Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 162: Part 2: New Headmaster

Maple City, Red Water Province,

A middle-aged man exited a 10-story glass building. The massive structure was designed in such a way that natural sunlight could penetrate. This magnificent glass structure is part of the Lenin Herbal Institute.

Chester Nixon is a middle-aged man. He exited the premises with tired shoulders after completing the formalities of his resignation.

He has dedicated his life to herbal research studies for over 20 years. His peers were already well beyond him in terms of wizard level, wealth, and anything else you could think of.

The Lenin Institute is now looking for new blood; they donʼt want old foxes like him to stick around. Chester Nixon long since accepted his fate as a yellow-grade talent.

Chester Nixonʼs age is 42. He has dark hair and dark eyes. He stands 5 feet tall and has fair skin.

He hopped into the air car and drove back to his house after exiting the premises. He must travel 2 miles to get home.

Soon after passing through several streets, shops and farm fields. Chester Nixon got home 40 minutes later.

He gently lands the air car in front of the parking garage. He entered the house after stepping out.

His residence is a medium-sized villa. He had done one nice thing by purchasing this villa. He had led a frugal life. So, when it comes to money, he would not spend it until absolutely required.

He purchased this villa because he desired this level of privacy. The tranquil atmosphere distracts him from the frantic work schedule of the Lenin Institute. He felt a big weight lifted off his shoulder now that he was free.

At the same time, he knows that he cannot compete with his level-4 wizard counterparts. But he is still a wizard, and his existence is far superior to that of ordinary humans.

Because of his level-3 limit, Chester Nixon has a long lifespan. He is not going to die any time soon. That is why he chose to pursue a new career where his effort is valued.

After that, he had a long bath before changing back into his comfortable clothing. He instantly remembered the jobs he had lately applied for. He wonders if any of them have responded.

He went to his study. He sat in the seat and opened the projector disc to turn it on. A blue holographic screen appears in front of him when he activates it.

When Chester Nixon notices this, he begins to connect to the server. He had mailed his resume to a number of companies. So he has a slim chance of receiving a response from at least one organization.

The very first thing he did was check his email. He found multiple responses after logging in. When he notices this, he begins to check them one by one. He sighed when he realized the majority of them were rejections.

He had placed a lot of faith in himself. He was rejected because he was either overqualified or his age was inappropriate for the job.

He read the rejection emails and felt no guilt. Because the companies he had applied for were quite large. If he lowers his goals, he may be able to find work in other small and medium-sized businesses.

He considered shutting off the projection disc after clearing his mind. But then a new email arrived in his inbox. As he gazed at the green lettering, his eyes widened with amazement.

He opened the message and began reading it right away. A little smile came on his face a few seconds later. He whispered to himself, ”Little Star Gate High School.”

Right after he took the decision to resign. He had applied for some random jobs on the spur of the moment. He only afterwards cleared his head and began applying to those large corporations.

Heʼs not sure whether to laugh or cry right now. None of the major corporations had accepted his application. However, he has recently obtained an acceptance letter from this wizard school.

For a little moment, the mood within the room calms down. He believed his previous assumption was right. He should not have targeted those huge companies.

Some huge companies have ties to wizard organizations. As a result, they will think twice before hiring a level-3 wizard for a higher position. He was lost in thought. Despite receiving a job acceptance letter, he wishes to pursue other opportunities.

After receiving various options, he will determine which one to choose. He turned off the projection desk after acquiring some insight. His glum attitude had been lifted by the single acceptance letter. He is now extremely pleased with himself.

Alternatively,

The administrative department returned the information to Assistant Nick after sending mail to Chester Nixon. As per Chairman Benjaminʼs request, Nick wants to set up a meeting between them as soon as possible.

However, this will only occur if the other side is prepared for the job. Simply submitting an application does not guarantee success. Nick understands how this works. Others may be looking for alternatives.

The other party will stay undecided unless the chairman offers better compensation or something else. Nickʼs mind is racing with ideas.

He made the decision to tell Chairman Benjamin of the new developments. It is up to the chairman to decide what to do next.

In the blink of an eye, time passes.

Evening, Chairman Benjamin raised his head and stared Nick in the eyes. ”Are you suggesting that we pay him more?” he inquired.

His assistant just provided him with the information about Chester Nixon a few minutes ago. Heʼd already decided to select Chester Nixon as the future headmaster.

These are only his thoughts. But he has no idea what Chester Nixonʼs plans are.

Assistant Nick quickly responded, ”We need to act quickly, boss. There is a chance that he will receive job offers from others.”

When it came to major problems, Assistant Nick knew his boss would always want to hear his thoughts. Right now, he wants to make this happen. If Chester Nixon accepts the position, he will be given judge credit.

When Chairman Benjamin heard that, an understanding hit him. He almost missed the most vital point. He accepted Chester Nixonʼs job application without looking at others.

However, the same cannot be stated for the other parties. A glint flashes across his eyes. Chairman Benjamin has already decided against considering additional applicants. He must act swiftly, as urged by his assistant.

”He worked as a researcher. We donʼt know what he wants from the teaching profession, ”Chairman Benjamin said. He felt it was better to ask him.

Then he went on to say, ”Nick, you can approach him on my behalf. See what heʼs after? Then we can make a decision later.”

In response, Nick nodded his head. They then talked about a few more things before Nick exited the room.

Nick drove his air car towards home after leaving the Chairmanʼs house.

Nick arrived at his residence one hour later. He took the lift to his room after parking his air car on the ground. He was freshened up a few minutes later.

Recalling Chairman Benjaminʼs order Rather than calling, Nick chose to send a text message first. He has no idea if Chester Nixon is available. So Nick decided to avoid being impolite by making an abrupt phone call.

At the same moment, Chester Nixon, who was sleeping in his medium-sized villa, was awakened by the message.

”Who is he?” While gazing at the text message on his communication watch, he murmured to himself.

He then began reading the message. His eyes widened with amazement once more. ”Whatʼs up with this wizard school?” He reflected to himself. He had not expected them to contact him so quickly.

For a brief period, Chester Nixon is at a loss for words. He considered taking his time to see whether he would receive any more acceptance letters from other companies.

However, based on the text message, he believes that the bigwigs behind this small school want to hear his response immediately away. In reluctance, he wrinkled his brows.

After a brief moment of thought, he decides to make a call.

When the call is accepted, ”Hello, this is Chester speaking.How may I help you?” He stated.

Nick, on the other hand, was completely taken aback. He didnʼt expect Mr. Chester Nixon to respond so quickly.

Then Nick starts talking. He explained that Little Star Gate High School was in desperate need of a suitable applicant for the role of headmaster.

Nick also informed him of the chairmanʼs desire to increase his remuneration.

Chester Nixon was patiently listening at the same time. The conversation has shown him that the little wizard school is really serious about recruiting him.

Chester Nixon then told Nick to give him some time. He had already decided to wait for the status of other applications. So it will only be a matter of days until he finds out the result.

Nick, on the other hand, did not make things difficult. He was pleased that Chester Nixon is taking their job offer into consideration.
