51 Spirit Garden Section (2/2)
”Don't bring that up, they actually kicked me out.”
Yore tightly clenched his hands in frustration when he thought of the humiliation he went through.
”un-huh what kicked you out”
Quinn was in utter disbelief he has never heard kicking some from a job, though there were penalties and fines for damages caused due to negligence he never came heard about stopping someone from taking tasks.
”It's that hateful Jordan he used the….”
After hearing the whole story Quinn had an intense craving for laughing out aloud; but somehow he contained himself taking Yore's wounded heart into consideration.
It turned out that Yore's laziness screw out many jobs he took giving himself a proud track record of screwing up; Jordan the student in charge of the project was willing to take his chances with Yore so naturally he kicked him out. Though Quinn found it fully logical and completely reasonable he didn't point it as it would be rubbing salt on the wound.
Quinn half-heartedly comforted Yore before getting to his plot; he returned after 3 hours of intense work, fully covered in sweat and dirt. Though his attire was sloppy and filthy his eyes were shining like stars, this was the satisfaction he got from earning through hard work, something he longed for the past 5 years.
He had to take a bath in the school public bathroom before going to Oiya's class.
Weeding is actually one of most difficult jobs in Spirit Garden; he had to carefully check the details to prevent plucking the weed as they weeds were of all sizes and varieties.
Plucking weeds weren't easy job either as all the plants grown and fertilized with special spirit matures; it gave lots of benefits while strengthening the plants which were also observed by these weeding helping them to firmly root to soil.
Quinn must exert the tons of pressure with precise control to avoid damaging the plants growing near the weeds to successfully pluck a weed. Putting out such power with extreme precision would suck anyone dry irrelevant of their stamina.
After a soothing hot bath Quinn rushed to Oiya's class; it was just a few minutes by the Flying Cloud. The class started after Quinn payed the rip off price of 15 credits with great unwillingness; in fact, his class was the highest paid among his roommates but his mastery was also the lowest amongst his friends.
The class went on as usual, Oiya appeared a white phantom and thought Quinn while solving his doubts in between the lecture. At the end she gave a demonstration, unlike the first time Quinn didn't loose himself in her magical performance; instead he was observed with extreme focus as if he was trying to etch in his mind.
One thing noteworthy, was that Grandma Oiya informed Quinn that his breakthrough to Mastery Stage 3 Greater Accomplishment was around the corner and he would gain 12 abilities after this breakthrough.
But what came next really crushed Quinn, it turned out that after Mastery Stage 3 Greater Accomplishment his Instruction Class fees was going to be increased by 5 credits becoming 20 credits per class. It was just an announcement and not an offer, thus no bargaining.
Quinn felt clouds looming over as the flew to his dorm all the happiness built with the nearing breakthrough instantly dissipated after that news. Fortunately for Quinn, Elgar had a good news waiting for him, a news good enough to completely dissolve his current gloomy face.
