Meir, who gives a ticking sermon to Quina regarding the control of the flames, spoke to Fran either to distract from the spearhead of the story or in a hurry.

”So, what occupation did Fran take?

Asked by Meir, Fran responds at his usual casual rate.

”Mm. Sword King”

”Blah!”

It was the moment when Fran nodded cocklessly and mouthed his own profession. Meir sprayed a great deal of tea that was in her mouth. Ah, Fran's face is already dirty with tea.

As I wipe Fran's face with a cloth, Meir asks Fran again with a slightly trembling voice.

”Duh, what profession did you get?

”Sword King”

”Kee, I didn't want to hear it wrong!

”No way. What is a king-ranking position...”

Not just Meir, but Quina is amazed at the extent to which I can read her expression.

What do you mean, ”king position”?

”It's about a profession located at the top of the battle-based profession. Apart from warrior professions such as the Sword King and the Spear King, there are also magical professions such as the Fire King and the Storm King.”

”You're the second person I've actually seen besides my father...”

Apparently it was a higher-ranking profession than I imagined. Is it a king position......

”The sword king means you got sword deification, right?

”Mmm.”

Do you still know? So you're asking me right away, is that a powerful skill you can't ignore? Meir's eyes are terribly serious.

”Ready? Pay close attention when using. Make sure you don't have people around you, especially the first time you use them.”

'Is that such a dangerous skill?

”It's dangerous. If you fail to control, you and your people will not be alone.”

Is it powerful enough for Meir to say that, and dangerous...

”In phylogenetic terms, it would be a self-reinforcing skill. But it's too powerful to control. My father has made mistakes with it.”

”Failure?”

”When His Majesty activated the Spear Divinity for the first time, he killed one of his companions who was partying at the time.”

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell kind of skill is that?
