Chapter 144 - Reed Family

 "Oh, by the way, I haven't named Kyle yet, have I?"

 

 

"No, you haven't named me Barca yet."

 

 

"Well, let's see..."

 

 

"What are you thinking about, Ars-nii?"

 

 

"Well, both of Kyle's spells are useful for the future management of the territory, right? I'd like to get more people in Barca who can do paperwork."

 

 

"Yeah, we were just talking about that."

 

 

"But in order to be able to use your magic, the person has to be named by you. In the end, you should have a different family name instead of Barca."

 

 

　As I thought about how to use Kyle's magic to get civil servants, there was something that bothered me.

 

 

　This is because I don't want to unnecessarily overproduce people that have offensive magic.

 

 

　This is a very deep-rooted problem.

 

 

　At the moment, Kyle has not yet been named by me.

 

 

　If I give Kyle the last name of Barca, and he names a potential civil servant, what will happen?

 

 

Not only would the person(s) be able to use 「Automatic Calculation」 and 「Speed Reading」, but also the offensive magic that I can use.

 

 

　The problem isn't even them being able to make bricks and stuff, but that they would be able to use the trademark spells of the Fontana family, such as 「Ice Spear」.

 

 

　In the first place, naming is based on the premise that a person has a certain amount of merit and is trustworthy to be bestowed magic on those under a nobleman's command, and even today, Carlos of the Fontana family and his subordinate knights adhere to this unspoken understanding.

 

 

　It is a rule that was established during the long period of turmoil, and I know very well that if I break that rule, various negative determinants will fall on all sides.

 

 

　After all, if I were to unnecessarily increase the number of people who can use 「Ice Spear」, it might cause unwanted animosity.

 

 

　In other words, taking advantage of the fact that I have not currently named Kyle, I came up with the idea that Kyle could take another family name instead of Barca's family name.

 

 

　That way, I would succeed in increasing the number of only those that could use the non-lethal magic that Kyle could use.

 

 

　In fact, it would be a better way to increase the number of people who would be willing to be named.

 

 

"Oh, so I'm the only one who won't be a Barca? It seems like I'm an outcast..."

 

 

"Don't say that. No one is going to ostracize Kyle, so you don't need to worry."

 

 

"...... Well, if nii-san insists, then so be it."

 

 

"Please, Kyle. I'm sure that your power will be indispensable to Barca. In fact, the fact that I haven't named you until now is the perfect reason for me to take this chance. As you can see, I'm counting on you."

 

 

"All right. I'll give it a try if you insist."

 

 

"Thank you, Kyle. I'm grateful."

 

 

"But what about the name? Do you have a good family name for me?"

"Well......... Well, how about the Reed family? Kyle Reed, that's your name from now on."

 

 

"Kyle Reed...... Kyle Reed . Yeah, okay. I'll take the name Reed from now on, Ars-nii."

 

 

　Kyle was convinced, so I immediately started to arrange the naming.

 

 

　Carlos, the head of the Fontana family, and Bishop Paul, the bishop of the Fontana Territory, gave Kyle permission to call himself a member of the newly-created Reed family.

 

 

　Thus, a new magic-using house was born in the Barca Knights' Domain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

　※　※　※

 

 

"So, the people that Kyle named in the church, do they need to study after all?"

 

 

"It seems so. It seems that even if you have 「Speed Reading」 if you don't know letters, you can't read, and if you don't know numbers, you can't do math using 「Automatic Calculation」."

 

 

"Well, it's only natural when you think about it. But even so, it's enough to create a literate official who can be immediately effective. We only need them to learn the letters and simple arithmetics"

 

 

　Kyle was bestowed the name Reed and selected the best people from the school to also be named.

 

 

　At that time, one of the boys at the school said he really wanted to be a member of the Reed family. He had only been at the school for a short time, and so it was too early to name him.

 

 

　However, Kyle suggested that we give it a try.

 

 

　It turned out to be interesting.

 

 

　Kyle's magic requires a small amount of mana, so even a child can activate it.

 

 

　However, it seems that even if he used spells such as 「Speed Reading」 or 「Automatic Calculation」, the child could not understand the things he discovered.

 

 

　Well, of course someone who can’t read won’t be able to learn just by using the spell, the spell basically speeds up the process of reading and understanding the content but if there was no understanding to begin with then no amount of speed would solve the problem.

 

 

"Kyle's choice of people was quite surprising, they don’t seem to be chosen for their grades."

 

 

"Well, I didn't choose the smartest people in the class..."

 

 

"That so? what criteria did you use?"

 

 

"Someone who can sit at a desk all day and study."

 

 

　I see. He was indeed doing a great job of managing the estate despite me imposing it on him suddenly.

 

 

　The school that I built in Barcania was rather casual, teaching the bare minimum of how to read, write, and do math while having lunch there as well.

 

 

　Some of the students are so smart that they can do the math right away after listening to a few words.

 

 

　Even so, we can’t entrust the territory to people who make a racket or cause trouble, Kyle was right in choosing people through their attitudes. Apparently he was even keeping an eye on the attitude of the students when he went to the school to teach in the past.

 

 

In this way, the diligent people selected by Kyle began to work for Barca as officials.
