Currier [D-Rank]

Currier:

The job of a courier was interesting to say the least. Shin was not too sure about the logistics about the processes a mailman had to go through, though today was certainly a learning experience in regards to an industry he knew next to nothing about; except for being on the receiving end for getting mail. The route for them was already predetermined, the mail having been sorted out in an efficient and effective delivery manner. It was simply up to them to sort out the mail and packages in their route so they wouldn’t need to constantly stop to try and find the next package as they reached their destination. It was a simple process that was easy enough to follow, but in the same regard could prove to be difficult if something was not accounted for or missing entirely.

Right now, currently, Shin was staring at a pile of unsorted, mentally wishing there was a way for the mail to sort itself out to save himself the hassle of having to do it himself. Squating down for a moment, Shin picked up a single envelope, identifying the name and address that was indicated on the item. Making a mental note of it, his eyes wandered around, trying to find another delivery that would be in the same area; though truly he could just grab anything and sort them out as needed. “Why can’t they just sort this out for us so we could just get to delivering.” Shin muttered quietly, his hands reaching for another parcel to identify the package’s destination to see if it would come before or after the first one he identified.

Choosing to not directly respond to Katsumi’s, Shin instead chose to keep going ahead with the task at hand. A few solid seconds of silence from Shin’s end would pass by, simply choosing to let the man stew by not acknowledging his presence. The faster he was done here, the less time he would have to spend with Katsumi. Katsumi, for all intents and purposes, was a shinobi, yet his brain did not seem to work half the time – according to Shin at least. “Well… it may be suited for my skill level right now, but unlike you I won’t be stuck doing menial things a year from now, unlike you. Please let me know how it feels to be stuck here for the rest of your life.” Katsumi’s assumed plan was one of the brightest ideas the boy has had and Shin would acknowledge it. “Well, that’s certainly the only smart idea you’ve had thus far, maybe you are moving up in the world.” Having sorted most of the mail out into a few small piles, Shin would split the piles up equally between them.

Shin gathered the pile at his feet, an equal size to the one remaining for Katsumi. “Don’t take all day.” Shin would say as he would turn and make his way out of the post office and take to the streets to deliver the parcels. With the amount of mail they would each have to deliver, it would take roughly three hours at most for an average individual – perhaps longer for Katsumi. One by one the pile would dwindle down, each package never having an incorrect address making the work so much easier for him. Shin would finish his deliveries within two and a half hours and would simply make his way back home once he was completed.
