Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Blink. Blink.

Chiyou stood in a daze. But soon, a fierce fire rose in her heart.

"Grandmaster, I've already been dropped out of school. So what is there to go back for?"

With deep breaths, she used her hand and bowed just as they did in the movies.

"Grandmaster, I am willing to be an exorcist!"

Someone has to protect her family.

"Chiyou! Are you serious?!" Mother Obyn bellowed at the top of her lungs.

She didn't mean to be rude. But they had just come out of this. So how could she be comfortable with her daughter facing more of such scenes in the future?

"Mom! I've decided!"

"Mom! Sister knows what she's doing." Chindu added, clenching his little meaty fists.

When he grows up, he'll take care of the family, freeing the burden from his sister's shoulders.

"But.. But..."

"Mr. Obyn, Miss Obyn... I also have positions for you."

"Eh?-"

The worried couple glanced at each other, not knowing how to react.

The Grandmaster had positions for them?

['Host, are you wanting to employ them as caretakers?']

'Hmm... They would be the caretakers of the handymen outer sect.

Of course, this didn't mean they were weak. After all, they would still have to boost their cultivation levels to continuously do their tasks.

Moreover, he didn't know whether it was the luck of being Chiyou's parents, but both were blessed with very rare innate cores that would make them cultivate faster than the average person.

They were indeed good candidates for the job.

~Gulp

"Grandmaster, does this mean that we'll also be facing these creatures?"

Dorian shook his head: "Not necessarily. Your task will only involve Handymen and Outer Sect matters. In future, you might have to face them... But not anytime soon."

The couple breathed out from relief.

Though they were uncertain about what this handyman and outer sect thing entailed, provided they wouldn't constantly meet these creatures, they felt it wouldn't be too bad.

Plus, from what they gathered, it looks like they would get paid as well. They would get money, and their monthly rations do pills.

Eh? For heart attack or heart attacks?

The couple didn't understand why pills were given. But they decided not to think too deeply about things.

Of course, seeing how headstrong Chiyou was, they knew that she wouldn't be changing her mind.

That's why they agreed to be Caretakers.

They might be afraid, but no matter what, they would like to be close to their children, keeping an eye on them.

Still, looking at their youngest, how was this all supposed to come together?

Mother Obyn bit her lips worriedly. However, before she could say anything, Dorian was quick to ease her concerns.

"Don't worry; your schedules will allow you both to switch and swap positions, leaving the academy at will."

"Really?!" The couple's eyes lit up like torches the more they listened.

Hahahhaha~

Good. Good... This way, they could look after chindu while still seeing Chiyou.

.

One of them could stay in the academy for 3 days while the other remained with Chindu, seeing him off to school and doing the necessary.

And after that, they could swap again. In this way, one parent would always see Chindu.

Again, they could both leave the academy too. After all, their positions did not require them to always stay within academy grounds.

Though it was good if they did, they could often leave for a couple of days, spending time outside, together with Chindu.

Besides, they weren't the only caretakers that the academy would have.

Dorian planned to get at least 6 caretakers; some focused on the handyman region and others on the Outer sect

Just like any Academy and sect, one's talents will have to be tested and assessed before they could become students.

Even in exorcism, if one didn't have certain levels of innate talent, it would be suicide to allow them train to become exorcists.

That's why not everyone can be one.

One might long to do so, but because of their naturally born core, roots and spirits, it wasn't advisable for them to do so.

Dorian didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but all those who chose to stay back at the Tian house were great candidates.

.

Anyway, 2 days from now will be the official testing day. And those on the list would have to place their hands on the orb within the estate, accessing if they were academy material or not. And those who barely made it would be selected to start as Handyman disciples.

If they could change their fate and breakthrough, they would be allowed to enter the Outer Disciple Zone.

It might look harsh, but in truth, the heavens were saving their lives.

They jumping into the fire would only be risky unless they prepared diligently.

All these rules were why even with exorcism being popular back in his previous world, only 0.16% of the world's population could enter the many sects and academies.

Make no mistake; this amount was still huge.

After all, the total population of construction workers in his previous world came up to 0.2%... Which was rightly 23 million.

Meaning in the entirety of his precious world, 23 million out of the billions of people were construction workers.

As for this current world, he didn't know the percentage of talented people. However, the orb given by the system would be the only way to test if going to the oath of exorcism was right for them.

After all, not everyone could be an exorcist.

Science was still an essential aspect of people's lives.

People needed to be plumbers, architects, construction workers, teachers, and workers in other professions.

So if everyone became an exorcist, where would that have humanity?

Maybe the heavens also did this to shuffle and redirect things, in all fairness.

.

Exorcist was a job, just as dentists and other professions were jobs.

Not everyone can pass the bar exam to become a lawyer.

Likewise, not everyone could pass this exam to become an exorcist!
