Chapter 24: Job (1/2)

After school, Theo had another thought of what he wanted to do. A coffee shop was a good place for solving his thought.

'Hmm, the training comes really soon and will take a long time. Right now, I can buy a cheap apartment, but I won't get that much of a space. What I need right now is a larger one where I can train with my clone, so it means I need to go for a more expensive one which can only be acquired by rent right now.'

His Skylink was already open, searching for the apartments. He skimmed all the information to find a perfect apartment for him.

'I should rent this one. It has two master bedrooms. I can turn one of them to my training room. Besides, the living room is quite big, so it should be enough. It will be perfect if I have a mansion where I can use the garden to train, but that's only a long-term goal for me.'

He remembered the benefits that the school offered if he was selected. With this kind of benefit, he believed he could reach his goal soon, so he was determined to obtain one of the spots even if Alea knew about his identity.

'This was a pipe dream before, but to think I can see it now, I should thank the one who granted me this power, the God of Mischief.' Theo thought and looked at the ceiling.

[The God of Mischief is pleased to see your attitude.]

”…” He shook his head with a smile. 'Anyway, if I am going to rent an apartment, it's better to only do it after the training. I will be wasting money if I rent it now. In other words, if I can register myself in the temple, I can go to the other side again to increase my strength. After all, there is no way they will choose a weak person for the competition.'

Unfortunately, he needed to spend a few hours in the school on Saturday because they would announce his group.

'Haiz, if they announce it on the Skylink Network, I won't need to go to school and spend three days straight training on the other side, but I guess this is too important.' He finished his coffee and left the shop, planning to finish the registration as quickly as possible.

He arrived in front of a tall building. Despite calling it a temple, the building was just like any other skyscraper.

Not having an interest in admiring the building, he entered.

The first room he saw was a giant lobby. With twenty feet high ceiling and limited pillar, the lobby looked spacious despite many people walking around.

On his right were lines of chairs where people usually waited. On the opposite side, Theo found a giant billboard where people could link their Skylink to it and searched for a party or mission. He himself didn't understand that much regarding how it all worked, so he planned to test his strength first while understanding the system.

He walked straight from the door where three receptionists handled all the matters in the guild.

Theo simply chose the one who didn't deal with anyone right now.

She appeared to be a woman in her mid-twenties with her long red hair tied into a ponytail. She wore a black suit that seemed to be the uniform of this temple.

”Welcome to the Warrior Temple. How can I help you?” She politely asked while wearing her warmest smile.

”I am here to register.”

”May I see your ID?”

Theo nodded and handed the ID Card.
