Words appear on the glowing pedestal, despite not having learned to read or write yet, I could instinctively know what it said.

This is my status, I awakened to a unique skill, All-Equip, it lets me use any armor or weapon no matter what. So theoretically I could wield a huge greatsword as if it were a stick, and heavy plate mail as if I were wearing nothing. All my stats are balanced across the board. My innate skills are racial skills, it seems I acquired a 5-star skill to be immune to the temperature from the combination of my parent's genes, I got Swimming from my mom and two from my dad, Night-Vision and Dexterous Movement. I have cleaning and cooking skills from the time I was helping out my mom.
(Priest) "A unique skill holder! This unique skill is very interesting and can have various uses."
(Care-taker Lady) "My, how shocking!"
(Priest) "I'd recommend sending her to the Noble Maid Facility. It would help train her to be very useful. It might be temporary if a request for someone with her talents is acquired."
(Care-taker Lady) "Yes."
It seems I'm going to be sent to the place where they train maids for nobility. Well, I can't expect much I am just an orphan of common origin.

After that, the care-taker lady brought me to a mansion, she knocked on the door. A butler looking man came out and noticed us, he seems to know what the situation is, this is probably not the first time a girl from the orphanage was sent here. He led us in and we arrived at a room, the butler asked permission from the person inside to go in. We were let inside and behind a desk was a strict looking lady.
(Lady) "If it isn't a lady from the orphanage, brought a new girl to be trained?"
(Care-taker Lady) "Yes, we just had her status unlocked and the priest recommended I bring her here."
The caretaker hands over a letter the priest gave her over to the lady. The lady opens it and looks it over and then looks at me, I can see the intrigue in her eyes.
(Lady) "Interesting. You will be trained as a battle maid, you'll do everything a regular maid does but also trained in combat to be a top-class bodyguard to whomever your future master will be. I am Duchess Martha Edu, I run this facility, Reginald, have her placed in the next carriage headed to the camp."
(Reginald) "Yes, milady. Come with me now little one."
We leave the room and I follow Reginald, the caretaker headed back to the exit. We arrived at the backyard of the mansion where a group of 12 girls ages 5-8 was gathered. Reginald told me the carriage delivers new recruits once a month, today was the next delivery. Lucky me, I guess. Reginald has all of us get into the large carriage and he sits next to the coachman.
It takes 2 hours to reach the facility, it's located about ten kilometers away from the capital. It's a huge mansion surrounded by big and strong walls. The gates open and the carriage goes in. During the ride, I find out half of the girls here are also orphans and the other half have parents and were sent to have a good job in the future. We get off the carriage, in front of the mansion was a strict looking maid in her 40s. Reginald has all of us lined up in a specific order and he hands the maid a stack of 13 papers. The maid looks at us one by one, checking a different paper each time. I was the last one and she looks at the paper and me and her eyes had a hint of surprise in them. She calls over another maid.
(Head Maid) "You take these 12 girls to the beginner maid training dorm."
(Maid) "Yes, Head Teacher."
(Head Maid) "You, Tear, follow me I'll be taking you to the beginner battle maid dorm. Reginald, you can head back to Edu Manor now."
(Reginald) "I'll see you next month, Trina."
Reginald gets on the carriage and it leaves, the other girls follow the maid somewhere. I follow Trina to where I'll be staying.
(Trina) "I was surprised, it's rare getting potential battle maids. It would already be surprising getting one every three years. I expect good things from you."
(Tear) "Yes."
(Trina) "You don't speak much, so teaching about what and when to speak shall be easy. I'll be in charge of your maid training, while a girl named Sasha will handle your combat training, there are currently no other battle maids in training at the facility, they are very rare, and some can't handle the training and have to drop out or risk being crippled or killed."
We reached a small dorm, it's probably small due to how few battle maids are trained.
(Trina) "It's late, once inside a maid will bring a simple dinner, afterward take a bath and go to sleep. Once you have taken lessons for a month we won't be giving you breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We'll only provide ingredients and you have to cook yourself. Early in the morning, you will have physical training followed by maid training in the afternoon and finished by combat training in the evening. That will be your life for the next five years until you graduate. Any questions?"
(Tear) "After those five years?"
(Trina) "Every month Nobles come see what new maids we have available to offer them employment. Now I must go, you go and make yourself acquainted with the dorm. You have it all to yourself after all."
Trina leaves and I go in the dorm, there's a kitchen, multiple bedrooms, and a living room. A maid arrives ten minutes later with a plate of food, I thank her and she leaves. After eating, I go take a bath and go to bed after checking every toom for which one I found comfiest. Life will be hard starting today. I will do my best, I hope my future master is a nice young miss, I don't want to serve some disrespectful noble. Well, goodnight.
