The backgrounds of the members recruited as potential students of the academy are surprisingly varied.
They could be an active court clerk, a young member of the Order, a nobleman studying estate management under his father, an adventurer, or a city treasurer.
''If we did it on such a large scale, I'm sure information about the academy would be uncomfortable to find out.
The president of the First Order of Einsbräu, Gerard, who has been assigned the task of issuing the test, murmurs a question in his office in the castle.
The answer to this question was given by General Weinberger, who was seated next to him.
Weinberger was seated next to him. It's not only that, but also that His Majesty is determined to make it a success, and that he wants to encourage those who are interested to apply in the future to do so.
You'll inevitably miss out if you just look for the best, you know. I understand that you want to look for talent to sell yourself to.
Gaelard guessed what the Emperor was trying to do.
'But what about the examiner? I'm afraid we're in short supply on our own.
His question was answered by Weinberger with a complicated look on his face.
''He's going to ask Master Ortwine, Master Jurgen, and Master Zelgius to do it for him.
Wha... ...... summon former Yagami Teru?
No wonder Gaelard was astonished.
Those who had been the Eight Divine Brilliance were living in seclusion after a generational change.
The general shrugged his shoulders.
''Even though he's a former, apart from the current Yagami Akira, he's one of the strongest in the Empire. It's perfect for the current state of manpower shortage. In fact, we have no other choice.''
I'm glad you took the job.
That was Gerald's impression after hearing Weinberger's explanation.
Those who would become Yagami Teru were often selfish to varying degrees.
Even if they were serious and sincere during their tenure, it was unlikely that they would be so even after leaving office.
It is evident from the fact that only three of the eight members could be called up.
'For what it's worth, many of them must have a lot of love for their country.
But Weinberger did not dare to mention it.
He did not dare to mention it, for if three of the eight men had complied, it would have been enough of a success.
I don't think we should get our hopes up," said Weinberger.
'Are you more powerful than General Weinberger and his men?
Gaelard said what he had been wondering about.
He wasn't sure whether to ask or not, but he ended up saying it out loud.
'Yes. If I was stronger than you, I would have been Yagami Akira.''
A general also had to be strong to get the position, but Yagamihiki was higher than him.
Besides, some of the former Yagamihiki might still be stronger than the current Yagamihiki.
He thought so.
''Jurgen-sama certainly looks strong even now: ......
Goerald names one man.
Jurgen was the other xenophobe in the empire, the man who had been Bartolomeus' master.
'Master Orthovine, Master Zelgius as well. 'Master Zelgius is said to be acting as a first class adventurer.'
'What? Are you kidding me?
Hearing Weinberger's statement, Gaelard peeled his eyes and shouted loudly.
''If the Yagami Teru class were to do such a thing as an adventurer, their name would be spread in an instant.
Apparently they haven't found out yet because they're changing their names and hiding their powers.
Weinberger says in dismay.
'But it's still something you can understand, isn't it?
He chuckles again at Gaelard's question.
'It's the opposite. If Zelgius-sama hides his power, there are few people who can see through it. I'm sure Akira Yagami would be able to see through it, but I'm sure he'd pretend not to notice.''
I see. ......
When the general explains it to him, Gerard reminds him that the Eight Goddesses are also very good at hiding their powers.
When it came to Bartolomeus, what a ninth-level adventurer he was, he was also doing it as a ninth-level adventurer.
When he was satisfied, Weinberger grinned and said.
''Yes, I heard that the previous general, Uwe-sama, is also there, so be prepared for that.
Ew.
Gaelard peeled back his eyes and let out a screaming moan.
Then he hurriedly covered his mouth and apologized for his blunder.
''I beg your pardon,''
What? I know how you feel.
Weinberger looked melancholy and understood his men's reaction.
They stopped chattering and concentrated on their work.
