I Got Fired As an Adventurer, So I’m Starting Anew As an Alchemist! Frontier Exploration? Alright, Leave It to Me!

144.2. Being The First In The World, We Need To Proceed Cautiously, Isn’t It?

All shake their heads.

That’s to be expected.

“There may be some who don’t have any aptitude, but is that alright?”

The adult group glances around for a moment, then all nod again.

Satisfied, Generis nods and picks up the roster.

“Well then, Alfonso-kun, come here.”

“Yes!”

Alfonso stands up vigorously and sits before Generis.

“Now, extend your left hand. Palm up… and don’t move.”

Not only the adult group but also the observing upper-grade students stare at him with tense expressions.

As Generis holds his hand over Alfonso, he constructs the magical formula.

When I went through this, I didn’t pay much attention, but it’s quite a complex formula.

“[Emblem Aptitude Judgment]”

A surge of magical power converts through the magical formula and races through Alfonso’s body.

(Huh… I see. It’s a formula that checks individual magical power in detail. Unlike just engraving an emblem, it consumes a ton of magical power.)

This time, there are only seventeen in Golden Dawn, but normally, several hundred people go through the coming-of-age ceremony, so there’s no way to check everyone’s emblem aptitude.

While I understood it in theory, I realized it once again.

“Hm. Alfonso, it seems you have three aptitudes: [Farmer], [Warrior], and [Lumberjack].”

“I have three!?”

Alfonso exclaims, and the classroom buzzes.

I’m surprised too. Multiple aptitudes!?

“W-What should I do? My parents are in the wood processing business…”

“Hm… While it’s not impossible for emblems other than your aptitudes to manifest, the probability is low. If you want an emblem like [Craftsman], consult with your parents and think it through carefully. Fortunately, it seems you have no emblem that clashes with you.”

“Y-Yes, I understand.”

Both joy and confusion flicker on Alfonso’s face.

Had it been the previous method, he would likely have wished for the Craftsman’s emblem, and if it hadn’t manifested, he would have just given up.

Once Alfonso steps back, I call out to him.

“If you need help deciding, I’m here.”

“Yes… but first I’ll discuss it with my parents.”

“Yeah, that’s best. Even if you don’t have an emblem and continue in your parents’ profession, that’s commendable. And if you obtain an emblem and pursue another profession, that’s also commendable, so remember that.”

“Yes!”

Generis continues to check another student’s aptitude, revealing that student also has three aptitudes.

They were related to the parents’ profession and were crying tears of joy.

“…Craft-kun, could you fetch a potion for me?”

“Oh, of course.”

I pull a mana potion from spatial storage and hand it over.

Generis appears to have quite a lot of magical power, but can two people really drain that much…?

After downing the potion, he continues to check aptitudes one after another.

Fortunately, everyone has some sort of aptitude, which is a relief.

Eight legendary-quality mana potions for seventeen people? Yeah, that’s impossible outside of Golden Dawn.

I quiet the ruckus among the excited students.

“Well then, make sure to decide on your desired emblem by the day after tomorrow. Lunch is prepared for everyone who came today, so eat and then disperse! Don’t go overboard at the festival!”

“““Yes!””

Thus, the first day’s morning concludes without incident.

…If this really spreads, won’t the influx of immigrants increase dramatically?

Even more than now?

Even though we’re already experiencing a daily surge of immigrants, will that accelerate?

Alright. Let’s stop thinking about that for now.
