Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 480 Jerry's House Buying Story (Second Update)

"Why do they both look a little malicious with their smiles?"

Seeing Makarov and the young man laughing so happily, Lucy whispered a complaint to Mirajane beside her.

She wasn't envious of Jerry becoming a guild employee right away, since her dream was to become a mage in Fairy Tail and take on quests and adventures.

If she becomes a guild employee, what difference is there between that and being locked at home by her father?

Meanwhile, the mages in the hall, noticing that the tables and chairs had been restored to their original state by Jerry's magic, also gathered around curiously.

Upon learning that Jerry's magic was the lost magic Arc of Time, everyone gasped in surprise.

However, upon learning that Jerry had become a guild employee and would help them solve the problem of constantly damaging public property, they happily celebrated.

And so, amidst the joyful atmosphere of the entire guild, Jerry and Lucy were both stamped with the Fairy Tail guild's exclusive crest by Mirajane.

After becoming a full-fledged Fairy Tail mage, Jerry did not stay in the guild for long like Lucy. Instead, he left the guild first, citing the need to familiarize himself with the environment.

Since they're going to stay in this guild for a long time, they definitely need a fixed place to live. As Mirajane just mentioned, most of the mages in the guild rent houses in Magnolia City, while some with good incomes have already bought houses.

Therefore, he also plans to buy a house near the guild to live in.

Of course, buying a house is secondary; the most important thing is to browse through the magic shops in the city and see if you can buy magic books and some good magic items.

Magnolia City, as the largest magical commercial capital in the Kingdom of Fiore, boasts the most magical shops and the most comprehensive selection of magical items.

The original plan was to choose this city as the first stop, not primarily because of the Fairy Tail guild, but because of the city's reputation as a magical commercial capital.

"Does the guild have mages this young?"

Just as Jerry left the guild gate, he saw a child push open the door and walk into the guild. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, just sighed, and continued his shopping plan.

Following Mirajane's instructions, he first found the real estate agency hall on the east side, and then revealed his identity as a new Fairy Tail mage.

Soon, a sweet-looking staff member came forward to greet him.

As the strongest mage guild in the kingdom, and the only mage guild in this magical commercial capital, Fairy Tail's mage status still holds some value in this city.

"Sir Mage, what are your requirements for the housing you wish to purchase?"

The female staff member asked with a smile.

Jerry thought for a moment and said:

"No special requirements, just need to be close to the guild!"

The type of house doesn't matter; he'll modify it anyway once he gets it. As long as it's close to the guild, it'll be convenient for him to ask the guild leader for magic advice. The guild leader promised to guide him in magic, so of course he'll make the most of it.

Actually, with his spatial magic, it doesn't matter if the house is a bit far away, but it's not good if the guild members need to find him.

"Uh... okay!"

Although the female staff member was somewhat surprised that Jerry's request was so simple, after all, buying a house in the magical commercial capital was no small matter for a mage, especially since the other party was a rookie mage, she still clapped her hands and began to cast her magic.

Suddenly, a magic circle appeared quickly in the female staff member's hand, and then houses that met Jerry's requirements appeared before his eyes.

"No wonder this is a magical commercial capital; even a real estate agent knows a thing or two about magic!"

Seeing this, Jerry couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

You should know that he had traveled all over the port city of Harugeon and had not seen a single ordinary person who could use magic.

In fact, this is not surprising. In a city like this, it is not too difficult to buy a magic book and learn some simple magic.

Therefore, in most cities, there are quite a few ordinary people who know magic, but only a few who can actually use magic in combat and become guild mages.

While being a mage is a lucrative profession, it is also extremely dangerous, as one could easily lose their life during a mission. Not everyone is willing to do it.

Many ordinary people learn magic simply to make their lives and work easier.

Like the female real estate agent in front of you, the illusion magic she learned was only to make it easier for clients to see the detailed information about the houses in the lobby, so they don't have to go to each house in person. This saves time and greatly increases the closing rate.

"This one will do!"

After a quick glance, Jerry casually chose a two-story villa.

There are no skyscrapers in this world; all the houses are small villas.

"How hasty!"

The female staff member muttered a complaint to herself, then continued to ask with a smile:

"Are you paying in installments, or will you pay the full amount upfront?"

"How much is it if I pay in full upfront?"

Jerry answered without the slightest hesitation.

"A total of one and a half million!"

The female staff member's eyes lit up.

"Give!"

Jerry casually took out 1.5 million in cash from the ring's storage space and placed it on the table next to him. The way he did it made the female staff member feel like he had taken out 1.5 million, but rather 1.5 yuan.

This made the female staff member wonder if mages really made that much money, and whether she should quit her job and apply for a Fairy Tail interview.

However, she quickly shook her head and dismissed this unrealistic idea. She knew her own limitations, and besides, magicians were the profession with the highest number of deaths in the kingdom every year, so she couldn't take such a risk.

"Okay, Mr. Jerry, we'll contact the current owner of the house, complete some handover procedures, and you should be able to get the keys and move in in about two hours!"

"I have other things to do, so you handle the rest. Consider this extra payment. I'll come back for the keys in two hours, is that alright?"

Jerry took out another 100,000 and placed it on the table.

He's thinking about browsing the magic shop now, rather than wasting two hours going through the formalities.

Sometimes, if money can solve the problem, why waste time?

"Of course, no problem. You go ahead and do your work; I'll handle everything else!"

When the female staff member saw the extra 100,000, she quickly agreed, fearing that Jerry might regret it and take the money back.

She could earn more than three months' salary in just two hours—it was an incredible way to make money! How could she possibly refuse?
