FAME academy

"Thief?" Adi was confused "do you mean a bandit, a criminal or maybe a murderer?" 'So she hasn't heard about this job either,' Long Jing thought as an evil glint showed up for a second in his crystal blue eyes 'I can work with that.' "no, I mean like - the name of the job." "a unique job!" Adi's eyes ‏widened while she took a deep breath. "Do you know how rare it is? Only one in a 10 gets a job like this and when I say one in 10 I mean one in ten students no one in 10 civilians so it's more like one in 10,000 gets a unique Job," she calmed herself and than said: "but don't let yourself think you have a better chance now to win our deal now, this year there are almost 100 pupil Who has a unique job outs of the 560 students that have been excepted to the school this year, not to mention the five with epic job and the two legendary one's." Long Jing almost puked blood when he heard this, how the heck can he compete with that kind of people who have the money, the connections and in the talent? "Also" Adi said with a little sadistic smile on her face "I forgot to tell you is that you are not the only one competing for the top of your class, there are also nine others who have similar if not identical magical contract like you and so you know one of them is a legendary one , Two are unique and the others are regular jobs but you don't know how special every last one of them. Actually" she said while looking at it Long Jing and giggling "you are the most ordinary one of them all."

At this point the only thing which was preventing Long Jing from punching her stupid smile off her stupid face was something his only friend/mentor told him years ago, when he only started living on the street which saved his ass from hanging on a noble's wall - 'never let your emotions affect your judgment and most important than anything else, don't let your emotions show up on your face.'

So instead of saying or doing something he will regret, Long Jing said dryly: "Is there something else I need to know? When does school begin? Where would I live? How much money do I get a month to be able to leave and study?"

When Long Jing said in the last question you could almost see his eyes turning gold with Dollar symbol showing up which could show you this was what he was a reality after.

"you will have a couple of days to get your shit together and then you will come here on Tuesday night at 8:30 sharp, where I would be sent you to leave to dorms until school starts to give you time to catch up as much as you can in the material you will get three meals a day and three Silver's a month for extra things not including books pencils and all The other stuff you need for school, understood?"

Long Jing thought for a second and said: "I Don't have anything important except my books and I assume you have a library there so we can go now if you want"

"Oh perfect," she said while clapping her hands and smiling so innocently you could almost think she's a nice young lady instead of the scary, powerful and evil witch whom he made a deal just a moment ago. "So we can go through the dimensional door which is already open and I won't have to pay extra money"

while changing the location that her dimensional door will bring them to, Adi suddenly said: "by the way, what is your status? Because it's a unique job, I don't know anything about it."

"Sure I can tell you," Long Jing said and Adi could hear the greed in his voice. "But but it will cost you Silver coins to know, Plus giving me right away the already three silver's you promised me" just as he finishes his sentence he could see Adi's right eyebrow flinch and 5 coins shoot right at him which he caught in dexterity and agility that made him look almost like a superhuman.

and before she could regret he already told her his stats

Name: Long Jing

Job: thief

Level: 1

strength: 2

Stamina: 4

agility: 4

dexterity:4

mana: 0

magical affinity: none

Skills: none

Long Jing knew he can't hide everything, but he also knew that he shouldn't tell her everything for three reasons:

1) Part of the agreement is that as long as he improves every month he will get resources which will help him improve quicker.

2) From what he heard most people have an average of 3 points in every stats at level 1 and he had higher stats in almost everything except strength and mana which will make her notice him way too much.

3) he didn't trust her to tell her his skill.

So he showed her stats which looked average enough to not get caught, and the ones you would expect a thief to have well except one.

"Zero in mana??? Wow that sucks for you" Adi said as she laughed at Long Jing in her heart while keeping serious face "I guess only theoretical magic and fighting lessons for you"

About 5 minutes went by as they talked and the dimensional door was finally ready and they walked through to the other side.

After reaching the other side and puking three times (going through one is like having your body reorganized) Long Jing saw for the first time the place which will change his life forever, The school for the rich and talented (but mostly rich), the place he always dreamed about in his childhood but knew he won't have a chance to be there, the place he will never belong to and where he will have to fight for every single opportunity, the place he would have to be at the top and the place he was sure made someone think very hard about how to fit words to the initials -
