Chapter 763 – Substitute Teacher Saul

Chapter 763 – Substitute Teacher Saul
It was late in the day after coming out of the squire’s house.

Saul maintained his magic power fluctuation at the scale of a first-rank official sorcerer, then casually found an inn that offered services to sorcerers and stayed there.

He originally wanted to disguise himself as a sorcerer apprentice so that he could approach the apprentice boy who appeared in the squire’s dream.

But he realized that the status of sorcerer apprentices in Sky City seemed a bit too low.

Unlike the Stat Continent, which was filled with ordinary people, Sky City itself was a giant sorcerous creation. Ordinary people couldn’t really live here.

The only places for ordinary people to live were two remote alleys.

Most of the people who lived there were ordinary people who worked in the air harbor like squires.

And sorcerer apprentices were surprisingly not allowed to stay at the inn here.

There were special apprentice dormitories provided for apprentices to live in.

Whether you are a local apprentice or not, you can only live in the designated place when you come here.

Even if you have money, you can’t.

The rank restrictions are very strict.

It’s only better if you’re a full-fledged wizard.

At the very least, they could not be assigned a place to live, but those areas close to the White Glazed Castle could not be entered either.

The inn that Saul stayed in was plain and ordinary, and there was absolutely no sign of any favorable treatment for wizards.

Fortunately, Saul wasn’t a person who pursued enjoyment either.

He casually booked a single room and directly meditated until dawn.

Early the next morning, Saul went out and after asking a few passersby, managed to find the broken tower that appeared in the squire’s dream.

Even though the sorcerer apprentice in the dream might not live near the Broken Tower, since the squire would come here to look for someone, the other party would at the very least appear in this place relatively often.

Saul’s first day here yielded no results.

He didn’t use any sorcery and continued to wait and observe everyone who passed by near the Broken Tower on the second day.

The boy didn’t keep Saul waiting for long, and just the next morning Saul saw him trotting his way past the Broken Tower.

“Found it.”

With his hands behind his back, Saul leisurely followed behind. Even though the other party’s figure was getting farther and farther away, Saul didn’t quicken his pace.

When he was about to lose sight of the other party, Saul saw the boy walk into a large auditorium-like place.

This large auditorium covered a not-so-small area, and was surrounded by a square filled with white and pink tweed flowers.

There were also quite a few sorcerer apprentices on the plaza, fewer first level and more second and third level.

It was also close to the dormitory area for the apprentices.

Compared to the dense hive-like apprentice dormitories, this place was much more spacious, like a playground for students.

As Saul crossed the square, every apprentice who noticed him bowed his head and saluted.

Even those who were sitting on the benches before would immediately rise.

“The hierarchy is quite strict.”

Saul walked to the door of the auditorium and before he could enter, a person came out from inside first.

That person was a woman who looked to be in her forties, and even though her skin was still smooth and fair, the vicissitudes and fatigue in her eyes could not be concealed.

She first froze when she saw Saul, then immediately revealed a relieved smile.

“You’re finally here, I thought you resented the bad treatment and had already given up.” Saul stopped in his tracks, “Do you know who I am?”

The woman nodded, “Although I haven’t met you before, but a young first-order wizard, an unfamiliar face, and the only people who appear outside the lecture hall at this time of the day are the substitute lecturers we recruited outside the island.”

Saul shrugged, “Actually, I’m still considering ……”

The woman raised her hands, “I know our pay is a bit low, but until you have the ability to enter the House of Seeking Knowledge or the House of Practicing, a lecturer in the Apprentice Academy would be the most suitable transition job.”

The woman saw that Saul hadn’t left, thinking that he had been moved, and simply tugged on Saul’s sleeve, leading him inside.

“No introductions yet, my name is Laura, and I’ve been a lecturer here for 27 years.”

“Saul.”

“Hello Saul. I know you’re hesitant, but you could really try first. Even if it’s just to substitute for one class?”

Laura said in a broken voice, “Third level apprentice classes are actually pretty good. They ask mind-numbingly stupid questions. If you really don’t know how, just tell them it’s not something you should know right now.”

Apprentices still passed by the two from time to time, but Laura also spoke recklessly about ways to deal with apprentices.

“If you really have something to do, you can also inform us to turn the lesson into a study session. Of course we don’t pay for lessons in that case.”

Laura blocked her lips with the back of her hand and said in a seemingly cryptic, but actually still loud voice, “Of course, my suggestion is that you can come over and do your own thing, and then actually those apprentices can just study on their own.”

Saul raises an eyebrow and nods as if in a daze.

These Laura wizards in front of him were obviously just a hired hand, not the owner of this academy, much less the one responsible for paying the wages.

“You young people, who have just become First Order wizards, are too ambitious to understand the good things here. In fact, the official instructors here have been doing this for decades like me.”

“Although there’s no way for you to advance or obtain many rare resources here. But it can keep you alive, living like a king.”

Laura said this and suddenly waved her hand at an apprentice who was closer to her.

That apprentice was immediately lifted up like he was hit by a hurricane, and then slapped hard against the wall of the corridor, immediately spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

The nearby apprentices were so frightened that they didn’t dare to utter a single sound, and all consciously stood against the wall.

Laura said in a completely different tone to the apprentice who hadn’t gotten up yet, “Scott, if you don’t know how to show respect to a full-fledged wizard, next time I’ll slap your head like a berry!”

The apprentice who was lying on the ground didn’t dare to climb up at all, and didn’t even dare to meet Laura’s eyes, so he could only spit out blood while desperately nodding his head.

But clearly …… he just stood a little closer to Laura.

Saul opened his mouth and quickly closed it, his face was stunned, just like a fledgling new teacher.

Laura was satisfied with Saul’s reaction, knowing that a normal person would have changed their mind about this poorly paid job by this time.

So she began to give Saul a sense of crisis again.

“Of course, it’s fine if you still have other plans, as long as you act as a proxy for the course these days. The lecturer who was originally in charge of the third level apprentices has gone to take the examination for the Inquisition Academy, so if he doesn’t pass the examination, he’ll be back to continue lecturing.”

At that moment, the two arrived at the classroom at the innermost part of the corridor.

It was a ladder classroom.

It looked like it could seat more than two hundred people.

But at this moment, there were less than fifty people sitting in the classroom, and they were also sitting in an unusually scattered manner. Seven of them sat in the last row, and didn’t sit up straight like the others when Saul and Laura walked in.

And for the first time, Laura, who had been speaking loudly, also switched to using the secret language technique to speak to Saul, “By the way, unless the apprentices in the last row take the initiative to ask you questions, you don’t need to bother with them normally. These people either have close relatives of official wizards, or have good talent with a chance to become official wizards. We usually don’t bother with apprentices up to this stage, so as not to meet them awkwardly when they are promoted.”

Saul nodded his head casually, in fact he wasn’t listening carefully to Laura.

Because he was in the last row and saw the wizard apprentice boy who appeared in the squire’s dream!
