In Yiyeta Harbor, a Wizard Apprentice who knows some basic magic can replace a dozen, or even dozens, of laborers, and if nothing else, they can be used as magic stones for an unlimited supply of magic power. Therefore, most job positions are not short of people.
As for the official Wizards, they do not engage in production. They either hold important positions within the harbor city or conduct magic research in some workshop, being high and mighty personages.
Anyway, these three hundred or so people are always snatching up business wherever they go.
The reason they are having such a rough time is, of course, because they have not won the competition...
There's no helping it—the others all have backers, either connected to some magic workshop or related to some Wizard.
But he has none!
What else could he do if he couldn't beat them? Of course, he had to swallow his pride!
