Chapter 6 A Job
?"Master... Master! Wake up." The sound of Jasmine woke up Gale from his sleep.
"Uugh," Gale moaned as he woke up slowly."What time is it?"
"The sun had just come out earlier." Jasmine said as she showed him the table. "Master, quickly go wash yourself. We have to go early to find a job."
"Okay." Gale went to brush his teeth and wash his face. After that, he came to the table to eat his breakfast.
With all of that done, they went to the town.
The Burnheart Family was located beside Highload City. One family and two clans protect and dominate this city.
The first was Burnheart Family. This family was known for their great mastery of weapons.
The second one was called the IceFire clan. This clan was gifted with the ability to use a special blue flame that was about to heat up your opponent while also covering their body with ice.
The third one was called the Ragingwave Clan. This clan was able to train their bodies to a great extent and use that to exert immense strength.
The town wasn't that big, just a few kilometers long. But it sure was packed. The sun had just shone, and there were already many people in the streets.
It was the first time Gale saw it with his own eyes. He was marveled by the beasts and the fantasy outsits everyone was wearing.
"Let's go there first, master." Jasmine, who was wearing pants and a robe, pointed at a bar.
"Hmm, that's a good start." Gale went in with Jasmine.
"NO!"
Immediately, they got rejected. However, their enthusiasm didn't calm down. They went to other places to look for one.
"No."
"No, we are full."
"Get away, come back when you know alchemy!"
Store after store they got rejected. Some were full, for some they were not qualified and some just didn't like him except Jasmine of course.
Gale's fit started to begin again."These bastards.."
As he was cursing, Jasmine, on the other hand, still had not lost her hope. She took him to one last shop. "Master, let's try this one."
Gale's eyes turned in her pointed direction and saw a shop name -Toonly Meats-.
He went in without asking her anything and was just surprised by the sight in front of him. A man was dismantling a beast's corpse that looked like a boar. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
He asked."Sir, can we ask something?"
The man who had big muscles and a mustache on his face turned his head at them. "My name is Greg. What can I help you with?"
"Hello, Greg. I am Gale, and she is Jasmine, my friend. I want to ask if we can work for you?' Gale said it with courtesy.
"Okay." Greg agreed without hesitation, making Gale and Jasmine dumbfounded.
"Don't be shocked." Greg said as he signaled them to follow him. "The thing we do are dismantling the corpses of beasts. This is highly skilled work for a normal person, and it is highly paid too."
Greg started to continue dismantling the unfinished corpse. "But not many want to do it as you can get a disease or be killed in this job. The beast might be poisonous, a smaller beast might also be hidden, the beast might move his body desperately too sometimes and etc etc. So many things can happen. So, everyone shies away from this job."
"Now that you have come, I am happy. You may be amateurs now at this, but with some training, you both also can become good." He smiled at them, optimistically.
Which made their hearts shine for a bit.
"So, want to start from now?" Greg asked.
"Yes, sir." Gale agreed and him agreeing was Jasmine agreeing too.
Then they changed their clothes and wore white outfits. With that on, they started by dismantling small beasts first.
It was a rabbit beast that had a horn growing from its nose like a rhinoceros.
Gale was sweating hard because he wasn't able to properly skin the rabbit.
However, he looked to his side to see Jasmine effortlessly dismantling the rabbits. His jaw dropped to the floor upon seeing that.
Greg came by his side and said it with awe. "Your friend there is very good. Has she done this kind of job in the past?"
"Umm," Gale himself was clueless so how could he answer that."I do not know. Maybe she learned it secretly."
"Whatever it is. It is a great benefit for me." Greg laughed and went to resume his work.
Meanwhile, Gale came before her and asked."Jasmine, why are you so good?"
"Oh, Master that.." Jasmine was surprised to see Gale come to her. However, his question left her stumped. After some thought, she spoke. "Actually, I am a cultivator, master. I also have dismantled these in the kitchen. So, that's why I am good."
"Then why did you not tell me earlier?" Gale asked with doubt.
"It is because I thought you would hate me if I suddenly told you that I am a cultivator," Jasmine said with her head down, as she was fearing he would scold her.
However, that didn't come.
Instead, he said something else."Silly, you should have told me earlier."
He gave her a small chop on her head."I am happy that you are one."
Gale was genuinely happy. Having a cultivator with him would help him with a lot of things in the initial process. To have someone who he knew and who he could actually trust was best for him.
"I am glad you are happy, master." Jasmine couldn't contain her excitement over the compliment she got from him.
Then Gale hesitated a little and finally asked Jasmine."Can you show me how to do it?"
He said it with all his will, as it was getting on his pride.
"Of course." Jasmine happily agreed as she trotted over to his table.
"What an innocent girl." Gale went to his table as he said that.
