Santis Said stood in front of the gate of the lord's mansion in a stiff manner, checking every button and fold on his body over and over again, his messy hair and bloodshot eyes showing that he hadn't slept well all night before, and that he was the result of extreme nervousness.

"Be confident, show your knowledge of magical theory, answer every question of your lord in a timely manner, don't cough loudly or slurred, don't ...... in front of your lord."

The second-level magician muttered in a low voice, repeating several points as if he were memorizing a pre-exam exercise, and at this moment, the gate of the lord's mansion in front of him suddenly opened, and a girl in a maid's dress, who did not look like an adult, ran out of the gate, ran through the small front yard, and stood in front of Santis Seid in a thrilling posture that seemed to pounce, startling the latter.

Betty, the little maid, looked around, then stared into Santis's eyes, and said crisply, "Have you seen a suspicious figure sneaking around the neighborhood?" ”

Santis had just woken up from his thoughts, and he didn't react at once: "Huh? Suspicious person? Didn't see ......"

"Okay, thank you!" Betty bowed exaggeratedly, turned and ran back as fast as she had run out, leaving Mr. Arcanist behind in a daze unaware of what had happened.

It wasn't until two seconds later that Santis woke up - the person the maid was looking for was not herself?

Anyway, how can there be such a reckless maid in the world......

And just when he was confused, the door of the lord's mansion was pushed open again, and the little maid who was in a hurry just now ran out of it again and ran to Santis: "Are you the suspicious figure who is sneaking around the neighborhood?" ”

"Uh...... I was just walking around the neighborhood, but I'm not sneaky, and I'm not a suspicious person," Santis explained a little helplessly, he always felt that the little maid in front of him didn't seem to have a good brain, for fear that if he said a wrong word, the other party would be wrong - the maid was not a very high-status person, but her ability to run to deliver a message meant that she could talk directly to the lord, and she had to be careful when she spoke, "I have something to ask to see the lord, yes ......"

Betty didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and said loudly with a happy face: "Oh, then you come in, the master is looking for you!" ”

Moments later, Gawain met in his study the second-level arcanist from the royal capital: Santis Seid.

He had already remembered that he had seen the other party's name - in that hundred-person reinforcement group from the royal capital, a second-level arcanist was considered a rare "upper-class talent" in that team. According to the hierarchical distribution of this era, the professional is destined to be nobler than the ordinary craftsman, and the spellcaster is the nobleman among the professionals, although a second-level arcanist is only a low-level professional, but due to the convenience of magic and the extensive knowledge of the magician, this arcanist can be said to be the backbone of the team - so he was arranged by Gawain to the magic crystal smelting factory as soon as he came, responsible for testing crystal products of various proportions.

But after that, he completely forgot about the man.

On the one hand, he was really busy with affairs, and he was not at peace all day because of the affairs of the territory and the cultists outside, and on the other hand, this Mr. Santis really had no sense of existence - he neither worked hard for higher treatment and status, nor made any outstanding contributions, and after placing him in the smelter, he honestly burned the kiln there, and according to Hetty's inquiry, this royal arcanist was "mixed with the furnace workers every day, and he couldn't tell the difference". If he hadn't taken the initiative to run over this time, I'm afraid Gawain would have completely forgotten that there was such a spellcaster in the territory.

Now that he remembered it again, he looked at the royal master in front of him with great curiosity - with messy hair, red and sunken eye sockets, a thin and tall figure, wearing an old robe that had been washed a little white, he stood in the center of the room stiffly and nervously, and his hands were still subconsciously fiddling with the buttons on his clothes, which were about to be pulled off by him.

"Santis Seid, a second-level arcanist, from the Royal Mage Guild, right?" Gawain looked at the nervous young mage for a moment, then suddenly said, "What is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

"Ah, I...... I'll ...... it," Santis forgot all the prepared drafts in his mind for a moment, and he held back for a long time before he said his intentions directly, "I heard Miss Jenny say that the lord is recruiting teachers......"

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, the announcement of recruiting teachers in the territory has been released for more than a month, and it has also spread to the 100-person aid group, and several literate craftsmen have applied to become temporary teachers in the night school, but he didn't expect that a second-level arcanist would also be attracted by this news: "Indeed, I'm recruiting teachers - are you interested?" ”

"Yes...... Yes," Santis Said, with a hard suffice, finally pulled the buttons off his clothes, "I...... I can...... I hope to be the tutor in your house, I am good at the basic theory of arcane and magic, and I also have some knowledge of heraldry, the history of Ansu, and the etiquette of the nobility, although I am not of high rank, but I am good at teaching others, and your heir can rest assured that he will leave it to me......"

"Stop," Gawain interrupted halfway through hearing that he knew the Arcanist was completely mistaken, "I think you've misunderstood the purpose of this recruitment order - I'm not looking for a noble tutor for my own heirs. ”

Santis looked dazed and nervously rubbed the buttons in his hands: "Huh? Isn't it? ”

"Don't you know? Now I only have two children, one is Hetty, and the other is Rebecca, the former has been a teacher for many years, and the latter is both civil and military, and both of them are more advanced in spell casting than you—Rebecca may indeed need to make up for etiquette lessons, but you obviously can't beat her, unless you are proficient in both weapons, and you are good at running and charging," Gawain spread his hands, "I am not looking for tutors for my two granddaughters, but for night schools. ”

"Night school?" Santis continued to look dazed—he didn't seem to know anything about it.

"Haven't you heard of it?" Gawain suddenly became curious about this strange arcanist, "The most ordinary civilians and serfs in the territory know about night school, but you don't even know?" ”

"I ...... I've been in the crystal smelter since I received the appointment," Santis had a look of shame on his face, "and other than that, he was reading at his own residence and didn't pay much attention to anything else. If Miss Jenny hadn't told me this time, I wouldn't have known you were recruiting teachers. ”

Gawain looked at this restrained, nervous and a little sluggish arcanist with a smile, and said in his heart that he was really worthy of being a carefully selected talent from the nobles of the royal capital, and it was really difficult to stuff into the team of a hundred people without a little character flaw: "Night school is for commoners, but also for serfs and slave laborers in the territory, do you understand?" I am not looking for a high-ranking teacher to teach etiquette and heraldry to the children of the nobility, but someone who can teach ordinary people to read and write. ”

Santis opened his mouth for a moment, it seemed that it was the first time he knew that Gawain was doing literacy among civilians, and he obviously didn't understand it very much, but just when Gawain thought that the Arcanist Mr. who had finally woken up was going to politely leave, the latter suddenly nodded and asked, "Then if you become a teacher in a night school, will you also pay extra as the recruitment order says?" ”

"Would you like to?" Gawain was surprised, "Do you know that you are going to teach a group of civilians who have just learned a few words and can only count to a hundred?" ”

Santis smiled stiffly: "I have taught the magic theory of the merchant's children who don't know how to learn in the royal capital, I don't think it's too difficult...... Probably. ”

After repeatedly confirming that the arcanist really intended to accept the job, Gawain couldn't help but laugh.

Finally there is a formal spellcaster willing to go to the night school to teach, he has tried many times before to recruit mages from Tanzania Town or Kant Territory, and even recruit mage apprentices to be night school teachers in the territory, but when they know that they are facing a group of "untouchables", all of them without exception expressed their refusal, it seems that in their minds, commoners and serfs are born with intellectual defects, and they belong to a different species from the brain structure of mages or nobles, So they didn't believe they could teach civilians advanced knowledge, and they didn't want to accept this challenge at all—

Not only did they refuse because of arrogance, but they also rejected early because they decided that they could not teach those "untouchables".

But now a second-level arcanist has volunteered to "apply", and although the process is a little different from what was expected, this Mr. Santis Said seems to be genuinely willing to do the job.

"Are you short of money?" Although Gao Wen was happy in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, because he could see that the other party was tempted by the extra reward every month, "The mage shouldn't be short of money, right?" ”

"Actually, mages are also short of money, especially those from civilian backgrounds," Santis Said embarrassedly, "I want to send money to my family, and my family will stay in the royal capital ......"

Gawain raised his eyebrows: "Are you from a civilian background?" ”

"Yes...... My father was a cook in a noble family in the royal capital, and my mother was an herbalist. ”

It is indeed a commoner, but it belongs to the wealthy class of the commoners, and it is quite a status, and it is indeed possible for a family of this level to fight and send their children to learn magic in the hope of being able to enter the upper class, and a person like Santis, who has already obtained the official qualification of a second-level arcanist, has actually shed his civilian background and is already qualified to enter the upper circle, which can be seen by his appearance...... But I can't see it at all.

Gawain voiced his doubts, and Santis's expression became even more embarrassed, even with a hint of shame: "I have indeed obtained the qualification of a second-level arcanist, but my mana reserves have a birth defect, and I ...... every day Only three to five spells can be cast. ”

Gawain suddenly felt in his heart - it was really a flaw that would lead him to this.

Santis's spell flaws are similar to Rebecca's, but they are different extremes: Rebecca has a strong mental power and mana reserves, and can throw hundreds of large fireballs every day without feeling tired, but can only build one spell model, while Santis can build multiple spell models, and can learn the most profound and complex arcane spells, but has very little mental power and mana reserves......

Although Rebecca is flawed, she is a nobleman, even if she is in the middle of the family, so she can still live in the castle and live a better life than any commoner, but Santis is a commoner, and when he finally became an official spellcaster but was found to have a birth defect in the magic reserves, he will only be kicked away by the upper class, and the family may also owe a lot of debts - both human and monetary debts.

He will join the 100-man Aid Group, and I am afraid that part of the reason is that he came for the subsidy given by the king.

After figuring this out, he finally had no more doubts about Santis's choice.

"Then, welcome to become an honorable teacher," Gawain stood up behind his desk and nodded and smiled at the young mage in front of him, "and the lessons you are going to teach...... It should not be limited to ordinary literacy, I have other arrangements for you. ”

Santis hurriedly bowed, "Ah, okay, Lord Lord. ”

Gawain: "Now let's talk about the first thing - you put down the button in your hand first, and you'll be able to get out of the pulp......"

Santis: "......"
