Dean was not hesitant proceeding forward, his mind was calm and his posture was straight and with his clean white clothes he look pleasing to the eyes. He didn't show much emotion on his face he only showed indifference to everything he see on his way.
The pathway that he took was said to be leading on a garden so the more he walk the more his surroundings started to be light up by the sunlight. The path that he took was not that long so he was able to reach the end of it quickly, and when the moment he reach the end of the pathway what he saw amaze him.
Clean surroundings with flowers and trees surrounding the area, the little flowers that spread out all over the garden was like something straight out of a fantasy that he had saw from his past life. There were also flowers and plants that he had never seen before even in his memories, the aroma of the
And in the middle of these vibrant flowers was simple bamboo hut, it was bigger than a normal seen around the city, however compared to the extravagance of the 'mansion' like building it was place in the bamboo hut looked rather simplistic and unrefined.
Its roof was only made out of weaved dried leaves of a plant that he did not know of, the 4 supporting column of the whole bamboo hut was made out of different kind of woods as for its walls and floor the materials that was use were all bamboo.
The bamboo hut was open and letting him see a silhouette of the person sitting inside the hut, the silhouette suddenly move the moment he entered the garden, it seemed to have notice his arrival. Dean was aware of this and it made him think that it was the Gilet person he was supposed to meet.
He straighten his body cup his hands and bowed as he announced who he was "My name is Dean, I am here for the job as a helper."
The silhouette did not make any kind of response causing Dean to think that "Gilet" was still suspicious of him, he couldn't blame him though as he arrive here unannounced just because Freya told him to come, so he added "I am from the Lotus Inn and was sent here by Miss Freya to work."
And like he thought the person inside the hut move once more to stand up, a man's followed "So Freya sent you here, if so then you must be someone that's trustworthy and hardworking. Come here boy let me have a look at you before I decide to hire you."
Dean walked forward and before long he was already in front of the bamboo hut, he was honestly caught off guard by the voice of the man inside the bamboo but after taking deep breaths he was able to control his mind and reactions.
He did not want to have another one of his childlike reactions as he treated as something truly disgraceful and if he did throw that kind of reactions here then he just might as well say to them that he don't need the job, because no one will hire a spoiled brat.
Reaching the front of the hut Dean cupped his hand and said "Mister Gilet." He gave him a slight bow showing his respect to his elderly, he clearly do not know if this man named Gilet was old or not just base on his base but to be safe he was acting extra careful of how he approach things.
"Good, you have manners boy I like that. You said that you were from the Lotus Inn, what work do you manage there?" Gilet gave him a simple answer from behind the blinds that was keeping Dean from getting a clear look on his face and total body features.
Dean notice this point and answered "No I do not work there, I am just one of the people that rent one of their places for the time being, I was just sent here by Miss Freya because I happened to mention I was looking for a job earlier."
Behind the blinds Dean was able to hear Gilet listening to him as he was constantly saying "hmm" as he spoke of all this, silence occupied the surroundings, when he stop talking and finish his explanations Gilet also didn't say anything for a while.
Dean didn't move from his place and just stood there in front of the bamboo not moving, after a while of waiting Gilet finally said something "Alright then I will hire you for now if I don't like you I can always fire you anyway and if that lady from the Lotus Inn recommended you how bad could you be."
The blinds of the curtain begun to slowly go up as the person behind it was shown to the world, looking at the person behind the curtain Dean opened his eyes wide from shock. The image that he drew inside his head for Gilet was broken as the person in front of him was nothing like he thought of.
The man in front of him was not big and burly old man like he thought he would be, the part of old man also can't be added. The man that was in front of him right now was handsome and got a clear face on him, the way his pair of black eyes look at Dean carried power making those that may see it feel the pressure that he give out.
His black hair was beautiful and was shining under the light of the sun, his skin was smooth and his facial features was like a girl, all in all he was extremely handsome.
"You will now be working for me as my personal puppet." Said Gilet he put his hands on his chin and said "Wait forget I said that, what I meant to say was you will be my helper and assistant for now… hey listen to me I am your employer don't give me that look."
Dean stunned and irritated at the same time, he was not willing to work here but he knew he didn't have any choice but to go and do it. The system clearly told him to get the job or else that title would be put on him.
In his mind he was already complaining as he was feeling that if he truly go on with the job here he would be facing something that he would be regretting in the future –System what will happen when I get that title of Useless bum? —
[ Ding
Host will have an aura around him that will make others want to avoid him, people will instinctively think you are useless and cannot do anything right. ]
Dean wanted to cry from the explanation he just heard, he was planning to reject the offer when he saw how Gilet was acting. It was not he didn't like Gilet it was just he got this weird feeling of foreboding the moment he heard him say "puppet" and that puppet was clearly pertaining him.
"Hey boy don't act like that in front of me, come follow me now I have to go to my room, you're my helper/assistant so you must always be with me to assist me in different things." Gilet didn't even wait for his answer of whether he accept the job or not and he was already making him work.
Without any complains Dean followed behind him, he didn't have anything against following someone from the back so he just quietly followed him without raising any fuss about it. His face was the same as before but in his heart he was still having that foreboding feeling, he shake his head and just accepted the fact that he need this job in order for him to survive and actually start his training in the martial path.
He was after all in a place called the Black Turquoise Academy and if he played his cards right he just might be able to go and enroll on the next enrollment and enter the academy to start training. But in order for him to that he first needed a strength at the bare minimum of 1st level Body Refiner before going through the exam.
The people outside that was acting as guards were both someone at the 4th level so he got a pretty good idea of the requirements to enter here.
He was already planning to go back after his finish here, training was important and in his first day here in this world he was not planning to let that slide, in order for him to enact revenge for him and Dean of this world he needed to train like his life was on the line.
Dean was pumped up from head to toe, he was rearing to go back home train. He didn't notice where he and Gilet was walking and when he did he notice he was already in a room that have double the size than the one he was living in the Lotus Inn.
"You will be staying here now that you're my assistant, I will living on that building, and I will be having you live here close to me so I will be able to call you easier." Gilet put his hands on his waist and announce with his nose pointed up on the air before handing him a small bag.
