I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

Chapter 258


(258) Record update

The interview happened after that .


I heard that for the interview, there would be three interviewers for 10 applicants at one time . However, for some reason, my interview was performed without any other applicants .


I was being treated specially .


I was told in advance that the interview would be conducted by a man said to be the Mercenary Guild’s guildmaster, a State Knight, and a sponsor Merchant .


【Gladiator: Lv29】


The guildmaster had an advanced job . Amazing, he was certainly br.i.m.m.i.n.g with muscles . He seemed suited to wield a greatsword .


【Knight: Lv12】


The soldier-like man was a Knight but his level was low . Either he had only recently become a Knight or that he was raised as a sheltered child .


The last was a well-dressed man but,


【n.o.ble: Lv12】


He was actually a n.o.ble, it was an outright lie that he was a merchant . Was there a custom in this country for n.o.bles to falsely state their ident.i.ties?


“So you are Ichinojo-kun . I was able to watch your practical examination, although from a distance . ”


The n.o.ble grandly waves his arms and said to me .


“I am grateful . ”


I replied but in my heart, I believed that he should have spoken after the guildmaster and the Knight if he wanted to falsify his ident.i.ty .


“So why do you want to become a mercenary?”


“I only have a talent for fighting so I wanted to at least work at a place where I could utilize this strength . ”


I answered with a textbook answer .


If this was a regular interview, I could have shown off my own ability more but I had already done so much during the practical examination . Now, I replied with a textbook answer to present myself as an easy-to-handle person .


“I see — Do you have a unit which you wish to join?”


“Yes, I excel in fighting against multiple enemies so I wish to fight as the country’s sword at the foremost frontline . ”


“Last question, what are your opinions on the Dark-Elves?”


Hn? I couldn’t really grasp the intention behind that question but I recalled that the country had a friendly relationship with the Dark-Elves? In that case, I guessed it would be all right to just say what I felt .


“I am only acquainted with one Dark-Elf but she is a good person . Well, Hanmuno has benefited extensively from the food products brought over by Dark-Elf merchants . I believe they are good friends of this country . ”


The n.o.ble smiled with joy after I answered .


Was that the correct answer?


“The results will be announced this afternoon . Please wait in the waiting room . ”


Hey, n.o.ble-sama . Are you not going to let the guildmaster and State Knight ask any questions?


The results were posted that afternoon .


Many people crowded around the poster so I waited until the crowd subsided .


Well, it was unlikely that I would fail .


Although, from the conversations I heard, the examination was actually not meant to pa.s.s or fail the applicants but to investigate which unit to a.s.sign the mercenaries to . Since mercenaries suited for defense-oriented or attack-oriented units fight with different styles .


Due to their lack of manpower, it seemed that applicants would pa.s.s as long as they were not utterly incompetent .


So my record for consecutive failures to find a job has finally ended . It has been a long run .


I never would have imagined that after creating a record of a hundred consecutive failures to get a job in j.a.pan, I would succeed in getting a job in another world .


There were not many people left in front of the poster so I slowly walked over .


My number was 417 .


First, I took a look at the first unit ― — the numbers of the mercenaries who would fight at the foremost frontlines .


“ … Eh? Not here?”


That was unexpected . It seemed that I was not a.s.signed to where I wanted to be .


Perhaps I was too strong so they a.s.signed me to guard important persons? Or so I thought, but eh?


“Not here, not here, I can’t find it anywhere!”


My number, 417 was nowhere to be found .


At that moment, my consecutive failure in finding a job record was updated .


So embarra.s.sing .


I was embarra.s.sed by my overconfidence . Looking at the numbers, more than 90% of the applicants pa.s.sed . Not only did middle-aged Lumberjack and Veteran-san pa.s.s, but even Mr . Cut-in-line also pa.s.sed so why did I fail?”


Could this be a curse?


A curse to fail to find a job .


I bet I was a heinous interviewer from the Human Resource department of a large corporation in my previous life who rejected countless youngsters with bright futures . The deeply held resentment of those youngsters had piled up and cascaded to my current life .


I could only imagine that was the reason .


“All right … Now that it has come to this, I might as well just breakthrough the national border on my own . That would be a much quicker method . ”


As I muttered with a dry laugh, the examiner for the practical examination approached me .


“Ichonojo-kun, could you please follow me?”


“… O-okay . Erm, may I know the reason why I failed?”


“Ah, regarding that . ”


I was thankful for his kindness .


If he told me my reason for failing, I could try to improve in the future . That was a lot better than just praying to pa.s.s .


“Please wait, Ichinojo-kun . First, allow me to apologize for failing you as a mercenary . ”


“N o, i t i s o k a y, I a m u s e d t o i t . ”


“You don’t seem fine … Never mind . To be honest, I have a reason for failing you . I was told that you are my niece’s life savior . ”


His niece’s life savior?


I could only think of one person I helped since coming to this country .


“Are you talking about Shumei — ― sama? In that case, you are Marquis Harold?”


“Yes, I am sorry for deceiving you . Shumei‧Yu‧Harrier is my younger sister’s daughter and my niece . ”


Marquis Harold explained before turning to the door behind him and said ‘Come in’ in a loud voice . The door opened and I saw the girl I spent a week together with .
