The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

"We must bring honor to our continent of Orellania in the future. But it's strange, our continent of Orellania hasn't been taken over by the Wizarding World yet."

"Otherwise, why would you wizard seeds need to be guided using a wizard ship, a method whose course is easily locked?"

Aiden smiled gratefully at Sir Richard, revealing his neat teeth, and said, "I will."

"By the way, Lord Richard, may I ask who locked onto the wizard ship? Isn't this a complete falling out with the wizarding world?" Aiden asked curiously.

"You'll see when you become a full-fledged wizard. Good luck, kid. There are many rivals in the wizarding world, far more than you can imagine."

"I will definitely work hard."

Sir Richard nodded, a hint of approval on his face, and said, "Your backup has arrived."

Beside the ship, a young witch appeared riding a magic broom. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were as bright as stars twinkling in the night sky.

She sat steadily on the magic broom, which swayed, creating a small gust of wind that ruffled a few strands of hair by her ear.

She beckoned to Aiden and handed him a magic broom, gesturing for him to sit on it.

Aiden paused, his eyes widening, then leaped up.

The magic broom shook violently, making a "buzzing" sound, and Aiden swayed from side to side on it, flying off unsteadily.

The magic wand swept across the sea, creating a trail of tiny splashes.

Watching Aiden's departing figure, Sir Richard nodded slightly and muttered to himself, "That lad isn't bad; he has a good temperament, but his mental strength is a bit weak. And his choice of the Rune Courtyard was a bit of a gamble."

"The wizarding world is cruel. The decline of a school of thought has many causes. The Ancient Studies school has lingered on for so many years, but who knows when it will finally come to an end."

Soon, Sir Richard forgot about Aiden and turned back to escorting the rest of the wizarding seeds.

……

At this moment, on the sea.

The sea breeze howled, making Aiden's hair all ruffled. He was used to riding his flying broomstick, and this was his first time flying in the sky, so he was quite surprised, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Wizards are so much fun. They made humankind's dream of flight a reality with just a broom," Aiden thought to himself, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

Beside him, Annie, the fair-skinned senior student, tilted her head and looked at Aiden with curiosity.

Since no newcomers had come to their Rune Courtyard before, she was quite curious about this unexpected newcomer.

"This new guy is quite handsome, very good-looking," Annie thought to herself, a faint blush rising on her face.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm your senior, Annie, a mid-level wizard apprentice," Annie said with a smile.

"Hello, senior sister. My name is Aiden, and I come from the continent of Aurelius." Aiden introduced himself with a smile.

He sensed a kind of naivety in Anne.

"The continent of Aurelius? Never heard of it. But anyway, it's a great joy that you're willing to come to our Rune Courtyard," Annie said with a smile, her eyes narrowing into slits.

Aiden raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Senior Sister Annie, is it possible that very few people come to our Rune Courtyard?"

"Yeah, you're the first one in the last five years. The last guy who came didn't even stay for six months before he ran away," Annie said, shrugging helplessly and spreading her hands.

Upon hearing this, Aiden's face darkened, his lips curled into a sneer, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, this place sounds like a total rip-off!!"

"Although our Rune Courtyard isn't famous, the atmosphere within the organization is still very good. You don't need to worry about anyone bullying you. If anyone does, just call me," Annie said to Aiden with a smile.

Aiden nodded.

However, he wasn't entirely convinced. He figured he'd have to stay there to find out what kind of organization it was, and his eyes held a wary look.

"How much was your initial mental strength? Let me record it," Annie asked.

"0.6," Aiden answered honestly.

Anne: "..."

"Who cares! Anyone will do. We at Rune Courtyard aren't picky anyway."

In Anne's mind, Aiden was already marked as a cannon fodder wizard seed with no hope of advancing to become a formal wizard.

"By the way, senior sister, can you tell me about the benefits of our organization?" Aiden asked, showing great interest.

"No problem, I'll tell you all about it," Annie said with a smile, clearing her throat. "Our Rune House is located in the southern part of District 147, on a large island, surrounded by a dense island forest. There are four official wizards in the organization. Among them, Dean Mephisto is a veteran first-ring wizard. There are also two ordinary first-ring wizards and a newly promoted first-ring wizard, Lady Iseli, whose strength is quite good."

"Not only that, Lady Iseli is also a one-star wand maker, capable of crafting all sorts of wands. She's also my senior. You know, in our entire District 147, the number of wand makers is far fewer than the number of full-fledged wizards, making them even rarer. We also get some discounts when buying wands, which is a hidden perk."

Aiden nodded. Wand maker sounded like a lucrative profession, and he was somewhat tempted, his fingers unconsciously rubbing together.

On the previous ship, Sir Richard explained to him the importance of resources.

It can be said that the rise of a wizard is inseparable from the accumulation of resources.

Without resources, even the most talented person cannot grow.

Seeing Aiden's somewhat satisfied expression, Annie gave a light snort, raised her chin, and continued, "Besides the first-ring wizards, there are also 200 wizard apprentices who are currently studying within the organization. Although the number is small, everyone is quite united."

"There are indeed too few people." Aiden frowned and shook his head as he spoke. "Logically speaking, a first-ring organization should have at least a thousand wizard seeds as fresh blood. It would be remarkable if two or three formal wizards could emerge from among these thousand people."

"If there are only 200 people, I'm afraid not even a single formal wizard can be produced. Too many people will lead to fierce competition, while too few people will make us vulnerable to being bullied."

Seeing Aiden frown, Annie felt a little annoyed. She pouted and quickly added, "Although we are outnumbered, our combat strength is still quite good. We also have a perk: our Rune Courtyard's exclusive rune courses."

"Rune course?" Aiden's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward, asking curiously.

"Yes, that's where our Rune Courtyard comes from," Annie nodded and said.

As if afraid that Aiden would look down on Rune Courtyard, Annie suddenly stopped her flying broom, abruptly pulled up her robe, revealing a section of her fair calf.

A peculiar pattern was engraved on it, emitting a faint pale blue light.

She looked at the pattern with pride and said to Aiden, "These are runes."

Aiden stared at the pale blue light, unable to look away.

His head seemed frozen in place, completely still, because a line of text appeared in his mind.

"Main class discovered: Rune Inscriber (Epic), Resolution (5%)"

The arrow pointed directly at the seemingly inconspicuous pale blue light pattern.

[Rune Inscriber]

【Job Level: ★★☆】

Resolution: 5%

[Core Capabilities: Simple Rune Repair, Single-Layer Rune Imprinting...]

[Special Talent: ? ?]

[Advanced Path: Steelbone Runemaster ★★★]

Aiden's heart skipped a beat, and his body trembled as he thought to himself, "Another main class, and an epic one at that."
