The headmaster’s office.

“Simon Reid, Ivan Tarnell and Sophia Grace. The main reason I asked all to you to come today is to discuss your future plan in the Astral society!”

The headmaster went straight to the point. “Yesterday, a total of 54 Astral organizations contacted me! Of course, the military also asked me for all of your information. These are the detail and relevant remunerations. Have a look!”

The headmaster handed them each a set of documents that had been prepared.

Even if Simon already fixed no join the God beetle company, he still scanned through them!

“Bro Simon, see this the world’s top ten Astral organizations”

Ivan whispered, “you reminded me yesterday, otherwise I would have missed out on so many big companies. Thank God!”

“The company’s ranking is not the most important thing. It all depends on the remuneration packages. While these large organizations may be interested in us, their package may not be as good as the smaller ones” Simon explained not wanting for Ivan fall into mess and get treated bad somewhere.

Simon was okay to be treated bad, he did not mind but he did not want his friends and family to be treated bad.

So, he explained every point very deeply.

Hearing this headmaster had smile and spoke.

“Simon is right. In the past, the most enthusiastic and active ones in headhunting were the smaller organizations and companies. Plus, their rewards are the best!”

“But everything has two sides to it. A smaller company may pay you well but they are not as good for your future development compared with the larger ones because larger organizations are fill with talent, and the competition is very fierce. However, if are able to overcome it you will shine the brightest, gaining foot hold on those big companies will grant you an invincible future”

They nodded and continued to look through the documents.

Some were offering 100,000 and others more but Ivan was confused.

“Simon, all of these companies are offering a lot, but I don’t know which one to choose!”

Simon’s face was calm because he had already chosen. its was God beetle company where his skill could shine the most.

“So, what do the three of you think? Do you have a choice in your heart? Tell me!” the headmaster asked with a smile.

Sophia Grace nodded slightly.

“Headmaster, my uncle works in Volcanic Guild. He suggested that I join them. Although I would start from the bottom, it will be good for my future development!” Sophia Grace said

Both Simon and Ivan were silent.

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

“A wise decision!”

The headmaster eyes brightened; things were easier when you have connections; it was an unchanging truth.

Joining Volcanic Guild made Sophia Grace future fortified. If she used it well. She would become one the worlds pillars.

Both Simon and Ivan were surprised. It was said that her family was financial well-off but they did not know that her family was so influential that they have connection with Volcanic Guild.

“Now, how about you two?”

The headmaster turned to Simon and Ivan.

“Simon, which one are you going to choose?”

Ivan looked at Simon.

“God Beetle!” Simon declared his choice.

“God Beetle is the world’s number one organization. It is extremely powerful, and most Astral Lord will try to join it”

Headmaster nodded. “Yes, true many Astral tries to join them, but as live mentioned a large company means it will be full of talents and the competition will be fierce. It will be difficult for you to stand out”

“We should choose the best, if we have chance! Go big or go home!” Simon said with confidence.

“It’s alright if the benefit is lesser. If I can shine bright enough it will all work out at the end”

“Well said!”

The headmaster approved it with a smile. “Young people should have the spirit to thrive and not look back”

“Then Ivan, what about you?”

“I will follow Simon and join God beetle”

….

Both of them took the certification issued by the headmaster and went to God beetle companies Riverstone Base City branch.

The 25-floor building was one the tallest and most magnificent building in the entire base.

There was menacing logo hanging at the centre of the building, which was eye-catching. A Horned Dung Beetle, the symbol of God Beetle company.

“Welcome to God Beetle company, how can I help you?”

The moment they walked into the lobby on the first floor a receptionist walked over and greeted them.

“Hello, we are here to apply to join the company. Here are the certifications!”

Simon talked for both of them as he handed over the certificate to the receptionist.

Taking a look at the certificate, a smile formed on the receptionist face and said enthusiastically.

“Please come with me”

Simon and Ivan followed her up to the 25-floor of the building where the office of general manager was situated.

When they walked in Simon was taken in by surprise when he realized that the general manager was actually a beauty. Her long fiery white hair looked like snow, and she had this ice queen vibe around her that if Simon looked at in a dirty way, he will have an ice spike drilled into his head.

After a brief introduction, the manager named Eira Sylvana went straight to the main topic and produced two contracts, which she then handed to them.

“There is the contract we prepared for you. Please check it and if there’s nothing wrong with it, you can sign the contract!”

Both of them took a look at the contract and browsed through them. It was actually just a formality.

It was the standard contract and there was not changing it either.

The salary and the privileges were a lot inferior to other small companies.

A villa;

A monthly salary of 30,000;

Low-level Astral technique;

However, since they had chosen God beetle, all of this did not matter. As both of them signed the contract.

Eira Sylvana extend her hand and smiled.

“Welcome to God Beetle company, you two!”

Simon shook Eira Sylvana hand, and few lines of characters appeared before him again.

Name: Eira Sylvana

Race: Human

Astral skill: Ice Manipulation (Awakened)

“There is no option to replicate?”

Simon’s face darked as tried to guess the problem.

“What the situation? Is her Astral skill too high for me copy or it my skill on cooldown?”

He let go of her hand and was seriously thinking about his skill.

“Since both of you have join our company, I will give you brief explanation on your work arrangements!”

Both of them sat up straight.

“Since both of you have just awakened your skill and cannot even control your skill freely, you two will follow a special training program and improve your control on it”

“The training program a course that all the newbies are to do and it last for six months” Eira Sylvana said

“After which there will be a training assessment. Only then can you join the company”

“And let me remind you, if you were to fail to pass the assessment, your contract will be terminated, and dismissed!”

“of course, everything that company provide will be taken back including the Astral technique!”
