Chapter 6 Newcomers
Just as Curt was imagining what kind of work the magician apprentice in front of him would entrust, the answer given by the eldest sister suddenly interrupted Curt's random thoughts.
"What? The client is the eldest sister, you?"
This answer made him feel something was wrong, and Curt couldn't help but look at his elder sister's head with suspicious eyes.
"Yes, the client is me. If I count it, it can be regarded as a 'private task' entrusted to you by myself." The eldest sister started to introduce the situation, "This little guy is called Oscar. As you can see, he is an apprentice at the academy. According to him, he wants to be a mercenary in his spare time to make some money..."
"Wait, wait a moment!"
I had expected that the task entrusted by the eldest sister as the client must be quite strange, but the current situation is really strange so that it scared Curt.
"What do you mean is that as an apprentice of a magician, he is going to come to us to grab business and become a mercenary?" This voice could be said to be a roar. Curt even felt that not roaring was not enough to express his surprise, "Is this the end of the world? The employment situation is not so difficult yet!"
In fact, it is not a fault for Curt. This situation will shock him even if he puts it in front of any mercenary. After all, although the magician is not a handful of scarce talents, he is also a "talented" person who is different from ordinary workers and can manipulate unusual forces.
The boy in front of him was very young, with a tender face, he looked at the fussy Curt with a cold look. Judging from the badge symbolizing identity on his chest, he was undoubtedly a magician - although now he can only be regarded as an apprentice who has mastered the fur at most.
All living things in this world - and some non-organisms - have a certain degree of magic power in their bodies, and humans are naturally no exception. The magic capacity of different living creatures is naturally different, which is not only limited by species, but also by individual differences.
Generally speaking, the magic power held by humans in all intelligent races is at a very mediocre level - for most humans, magic power is only a power that can be felt but cannot be actually used. However, among most "ordinary people", there are also many talented people.
By proposing, refining the surplus magic power, and then using it in a certain way, it can produce "phenomenon" that can affect the objective world. Although this phenomenon has many names, most countries now choose to call it "spells", and those who master "spells" are magicians.
There are actually not many people with the qualifications to use magic, most of which are only used to perform simple actions and cannot effectively organize magic into "spells". Therefore, these people only learn simple methods of controlling magic in primary schools and cannot become spells.
Those who can master "spells" usually go to colleges in various places to learn and use their own "unique talents from ordinary people". There is no doubt that these unique people can find jobs that others envious after they graduate from college.
In any case, the words "mercenary" that live in the ivory tower are quite inconsistent. Since the emergence of the mercenary industry, it has never taken the initiative to rush here to say that you want to be a hard, tiring and suffering mercenary. After all, if the apprentice at school wants to find a part-time job, there are many jobs waiting for them in the school - such as copying scrolls, processing materials, or working for the school.
"I have confirmed his wishes before." The elder sister spread her hands, and her face was innocent, she seemed to want to declare herself. "After all, it means that everyone has their own aspirations. For those who have such needs, we cannot express any opinions from our standpoint, right?"
"Please believe me." It seemed that they couldn't stand the two of them singing together. The young man who had been silent looked at the two who seemed to be performing crosstalk and said their decision loudly. He looked serious and he was hard to doubt, "I do want to join you."
"I think your decision is not a level of each aspiration... This is an unprecedented first time." Sighing, Curt pointed out outside the tavern, "Young man, are you sure you didn't mess with the 'talent dispatch agency' across?"
Just opposite Nanfeng Tavern, there is a tall building that is completely different from the Mercenary Management Office, which uses "as long as it is not illegal, do whatever it is entrusts" as the propaganda point - it is a "talent dispatch agency" under the management of the Spellcasters Federation, which specializes in dealing with all issues about spells.
That is one of the work units that magician apprentices dream of entering - undoubtedly the opponent who competes with mercenaries in high-value tasks. If the young man in front of him really confused the "mercenary management office" and the "talent dispatch agency", it would be difficult to end except for trouble.
"I didn't mess with the positions of your two."
The boy seemed to have a bit of angrily glanced at the sign of the "Talent Deployment Agency" a little far behind him, then turned to look at Curt and his elder sister's head.
"No matter how many times you ask, I can reiterate my wishes-I, Oscar Rogris, volunteered to join the Cartris Mercenary Management Office to become a part-time mercenary."
Curt didn't know what to say. The unwavering appearance of the boy in front of him made him quite powerless, but from his firm eyes, Curt could see his unwavering determination.
"Interesting, I'm pretty optimistic about you, boy."
Curt smiled, his pale face seemed to have improved a lot.
Then he looked at the eldest sister and said, "So, my eldest sister, your entrustment is to let me take care of this newcomer and give an evaluation after the inspection period is over, right?"
"As you said," the eldest sister nodded, directly affirming Curt's guess, "You have been a mercenary of the 'iron' level for so long, and it's time to bring new people."
"So that's it, no wonder you said it's very suitable for me." Curt smiled a little sinisterly, "Because I'm responsible for leading newcomers and ensuring his safety, the work difficulty rating should be half a level higher than usual - and please don't forget to add the bonus for training newcomers."
"You are such a financial fan... Forget it, I understand. I will add it to you after the task is over. Do you know if you want to work hard for me before this!"
I have seen people who take advantage of the terms, but have never seen people who blatantly declare to the management staff that "I want to take advantage". If it weren't for her own entrustment to ask Curt to bring new people, my elder sister might have really stuffed Curt head down into a wooden barrel full of fire in anger.
"I have something to do, you guys talk about the work content yourself."
After saying that, she turned her head and walked back to her studio.
"Okay, work!" Curt looked at Oscar sitting beside him, "So let's talk about the specific content."
"Please say, I will write it down."
Oscar opened the notebook seriously, looking like he was about to take notes.
"Don't be nervous." Looking at the nervous Oscar, Curt smiled happily, "I'm not trying to talk about the details of the task, I just want to talk to you about the basic situation."
Oscar looked a little embarrassed, but he still maintained his attitude of taking notes: "Basic situation...for example?"
It seems that he is usually a good student, Curt smiled secretly: "First, let me introduce myself. I am Curt Ryanster. I can probably be considered a swordsman. Although I know a few simple spells, I must be at my level and have nothing to teach you except how to use weapons."
"I'm done, what about you?" Curt signaled Oscar to relax and introduce himself first.
"I? I am a freshman in the Elementary School of Oscar Rogris Catris College. Majoring in the Air System Spell in the Elementary Department... That's about that."
"I roughly understand that the air system in the elementary school is quite diverse." Curt smiled in praise, "Then let's talk about the precautions. First, I can't care about everything you say, right? So during the inspection, I can only teach you the most basic things as a mercenary."
"No problem, I get it."
Oscar thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Well, very good, next second point. You have your way of action, so I try not to interfere with you, and in most cases I will only provide some advice on the sidelines. Of course, I guarantee your life safety by 100%. During the mission period, I will give priority to helping you if you encounter any trouble."
"You can rest assured that my measurement level was acceptable during the simulation war in the academy, at least it was not so easy to die." Oscar seemed to think that Curt underestimated himself, "As long as you are not pointing fingers and doing nothing by yourself, I agree with this one."
This young man is worthy of becoming a magician in the future. He has a personality, thoughtfulness and confidence. Curt just smiled and said that he had no objection.
"The final thing is to determine the time - your college is a Wednesday and a weekend, right?"
"That's right."
Curt thought about the arrangement, then gestured his fingers in the air, as if calculating the number of something.
"This is how you work - because you are a part-time job, the time is set on the eighth and ninth days of the first link. You must come here to report to work in accordance with the regulations, and you can arrange the last day by yourself, whether you need to rest or work, you can do it."
It was not a troublesome request, and Oscar agreed without thinking: "No objection."
This was basically settled. Curt stood up with a smile and said, "It's very good, it's convenient to talk to smart people."
