Adventurer prep school

“Adventurer prep school entrance ceremony will begin now.”

One year after the ridiculous demand of the village headman Klaus who also the mistress father of my father who want me to become the next family head of Baumeister house.

Finally turn twelve years old, I’ve left my parents’ family to enroll into adventurer prep school that exists in Breitburg.
If I thought about this one year, I end up devoting myself to dodged the solicitation from Klaus that happen one after another.

I had the feeling that if anything happen, I can convince father along with the other supporters when pressed for decision, I am unhappy that why I must inherit a territory in such a remote place.

And I cannot managed a territory since I am just an employees of a second-rate trading company in my previous life.
The duty of a n.o.ble or act in a fas.h.i.+on that conforms to n.o.bility which I don’t have, it will be great if in that territory I can work to earn a living with some freedom, and can privately make full use of my magic for adventuring.

I am dreaming to become adventurer in the future just for convenience’ sake, but that does not mean I don’t want to do a freelance careers by using magic as a living.
Moves easily to the savage land and the sea with teleport, I can make a fortune with magic.

The results of what I have done in this five years, I can keep on living as a Neet for hundreds years if I want to.

That’s right, I am already free.
I had considered to never return again to my parent’s house.

Father, mother and also brother seems to agree with my idea.
Despite being a poor the territory, when I contribute for territory people with magic, it would lead to new family feud.
I have been asked but how stupid of my father for not noticed it.
That said, there is the possibility that it can harm me later if I report it unwisely.

That’s why I didn’t talk about Klaus’s movement at all.
Had Klaus let out such scheme to father so easily, I would not be in this world long ago.

Father and brother had thought vaguely that there something odd but they didn’t want to talk about it with me either.
Maybe it just my imagination that they didn’t notice anything.

Now then, let’s end this troublesome talk about my house, now is the entrance ceremony of the adventurer prep school.
The elderly man who gives a long speech on the platform is supposedly the Guild Master, apparently a school is the same things anywhere.

This is a prep school to brought up adventurers so there is no falling student.
Everyone sitting in a chair listening to the story

“Every one of you able to partic.i.p.ate in monster area when become 15 years old but preferably the talented one…”

The purpose of this prep school is by royal family’s law, one must be at least 15 years old to enter adventurer guild to make up for the disadvantage.
In other words, it intended to avoid inefficiently sends off a 15 years old amateur as adventurer all of sudden into monster area.

Since an amateur will certainly die when suddenly sent to such place, any person must do basic training under guild management at the very least for three months.
One of ten people still dead or injured in their first mission, which normal in adventurer’s world.

It is a heavy story but it was a popular job that can make a fortune which can take human live in many circ.u.mstance.

And the entire continent is in the progress of growing in development and population.
Naturally, the demand for material that can be collected in monster area is in raising, a newcomer adventurer who can collected it is always welcomed.

So adventurer prep school is to train people from age 12 until age 15, there also a school for those above 15 age to train their basic at worst for one year.

For the entrance exam, everybody basically can enter the school.
When tested, the high achievers will be given preferential treatment such as school expenses, and to be under contract with adventurer guild branch in Breitburg after graduation.

This is the major reason.

Even adventurer guild also desperately securing an excellent adventurer.

I leave house one month before entrance ceremony and immediately take the entrance exam.
The test consists of basic geography, history, biology, monsterology and customs for each country, a must basic knowledge for adventurers.

Afterwards, a mock match with instructor using weapon they good at and there also magic trial for mage.

To be honest, I just do the basic training of sword and bow, but nonetheless it was a training that come from our n.o.ble ancestry.
I took the test and received a fairly high rating.

I am better in bow but…

About magic, I decide to take it easy as I see fit.
My magic capacity is at the highest point because of master who is the mage retainer of Brihedar margrave.

Luckily, no mage with sharp perception like master here.
They were engrossed in speaks very highly of me when I fired off a fireball as big as dodgeball burning the target that they didn’t realize I am suppressing my magic.
It can become the proof to what master said with an excellent mage is sensitive to the existence of other excellent mages.

An excellent mage is a really valuable existence.
So they would not appear in exam hall even if one’s to pa.s.s the prep school using magic.

Beside, despite excellent mage is sensitive to the existence of other excellent mage, not that they can actually perceive magic power.
It’s like intuition based ability.
Magical power from person’s body would not spring up like hot spring no matter how big one’s magic capacity.
It is usually saved in magic bag in the body of another dimension, the magic circuit just circle around afterwards.

Even when large-scale magic were to be invoked, the magical power that already being used will not remain as it materialize into magic.

This is the reason why mage can’t easily perceive others magic capacities.
With some exception, commoner at best only have a small amount of magic power, all they can do is put out a spark so the difference is clear.

“Intermediate cla.s.s mage is valuable. You pa.s.s the test as scholars.h.i.+p student.”

It appears that if one’s can use magic up to intermediate level, one’s would be freed from school expenses without concern the previous writing test and skill in weapon.
That enough to show how valuable the existence of mage.

“It must be nice to be able to use magic…”

“I can use magic but I can’t get the scholars.h.i.+p since it just beginner’s cla.s.s.”

While such an envious voice rises from other examinees, I pa.s.s the scholars.h.i.+p student test without problem, enrolled into adventurer prep school was achieved.

“I am Wendelin von Benno Baumeister. As shown in my name, I am the eighth son of the nearby Baumeister house but I can’t inherit the territory so I enrolled into the school aim as adventurer. It’s nice to meet you all.”

Although the cla.s.sification will be announced after the entrance ceremony, apparently, all the scholars.h.i.+p student were incorporated into the same cla.s.s.
The ages were approximately the same age with me with the higher will be about 18 years old?

Person with excellent sword skills, good at bow, good at spear, or person who can use magic in spite of being beginner’s cla.s.s.
And finally, I ended the self-introduction with I could use intermediate magic.
The curriculum table being pa.s.sed by homeroom teacher’s guild staff, with lessons in cla.s.sroom is 30%, practical training about 70%.
Moreover, since learnt only the technique to become adventurer, the lesson throughout the morning is a must.
In addition, it easier with two days off during the week.

“All of you were not allowed to go into monster area until 15 years old. Those over 15 years old also not allowed for one year. With the cla.s.ses being few, it is also for you guys to earn money from part-time job.”

Indeed, even if school expense were exempt for scholars.h.i.+p student, not that everyone will attend from home to school, rather, there are many people who left their hometown into Breitburg.

Naturally, they must earn their own money in renting.

“Uhe. Come to think of it, we had to. What kind of part-time job I should do? By the way, does Baumeister got any allowance from parent’s family?”

The boy of the same age I befriended next to my seat at the entrance ceremony asked me about my allowance.
It is uncommon but when parent’s family is a wealthy merchant or a great n.o.ble, there some that given allowance as apology for not being able to take the inheritance.

“As the eighth son of knight peerage family, I’ve decided not to dream of it for years.”

“You’re right…I am also in the same position but…”

My heights have grown to at last 160cm after turn 12 years old this year, he is about 10cm taller and with a sharp look with short brown’s hair in crew cut style, a son of a small lord in the west just like me, he introduced himself as Elvin von Arnim.

His parents’ family is a knight peerage family that has a village about five hundred population, their financial condition is much the same.
Elvin is the fifth son in that house.

Since it is a matter of course he can’t take over the house, he told me his plan of using his talent in sword enough to pa.s.s the scholars.h.i.+p exam to live as adventurer.

“I got allowance from my parents’ family once, I save up money until now by selling the catch obtained by hunting.”

I honestly can live without doing that but I can’t tell that to others.

“I also got it but it just small sum. All my results in hunting were taken by parents. I ought to find a part-time job soon.”

“I can store the material for selling in magic bag.”

“That must be nice being a mage. Hey, do you want to look for a part-time job with me?”

The part-time job consist of being a babysitter, salesclerk of the shop or cleaning the city.
Other than the prohibited monster area which the job of adventurer guild to carry out, the low-level job issued by guild is the important one.

There was a risk of being attack by wild beast but it was being hunted for its meat and fur as the town supply.
This is recommended by adventurer guild to help improve combat techniques.

“Baumeister is…”

“My name is Wendelin, just call me Vel. My family also call me that.”

“I see, call me El then. The younger child name always get called so short. Right, Vel.”

“You’re right. Take care of me El.”

“Same here Vel.”

I enrolled to adventurer prep school without any problem, and get friend in the same age for the first time.
