Chapter 3: Professor Reif
The orange-haired girl is named Rika Fujimaru, and along with Matthew Gilerette and Yukisai Yagi, she is one of the forty-eight chosen masters.
Dressed in the same imperial uniform as Yagi Yukisai, white on top and black on the bottom, with stockings. This uniform has many functions such as cold protection and waterproofing, and it is not bad for practicality and ornamentation. With the cheerful expression of the newcomer master, the whole person is full of lively flavor from the inside out, giving people a feeling of ignorance of the world.
After inquiry, I learned that she knew nothing about magic, and she didn't understand Chaldeans, and she was an ordinary person through and through.
This kind of ordinary origin is strange in the Chaldeans, which are full of magicians.
The two introduced themselves to her separately, and it could be seen that Fujimaru Rika breathed a sigh of relief. When you go to a strange place, you will always worry about a lot of problems, and it will be much better to have an acquaintance or a gentle guide. The two people in front of her now are obviously very gentle.
After I was relieved, I felt much more relaxed.
"Ah, what are you doing here? Be careful of being scolded by the director, Yagi-kun. ”
Speaking what was clearly the chatter of an elder, a man in a green coat and a green top hat approached with a gentle smile.
Although Yagi Yukisai is the leader of Group B, it is a pity that in the world of magicians, talent and strength are not important, and the inheritance of the family is the only condition. Yagi Yukisai is not a magician from a big family, and the Japanese magician family that has been inherited for five generations is naturally looked down upon by those magicians of eight or nine generations.
As mentioned before, the director often scolds him, and he also has the [subtle] psychological effect of his bad background.
Although the director, Olga Marie, advocated that the Chaldean family background and seniority were not important, in fact, she still regarded this as an achievement in her heart, and divided these royal candidates into many grades.
Of course, another major reason why Yagi Yukisai was targeted by the director was that he always showed that kind of smile that made people feel less serious, right? In the director's heart, when she lectured, the other side should listen with a serious face, what kind of words does it look like!
And every time this happens, Professor Leif will always come over to help him play a round, and by the way, it's for this reason that Yagi Yukisai actually has a good impression of Professor Leif.
Oh, Professor Leif is the man in the green top hat just mentioned, he has a gentle attitude, I don't know when he has been working in this Chaldeans, and the most important invention of the Chaldeans, the Sheba device that can observe human history, was invented by him.
It seems that when he was the previous director, Leif was the mainstay of this institute, so Director Olga Marie trusted him extraordinarily. Probably because of this trust, the director was hostile to the woman who always followed Professor Leif, wore a black evening gown, and did not look like a researcher at all.
"Hello, Professor Leif, Miss Catherine, anyway, I've been scolded by the director~"
Yagi Yukisai showed a relaxed smile without caring and greeted the two people in front of him.
Miss Catherine was the woman in the black evening dress just mentioned, with a black scarf on her head structured like a wedding dress, and was nominally Professor Leif's assistant, but the Institute secretly felt that she was Professor Leif's lover.
How to say it, some people have secretly dressed up a variety of theories, but it is more common, and sure enough, Miss Catherine's dress is too similar to mourning clothes, giving people the feeling of a surviving person, black, it seems that whether it is the East or the West, has a special symbolic meaning reminiscent of death.
"Please don't get used to this kind of thing, Yagi-senpai!"
Matthew listened to him joking, took it seriously, and corrected him with a little trouble, causing Yagi to smile even brighter.
"Here's ...... Oh! The 48th Master, right? I've heard it, and it seems like I'm coming today. ”
Professor Leif looked at the orange-haired girl who was still a little confused, and said thoughtfully, as soon as she heard this, the girl was smart, sat up straight as if reflexively, cheered up, and introduced herself: "Yes!" I'm Rika Fujimaru from Japan! Today it is assigned to the human ...... Chaldeans! Please advise! ”
It was probably the long name in the middle that she didn't remember, and she slurred it in her mouth. Yagi Yukisai understands her very well, after all, the Japanese have this class concept in their bones.
Japan is one of the countries with the most obvious [poor society], and there is a fairly strict definition of superiors and subordinates, and for her who has just come to work in a new place, this tense feeling makes Yagi have a sense of intimacy of [ah, this is the Japanese~].
"Oh, it's good to have spirits. So, you came through a regular open recruitment, right? How long has it been trained? ”
Hearing Professor Leif's question, Rika Fujimaru immediately showed an embarrassed blush on her face, she lowered her head and said with a little embarrassment: "When I heard the news of qualification, I came over immediately." No, I didn't have time to train. ”
"Really? That is, a complete layman? ”
For some reason, Professor Leif seemed to have a little joy on his face when he heard this answer? He smiled and continued: "Speaking of which, it seems that some ordinary people have also been recruited in order to make up the numbers, are you one of them?" Sorry, I was too inconsiderate. But you don't need to be pessimistic, this mission [needs to be completed by everyone], everyone is very important. 38 people were selected by the famous magic family, and 10 people were selected by talented ordinary people, which was barely enough to make up 48 candidates for the imperial master. If you don't understand anything, just talk to us. ”
(I just said that I was recruited to make up the numbers...... )
Rika Fujimaru thought a little unconvinced, and complained in her heart about Professor Leif's statement that "everyone is needed for this mission". Suddenly, the man who had just helped him poked his head over, and his black soft hair shook along with the movement, attracting Fujimaru Rika's attention: "By the way, although I am a magician, I am also a member of the [Talented Ordinary 10 People]~~ I am also Japanese, please advise." ”
"Haha, are you going to have a good relationship with a newcomer so soon? He is worthy of being the number one unserious lord of the Chaldees. ”
Professor Reif laughed and quipped, "If you can be a little more serious, maybe the director will be a little less angry - by the way, as soon as you talk about the director, the director's briefing will start soon, so you can go quickly." The director is the kind of character who can't tolerate mistakes, and if you're late, I'm afraid you won't have to be stared at by her for a year. ”
Professor Reif's words made Yukisai Yagi smile bitterly: "I feel deeply. ”
It seems that it took more time to find Fufu than expected, and Yagi Yukisai knew best what kind of cautious person the director was, so he quickly ran away with the newcomer Fujimaru Rika, who was still in a mess of brains. Matthew bowed lightly to Professor Leif and hurried after him.
Looking at the backs of the three of them as they walked away quickly, Professor Reif's mouth curled into an evil smile.
"Oh, it's finally done...... All the people in the world who have the qualification of [Spirit Child Transfer]. ”
