"Dormatt, why don't we go to the notice board and see the recruitment notice Master Jean posted?"
Dormatt sneered. "I'm not interested in dealing with ordinary people. It's a waste of my talent. You can go."
After saying that, he sent his guest out, closed the door, and went back to his crude alchemy lab.
Dormatt was already 40 years old this year, and was a Gold-ranked Magician in the City of Silver. He had shown good magical talent since he was very young, and after being discovered by a Magician in the City of Silver, he was brought to the City of Silver's Star-Moon Secret Academy to receive Magician training.
Even though Mages of his level were everywhere in the City of Silver, he was now a celebrity that their village was proud of. Thanks to him, his parents were able to live a comfortable life without having to worry about food or clothing.
Unfortunately, his smooth growth stopped at the gold rank, which was the limit of ordinary people. His teacher was very disappointed, but what could he do? He was also very desperate.
He had thought that he would be a rare magical genius, but after coming to the City of Silver, the Capital of Magic, he realized that there were too many people more talented than him. His talent could only be considered average.
Dormatt studied magic with all his might to improve his affinity with magic, but ten years had passed and he was still stuck at the peak of the gold rank, unable to make any progress.
He was in despair. With human talent, if he couldn't reach the grandmaster level by the age of 40, there was basically no hope for him in this lifetime.
Dormatt, who had given up on struggling, started to study alchemy and enchantment in his spare time while studying magic. After a few years, he had grasped quite a number of related techniques. He opened a small shop in the City of Silver and earned quite a bit of money by selling some beginner-level magic scrolls and magic tools to foreign merchants. His life was quite enjoyable.
When he heard Jean's announcement, Dormatt's heart was full of disdain and even disdain.
Become a teacher for ordinary people?
That was too embarrassing, wasn't it?
Although he was only a gold magician, he was the most popular magician among the Divines!
Magicians had a noble status and were respected. Even nobles had to be polite to them. How could he give up his current position?
Dormatt was proud of his status as a magician!
Such a noble magician was going to impart basic knowledge of magic to children who might or might not have any magical talent? He even wanted to try and help them comprehend the Mana?
What a joke!
As a noble mage, how could he condescend to do such a thing!
Thus, when Dormatt saw so many people gathering on the bulletin boards or looking up at the elemental projections in the sky and carefully reading the news that Jean had announced, he was filled with disdain and even wanted to laugh.
He simply could not imagine what it would be like for a noble mage to become the teacher of an ordinary person.
Speaking of which, was there really someone who could afford to hire a mage as a teacher?
Dormatt glanced at the crowd outside the window and then smiled contemptuously. He turned around and picked up a test tube that had already been heated. He shook the test tube lightly and narrowed his eyes to look at the clear liquid inside. He revealed a satisfied smile.
"I just need to add a bit more Magic Dust and this Giant Bear's Strength Potion will be complete. After deducting the three failed sets of materials, selling it for a thousand gold coins would net me a profit of two hundred gold coins. My success rate would be considered high even in the City of Silver."
Dormatt opened a small box with one hand and took out a bit of sparkling powder. This was Magic Dust made from the magic core of a second rank magic beast. The quality was about the same as low quality Magic Crystals, so the cost wasn't high.
Just as Dormatt was about to add the magic dust into the mix, a loud commotion suddenly came from outside the window. The sound of the boiling crowd scared him so much that his hand trembled. He added a little more magic dust, and then he was horrified to find that the almost completed reagent suddenly started to heat up. Dense bubbles appeared in the test tube.
"Damn!"
Dormatt's face turned green, "There's too much Magic Dust and the magic overflowing is disturbing the balance of the materials!"
He threw the test tube out the window without any hesitation and then crouched down while holding his head!
"Hong!!!"
The test tube that was thrown out exploded with a bang.
"Fuck! Which bastard threw this thing!? "
"Aiya, fuck! I just bought a robe! "
"Upstairs, get out here for me! Do you believe that I won't kill you!? "
Dormatt held his head as if he didn't hear anything. Then several fireballs hit his window, but they were blocked by the public magic barrier of City of Silver.
"If you have the ability, then hide in there for the rest of your life!"
"If you're afraid of explosions, then don't play with alchemy if you don't have money! Why are you acting like a grandson! "
Dormatt's mouth twitched. He wanted to stand up and quibble with the other side, but it was a pity that the other side's words were too harsh.
Although Dormatt was a standard high-income person by the standards of ordinary people in the outside world, in the City of Silver, he was almost at the bottom.
That's right, he couldn't afford a standard alchemy laboratory and didn't have the money to buy expensive materials to set up standard anti-explosion measures. He could only modify his home to act as a laboratory.
Ai, when would he be able to have his own alchemy laboratory …
Dormatt sighed inwardly. His earlier complacency disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What!? You can actually get your own personal alchemy laboratory!? As long as you work, the laboratory will be under your control!? "
"Heavens! Did I see wrongly?! After the annual evaluation, you can actually get a branch of the World Tree as a reward!? In other words, even I have a chance to get a magic staff made of a branch of the World Tree!? "
"Stop dreaming. It said that only those who become teachers through recruitment, then work for a year, pass the assessment, and get the title of excellent teacher in the annual evaluation can choose the reward. Do you think you have a chance?"
"Why not? Even if I can't get a branch of the World Tree, I can get a fruit of the World Tree! If I can eat a fruit of the World Tree, I can definitely break through the gold rank and become a master! "
"A branch of the World Tree, fruit, leaves, petals … Oh gods, could it be that this Tang En Majesty is an elf? How could he get so many treasures from the World Tree? "
"A while ago, I heard that the Regent of Irus, Tang En, has a very good relationship with the Elf Queen. There are now hundreds of elves residing in Ellington, and even the principal of Ellington Academy is an elf scholar. Maybe he really has some relationship with the elves. "
"In that case, these rewards are real!? Damn it! I can't take it anymore! I want to sign up! "
"If you want to sign up, you have to look at the requirements. It says that you have to be a magician of gold rank or above, and you have to have two minor specialties: alchemy and enchantment. You're only silver rank now, right? You have to continue your studies in the School of Secret Arts. "
"Damn it! Could it be that I'm just going to watch such a good opportunity pass me by?! "
"Then there's no other way …"
The discussion outside drifted in through the window, and Dormatt's eyes immediately widened.
He didn't pay much attention to the rest, and he only heard a few key words.
After being hired, you can get your own personal alchemy laboratory!
As long as you're working, the alchemy laboratory will be under your personal control!
Teachers who get the title of excellent teacher of the year can choose those rewards that make people's hearts beat faster just by hearing the names!
Damn it! I'm afraid it's too late!
Dormatt suddenly froze, then immediately rushed out of the house howling!
Since the rewards were so good and so attractive, there would definitely be many people competing for them!
When Dormatt rushed to the bulletin board, he discovered that the competition was really too fierce!
Those people were so excited that their faces and ears were red. On one hand, it was because they were stimulated by the rewards, and on the other hand, it was because they could finally walk out of the City of Silver and appear in front of the world!
Learning magic but not being able to show off in front of ordinary people, what was the difference between them and salted fish!?
There were only 100 places, but at this moment, there were thousands of magicians arguing here to sign up, and there were even grandmaster magicians!
Dormatt's heart trembled, and he desperately squeezed forward. With great difficulty, he rushed to the registration point next to the bulletin board. He raised his hands high and shouted, "I want to sign up! I'm a gold rank magician! Third rank alchemist, third rank enchanter! I completely meet the requirements for priority recruitment! "
The magician in charge of registration heard this and followed the voice to find Dormatt. "You, come over, make way!"
Dormatt struggled to push through the crowd and came to the registration point. He took out his badge and poured magic power into it, and the registered information immediately appeared.
"Dormatt, gold rank magician, qualified graduate of the School of Secret Arts. Nominal mentor is Vanessa Merka … registered third rank alchemist, third rank enchanter …"
After carefully reading the information in Dormatt's badge, the registrar smiled. "Very good, Your Excellency Dormatt, you've met the requirements and obtained the qualification for the preliminary test."
"Qualification for the preliminary test?"
Dormatt was startled. "What do you mean?"
"That means there's a second test and an interview."
The registrar explained, "Because there are too many people who signed up and this batch of teachers represents the image of the City of Silver, they must be screened. The second test is conducted by the Star and Moon Secret Arts Association, and the final interview is personally conducted by Master Jean. If you're lucky enough to pass the second test, you'll be qualified to meet Master Jean face to face."
Dormatt's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "I'll definitely be qualified!"
"Dormatt!?"
At this time, a surprised voice came from the side. Dormatt looked back and saw that it was his friend who had just come to find him.
"Didn't you say you weren't interested?"
Dormatt's old face turned red, and he straightened his neck and said, "Can't I change my mind!?"
The recruitment conditions were so good, and the treatment was so superior. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he would be a complete idiot!
As for going back on his words, it would be too embarrassing …
In front of such a huge temptation, it was nothing!
