The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

Anne then grabbed Iseli's hand and said coquettishly, "Senior Sister Iseli, how about this, you can take Aiden into the lab to help out, and he can also be your lab assistant."

As she spoke, she shook Iseli's arm vigorously.

Anne knew that Aiden came from a small town, had no family background or connections, and wasn't particularly talented, but he always seemed to possess some unexpected abilities.

This made her think Aiden was amazing, and she also had some thoughts of wanting to help him.

Moreover, she was quite annoyed by Garrosh's stingy manner, so she wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes at him.

Aiden is much more suitable to be the lab assistant than that petty Garrosh. You know, this is a rare and lucrative job in Runeterra!

Anne didn't expect Aiden to become a wand maker; earning some magic stones would be great.

Aiden's eyes lit up.

Senior Sister Annie is so thoughtful!

Garrosh, getting impatient, quickly interjected, "Junior Sister Annie, if you don't know the structure of our lab, don't talk nonsense."

His face turned bright red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Usually, Senior Sister Iseli is very particular about quiet, so the fewer people in the lab, the better."

"Furthermore, the Wand Association has a rule that a wandmaker can only bring one assistant at a time. What's more, you need talent to be an assistant. If you don't have talent, you're just wasting Senior Sister Isely's energy." As he spoke, he pointed around with his fingers, as if emphasizing something.

"Is there such a rule?" Aiden wondered to himself, tilting his head with a puzzled look on his face.

Senior Sister Iseli frowned and said calmly, "Rules are rules, but people are flexible. Garrosh, will you report this to the Wand Guild?"

Her voice was icy cold.

The three of them, including Aiden, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Of course not, Senior Sister Iselly." Garrosh's body trembled violently, and cold sweat streamed down his brow.

He kept rubbing his hands together, looking very flustered.

"So, Aiden, are you interested in working in my lab?" Senior Sister Iseli looked up at him with a gentle smile.

Without a second thought, Aiden looked at his senior sister, who resembled a little girl, and nodded vigorously, saying, "Of course, Senior Sister Iseli."

His face was full of excitement, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Then let's sign the contract. Just come and report to me within three months." Senior Sister Iseli nodded in satisfaction. She took out a parchment scroll from the drawer, placed it on the table, and tapped it lightly with her fingers.

"In addition, you will receive 50 magic stones as a reward each month."

"No problem," Aiden said with a grin, his eyes sparkling as if he could already see the magic stones beckoning to him.

"Having more skills is never a bad thing; knowledge determines everything!" Aiden thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Garrosh nearly lost his balance. He swayed a few times before quickly grabbing a chair next to him for support.

The reward of 50 magic stones a month is more than what he earned.

He only earns 30 magic stones a month.

His monthly income was extremely comfortable compared to the rest of Rune Courtyard, but he never expected that Senior Sister Iseli would be so generous.

Damn Aiden!

But Garrosh dared not speak again, otherwise it would be too ungrateful of him.

The senior sister Iselly in front of me is not only a one-star wand maker, but also a one-ring wizard.

He lowered his head, his hands hung at his sides, and his body trembled.

Soon, Aiden and Annie bid farewell to their senior sister, Iseli.

Watching Aiden's retreating figure, Senior Sister Iseli thought to herself, "This guy's got some skills. If his earlier article in the Wizarding Daily is confirmed, then he's a really promising talent."

Only she knew how difficult it was for a wizard apprentice to actually publish an article in the Wizarding Daily.

Even with her talent, it took her many years of effort and numerous revisions before the final product was finally unveiled.

She sighed softly, turned around, and went back to the laboratory.

Below the wizard's tower, there was an open space with neat stone slabs on the ground, some of which were covered with moss.

"Junior Brother Aiden, let's part ways here. I've had a very enjoyable time with you these past two days. Remember to pick up the meditation method tomorrow." Annie waved her hand and said with a smile, her smile as radiant as a spring flower.

"Me too, thank you for taking care of me, Senior Sister Annie." Aiden looked at the fair-skinned, warm, beautiful and kind-hearted senior sister in front of him and felt very grateful.

He bowed, a sincere smile on his face.

Soon, the two parted ways.

Aiden also started wandering around the Rune Courtyard by himself, familiarizing himself with the general layout.

He discovered that, apart from the rooms of the wizard apprentices near the wizard tower, there were some families that looked like ordinary people further away.

The houses were arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern, with wisps of smoke rising from their rooftops.

He had previously learned from Anne that these were places where family members of former wizarding organizations lived, or where wizarding apprentices who had not yet broken through to become formal wizards by the age of 60.

He shook his head slightly, muttering, "It's really cruel. Becoming a full-fledged wizard before the age of 60 is quite difficult."

As night deepened, all around was quiet, save for the occasional chirping of insects.

Aiden then returned to his room.

He reached into his pocket, indicating that Xiaodie could come out.

The little butterfly fluttered its wings and slowly floated to his shoulder, creating a slight breeze as it flapped its wings: "Daddy, I was suffocating!"

Her voice was sweet and lovely.

"There's nothing I can do. There are official wizards here, so you'd better not wander around outside easily," Aiden said, shaking his head as he gently patted Little Butterfly's wings.

"Tomorrow, the first thing I need to do is submit an article to the Wizarding Daily, and the second is to obtain the meditation method and learn runic literature," Aiden muttered to himself, squatting by the bed in the room.

"The days ahead are going to be busy." Aiden stood up and stretched.

Although busy, Aiden was excited because he suddenly had something to strive for.

……

Early the next morning, with a light mist still lingering outside the window, Aiden hurriedly went out.

He jogged along, asking several familiar wizard apprentices for the address to receive the meditation technique, and then hurried off there.

Perhaps because he was the only newcomer in recent years, Aiden's arrival attracted the attention of many wizarding apprentices. Generally, everyone was quite enthusiastic about him.

Soon, Aiden arrived at a teaching building.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door of one of the rooms labeled "Newcomer Registration Area".

Aiden knocked for a while before a voice came from inside: "Please come in."

The voice carried a hint of languor.

(ps.)

1. Thank you so much for the monthly votes, everyone!

2. There is one major revision: the wood attribute has been changed to the earth attribute. This does not affect readability. (The six basic elements—light, darkness, earth, fire, wind, and water)

3. This is the author's first time writing a book, so they wrote whatever came to mind, resulting in less focus on the main plot in the early stages and spending too much time in the Forbidden Forest, which affected the reading experience. Currently, six professions have been introduced (three main professions: Wizard, Archer, and Runemaster; three sub-professions: Wand Maker, Biologist, and Woodcraft Inventor). The protagonist will use these six professions as a foundation to explore the wizarding world and directly advance the main plot.

4. Although the book didn't achieve great success and didn't have many readers, I'm still very content that some readers follow it daily and offer feedback. It shows that there are still some readers who appreciate it, and I will continue writing. Thank you so much!
