250 FAN BOY (1/2)
Just like what she told her cat, Mu Lingxi went straight to Zodiac Arena as soon as Teacher Chao dismissed their Augury class that day.
The moment she arrived at the venue and reported to her first day of work to the management, one of the attendants briefed her about what she needs to do.
It was actually Mu Lingxi's first time entering a sports complex within Majika. As such she was overwhelmed by the grandness of the place.
Outside, the Zodiac Arena does not look any different from the other emporiums and establishments located nearby. It does not even stand out at all because it looks too ordinary, to say the least.
Its exterior design is too plain and simple. The building is painted with all white with a plaque hanging above the entrance of the door saying 'ZODIAC ARENA'.
She thought that the Zodiac arena is just a small establishment, considering the size of the building. But when she went inside she was amazed by what she saw.
The interior of Zodiac Arena is a stark contrast to its plain and unattractive exterior. Inside the establishment, it looked no different from a high-end business.
A gigantic chandelier had been hung in pride of place in the grandiose hallway. The chandelier alone appeared to be worth more than the combined annual income that Mu Lingxi could possibly earn.
It dripped with the best cut diamonds and was made from white gold. Twelve branches stretched out from the central base, each one's is adorned by diamonds.
At the ends of each arm was a small space, just the right size for a thin candle to slot into. The place looked more like a hotel rather than a sports complex. But apparently that is just the lobby used to accept its guests.
Mu Lingxi did not expect that the simple-looking and small building of Zodiac Arena actually house such a luxurious place inside of it.
”This will be your station from now on. All you have to do is make sure that we have enough stocks and supplies of arrows and darts ready. At all times. By the way, my name is Xie Bo.”
The attendant who assisted Mu Lingxi around the place told her everything she needs to know about her job.
”My name is Su Yan. Thank you for helping me out today, Xie Bo. It is nice to meet you.”
”If there is anything you need in the future, just look for me. I'll have to leave you now. I Just temporarily left my station to assist you briefly today.”
”Okay. Thanks again”
”Don't' worry, there are still nine more warlocks that will be working here with you, so you won't be alone. Most probably they were already on their way here. There are a total of ten workers for this hall, five for the darts room and five for the archery room. ”
After saying that Xie Bo took his leave. Since the other nine warlocks have not arrived yet, Mu Lingxi was left all alone inside the vast room.
Looking around her she saw that the place is divided by a hall. The other half of the room has a set of bow and arrows on its station. While the other half has a bunch of sharp-looking objects placed on each station.
Just across each of those stations, a board was placed to set as the target for the shooting range.
There is also a small staff room down the hall where customers can ask for assistance if they need one. It also serves as a small counter where the sports supplies can be refilled if needed.
Each customer will be given a personal attendant that will assist them in refilling their supplies or the weapon every time they were about to use it up. This is done to make sure that their customers will be able to focus on their training.
That is one of Mu Lingxi's job. Whenever a customer is running out of supplies, for example, an arrow, she will have to bring them another set of new arrows.
Supposedly, the job will be a lot easier if they will just inscribe incantations over that tray holding the weapons so that it can refill by itself.
But the Zodiac Arena values its customer service. To the point that they want to provide personal assistance for each of their customers.
This is to make sure that there is always someone around that will accommodate whatever special needs they have.
After a while, the other nine warlocks who will be working with Mu Lingxi finally arrived. Three of them were newbies like Mu Lingxi while the other six were already doing this job for quite some time now.
Just like what Xie Bo said, their group of ten will have t be divided into two, which will be decided among themselves.
Mu Lingxi was assigned to the station in the dart room.
Unlike the typical sports of darts where players used to shoot dart shafts, Zodiac Arena provides its customers with real deadly weapons such as sharp daggers and Kunai knives.
There are two of them in the group that is new to the job so their seniors allowed them to stay inside the staff room in the meantime.
The other three warlocks in their group will be the one to run around and personally assist the customers. While Mu Lingxi and the other newbie will just have to prepare the set of daggers in advance.
Each batch of supplies has a set of 20 daggers in total. Now, their job is to make sure that each batch has enough number of sharpened daggers. They just have to prepare as many batches of daggers ready for a refill later on.
When the Zodiac Arena finally opened up for business that day, the dart room received three customers. Just enough for the three warlocks to assist.
Mu Lingxi did not have any hard time coping with the job. It was too easy and stress-free. In fact, she even finds it a little bit tedious.
All she needs to do is count daggers and sharpen it if needed. Then prepare batches of sharpened daggers ready for a refill.
”I can do it even with my eyes closed... Haaayyyy”
Mu Lingxi said out of boredom. She had been doing the same thing over and over again for almost two hours now. Right now, she felt no different from a robot
”You are Su Yan, right??? I'm Cai Bo..”
