The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

The wizard Leon said to the map, "The coordinates in the center of this map are the coordinates of that island. There's some mist surrounding it, so it's very well hidden. As for this key, it's the key to the island's underground palace. To be on the safe side and to avoid being disturbed while cultivating, I've also set up a defensive magic circle on it. You need the key to enter. In short, it's a very good place. I've spent several years building it, and I'm handing it all over to you."

Aiden licked his slightly dry lips, took the key, weighed it in his hand, and felt much more at ease.

He gripped the keys tightly, stuffed them into his pocket, and grinned, saying, "This island must be quite nice!"

"Then I need to pack my things and move there as soon as possible. I should tell Dean Mephisto and Senior Sister Iseli," Aiden muttered to himself.

"Yes, I will also inform the Dean about the rune matter," Wizard Leon nodded.

That's all he could do for Aiden.

He still has a lot of enemies in his original organization.

Thinking of this, Lyon frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

……

One day later, in Iseley's wizard tower.

The tower was filled with a faint fragrance that was invigorating.

"Good disciple, it's only been a month since we last met, and not only are you always taking leave, but now you're telling me you want to leave the organization and find an island to cultivate on your own?"

Senior Sister Iseli changed into a pink Lolita outfit, stared at Aiden with wide eyes, her hands on her hips, the pink skirt swaying gently with her movements.

Her expression was a mix of anger and amusement, with her lips twitching.

"yes……"

Aiden felt a little guilty and looked away, not daring to meet Iseley's gaze.

"Man proposes, God disposes," Aiden said with a smile, looking helpless.

He had already briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"However, since you've encountered karma, you have to get through it on your own. It's probably a good idea to hide away for now."

Senior Sister Iseli rolled her eyes at Aiden, her tone softening as she reached out to tidy up the stray hairs by her ear.

"We wizards pursue truth, and we must sever our own ties to karma. There's not much I can do to help you. However, from now on, increase your monthly wand orders by 1%, and come to me regularly to report on your learning progress."

"Did you hear that?" Senior Sister Iseli continued, pointing her finger at Levi's forehead.

"No problem." Aiden nodded.

"My wand-making apprentice's skill level has already reached around 35%. In a few more years, breaking through to become a one-star wand maker shouldn't be a problem," Aiden thought to himself, unconsciously clenching his fist.

"However, Dean Mephisto may not necessarily approve your application for off-campus residence," Senior Sister Iseli said after a moment of silence.

"Huh? Why?" Aiden was dumbfounded.

He never expected that the Dean would actually try to stop him.

"It's probably the stubbornness of an old person. After all, you're still a newcomer, and there's no precedent for this in Rune Courtyard," Senior Sister Iseli replied, spreading her hands as if there was nothing she could do.

"However, you should try talking to him yourself."

"Okay." Aiden was a little surprised, his shoulders slumped, and he looked like he had deflated.

"Well, I can't speak up for you on that, after all, he's the dean."

Senior Sister Iseli shrugged, and the sleeve of her Lolita outfit slid down a bit, revealing a small section of her wrist.

Aiden frowned and couldn't help but pick up the water glass on the table and take a sip.

"This is my water." Senior Sister Iseli rolled her eyes at Aiden.

"Senior sister, it's delicious." Aiden said with a smile, without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Never mind, but the Dean might try to negotiate with you. After all, you're my disciple, and you've been featured in the Wizarding Daily before, so your presence in the organization is quite special," Senior Sister Iseli said with a smile, her lips curving upwards and her eyes narrowing into crescents.

"No problem, let's not delay, I'll go give it a try."

Aiden nodded.

Soon, he mounted his magic broom, jumped down from Itheli's wizard tower, and flew towards Dean Mephisto's wizard tower in the center.

……

At this moment, outside Dean Mephisto's wizard tower, Aiden stood with a conflicted expression, hovering in front of the tower gate on his magical broom.

This tower is more than twice as tall as Senior Sister Iseli's.

He took a deep breath and gently knocked on the heavy wooden door.

"Please come in." Dean Mephisto's voice came from inside the door, making the door panel tremble.

Aiden nodded, pushed open the door, and went inside.

The wooden elevator creaked as it moved upwards.

You can hear the sound of gears meshing on each floor, clanging and clattering, at a very slow pace.

"I'll find some time to upgrade my Carpentry Assistant profession. Then I can build these wooden elevators too," Aiden muttered to himself.

It eventually stopped at the top floor.

He stepped out of the elevator and went to Dean Mephisto's office.

Dean Mephisto was sitting in his office chair, writing furiously. In the center of the room was a large black walnut wooden table, with many scrolls in ancient script placed around it.

Dean Mephisto adjusted his glasses, looked at Aiden, and said with a smile, "It's you, kid. What brings you to this old man?"

He tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table.

Dean Mephisto took a very good liking to Aiden and regarded him as the future hope of Runeterra.

Therefore, his attitude towards Aiden was not like that of a veteran first-ring wizard towards a wizarding apprentice, but rather like that of an elder caring for a junior.

Aiden stood at the door, smiled sheepishly, and said, "I've been very busy lately, but I always make sure to visit you, Dean."

Dean Mephisto leaned back in his chair, raising his eyebrows.

"I'm not old. With my lifespan, I could easily live for several thousand more years. But if I could break through to the second-circle wizard level, I could live even longer. Alright, you must have something on your mind, just tell me directly. Thanks to you, several old friends of mine came to congratulate me on your appearance in the Wizarding Daily." Dean Mephisto glanced at Aiden and said with a smile.

As he spoke, a magic wand appeared in his hand, and he pointed to his table. A pot of tea slowly floated to Aiden's side, gesturing for him to sit down.

The white teapot rested steadily on the table in front of Aiden, with wisps of steam rising from its spout, and the tea was amber in color.

"This is amber tea, brewed from a specialty tea from a sub-dimensional plane. Ordinary people are not qualified to finish this tea."

Aiden took a sip of tea, paused, and said with a smile, "Delicious! I came here today mainly to ask you, Dean, if I can stay outside, I don't want to stay on this island anymore."

Dean Mephisto's smile faded, his fingers hovering over the temple of his glasses, and he remained silent for a long time.

He pushed up his glasses and asked with a curious look, "What's the reason? Aiden, you're a newcomer. Generally speaking, you have to train in the organization's territory."

Aiden lowered his head and spoke softly as he recounted the troubles he had encountered earlier.

Dean Mephisto remained silent.

"You mean, you don't feel safe enough in Rune Courtyard?" Dean Mephisto waved his hand and said.
