The Trasden Estate.

The eyes of the people here were filled with passion.

It was because of the official notice posted throughout the territory a while ago.

The content was simple.

There was talk of moving the training article exam, originally scheduled to be held in July, forward by about a month.

If the content of the official document had ended here, I wouldn’t have really paid much attention to it.

but.

There was one more thing added to this official document.

The content was that even ordinary people would be selected as trainee knight candidates after going through a simple examination process.

The test content was so simple.

The content was that you had to use a wooden sword to beat up a scarecrow.

At first, I thought it was a no-no.

This was because sparring was an essential part of the process of selecting the original training knights.

I knew that I had to be in the top ranks of the Flying and Crawling People to become a formal apprentice knight!

Are you sure the test is this easy?

Isn’t this really a test process that anyone can do?

The people of Yeongji, who were half in doubt while reading the official document, read the contents written below.

There was detailed information about the ‘candidate’ written there.

After reading it, I found out that it wasn’t an official training article.

But there was one phrase that was so captivating.

The text read, “After a certain period of training at the postscript, those with potential will be selected as official trainee knights.”

It was also written that not only the training knights, but also some people would be elected as the Hundred and Ten Commanders.

“If it’s a tens and a hundred…….”

The Marquis of Celtarion.

Even if they were ignorant, they at least knew that the soldiers were treated very well. At least, if they joined the Marquis’s army, they would never go hungry.

That was precisely why the proportion of soldiers among the occupations of the people of Yeongji was high.

Of course, I knew very well how the tens and hundreds were treated.

At least it was a much more visionary profession than that of a common farmer. In front of the official document posted like that, there were knights waiting one by one.

The people of Yeongji, who were looking over the official documents and articles, cautiously asked questions.

“Um… Sir. Is… what’s written here true?”

“It’s true.”

“……Is it really okay to just hit a scarecrow with a wooden sword?”

“……okay.”

The people of Yeongji began to murmur at the knight’s answer.

“……Is this……really true?”

“Hey! This is what the knight answered, so of course it’s true!”

“If it’s just a scarecrow, can’t we do it too?”

“Even if I’m not a trainee knight… if I can just become a Ten-man General….”

The most visible age and skill level.

It was a test without even such restrictions.

A strange heat rose between the pupils of the people of Yeongji.

The long-awaited test day arrived.

In front of the Marquis’ gate, there were already a lot of people milling about.

* ? ?* ? ?*

5th training ground.

There were fifty dummy dolls lined up in a row, meant to rotate the participants quickly, with fifty of them taking the test at a time.

A platform on top of the smokescreen.

There, I and three old knights were sitting.

“…….”

Kraft, Malone, Jacob.

The three knights’ gazes were focused on me.

I think it’s the look in my eyes that says I don’t know why I’m here.

As expected.

Of the three, Malone looked at me and said.

“I didn’t know that the Fourth Prince would also participate in the examination process…….”

“Wouldn’t it be better if there were more judges? Besides, I think I have a good eye for talent. Please trust me. This is something that my older brother has also given me permission to do.”

At my confident words, the three old knights nodded their heads hesitantly.

Erciel and Seron.

Although they selected two outstanding talents, they were only two people.

So they probably decided that they couldn’t keep up with their standards.

Moreover, it was a test to select knights, not wizards.

I could understand why he was looking at me so dazzled.

Well, what’s important is not the gaze but the result.

“Oh, right. Have you three decided how to narrow down the number of people?”

“I’ve roughly decided. If fifty people come in to take the test, I’ll do a quick evaluation and then collect the results. If any of the three of us pass, I’ll pass.”

As it was a sieve stage, it seemed like the idea was to select people as simply as possible.

‘It’s roughly the same as an audition.’

The only difference was whether or not it received majority consent.

“I see. Then can I go with the three of you?”

To put it roughly, he was asking me to give him the right to vote, along with the three others.

“Umm…….”

“I fully understand that you three are feeling uneasy. I am a magician, and my vision has not been properly tested yet. Still, I hope you will trust me and give me a chance just once.”

“If there is a chance…?”

“It’s simple. If there is someone who was not chosen by the three people in the evaluation process but was chosen by me, wouldn’t it be okay to evaluate them during the training process?”

“Are you saying that you will take responsibility for the consequences if they are not selected as a Ten-man, Hundred-man, or Trainee Knight?”

“Yes. If that happens, I will never participate in something so suddenly again. Anything can only be recognized if the results are good.”

“If you insist so confidently… I understand. I will do so.”

“thank you.”

Deep mind.

With this level of talent, even the best talents that the old knights had missed could be put into the net.

For the sake of the family, I was planning to get as many moonfish as possible out of this exam.

It’s not for nothing that I’ve gotten caught up in these old knights’ company.

Let’s wait a moment, the people of Yeongji began to rush towards the 5th training ground.

‘… … No, how many people are there in total?’

The number I saw now seemed to be seven thousand. But that wasn’t the end.

The procession continued on.

The old knights who saw that sight stuck out their tongues.

“……I don’t know if I can finish it today.”

“If this is the case even in the Trasden Estate…… if people from all over the Empire flock here……”

“Ugh…….”

I smiled brightly when I saw the three knights.

“With so many people flocking in, there must be a lot of raw materials.”

The knights and soldiers who had been guiding the people began to line them up.

The number of Yeongjimin who had settled in the training ground was approaching ten thousand.

As the men lined up on the training ground, a knight approached the stage.

“Chung! Among the test participants, I brought some!”

“If there are some… are you saying there are more?”

“……Yes. There are still about ten thousand people left. As more participants continue to join…… I think it will probably increase a bit more.”

“…….”

At those words, the three knights opened their eyes wide.

The people who are here now aren’t enough, and another huge wave is expected to come!

The enthusiasm for participation was much hotter than expected.

Kraft sighed at those words and replied.

“……This won’t work. Let’s disperse the remaining participants for now, and tell them to come back tomorrow. It’s impossible to check all 20,000 people today.”

Kraft was right.

Although the judges are made up of top-notch journalists, they are only human and cannot judge indefinitely.

It would probably take at least ten hours to review 10,000 people.

“ancient!”

Then Kraft looked at me.

“The Four Princes.”

“yes.”

“I’m planning on hosting the event, but would you like to do it yourself, Prince Four?”

“no.”

There was no need to attract attention.

Besides, since I was a stone that suddenly got in the way, the best thing to do was just sit there and let them pick people.

“Okay, I understand.”

Then, Craft, who had climbed up onto the stage, shouted powerfully.

“Today’s test is simple! You will have been given a number along with your group! There will be a total of fifty people being tested at once! When we call, prepare in advance and come out quickly! Since there are so many people, if you are late, you will be eliminated immediately! Got it?”

“yes!”

wow.

The sight of the ten thousand Yeongjimin answering with vigor was quite spectacular.

Perhaps because of the aura in his voice, Craft’s voice resonated loudly throughout the training ground. It was loud enough for all ten thousand people to hear.

“The judging process will be very fast! Come out, take up your wooden sword, and strike the dummy! Then, the successful and unsuccessful candidates will be separated immediately! Since the judgment is made solely based on future potential, there should be absolutely no objection to the results of the judging!”

“ancient!”

The people of Yeongji responded vigorously to the old knight’s words.

The soldiers and knights are wide awake, so unless they are crazy, there will be no one who disagrees with the results.

“Then, Group 1, enter immediately! Soldiers, quickly prepare the next group!”

So, fifty people belonging to Group 1 stood in front of the scarecrow.

After picking up the wooden sword in front of you.

Bam!

He started beating the scarecrow.

Oh my.

Most of them are just a mess.

That assessment was equally effective in activating the mind.

Still, there were some people worth saving.

Craft, who had been quietly watching the people of Yeongji, looked at me and the two knights.

“None.”

“None.”

“Me too.”

I have it.

“Number 8. Number 45. I want to pass these two.”

“…….”

These two people had a talent for waiting patiently.

Although they appear to be ordinary farmers at the moment, they are people who can stand out as they progress through training.

‘At least a hundred thousand people.’

If you do well there, you might be elected as a trainee knight.

The three knights who had been tilting their heads at my words eventually let the two people pass.

“Group 2, enter!”

“Numbers 3, 8, and 10 passed! The rest are all failures!”

“Group 3!”

“5 passed! The rest all failed!”

“Group 4!”

“Numbers 7 and 34 passed! The rest are failures!”

With the turnover rate at its peak, the test was starting to progress rapidly.

?

* ? ?* ? ?*

As soon as the results of the previous group came out, the next group that had been waiting behind them entered and the test continued.

It took about 4 minutes to evaluate one group.

Even though there were fifty of them, I just looked at them once and if I thought they weren’t good enough, I just filtered them out.

The time spent evaluating one group was quite short.

The passing rate was roughly thirty to one.

If it weren’t for my help, your passing rate would have dropped to something like fifty to one.

Is this it?

There really are a lot of people who have been rescued from hell.

It had already been ten hours since the judging took place.

I relieved my fatigue with mental cleansing and also had a meal here. I had no choice but to see all 10,000 people in one day.

After barely finishing the screening of 10,000 people.

“……Since it’s late, I think it would be best to stop here for today. What about the Four Princes?”

“Let’s do that.”

The three old knights and I finished the examination with tired expressions. Even though it was definitely a process of just looking at it, it was enough to make me dizzy after doing it ten thousand times.

Maybe because I’ve been spinning my wheels all day, my mana is almost gone.

The reward for your hard work was well worth it.

Originally, the number of successful applicants would not have exceeded three hundred.

But thanks to my judging, there were an additional hundred successful candidates.

No matter how bad they were, they were all people who could receive the title of captain.

Among the people I selected, there were two who could even surpass the intermediate level of knights. This was a pretty good result.

This is because knights of intermediate level and above were definitely considered valuable.

‘Out of a hundred people, about thirty might be selected as trainee knights.’

The total number of successful applicants was 350.

The talents of the people I chose were generally similar.

Perhaps because he has a talent for chronic plastic surgery, most of the time what he shows right now is a poor appearance.

So I pulled them out one by one without missing a single one.

Every time, the old knights’ faces would frown slightly, but they did not openly oppose.

This may be because he has already made a bold statement that he will take responsibility for the results.

‘But there is still no one with the level of talent that Seron is talking about.’

Since such talent is not easily found, I thought I would have to wait a little longer.

There were still ten thousand more judges left, so the possibility was high.

The first day of the examination ended with approximately 300 successful candidates.
