Chapter 3 – The Life of an Unemployed (3)
“Hello. My name is Katherine Peroz, the hostess of the Peroz family.”
“Hello. I’m Edward Weiss, introduced by Professor Rosalyn Erenes.”
“You must have split your busy time to come, but I’m sorry I made you wait.”
Even if she said that she waited, it was about 10 minutes and she was not busy, so she said no.
Just then, the car brought by the ladies-in-waiting arrived, and Mrs. Ferroz offered her car to me.
Whether it was a high-end product, I, who was unfamiliar with cars, could also recognize that it was a high-end product.
As the silence continued under the guise of tea time, her wife opened her mouth.
“Isn’t Mr. Weiss very different from other people?”
“May I ask what it means to be different?”
“It literally means. When you meet people to find a tutor, they usually put a lot of work into their careers.
Let’s list Who raised whom from where to where. Where did you work?”
“But Mr. Weiss didn’t say those things.”
In fact, I don’t think the tutoring I did was something to be proud of.
There was a time when a student who was in the middle rank was put right below the upper rank, but this was because the student worked hard.
It was all that a student who had a single digit rank raised one rank in 6 months.
“Actually, before I contacted you, I did some research on your tutoring history. Are the results better than I thought?”
“Thank you for a good look.”
“Do you know why Mr. Weiss was called by our family?”
“Actually, I don’t know. I didn’t hear the reason because it was suddenly offered.”
“The reason we called Mr. Weiss was because we thought he would be the best match for our situation.”
What the hell is the reason that people I’ve never seen before in my life seem to be a good match for each other?
Unless you are a fortune teller or see the future.
“You must be wondering what the hell this person is talking about.”
He must have said it by looking at my stupid expression.
“I saw the paper Mr. Weiss wrote.”
It was clear that what this person was talking about was my rejected graduation thesis. Other than that, there are a few things that have been picked up by myself.
Because it was the only thing that could flow to others through one way or another
“I was impressed with the perspective presented by Mr. Weiss in the thesis. Unlike the current perspective that only pursues speed and completeness,
It was impressive to see.”
“Thank you for liking it. But what on earth does tutoring have to do with that…?”
“I guess I just said too much nonsense.
“I have two daughters. The first one has already graduated from the academy and university and works for the Imperial Magician Order.”
“The problem is the second daughter, but she has no problem with using magic itself. The problem is that she uses magic intuitively.”
“I don’t understand why you write intuitively.”
“To put it more intelligibly, you can say that it is written instinctively. However, it is important to note that the academy does not just focus on practical skills.
Don’t you know Mr. Weiss?”
There was nothing wrong with using magic instinctively like that.
Rather, in certain fields, those instinctive types are more preferred.
Magic consists of a structural formula for activation.
It is also true that the more perfect the understanding of the structural formula, the higher the quality of the magic.
It doesn’t matter how you activate it yourself. You just have to use it well.
People who intuitively activate magic have a different way of accepting it, but it’s not wrong.
However, if people of such an intuitive type are influenced in any way, they will have trouble activating them.
Generally, psychological influence accounts for the majority of cases.
Therefore, the system of society does not prefer the realm of such basic instincts.
The system chose the theoretical field as a kind of filter because it cannot check everyone individually.
And the concerns of the housewife must also be in line with her.
She probably didn’t want to hear that a woman from a prestigious magic family used vulgar language like an animal.
“I understand the circumstances, but if so, what do you want from me?”
“I want you to supplement the theoretical part until graduation. If the theory side is supported, the practical skills will also develop.
It’s a good thing in many ways.”
After her words, the lady raised her glass as if her throat was dry and drank her cup of tea.
As if she wouldn’t stop me from thinking, she didn’t say anything in particular.
I’ll have to look at the conditions a bit more, but looking at it simply, it was a good deal for each other.
I had a light pocket, so I didn’t even have to go back to school right away.
Furthermore, for me who had been repeating the act of studying for nearly 10 years, nothing suited me better.
However, if there was one thing that stumped me, it was the feeling of incongruity I felt from the first time I received this offer.
As she was thinking about the reason for that, she heard the sound of an empty cup being put down as if she had finished drinking her tea.
“Of course, it was a sudden request, and there are probably many things you don’t understand.”
“When we cross-validated with our circumstances and information right away, we thought Mr. Weiss was suitable.”
“If I really thought it wasn’t, it would have been fuzzy in Professor Rosalyn’s line in the first place.”
It was a theory.
If I didn’t want to, I would have done it as if I hadn’t been on the professor’s line in the first place.
After thinking about it for 10 minutes, I made up my mind and decided to tell you the conclusion.
“I’ll do it.”
###
After we decided to do it, all the negotiations went smoothly.
How to pay salaries
How many times a week will you do it?
If the number of times is set, how many times will you do it per day?
It was a very free situation on my side, so if this really isn’t a problem in any way
It was only after a while that I was able to accept it.
After discussing related matters for 30 minutes,
Three times a week, on the second, fourth, and sixth days of the week, we decided to have additional classes once every two weeks if necessary.
It was agreed that the time would be 3 hours, free time before dinner after school dismissal from the academy.
“Let’s start the first class next week.”
“Okay, but what can I teach you?”
“I think you can talk about that when you come back in a little while.”
I thought not much time had passed, but before I knew it, it was time for the academy to end.
“Then shall we go?”
“Wouldn’t it be less boring to wait in a place with something to see than to wait in this room with nothing?”
It didn’t matter if I was here, but I said I’d understand because saying it’s okay would only make the picture weird.
The place I followed was a room with portraits and decorations of many people hanging there.
“If you’re waiting for me, I’ll be back soon. I’ll send you here when I arrive, so please wait a moment.”
The wife then left her room.
There was only silence for a while and there was nothing to do, so I decided to look at the things hanging on the wall.
The portraits were people I didn’t know at all, so I just thought they were high-ranking people.
Looking at the medals he knew, most of them were given to high-ranking officials.
People often think of a family that is good at using magic when they say that they are famous for magic, and that’s not exactly wrong.
But what you are looking for is different. There are cases where research is important, and there are cases where such ability is used to make a name for yourself.
The Ferroz family is probably the latter. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain so many decorations.
After a while, I heard voices outside.
– Are you here?
-I’m home.
– Prepare briefly and go to the parlor on the first floor.
-Are there any guests looking for me?
-There is someone who will take care of tutoring for you. I thought it would be better to talk about it.
The conversation between the two ended like that.
In fact, it was an agreement to some extent, but it was an agreement in which the opinions of the parties were not reflected at all.
I don’t know if the atmosphere in the house is vertical or horizontal, but either way, if the person concerned isn’t satisfied, the content will be meaningless.
As I was thinking meaninglessly, the door clicked open.
The one who opened the door and came in was the wife of the head of household and a woman who seemed to have returned the wife of the head of household to her school days.
“Greetings, I’m Mr. Weiss, who will be in charge of tutoring.”
“Hello. My name is Edward Weiss.”
It would have been a normal situation for the greeting to come back, but it didn’t.
What returned was the gaze, that kind of gaze that measured others.
Soon, a greeting came out of a mouth that hadn’t spoken yet.
“My name is Seria Peroz.”
An awkward silence passed. The wife of the head of state, with a slightly embarrassed expression, seemed to have to arouse her mood.
Opened her mouth
“It seems that my daughter is a little shy because she is seeing her for the first time.”
“Then I’ll be out for a while, so would you like to talk to me for a while?”
Leaving those words behind, the Duchess left the room.
What followed was a suffocating silence. I don’t know if it’s awkwardness or because I don’t have anything to say.
Still, as a kind of teacher-to-be, she feels like she has to say something the moment she opens her mouth
The words that came out didn’t come out of my mouth.
And those words were difficult to predict from anyone in this place.
“Are you happy Mr. Weiss?”
