1-Episode 1 Is This A Profession?
'I'm thinking about what kind of occupation Arel will be given, dad, I didn't sleep a wink yesterday because I was so nervous!
'Hmmm, your mother is even more nervous than she was.
'I'm sure Arrell would be a [senior position]! After all, he's your sister's brother!
Oh dear, my family is still noisy as usual.
Why do they seem to be more excited than me?
My name is Arel.
I'll be ten years old this year.
Whenever I turn ten, I have to go to the temple.
The Goddess has blessed me in order to give me her blessing.
After receiving the Blessing, one is given a vocation without exception.
What one does for a living can have a profound effect on the rest of one's life.
'But even so, Arel is so calm. When my dad received the blessing, he was so nervous that he peed his pants on the way to the temple...
That's information I'd appreciate you keeping in your heart, Dad.
Because there's no point in fussing over it.
It's not going to change the profession you're given, just because you make a fuss about it.
I'm just going to have to accept it.
I'm sure you're not the only one with an eye for detail. It's hard to believe she's ten years old.
'Absolutely! This kid is bound to be a big deal in the future!
Hmmm, if I become a celebrity, my house might be full of fans.
If that happens, I'm sure there will be a lot of women courting Arel...................that's not right! Your sister will not allow it!

Mom and Dad draw a self-serving picture of the future.
My sister is angry for some reason.
Well, it's the usual.
And once they start to fantasize, it's a long time.
If we wait for them to finish, we won't be able to finish in time.
I decided to leave it alone and leave for the temple quickly by myself.
I don't want to be late and have to wait another year.
Yes, today is the day of the blessing.
Today is the day of the blessing.
We live in a small town in the middle of nowhere.
We don't have a resident priest who can perform the rituals to give the blessing, but a priest is dispatched once a year from a larger city.
Therefore, all the children in the town who were the same age were to receive the blessing at once.
'Arel! Wait!
Why do you want to get ahead of me, Arrell?
'That's right! It's terrible to leave your sister behind!
They came after me.
"I can get your blessing on my own.
'It's a momentous occasion. It's only natural that you should be accompanied by your family.
So that's how it is.
Come to think of it, I remember going with my sister when she was blessed three years ago.
When I got to the temple, there were already a group of children and their families that I recognized.
It's a small town and there are only about twenty children of the same age in total.
''Then I would like to begin the blessing ceremony.
The priest announces.
He is an elderly man, a man who has been in charge of the blessing rituals of this town for many years.
One by one, they went forward in turn and prayed with the priest.
'Yes! The Blacksmith! Now I can follow in Dad's footsteps!
I am a magician!
The children shout for joy as they get their chosen profession.
《Blacksmith》 and 《Magic Master》?
They're all 【Basic Position】.
There are two types of occupations, 【Basic Position】 and 【Major Position】.
Most people are in the 【Basic Position】, and 【Higher Position】 is rare.
This is because it is only by mastering the basic job that one can become a senior position.
However, very rarely, there are cases where one can be given a senior position with the first blessing.
''Oh, could you possibly be Leon-kun's...?''
As I stepped forward, the priestess mentioned my dad's name.
'It's been over twenty years now, isn't it? But I still remember the time when Leon and Fara received the blessing. I remember when Leon-kun and Fara-chan received the blessing. I didn't expect two kids to be given [senior position] from the beginning at the same time.
Farrah is my mother's name.
My parents are both from this town, so-called childhood friends.
That's why we were blessed in this town on the same day.
My father is the 《Mage King》 and my mother is the 《Sword Princess》.
Both of them were given 【Higher Rank】 from the beginning.
I heard that there have been many invitations to serve in the royal palace, but both of them refused these invitations to live in this town where they were born.
Naturally, my father is the best sorcerer in town and my mother is the best swordsman in town.
It is said that the professions given to them by the Goddess are greatly influenced by their bloodlines.
That's why the children of 《Blacksmith》 are often 《Blacksmiths》.
Although I've heard there are exceptions.
That's why the people around me seem to have high expectations for me as well.
You're going to be Leon's son next.
''Arrell-kun. I'm sure he's a [senior position] too.
I wonder if you'll marry my daughter when she grows up.
I hear those voices from all over the place.
'Go for it, Arel!'
Arrell, fight!
I've got your sister with me!
Well, it's my family that is the loudest.
What in the world are we supposed to try so hard to do when all we have to do is receive a blessing?
As I was praying to the Goddess, a kind of revelation suddenly came down in my head.
Hmm, apparently this is my profession.
.........hmm?
But this ... is it a profession?
The only thing that popped into my mind was
--Unemployed.
It was a letter that said.
