I walked with Bob through the street of Brigians.
Since it was morning, People were going out for a walk, and shop owners were opening their shops.
The morning was lovely. I would have normally enjoyed the walk after a wonderful breakfast, but I wasn't able to enjoy it.
-Still?
" Yes. He is still following. "
Ever since I left the house with Bob, Persephone told me that someone was following us. It was Ducas, the person I took with me while leaving The Church.
Originally I was planning on going to the outer region of the Brigians and then flying from there towards the 'Brimos', but with Ducas following it will be a little problematic.
" You seem troubled about something. "
Bob looked at me with concern in his eyes. Sometimes I wonder how will an honest man like him lives such peaceful life, I envy that.
" It's nothing. I am just concerned about the city. "
Bob nodded his head in understanding. The city was peaceful but there were still a lot of people talking about the incident from yesterday night.
" I am concerned as well. Someone broke into the church last night. "
-That someone is right here.
Persephone had a smile. She was not troubled by the conversation we had in the vault. It was good.
" I hope The Church will be alright. "
-Those people should suffer more.
I nodded my head, I agreed with both Bob and Persephone. The Church needs to be alright so that the future won't change much, but I couldn't help but agree to want them to fall even more.
" Sir Bob, You should go back, I can go get a transport vehicle on my own from here. "
I told Bob to go back, Bob look hesitant to leave me, So I spoke before he could refute.
" You have your work and James also needs to go to his school. "
" ...Alright. "
I used family sentiment. An honest man like him who loves his family could not deny the responsibility he had. He walked me to the main road and then bid farewell.
" If you have trouble finding anything come back, and call me just Bob. "
" okay. Thank you for everything. "
Bob turned and walked back toward his house. I watched him leave and once he was out of my sight. I walked towards the outer region of the city where fewer people were there.
-Is he still following?
" Yes. "
Once I was sure there was no one around, I used the shared 'Flight' skill from Persephone and fly towards the sky.
[ The Active skill, 'Flight Lvl 9' has been shared. ]
[ The Active Skill 'Flight Lvl 1' has been activated. ]
" That stalking guy is running towards you. His expression is hilarious. "
It seems Ducas was surprised to see me fly. He never saw me do anything in particular since he was under hypnosis. I ignored him and without looking back I flew into the clouds.
" I thought you will talk to him. Why don't you just take him? "
-He will attract unnecessary troubles.
After watching this world for so long, there is one thing I understand, that is, strong people tend to attract other strong people. I do not want more baggage than I could handle.
" Well, anyway let us have a riddle for the day. "
[ The Nubecula 'Whose Heart Bleeds For Heartbroken' Comments "ok". ]
[ The Nubecula 'Who Like Cigars And Candy' comments "it better be reasonable". ]
[ The Nubecula 'Hwang Jini' Comments "ready". ]
[ The Nubecula 'Dionysus' is listening. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Raziel' is listening. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Gumiho' comment "I will get it this time!" ]
[ Some Nubeculas are paying attention to you. ]
" You sure enjoy this. "
-It is a good business.
I should thank Gumiho for this. She must have told other NUbecua about me, I don't like attention, but It helped me get points and this popularity will be useful in the future.
" I have thirteen hearts, but no organs. What Am I? "
[ Some Nubeculas are thinking about your question. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Hwang Jini' Comments " A Deck of cards." ]
This time Hwang Jini got it right. Well, she is known for her intellect.
" Very good. As expected from someone known for her intelligence. "
[ The Nubecula 'Hwang Jini' is pleased with your compliment. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Whose Heart Bleeds For Heartbroken' is jealous. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Gumiho' comment "give us another one!" ]
" Tch... "
[ Some Nubeculas are enjoying the competition between women. ]
[ 400 total points donated ]
It looks like Some Nueculas are competing with each other, Persephone also looked quite spirited. I was also hoping to get more points.
" Okay, then let's see who gets the next one. 'I have no feet, no hands, no wings, but I climb to the sky. What am I?' "
[ Some Nubeculas are looking forward to the competition. ]
and like that riddle competition started.
After seven hours of flying, I reached the town of 'Brimos', the riddle competition went on for a while. It was almost evening now, and most of the people on the streets were wearing black cloaks.
It looked like a typical witch town but it really wasn't like that. These people mostly are either students of 'Trivia' or a Professor there. There were normal people as well.
I landed outside the town, I do not want anyone to notice me flying. Even with all the skills out there, flying was still one of the rare skills.
Then, as soon as I landed Persephone spoke.
" That person from the previous city is approaching here. He is quite adamant, he followed you all the way here. "
That made mouth sour. When I first saw the city of 'Brimos' I was happy. I was finally able to reach the place I wanted to reach for so long, but now I am considering going somewhere very far.
" We should hurry. "
I spoke out loud because of the problem coming my way. I went towards the city. The city was huge and beautiful. If I had to compare the city with someplace. It was very similar to early Paris from the '80s.
It had clean streets. I could see many coffee and food shops, people of the city looked quite intelligent and full of manners.
As far as I remembered, The city was famous for its coffee and Prestigious Magic school.
Since it was around four in the evening, I went straight to my destination. I wanted to do all the work so that I could spend the night comfortably.
After walking for a while, I reached a huge golden metallic gate. There was a nameplate on the side of the door.
' The School Of Magic and Art, 'Trivia' '
I walked through the golden gates of Trivia, there was a guard sitting beside the gate. He looked at me and then turned away to look at the streets. The school was open to everyone in the first place so he had no reason to stop me.
The school was very beautiful, It was like a mansion. It was like someone turned a lavish mansion into a school. I often thought that I had this element in my dream because of my favorite show. It was a vampire-related show.
The school 'Trivia ' had a similar history. It was told that the school was once the mansion for a very popular goddess Heckat. She is now a Nubecula.
It was written in 'Trivia' history that Heckat once built this place as her mansion to live in. Later her followers convert it into a school of magic, based on her specialty, which was magic.
I walked inside the building. Inside of the Trivia was equally amazing, since it was the reception area there were not many people but the infrastructure of this place is breathtaking. I walked over to the big table where a man with glasses was sitting.
[ The Active Skill 'Prescient Description' is activated. ]
[ Name: Todd Middleton
Age: 52 years old
Constellation Blessing: none
Active Attribute: Fox ( General )
Active skill: Observation Lvl.3, Studying Lvl.4, Organizing Lvl.3, Dagger wielding Lvl.4, Pass from sight Lvl.2

Overall Stats: Strength Lvl.80, Stamina Lvl.85, Agility Lvl.89, Magic Power Lvl.80
Description: He is a calm man, who likes to be ready for everything. He likes to lives in shadows and works swiftly. ]
The man in front of me looked like an ordinary man. Despite how people thought of a receptionist as someone useless or side character, Todd was an extremely smart person. He was an assassin in the past. I have seen him beheading people like he was cutting the butter in my dreams.
I was a little nervous, but I tried not to show it on my face. I got closer to the reception table.
" Good evening. "
I greeted the man, but he just looked at me with no interest whatsoever. His gaze seemed to be asking 'what do you want?'. I already knew his nature so I got straight to the point.
" I am here to apply for an open position in 'Trivia'. "
Todd let out a sigh, If I had to guess he should be thinking 'another one' or something like that.
He moved back, grabbed a piece of paper from behind, and slide it in front of me over the desk. I took the paper and read it.
Sigh...
This time it was me who let out a sigh, he handed me a paper of registration for a worker, this was for the people applying for a gardener or for a guard position.
[ The Nubecula 'Who Like Cigars And Candy' is laughing. ]
This bastard is looking down on me, he could at least ask for what I want to apply for. I slide back the registration form back to him.
" I am not here for worker position. "
Todd looked at me with a shocked expression. I was shocked as well, Why was he shocked? Did he really think I was here for the worker position?
" What is your age? "
He directly asked for my age. I thought he should ask for my name or what position I want to apply for. But on Teraa people generally judge one based on their age.
Since people now can live up to two hundred years, if you do not have a blesser or incredible skill. Training and raising your stats were normal and it requires a lot of time.
" 20 years. "
Todd nodded his head and then took out a student registration form. As he was about to slide the form towards me, I spoke up before he could do that.
" I am not here for a student position as well. "
Todd looked genuinely confused this time, well I understood his confusion.
" So what position are you here for? Aside from students and workers, there is only a professor position left. "
Indeed that are only three positions one can apply for in 'Trivia'. I do not want to be a worker and a student position is not beneficial for me. I also can not be a professor, only someone with high knowledge or recognization could become one.
" Yes, I am aware of that. I want to apply for an assistant position. "
Assistance is the position I wanted. The assistances are the helper of the professors, they help them manage their classes and other work related to offices, assignments, research, and stuff like that.
" Assistance is not the position you can apply for. Professors choose someone, from their students, who they think will be suitable to be their assistant. "
It was also like that, as he said I can not apply for the position but there was an exception.
" Isn't there one professor who is accepting anyone for the assistance position? "
Todd widened his eyes for just a moment. It went to normal just as it appeared.
" Are you talking about Professor Lisa Yates? "
I nodded my head. Yes, Lisa Yates, she was the only reason I am here.
She will be my Blesser.
