Chapter 6: Chapter 6

I want to make a mockery of myself for assuming that the 'test' they were referring to was similar to a school test. The 'test' turned out to be a bodily test. They measured things like our height, hearing, and vision. There are individuals allocated to each of us. However, the individuals performing the work wore odd attire. They all appear to be cosplaying or something since they are all dressed in white robes and are wearing masks that do not cover their mouths.

They scrutinized every part of our bodies in an apparent attempt to discover everything. I'm not sure how they record, but they are carrying a ball of some sort. The ball is about the size of a tennis ball and resembles a crystal ball.

I simply let them do as they like even if I have some suspicions about what they have in store for us. Why do they spend so much time assessing our bodies? Are they seeking a body of exceptionally high caliber or something? If that's the case, I'll undoubtedly lose.

I'm a lean person. Being tall makes me appear slimmer than I actually am. My appearance is also common.  I can even blend into the background.  If I were a character in a story, my look would undoubtedly be for a member of the crowd or a bystander.

I tried to observe the other teenagers who had applied for the job as I turned to look around. Surprisingly, they look quite excellent. I felt ugly right now. I never gave any thought to how I look. Since I didn't require it, I didn't give it any thought. Appearing innocent and approachable doesn't need an exceptional face. It was actually better this way so that those people won't need to admire my looks and stupidly get jealous for no reason. But now, I'll reflect more deeply. Typically, people hire individuals that appear attractive before taking their talents into account. They will assess your skill once they examine your appearance. As an example, if two persons are equally skilled, they will prefer the person who looks better. It is an unpleasant fact.

Even if I may feel unattractive right now, if I ever had the ability to change my appearance, I would in no way change anything. Actually, this look is highly adept at tricking people. My eyes seem warm and sweet even when I do nothing. When I smile, I give a cheerful feeling. My resting face looks very innocent. Even while I don't have an angelic appearance, I do have a look that says 'I'm a kind person'. My face is not interesting enough to draw attention, which is excellent.

The butler advised us not to leave a room while we waited in there after the 'test'. We did just that. It was not long before the butler returned and told us the results.

Only two people met their requirements, and the others weren't able to meet them. Knowing that I was one of those two people astonished me. Nothing about me or any portion of my body can be deemed to suit a standard, thus I assumed I had no chance of passing it. I appear like a thin, unremarkable twig.

The other person who passed the example is the person who has the most superb face and body. We are polar opposites, so I was a little perplexed. This is a bit strange.

I tried not to think deeper. I pass the ‘test’ and that’s all that matters for now.

We will have our apprentice class tomorrow, the butler informed us. After learning how to be a butler, we will be evaluated to see who performs the position most effectively. We both nodded in agreement. The butler let us return to our respective homes and prepare for tomorrow.

Although I really wanted to explain that I still had to go to school tomorrow, I chose to remain silent. The second guy also seemed to want to speak but decides to remain silent. It's better to work in such a rich and big place, I suppose.

I then decided that I will do self-study because I have no other choice. Getting a passable grade good enough. It's fortunate that the scholarship I applied for doesn't have strict criteria for grades. I  need to seek additional scholarships that don't also demand for high-grade upkeep since the scholarship I applied for only covers half of the tuition cost.

I arrived at the estate early in the morning with an organized thought process. I keep telling myself that it's nothing and won't hurt if I won't able take get the position. In fact, I do this to motivate myself so that I won't feel horrible about it afterwards. Avoiding having any expectations and accepting things as they are without complaining are the keys to not being overly disappointed. Negative things frequently occur; instead of obsessing over them, embrace them and use them as lessons to improve myself. It's similar to solving a mathematical equation in that it's OK to come up with the incorrect solution. However, not doing anything to discover the correct solution is not acceptable. If I don't make an effort to discover the correct answer, the incorrect answer will never change. I won't be capable of determining the correct path.

I will take all necessary measures to prevent suffering because I love myself. The only person who can truly love me is myself. I haven't experienced my family's or other people's love, but I do understand what it is. I will love myself if no one else does. I won't care about them if they don't care about me. I'm selfish, not selfless.

Although failure may be devastating, it is up to the individual whether they want to use it as a stick to beat themselves with or if they want to use it as a guide to help them avoid repeating their mistakes in the future. It's similar to playing a rhythm game in that you will eventually obtain a full perfect combo if you keep playing one song, but it doesn't guarantee that it will always be the case. In other words, I don't expect to be flawless, and I'm willing to accept failure.
