The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

Galatea, who was inside the house, knew that Vera had gotten up. Her face turned bright red, and she hurriedly straightened her clothes with both hands. She rushed into another room with her face still flushed and slammed the door shut.

A short while later, she changed her clothes and came out.

Her hair was still a little wet, obviously from a quick wash.

Aiden realized he was Vera's nemesis. Five or six poisonous insects of varying sizes slowly appeared around him. These insects seemed to have appeared out of nowhere; some crawled on the ground, while others flew in the air, their wings beating clearly.

But these venomous insects were very clear to him, like beacons in the darkness.

Aiden frowned, shook his head, and said, "Ms. Vera, please stop harming my friends."

After he finished speaking, his body began to sway continuously, his movements were very agile, like a loach, dodging the attacks of these poisonous insects.

Some of the poisonous insects missed their target and crashed into the wall. Others collided with each other and fell to the ground.

Aiden then took a bag out of his pocket and put the poisonous insects into the bag one by one.

The movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

"Poisonous longhorn beetles, fire worms, and one-ringed earthworms—these are all poisonous creatures," Aiden thought to himself.

Looking at the poisonous insects in the bag, Vera was completely helpless. Her hands fell limply to her sides, her body trembled, and her face was full of frustration.

She never expected that her poison master skills would be defeated by this unknown commoner boy in just a few minutes.

It's important to know that a poison master's direct attack power isn't strong; their strongest attack comes from sneak attacks from different angles, often from poisonous insects.

Vera was completely baffled as to how this kid had managed to catch all the poisonous insects she had hidden so well.

Her brow furrowed, and she kept muttering, "How is this possible? How is this possible..."

"Aiden, you've got some serious skills." Bondi, seeing the several poisonous insects in Aiden's bag, grinned and laughed heartily. He shouted into the house, "Poisonous woman, you finally have your nemesis! Actually, even if Aiden hadn't come, I could have dealt with you, but I didn't want to shoot you with a neutral magic arrow. After all, we've been enemies since childhood, and if I hit you with one arrow, you'd probably have to leave here injured."

"Don't be too arrogant," Aiden frowned and whispered a reminder to Bondi.

He could also see that Vera didn't mean any harm; she just had a somewhat unusual sexual orientation.

She didn't really hurt Galatea, and this was a matter within their aristocratic circle, which Aiden didn't want to get involved in.

He only helps when his friends need a helping hand.

Galatea, inside the house, nodded, her face filled with gratitude, her eyes fixed on Aiden, her gaze full of thanks.

Aiden even felt that there was something slick about that gaze.

Recalling the somewhat revealing scene of the tall and elegant Galatea earlier, Aiden couldn't help but tremble.

"Amitabha," Aiden thought to himself, his lips twitching slightly. "Women will only slow down my cultivation."

Soon, Galatea earnestly shared her true feelings with Vera, who was standing nearby. She spread her hands, her face sincere, and warned Vera not to do it again.

As for the bet she lost, she was willing to pay magic stones or make a promise as compensation.

Vera, on the other hand, seemed completely lost. Her body trembled, her hands twisting the hem of her dress, and she nodded hesitantly.

More importantly, she began to fear Aiden's methods, and her eyes revealed panic.

"Galácticos, one day I will conquer you." Vera pouted, her panicked expression gradually returning to normal as she crossed her arms. "However, I don't think you can end this bet so easily, unless there's a different condition."

"I don't need any of those conditions you mentioned. Unless..." Galatea put her hands on her hips and raised her chin.

"Unless what?" Galatea asked, tilting her head with a puzzled look.

Bondi, standing to the side, looked displeased and shouted, "You poisonous woman, why are you making so many demands? Galatea hasn't gone back on her word; she's already been very kind to you. And you still want to negotiate other conditions? Aiden has already taken all the poisonous insects from your body, and you're still being so arrogant. Do you really expect us to fight using wizarding methods?"

"My condition is that this commoner promises never to control my poisonous insects again. If he breaks this promise, he will never become a wizard." Vera stood with her hands on her hips, chin held high, her face full of arrogance.

Galatea stared intently at Aiden with her heterochromatic eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

Aiden shrugged, spread his hands, and didn't agree.

However, seeing Galatea's pleading look, Aiden stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I can agree to that, but I have one condition: since it's a transaction, I don't seem to have received any benefit from it."

"What benefits do you want?" Vera asked, frowning.

Aiden paused for a moment, then a smile curved his lips as he asked, "Do you have any poison that can be used against high-level wizard apprentices?"

Poison masters possess two unique attack techniques: the control of poisonous insects and the preparation of poisons. Because of their exceptional poison-making skills, poison masters can also be described as miniature war machines.

Otherwise, poisonous insects that primarily rely on surprise attacks cannot be used as weapons of war.

As soon as she finished speaking, Galatea, Bondi, and Vera exchanged bewildered glances. The air around them seemed to freeze.

Since Aiden asked this question, it means he wants to deal with the high wizard apprentice.

But Aiden in front of him is clearly just a formal wizard apprentice!

Between a formal wizard apprentice and a senior wizard apprentice, there is a middle wizard apprentice.

Galatea was the first to react. She leaned forward, placed her hands on her knees, and asked, "Aiden, are you planning to deal with a high-level wizard apprentice? As far as I know, high-level wizard apprentices have at least mastered the third level of meditation and have mastered several zero-ring spells. Some of the better ones have even begun to construct first-ring magic."

"It's really too difficult for a formal wizard apprentice to deal with a senior wizard apprentice. One wrong move and you can be easily killed on the spot."

"Yes, who are you trying to target? The teachers who teach in the Forbidden Forest Basin, and those in the experimental area..."

Bondi chimed in from the side, scratching his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"High-level wizard apprentices, some of them are over a hundred years old, and their skills are far beyond what we young people who have just been promoted to formal wizard apprentices can compare to."

The unreliable Bondi continued to offer serious reminders, his usual joking demeanor replaced by a serious expression.

Vera remained silent.

She hadn't expected this commoner boy to be a madman. As a future wizard, his mind was usually dominated by rationality, and he rarely acted impulsively; otherwise, what would be the difference between him and a mortal?

Vera thought to herself, her brows furrowed tightly.

Aiden shook his head and said helplessly, spreading his hands in a resigned manner, "I just wanted to do some experiments with these poisons."

In fact, Aiden wanted to use the poisons of the Poison Master to deal with Mr. Ironbeard, but he didn't know if his method would work.

As for how to poison him and what the effects of the poison would be, he hadn't thought about it yet.

At the very least, we must take this opportunity to get our hands on the most important poison.

If you want to kill someone without anyone noticing, this poison master's methods are perfect.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, as if a heavy stone was pressing on everyone's hearts.

"You've got some nerve, Aiden. You're getting more and more awesome," Bundy grinned, patting Aiden's shoulder hard. "You almost scared me half to death. I thought you'd messed with some high-ranking wizard apprentice. I'd be the first one to run away."

Although Bondi said that, he still looked very worried. His brows were furrowed and his eyes revealed his anxiety.

"If you want to deal with a high-ranking wizard apprentice, I will help you," Galatea said, biting her lip. Her hands were clenched tightly together, her nails turning white.
