The electronic application swiftly moves through the data centers and within seconds, arrives into the inbox of Siara Kenstone. Siara was the current Personal Assistant, the position that Sato was applying for. The reason for this job becoming vacant was because she was about to give birth to her baby. It was said to be due in 2 weeks time and she had to do some preparation before she leaves for maternity leave for 4 to 6 months.
Presently, she had thought that these individuals are actually university applicants as the job hunting software they used would help sift out for them. Hmm a total of 20 applicants have applied for the job. Seems like this time round there would be a cutthroat competition. She immediately prepared and printed out each of the applicant's resume and sent out an interview invite to each of them.
By the time Sato had finished eating his dinner, he had already received back an invite for an interview that dated tommorow.
Tommorow? It seems like they really need to fill up this position badly. I wonder who could this person I'm working for be? Sato thought questionably. His analytical skills told him that it would probably be a ranking officer that requires a PA to help organise their schedule to the minute. He knew if he got this job, he would probably have to work his butt off. Well no need to think about it, if you get it you get it.
With that, Sato called up his best friend in University Z, Ming. "Hey Ming! How was the first day of class?"
"Hey Sato. Mmm class was as per normal. Professor Clarence was rambling on about the thought process behind the Autocook. (Author's Note: A machine that helps automatically make food for people)."
"Ah thats the usual Professor. He can't help but talk about his greatest invention. I mean I would talk about it too if I had created that product."
"True. Oh yeah, we had a club meeting today and we decided that we were going to attempt to clear the Hell Dungeon in ROL"
"Hell dungeon? Already? I thought we already made it clear that the Expert dungeon had already expended too much of our university funds. Why bother trying out the Hell version if it may even drain all of our budget?! " Sato exclaimed at this news that he just received.
The game they were discussing about was Ray Of Light. It is currently the most up and coming game where over 10 billion people around the world are playing. The game was set in Ronan, a fantasy world whereby the game world is getting invaded by demons from another world. It was then when humans (the players) enter Ronan and save them from the demons. The humans were the ray of light, symbolising hope in the hearts of the citizens in Ronan.
Both he and Ming are part of University Z's Ray Of Light team. They were part of the school guild "RoyalKnights", which is actually a top 100 guild in the world, bringing in a lot of prestige whereever they go. However since Sato and Ming are both people who are of lower level in societal rankings, they often get discriminated in game and do not have a say in game matters. In the case of dungeon clearing, they would usually be cannon fodder for the team and would not be able to showcase their skills.
"Yeah.. Tyron was confident in his judgement and made everyone agree forcefully. We are going to clear it tommorow." Tyron is the current leader of the school guild as his father was the sponsor of all the gaming equipment in the school. He held absolute power in the club. "Also, Tyron has made the decision to kick you out of the guild. I tried fighting back but..."
"Hey Ming, it's alright man. You know how that bastard works. Whatever that doesnt benefit him will be thrown away in the dumpster." Sato reassured Ming that he was completely fine and he really was. Ever since he had joined the guild he had been discriminated and had his own account drop in level significantly for no reason. When he does get a job he shall get himself a gaming helmet and recreate his account to start again. (Author's note: In ROL, you can only have one account at a time per person. If you would like to restart, you would have to give up your pre-existing account.)
"Well the team is about to start practice now. I will talk to you later. I have already sent you the notes that I took down during class today. Take care Sato." The call ended and Sato went into his email to open up the files that Ming sent. Inside is the content of the lecture of Professor Clarence. He was the pair's Mechanical Engineering professor that had won many innovation prizes for his inventions. His name was actually carved on Glory road.
Sato went into study mode as he revised and watched over the lecture vid on his university account. Ever since he was young, Sato had been a hardworking child. His parents has a bakery in the suburbs of Country Z and they barely get by everyday. Sato worked hard every year to receive scholarships and opportunities to earn prizes and money to help alleviate the financial burden in his family. He was a smart youth that was number 1 in the National Exams which was why he got into University Z, the number 3 school in the world. The youth studies double degree in Computer science and Mechanical engineering.
After 3 hours of watching the video and studying over the notes, Sato finished his night by looking through his closet for the nicest shirt and pants he had.
Since he only had 4 sets of clothing, it didnt take him long to find a formal shirt and pants that was too small for his current build. He had worn this for his interview into university and has grown taller ever since then.
Oh well, I guess I just have to make do with this, Sato thought. He went ahead to iron it over once and cut a little bit of his hair to make himself look more presentable. The current him had overly long bangs and long hair twirls at the back of his head. He looked like a girl with curly hair. When finished with his hair, he had changed into a youthful male that had a slight spring in his hair.
He then decided to have an early night's rest to prepare himself for tommorow. How would the interview turn out?
