67. Finding a job is difficult here (4)
“… Does this make sense?”
Whose voice is it?
Even the examiner, who would normally have to point out that it was noisy, stared blankly at the building that appeared in the exam hall with his mouth wide open at the impact of the blow on the back of the head. A building that was created at the same time as the test started. It was an ordinary 3-pyeong house on the outside, but it took less than a minute to build the house.
“Less than 3 minutes have passed since the test started… You said it was over?”
A dejected voice that I don’t know who it is.
However, it was a voice that represented everyone’s feelings.
The person who built the building, which everyone stared at, was checking the strength of the building by knocking it with the back of his hand.
‘Skill? No matter how skilled you are, something like that is possible?’
The executives of the architecture guild, who were watching the scene, blankly stared at the building built in the corner of the test site.
‘This is ridiculous.’
A shocking experience in which the experience accumulated over decades of building in this city is completely denied.
Executives couldn’t open their mouths while looking at the building built as if to ridicule the numerous theories and experiences they had accumulated.
“…Huh.”
It’s not that there aren’t people who have useful skills that are good to use in architecture. Right now, most of the people occupying a place in the architecture guild were people who had honed those skills.
Water making skills, telekinesis skills, earth magic…
They were veterans who had long refined their own strengths. Those who have accumulated such efforts over and over again have risen to the ranks of guild executives. They were proud of their skills.
That’s why the executives who had been watching the test leisurely just a moment ago stood up all at once and shouted.
“It’s mine!”
Hearing the cry from behind, the examiner squeezed his forehead with his fingers. The students who are devastated and the executives who act indecently. I couldn’t help but have a headache.
“Hey Henry! Are you indebted to me? I will indemnify you, so give up!”
“Ha! Talented people like that can’t give up even if the number doubles!”
“What are you talking about! Aren’t you already a disciple! I, who don’t have a disciple yet, should take it!”
From noble mtl dot com.
“The reason you don’t have disciples is because of your damn personality! Talented people like that will leave if you treat them like sh*t! A gentle man like me needs to be pampered!”
“Don’t f*ck with me! I can clearly see your dark intentions, you bastard!”
“What? This dwarf bastard…”
‘What a mess.’
The examiner struggled to regain his composure. Regardless of whether the officers behind the scenes were fighting each other by the collar, or if the students were not alert to the sudden appearance of the building, the exam must continue. He shouted as hard as he could, polishing his voice professionally.
“Everything! Do you want to fall! Take a test! Let’s go ahead!”
As soon as the words were finished, the test-takers were startled and started solving the test tasks again. But what can a mere human do in front of an unimaginable monster? There were already dark clouds that could not be erased from the faces of the examinees.
Resentment, fear, awe, envy, anger.
Numerous emotions covered the exam hall. Some test takers trudged out without taking the test and even returned their test cards to the examiner. As an examiner, he had no choice but to break out in a cold sweat. He tried to catch the students trying to leave, but he had no choice but to give up.
How can they capture those who do not even have a glimmer of hope?
‘They were the ones who would fall anyway. You don’t have to care.’
The examiner tried to rationalize it and shouted again.
“Are you thinking of kneeling down just like this! Think of the time you’ve been trying! Don’t be intimidated by results that are just fast!”
‘It’s embarrassing.’
Test terrorist John, who was watching the situation, was only scratching his head in embarrassment.
‘I want to leave soon.’
Feeling ashamed for nothing, Yohan leaned against the already built house and closed his eyes.
‘I’ll have to pass the time before leaving.’
Whether I passed or not, I’m going to take the next exam. It was his only thought.
——————-
“Are you going to take our test? Hmm…”
A bald man with impressive rugged muscles said to me, his eyes widening.
“In our guild test, idiots don’t even take it. But the bastard wearing a woman dares to take our test?”
“You talk a lot. Please give me your exam pass.”
He said he wants to take three tests before lunch. Huh, even if I didn’t get caught by the construction guild.
What do old people like? It took a long time for me to get out, even the person holding my ankle and dragging me appeared.
I put the letter of recommendation on the reception desk, saying if you want to accept it, if you don’t want to accept it, don’t. The bald head nodded his shiny head, read the recommendation, and snorted.
“A kid. Let’s see how well you do. Hey! I’ll bring this kid to the test, so take a seat instead!”
“A child…”
“That man seems to really like the word kid.”
Yes, I really envy that innocence.
“I’ll finish it soon and come back.”
“Okay!”
“Stop messing around and follow me quickly!”
I followed the bald head into the exam hall.
10 Minutes this time.
After finishing the exam 30 minutes earlier than the construction guild, I grabbed his shoulder and removed the bald man’s hand pretending to be friendly.
“Hey! Friend! You are very good! You’re the first man to dig a gutter so quickly! Are you serious about learning this job?”
“I don’t think so.”
Do you think I learned these skills to work hard?
“Uh huh, don’t do that, let’s grab each other and learn! You can become a civil engineering god!”
“Send the notice of acceptance to the Ryeonggwan. Let’s go. Millia.”
“Yes!”
“Let me know if you change your mind! I’ll be waiting for you!”
A smacking sound came from behind. I feel bad about being targeted by a bald man. Just get your license and never come back.
We quickly got out of the civil engineering guild.
“Where do we go next?”
“The carpentry guild is the closest, so go there.”
“When it comes to carpentry, what do you make out of wood?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know how to do carpentry?”
“Milia, what is the boat made of?”
“Trees! Ah!”
Millia opened her eyes wide and looked up at me as if she had just realized it. Every action is like a puppy. I carelessly stroked Milia’s hair. Milia accepted my touch like her cuddly puppy.
“I am going to do that from now on.”
And I was caught by the guild leader of the carpentry guild.
“Hey young man! Where are you going! You have the talent to follow me! Become the best carpenter on the continent! What do you need?! Money? Honor? I’ll give you everything!”
“I have to go to the next exam… Let go of your ankle…”
I, who came from the country of Jang You-Yu-Seo, can’t kick the old man and this is true. I kindly removed the old man’s hand and left the carpentry guild. A series of troublesome tasks from the start, I could never have thought that I would be so tired. It won’t be like this in the next guild, right?
“John, what do we eat?”
“Choose what you want to eat.”
“Then let’s eat that!”
The place Milia pointed her finger at was a fairly luxurious restaurant. Apparently she was a shop selling pasta. Pasta is also available here. Well, the school cafeteria is a bizarre place with Korean food, but there’s nothing strange about it.
We went straight into the quiet atmosphere of the restaurant. The seat was a seat with a good view of the city through the window. I’m usually the first to go to a seat like this, but I’m lucky.
Fortunately, the food was quite satisfying as well as the view. With her plate half empty, I glanced at Milia, who was devouring her bright red pasta, smearing her sauce on her mouth. It’s because you’re a young child who has nothing to do. I picked up a tissue from her and held it out to Milia.
“Clean the area around your mouth before eating.”
“Wipe me!”
“Not even a child.”
“Wipe me~”
“Okay, stay still.”
I carefully wiped Milia’s mouth with her tissue. Milia smiled contentedly as I wiped her mouth, then began rolling her pasta noodles around again with a fork and putting them in her mouth.
You eat well.
They look good because they have good food.
Eating large amounts of food is a way to look prettier than eating little by little. I leisurely watched Milia eat, then turned her head to the gaze I felt around her.
…Why are those people here?
Men who clear their throats and smoke when they make eye contact with me. It was someone I had seen before at the Architecture Guild and Carpentry Guild.
Was it followed?
I’m sure he would have refused. All I need is a license. Perhaps because I looked away for too long, Milia also tilted her head and looked at the suspicious old people.
“Did those guys come to eat too?”
“…It seems they came after us.”
“Why?”
“Well…”
As I said earlier, it must be something about Scouting. But I’m just an aspiring escort knight. Having decided that, I had no intention of getting another job.
If I don’t become an escort knight, the world will end!
So we must get out of here before those old men catch us.
“Hey, waiter!”
“Did you call?”
“I don’t need change.”
I quietly took out a gold coin from my purse and handed it to the waiter. It was a bit excessive to be considered food, but it was a form of apology.
“Yes?”
“Milia!”
“Yes!”
Milia immediately got up from her seat and hugged me. After holding Milia, I immediately opened the window and jumped outside.
“I hope the warrior guild doesn’t make such a fuss…”
