READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 8: Chapter-8 Quick Reading
Eh?
Eh?
So, the favor you just owed must be paid back so soon? Mary Triest was a little confused.
She suddenly realised that she seemed to have fallen into a hole had dug.
But when she saw the boy's sweet smile, the clerk immediately changed her mind.
If you think about it carefully, working with such a cute boy is actually not a bad idea.
What's more, he has the same talent as the famous Newt Scamander .
It should be very convenient for this kind of person to take care of magical animals. As a result, kaizo found his first job taking care of animals at the Fantastic Beasts shop.
Since it is only a part time job, the working hours range from 3 to 5 hours a day, as long as the tasks are completed.
The daily wage is 3 sickles. The exchange rate in the wizarding world is really troublesome, 1 galleon is 17 sickles, 1 sickles is 29 knuts.
I don't know which little genius invented this messy conversion. Do you like prime numbers so much? Considering the level of mathematics, wizards have always burnt such books and harassed such scholars who were good in it.
Kaizo seriously thinks that this was done to make things difficult for these stupid wizards. All in all, it was not a bad wage for a child laborer. Calculated, that's 5 galleons and 8 sickles in one month, and he'll have earned back the wand money in two months.
"Well first, let's start by cleaning up the animals."
The female clerk raised her wand in front of kaizo as a demonstration, said while pointing to a cage with a cat in front of him."Scourgify". In an instant, all the cat hair and feces in the cage automatically flew into a bucket, and the entire cage looked as good as new.
"Try to use it Mr. Grindel," the clerk put away ger wand and said"You may only be to clean a small area at first, but if you practice it, you should be able to clean the whole room entirely."
Kaizo nodded and raised his wand to point at snother cage containing dirt. "Scourgify". With his incredible understanding, he successfully used this spell on his first try, leaving the clerk stunned.
"Well... you learn really fast. You should have used this spell at home before, right? Okay, then what we are going to learn is the "tergeo" cleaning spell. Unlike scourgify, this spell is better at dealing with liquid waste..."
....
Since it was his first time to start working, he needed mary's demonstration and teaching. Kaizo stayed busy until four in the afternoon before finishing work and returning to the Leaky Cauldron.
"How are you today, kid?" Old tom asked with concern."Great, Mr.Tom, I found a job." Kaizo beamed. "Ah, that's great!" Tom nodded and handed kaizo a glass of butterbeer. "This is to celebrate your first job. So, what job did you find?" Tom asked after kaizo took a long gulp of butterbeer.
"I work part time at the Fantastic Beasts shop."
"Fantastic Beasts shop, that's great, what exactly do you do?
"Feeding, grooming, cleaning... I do everything, but the most important thing is cleaning their cages. These little guys are so unhygienic that they always make themselves dirty with their own feces accidentally."
"This is really not a good job." Old tom shook his head. He could imagine what a dirty environment it was.
"For a little wizard like me who has not even entered Hogwarts School, this is enough. Not only can I learn a lot of magical animal knowledge, but I also learned a few new spells."
As he spoke, kaizo waved his magical wand:"Scourgify". In an instant, a tabletop that has not yet been cleaned became completely clean.
"That way, my job with Mr. Tom will be much easier." Ah, this kid is still eager for the job I gave him. Old Tom found that he had begun to like this child.
Children who are more mature and optimistic at a young age, are always able to respond positively to difficulties,and don't blame others or anyone else, such children will surely become great talents in the future.
So, in the days that followed, Kaizo's part time career began.
The work at the Fantastic Beasts shop is tedius and difficult. There are many kinds of magical animals there, such color changing giant snails, fire crabs, owls, ravens, cats of various colors, deformed rabbits and so on.
Each animal has different eating habbit and living habitat. Naturally, food arrangements and other work must also be treated differently. For the average person, just remembering the habits of different animals requires a lot of thinking.
But one of the by-products of the incredible understanding is absolute memory. It's easy to remember what cats and dogs eat. No matter what happens, kaizo can ask them personally.
Just like a person drinking water, he knows whether he prefers warm or cold water. For him, it's just a matter of asking if those animals are full or thirsty.
So soon, the clerk was full of praise for his work and believed that his work ability was no worse than that of adult wizards. But kaizo was not satisfied with this.
It takes him about 2-3 hours to complete the daily work of Fantastic Beasts shop. The remaining time can be used to accept more challenges.
Compared with Muggle society, which has entered urbanization, the wizarding world is still in the acquaintance society due to its overall backwardness and low population base.
In a society of acquaintances, a person's credibility is not determined by files, but by the endorsement of people he knows. Now, kaizo is discovering the benefits of having someone endorse him.
Since receiving good reviews from mary triest, a clerk at the Fantastic Beasts shop, other stores have gradually relaxed their restrictions on him. So next, he found jobs at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, and the potions pharmacy, Slugs and Giggs store.
This not only increased his daily salary to 8 sickles, but also allowed him to learn a lot of new knowledge that could not be learned in books.
For example, at Slugs Pharmacy, kaizo learned many basics of potions. Incuded but not limited to how to handle basic materials, such as slicing materials, grinding powder, squeezing juice, etc. For this purpose, kaizo also learned the cutting spell.
After working this summer, kaizo believes that there will be no chance of the old bat causing him trouble in the future potion class. In addition, kaizo also saw a lot of advanced potion materials.
For example, bicorn horns, african tree snake skins, dragon blood, etc. Of course, for this type of of material, he only learned about the relevant properties and uses, and did not know how to handle it himself.
With his meager salary, if something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to afford it even if he worked for another year. Overall, the dispensary is as tedius as the Fantastic Beasts shop.
Every time kaizo walks out of the potions shop, he always smells weird, ranging from slug mucus to amphora juice. He has to clean himself up with magic several times.
Compared with the first two, the work at Flourish and Blotts is much cleaner.
At Flourish and Blotts, much of Kaizo's work is to organize the books. For example, you can find a certain kind of book from the warehouse and put it on the shelf, or you can search for a rather unpopular book at the request of the customer.
The work is very simple, and even after work, kaizo can read a few books. But for kaizo, this job brought him the best surprise. Because at work, kaizo learned several new spells.
[Transcription:Copying a document into another book.]
[Reading Magic:Reading and understanding the magic words on books and items.]
[Language Comprehending:You can understand what creatures say, or read text messages that are originally incomprehensible. It can also take effect on texts containing special powers(such as paresoltongue texts, abyssal texts, etc.)]
[Scholar's Touch:You can use this spell to touch and absorb the knowledge in the book.]
In short, they are all spells which are pretty useful.
[Language Comprehension] allows kaizo to understand all languages. The so-called masters who are proficient in more languages must be regarded poor in knowledge in the face of language comprehension.
[Reading Magic] allows kaizo to understand various magical texts, which mde him ecstatic.
[Scholars Touch] allows kaizo to store knowledge directly in his mind without spending any time reading.
Of course, this kind of storage is just storage. If you want to fully understand and master it, you need to spend some time to understand it.
But that's enough.
With the help of his heaven defying understanding, all these new spells became passive abilities like [Charming Humans], which can be actively used without casting spells.
After that, kaizo cherished his job at Flourish and Blotts even more. In his mind, he only needs to touch the contents of the book to remember them.
This ability is the most convenient for free prostitution. So kaizo circled the bookshelf all day long, like a scanner, copying the entire bookstore in his mind.
For this reason, he even considered quitting his other two part-time jobs and focusing more on Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
However, because the summer vacation was still long, he had plenty of time to scan books, so he gave up. As kaizo continues to work, time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, the scool opening season is coming.
