Chapter 10 Part-time Job



Another three days passed, and Suli, who had been staying at home for nearly twenty days, finally found a job that was suitable for him.

The librarian of Asa Elemental Academy.

Due to the recent chaos in Sadina, the administrator who was originally in charge of the library of the Asa Elemental Academy was involved in the battles in every corner of the city during his off-duty hours and is currently recuperating with pay.

A completely neutral organization like the Element Academy will not be attacked in this chaos, but will be intentionally maintained. After all, no one can be sure that their family and friends will not enter the Element Academy in the future.

So after receiving a response to his resume, Sully decisively changed into his newest clothes.

He adjusted his collar in front of the mirror. In the past twenty days, he had grown taller due to adequate nutrition. His thin face was no longer skinny due to the passage of time, but full of youthful spirit.

Egbert, who was standing at the side, was worried: "You yourself said three days ago that you would not leave this little house easily."

"Of course." Suli affirmed this point, "As long as this place can still be called my home, I will never leave easily."

Sully, who is 30 years old in soul, knows that he is terrible, but his terribleness is only that of "slacking off at work", "working while paid", "never working overtime for a second" and even "must have two days off a week".

This definitely does not include being a jerk.

Judging from the age of his soul, Egbert was seven years younger than him.

To round it off, when the other person was still a primary school student, Sully was already preparing for an internship.

Thinking of his previous promise to pay Egbert back, Sully blurted out: "If a person can't even remember what he said, what else can he remember?"

Egbert had recently become accustomed to recording Sully's "classic quotes", so when he took out a pen and paper to record them, his attention was completely diverted to whether Sully was telling him something again, something that he could not accurately understand for the time being.

Cyril looked at the incompetent Son of God with dismay.

He said to Suli in a stern tone, "Don't be so pretentious. You know, Brother Egg just wants to say that it's not suitable to go out to work in such a mixed environment, especially since you are only twelve years old!"

"Assuming begging is a profession, rounding it off, we have been doing it for ten years." Su Li raised his eyebrows, just like he had chatted with a friend in modern society who was familiar with the scale of his work.

At that time, he said to his friends: "I work so hard, of course, so that when I submit my resume next time, I can tell my boss that I have twelve years of work experience."

Although after the four-year-long 007 ended, Sully went directly to a small border town to buy a house, raise a cat, collect social security, and become a salted fish.

Now Suli can say with certainty: "Ten years of experience as a beggar is not something that ordinary people can have."

Cyril said angrily, "After all, you have to go out to work, right?"

Suli nodded decisively: "If given the choice, beggars also need to change their jobs."

"Except for the 'professions' of salted fish and rotten people, I can never think of doing any other profession for the rest of my life."

"Also, the premise of living off the mountain is that you need to have a mountain."

Suli threw up his hands regretfully: "I don't want to work either, but who has kept me from being so bad that I can just ask my friends for money?"

Egbert wanted to give Sully his wallet more than once.

Such a friend's attempt to hand over his bank card to him would only make Sully shudder. But fortunately, the other party's feelings for him were just an inexplicable fanatical worship, and there was nothing superfluous.

Even if it was just to stop Egbert from giving him money, Sully had to find a suitable job.

Seeing that he could not persuade Sully, Cyril stopped his futile act.

"I can't stop you, but Sully." Cyril stared at Sully with her azure eyes. The only figure reflected in her pupils was Sully.

His tone was more serious and firm than ever before.

“You must know your own importance.”

as well as……

"Please protect yourself."

Cyril's excessive seriousness made Sully sigh involuntarily.

Egbert usually always said something strange like Euphia, which he couldn't quite understand, but in Sully's eyes, Cyril was always a real child who could be seen through at a glance.

Ever since Sully dragged Cyril to this city by Egbert, Cyril's world has been filled with Sully.

If Sully died suddenly one day, it would be like the world falling apart for Cyril.

What else can I do?

Sully had messed up his hair, which he had done carefully to style it neatly for the interview.

"I will." His tone, which was usually associated with laziness, still remained in this state.

But when Cyril combined this with what Sully had said not long ago, she realized that Sully would definitely protect herself.

Not far from the small building, the stone-paved road was filled with a pool of blood that had never been cleaned up.

That was the blood that flowed from the two mercenaries who came to attack the small villa not long ago and hit each other's heads.

For someone like Suli, whose worst injury was just a mosquito bite that caused bleeding, this was truly horrific.

But as adults, it is inevitable to show off.

Sully remained calm and avoided the red mark.

The map of Sadina City was also backed up inside the small villa, so even though it was his first time walking on a road he had never been on before, Suli, who had a good sense of direction, quickly found his destination.

Asa Academy lived up to its name as an elemental school. Four frightening statues stood on both sides of the iron gate.

The pure white ball and the pure black ball represent the elements of light and darkness. The others are a ball of red stone that looks like flames, and a large water ball that is supported by some unknown device.

The wind element is straightforward. There is no statue, but it still has a base. There is even a plaque on it that reads: The wind element used by humans is never the real wind in nature.

It has the flavor of a Western fantasy world.

"Sully, huh? Over here."

It was time for class, and in order to prevent Sully from getting lost and going somewhere he shouldn't go, Asa's dean made a special trip to pick him up.

When Sully saw the back of the man with silver hair and wearing a magic robe, his heart sank.

——This is certainly not because he thought of something profound.

But...

How high can the salary be for a job that is personally interviewed by the CEO?

Shaking off the heavy thoughts in his mind, Dean Asa took the initiative to talk to Suli.

“The work in the library is not difficult. On weekdays, all I have to do is to quickly find the books that students need to borrow.”

"However, since you cannot use elements, your speed in finding books will inevitably be slower than that of the previous administrator. If any students say something inappropriate during this process, please bear with me."

When Suli heard the words "Duoduo" ("I don't have morals"), he said without thinking, "I have no morals."

Dean Asa's mind went blank for a moment.

"I mean, I have no morals, so you can't hold me hostage with morality."

Suli said frankly: "I came here just to find a job that suits me, not to be a trash can for other people's garbage emotions."

"If I have to work part-time as a trash can, then the salary of a librarian alone is definitely not enough to impress me."

“That’s another price.”

Dean Asa paused, and Suli, who had been keeping a distance of one meter from the other party, also stopped for a moment.

A thief who knows how to kill.

The gray-haired old man pulled his beard to hide the unnatural twitching of his mouth.

By the time the other person turned around, Sully was already prepared to be driven away, and had even planned his route home in his mind.

As a result, the other party just cracked a smile and looked a bit pernicious.

"So how much salary do you think is necessary?"

"Are you quoting your own price?" Sully raised his eyebrows.

Suli was not polite about being handed over the initiative: "How about 10,000 gold coins per hour?"

"You are such a joker." Dean Asa could not maintain his weird smile.

Sully shrugged his shoulders and didn't say that it was you who made the joke first.

The old man probably had never met someone like Suli who was not willing to be tactful. He turned around and walked towards the library, and his tone became much more straightforward: "The monthly salary is ten gold coins. The academy does not provide food and accommodation, but there is a cafeteria, and you can buy meals at your own expense."

"During this period, if any student unilaterally harms you with words or force, you can report the incident to the academy at any time, and I will give the student the corresponding punishment. Of course, I don't think that you can hire someone who can beat and scold you at will for ten gold coins, so you still have room to play as you please."

"Does this mean I passed the interview?" Sully blinked.

"Of course."

Dean Asa stopped in front of the building that was not much different from the current social church, and took out a golden key from his collar and placed it in front of Suli.

Afterwards, he seemed to be planning to turn around and leave.

As a result, just after he took two steps in the other direction, Dean Asa turned around again, and his kind face, which was only vaguely visible at this moment, said something that made Sully blink his eyelashes involuntarily several times.

"Zero element affinity is not trash as the weak say, but a miracle that ordinary people cannot understand."

Dean Asa was acquainted with Euphia's father, who had mentioned Sully to him during their last conversation.

This world is made up of elements. Just nine words explain the essence of this world.

Then from another perspective, an existence with zero elemental affinity can not only be said to be rejected by this world, but it can also be said that Suli unilaterally denied this world.

——In this world made up of elements, there lives a person whose trend is opposite to that of the elements.

Sully must have his own special qualities. Dean Asa learned this concept from Euphia's father, and after meeting him in person, he felt that this idea was correct.

Neither humble nor overbearing, having his own identity, and not being defined by the world, all these can be used to describe this young man. Dean Asa could not see any self-denial or resentment towards the world from Suli.

Sully didn't care about his elemental affinity being zero as much as he did when the key to the library was placed in his hand.

Sully: What else? This is a job that pays NT$100,000 a month!
