Volume 7 Chapter 30 - I Want To Learn Magic!

Rodman looked at Enrique who had a stubborn look on his face and gave a helpless sigh.

Once his youngest son grew up, he began going against his father’s words.

“You really aren’t willing to go?” Rodman anked in a deep voice.

“I won’t!” Enrique loudly said, “What meaning is there learning carpentry from uncle? I want to learn magic!”

“But you don’t have a talent for magic, didn’t magician Musuto tell you in town last time?” Rodman kept trying to change his mind.

“Humph! He was lying!” Enrique waved the newspaper in his hand again, “It even says on here that anyone can learn magic! Why can’t I?”

Rodman looked at the «Candra Times» in Enrique’s hand with a headache and he gave a bitter laugh deep down.

This damn Xu Yi, this damn Frestech Chamber of Commerce, why did they have to give that damn opinion that “everyone had a talent for magic”. Enrique who had lost his passion for magic, now wanted to study magic again.

Magician Musuto had clearly said that Enrique didn’t have any talent for magic at all. He couldn’t even learn the most basic spell in a week, so how could he become a powerful magician?

However, after Enrique had read the report in this newspaper, it was like he had received a decree from god. He wouldn’t change his mind and kept shouting that he wanted to learn magic, not changing his mind about not going to learn carpentry from his uncle like Rodman had arranged.

In Rodman’s eyes, was studying magic useful?

Even if Xu Yi and his Frestech Chamber of Commerce was right, that Enrique really had the hope of learning magic, since magician Musuto had said that he didn’t have any talent for it, then even if Enrique insisted on learning magic, he couldn’t become a powerful magician.

If he couldn’t become a powerful magician, Rodman thought that there was no use learning it at all.

Instead of wasting time on this, it was better to learn carpentry. If he could learn it well, he might not be able to become rich, but at least he wouldn’t have to worry about food and shelter.

However, Enrique still had a look of disdain after hearing what Rodman told him.

“Dad, you’ve fallen behind! Who told you that it’s useless if you can’t become a High Grade Magician?” Enrique patted the newspaper in his hands, “Look, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is recruiting a bunch of Low Grade Magicians and the requirements aren’t high at all. Moreover, look at what it says. After you enter the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, your lowest wage is twenty gold coins a month, isn’t this much better than learning carpentry from uncle?”

“Is that so?” Rodman narrowed his eyes as he looked at the newspaper, but since he couldn’t read, naturally he couldn’t tell if what Enrique said was true or not.

But he had heard people say that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce always gave their workers a high wage. If it was for magicians, it was natural that their wages would be a bit higher than normal workers, so it isn’t strange at all if it was more than twenty gold coins a month.

“Alright, of course it’s good if you can work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce after graduating. However, Enrique, it’s a problem if you can learn or not. The more important question is, where will you learn?”

“To……” Enrique was stunned and he couldn’t reply.

Although he had heard that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had set up a Frestech Academy, specializing in teaching normal people magic and magic machine theory, the Stantine Duchy that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was based in was two thousand kilometers away from this small village in the Candra Empire. How could Enrique go all the way there to learn?

After thinking a bit, Enrique clenched his fists and loudly said, “I’ll go to the Stantine Duchy!”

Rodman didn’t say anything as he looked at him.

After a while, Enrique lowered his head again.

Because he knew that this was impossible.
