How does a young wizard who has not yet entered Hogwarts find a good job in Diagon Alley?
First rule out Gringotts.
Of course, with the level of logic of the wizards in this world who burns books and entraps scholars, In his previous life, Kaizo a man from science and engineering, could beat more than 95% of wizards in mathematics.
This level is more than enough to be an accountant or a cashier from Gringotts. However, this requires the goblins of Gringotts to actually believe it.
Secondly, places Patridge's Crucible shop and Quidditch Boutique are also inappropriate.
The products in these stores are all bulky items. It was either a crucible or broomstick, and the work inside looked like physical labor, and his little arms, and legs couldn't do anything about it.
After completing the elimination method, there are more stores to choose from:
Pharmacy that sells potions made of various ingredients, Eela Owl Shop that sells owls, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore where he bought his second hand books, Florins Ice Cream Shop that is the most popular among little wizards, and Madam Malkin's robe store that sells customized school uniforms, the Diagon Alley store that sells all kinds of stationery...
Among them, his first choice is of course Flourishes and blotts bookstore. Because he can also read books for free. Of course, the above is Kaizo's unilateral choice.
The reality is that he choose the store, but the store did not choose him! They said that he is too young and not old enough to work.
Wow, are you wizards so law abiding?
Obviously the social level is still equivalent to that of muggles 100 years ago. Then why not apply the rules of 100 years ago during the colonization period when it comes to recruiting workers?
Kaizo job search fell into deep trouble until he came to Fantastic Beasts store. At that time, there was a large circle of people surrounding the entrance of the Fantastic Beast store.
There was a lot of noise inside, and nobody knew what was going on. Then he saw a female clerk in the store standing in front of a large cage, hurriedly trying to catch the niffler inside.
Beside her, a man wearing a well dressed suit and a top hat crossed his arms and looked at her impatiently.
The niffler is a long snouted creature covered in black fur, like a cross between a platypus and a mole. They have a gentle personality and are good at digging.
Their favorite hobby is finding shiny treasures. They will put the found treasures in the bag of their abdomen and destroy everything around them in search of shiny items.
Therefore, nifflers are often regarded as the best helpers for treasure hunters. The female shop assistant cursed in a hurry:
"Which one of you is that dammed little guy? Whoever stole Mr. Moores pocket watch come forward."
Kaizo could see that there were at six nifflers in the large cage, running away from the female slerk in panic.
She finally caught one, hung it upside down and kept swinging it around.
"Don't catch me, don't throw me around, I'm so dizzy."
Through animal conversation ability, kaizo can hear the complaints of that niffler. The clerk shook it for a long time only to get a pitiful amount of sickes from it's belly bag.
"Damn it, not this one!"
She tried to put to put the niffler into another cage, but the angry niffler raised his mouth and bit the clerk. The clerk let go in pain, and the niffler fell into the midst of his companions again.
The worst part is, these nifflers look so alike that store clerk can't even tell them apart. Ouch, the efforts just now went into the drain. Seeing the incompetent and furious look of this clerk, kaizo face broke into a smile.
This is not because he was gloating over the clerk's misfortune, but he discovered that an opportunity to work is coming. He immediately stepped forward and tugged on the hem of the female clerks clothes.
"Hello, sister, I am Kaizo Grindel. Maybe I can solve your troubles."
The female clerk was anxious about how to find the customer's pocket watch, and was suddenly stopped by someone. She really about to get angry. Looking back, she saw that the person calling her was just a cute little boy.
For some reason, her anger immediately dropped by half, and she managed a smile patiently:
"Ahem, hello, Mr. Grindel. It's a pleasure to serve you, but look, I'm busy now. Can I entertain you later?"
But kaizo shook is head and insisted:" You misunderstood. I am not here to seek your services. On the contrary, I am here to help you."
"What help do you mean?" The female clerk looked confused.
"I can help you find the niffler who stole the pocket watch."
The female clerk looked at him suspiciously and said,"I'm glad you are willing to help me, but if you go near these nifflers, you may gart hurt."
"You're overthinking, sister." Kaizo smiled confidently," I can find out the identity of the thief without having to do anything."
After that, he took a step forward, came to the cage, and said to the nifflers:
"Hey little guys, which one of you just stole a new baby?"
In the eyes of outsiders, kaizo did not speak, but just made a "chirp" sound.
The sound was almost like a real niffler.
This is exactly what the [Animal Talking] ability is doing. This strange scene stopped the clerk who tried to stop kevin.
At this time, several nifflers were also stunned in the cage.
They are also feeling very strange. Why can the huge creature in front of them speak their language? Is it, that huge creature is also a giant niffler? Their little minds couldn't process such complicated information, but they still answered Kaizo's question honestly.
Then, kaizo turned back and looked at the female clerk:"I'm sure the theif is this little guy. He has a broken finger on his left front paw."
After hearing Kaizo's words, the female clerk doubtfully grabbed the niffler and swung it upside down. Soon, a gold watch fell out of the little guy's abdominal bag.
"Yes, that's it, my pocket watch! That's the best gift my mother left for me."
The wizard in the suit excitedly picked up the pocket watch, carefully put it into his arms, thanked kaizo, and left the shop.
This is the end of a farce.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, kid!" After the onlookers dispersed, the female store clerk held Kaizo's hand and thanked him profusely."You have done me a huge favor."
Then she curiously:"You can actually imitate the nifflers call, and you can tell at a glance which niffler stole the pocket watch. How did you do it? Can you talk to the nifflers?"
Kaizo shook his head and nodded again:"Absolutely. I have a talent and can vaguely feel the emotions of small animals."
He did not truthfully acknowledge the ability of [Animal Conversation] and discounted it. Then the clerk screamed.
"Holy merlin! It's amazing that you have the same talent as Mr. Newt Scamander."
Newt Scamander, a famous magical zoologist and the author of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", is a big celebrity in the magical animal circle. Anyone who us is a fan or practitioner in the related industry has heard of him and his great name.
Scamander himself is known for being able to communicate with magical animals. This is why Kaizo partially conceals his abilities.
The so called half superman is called a genius, and a complete superman is called a madman.
He said that he can communicate with magical animals, and since there was a precedent for Newt, everyone would only envy him after hearing this.
But saying that he can talk to magical animals would be exaggeration.
Communication can only involve simple emotions, but dialogue involves complex logic and language.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the female clerk looked at him a little kindly.
"I am Mary Triest, the clerk of this magical animal store. Thank you for helping me solve this problem. Little guy, if you need any magical animal or related supplies in the future, you can cone to me. I within my authority can give you a 10% discount."
"It's okay, clerk sister,"Kaizo waved his hand pretending to be generous, then raised his head and gave the other party an innocent look,"Then do you need part time child worker?"
