Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 78

That evening. I parted with  Iris and returned to the Fahrenheit residence in the imperial capital. Before going to bed, I contacted  with Lily and May and gave them a short report on the outcome of the exam.

“You passed without a hitch!　Congratulations!”

“Congratulations Hal-dono!’”

Both of them didn’t seem to be worried at all, but they still congratulated me on passing the exam, which made me very happy.

“I may not be able to come home for a while until I get used to the job here .”

“In that case, I’ll go to Bernstadt to practice magic in the meantime.”

“I’ll take care of things while you’re away. I’ll be waiting for you with a new tool.”

“”The …… is a very dangerous place.”

“Please do not harm the people around you.”

“We will do our best.”

Well, we have purchased a large piece of land for experiments in the outskirts of Heidburg in the name of the Arendal Workshop, so I don’t think we have to worry about that. …… But why is it that I don’t feel somewhat safe? I feel like I have to take the reins, because if I take my eyes off of them, they could create some terrible thing.

It is always the powerful politicians who turn scientists against each other and use them. If the interests of the person are bad, science will bring evil, but if the персом try to be using iit for good , science will bring good thing . Mei herself is a good girl who never does anything wrong, but I have to be very careful about that.

“I have to go to bed. Good night.”

“Good night.”

“Good night.”

Letters are the best way to get in touch with my father and the rest of the family. In this country, where the letter relay system is well established, the letter should reach them in a few days.

Now, before going to bed, let’s do the daily magic power increase training. Thanks to this training, which I have been doing ever since my self-awareness developed, I have become so strong that there is no one who can match my magical power. Even so, I still show no sign of reaching the limit of my growth.

I wonder how strong I can become with “no growth limit” and .Practice Makes Perfect. I am only 12 years old now, but I am very much looking forward to the future.

. The next morning, we, who had officially arrived at the Special Forces Division, were assembled at the facility for the Special Forces Division in the garrison.

“Good morning, Sergeants Hult and Steinfeldt.”

“Good morning, Jet.”

“Good morning, Commander.”

The rest of the group was still absent. As new sergeants at the corps, we were called up a little early.

I asked Jet to call me ” Sergeant Hurt,” and he did so. I didn’t care if it was within the Special Forces Division, but I didn’t want outsiders to know that I was Eberhard from the Fahrenheit family. Jet was willing to agree to my request, and he informed the other members of the order to make sure that they were doing the same.

In fact, Jet himself proudly states that the name “Jet Braveheart” is a pseudonym. It is said that the only people who know his real name are His Majesty the Emperor, the surrounding senior officials, and my father. Well, Jet is Jet, so it doesn’t matter what his real name is.

Of course, real names are also used by some people. , or rather, there are more of those. It is said that the real name is better for selling the name, and it gives the person a good reputation. Captain Siegfried’s real name is “Siegfried von Gillesberger”.

“So, from today onward, you two will work in two-person teams, forming a squad and going on a mission.”

“Me and Iris?””

“I don’t think the two newcomers will be able to do the job properly together. But, of course, in the beginning, a more experienced senior member of the order will be there to guide you, so don’t worry.”

“Yes?”

“No matter how many people we have, we don’t just suddenly throw them away. I’ve heard of such practices in the armies of various lords and ladies.”

He seems to be well prepared in that area. Spiritualism must be destroyed!

“Well, let’s start with an explanation of the work of the special division, shall we?”

Jet then began to speak.

The imperial army, in the broad sense of the word, refers to all the military organizations that exist in the Heiland empire and are mobilized in times of emergency, while in the narrow sense of the word, it refers to the military forces owned by the imperial family and the imperial government. The imperial military in the broad sense includes the military and police forces held by the lords of each region, which may exercise military and police power only within their own territory, and irregular military organizations such as adventurers’ guilds and mercenary guilds, but not the imperial military in the narrow sense.

The Imperial Army in the narrow sense of the word plays a central role in the defense of the country, and at the same time, it is the factor that makes the rule of the imperial family firm and solid. The Imperial Army roughly consists of 15 divisions, 12 brigades, and 3 advanced divisions, to which are added the armies of local lords to form the Imperial Army in the broad sense in the event of an emergency.

Incidentally, as to how the imperial government controls the local marquis armies, it seems that a person from the center is seconded to the marquis armies to monitor them, thus maintaining the overall consistency of the situation. It is quite an interesting system.

The Imperial Army has three senior divisions. These are the so-called “three major divisions,” and they are considered to be the key elements of the Imperial Army.

The Knights of the  royal Guard , as the name implies, are a group of Imperial Guard soldiers who protect the emperor’s person. They also entertain guests of honor from other countries, serve as guards for ceremonies, and inspect the provinces. It is an organization that oversees the entire Imperial Palace and protects the security and peace of the country, and is a little like a combination of the Imperial Guard and the FBI.

The Court Magicians are an association that works at the Imperial Court, working day and night to improve the level of magical technology in the country through research and training in the field of magic. It is like a combination of a research institute and an army. The members are all highly educated and capable of casting powerful magic, which is said to be a great source of deterrence against the hypothetical enemy.

And finally, the Special Mage Division. Compared to the two spectacular divisions above, the Special Magic Division is famous (in a bad way) as an organization that doesn’t have much to show for itself. It is not that they are not respected, but simply that what they do is not well known.

The closest image to the CIA, MI6, KGB, or Public Security Bureau is that of the PATF. If the Knights of the Imperial Guard and the Court Magic Division were divisions of “protection,” the Special Magic Division could be said to be a division of ” offensive. The Special Magic Division, which had not been very well known, was, for all intents and purposes, the most militant organization in the country.

Naturally, there was no way that such military secrets could be made public so easily. There was a reason why the public did not really know the details of their activities.

The people didn’t know much about their activities, but there was something behind it. That’s a lot of responsibility.

” I don’t know if I can handle it.”

I think there are many young people who regret joining the order without really understanding what it actually doing .

“Don’t worry. You are the elites who have passed through the strict examinations. You may be anxious at times, but I, as the leader of the group, assure you that you will be able to handle the job.”

“I’m anxious ……”

“I know what you mean.”

“guys?”

I’ll keep it to this point, because if I say any more, Jet might get angry.

“Well, he’ll be here soon.”

You’re the senior member of the group?

“”Yeas .””

What kind of person is he? Is he strong after all?

After waiting for a few minutes, I heard a knock on the door and the door opened.

”Good morning. You are all early.”

”Mm, good morning. How are you feeling ?”

I’m a little short on sleep, I guess. I was so nervous about the new guy coming in that I couldn’t get to sleep.

“Are you a childrens ?”

“‘Ha-ha-ha, this is embarrassing.”

The first man who came in was a good-looking old man that I had seen somewhere before.

“Ah, ……, the examiner.”

“Yes, we haven’t talked since yesterday. Sergeant Hal, Sergeant Steinfeldt.”

Yes, this was one of the examiners from yesterday. He was not the type to talk much, so I had assumed he was a retired former divisional officer.

“Let me introduce him to you. He is Brigadier General Erich Eulenberg. He has been active on the front lines since before I joined the division, and is a veteran among veterans. He couldn’t be a better choice to be your instructor.”

“‘Good morning, both of you. Did you sleep well last night?”

“‘Yes, I did. ”

” I Slept well.”

“Well, I’m glad to hear that!　When you are my age, you will  wake up frequently. I can”t really sleep well.”

What a mysterious person. I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t get a very  good impression of him. He is stronger than the average person, but his stamina and muscular strength are still deteriorating, judging from the way he walks and the way he stands. At the very least, if he were to compete with an adventurer who boasted of his physical strength, he would probably lose. As for the amount of magic power, he has a little higher, but still not as much as a court mage.

I could not imagine what kind of man he was, and I had a very strange sensation. ……….. But one thing was certain, he was definitely not a regular guy.

He was the one recommended by Jet. There was no way he was just an old guy.
