245 – Interview
“Next person waiting.”
… Should I knock before entering?
While I was thinking these thoughts in my head, the door opened by itself through telekinesis. Becky walked inside, slowly lowering the hand she had already raised.
The exterior of this building did not change much, but the inside of the president’s office changed quite significantly.
Actually, if you think about it, it might be natural. The president has changed, and how the interior of the president’s office is decorated is up to the new president’s actions.
If the previous president’s office was calm, the current president’s office feels quite sophisticated. And for some reason, it feels like the average temperature is about 3 degrees lower than other places.
Rector Plan Judith.
Flan was sitting behind the proudly engraved name plate. Becky watched him secretly and quietly sat down on the chair across from him.
Flan said without even looking at me.
“Is it you, Becky? “I even applied.”
“Yes. No, yes.”
Becky answered right away.
There was no need to hesitate in answering. The girl knew that Flan would become the new president, and from then on he dreamed of becoming a dedicated secretary.
“Do you have any regrets about your choice?”
“I want to become the president’s dedicated secretary.”
So Becky was able to speak very confidently.
And then I waited for Plan’s answer to come back. But he didn’t come back, so I waited in shame for a while.
“….”
However, Becky felt a little nervous as Flan was slightly silent. But he couldn’t back down, so he desperately held on to his seat, wiggling his toes.
“Hmm.”
After a while, Flan reacted to that extent. Their eyes met in the air, but Becky was a little confused because Flan’s eyes were still expressionless.
‘But isn’t it okay for me?’
I glanced at the faces of the other waiters, but my skills were the greatest. Regardless of his friendliness and degree of justice, he has the best chance of being selected, even if you only look at the scale of pure magical ability.
Perhaps Flan was secretly surprised.
Becky kept her preparation process as a dedicated secretary secret. Maybe he didn’t even expect flan. If a high-quality person becomes a secretary, wouldn’t anyone welcome him?
Becky calmly waited for a positive answer.
But why? Is it because the term ‘anyone’ does not always include flan?
“You are not suited to be a secretary.”
Flan pushed Becky away proudly.
“….”
Becky blinked about three times.
He tried to understand the situation. Still, it was okay. He hasn’t been notified of his rejection yet. Could this be the pressure interview we only heard about?
But Plan continues.
“As expected, selecting you was not the right choice.”
Notice of elimination as proud as driving a wedge into a nail. No matter how much mind control Becky had, she couldn’t help but be greatly embarrassed this time.
“Why? No, why? “There is no problem magically.”
“There will be no problem magically.”
If there are no magical problems, what is the reason for eliminating them?
Becky unconsciously raised her hand and stroked his face. Even though he only heard one notification, he felt like he had aged for a moment.
“Then what…. “Is it a problem?”
“ Don’t be tied down to the academy. “You need adventure, and the great forest of the elves would be a great experience.”
There was no sense of malicious intent in Flan’s words.
So, in other words, Flann was simply worried about Becky’s future with a pure heart, without any bad intentions.
… Plan is worried about my future.
This is an extremely happy event. However, Becky couldn’t be happier at the moment. If he doesn’t become a secretary, the only option left for him is graduation.
“Then…” .”
“I am eliminated.”
It was a wedge.
I haven’t even laid out the materials I’ve prepared to become a secretary, and I’ve already been notified that I’ve been rejected.
“Let’s just leave now.”
After those words, the president’s office became very quiet. But Becky couldn’t take a step, and Flann looked at the newspaper as if his business was over.
How much time has passed? It was such a long time that it felt like an eternity to Becky.
Flan was the first to break the silence.
“Didn’t you hear the results?”
“I heard you clearly.”
Becky answered so quickly that there was no gap between the two conversations. The girl suddenly had a more determined look on her face.
“First of all, thank you for worrying about my future. “It also tells me what I should do next.”
Becky’s hands were clenched into fists.
“But the interview isn’t over yet.”
“That is up to me to decide.”
“No, I have something left to say.”
Becky continued speaking clearly.
He was always a shy Becky, but today he didn’t wear his cone hat askew and his clothes were neat. And the tremors of his body gradually subside.
“When I look back, it seems like others have always decided what I should do. Of course. “Firstly, I didn’t know what to do with myself, and secondly, I didn’t have the ability.”
“But?”
“So…. “I decide now how to live my life from now on.”
“It looks like they are going crazy.”
Flan’s attitude was firm.
Honestly, from that perspective, there was no reason to hire Becky as his secretary. The process of polishing the gemstone has now come to an end, and keeping it nearby is almost a luxury.
But Becky’s feelings were very different.
“I thought about it several times, but I want to become a secretary. “I want to do something that can stay by your side for a long time.”
“I’m curious why you came to this unreasonable decision.”
“Why? That’s right….”
Becky clenched his fists even tighter.
He took a deep breath and then shouted.
“… “Because I like you!”
◈
It has been a long time since Maiev visited the academy.
How long have you been wandering the world? Well, actually, if you look at the period alone, it is about 2 years, so it is not that long.
What was important to her was the collection of her diverse experiences.
Although she has lived a long life as a blood demon, Maiev still lacks the qualities of a human being. She wandered for a whopping two years for ‘humans’ rather than ‘imitating humans’.
And today we finally arrived at the academy.
‘I think I’m about 10 minutes late. Are you okay?’
While she was thinking such things, she reached the door of the chancellor’s office, and Maiev, who was about to knock on her door, stopped.
This is because the door opened by itself. It is not a movement opened by telekinesis. Someone inside had pulled the door open and was now coming out.
“… Becky?”
Maiev was the first to recognize her opponent’s identity, but unfortunately she could not hear the answer.
“….”
Becky glanced at Maiev and then averted her gaze.
It didn’t seem like he was avoiding eye contact because he was Maiev. What can I say, Becky’s face was so red as if it was about to explode at any moment.
Maiev said.
“Where does it hurt?”
“Um…. Ah, um….”
Looking at the condition, it seemed like it really hurt somewhere.
“hehehe.”
Becky suddenly twitched the corner of her mouth. Maiev looked like she might have been attacked by her mind.
“hehehehe….”
Becky continued to laugh and walked away from him.
“Why is it like that?”
What happened in the past two years that caused Becky’s mental state to become so strange? Maiev shook her head and stepped inside her.
“What is it?”
A voice I haven’t heard in a long time.
The voice I wanted to hear so much.
Maiev had prepared for two years, but Flan was as natural as if we had met her in an hour.
“Is there a lot to talk about?”
“Not that many.”
“Then stand and do it.”
“Good.”
Maiev snapped her fingers as she stood. Then the backpack behind her opens and documents start popping out one by one.
“She wandered around the human world for two years, investigating this and that. Well, there are a lot of things I experienced firsthand.”
“The selection of secretaries has already been completed.”
“Please listen until the end. “It’s not a secretary interview.”
Maiev continued calmly. Flann looked at her indifferent eyes as if he wanted to listen first.
“I just want to continue doing magic in the future. “I’m asking for a little help with that.”
“It’s not difficult if you have support.”
“Yes. “So.”
Maiev slid something of hers onto Flan’s desk.
“If I want to continue living as a human, I need this.”
What Maiev posted on Flan’s desk.
It was none other than a marriage registration.
Flan’s eyebrows twitched once. She turned to Maiev and she was about to say something, but Maiev spoke a beat faster than him.
“You already said it. He said he would help. Clearly.”
For a second there I thought Becky wasn’t accepted but it seems she is.
