Chapter 24: Who Fights?

......

Thundercloud came to the bulletin board of the academy, and sure enough, he found that there were many work orders on it. For example, finding lost items, or feeding cats and dogs, but the pay is low and unstable.

Some things are gone after one time, and often have to change jobs, and Thundercloud feels a little big.

At that moment, a voice next to me said, "Are you looking for a job too?"

Thundercloud turned his head to look and saw a dwarf guy standing to his right. He is about a head shorter than himself, his arms are more developed, and his appearance is extremely ugly, giving people a sense of honesty.

He actually had a student label pinned to his chest, and his name was Shrek. It's hard to imagine that such a short and unattractive person can actually come to the Academy of Magic.

It seems that the ancients were right, people should not be disguised. Lei Yun hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm new here, can you introduce me to the good job?"

Shrek said: "The best work here, of course, is the commission of the five families. For example, there is a villa area to the east, a magic shop to the west, a training center to the south, a library to the north, and a shopping street in the center. Just look at the commissions from these families. ”

Lei Yun's eyes lit up, he looked up at the bulletin board, and said depressedly: "It doesn't seem to be there!"

"That's right, it's not our turn to do this kind of thing. ”

Lei Yun felt that this guy spoke very methodically, and he didn't look like a simple person. It's no wonder that people who can learn magic here are extremely talented, and they can't be even stupid at all. So he asked, "What's going on with these five families?"

Shrek said patiently, "These five families are the council members of our academy, and they are mainly responsible for the daily operation of the academy. ”

Lei Yun thought to himself, there are actually five major families in the academy, what is this council for? It seems that there are still many things in this world that he can't understand, and in the eyes of others, maybe he is also a freak.

I only heard that Shrek continue: "Among the five major families, the richest is of course the shopping street, but it's a pity that every time I go to an interview, I am rejected by them. At this, he clearly showed a sad expression.

Maybe it's because his image is not very good, so he is often looked down upon. In this world, there are such guys who judge people by their appearance everywhere, and it can't but be said to be a sadness.

Lei Yun's background is also relatively poor, so he didn't look down on the other party, so he asked, "Don't you have to go to class, you actually look for a job every day?"

"The magic here is too simple, there's no need to spend so much time learning, it's better to make more money when you have this time!"

"I love to hear that! In this way, your magic level should be very good, I wonder if you have ever challenged the academy's rankings?"

"Me?" Shrek shook his head, "I've heard that each challenge costs a gold coin, but I still prefer to make money on a down-to-earth basis." ”

Lei Yun was stunned for a moment, this guy still looks too old-fashioned. But it's no wonder that for these people who work hard to make money, they regard money as too important, and if you ask him to take out some of the money to invest, it will simply cost them their lives.

In fact, there are not a few people who have this kind of thought, so Lei Yun was speechless for a while.

The two of them looked back at the bulletin board, and Shrek suddenly asked, "Have you chosen a job assignment?"

Thundercloud shook his head: "I'm not too familiar with these things yet, I have to look into them again." ”

Shrek sighed: "No matter how much research you do, it's useless, the work above is all leftover, and the pay is very low, 30 copper coins a day is good." The matter of earning a silver coin a day is not our turn at all. ”

Thundercloud's eyes lit up: "So, sometimes you can also come across the job of one silver coin a day, right?"

Shrek thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but it's hard. Even if you do, I'm afraid you may not be able to apply. ”

Lei Yun was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Shrek said: "It's very simple, they have a lot of requirements. Men should be handsome, and women should be beautiful. It's not our turn anyway!"

Thunderclouds sweated for a while, thinking to himself what all this work was for?

Shrek suddenly pointed to a commission above and said, "If you haven't chosen it yet, then I'll help this person get a pet first." People who can keep pets are generally better-hearted!"

"Ugh!"

Lei Yun sweated for a while: "You go, don't be polite to me." "It's also strange that he thinks about a good-hearted employer first when looking for a job.

Shrek stretched out his right hand before leaving, and said, "It's nice to meet you, if you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me at any time, my name is Shrek." Don't look at me as a civilian, but the level of magic is passable. ”

Lei Yun shook his hand and said, "I'm Xiao Lei, please advise." ”

With this handshake, Thundercloud immediately noticed that Shrek's palm was very rough and full of calluses. His heart trembled, he was obviously a very hardworking person, and he didn't know how many jobs he had changed, let alone how long it lasted, and he sighed in his heart.

In this magic academy, as long as the magic level is passable, it can generally be mixed up, but this Shrek is an exception......

Shrek left, and Thundercloud continued to study the work commission above, and finally chose a job. I saw that it was written: The arena maintenance personnel, whose job content is to clean and repair the venue, are paid 36 copper coins per day, which is valid for a long time.

It's a low pay, but it's okay to keep doing it. Lei Yun was helpless, he had no choice, so he could only walk towards the arena.

Coming to the west gate of the arena, Thundercloud found the management office, and when he entered, he found that there was a circular underground passage inside. On the right is the magic shop, and on the left is countless rooms, and I don't know what they are used for.

Not far away, a door was hidden, and a thundercloud pushed it in.

I saw a fat middle-aged man sitting behind a desk smoking a cigar in the room, he looked up and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

After Lei Yun explained his intention, the middle-aged man looked him up and down and said, "We are very hard here, there are many people coming in and out of the arena every day, and the area is large, it takes a lot of time to clean up, can you do it?"

Thundercloud nodded, "I think it's okay." ”

The middle-aged man picked up the cigar, took a hard puff, and then exhaled a large cloud of smoke and said, "You think this job is too simple! If you just sweep the floor, it is nothing." The problem is that there are people engaged in magical battles every day, and the stones in the ground can easily be blown out of a large crater. You have to clean up the surrounding rubble immediately and plug the hole, otherwise someone will fall into the pit and get hurt, and that's your responsibility. ”

Lei Yun frowned, and the middle-aged man said again: "This job is not for everyone, I don't think you are suitable." ”

Lei Yun was still thinking about whether to do it, but at this time he was not convinced: "Why is it not appropriate?"

The middle-aged man patiently explained: "Sometimes the blasted out stones even exceed a hundred catties, and it is difficult for a thin body like you to fill it back into the hole, so there are often people who work for a few days and leave." ”

Thundercloud immediately said, "I know earth magic, so moving these stones is not a problem." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up: "Do you know earth magic?"

Thundercloud thought for a moment and said, "Yes, what I'm concerned about now is whether I should solidify the hole in the ground after filling it in?"

The middle-aged man put the cigar in his hand in the ashtray and flicked it: "Of course, we have a coagulation magic potion here, just pour the stone into it, and then pour some water, drip the magic potion and it can solidify." ”

"I see!" Thundercloud's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I want to ask, how much does a bottle of magic potion cost?"

This question is very abrupt, and if it were someone else, you would definitely not understand the intention of Thundercloud. However, the middle-aged man was taken aback: "Young man, that's a fifth-level magic!"

"I also know that it's a fifth-level magic, so I want to ask, if you can save a bottle of magic potion, how much can you pay me every day?"

The middle-aged man sat up straight: "Hey, are you kidding?"

Lei Yun said: "I'm serious!"

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes at him, "If you can restore the ground without magic potions, I can give you an extra silver coin every day." ”

"Really...... Really?" Thundercloud's eyes lit up: "Okay, I decided to try!"

The middle-aged man said slowly: "Don't worry, show me a performance." ”

Thundercloud looked around and said, "Here?"

"Yes!" the middle-aged man leaned back in his chair and said, "Everyone can say beautiful things, but few can really do it." It is easy to destroy a stone, but it is even more difficult to restore it. If you really have this ability, you might as well show it to me here. ”

Lei Yun frowned: "Okay, although I don't like to demonstrate in front of others, but for the sake of this job, I have to make an exception." ”

The middle-aged man's face turned straight: "You don't have a magic wand, do you?" There is a magic shop not far away, do you want me to borrow one for you to try?"

"No, isn't it a fifth-level magic? I don't need a magic wand yet!"

"You, you're kidding, aren't you?"

Thundercloud took two steps back, bent down, pressed one hand on the ground and said, "Look at it!"

With a "boom", the ground in a radius of two feet all sank, many huge stones were warped, and even the table on the ground was almost deformed, as if it had experienced a strong earthquake.

The middle-aged man stood up in fright, and even the cigar in his hand almost fell to the ground, and exclaimed, "Really, fake?"

Lei Yun said: "Is this okay?"

The middle-aged man said: "When ...... Of course, please restore it!"

Thundercloud bent down again, his hands on the ground, and the stones around him were put together one by one, and in the blink of an eye they were restored to their original shape.
