Chapter 241 - 234. New Prospects
"Alright, let me get this straight once again," Zein looked at the list of applicants in front of him. "We’re going to label these applicants into level?"
"Yes," Abel flipped through the papers.
It was the first stage of their job; putting the applicants into categories based on their prospects. They would look into the portfolios and motivational essays, before deciding whether or not those people would pass the initial screening.
"I’m so glad I have you now," Abel grinned. "I had to do this alone before."
"Do we have to read all of this?" Zein arched his brow. For some reason, these people wrote such long essays for their personal branding and motivation. "What would happen to the esper’s department?"
"Eh--espers usually don’t write long flowery word. They ended it in one or two concise sentences," Abel shrugged. "Alright, let’s put the good prospect here, the bad there, and the rest in the middle for further perusal."
"Hmm,"
Zein let out a sigh. Again, he did not think before that most of his work would be done behind the desk. Especially since now he could only dove into dungeons with Bassena. All he did these days were making schedules and monitoring the kids’ progress.
But whining wouldn’t decrease the number of documents he needed to peruse, so he stretched his neck and started to read the applications.
Just like Abel had said, many came from the yellow and orange zone. Of course, the basic threshold was still C-class, but this only made things even more incredible. In lower zones, C-class was a sought-after level, because they were good enough to take care of a small or medium guild, and the minimum salary stated by the government and association was still affordable. A lot of C-class guides had reputable status in those zones, and those in B or A class were basically a treasure for how rare they were. So, for the ones with enough experience to throw that stability and come to Trinity was something.
While they might be seduced by the nice condition and working environment, Trinity never stated how many they would take, or if they would take any at all. There was also the risk of being sent to the Deathzone. Looking at this many applicants felt surreal but also...rather suspicious.
