Sweet Reincarnation

At the Royal Institute, one decision was about to be made.

It was a more problematic matter than ever, but it was a recent decision against a lab with a lot of “problems”.

A meeting room in the laboratory. Looking over the brains of the Kingdom of God gathered there is the Director of the Institute.

"This time, the general purpose magic lab was to be integrated"

To the director's voice, the lab directors give a variety of expressions. The joyful, the grieving, the angry, the indifferent.

It is those who currently belong to the mainstream who are pleased. Those who have studied what can be called the King's Road, they prided themselves on supporting the Institute from day to day. Compared to that, many people have feelings of contempt for generic research. One less “pointless” lab by their standards makes them happy to have more lab resources coming around.

Budget, personnel, facilities and spaces, everything is finite and competition for usurpation is fundamental. There are also labs that say your letters are empty and can be used instead of storage. Someone who is open to a narrow lab and hopes that he will manage to expand the lab a little more. From them, I can only rejoice if there are fewer laboratories I don't need.

It is those who study shade who grieve. It's not by any means pointless, but it exists to say that research really lacks glamour. It is sometimes referred to as a study that the general public does not understand the need for, or tends to be misunderstood.

History and the like are just reading old books, they can be scorned as useless where the past turns out, and philosophy and the like can't be called academics just because they're screwing around the airspace theory on the desk.

Researchers in these minor fields of research see the fact that generic research was to be integrated and practically crushed, and fear that it might be their turn next.

The anger of the angry comes from dissatisfaction with fellowship.

The Institute is royal and those to whom it belongs also work with honor. I am proud to belong to the Royal Institute. That is why researchers, with the same title, dislike being unfairly disparaged. This decision was decided only by the Director and his surroundings without being informed by other researchers, etc. Obviously, there is an intention to disparage certain laboratories.

What was the same researcher as ourselves is on the side of demeaning the researcher. Don't be angry about this, it's an outrageous cliché about what to do. It means those driven by righteousness and righteousness.

Who did you do it to, and it's definitely a sudden announcement.

Therefore, the voice of surprise rises from there.

"Huh!? Why is that? Tell us why"

For the researchers of water in their sleeping ears, it would be a natural question.

Why should the lab be crushed? Especially, people with a sense of crisis listen seriously.

"In view of the world situation yesterday, the Institute must also strengthen its research system. Understand me as a part of that."

"Institutional strengthening…"

"Uhm. In the time to come, the institute will demand more. However, the budget and personnel are finite, and it is not something that we will try to increase immediately. There will therefore be a need for more effective budgeting and staffing. I want you to think of this action as part of it."

"Ha."

Research is a gold-eating bug. It is also a risky investment because it multiplies money on uncertain whether it will succeed or not. That is why the opinion existed at all times that limited resources should be used efficiently. Just like a politician screaming for political reform, he's the one who's always a certain number of reformists in all times.

However, when he takes the position of Director, he often begins to abhor reforms. Changing things creates reactions at the same time as action. At the same time as the praise of doing well, there is resentment as to why you did it. Human beings tend to have stronger feelings of resentment than praise. There are more overwhelming human beings who are better at disparaging than praising people. When the reform was carried out, the person on the praising side took the need for it for granted, and the person on the derogatory side took the extra thing for granted. The outbreak of resentment is unavoidable unless excessive dissatisfaction and depression have accumulated.

In this case, praise, anyway, tends to be the spearhead of resentment, hence the top of the reform.

Normally, a person of stable standing, the Director, would not wave his own flag and try to move forward with reform. Even if change is needed, someone leaves the flag waving role to another human being so that he does not suffer resentment, and he is hiding behind it. When you cut your neck in large quantities with retardation, you don't do it directly with the president, you set up a specialist director in charge to cover the mud, and the upper management only gets delicious results. It's a human ego that people don't want to hate, but want to have delicious thoughts.

Until then when it comes to the logic of the organization, even in a place called the Institute, there is no escape from the dirty parts between adults.

In other words, I guess the director's remark about this reform is that the reform of the institute is only before the building of Odd.

The smart guys, they easily guessed.

"I also know that generic research is working hard. That's what you guys are trying to do."

"Thank you"

"But... I dare say harsh, generic research has been less fruitful than other laboratories for some time now"

"On your left."

Generic Magic Laboratory, commonly known as Generic Research. The big goal is to make magic versatile for everyone, and for that reason it was once studied at great cost. From the fact that the Kingdom of God is a magical backward country, it has a history of achieving a certain degree of accomplishment, such as discovering and practicing ways to inhibit magic, founded as a search for means to counter the Holy Nation, which is a magical power, etc.

Research content is common, and researchers are perceived as irrelevant. However, it is also true that it has not been easy here lately.

Originally, it was difficult to generalize magic. Generalizing magic means that wizards are no longer special. That is why, even though it is a magical study, there is a structural flaw that the wizard does not cooperate with us.

In addition, the underlying theory, which is the result of the original research, is the theory using light money. This light gold is a substance that costs more per unit than pure gold, and if you try to study it properly, you need it as hot water.

It has been seen as problematic that people with many technical and structural difficulties are unable to produce research results even if they are very good.

Since sometime ago, it has been regarded as a left-hand department in personnel, and the researchers to whom it belongs have managed to escape by helping other laboratories.

Everyone understood that lack of results meant referring to situations like that.

"Where to integrate?

"Still undecided, but I'm thinking of integrating with mineral research"

Mineral research, as its name suggests, is a laboratory that brings together experts on minerals in general. It is one of the laboratories that conducts basic research, and an outdoorsy laboratory that also conducts surveys of mineral distribution within the Kingdom of God, as well as reservoir surveys of existing mines and exploration of new mineral veins.

Only laboratories with a lot of fieldwork also have a lot of manual, simple labor. It's a lab with bees and lots of fleshy researchers who imitate miners and do highho highho highho with one hand.

Usually from the brainstorming studying in the room, where it is integrated, you will only see a future that is physically terrible. Where I was suddenly thrown out of specialty, I had to start by acquiring the basics. In the meantime, drilling as an underwork or small-time user is the same in every lab.

"Fellows of generic research have many excellence. At the corner, integration was the conclusion we had in mind in order to make more useful use of its capabilities. Do you have an opinion?

"No, I don't"

Researchers in general purpose research excel. There is no one to deny that point. It was the Royal Institute that brought together wise men from all over the country. As one, there is no incompetence. The only people who are here are those with poor rules who have lost the power struggle.

If you think it's a placement shift, not a neck, it's a decision you still don't even understand.

"Hmm, next agenda then. For new donations."

The fellows changed the color of their eyes to the next agenda put out by the director.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Horwood-Mill-Sokiholo, chief researcher at the General Magic Laboratory, had been summoned by the director one day.

What the hell is there? That's the earliest rumor, so there's no element of surprise.

Yeah, you've finally got something to come, something like that. The director smiles joyfully at Horwood, who stands in a relaxed and proud position.

"Congratulations, you've decided to flourish."

"Oh, is it glory"

Horwood's gaze at the director, who doesn't seem to break his happy, joyful attitude anywhere, is cold. Because I know the inner truth well, it doesn't resonate with my mind when it comes to glory. Number one, the bastard in front of you is the direct cause of Horwood's many years of cold rice feathers. If I had been myself a few months ago, I might have beaten up a lot of anger. Even if it is calm and relative, there are already major changes in mood.

"We must always walk on the cutting edge of our time and be challengers to the untouched. Always reform and moving forward are the friends. Isn't that what researchers are for?

"I think you're right about that"

It's a wonderfully crisp pre-construction.

It makes no sense if researchers fear the unknown. Researchers are always challenged by things they don't know, things they don't know, and the first time. Horwood nodded.

"So this time, general purpose research was to be integrated. As we move forward with the new era, generic research is at the forefront of it. Congratulations."

What do you want to see? Horwood, who does not hide his feelings like that, listens to the director with no expression on his face.

"The new department will be mineral research. I was not sure which one to use for civil research. Based on your research theme yesterday, how much expertise would you have in ore?

"Well, yes."

With regard to the research topics of general purpose research to date, in order to generalize magic, there was a study of substances that store magic power. As was the case with light gold, mono- and homogeneous substances were considered to have good affinity with magic, and minerals were a major research theme.

The director is also at the mercy of magic researchers, and I am aware of the progress of research in general purpose research. The opinion that if it were ore, it would be more familiar than normal was also often not a mistake, but integrated with laboratories close to it to transfer, because at first glance it would seem sensible.

If you don't even see the intention of letting them do manual labor and abuse you, maybe this is the occasion to thank you.

"Do you have any questions?

"No, I don't"

"Well, then back off. As for your treatment... I'm going to be Hira's researcher, but I want you to try your best."

With the same smile on his face, the director tells of his brutal HR.

Originally, Horwood and I weren't close. After driving him to general purpose research with obvious left-hand transition HR, he now pokes at the irrationality of demotion again.

Of course, the director has a point. Fellow Horwood was originally given a managerial place in general purpose research because he has whispered but achieved results and gained a career in it. As we move here to other laboratories, even if we suddenly become chief researchers, will our status not be accompanied by strength?

The head of decorations comes pounding and can follow researchers with more expertise than the head. Now, the morale of the researchers I've been with is going down.

I'm sure it makes sense. Horwood, as long as one person endures, everything else fits round.

When this happens, behind the smile of the director, you will feel emotions close to sadistic weak things abuse. Try it Horwood, it's not what started now, such as the director's bad character.

The middle-aged fellow finally says what he wanted to say here.

"No, that's the thing, but if we're going to run out of general-purpose research, I'm thinking we should quit."

Horwood looks at the director's face with a belligerent grin. Interestingly enough, the director's face can only be described as a wolf.

Apparently, even if he did, he didn't even think about it to the point of making him quit.

"Quit the lab?

"Yes."

"Why? Even though there will be no more positions, if we continue to produce research results, we will also be able to take the position above. You'd have the ability to do that."

Principal Horwood researchers are people who have maintained generic research that people no longer contribute to, and who have been structurally extremely challenging yet marginally productive. Compared to the spicy acids that have been licked in general purpose research, it is as sweet as candy, such as starting over from a download in a "decent lab“ like this one in HR.

Two or three years, or maybe five. If we make good results, we can take the position of chief researcher again. That's what I said, the director trying to hold back. He was not willing to let go of a good researcher, even though he was involved in the task of crushing generic research.

"It's an honor to be so appreciative, but I can no longer work on boulders."

Horwood's determination is stiff.

I suspect that the director is about to turn his hand around to another research institute to stop him from returning to work, but he still doesn't resolutely flip his resignation.

"Well... I'm just sorry I was buying your abilities. Well, can you give me a resignation?"

"Here."

The resignation applicant removed a roll of parchment from his pocket. It is an official document, waxed with the family crest of the Sokiholo family.

"It's a good thing you're ready. Were you going to do that from the start?

"I've been feeling thin for a long time, and lately it's been rumored to be flourishing"

Rumors that generic research would be integrated had already flowed within the Institute as a finalised fact. Anyway, the director spoke on the occasion of the gathering of senior researchers, who were the main ones.

I had too much time to decide to quit.

"Okay, I'll take this. Hand over your personal belongings, so that you can dawn your room by the due date."

"Yes."

"Do you have any future assumptions? If you like, I'll show you where you can buy a background on the fellows."

I just quit my position as a researcher, and my recruitment will be tough. Since decent research institutions are basically under the influence of the Royal Institute, they will not reach out to people who quit because of the frustration of the director of the Royal Institute.

As director, I hang on to the idea that I can mediate a place of re-employment with my last compassion.

But Horwood shakes his neck to the side.

"... I'd like to slow down for a while"

"Right. Well, thank you for your hard work."

It was cold around for something to quit.

I'm sorry, I didn't even have company to voice my best from now on, but for what's left, it's important now. Few things are intimate with what you're quitting.

Horwood holds personal belongings that had already been put together and leaves the Royal Institute behind.

Stop and look back once and look over at the workplace you've worked for so long.

And walk out again.

"Alright!!

The former chief, the man who became, looked up at the sky with a clear feeling.
