Good news never leaves the house.

Bad news can travel a long way in a blink.

Although this can’t be considered bad news, it’s definitely not good either.

The news spread at different rates at different levels.

Those who received the news knew the general situation of the incident in a short time.

No sooner had Link walked out of the Law Enforcement Department of the college than he received a summons from Wizard Palo.

He went upstairs immediately and soon arrived at the “Thesis” review office on the fifth floor. After knocking and waiting for a bit, he walked in.

When the relationship wasn’t intimate enough, it’s best to wait for permission from the higher-ups after knocking before entering their office.

If the relationship is just right or a little inadequate, depending on the situation, one can choose to either wait for permission or just walk right in after knocking.

Each person and occasion is unique, and choices should be flexible in response to different styles and personalities.

Whenever Link came over before, he had seen the door to Wizard Palo’s office wide open. So this time, to be less formal and constrained, he chose to walk in directly after knocking.

As expected, Wizard Palo didn’t demand ceremonious respect or absolute obedience from his subordinates.

“Sit.”

Pointing to the chair in front of the desk with his eyes, Wizard Palo cut to the chase and asked directly, “Everything taken care of?”

Wow, what on earth?

Just here and we’re jumping into serious questions?

Do all the official wizards who work at the Junior Division know that I have killed Harold Andrews?

As he sat in the chair, Link inwardly complained.

Of course, he dare not leave Wizard Palo hanging and responded immediately, “All done, including what should and shouldn’t have been done.”

This sentence was the epitome of saying enough but not too much.

Responding to Wizard Palo without giving anyone any ammunition to use against him.

“Good, that’s a relief.”

Wizard Palo nodded in satisfaction, then shared a piece of information Link had no way of knowing,

“I even had a bet with some close friends whether you would be able to solve this problem during the holiday and at what point you would solve it.” Hearing this, Link was quite surprised and his line of thought began to diverge. So Wizard Palo likes paying attention to the rumors and gossip on the “forum”? And he even bet on those?

Such good taste in entertainment you have in that circle.

Link complained inwardly as a way to alleviate the involuntary pressure he felt in the presence of Wizard Palo.

However, since the big shot had started the conversation, he shouldn’t leave him hanging.

Link jumped in and asked, “Were the results to Wizard Palo and your friends’ satisfaction?”

“Haha…”

A rare smile appeared on Wizard Palo’s face. He waved his hand and laughed, “They all thought you would solve the problem only in the middle or later part of the holiday. Only I was sure you would get it done in the very beginning.” “Thank you for your confidence, Wizard Palo!”

Link immediately replied solemnly, “I am also very relieved that I didn’t disappoint Wizard Palo.”

Even though Wizard Palo knew Link was flattering him, he couldn’t help but feel a little pleased.

Who doesn’t love to hear compliments, right?

After laughing for a while, Wizard Palo reined in the smile on his face and began to discuss why he had summoned Link, asking, “Did you have any plans for going to Ravensmouth City on the first day of the holiday?”

Having already invested and seeing that the invested party had shown characteristics worth additional investment, Wizard Palo, of course, didn’t hesitate to further strengthen his investment.

To him, it was only a drop in the bucket but for Link Grande, it was as heavy as a feather.

Link answered honestly, “I plan to find a part-time job in the city while I also familiarize myself with the outside world. I can’t always stay in college.”

“A part-time job?”

Wizard Palo thought for a moment then said, “I do know a few places looking for part-time jobs, but I’m not sure what area you want to develop in.” “I have been studying potions by myself recently. If it’s not a bother to you Palo…”

Link would not waste a great opportunity and let benefits pass him by. So he made a position, “I want to try to find a part-time job related to Potion Study.” “Potion Study related?”

Wizard Palo murmured and started to think.

After a moment he had a result and said, “I have a good friend. The college has arranged for her to teach an “Alchemy Pharmacy” class for third years in the North District, but she quit. She recently opened a potion shop in the East District and is looking for either regular or part-time staff. If you’re confident and competent for the job, you can try.”

“Thank you Wizard Palo!”

Link was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

There were early rumors on the “forum” that it was very hard for a first year Storm Sea New Blood to find a suitable part-time job in Ravensmouth City. The business owners, bosses, operators, they all couldn’t trust your level of knowledge and professional skills.

Your time spent studying falls short, your hands-on skills can’t keep up with work demands, etc. These are all common problems for first year Storm Sea New Bloods.

Even if Link claimed to be number one in his grade, it would be of no use.

In the end, he may end up with no choice but to be a pack-mule or a meal delivery which requires zero technical skills and can be easily replaced by Intelligent Puppets.

“No need to thank me in a hurry.”

Wizard Palo waved his hand, downplaying it and said, “Whether you can get the job or not still depends on your abilities and whether you can impress the Serene Wizard.”

This is more than enough, thank you so much.”

Link didn’t care about anything else, he just kept saying thanks.

When someone at high rank is humble and courteous with you, you shouldn’t

take that as gospel and base your actions on it.

Even if they sincerely think that way, you shouldn’t.

You need to have a sense of things in your heart, right?

“Alright, let’s leave it at this.”

After Wizard Palo finished his main business and added extra investment, he did not insist on keeping Link Grande around and flatter him.

Link took his leave, getting up to go as decorum dictated.

As he reached the door, Wizard Palo, like the last time, threw out a sentence with his profound aura, “Your battle talent isn’t half bad, don’t waste it.”

After leaving the Administrative Building, the smile on Link’s face gradually faded, feeling his back to be damp with sweat, just like the last time.

Those final words really made Link jump out of his skin.

He was being watched!

After taking a few deep breaths to soothe himself, Link headed towards the dormitories.

From afar, Link spotted a familiar figure.

It was Jasmine Kidman.

The girl was sitting on the lawn in front of the dormitory, her arms wrapped around her knees, her head tilted, resting on the back of her right hand which was resting on her left arm, staring in the direction of the college gate.

Link walked over briskly and tapped Jasmine’s head lightly and asked, “Why are you sitting here? When did you get here?”

“Ah!”

Startled by Link’s voice, Jasmine sprang up and excitedly yelled, “You’re back!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she might have sprung up too fast and landed too hard which stimulated her stomach, resulting in a growling sound from Jasmine’s stomach.

That surely was a bit awkward.

“Why’d you just come back?”

Jasmine’s face instantly turned red. Rubbing her stomach with her right hand, she complained,

“I’m starving to death!”
