“Let’s go, time to eat.”

In a rare display of affection, Link gently tousled Jasmine’s hair, softly urging her to join him on his way to the canteen.

“Wait for me.”

jasmine stood frozen in place, touched her head, utterly stunned and unable to believe what just happened.

Could this stiff person really do such a thing?

Moments later, she shook off her shock, shouted out loud and followed him, asking in puzzlement, “Link, you’re acting strange today, why are you suddenly so gentle to me? You weren’t like this before.

Link just smiled and didn’t respond.

The smear campaign initiated by Harold Andrews not only victimized Link, it

also victimized Jasmine Kidman.

A little girl, though tall and well-developed for her age, was only 12 years old –

a sensitive age.

Suddenly, people were slandering her out of nowhere, calling her an opportunist for fawning over Link Grande, selling her colors, and insinuating that she had done unspeakable things behind the scenes…

Those words were as difficult to hear as they could be.

Equating to pointing directly at Jasmine, calling her a strumpet wasn’t too far off.

Initially, Jasmine was truly outraged.

But since she couldn’t fire back on the “forum”, and couldn’t find the culprit behind it all, she had to swallow her anger.

She later immersed herself in research and experimentation, disregarding and not bothering about the rumors and slander. Only then did she stop being troubled.

However, the damage had already been done, and it was not insignificant.

Although Link had already dealt with Harold Andrews, the malicious words on the “forum” and the prejudice against the new blood could not be removed immediately.

The prejudices in people’s hearts were like a mountain. No matter how hard you tried, you could not move it.

jasmine Kidman’s image, after Harold Andrews released those blurry candid photos and concocted vicious rumors, inevitably collapsed.

It was almost impossible to rebuild.

Although Link didn’t care about the opinions of others, what about Jasmine?

She was still young, psychologically immature, and not good at handling stress. The grievances in her heart must have been overflowing.

Link felt somewhat guilty about this situation.

Harold Andrews was clearly targeting Link.

This time, Jasmine was just an innocent bystander, but the impact and damage she suffered were enormous.

Therefore, Link made a rare conciliatory gesture.

Canteen.

During dinner, Jasmine would occasionally steal glances at Link, obviously still in a state of confusion.

Link did not explain his reasons and continued to eat quietly.

After filling their stomachs, it was already late, and it wasn’t suitable to visit the library again.

Link proposed to go for a walk inside the college with Jasmine, to help digest their meal.

This truly shocked Jasmine once again.

“You’ve changed, Link!”

On the shady path, Jasmine crossed her arms and pretended to tremble in fear, saying weakly, “You’re scaring me, I feel like if I let this go on, I’ll end up being devoured by you.”

“Childish!”

Link rolled his eyes at Jasmine, lost for words.

Again with this nonsense, she was going to get scolded.

Ignoring Jasmine’s dramatic display, Link switched gears and asked, “What did you do today? How was it?”

jasmine rolled her eyes, but she was already used to his abrupt change of topic, and replied, “I familiarized myself with the germination and cultivation of several common plants in the laboratory in the morning, and practiced witchcraft in the afternoon, focusing on the Earth Shield and Earth Wall Techniques.”

Upon hearing about the Earth Wall Technique, Link now had something to say. He immediately analyzed the reasons behind Harold Andrews’ failure with the Earth Wall Technique and explained them to her.

After listening, Jasmine seemed thoughtful and greatly inspired.

Defensive witchcraft techniques were for saving life.

The fewer weaknesses, the more secure it will be.

As the night deepened and they finished discussing the Earth Wall Technique, Link escorted Jasmine back.

Dormitory, study room.

Upon returning, Link cleaned himself up, changed his clothes, then sat at his desk, reflecting on everything that had gone on today, introspecting.

There was no issue with the trip to Ravensmouth City,

There were no problems with entering the West District and the Black Market, There was no problem with seizing the opportunity to kill Harold Andrews. The only problematic incident was when Wizard Palo took the initiative to recommend a part-time job.

Link was not at all doubting Wizard Palo’s intentions or motives.

He was simply recollecting that Wizard Palo had offered assistance twice, both times after Link had made a name for himself.

This clarified an important principle.

That was, the rule of conduct to ‘be humble in personal life but high-profile in public’ was undeniably correct and highly suitable.

Blindly laying low might offer safety, might help avoiding many troubles, but it would also prevent one from seizing many resources, supports and benefits.

“Keep working hard, never give up!”

After pumping himself up, Link stopped reflecting. He started deep meditation before going to sleep.

The next day, in the early morning.

Link took the metro rail and arrived at East District of Ravensmouth City.

He got off at the station closest to the potion shop Wizard Palo had mentioned, and reached his destination within five minutes.

It was still early, and the shop was not yet open.

Link sat down on the bench by the street, waiting quietly for the shop to open for the interview.

Half an hour later, a hover car pulled into the parking area designated for the shop and stopped.

A female wizard with wavy burgundy hair and a graceful, charming figure stepped out of the hover car.

“Link Grande?”

The wavy-haired witch glanced at Link sitting on the bench and said, “You can call me Serene Wizard. Come with me.”

“Good morning, Serene Wizard.”

Link promptly stood up and politely greeted her.

The interview had started from the moment she spoke.

“I don’t hire loafers.”

As they walked into the shop, Serene Wizard bluntly said with a commanding aura,

“Even with a recommendation from Palo, if you’re not up to the mark, you’ll be sent packing.”

Link stayed silent.

If you don’t know how to respond to such comments, then it’s best to not respond at all.

When a manager is establishing authority and offering guidance, subordinates simply need to listen and shouldn’t oppose unless it concerns personal rust or family honour.

“I have three part-time positions available: a guide, a potion distribution assistant, and a botany worker responsible for preliminary processing of plants and herbs.”

Serene Wizard led Link through the exquisitely decorated, elegantly furnished lobby, past a staircase and several rooms with diverse functions, to the backyard.

While they moved, Serene Wizard further said, “Wizard Palo mentioned that although you’ve only completed one term, you have a lot of talent in botany. He believes I should give you an opportunity.”

As she spoke, Serene Wizard stopped in her tracks and, looking into Link’s eyes, gravely asked, “Do you believe yourself to be worthy of such an opportunity?”

Link did not shy away from her gaze, and calmly responded, “I believe that I have sufficient talent in botany, I have that confidence.”

“Good that you’re confident.”

Serene Wizard’s lips curled into a light smile, exuding mature charm, and looked enchantingly beautiful.

“YOU have a competitor for the position. The trial period is three days, whoever performs better stays.”

“I hope it’s you.”

Where did this competitor spring up from?

Link was puzzled deep inside.

Who is it?
