101 – Trinity
The content of the [Special Talent Training Program] was exceptional.
The educational policy of raking up and rapidly growing the purely talented, regardless of race, nobility, or race, was the same as saying that it would break the tradition of the current aristocratic society head-on.
There is only one reason why the present aristocratic society can be maintained.
This is because the unique technology of the family is passed on and developed to the next generation.
The commoners cannot increase the number of rings no matter how much they train.
why?
This is because they do not have the know-how they have accumulated over hundreds of years.
Each family’s swordsmanship and Auror operation methods are the products of the nobles, and these techniques are strictly managed.
At least the war mercenaries steal the skills of the fallen nobles to make their own swordsmanship and learn how to use the aura, but they do not pass it on to their children.
Unless you are a genius like Tigris in the first place, you cannot properly follow the swordsmanship you have learned with only swordsmanship books, and even if you do, you will create a completely different kind of technique.
Occasionally, geniuses like Gordon come out among the mercenaries, but such geniuses eventually rise to the ranks of the aristocracy, just as Berghan made his disciples.
Or die by reconciliation with the dew of the battlefield.
However, this special talent education program was to break down the barriers between the aristocrats and the commoners to provide advanced education that was only allowed to the aristocrats.
Maleus read the contents with an absurd expression on his face.
“I will provide education for each talented person by unraveling the descriptions of the fallen family, Auror operation, and unique magic in the library of the Empire. Is this possible?”
Although Maleus had not long lived in the Empire, he knew very well how much the nobles were obsessed with the technology, know-how, and data of their family.
Of course, you might say that it doesn’t matter that the skills of the fallen families are to be released to the common people.
However, he knew very well that the reason the nobles were obsessed with technology and know-how was not simply because of history and tradition, but because of the very fundamental desire that they did not want to have their rice bowls taken away.
Bastian said, stroking his beard.
“I know what your concerns are. You must be concerned that the nobles will react as a group.”
If you have 3 or 4 dogs, cows, or rings, the value of existence of nobles and knights disappears.
Therefore, the nobles do not thoroughly disclose their growth know-how, and when their technology is exposed, Gaheon’s knights are dispatched and executed immediately.
The magic is even worse.
If a wizard teaches magic to a commoner who is not permitted, he will send a hunter from the wizard’s family to strike him in the neck unconditionally for any reason.
The knights at least teach their knights the swordsmanship of the family, but the wizarding families prevent the commoners from even accessing magic at all.
How will the Empire break the trend of this closed aristocratic society?
The answer was surprisingly simple.
“The Emperor himself will confer titles on all commoners who have passed all the special talent training programs.”
Teho tilted his head.
“I don’t know much about human society, but I do know that the title of nobility is not so easily granted.”
For a commoner to become a nobleman, it is really as hard as a camel going through the eye of a needle.
It is possible only if you have a talent that is likely to appear in a century like Gordon, or achieve ridiculous achievements such as saving the country.
But do you simply give a title for passing this training program?
Are the nobles just watching?
it was never
“you’re right. However, it is also true that the number of aristocrats in the current empire has decreased significantly.”
When the Lucet Empire was founded, the number of noble families was a whopping 984.
However, it has now dropped to a third.
The reason for this sharp decline in numbers is simple.
It was just greed.
In the past, there were races that threatened mankind, such as dragons, witches, and giants, so it was impossible to expand their power arbitrarily.
There were only two things that threatened humanity: the monster and the nobleman next to them.
They want to get better land.
To expand the power of one’s family.
To survive.
Wars were waged for various reasons, and they ate and ate each other, and their numbers plummeted.
“Besides, as noble families in the Black Land region were liquidated, it was a car that needed nobles to rule the region. The magistrates can’t rule the area forever, and they need a lord to rule the area. Even nobles who are truly loyal to the Empire.”

Justification is enough.The land of the black soil cannot be left idle.
Therefore, among the common people, geniuses who will be of great help to the empire are appointed and given the title of nobility and then given the fief.
Originally, this would have been impossible without the emperor’s power, but now the emperor’s power is rising without knowing the sky, so it will be able to pass at once.
Teho thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Then what are the beasts and dwarves going to do? Humans will understand to some extent if they say that commoners are appointed as nobles. But, wouldn’t it be objectionable if the beasts were to learn the skills of humans?”
Bastian had a way of thinking about this too.
“Instead, shouldn’t the beasts also provide technology to humans?”
“When it comes to technology, are you talking about magic?”
“Yes. That’s right. Of course, there must be other skills that beasts can teach humans.”
Emperor Todd opened his mouth.
“The Empire will propose a technical alliance to the Suin Autonomous Region. Surely there are people who have talents related to witchcraft among humans. Instead of teaching them, we’re going to do it as an exchange, teaching humans skills.”
“And the Empire has no intention of ending it here. The Empire intends to naturally pursue economic and military alliances beyond technological alliances with beasts.”
Teho thought deeply and opened his mouth.
“Then we can put pressure on the Gillion Kingdom.”
“Yes. That’s right. Even if there is a problem in the Suin Autonomous Region or the Empire, there is room for us to intervene.”
Tigris said as he looked at Maleus, who was fiddling with the papers in an unfavorable way.
“Maleus. Do you have any problem?”
“Hmm······.”
Maleus sighed and put down the papers.
“If humans develop and beasts develop, it will be a win-win for each other. But from the Dwarf’s point of view, this is not a very attractive proposal.”
“Why?”
“The various engineering and enchantment skills that Dwarves have are several levels higher than those of humans.”
Dwarves are a long-lived race that lives for 1,000 years, and they meticulously write down the technologies they developed like humans and pass them down to the next generation.
As a result, engineering technology is several centuries ahead of humans.
“I might say it’s arrogant, but there are very few skills that humans can pass on to the Dwarves. Dwarves are not a race that can handle swordsmanship or magic, and they have no interest.”
Bastian said, stroking his beard.
“By the way, isn’t enchantment magic? Isn’t magic skill something that humans can teach us?”
“Dwarves have the art of enchanting weapons without using magic. That’s what we call magic engineering.”
“When it comes to magic engineering, humans also possess it. Isn’t the train the product of that engineering?”
Maleus smirked.
“You can’t compare a toy train like that to a Dwarf’s. It still seems to be rolling with an engine powered by a steam engine, but we operate only with the power of pure mana. We call it a horsepower engine.”
Tigris opened his mouth.
“But the dwarves were defeated by Lota and Arphem. The jungle was ravaged and food ran out, and the lunar eclipse knights and black reapers broke through the steel walls and slaughtered the dwarves. Because none of the weapons the Dwarves had could stop the spirits.”
“Kuh-hum… that’s true, but it might be possible if we start making efforts from now on.”
“Wouldn’t it be good for each other if we jointly develop that technology in the Empire instead of in a volcanic area?”
“It’s not wrong. But, will those old guys really move those heavy buttocks… Well, that’s something I’ll have to convince.”
It’s honestly too much of a story to want the Empire to do everything from one to ten.
Not only the Empire, but the future of the Dwarves and the entire continent depended on it, but unraveling some of the technologies developed by the Dwarves is nothing.
Bastian looked at Tejo and Maleus and said.
“Do you have any other questions?”
“There is one thing.”
Not Tejo and Maleus, but Berggan spoke.
“It is understandable to bring and educate the talents guaranteed by the regression. But there are certainly talents throughout the Empire that Sir Tigris did not discover. If we can’t attract them, wouldn’t this project be completed in two or three years at most?”
Berggan checked the last page of the project.
“However, it is said that by increasing the site of the Imperial University, there will be accommodations for special classes participating in the project, as well as training grounds and workshops. I think it’s an investment that anyone who knows about regression can understand, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to convince other nobles or the students and instructors of the Imperial University.”
Bastian nodded.
“I know what Sir Bergang is worried about. But this is not a short-term project. It is a long-term project that will last at least 100 years.”
“Then, do you have any relics or skills that allow you to discover hidden talents?”
Bastian nodded.
“It is not in the Empire, but there are holy relics like that for the beasts.”
Teho said with a shaky expression on his face.
“Somehow, two days ago, you asked a lot of questions about Masarai’s bone needles, and that’s why.”
Teho pulled out Masarai’s bone needle and lifted it.
“The bone needles of this Masarai have the ability to see the potential talents and potentials of their opponents. I see that ability, and I engrave the right tattoo for that beast.”
“Is that an ability that works on humans as well?”
“The ability to confirm talent is visible whether you are a human, an elf or a dwarf. Take Sir Tigris as an example. Would you like to come closer?”
Tigris got up and turned to Teho.
Teho also got up and stood facing Tigris.
And as he closed his eyes and began to cast a spell, a red energy flowed from Masarai’s bone needles and began to surround Tigris.
Then, a total of 8 red patterns appeared on Tigris’ hands and chest.
When Teho saw the red pattern of Tigris, his eyes widened as if surprised.
“········It is the first time in my life that I have seen eight. The most I saw was the end of five.”
“Is it better to have more patterns?”
“It means that the direction of talent is open from various angles. Of course, it depends on the grade of the glyph, but if it is 8, it is the same as the number of the famous swordsman hose.”
Bergan said in a slightly excited voice.
“Could you please explain the talent of Sir Tigris?”
“There is no need for classification. All are the best. First of all, there is one swordsmanship, agility, sophistication, Auror operation, Auror-san, sensitivity, upbringing…
On Tigris’ chest, there was a single eye that contained the universe.
This was the first time Teho had ever seen it, so he couldn’t figure it out.
“I’ll have to check this out later. It could be a unique ability of Lord Tigris.”
“What is a unique ability?”
“It is an ability that only Lord Tigris has in the world. It’s the same ability as Nemesis’ Shadow Shift. When I go back to the jungle, I will try to find out if this snow has been there before.”
“Yes. All right.”
When Teho stopped the spell, the red glowing pattern on his body disappeared.
“Even if there is a way to confirm your talent, shouldn’t you need the bone needles of Elder Teho and Masarai?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it means that Elder Teho-sama should come to the Imperial Palace or the prospective students should head to the jungle… I don’t know what to do with this problem.”
Captain Teho thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“How many students may come into the jungle and there are some exclusive beasts who don’t like humans in and out of the jungle. So it would be right for me to go up to the ecliptic.”
“It must be very troublesome, are you okay?”
“I have to send the prisoners up to the zodiac every year, so it’s okay if we go together. Or there is a way to use teleport magic, so movement shouldn’t be a problem.”
When Teho readily agreed, the atmosphere in the conference room became very bright.
“Now, shall we decide on a name for the special education class? I wrote ‘Special Talent Training Program’ as a temporary work, but I can’t use it as it is.”
Maleus sighed and said.
“The special class is…”
Teho furrowed his eyebrows.
“It’s a little rustic.”
“Can’t I even comment? And what about the specials! So what do you think, Captain Teho?”
Teho thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“······ Elite class.”
“Good luck.”
“The Hero?”
“Good luck.”
“Miracle?”
“Good luck.”
Teho shook his hand.
“I don’t know anything else, but isn’t Miracle okay? In the sense of being heroes who make miracles…”
When Rain Rover, Bergang and even Tigris expressed their displeasure, Teho’s face turned red.
“Then what do other people think? I was just giving my opinion.”
“You say the same thing I just said.”
“greatness······!”
Rain Rover, who had been silently watching, opened his mouth.
“I have one thing in mind. How about Trinity?”
“Trinity?”
“It means that the three races of humans, beasts, and dwarves come together to nurture talents for the development of the continent.”
Rain Rover scratched his cheek and said.
“If it’s a little weird, anything else is fine.”
Emperor Todd and others shrugged as if they weren’t too bad.
Thus, the name of the special education program to be created on the grounds of the Imperial University was decided as ‘Trinity’.

When the meeting was over, Bastian called Tigris.
“Would you like to go for a walk? The imperial garden here is great for a stroll.”
Tigris was worried that Bastian would bring up the story of his granddaughter again, but it wasn’t like that.
Rather, the story would have been better.
“I don’t have enough money.”
Tigris tilted his head.
“Are you short on money?”
“A lot of money went into quelling the civil war in the Black Soil region. As for the stabilization issue of the Marquis of Baros. In the long run, Trinity is a structure where you can only make money, but money is always far away and not nearby.”
“Is it difficult to issue more government bonds?”
“Don’t you know that the issuance of government bonds doesn’t mean that money comes in right away? I need funds to use right away as I have to purchase the site within 8 months, or at least half a year, and quickly raise the necessary buildings. Especially the building wizard is a problem.”
Trinity’s launch date has been set for March next year.
So, in order to quickly raise the necessary buildings up to that point, it was essential to hire professional wizards for construction.
“You need those money-eating hippos.”
It is thanks to the construction wizards that high-rise buildings such as the Norbert Tower and huge defensive structures such as the Norbert Wall can be erected.
Even a simple digging can be done in an instant by a wizard with just one ‘dig’ magic, but it takes several days for workers to dig with a shovel one by one.
Of course, there is no way for sorcerers from noble nobles to drink dust like this, and because wizards from poor and low-level commoners who head to the bare ground do it, the supply of manpower is very small.
Naturally, according to the logic of capitalism, demand is high but supply is low, so the ransom of these professional wizards soars to the ceiling.
“As you know, most of the wizards specializing in architecture are wizards who have contracted to work in wizard families for the rest of their lives. Whether those wizards are hired or not, it is necessary to cooperate with the wizard family, not the individual wizard.”
Right now, even in the Lord Elim family, there are more than 50 magicians from commoners.
Of course, the wizards of the Lord Elim family do not borrow money through rings like the Marquis of Baros and eat them up to the bone.
That is why the wizards from commoners under the Lord Elim family are even more reluctant to do this harsh work.
Do you want to study the magic you want to do in the workshop? Or, if you ask me if I want to sell the land while drinking a lot of dust, they say that I want to study a hundred or a hundred people.
“I can borrow about 10 people from the Lord Elim family, and about 5 wizards borrowed from the Railway Administration. But that alone has no choice. We need at least 50 people.”
“How many circles of wizards do you need at least?”
“At least, they must be wizards of 3rd circle or higher who know how to use magic that can level concrete and harden quickly.”
“It would be really difficult if it was 3rd circle.”
It’s not just a matter of money.
manpower shortage.
Only by solving this can proper education proceed next year.
“So I need your strength.”
“What help do you need?”
“The Emperor intends to throw a party next Friday. Can you please attend? I won’t make any other requests. Just come to the party.”
The horse was begging him to borrow some party money and a wizard.
Tigris hated such a party, but had no choice but to do so.
Because people can’t always do what they want to do.
“Yes. All right.”
