The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 855

Karl knew that things were going to go sideways the moment that Lotus followed Remi out to vet their candidates.

The candidates that had gathered were mostly nerdy demon children in their early teens, too small for a heavily physical trade, and too timid for business.

But Karl had some hope that they would make a reasonable selection, even if it was mostly based on who could get to the posting the fastest. It had been up less than an hour, which didn’t seem like much time for good candidates to find out about the job.

Especially if they were already in the city working day labour.

But luck was part of the requirement when it came to getting the best jobs. The ones who were in the right spot at the right time were the ones who got the opportunities.

With the assistance of the Guards, they quickly formed two groups. Ones who had seen Alchemy done before and ones who had not.

The first group was very small, and under the most perfunctory questioning by the gate guards, they were all moved over to form one group again.

So Remi decided to sort them another way. Ones who were willing to wear black and white uniforms every day, and ones that were not.

For Alchemists, that was just a splash resistant lab coat, but it did remove a few who didn’t really want to be there.

Then Lotus asked them random questions about plants that were used in the Alchemy process, followed by more common-sense questions about handling dangerous liquids. Simple questions, ones that you could have learned in a kitchen as well.

But that gave them ones with quick minds.

This was the point where it became arbitrary, as they had half a dozen candidates still, and they only needed two.

But Lotus and Remi had a dilemma. Two of them were small and fluffy, two of there were brilliant and knew a lot about plants, and the other two had answered all the safety questions right.

So, they brought all six back on a temporary basis, intending to give them a few days of temp work to see if they were qualified.

Dana laughed as Remi led the procession back into the city.

"What do you think the odds are that they picked only cute girls?" She whispered.

"Not as high as expected. The Satyr is a boy, and that’s a young incubus, not a succubus." Karl noted.

"I’m proud of them, they might have taken their jobs seriously for a whole ten minutes." Dana whispered. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

"And then brought back three times as many employees as they went looking for." Rae agreed.

That was a minor detail. But Karl didn’t honestly expect that any of the young Alchemists would actually be fired.
