Chapter 44: High-Grade(?) Manpower (1)
Immediately after separating with the mage tower folks, I mulled over Master Meltas’ parting words. He’d said he’d contact me once the Mage Tower Supporter qualification and the Didoa incident reward were finalized.
It had been a satisfying mage tower scouting trip(?)—full of events, but just as fruitful. I’d made good connections and basically secured a positive relationship with the Gray Tower itself.
Once either of those two matters was resolved, they would guarantee my status. With their backing, I’d be treated better than most common nobles, let alone a bastard.
This left me with two options: sit around and wait for the Tower to contact me, or find something productive to do in the meantime.
While I had become a man courted by master mages and anxiously pursued by the Gray Tower, I was still completely and utterly unemployed.
I’d spent the last few days building a good rapport with the Tower, but that also meant my job search had fallen behind.
Thinking about Fienne and Rona made me restless. Those two had already landed jobs and moved out thanks to their knack for bewitching others. The idea of just waiting felt unbearable.
But then again, the Tower’s backing would significantly improve the quality of opportunities available to me.
For a second, I debated asking Master Meltas or Didoa for a letter of recommendation...
“...Nah.”
But I thought the better of it.
