Reader Chapter 18

"It's already been 10 seconds."

10 seconds have passed since Soo Hyuk put his hand on the crystal ball. He knew that it would only take around 10 seconds to be assigned a quest. Why hasn't the crystal ball stopped yet?

Crack!

A faint sound came from the ball. When Soo Hyuk saw the source, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"What?"

There was a tiny crack in the crystal ball. Soo Hyuk knew the process of becoming a Magician. Everything that happened so far had gone along according to an article on the Pangea homepage, but it was the first time he had seen a crack form.

Soo Hyuk looked up at Konten with an awkward smile. Konten's expression had also changed as he noticed the crack.

"You can take your hand off now.",

Konten said with an awkward expression. Soo Hyuk hurriedly took his hand off.

***

The Matab Steeple management division, Magician Konten.

"Haah......"

Konten stared at a lady and the numerous people behind her and sighed.

"Too many, just too many. I think I'm gonna die soon."

There were too many.

"It was good at first."

The first time he became a manager, Konten was elated. His status and pay were good even if he didn't have any talent for magic, but now he felt that every day was extremely tiring.

"Thank you for your help!"

The lady got up from her seat after saying goodbye.

"Next person!"

Konten called in the next person, and the person who was behind the lady sat down. It was an average-looking young man.

"How can I help you?"

"I want to change my job to a Magician."

"Oh, so you want to be a Magician."

Konten opened his drawer and pulled out the crystal ball.

"First."

Setting the ball in front of the person, he spoke,

"Place your hand on the ball please. Don't pull away until I say so."

People couldn't become a Magician just because they wanted to. They had to have talent and luck. The crystal ball was a device that could help check their talent through measuring their wisdom. The actual name was the [Wisdom Marble]. People could only become a Magician after having enough wisdom, doing a task, and being at a certain standard. More exactly, after going through a magic course at the Magic Institute of Matab so that Magicians could at least have basic knowledge about magic.

"Okay."

The man replied to Konten and put his hand on the Wisdom Marble. When he put his hand on the ball, the ball started glowing brightly.
