As soon as the first screen vanishes the next screen appears. At the same time on his shoulder an emblem appears on his shoulder, which depicts the name of the school and below it a blue ball.

"You will be a student of the magic department, so when you come for the first class tomorrow you have to go to building 10 , room 5.2. Here are some booklets with information about the school." "Thank you very much." "Ok, then get going. Next one!"

With this the man dismisses Ivan and he turns around to leave. When he leaves through the big gate he finds that the former empty street had become filled with stands and people. He could see other students, with a similar emblem to his moving to some of the stands to talk with the owners.

"Excuse me?", behind him a voice sounds out and he turns around. "Ha, I was right, you too are a member of our department." Behind Ivan stood two guys who couldn't be more different. The one who had called out to him was so fat, he seemed more like a ball then a person, while the other was so thin that one had the feeling that even the slightest wind would blow him away.

Before Ivan even had the time to react the fat guy continued on: "My name is Gregory Tellor, but you can call me Greg, and this thin guy here is Sergey Muckovick or just Serge. As we are in the same department we should get along." "Nice to meet you, my name is Ivan Hope." "So have you already decided where to work?" "Huh?" "What you don't know? How could you not know?" "Know what?", Ivan said embarrassed. "So you really didn't know. It's tradition, and also practical that when youths enroll into a school they too find a job. That's why there are so many companies here." "Ah, I was wondering what was going on. Could you tell me more?" "Sure, if you want to know anything you just have to ask me and you would have definitely asked the right guy.", Greg smiles while praising himself. Serge on the other hand just smiles and says nothing, it seemed like he wasn't the talkative type.

"So, when it's enrollment time all the companies close to the school who need some worker will send a representative to the job market held before the school to display their job offers.", Greg starts to lecture. "Then the students can go and find some job they like. Although for a school like this they only offer manual work. Luckily I already have a job which my old man organized." * Hm, I only have 25 copper so I will definitely need a job, so this is a good opportunity *

Before he could think more about it Greg continued. "Besides the companies there are also the big alliances which will send a representative to all schools. I guess you don't know about them either so listen. The big alliances are the Merchant Alliance which is a conglomerate of merchant houses lead by the big four. They are the second richest of the alliance and they handle the Universal Bank and biggest auction house the Universe, there are rumors that you can buy anything from them, as long as you have the money. The second alliance is the Adventure Alliance, which is a union of adventures, they organize them and care for them. They are quite open since anyone can enter but to enter their inner ranks is supposed to be quite difficult. Then there is the Slavers Alliance which is the richest and most powerful but also the one with the smallest amount of members. They have their business of training and trading slaves and pets, but mostly pets. Since slaves are really expensive and rare I don't really know much about them." "Wow, thank you for all the information." "No problem, we are comrades after all." "Then wouldn't it be better to enter an alliance instead of joining a company?" "It's not that easy. The alliances are powerful enough that they only need to recruit those they expect to be really useful, so most new students have no way of joining them." "Oh, then do you know how they decide who is useful?" "Not exactly, but I have heard that the recruiter have a certain set of skills that enable them to test if the target has the requirement."

After explaining things Greg then pulled Ivan to a stand. "Here this is the stand of the company my father works for and the pay is quite good, so you should really think about getting a job here." Ivan took a look at the posters and saw that they would pay 10 copper a hour and you were required to work at least 5 hours a day, with Sunday being a free day. *Fuck, I really need to get a feeling of how much a copper is worth.* As he didn't react Greg didn't force him but instead said, "Well think about it, there is still time until the evening, for now lets go get something to eat."

With these words he once again started to pull him along, this time to a stand wich sold food. A quick glance allowed Ivan to check out the prices which were displayed on a sign. *On simple bowl of soup costs 20 copper? Wouldn't that be 2 hours work just to get something to eat?* "Lets eat here. Even though the prices are a bit higher than if you make it yourself it's still quite cheap." "This is cheap?" Greg looked at him weirdly "Yeah. I'm sorry if I'm intrusive, but why do I have the feeling that you seem to know nothing?" Ivan looked down embarrassed, "That's because I don't. I just woke up this morning without any memories." "Oh," , Greg looks at him in surprise. "how did that happen?" For the first time Serge said something "Stupid, of course he wouldn't know." "Ups. Then maybe your stats and skills can tell you something?" "Not really, since there are no skills and the stats are all at 1, but the man responsible for enrolling me said something about a hard reset." "Hm, I have heard of it but I don't know anything about it, do you Serge? After all you are the one reading all the time." Serge just shakes his head, to signal that he was clueless too. "Well, since we can't do anything about it lets just ignore it. But how did you know to come to school?" "Oh it was a quest."

"So you are one of the lucky one to get this quest." "Is it that rare? I thought everyone gets it." "Nah it's not really rare, but getting it generally shows that you are quite lucky with quests."
