―Flutter!

“… .”

A pure white document waving before my eyes.

Deus looked at it for a moment and then lowered his gaze.

A girl with blonde hair that barely reaches her chest. No, woman.

Teacher Tiamat, the cradle’s physical education instructor, is smiling.

“Recommendation letter. Teacher Tiamat.”

“Yes! Letter of recommendation. That too! It’s a letter of recommendation for the dispatch!!”

So, what on earth is that contingent? I have to explain that first.

When there was no response, Teacher Tiamat also realized something was strange.

“Eeh? no way! Deus student. It’s not like you don’t know what a detachment is, right?!”

“I don’t know.”

“Lie! It won’t work if you make fun of the teacher!”

“That’s because I really don’t know.”

He’s doing this because he’s mistaken about the genre, so how would you know?

“Oh my god. oh my god. And how on earth did you get into the cradle?!”

“In passing, someone said, ‘You must go into the cradle.’ That’s why.”

A place where talented people gather. I guess I could use an oath there.

It was said that the graduates of the cradle were taking care of the monsters at the gate.

For that reason, I just applied blindly and was accepted right away.

This is how a possessed person who mistook the genre ended up in the cradle.

“Really. It won’t work! This teacher will explain, so listen carefully! It’s a contingent!”

… A strange explanation of something quite serious followed.

While explaining the dispatch, he suddenly moved on to the other side.

I even forgot how much I said, so I asked questions, etc.

Deus, who had been listening patiently, said, ‘So.’ And I cried out.

“So. According to what the teacher said. The contingent is a group of talented people who graduated from the cradle as current students of the cradle. Students who become qualified to deal with monsters that jump out of the gate. Is that correct?”

“That’s right! That’s it!”

Did you take 15 minutes to give such a simple explanation?

They say that if your body is good, you don’t need to worry about it, but this is a bit too much. teacher.

“The contingent includes the valedictorian and valedictorian of all grades except the first grade. They say you can get in if you write a letter of recommendation from more than half of the teachers at the cradle.”

“Yes! Wow, Deus, are you a martial arts type?! You organize it so neatly?!”

This is not a skill, it is a basic. Does this person even have muscles in his brain?

The teacher looks like a cute golden retriever. It’s so strange.

‘no. wait for a sec. Then you don’t get in right away just because Teacher Tiamat writes a letter of recommendation, right?’

More than half of the cradle’s teachers must write letters of recommendation.

There are probably over a hundred teachers with special abilities residing here, so we need at least fifty.

“Hehe? this this. I know what you’re thinking when I look into your eyes! Now you, just one person, are doing this and saying what’s the use?!”

“… I never did that.”

They say he has martial arts skills. This is the mental field, mind reading.

“Starting is the most important thing! And even though I look like this, I still have quite a bit of influence?! If I tell you that I am the first to write a letter of recommendation as I have never written one before, other teachers will react amazingly!”

what. It made me tilt my head because it seemed like a childish thing to do.

It turns out that his skills are top class even among teachers, is this what you mean?

While giving his evaluation of Teacher Tiamat, Deus shook his head.

“Thank you for your words, but I have no intention of joining the contingent yet.”

“Huh?! why?! What a great resume you can bring by joining the contingent!”

Only after graduating from the cradle are you officially treated as a person with special abilities.

Only they are qualified to subdue the gate’s monsters with the empire’s permission.

The only deviation from that rule is Cradle’s contingent.

This can be said to be clear evidence that he already possesses genius talent.

So, if you have been in the contingent at all, you will receive love calls from all over after graduation.

Even among those with special abilities in the Empire, they are treated well. Or you could join a great family.

If you are lucky, it is possible to belong to the imperial family and act as part of the emperor’s personal guard in the future.

Therefore, all students at the cradle, regardless of their status, put in great effort.

For Chief, and Deputy Chief. To qualify for the contingent.

Because you can gain practical experience that is as valuable as your life and compete with your seniors!

“It’s okay. I really.”

‘And yet. ‘You’re rejecting the detachment recommendation?’

Teacher Tiamat. Tiamat had to tilt her head.

Do you think you can do it without a letter of recommendation?

It really could be so. Looking at Deus’s skills, he is capable of being the valedictorian of his grade as well as the valedictorian.

Perhaps he will be able to take the highest position right away as soon as he becomes a second year student.

‘but… You’re in first grade now! A freshman who just entered school! No one has such enormous privileges. Even our Shabel senior is said to be the most talented person in Cradle history. It wasn’t until the second semester of my freshman year that I received my first offer!’

Ultimately, there is one thing that all talented people dream of. Being the best.

Some people have different reasons, but they are only a small minority.

Even those who are driven by a sense of duty live with such desires in their hearts!

The other person is a freshman who has just entered school. If you look at it to the extreme, it’s a child.

It is impossible not to be shaken when faced with such an incredible opportunity.

‘… I see Yeah, I get it. Why are you doing this? Hehehe. amazing. It’s really, really amazing! Deus. You really are a great guy! ‘He wasn’t just a junior who excelled!!’

Tiamat smiled and collected the letter of recommendation she was waving around.

And then, as if to show off to Deus, he threw it away! and tore it up.

“Yes. Sorry, Deus. Even if this teacher got it wrong, he got it wrong for a long time.”

“… ?”

“If you are truly talented. A real man should do that. Hey, that’s amazing! I wish I had come in 5 years sooner. As a 4th grade valedictorian, I would have asked her out on a date!!”

Hehe! Tiamat burst out laughing and turned around.

“Forget everything about today. Let’s pretend it never happened! Letter of recommendation? no way. This teacher was an idiot! Try your best! Then I’m going? See you in gym class!!”

With those words, Tiemat becomes a golden flash and disappears in an instant.

“… .”

Deus looked at the scene blankly and sighed.

“Ugh.”

Do you know who didn’t do anything? To be honest, it’s tempting.

Experience is experience, but you can officially fight that monster.

How far can I do with my body now? I’d like to check that too.

But, nevertheless. The reason why I rejected the offer.

“I do not receive any help in the fight I face.”

Oath. Because I thought the world was going to be destroyed. Because I misunderstood the genre.

That’s why I’m bound by the curse I swore to myself.

When the moment comes to fulfill. When the time comes to avoid, your body reacts on its own.

Like right now.

―Ssss

The pain that was causing a tingling pain in my left arm soon became silent.

The act of announcing the moment when an oath may be broken and warning about it.

In this situation, even receiving a letter of recommendation is, in a way, an extension of help.

Originally, it was said that qualifications were available from second year students, so it was definitely ‘help’.

If you accept help, you will break your oath. And if you break it, something terrible will happen.

Pay the appropriate price. Lose your strength. Or, worst case scenario. Either die.

‘… When you think about it, isn’t it absurd?’

He clearly told me to make a covenant. Just like the apocalypse genre he used to read.

So I decided. He engraved the oath on his body and made it a duty, a curse, and a source.

However, this world is not the place Deus himself thought.

If that’s the case, then why on earth did they ask us to make an oath? They use supernatural powers, not oaths.

“Ahh!”

As I was walking down the street and thinking about such things, I heard someone’s urgent scream.

I glanced up and saw a kitten climbing to the top of the tree.

-Myan! Wow!

The crying sound is quite urgent. I went up, but it seems I can’t come down.

And below, two female students were at a loss.

“Baby! are you okay! Uh, what should I do? Should we hurry up and call the other kids?”

“I guess that’s what it is… ah! wind! How to! I’m going to fall like that!!”

Of course, strong winds blow. The tree branches are shaking wildly.

Thanks to this, the kitten is in danger as if it will fall at any moment.

‘hmm.’

They are also talented. They will handle it on their own.

I thought about it and tried to pass by. Strangely, I don’t lose my footing.

Probably his oath. okay. It seemed like it caught me again.

Are you now interfering with this aspect? It’s really amazing.

Shaking his head, Deus lightly leapt across the ground.

-What?!

He jumps up to the 5th floor in one go and catches the cat.

And just like that. It falls in front of the students who were trying to rescue the cat.

―Kwaang!!

A man’s dream. Superhero Landing. Try doing it like this.

‘The cat is here,’ I thought, a bit foolishly. I was trying to say.

“S-sorry!!”

“Aaaa!!”

“… ?”

hey. Ibo shows. Weren’t you trying to save the cat?

If they run away like that, what will become of me? ?

The cat, which was grabbed by the scruff of its neck and hung languidly, looked at Deus, who was dumbfounded.

―… Miyaaa!!

If he could speak human language, he would probably have shouted like this.

‘what! What is this monster!? Let go! help me! Please don’t eat me! Cats have no taste!!

One unfortunate thing here.

Deus didn’t really have the talent to understand the minds of animals.

He looked at the cat that was screaming in his hands for a moment.

“Yes. I will be your butler.”

―Myaaa!!!

It was the beginning of a cohabitation between a monster and a cat.
