336 – Interview (1)

The weekend passed and the weekdays came again. Second-year classes are mainly comprised of in-depth courses and field experience learning from first-year classes.

Even if the class itself doesn’t change much, it will be easier if the level of difficulty increases. First of all, the first week is orientation.

As for orientation, there is nothing that stands out. Most of the time it’s just about what classes will be held in the future.

Above all, a sparring event will be held between freshmen next week. It means that distinguished guests gather from all over the world.

“Professor. What should our second year students do then?”

“We have nothing to do. Let’s go eat some popcorn.”

Therefore, there are no classes. You may be wondering what kind of raw food this is, but it is raw food.

But that doesn’t mean second graders are having fun. I tend to do what I need to do during the week when freshmen sparring takes place.

For example, free sparring, or reviewing knowledge learned in first grade, etc.

It gets really busy after the freshman sparring, so many people see it as their last freedom.

“You can watch the sparring if you want. However, it is difficult for teaching assistant candidates to watch, so please be aware of that.”

“Are we going to spar then?”

“Accurate.”

Unfortunately, I am a teaching assistant candidate, so it is difficult for me to watch Dalian in person. I wanted to see Raina fight, but it’s a shame.

I know that in Soul World, Reina had by far the most overwhelming force. She is skilled at wielding a large battle ax freely.

With her skills, she gets all the attention, but unfortunately, that attention turns into jealousy, and she goes through a difficult time.

“A total of 9 teaching assistants are assigned, 3 to each class. However, one person has already been selected.”

“You said you were elected first?”

“Yes. He is a priest of the Gaia Church. Because priests are very rare.”

“··· ···”

There is a 100% chance that it is Erica. Erica was also elected as an assistant at Soul World.

The Gaia Church is a church that has a large and small influence around the world. Even if you are a noble, you cannot touch it hastily.

Especially in the East, ‘Feng Shui’, ‘Baesan Imsu’, etc. Gaia’s prestige is high because there are many studies that are deeply related to the land.

It is not for nothing that she is revered as the Earth Mother. The East is inherently interested in things that don’t seem like physiognomy or famous places.

“When I heard the news, there were about 5 to 6 candidates from different classes. The teaching assistant candidates will start next week. Twice per person.”

“Why don’t we just pick one person first? I think we’ll just end up bleeding for no reason.”

Antonio said with a grin. It was a somewhat sarcastic tone, but it was also true.

If I were to spar, my opponent would suffer considerable damage. The idea is to prevent that in advance.

While there is a perception that Kara or Luna is ‘worth a try’ even if she is a top-ranked powerhouse, I am not.

It’s a disaster in itself that makes you say, ‘What the fuck?’ It’s a bit hard to say with my own mouth, but it’s actually true.

“······I feel like I want to do that.”

Marlboro glanced at me and agreed with Antonio’s sarcastic remarks. A bitter smile is a bonus.

However, I was selected as a candidate, overcoming the impossible odds of rock, paper, scissors. This means that we have no choice but to follow the principles.

“I don’t know anything else, but the election will be fair. Oh, of course, just because it passes the sparring process doesn’t mean it will pass unconditionally.”

“What’s in the middle?”

“While we know you well, the first-year professors do not know you. Therefore, a brief interview will be conducted.”

It’s an interview. Now that I think about it, I think I’ve heard it briefly in Soul World as well.

Since Dalian was the center, I only skipped over it. Moreover, it didn’t have much meaning since it only showed the face without any options.

‘The interview must be more difficult than sparring.’

In an interview, you not only need to speak well, but it is also important to leave a deep impression. In that sense, I looked at Luna.

Luna was listening to Marlboro’s explanation with her characteristic dumb expression. What kind of nonsense will this person say in the interview?

Surprisingly, a normal interview may proceed, but considering the chaos, it seems unlikely.

“Even though it’s an interview, it’s more of a personality test, so you don’t have to worry. Please note that if you have a record of being disciplined, you may get points deducted.”

“Oh.”

“Eh.”

As soon as the word discipline came out, Kara and I reacted. The only people who were disciplined here were Kara and I.

In particular, Kara received an overwhelming number of disciplinary actions, and I also received disciplinary action for several major incidents.

Marlboro seemed to have predicted our reaction, and continued speaking in his characteristic solemn voice.

“So we must speak well. What we need is force, not violence.”

“··· ···”

“The interview will be conducted before sparring. “I will make time during free training on Wednesday.”

“Umm…”

Kara sighed. It looks like the interview content was more intense than expected and gave him a headache.

It’s not just her that has a headache. I also have trouble with disciplinary action because it is something I never thought about.

Eventually, class ended and Marlboro went out, and Kara groaned.

“No. I didn’t even think about seeing disciplinary action…”

“Why don’t you hand it over to me now?”

Grace gently teased Kara, who was depressed. She is like fanning a burning house.

To this, she responded with an undertone that Kara had a frown on her and had no idea.

“Who do you want? Just wait and see. I will tell you how good I am.”

“Yes. Yes. Try hard.”

“Um…”

Unlike Grace, who was sarcastic, Luna stared at Kara blankly. She looks like she’s thinking about something.

Did you read the thoughts in that expression? Kara looked at Luna and raised one of her eyes.

“What are you thinking about? Say it right.”

“No. Just…”

“I’m not good?”

Luna shook her head. That means no.

Then what is it? When Kara made her questioning expression, Luna opened her mouth.

“Kara, you’re kind, right?”

“Right? What do you know…”

“Considering that he silently did 100 hours of community service… Yes, he’s nice. It’s just that his hands are sore.”

“··· ···”

I was very confused as to whether it was a high-level spin or Luna’s unique expression of confusion.

Of course, from Kara’s perspective, it can’t help but sound like a high level of criticism. 100 hours of community service has a great impact in many ways.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t hit it. The moment you hit someone, you become a narrow-minded person.

It’s literally Gabulgi itself. Kara pursed her lips and forced a smile.

“Really? How would you know that my hands are spicy?”

“I know because I tried it.”

“Don’t you want to know more? It would be spicier.”

“Uh…No? I will decline, at least for the sake of her sister’s disciplinary record.”

When Kara smiled and clenched her fist, Luna politely declined. In times like this, I’m really quick to notice.

In any case, it remains the case that you need to think about what questions will be asked in an interview.

It was a part that was skipped in Soul World, so it would be quite difficult.

‘I should at least practice in advance.’

There is a method that is often used when seeking employment on Earth. I flew here before I even got a job, but I know anyway.

Anticipating questions by name. It’s literally anticipating questions and answering them accordingly.

It may sound easy at first glance, but in reality, most people are unable to answer questions during an interview.

“Kara. Kara.”

“Huh?”

“How will Kara answer? During the interview.”

“Well, I guess I need to know the question first.”

It seems like Kara was thinking the same thing at the same time. Especially for me and Kara, this question is sure to come up.

You were disciplined due to a violent incident. Can you explain why or under the circumstances under which you were disciplined? Like this.

I have a rough idea, but I don’t know about Kara. In the first place, he did not hope to become a teaching assistant at Soul World.

“What if this question comes? I think they’ll ask why I was disciplined.”

“If that’s the case… It should be packaged appropriately. It’s like there was friction between us.”

“Wouldn’t that make it worse? It would be better to emphasize that we have a clean record from that day onwards.”

Grace was there to help. It’s a pretty good method.

Kara wasn’t mentally mature back then, but she isn’t anymore.

When she was in first grade, she had no record of being disciplined, and she persevered even in the last stalking incident.

If she were the old Kara, her stalker she would have beaten her to death for not putting a porridge in her face her her her. But she only got fed up and persevered until the end.

“I wasn’t mentally mature in the past, but is it okay to say that I am not now?”

“That’s much better.” I’m not sure how the professors will view it.”

“Then what about Sivar? “What will you say?”

Luna asked me. Eyes full of curiosity.

At the same time, other people looked at me with similar expressions. Everyone has a curious face.

Although the number of times is less than that of Kara, most of them have a great impact and are the reason for disciplinary action.

It’s especially unfortunate that Gunlord, who cut off her classmate’s tongue her, covered it up properly, an issue that would have led to his expulsion of hers.

“Hmm… I have something in mind.”

“What is it?”

“I have never hit anyone.”

“······?”

Everyone tilted their heads at the nonsense that wasn’t nonsense. But my words are not over.

“But not animals. Animals don’t listen to you unless you hit them.”

“··· ···”

“The reason I used violence was because they were animals, not people. So I hit them. Like this?”

“You’re talking about big trouble.”

“I guess so.”

Everyone reacted negatively. I thought it was okay, but it seems not.

It seemed like I needed to find another answer. When I return to the dormitory, I will have to consult with Grace.

‘Even so for me, what answer is Karas going to give?’

I suddenly became curious. Among the assistant teacher candidates is Karasu.

Even though he has a clean life, let alone a disciplinary record, these are some of the expected questions.

Why do you want a teaching assistant position? Also, what do you gain by becoming a teaching assistant, etc.

“Karasu.”

“Hmm? Is there anything you want to say?”

“What will you answer? Something like why you want to become a teaching assistant.”

So I asked directly. Karas did not write anything in his notebook and closed it quietly.

I had no intention of looking into other people’s private lives, so I had no interest in the notes.

“Ah. It’s about the interview. If that’s the case, I’m not worried.”

“Why?”

“Rather, I would like to ask a question. Is there any reason not to elect me?”

“··· ···”

A fairly unlucky answer came back. However, if you think about it carefully, it is true.

There would be no one easier to ‘control’ her new students than Karas. She is the crown prince of the empire.

No matter how much the nobles of the East join forces, they will not be free from the pressure of Karas.

The reason the East, or more precisely the countries in the East, formed a union in the first place was because of the Matra Empire and the Granada Empire.

So, if Karas becomes a teaching assistant, it will be quite easy for professors to control.

‘Is this the parachute?’

But it’s an airborne unit. It is made up of veterans among veterans.

I nodded my head in understanding.
