Chapter 906: Intern's Morning
A week later, morning.
Christine opened her eyes.
"Ah, unfamiliar ceiling."
She sighed in her heart.
What came into view was not the familiar structure of the Tower of Radiance dormitory, and this also reminded Christine of the fact that she had graduated from the academy.
She was no longer a green student, but an adult witch about to step into the workplace.
The various preferential treatments she enjoyed because of her student status would no longer exist. She must and can only rely on her own ability to struggle to survive in this world.
And after realizing this, it was as if invisible pressure shrouded her, making her feel a sense of suffocation that she couldn't breathe, followed by a sense of fatigue that made her unable to lift her spirits.
She hadn't rested well for the past few days, or rather, she hadn't rested at all.
For example, last night, she actually only slept for one hour.
This was not because of the poor living environment. In fact, her living environment these past few days had been quite good.
This is the Radiance Territory, the territory of that newly promoted Dragon Queen, and also the future territory of the eldest miss. Even in the entire Dragon Kingdom, this place can be considered a first-tier big city that is relatively wealthy, so the conditions are naturally not bad.
Although this batch of interns had not yet officially joined the job, the eldest miss had generously distributed employee dormitories to them.
Of course, the environment of this employee dormitory is definitely not comparable to the Tower of Radiance of the academy, but it is small and exquisite. Everyone has a single room, and the indoor layout is all available. Although the furniture and furnishings are not brand luxury goods, they are definitely not inferior miscellaneous brands. The quality is all hard, and basically, you can move in with your bags.
And considering the prosperity of the Radiance Territory and the conditions of this dormitory location, the rent for this kind of room is actually something that an fresh graduate like her absolutely cannot afford.
Generally, fresh graduates like her from families that are not wealthy go directly to rent cheap old broken houses in the outer city, and then get up early every morning to fly a long distance to punch in for work in the prosperous area.
What, you say you can take the city's teleportation portal?
Come on, although the single teleportation fee is not very expensive, if you take it back and forth every day, it is also a considerable expense over time.
And witches can fly themselves, and the flight speed is enough. Then why not fly to work? You can use the mana that can be naturally restored. If you eat without exercise, you will get fat. Appropriate exercise can lose weight.
However, fortunately, this kind of miserable social animal life in the expectation did not fall on Christine, because Star Industry provides food and housing. Even if this dormitory environment is unexpectedly good, the eldest miss still did not charge them for accommodation.
"Ah, how can I be so slack with such good treatment? Get up, I can continue to liver."
Thinking of this, Christine jumped up from the bed like a carp.
Hmm, she is only twenty years old. How can she sleep at this age? If she doesn't struggle now, does she struggle when she is old?
Today is the assessment settlement day; as long as I can get a good ranking later, then the all-nighters and hard work of this week will all be worth it.
With the operation of mana around her body, the fatigue on her body dissipated, and she soon became energetic again.
"Hehe, the witch's inhuman physique is really convenient. If I liver like this before, I would have died suddenly."
The original witch thought so in her heart.
Unlike other witches who were born as witches, Christine was originally a human. She awakened her power little by little during the growth process and finally became a witch.
Christine still remembers things when she was a human, although this was already something from more than ten years ago, but the witch's powerful memory made those past memories still clear.
She snapped her fingers, and the witch's life series magic was activated, easily helping her complete the washing work, which was much more convenient and faster than the service of maids in the past.
However, in the washroom, Christine looked at her reflection in the mirror in front of her, and then her gaze moved down to her chest.
A pure gold pendant had been hanging around her neck.
For mortals, this kind of pure gold pendant is a very expensive and luxurious jewelry that only nobles and rich merchants can afford, but in the Witch World, this kind of ordinary gold and silver jewelry is the cheapest junk.
Hmm, compared to those high-level jewelry worn by classmates from wealthy families she had seen in the academy, which used the world as materials and picked stars, moons, and even suns as embellishments, this pure gold pendant is indeed not presentable.
Honestly, this ordinary necklace appearing on the neck of a young big witch with a bright future is actually a bit inappropriate, and it really doesn't match her strength and beauty.
But she never had the intention to change this necklace.
"Father, Mother, it's been a few years since I saw you. I don't know how you are doing. I have graduated and found a good job. I will go to see you when I settle down."
Christine opened the exquisitely structured pendant and whispered so.
The pendant contained a group photo, in which a handsome and majestic man intimately hugged a beautiful woman, and in front of them was a cute girl who looked like a doll, with colorful long hair that looked like a rainbow.
She closed the pendant again, and then stuffed the pendant into the collar, letting it naturally fall into the soft abyss and be well protected.
However, the contact between the cold metal and the delicate, sensitive skin also gave Christina a jolt, but her brain, which had been somewhat chaotic from continuous overtime for the past few days, became a bit clearer because of this.
Although those ordinary human parents couldn't provide her with any help, the original witch suddenly felt full of strength again.
She opened the door and walked out.
A few minutes later, the canteen of Star Industry.
"Here, here."
Christine had just lined up and received her breakfast, and was thinking of finding a dining table to sit down and enjoy, when the familiar shouting not far away made her look up, and soon she saw her two teammates.
Senior Dai Na and Akina.
It was the petite dwarf witch who was shouting, and she was beckoning to the original witch.
Christine had to carry the dining tray and walk over. Seeing her coming, Senior Dai Na Senior moved her butt aside and made space for her.
"Uh, Akina Senior, are you eating so much again?"
The original witch looked at the dining table that could seat four people and was almost filled with food. Although this was not the first time she had seen it in the past few days, she still couldn't help but ask.
Hmm, the reason why Senior Dai Na Senior moved her position to let her sit beside her was entirely because Akina Senior's side really couldn't sit anymore. In front of her were food for at least five or six people.
"Because it's really delicious. I don't know where the canteen chef came from. This craft is really unique. Obviously, they are all the same kitchen magic of the Forest Witch, why is the gap between people so big?"
Akina had a bun, a fried dough stick, and a sip of soy milk, and finally answered while busy.
For what she said, Christine quite agreed, because the craft of this Star Industry canteen was indeed the most delicious she had ever eaten, even better than some high-end restaurants in the Witch Academy.
Of course, the most critical thing is that it is free and unlimited.
Christine's appetite had also increased greatly in recent days, which made her feel that she seemed to have gained a little weight.
"Akina, deliciousness also needs to be moderate, okay? You are almost eating from a dwarf to a dwarf."
Senior Dai Na Senior on the side also said helplessly.
Although the food on the dining tray in front of this elf witch was also much more than the daily portion in the past, her good self-control made her not as indulgent as the companion opposite.
Hmm, the dwarf classmate who was originally petite and cute is now developing horizontally and is almost becoming a thick dwarf classmate. She eats so much that her neck is almost invisible.
"Tsk, how can it be so exaggerated? Look at my witch's body shaping spell."
Akina Senior was a bit dissatisfied with the protest, but after looking at her strong hands, she tried to snap her fingers.
Thus, with a "duang," the fat on her body trembled and began to shrink, fold, and disappear. Soon, the little fat girl who was like a tree stump was transformed into a petite, cute, and beautiful loli again.
"Praise the great Forest Witch, the savior of our fat-prone physique, Forest Gate."
The dwarf witch summoned an ice mirror to look at herself, and then prayed devoutly with her hands clasped together.
After praying, she continued to eat.
Christine: "..."
Looking at the dwarf senior who began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye again, the original witch was silent.
"Alright, Christine, don't worry about her. This guy is just too nervous. She loves to overeat to vent her emotions."
Senior Dai Na Senior also rolled her eyes and said so to the original witch.
Christine nodded when she heard this.
Yes, it's the deadline for the internship assessment soon. It's definitely a lie to say she's not nervous.
Although the eldest miss said before that the results of this assessment would not affect everyone's joining Star Industry, any fool knows that such words cannot be taken seriously. If the assessment really doesn't affect anything, then there wouldn't be an assessment.
Whether to be an obscure bottom-level employee for a lifetime, or to be focused on cultivation and become a true backbone member of Star Industry, the difference is huge.
And everyone is an excellent graduate of the Witch Academy, a genius who stood out from hundreds of millions of classmates. No one is willing to degenerate into an ordinary employee. They gave up the recruitment of major associations and ran here, just to seek a great future for themselves in this newly created but definitely world-famous Star Industry.
"Senior Dai Na, aren't you nervous?"
Christine asked the elf witch beside her.
She admired the calmness of this sister who was always so intellectual and calm. This is something she couldn't learn.
"Nervous, naturally nervous. I'm much more nervous than you. I'm a fanatical fan of the eldest miss, okay? I'm very afraid of losing face in front of my idol."
Senior Dai Na pushed the single-lens glasses on her face and said so.
It's just that when she said this, there was still a smile on her face, and she really didn't look nervous at all.
The original witch, who originally wanted to seek comfort, was even more nervous.
Come on, senior, you are just a fanatical fan of the eldest miss, but Clown Lord is really my boss. If I lose face this time, I will be laughed at by my Inquisitor colleagues later.
The Element Empress thought so in her heart.
"Then senior, you could have entered the All-Seeing Eye, right? Is it really not a pity to give up years of effort like this?"
She had to change the subject.
Behind the True Sight Eye association is the All-Seeing Eye, which is a special agency responsible for witch identity and rank registration management. The power and treatment are not inferior to the Inquisition, and they are all upper-level civil servants.
And Senior Dai Na Senior, as the president of the True Sight Eye, should have entered the All-Seeing Eye as soon as she graduated, and could also get special cultivation and soon reach the peak of life.
But she suddenly gave up this treatment that others envied and couldn't get, and suddenly came to this Star Industry with an internship recommendation letter; this was truly a bit risky.
This is different from Senior Sister A Jin Na next to her.
Behind the Silver Key club is the Alchemy Association; although it is also a management organization for alchemy witches, the factions within the association are numerous and somewhat complicated.
And Senior Sister A Jin Na's family society, the Silver Ring, is already a relatively strong faction within the Alchemy Association, so this gnome classmate has a way out.
Even if she can't make it in Star Industry, she can still go back to inherit the family business and become a senior executive of the Alchemy Association.
But the Eye of All-Seeing will not give Senior Sister Dai Na a second chance; she has no regret medicine to eat.
Anyway, in Christina's view, this elf witch classmate is really a bit too much of a gambler; no matter how much she is infatuated with the Young Lady, she shouldn't give up her future just to chase a star.
And hearing the Primordial Witch's inquiry, Dai Na was stunned for a moment, then reached out and scratched her cheek.
"That, actually, I also have a family business to inherit; I can barely be considered a Hunting Saint of the Crescent Arrow."
Christina: "..."
The Primordial Witch was silent.
Crescent Arrow, the strongest battle group of elf witches, even in the entire Witch World, it is a top-tier battle group that can rank in the top fifty, considered the strongest T1 battle group below the T0 battle groups of the three great royal families, with a ranking similar to the famous Wild Hunt.
Good fellow, Senior Sister Dai Na, you hid deep enough; who would have thought that you, this gentle and intellectual top student, actually came from that top-tier battle group famous for rangers and hunters.
Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier; after all, Senior Sister Dai Na's template is the rare Moon Elf, which is almost the signature template of the Crescent Arrow.
Now the clown is myself.
So you rich second generations are not inheriting your good family businesses, but running here to grab rice bowls from us poor fresh graduates, right?
Christina looked up at the window in silence.
From the cafeteria window, one can overlook the Wonder Workshop not far away, and since a few days ago, this newly built workshop has already started to operate; the massive mana fluctuations and various forging roars made their group of interns itch with impatience, but they didn't dare to ask more.
The Primordial Witch looked at the workshop and suddenly calmed down.
Hmm, thinking from another angle, these rich second-generation classmates are now standing on the same starting line as her.
This is an era of great contention, a brand-new era is almost about to arrive.
The future me, Christina, may not necessarily be unable to become a new noble family.
She thought so in her heart.
"Will I really win?"
She asked herself this in her heart.
"I will win."
She asked and answered herself like this again.
She not only has confidence in herself, but even more confidence in the Young Lady.
She believes that the Clown Lord she follows will be the absolute protagonist of that new era.
Christina remembered a sentence her father the Emperor had once taught her.
"True success certainly cannot be separated from personal struggle, but more importantly, it depends on the choice of the era; sometimes choosing well is more important than anything else."
And now even those ancient noble families have invested in advance, which further proves that she chose correctly.
Hmm, it's a sure win.
Assessment exam in progress...
