"Oh, by the way, I haven't named Kyle yet, have I?"

"Yes, I haven't been named Barca yet.

"Well, I don't know what to do. ......"

What are you talking about, Brother Ars?

"No, I think that both of Kyle's magic will be useful for the future management of the territory.　I'd like to get more guys in Barca who can do more office work."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's what we were just talking about."

"But in order to be able to use Kyle's magic, you have to be named by Kyle. What do you think, Kyle should use another family name instead of Barka?"

　As I was thinking about how to utilize Kyle's magic to meet the needs of the civil servants, I was a little concerned about something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is, I don't want to create something with offensive magic unnecessarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a deep-seated problem.

　Now, Kyle is in a state that I have not named yet.

　What happens if I give Kyle the surname of Barca and he names a candidate for the civil service?

　The magic of Kyle's [speed reading] and [automatic calculation], as well as the magic that I can use, will be available to the civil servants.

　I don't mind if the civil servants will be able to make bricks, but the problem is that they will be able to use offensive magic such as the Fontana family's [Ice Spear].

　In the first place, it is based on the premise that a nobleman has to have a certain amount of merit and trust in order to bestow magic to those under his command, and even today, Carlos of the Fontana family and the knights under his command adhere to this unspoken understanding.

　It is a rule that was established during the long upheaval, and they are well aware of the various disadvantages that would befall them if they break it.

　However, if I were to increase the number of those who can use the [ice spear] unnecessarily, it may cause unnecessary animosity.

　In short, I came up with the idea that Kyle could take advantage of the fact that I am not currently naming him, and dare to use a different family name for him instead of the Barka family name.

　This way, I would succeed in increasing the number of those who can use Kyle's non-lethal magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, it would increase the number of people who would be willing to name the family.

"Oh, I'm not the only Barca?　I feel like I'm being left out."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't say that. No one would exclude Kyle from the group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Well, if you insist, brother Ars, I'd be happy to do it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Please, Kyle. Your power will be indispensable to Barca. In fact, the fact that I haven't named you to Kyle before is the best chance I'll ever have. I'm counting on you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. If you insist, I'll give it a try.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you, Kyle. I owe you.

"But what about another house?　Is there a good name for the house?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, ....... How about the Reeds? Kyle Reed, that's your name from now on."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kyle Reed ....... Yeah, okay. I'll take the name Reed from now on, Brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle is convinced, and we immediately begin the naming process.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carlos, the head of the Fontana family, and Bishop Paul, who was in charge of the Fontana territory, gave Kyle permission to take the name of the Reed family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, a new house of magic was born in the territory of the Knights of Barca.

"So, those guys Kyle named in the church, they still need to study after all?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I guess so. No matter how much magic [speed reading] there is, if you don't know letters, you can't read, and if you don't know numbers, you can't calculate or do anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's not surprising when you think about it. Well, it's only natural if you think about it, but it's still enough to make a ready-to-work civil servant. As long as you can do simple arithmetic, you can do most calculations, and you only have to learn the letters.

　Kyle took the name of the new Reed family, and selected the best person from the school to do the naming.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One boy insisted that he wanted to be one of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had not been in school long, and we had no intention of naming him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Kyle suggested that we give it a try.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I found out an interesting thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle's magic requires only a small amount of magic power, so that even a child can activate it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seems that the child could not understand the magic of [speed reading] and [automatic operation].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not as if the child can read without having learned to use magic, but it is a magic that speeds up the speed at which a person who can read can read and understand the contents of a text.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But I think Kyle's choice of people was quite surprising. It seems that they are not chosen in order of their grades in school.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I didn't pick anyone who was very smart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the way, what criteria did you use to select them?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Someone who can sit at a desk all day and study."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

　He was indeed doing an excellent job of managing the estate that I had forced upon him.

　The school I built in Vulcania is a rather frank one, where I teach them how to read, write, and calculate at the very least while I send them out to eat lunch.

　Even in such a situation, there are some students who can do calculations immediately after listening to a little talk because of their intelligence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is doubtful whether we can entrust the work of a territory to those who do not listen to the teachers and make a fuss.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the teachers were actually checking the students' classroom behavior while they were teaching at the school.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, the diligent ones selected by Kyle began to do the work of Barka as civil servants.
