Eiji and the others still continued on their physical training.
They would also do trial missions every week.
By now they had already called these missions as a clean up mission!
The department was just dumping them the troublesome beasts in the forest that managed to get into the Kingdom's villages and roads and killed some people.
By now, it was an easy task for them, eliminating Magic beasts that was just below the master level, but those that had become a level stronger, well.. they weren't given that task so it's all good.
It was especially very helpful for Eiji, he got some money by selling these magic beasts carcass and cores. Though it was split between the three, it was better than nothing.
Eiji was already told that he would be working with a higher tax than most, as he was an orphan, given subsidies and was taught in the school by the kingdom. And by the teachings in the school, those that were in this program have to pay back the kingdom when they are officially taken into the departments and are earning money.
Eiji thought it was just fair, and the kingdom itself only makes you pay for about eighty percent of the subsidies given as well as the tuition in school.
In his first year, with ten months of school, each month's tuition was 5,000 Gins, then the 1,000 Gins subsidies, this was in each month of a year, totaling 72,000 Gins.
For the second year, 6,000 Gins a month and a 1,200 Gins Subsidies totaling 86,400. The third year was 8,000 a month and a 1,500 Gins of Subsidies, totaling 98,000.
The fourth year was 10,000 a month, and a 2,000 subsidies, totaling of 112,000 Gins. And the Fifth and Last year was 12,000 a month and a 2,500 subsidies, totaling of 150,000.
All in all it totalled to 518,400 Gins! And he had to pay eighty percent of that which is 414,720 Gins!
Had he entered the Warrior Department, it might have taken him more than two to three years before he could pay that! The reason being, the warrior department has a 10 man team! So in each mission, they would have to split it up with the ten of them! And its not even a guarantee that he would be able to pay it it that time frame!
Although Eiji would have to split the eranings of his team by the two others, the nature of the missions of the two Departments were vastly different!
Gautam had told them that in each mission, the lowest level might be a B level mission! A B level mission has almost 700,000 to a million reward!
Even if he split it up by the three of them, that would still be a huge sum of money! Not to mention that most of their mission are target elimination, their belongings would be free to be taken! Unless the kingdom had to take an item back, it was fine to take it if it wasn't something the kingdom needed!
They might even offer a reward if known that you got something useful from the mission!
So for Eiji, money actually isn't a problem for him now! He wasn't rich, but at least he doesn't have to worry about what to eat for his next meal!
For now the three of them were at the last month of the six months training program of the department!
Gautam had told them that today, they are officially undertaking the real special secret training of the department!
The three of them were at the underground base rather than the forest training grounds.
Seeing the three of them, Gautam approached them, he didn't have his usual jovial demeanor and just started to talk seriously.
"The three of you had done well for these last few months! In fact, you have exceeded my and the department's expectations!
And so, now we will conduct the real secret training of the department!
The three of you better be ready!"
""Yes sir!!""
They caught on the seriousness of Gautam's expression so they also answered seriously!
When it's time to goof off, they goof off, but when it's time to be serious, the are serious! The three of them understood this well.
They followed Gautam to another passage from the basement.
After a few hourse they saw the end of the passage.
It was another hallway but with a lot more rooms in it. There were two people in the hallway.
The Department Commander Sadou and a woman wearing the Assassinations Department's Cloak, with its hoodie on, making them unable to see her whole face.
"Hmm.. good! The three of you are here!
Let mw first introduce you three to one of our department's vice commander, Shira Hanzo! She's one of my cousins as you can infer from her last name!
Shira, these are the new recruits, Hanzo Akai, Yami Marco, and Noya Eiji!"
""Hello S-Miss!""
Eiji stumbled his words. He wanted to say sir but the other two said miss, so he changed his words halfway.
"Hmm.!"
It seemed that the vice commander didn't seem to care though and just started talking.
"Alright! This time, the three of you will now perform a test! This is the real secret training of the department! Be ready!!"
""Yes sir!!""
"Good! Now the three of you, today, and for the rest of the month, you will know exactly the feeling of killing people!"
"!!!!"
