When I asked Suuru about spatial mages, she told
that they were more things of legends now. As for why they didn't exist anymore, she wasn't sure. So rumors said they exhausted themselves to establish the gate network linking the dos and died of sel depletion.
The shop owner finished dealing with a client before coming to us to see what the fuss was about. When the warehouse manager explained the situation to her, they both turned to , seeking an explanation.
"Are you a powerful air mage or sothing? No, but…"
I know what the shop owner wanted to say. Currently, I was exuding the aura of a rank 0, which didn't align with her assumption. I learned how to hide my rank and affinity during my training. Yet, this wasn't sothing normal people would do. Even for , it took seven years before I mastered it. For normal people, investing efforts into this was useless. On the contrary, showing off a decent rank was usually enough to deter most minor problems. This ability was only useful for fighters since it gave them the advantage of surprise. Back then, I also argued that I planned to be a trader and didn't need it. Unfortunately, my trainers were rciless and forced
to master it.
"I'm pretty strong and I've got a few tricks up my sleeve."
After looking at
weirdly for a bit more, they reluctantly nodded. It seed it was considered rude to ask about soone's skills even in this world.
"Fine. It doesn't matter to
as long as you get the job done."
She turned toward the warden.
"Thank you for coming to check it."
"I'm just doing my job."
The two of us departed toward the warehouse again, where I loaded two more selnic items before teleporting closer to the store. They didn't ask
anything anymore after that and, less than thirty minutes later, I was done. The owner ca to check that nothing was missing or broken and nodded approvingly.
"Good job. You did much better than I expected. Here."
She took two coins from her pocket and handed them to . At least, she didn't try to cheat
any more than she already did. I inspected them, one with 5 on one side and a do on the other. The second coin was larger, with a 10 on one side and a similar picture of a do on the other.
"Thank you. Then, I'll get going now."
"Wait. Are you looking for more work?"
"I am."
She took a piece of paper and wrote sothing on it.
"Go to this water store and show this paper. They'll give you work."
That was quite unexpected. She only appeared as an unfriendly person at first but maybe she was impressed by my work. Of course, I couldn't read so I had to ask her for directions, which she gave . I thanked and wished her a good day, going out of her place to head to the water store. When I was there, the piece of paper smoothed the whole recruitnt process and I was quickly given a similar job, with slightly better pay too.
Just like that, I worked until it was ti for shops to close. I was given many jobs in different businesses, mainly about transporting goods from one place to another. By the end of the day, I managed to earn 90 lods, which wasn't too shabby for a total foreigner in a different world. Of course, this was mostly due to teleporting all around the city and saving a lot of ti.
I placed the money in my storage and teleported back "ho
