100-Secret of military officer Jessica




Heal.

 I cast a recovery spell on the goblins with the arrows in their heads.
 The goblin squad has fifteen dead and about seventy injured. In comparison, the archers suffered only minor losses of five dead and about thirty injured. This battle ended in a complete one-sided victory for the archers.
 As for me, I was heaving and casting recovery magic while heaving. The amount of magic power at each time is small, but as expected, it's exhausting to keep casting it on more than a hundred demons.
 The arrow naturally slips out of the goblin's head and the goblin opens its eyes with a snap.

''Oh........''

Are you awake?

'Oh, thank you, Master Noah...'

If you're awake, go and report to Gilanka.

"Ha.

 The goblin stands up, bows to me and walks out.
 Finally, we're all done. Though my hard work is still going to continue, since there are two more open exercises scheduled to take place.
 The second exercise was, as I recall, Milo's 'Cutting-In Team' and Amanda's 'Hyakutei'. Originally, Milo was in charge of the 'Beast Squad', but because he said it would be easier for him to move around with a small group of elite soldiers, he was given the 'Slice Team', which consisted of a hundred giants of level 90 or higher.
 Maybe it's already done, but let's go take a look at it just to see what's going on - as I looked back, thinking that.
 There was Jessica standing there, who must have come to check on me.

'Noah-sama,'

Oh, God, Jessica.

It was my first time to lead a real battle. Thank you so much.

 Jessica says that and bows her head towards me.
 When I first met Jessica, she was eight years old, but now, two years have passed since then, she's ten years old. However, I still feel like a child.
 I wonder if there is something adult in her face.

He was a brilliant conductor.

'Thank you. It was a military strategy I only knew from my desk, but...

I can't believe you're doing that for the first time.

Oh, no...

 Pop, Jessica's cheeks turn red.
 But in fact, I don't think it's my first time commanding. I think deciding on crane wings with such fluidity is not something that can be done overnight.
 
 You know.
 I don't need a plan or anything, me.

"'Fraud' now?

'Well, yes. Yes. I can't use 'performers' all the time either, so...

But I was wondering how you didn't find out in the Kingdom of Orleans. It was so easy for me to find out.

Ugh....

 Jessica's lips twist into an embarrassed smile at my words.
 I had some doubts about it. The reason why I found out about Jessica's real occupation is because I happened to see her when I was analyzing her. There was no intention to suspect Jessica.
 Why was Jessica able to keep this hidden from the Kingdom of Orvance? Even though it feels like she has a very keen intuition, like Feliana or something.

''Well I was always very cautious in the kingdom, so........''

Oh, really?

''Yes. In the kingdom of Olvance, the child born into the family is always educated as the next king, the one with the profession 'king'. A child my age, born into the Southend royal family, was born with a 'king' and he will be educated as the next King of Olvance.

Hmmm....

And for royalty who are not 'kings', their future posts are determined by their profession. A 'knight' can be a captain of the Kingsguard, and a 'sorcerer' can be an advisor to a kingdom magician. And those born with professions that are not suitable for royalty can be thrown out or executed.

'Yes....'

 I frown when I hear the inner workings of the Olvance Kingdom.
 It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a job, or that royalty who is a "villager" will be executed, right? If a common occupation like 'baker' or 'carpenter' is created, what happens?
 I mean, that would be Jessica's 'swindler' and so on - and so on.

The moment the voice of heaven came to me, I realized that I was going to die. I'm going to die if I don't.

....

Therefore, it seems that I used the skill 'performer' unconsciously. Immediately after I finished the Vocation Ceremony, I underwent the Analysis, and it was at that time that I was declared to be a 'military strategist'.

 Huh, Jessica shrugs her shoulders with a small sigh.
 On the other hand, if I were to say it, I'd say I'm lucky to have a job that allows me to hide it like that. I'm not sure I can believe in a royal family whose life is affected by a single profession.
 I'm not sure what they would do if a brave man was born into the royal family of the Kingdom of Olvance.

''That's why I was always on the lookout. To the extent that if I felt someone's eyes on me, I would immediately use the 'performer' to disguise myself as a professional 'military strategist'.

I see...

'So I'm comfortable now. I don't have to hide anything now that I've been discovered. I'm not going to be the only one who knows that I am an 'impostor', but I would rather verify what happens if I use my skill 'performer' to play a different profession.

....

 It's kind of strange that Jessica says so honestly.
 It's as if I'm the one who took the liberty of peeking into her secrets with my Analysis.

"Hey, Jessica.

Yes?

What are you up to?

I'm not planning anything!

 No, because, you know what?
 I'm not sure what you're planning to do, before you think it's cute and innocent, if you're being honest like that.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

I'm glad I came to this country. I was caught off guard and was detected, but I've been able to take it easy for that reason.

Well, I'm happy for you, too, if that's how you feel about Jessica.

'Yes, sir. Although it is a false identity, please make full use of me, a 'military strategist' by profession. Master Noah.

....

 Smiling, Jessica smiles at me.
 There is no lie in those words. I've always understood that somehow.
 Just.

"So, what are you up to?

I'm not planning anything!

 Sorry.
 It's just super fun to make fun of Jessica like this.
