Alesse'S Connect: The Alchemist

Border town

"Huh! I thought it would be like this! I can't believe they're stingy for mercy!" lamented Alesse. He was only given a few gold pieces as his allowance for his entire life at the royal border school.

It was the school that was the farthest distance from the central city, Nicholas hoped that any news of the boy would not affect Darius as it was very far away.

"Okay, maybe the first thing I need is a place to stay! These gold pieces might be able to buy a simple house. Yeah, although not comparable to the luxurious dormitory where Darius lives," Alesse said.

He went to several places to find a nearby and strategic house to attend school and buy daily necessities. He arrived at the company lobby.

"What's the matter, miss... eh?" A man standing guard in the lobby was puzzled because Alesse's clothes resembled men, yet his face looked clearly like a young girl.

"I want to buy a house here, is there anything closest to the market and school?" ask Alesse.

"Buy the house you said? No kidding! Kids don't fuck around here!" scold the man. "Well, you'd be careful who you're talking to!" alesse said while showing the badge of his family's nobility.

"uh? The nobleman? You think I'm scared? This place was indeed where the nobles threw away their useless children! I thought you were among those people!" said the man.

"Hm! You think I just dumped it here? I also brought some interesting things" said Alesse while showing some gold coins.

"I could've taken the money, but you're sure? The simple house here is not what you guys imagined! Not like the castle of the nobles! It could even be your nightmare to sleep in such a place! You think you're the only one who came here and decided to buy a house? Many nobles came here with the same intention, yet they could not bear to have gotten used to their spoiled lives! It's useless, spoiled again! It is totally unexpected!" said the man.

"I don't mind! Let's just say I'm used to sleeping in the stables" said Alesse.

"Seriously? You're a noble, let alone a girl! You can't take back your words! Give me the money immediately and sign the right to his own" said the man.

"Finally you understand too, maybe we can deal even longer, I also have some other gold coins," said Alesse.

"Haha! All right, then introduce, my name is Andreas. Hopefully we can get closer, young lady," said the man, extending his hand to shake hands, Alesse shook his hand.

"So, for the first thing.is there a job here whose wages can be to meet the needs of daily life, I choose enough for the needs of one person only," said Alesse.

"Your thoughts are simple, miss! It seems like sleeping in a stables is not a lie! Sorry, I didn't mean to offend" Andreas said. "Where? Is there an ideal job like that?" ask Alesse.

"If apart from clothing and appearance problems, for daily needs you can work odd jobs in the market, there may be many who need help to lift, cut, clean, and so on," Andreas. Alesse looked disappointed at her words.

"Oh, sorry! True too, you are just a child of nobility, a name might want to work in such a place," Andreas said.

"It doesn't matter whether you want to or not! That kind of work I can't do because I have to go to school!" Alesse.

"Oh, I forgot! The nobles here come to school! Sorry, since you were the first one to come looking for a job, I'm not so focused! Hm! So, the right job for your school time, huh? I heard there was a recruitment for librarians, here there is rarely interest because it is too complicated, I heard the wages are quite large!" Andreas.

"Well, that's the right advice! What a wonderful coincidence!" exclaimed Alesse, he immediately gave a few pieces of gold coins to Andreas.

"Eh? This for me?" andreas asked in surprise. Alesse nodded. "Mom. isn't this too much?" ask Andreas. "My principle is to value information at a very high price! Especially with regards to books and libraries, this is really valuable!" Alesse.

"Why, hear you say it.. You look like a real man!" Andreas.

"Then, is praising you wrong? Did I offend you?" andreas asked with an uncomfortable feeling.

"No really! I feel flattered. You may praise me for something like this, but don't do it to anyone else" Alesse said, leaving the man after getting information about the library.

He went straight to the house he had just bought. The result was not in line with his expectations.

"I... Is this a house or trash? Why is the foundation tilted like this? Where does the box containing this tub go to is the toilet? A place without civilization is truly stifling!" moaning Alesse while laying down on the bed.

He looked at the brochure from the library he was carrying, finally he decided to go there first.

At first he just sat down to look for a book. He wants to make sure the library system in place is in accordance with what he thinks.

He was also interested in reading a guidebook on magic from the front shelf. He also began to read it.

"What do you want from the children's book?" ask some girls while laughing at him.

The book that Alesse was holding seemed so striking with bright colors and simple writing, but Alesse ignored their words. He looked serious about reading the book carefully.

"Is this really? In order to cast magic, I have to mention this spell and my hands have to be like this and so...." Alesse tried to demonstrate what was in the book.

"Then I have to imagine the point or source of the magic itself? How strange!" Alesse. He approached the librarian and showed me the book.

"Excuse me, is what is written here true?" ask Alesse. The librarian looked at him in astonishment.

"Of course, it was everyone's basic knowledge, even though some of them there could not use magic. Didn't you read this a lot as a kid? Your mom and dad never read this? I think all children learn to read starting with this book" said the librarian.

Alesse only remembered that he could read because Darius taught him, and that too without the strange books.

"So, brother can also cast magic by demonstrating this?" ask Alesse curiously. "Of course" said the librarian. He began to winnow the mantra, then move his hand according to the one in the book.

Alesse was disgusted when he saw her. Just then also sparks appeared on the librarian's fingertips.

"Eh, big brother isn't shy when doing such a silly thing?" ask Alesse. The librarian looked back at Alesse in astonishment. "Why embarrassed? It's a great thing, right?" ask the librarian.

"Good, brother! Then, it means imagining what the point or source of magic is like?" ask Alesse.

"For example, since I'm a fire witch, I need to imagine the fire that starts to ignite when people start to swipe both flint stones" the librarian said.

"Oh? That so?" Alesse was satisfied and went home after borrowing the book. Unfortunately he forgot one thing, he immediately reached into his pocket and found a brochure from the library.

"Damn it! Because of the atmosphere, I forgot to apply for work," said Alesse upset.
