Versatile Mage: Starting Contract Groudon

Chapter 38: Extra-curricular Demon Hunter

…………

"Oh, you want to be our Qingtian Hunting House's demon hunter?" The little beauty finally put down the book in her hand, raised her creamy face, looked at Zhao Tingxi with a pair of big eyes that sparkled with wisdom, and finally showed a bit of doubt and said, "You are so young, are you qualified for this job?"

duang!

Zhao Tingxi's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

I am young???

Little girl, why don’t you talk about yourself? You are at most twelve years old, right? ? ?

"Lingling, is there someone to entrust?" At this time, an old man's voice came from the room.

"Grandpa, you're here to apply for a job, but you're too young, so we don't want you." Lingling said this to the inside of the house, then continued to read with her head down.

"It's good to be young. You don't have to be afraid of anything. It's just a pity to die. You haven't experienced the good life yet!"

Suddenly, Lingling raised her head again and said to the people in the room, "By the way, Grandpa, he said that he was recommended by his teacher, and there is a letter of recommendation. Would you like to take a look?"

"Was he recommended by his teacher?" The old man inside was obviously stunned.

Old Man Bao stopped reading the newspaper. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that none of his old friends had recommended any students to him recently.

"Tell him to show me the letter of recommendation!"

"Letter of recommendation." Lingling stretched out her hand to Zhao Tingxi to ask for a letter of recommendation. That little expression was so cute.

It provokes crime!
Fortunately, Zhao Tingxi doesn't like this, otherwise he would have been killed by old man Bao now.

"Here!" Zhao Tingxi handed the letter of recommendation to Lingling.

Lingling took the recommendation letter and said, "Please wait outside for a while."

"Boy, come in!"

Soon, Old Man Bao's voice came from inside.

After hearing the voice, Zhao Tingxi hurried in.

After walking in, Zhao Tingxi saw Old Man Bao sitting on an armchair, and Lingling pulled a stool and sat next to Old Man Bao.

"Please sit down and don't be nervous." Old Man Bao looked at the recommendation letter while drinking tea from a cup.

How the hell is it possible not to be nervous?
Zhao Tingxi kept complaining in his heart. There was a Forbidden Spell Master sitting in front of him. How could he not be nervous? This was the first time he was so close to a Forbidden Spell Master.

Zhao Tingxi sat down a little stiffly.

"Old Lu recommended you here. I still have great faith in Old Lu's vision. There are few people he chooses who are wrong. And Old Man Bao said that you are also a mid-level mage, a mid-level poison mage." Old Man Bao first praised him.

Generally speaking, it starts with praise, and then comes the turning point.

As expected: "It's great to reach the intermediate level at this age, but the problem is that you are the intermediate level of the poison system. You should know that poison mages have poor frontal combat capabilities. Although our hunting ground doesn't attach much importance to these, if the frontal combat capability is too poor, it will be difficult to survive in our hunting ground. You should understand what I mean, right?" How could Zhao Tingxi not hear what old man Bao meant? This was obviously a rejection of him, but he might have considered Dean Lu's face and didn't say it directly.

"Also, we have relatively few positions in our hunting grounds, and we have always been one person per position. If we don't have enough manpower, we won't hire anyone. I hope you can understand this."

Old Man Bao rejected Zhao Tingxi, but Zhao Tingxi had to fight for a chance for himself: "Master, no matter what you say, you have to give me a chance, right? Dean Lu said that my strength is at the middle level of poison, but my plant system is also at the middle level, although I just broke through. One is poison and the other is plant, I think this strength should not be bad, right?"

"How about you see if I still have a chance?"

"Intermediate level of dual-element?" Old Man Bao touched his chin. "Intermediate level of dual-element is indeed not bad, especially at your age. You have the talent and the combat capability. A student of your strength should not necessarily become a demon hunter, right?"

Zhao Tingxi smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know this. I'm from Bo City, and I hate demons to the core. So I want strength, but to be strong I need resources to practice. Being a demon hunter is definitely the profession that can help me the most. The demon hunting teams in the Magic City don't look down on my strength, so I can only come to you to try my luck..."

Zhao Tingxi spoke with great emotion, almost crying.

"Tsk..." Old Man Bao clicked his tongue and fell into a brief thought.

“Rules are rules, and generally speaking, they are hard to break. The main reason is that there is no suitable partner for you. Otherwise, you could come.” Old Man Bao relaxed a little.

He could tell that Zhao Tingxi was not lying and that what he said was all from the heart. Such a person is very suitable to be a demon hunter, at least at this stage.

"It's okay, I can do it alone." Zhao Tingxi said quickly: "I don't need a partner, I just need an identity, and it's enough for me to have suitable monster hunting commissions sent to me."

Zhao Tingxi's requirements can be said to be very low, basically: as long as he can keep this job, everything else is fine.

Since Zhao Tingxi said so, Old Man Bao agreed to Zhao Tingxi's request: "Okay, from now on, you will be a non-staff monster hunter of our Qingtian Hunting Institute. The rest of your treatment will be similar to ours, except that you won't have a partner."

"No problem. I'm used to being a lone ranger."

"Okay!" Old Man Bao stood up and walked to the front desk booth, took out a commission and handed it to Zhao Tingxi: "Since you said so, I just happen to have a commission that suits you."

"Leave it to me!" Zhao Tingxi took the commission from Old Man Bao without any hesitation.

"This is your first commission, and I hope you can complete it well. If you don't complete it well, I have reason to fire you, because this is the simplest commission, so simple that no one on my side bothers to take the time to do it."

“I will take this seriously!”

"Okay, get ready and go. I'll have Lingling send you the detailed information about this commission this afternoon."

"no problem!"

After saying that, Zhao Tingxi left.

After Zhao Tingxi left, Lingling asked in confusion: "Grandpa, why did you accept someone with such strength?"

Old Man Bao smiled and said, "He is a natural demon hunter. He needs a platform to help him. I think he has a good character. I can consider this as an advance investment. We often have some commissions to eliminate demons here. It's just right that we can take on these commissions."
