Chapter 41 Interview
(From MC Perspective)
After considering Vincent's recent awakening, Professor Mathew is convinced that it will take some time for Vincent to complete the task. Then without worrying he focuses on his work.
Sometimes later,
"Finally" I muttered.
I absorbed entire gravity energies from remaining meteorite rocks in the lab. Glancing at my watch, I know that it's getting late for home. Before going, I need to move those rocks very quickly.
Then I moved, this time I'm much stronger. I lifted the huge meteorite boulder in one go. Slowly, I walk towards the new lab. After getting inside I place it on the corner. Then I begin to work faster. Several minutes later, I shifted the entire meteorite rocks into the new lab.
After completing the task, I head towards Professor Mathew's cabin.
"Creak" The door slid open.
I stepped inside slowly and answered, "Professor, I have completed the task."
"Too slow" Sitting behind his desk, Professor Mathew commented while shaking his head in disapproval.
Hearing his words I understand that he had expected from me to finish it earlier. But in no way I would move those rocks without absorbing gravity energy. It's a good finding. Obviously, it's impossible to tell him about this matter. Now I understand why he bought this piece of meteorite rock from the government.
He obviously had a clue about gravitational energy. But he doesn't know what exactly it is. That's why he is doing a lot of research. Even I came to know with the help of a system. Wait a second, I got my current system from the same meteorite source. So, Gravity power is also related to the meteorite rocks.
Professor Matthew told me on the first day of the meeting that these meteorite rocks were pieces of leftover debris. The original central meteorite source is now in the hands of the Government. I don't know how much gravity power is stored in the main source.
Seeing Vincent stood in silence. Professor Mathew gestures to him to go home. He is too lazy for an ideal talk.
Thankfully, Professor Mathew didn't dwell on this matter. I immediately left for home.

POISON DAGGER
A small gangster club formed by three notorious rogue mages. The main leader of the Poison Dagger club is Xavier Harper. He is level 4 Toxic Mage. Rogue Mage Xavier is a wanted criminal by the government.
He has been accused of causing numerous deaths through his toxic poison. He is suspected of being involved in various criminal activities including robbery and monster parts trafficking.
Currently, the local government formed a task force with help of police to catch such criminals. For this various personnel has been recruited. And tomorrow is going to be the last day of recruitment.
Earlier this day , At Red Water City's Police Headquarters.
Captain Tyler of the Newly Formed Task Force Team is currently viewing the profile of his team members. Necessary talented members have been recruited. Except, Part time members. He is the one who proposed the idea of recruiting part time mages.
He wanted them to do their work as the team's eyeliners. That's all, Rest of the main objective will be handled by the team. It's impossible to ask Part timers to risk their lives. As long as they provide information on enemies is enough.
Usually, this type of work is done by the main members. But he feels they are wasting their energy. He can't let them have their entire attention on searching trails. Because there were multiple rogue gangs in this city.
To think the City government neglected this matter for so long is the cause of such turmoil. If they had strangled it from the start, lots of damage could've been prevented. Now this sh*t needs to be cleaned up by his team.
Right now there were numerous files on his desk. On his left side of his desk, there were files about his team members. On the right side, Files about criminal organizations were placed.
After reading the profile of his team members, he picks the files on the right side. As he flips the file, his eyes set on the head line, POISON DAGGER. "This organisation is notorious as his name" His eyes flashes with glint as begins to go through the details.
He knows among those all wanted criminals, the embers of poison daggers is must. Like the name suggests, the rogue mage's ability is to do with poison. Which is very troublesome to deal with. Even healing mages were struggling to heal their poison. He believes it necessary to kill them as soon as possible.
…
The following day,
I woke up earlier from sleep to get ready for the interview. So far I didn't tell my parents about it. I plan to reveal it after getting the job. The interview is scheduled at 10am in the morning for me. The interview was conducted under various schedules. So, there is no possibility of waiting in a queue along with others. I bet it's enough for me to go there in time and attend the interview.
Today is a weekend, so there is no school. I can attend interviews without worrying about anything.
Time progressed,
At dining table,
"Vincent, What happen to you?" Mom Lila looks at her son in surprise. "It's unlikely for you to get up this early." She added further.
Hearing that I halted for a moment. What to do? I need to come up with a quick answer. Otherwise she will find out something. I answered, "Mom, Since I started practising magic. I thought it's better to go out for a while in the morning."
I told a convincing lie. I hope she believes it. Fortunately, My brother is still asleep. If he knows, he will definitely raise some questions. Sigh, My Father is at night shift. It will take some hours to come home.
Mom Lila doesn't find anything wrong with her son's words. She simply nodded. She thought her son was eager to practise his magic.
Soon, I completed the food on my plate. After waiting at home for some time. I left home hurriedly. Otherwise, my brother would stop and ask unwanted questions. I glanced at it at 8. 30 A.M. There is still some time left for the interview.
But most of it went by travel, so I booked an air car specifically for that interview. I don't want to get in trouble at Train Station. Though it hurts my heart to use my pocket money. But it's all for good, when I get my first pay. I will get more money to spend then.
Soon, the air car came and landed in front of me. I stepped inside and gave the destination to the driver. The driver is not a mage but a regular human. After hearing my words, without further ado he drove the car towards the destination.
An hour later,
The air cab slowly landed near the Police Headquarters. After paying the amount, I head straight towards the information office. I don't know which floor the interview is going to be held on. Usually, they used to inform us clearly. But I bet, Since it's the place of police headquarters. They are not disclosing the news.
As I slowly walk towards the place. I spot people wearing blue robes and black pants. Looking at that attire, I know they were police mages. I wonder what type of magic power they got. Without looking at them further, I came in front of the information office.
A middle aged man is working behind his desk. Feeling my silhouette he glanced at me. Seeing that I told him that I came for an interview. Hearing that the person checked my information and told me to go to the third floor.
As expected, without verifying the details. No one is allowed to go inside. After reaching the third floor via lift, I spotted a few people waiting in the area. Seeing their dress, I knew these people came for an interview. One surprising thing though, all of them were middle aged people. Unlike me, none of them were teens.
Seeing me coming towards the waiting area. At first none of them noticed. But when I sat behind them it surprised them greatly.
"Hey, Kid. What are you doing here?" A black tuxedo wearing person asked me. Hearing his voice, the rest of the people turned their heads at me.
"These guys!" I mumbled under my breath.
In case I told them I came for an interview. They will surely cause some noise. It is not wise to do that. So, I kept silent. But the black tuxedo guy became irritated soon after. Rest of the people were also quite displeased. Seeing them I still maintained a poker face.
The tuxedo guy is displeased. But since he came for an interview. He doesn't want to cause any noise. It will disrupt his image. Who knows there might be people looking at the situation secretly. So he took a final glance at Vincent before minding his own business.
