll pass. I'll deal with him with this wooden knife. Let's get started."
I got the wooden knife in my hand and told him to start, but no one's coming at me. Is that it? Wondering, one of them raised his hand for a snack.
"Um, in what order?
Oh, you mean that.
"There's no order. Please call us all. You can do everything you can."
You thought you were ridiculed by these words of mine, and at the same time we all swung and attacked the gains in our hands.
"Accelerator"
He uses accelerating magic to wiggle between them and puts a blow with a wooden knife in some of the crevices. There are just so many of them, they push me from next to next. but avoid even it, and if there is a gap, it strikes down.
I won't attack you from here without so much clearance. This review examines the skills of the horse farm's grandfather, the mountain prefecture's old man, Else and Octavian participants to make sure they fill in the number once they have reached a certain level. For those of you who obviously haven't gotten there from me, I'm sorry, but I'm going to give you a blow and have you fall off.
Occasionally a sharp blow takes place, but there is no more creation to avoid than the "accelerator" is applied. When I realized, more than half of them fell in and most of them just managed to stand.
"That's it. It's time."
Mr. Rayne announced the end of the exam. Everyone sits on the ground at the same time as that word. I mean, I was surprised because I knew someone a little during the game.
Turn your gaze toward the two people who are falling. Oh, I knew it was Mr. Rebecca and Mr. Logan. They're both adventurers we helped in the Rabbi Desert. You know, I run a reading coffee in Belfast, and they did security and stuff, so why are you here?
They both raised their hands gently when they noticed my gaze. I'd like to ask you, but I have eyes around me, and when I find out I know you, it's going to be a pain in the ass. I don't know if there's anyone out there who can say that.
In the meantime, heal magic on everyone who is falling and receive the notes of the horse farm grandfathers.
"I'll tell you the results then. If you were called for a number, go here, and if you weren't called, you will unfortunately be disqualified. Please return from the castle gate. Then we will begin the announcement. Number tags Nos. 3, 14, 21…"
As a result, a little over 100 people remained. The same is true of those I struck down because of the gaps, but those who did not aggressively attack have also been disqualified. I don't want to evaluate my skills in a field that appeals to me.
Both Mr. Rebecca and Mr. Logan had passed, by the way. This is not my decision, so it is not my decision.
You've been squeezing a lot. Let's make a decision in the interview.
Take the passers and head to the knighthood building in the castle. Keep them in separate rooms and prepare for the interview in the next room. Me and the captain, Mr. Rain, Yumina, and the other one in charge of the interview. I had already called this country for someone to help me with that.
"I'm sorry I bothered. Thanks for your time."
"No, it's nothing like this. Because you owe me so much."
The Pope replies with a smile. He contacted the Ramishi state in advance to ask for help. Several of the saint knights of the escort also refrain in the rear of the room. The final judgment interview is conducted with the demonic eye that discerns the lies under the Pope and the demonic eye that discerns the essence of Yumina.
Once a celebrity, "Mirage" asks the Pope to change his appearance. I took the order to look some younger then. I don't think it matters because I'm going to be someone else altogether... the female psychology is complicated.
Then I'll call you five at a time.
Mr. Nicolas left the room and brought the five back. There are two beasts and three humans. Suggest you sit in a chair placed in the center of the room.
"Then the one on the left asks for your name, age, and place of birth"
Me and Mr. Rain ask an unusual question, and in the meantime, Yumina, next to me, checks the essence of the five with the Devil's Eye. Whenever the five people in front of us answer our questions, the left hand of the pope next to us on the right is held or opened. This is a pre-meeting coder, and it stays open when you're telling the "true" thing. "Lie" when it's gripped. I'm going to ask the questions as I look at it.
I'm not going to disqualify you for lying about anything. Humans, there are things you don't want to talk about, and when you find out, there will be a lot of trouble. But there's no way I can trust a guy who's been painted with lies from what?
Well, even if I answer honestly, if I care more about myself than the people, if I get paid, I'll do anything, I don't mind betraying you, but I'm not going to pass what you say.
After the first five interviews, when they all left the room, Yumina opened her mouth first.
"You should stop being the third and fifth person from the left. Seems like you're thinking of something else."
"Surely those two lied a lot. It was a brilliant poker face, though."
"Poker face......? Oh, it's a technology that keeps you from reading expressions in poker."
In the meantime, write down the bat stamp on those two and ask Mr. Nicolas to call the next five. Do you do this about 20 more times? Oh, my God.
"Uh, I'm tired..."
At the end of everyone's interview, I plunge myself to my desk. It's so much easier to stand around a lot of people.
It's not a fox and fox makeover, but when I see a guy with a smile and a flat face and a lie to exhale, I feel like a poof. It's also a nasty ability to spot lies.
"You don't usually try to activate it. Sometimes you don't need to know."
You're right, Pope, if you're discerning anything from one end of the spectrum, don't fall into human disbelief. Would I have made it impossible? Let's have a dinner party later and work it out.
For now, minus the disqualified, there are 64 successful candidates. It's a little over capacity, but you can handle this.
37 men and 27 women. There are more women than I thought. This seems to be a factor in other countries where women are hard to get into the Knights. There was a Knights recruitment for "men and women, races and identities," so the powerful ones also came.
Mr. Rebecca was for that reason, by the way. Apparently, Mr. Logan was also looking for a decent quorum. You think you're getting married to anything? With Mr. Rebecca? When I heard that, they said, "Why are you two doing this?" Apparently another woman. Excuse me.
Twenty-two of the 64 successful candidates were Beasts and Demons. I don't know if the Beasts are coming because the same Beasts are in the captain, but I guess the Demons were a little unexpected.
A Demonic is a species that is close to the form of man, even a so-called subhuman (the Beast also enters this), but close to the Warcraft. Vampires, Lamia, Ouga, Arlaune, etc. enter this. They can have a proper conversation, they're not hostile to humans, but no one tries to get involved too deeply.
Sometimes I still hate its appearance and racial characteristics. So much so that in some countries (as in the previous Ramish) they may be crusaded.
So the demonic tribe interviewed him particularly strictly, but the five demonic tribes that passed were fine with the demonic eye of Yumina, and they also told the truth to the Pope's examination with his demonic eye. All wanted to live in human society, so those five, (two vampires, Ouga, Arlaune and Lamia), passed.
Hi. When I said vampire, I had an image of a vampire, but she didn't have a problem smoking anything else. Like cigarettes and liquor, some people like it, others don't. The vampire who came to us said he didn't like blood. Weird guy.
Anyway, I wonder if this is one way shaped. There are still a lot of details though. But it's going to be a cluttered knighthood. Well, that's more interesting.
