Chapter 278 - First Spys Assignment (2) (1/2)

”Why do you want to join this job?” A man asked.

”Currently, I am unemployed, and I need money. Then, I saw the flier for this job and the pay was good. So, I applied for this job.” A man with a long scar on his cheek answered the question.

The interviewer frowned, then he followed up with another question, ”Do you have any experience in this kind of job?”

”Yes, once, I have been a guard for a noble's son party.” The man with the scar then explained his duty.

Then, the interviewer asked several more questions in which the man with scar answered confidently.

”Well, then. You have passed the interview process. You can go to the next test. In truth, we don't really need a mage, but who knows if the leader changed his mind. Here, take the proof for passing the interview! Next!” The interviewer handed a paper with passed stamp and called out for the next applicant.

The man with the scar was Auron. Using the tool that the intelligence division provided, he altered his face and voice for a bit. He gave a long injury across his cheek. Then, he also made his voice huskier.

Auron had come to the recruitment for the merchant caravan's guards. And, there were actually two tests each of the applicants had to pass. The first one was the interview test, which Auron just passed. The second one was a skill test.

Auron was waiting for his turn to be called to take the test. After waiting for several minutes, his name was called, ”Savage Sickle, come take the test!”

In the intelligence division, there was a tool to change the character's name. However, the device could not be carried outside of the intelligence division. Which was why every time the spy would go out for a mission, they would change their character's name once.

Then, they would assume the identity given throughout the entire mission. After the spies finished their task, they would come back and changed their names again. Savage Sickle was what Auron chose among the identity provided by the intelligence division.

Since he was called, Auron stood up and went to the test site. There was another fierce-looking man at the test site. He was the leader of this merchant caravan's guard and also the examiner for the test.

Auron handed over the paper with the passed stamp to the leader. On the doc.u.ment, there was also Auron's identity written on it. The leader read the doc.u.ment carefully. However, he frowned when he saw that Auron's class was a mage.

”Mage...” The leader softly spoke.

”We don't need a mage so you can come back to where you are.” The leader immediately rejected Auron.

Auron was panicked at the sudden rejection. He asked with a high voice, ”You reject me without testing me?”

”Yes, We already have five mages, and we don't need more mages.” The leader didn't hide the reason for his rejection.

Usually, for a merchant caravan, they didn't need a lot of mages. Five mages were already considered a lot. So, the leader didn't want to add more mages.

”Really?” Auron looked at where the mages resided. Then, he scoffed at them, ”Weak.”
