Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 93 You're Hired
Luke observed Bruce Benn.
He was in his twenties, had short curly dark blond hair, and looked very introverted. In fact, Bruce Ban did have some autistic tendencies. He was not good at speaking and socializing, and often chose to retreat when encountering problems, giving people the impression that he was weak and could be bullied.
Honest man!
This is Luke's definition of Bruce Benn. This kind of person looks timid and harmless on a daily basis, but once his negative emotions are squeezed to the limit, he will definitely explode.
Luke needs to make an assessment whether to kill him now to eliminate the hidden danger, or keep him and reshape him.
When facing the threat to his life, he was able to focus all his attention on the Book of Disaster, just like a otaku seeing a PS5, which made Luke give him a point in his heart.
Luke flicked a hockey puck with his finger and hit Bruce Ban on the head. He said, "This is a warning. If you ignore my questions again, I will blow your head off."
"I'm sorry!" Bruce Ban finally realized what kind of dangerous person he was facing. He reluctantly looked away from the Book of Disaster: "I didn't expect you to take out this book so casually... Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Qingkong, I didn't hear your question clearly.
Could you please say it again?"
"Okay...Are you satisfied with your current job and life? Please answer truthfully. Lying will only hasten your death."
The temperature in the secret room dropped, and an ice mist flower bloomed in front of Bruce Benn, and the cold air formed frost on his eyelashes.
"Not satisfied!" Feeling the chilling murderous intent, Bruce Ban nervously replied: "My colleagues don't like me, which is probably related to my personality. I can't fit in with their topics, and I will say some stupid things that embarrass everyone.
I was often laughed at, but they were all good people and it was my fault.
Sorry...Isn't what I said relevant to your question? "
Luke listened carefully and answered Bruce Ban, who was questioning him carefully, "You can continue. If I think it's okay, I will stop you."
"Thank you... Few people listen to me like you do." Bruce Ban continued, "I feel that I have no sense of existence in the Oulu Institute and my work is boring. I want to have my own laboratory, but obviously I am not qualified.
I am just a teaching assistant, and I will probably be a teaching assistant for the rest of my life.
This is my complaint about my current life and work. Does this answer satisfy you? "
"In this interview, I am the only one asking you questions. Next question, what do you think of the occult?"
The secret technique made Bruce Ban turn his attention to the Book of Disaster.
"In Oulu College, although there is no explicit prohibition on studying esoteric arts, it is a taboo that everyone tacitly accepts. Dean Wilred is respected by everyone, and no one is willing to stimulate the dean in this academic field. Moreover, esoteric arts itself is an academic field with high input and low output.
The uncertainty of the results makes it far more dangerous than other academic disciplines.”
"I'm asking you what you think about the occult, not what Oulu Academy thinks about it."
Luke corrects Bruce Benn's errant conversation .
Another icy mist flower covered his face, causing Bruce Ban to quickly say, "I'm sorry, I'm not good at communication. My view on the secret art... it is, it is a fascinating academic discipline.
The mysterious props entrusted with mysterious energy produce magical changes when the words of the secret technique are activated. Unlike other academic experiments where the results can be predicted, the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the secret technique is the charm of the secret technique.
Maybe there is a secret technique that can change my unsociable personality and make everyone like me.
Maybe there is a secret technique that can make me smarter and become a professor respected by everyone."
Bruce Ban's eyes lit up when he talked about the occult.
Luke thought that Bruce Ban was different from himself. He was not a speculator, but a person who truly loved the mysticism.
A somewhat inferior teaching assistant who wants to be recognized.
"One last question. I will give you an opportunity and conditions to study the secret arts, but you must obey the orders of a person who is considered dangerous by the Oulu Academy. The orders may include attacking the Oulu Academy.
What would you choose?
Think carefully...if you make the wrong choice, I will really kill you!"
The temperature in the secret room dropped rapidly, and thick frost formed on the walls and ceiling.
The cold penetrated Bruce Ban's thin clothes into his flesh, making him feel like his blood was about to freeze.
"I..." Bruce Ban made a difficult choice.
Obviously, if you don't accept the offer from Fairy Qingkong, you will end up dead. If you accept her offer, she will definitely do something bad to Oulu College.
I heard that she has killed many people, stole the Book of Disaster from Oulu College, attacked Dean Wilred, and destroyed the Tower of Wrath.
She was rated as an extremely dangerous person by Raging Waves City, and the bounty on her was as high as 1 billion Imperial Marks.
The increasing cold made Bruce Ban feel that his body was becoming stiff and his hands and feet were gradually losing numbness.
If you don't answer, you will slowly freeze to death in this torture.
"I, I refuse." Bruce Ban trembled and used up his last bit of strength to say: "Although I am not satisfied with my current job and life, I love this place... I want to be accepted by it, not destroy it."
"That's not the answer I wanted to hear. Do you really want to die?"
Luke felt like a villain now.
"No, I still have a lot of things to do...but I, I can't hurt the academy."
The coldness retreated at this moment, and warmth enveloped Bruce Ban. He found himself surrounded by a ball of white holy light, and his soul seemed to be purified and sublimated by the gentle temperature.
The Holy Light comes from the right hand of the elf.
A teasing smile appeared on her face.
"Your performance exceeded my expectations, and your answers changed my impression of you. You passed the interview, and you were accepted?"
"Admit? Admit what? I said, I won't..."
Luke threw a secret book to Bruce Ban and said, "I won't let you do anything that will harm the Oulu Academy.
Since you like the occult so much, I declare that you have been admitted to the occult department of Oulu College. I, Qingkong, am the head of the occult department of Oulu College and also a professor of occult. You will serve as an assistant teacher first, and I will promote you to professor in the future.
I'll give this book to you to repair. Remember to return it to me after you finish reading it."
Bruce Ban looked confused as he held the occult book in his hands.
"The Oulu College Esoteric Arts Department? Wasn't it disbanded more than a hundred years ago? And who appointed you as the head of the Esoteric Arts Department?"
Luke stood up and put the wizard's hat on his head.
"I founded the Department of Mystic Arts at Oulu College, and I appointed myself as the director. Now we have professors and teaching assistants, but we are still short of three students...
Let's go check out the occult department's school district."
