Chapter 21 The Kingdom of Quall Seems to Be Concerned About the Enchanter

~The Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Quall – King’s POV~

「So how was it?」 (King)

The only enchanter on this continent is currently staying in our country.

If we can have a good relationship with him, our country’s international status will rise even higher, but if he were to be offended and go to an enemy country, our country will face the danger of destruction.

This enchanter has a record of being exiled from Rosalta, the neighboring country, so we must be careful in evaluating not only his skills, but also his personality.

According to the reports from nobles and adventurers of the <General Public Faction>, he’s a gentle and sensible person who excels in swordsmanship….

「Yes. I checked his skills by appraisal and confirmed that he has Enchantment 23 and Appraisal 10. I also found that he has first-rate Swordsmanship and Body Strengthening skills, and also has Recovery Magic and Item Box.」 (Marquis Penam)

「「「「Ooooohh!!」」」」

「First-rate? What about the numbers?」

With such a vague report, we can’t know the details.

「About that…. When I met with Jink-sama, he must have found out that I have Appraisal. He looked displeased for a moment, so I don’t think it is a good thing to report the exact numbers without his permission….」 (Marquis Penam)

I see, then it can’t be helped.

It would be meaningless if he were to be offended and move to another country

「I see, then it’s better not to ask about the details. I’m sorry. …… So, what kind of person is Jink-dono?」 (King)

「I think he is a sensible person. Earlier, I said that he looked displeased, but it was only for a moment, and he took the exam politely after that. Also, I confirmed that he had no disturbing titles, so I think the rumor about him trying to poison the head of the family is a false accusation, as the person himself claims.」 (Marquis Penam)

Hmm….

Outside of wars, people will have titles attached to them when they commit serious crimes such as murder, attempted murder, and robbery.

If he doesn’t have such titles, it means that he has never committed any serious crime.

First of all, it’s a relief.

Even if he’s a heinous person, catching him would lead to an international problem as long as he’s the holder of a very rare skill, but… if he’s a sensible person, I hope we can have a good relationship for a long time!

By the way….

「Did Jink-dono pass the exam?」 (King)

Jink-dono was taking the exam for the magic department of the Quall Royal Academy, which is the most difficult among the many high schools in the Quall Kingdom….

Assuming there is no problem with the practical test, what about the written test?

He’s originally from Rosalta, so Quall’s history, geography, and law will be especially difficult for him.

I heard that there are many muscle brains among the Nonland family, so I can only hope he didn’t fail the written test….

「As a result of the hasty grading we did some time ago, it has been confirmed that he has achieved excellent grades, and he will be accepted in the first class of the magic department. Considering his score, it seems that Jink-sama will probably be the top student this year.」 (Marquis Penam)

What!?

「Is that true!?」 (Marquis Astate)

「Yes. Perhaps because he is from Rosalta, there were a few blanks in Quall’s history, geography, and law, but all subjects exceeded 90%, and the overall score was 96%, which is an extraordinary high score in history.」 (Marquis Penam)

He’s a child prodigy!

Letting go of someone like that… what is Rosalta thinking!?

「It’s a good thing!」 (Marquis Astate)

Umu.

It will certainly be a plus for our country to have such a talented person enrolled in the Quall Royal Academy.

「By the way, Marquis Penam. Is it possible to take Jink-sama into our country?」 (Viscount Sarvant)

「I didn’t ask him directly, so it is just my guess, but… it is probably difficult to take him in as a noble.」 (Marquis Penam)

「Enchanters are promoted to S rank adventurer, a status equivalent to a duke, to avoid being abused by the country. Since S rank adventurers have tax-free privileges, there’s no need for them to become nobles. Besides, he hates nobility, right?」 (King)

「Yes. When he was staying in my territory, I asked about it and he told me that he wanted to refrain as much as possible from socializing with the typical nobles and from power struggles. He also said that he wanted to lead a relaxed and enjoyable life since he was able to escape from Rosalta, and he wanted to travel around the world and try delicious food from various countries after gaining enough strength.」 (Marquis Julich)

「Actually, when I looked at Jink-sama’s aptitudes, I found that his talent in spearmanship, which is the symbol of the Nonland family, is very low. Also, he has the title of 『Nonland’s Outcast』…. I think that he probably had a lot of bad experiences in Rosalta.」 (Marquis Penam)

The nobles of the <Noble Faction> are making a sour face, but it can’t be helped.

In the first place, if Rosalta had treated him well, someone like him wouldn’t have escaped to our country.

「Since he decided to enroll in the <Quall Royal Academy>, which is the educational institution that represents our country, it can be said that he has a favorable opinion of our country. It’s regrettable that we can’t take him in as a noble, but it would be enough to have a good relationship with him as an adventurer and have him use our country as a base in the future.」 (King)

Even that alone would be a great help to our country.

「Everyone, don’t use your authority to make unreasonable requests to him!」 (King)

Our country will surely seize the chance that fell from the Kingdom of Rosalta!

「「「「「「「「 Yes!」」」」」」」」
