The perfect job
1034 Words
Noah and Hope went down and looked at the fancy table in from of him.
For Hope, who hadn't seen so much food in her whole life, and Noah, who haven't eaten like a normal human being for months, they couldn't help but salivate.
"Brothesh, what's this!?"
"This is bread"
"But breadtsh isn't something hard!?"
"Sorry princess, I couldn't provide for you..."
"Is not brothesh fault! breadsh of brothesh, Hope's likes!"
"..."
April looked at the interaction between brother and sister and couldn't help but sigh.
As someone born in royalty April was born to success.
She was born in the Ravenhood family, one of the eight noble families in the whole country. As a magician, their parents knew from the first day that she will succeed the family and will be one of the leaders of the country in the future.
That was why they didn't want her to grow in a glass, they wanted her to know both ups and downs of society, so she could defend herself later.
April got to know the worse of society when she was still a child.
She has seen orphans like Noah a lot.
Maybe too much.
Did she felt pity for them?
Yes, she did.
She felt bad because she was born in a better environment?
No, she didn't.
It was just luck.
She would certainly do everything she could to improve the lives of her people.
Noblesse oblige, If you would.
"It's delicious?"
"Ah...ah, yeah... is it"
"Good" Said April with a smile.
"I...I will pay you back, I promise" Said Noah.
The food on the table was certainly expensive, Noah did felt a bit bad about taking it, but the hunger in him could more.
"Don't mention it"
"If it wasn't for you, I would be a corpse by now"
"I own you my life"
"You can ask me whatever you need" Said April.
Noah looked at the serious face of April and knew that she was asking him to let her know his wish.
He didn't have the right to refuse.
He wouldn't either.
Noah looked at April for some seconds.
"I...I want..."
"I want to work..."
"I need money"
He finally said.
"I can do anything"
"Cleaning, cooking, not problem"
"I just... I just hope that my sister can learn some writing and maths"
"Of course, I will pay for the lessons as well"
"We don't need two rooms just one if enough for both, if not, just my sister"
"Please let her stay, I can find a place to sleep, no problem"
April and Hope looked at Noah.
"Why aren't you asking me money?"
"As you can see, what I lack the less is money" Sad April.
"I... I want to earn it..."
"What's more..."
He grabbed the head of Hope to caress her.
"I want to teach her that.... nothing is free in this life" Said Noah.
Noah know had some tools to work.
He was now a magician, so he could start to make plans.
The plan was simple, go to the magic academy, earn some money, and get power.
He would study and work so he and Hope could get their own house.
He would work hard so he could give Hope a good life and when she finds someone she wanted to spend her life with, he would give her everything he had and he would focus on finding a way back home and killing the demon that brought him here in the progress.
And why he didn't go to the magic academy now? well, three were three main reasons.
First, How would he explain that he just woke up as a magician? Magicians were born, not made, what's more, magic was an affinity that was like a sense to magicians, they naturally knew how to use it, that was because they were born with it, so, if a child suddenly appeared and said 'I recently learned that I am a magician' it was equal to say 'I just learned how to breath', preposterous.
Second, let's put us in a situation that he somehow managed to explain that he became a magician... how would he explain his spells? Spells were a magician's soul, nobody, absolutely nobody would teach two powerful spells to a beggar and not ask anything in return, impossible.
And third, Noah was still just a 5-year-old kid, in this world, magicians that could use magic at the age of ten were considered geniuses that will lead the masses, there were some rare cases where geniuses among geniuses were born that could use spells at the age of eight. They would be treated as national treasures and be the envy of other countries.
But what about Noah? who could use two spells at the age of 5?
If he wasn't used as a lab rat, he would be grateful.
That was why people couldn't know that he was a magician.
So, what was the plan?
He would earn money until the age of thirteen and go to the magic academy and said that he was taught by and hermit magician who just passed away and he manage two spells with great effort.
There were some eccentric magicians out there, so a hermit one wouldn't be that much of a surprise and since he wasn't technically a child, he wouldn't be in the spotlight, but, he surely would receive some benefit from the academy.
April looked at Noah for some time before standing up.
She walked towards Noah's sit and she picked him up.
"Wahh...!"
"Ah! April! April! Let go!!" Shouted Noah.
"You are so cute~!"
"Ah! Young mistress, what are you doing!?"
The butlers and maids who were looking at one side panicked because of the sudden action of the ice princess of RiverCloud Academy.
Like that, the breakfast ended with Noah on April's hands and an enraged Hope.
..................................................................................................
Noah was called to the living room in the evening.
There, April was waiting for him.
"Noah, I think I found the perfect job for you" Said April.
"Really!?" Asked Noah happily.
"Yeah"
April smiled and signaled to Noah.
"You will be a teacher"
"But not anyone's teacher"
"You will be MY teacher!"
