"Grandpa, I'm home!"

An elderly man with covered eyes sat in a chair.

He had the expected small stature.

"Jay, where have you been? I've told you not to wander around, it's dangerous, and you haven't eaten, have you? Did you study today? If you don't study properly, you'll face trouble in the future... and..."

Doo-dah-dah-dah-dah!

The endless stream of nagging unfolded like an unbroken spell.

Jay, the boy, didn't seem to hear the familiar nagging at all as he interjected.

"I've brought Lord Raymond."

"...Huh?"

"You know, the one you always talked about, Grandpa. I've brought him here."

Sage Mevinson's elderly face stiffened, then went white, and he had a dramatic reaction.

He leaped to his feet and bent over at an almost 120-degree angle.

"No, my lord, here of all places? H-have I done something wrong? If I have, I apologize!"

"..."

Raymond made an incredulous face.

He's worried that he did something wrong!

'How timid...'

Suddenly, Raymond remembered a rumor he'd heard before. Mevinson wasn't just an incompetent sage,

'...an incompetent, timid sage. No, but this is too much!'

Timidity had gotten the better of Raymond!

Raymond was worried.

'Is it really okay to entrust things to someone like this?'

But then he shook his head.

'What he showed early on in his management career was real. He's brilliant, at least when it comes to internal affairs.'

Then a message popped up.

[Efforts are being made to recruit talent as a Healer Lord.]

[As a perk, you can use 'The Wise Eye of the Monarch' once!]

Raymond's eyes widened. It seemed to allow him to use it once as a taster.

'Use, The Wise Eye of the Monarch!'

Then the messages popped up.

[Recruitment Status]

[Name: Mevinson

Profession: Sage (Political Science, Internal Affairs)

Profession Talent: A

Personality: A]

[Excessive timidity results in penalty points in the talent field!]

[Limitation: Other information is unavailable due to insufficient skill proficiency!]

'If it's an A, isn't that incredibly outstanding?'

What's even more astonishing is that this garnered a penalty.

If he can overcome his timidity, he might achieve a minimum of an AA, possibly even AAA, demonstrating S-level capabilities!

'I just need to provide proper support from behind!'

Raymond's determination extended not only to the Wise Eye of a Ruler but also to Mevinson.

He made a vow to transform the timid sage into his ally!
