The Human Giant



"Okay, boss what is it that you want to do now?" After sealing the deal with Yoze, Jewel felt her shoulders relax as she once again felt comfortable around Yoze.

"We are going to go to the City Hall to get me an Advisor position and to have money to start paying you," Yoze called over the waiters and asked for the bill.

"That is for the best," 

After paying, Yoze and Jewel went to the center of New Swampscott City until they reached their destination. It wasn't a very tall building but it was massive and this building's foundation alone took up several blocks of the city center. The dark color of the building seemed to enhance the feeling that this building would never fall even as the world ended.

"This building is New Swampscott's City hall and as you can tell the designers placed a lot of care to design it so it could never sink into the ground." Jewel waved her hand as she introduced the building.

"Impressive,"

Since he had arrived at his destination Yoze didn't want to wait any longer and stepped inside. However, as soon as he and Jewel stepped inside they had gotten the guard's attention.

"Hold up, what is your purpose for visiting?" The guard tried his best to make it seem that he was calm but from the tremble of his voice, one could tell he was nervous.

For someone of Yoze's stature, it was obvious to the guard that he was a martial artist and needed to first be investigated before allowing him in.

"I'm here to acquire a scholar position, here are my papers and seal from Jade City." Yoze took out a slip of paper that had his information and what he had done in Jade City as well as his wooden seal with a blue leaf.

"You are a scholar?" Even though the guard was terrified by Yoze's presence he couldn't help but doubt Yoze's claim.

"Look at you and tell me what part of you shows you are a scholar." The guard didn't know why but the pressure surrounding Yoze suddenly disappeared as if he imagined it and felt more confident.

"My brain. Just because I train in martial arts on the side doesn't make me any less of a scholar who would bring great benefits to the city." Yoze sighed as he didn't know what he could do as he knew this was bound to happen frequently.

"Alright, just hand me your papers and I'll give them to someone to check that they are real. After that, we will let you in with no issue so don't cause any problems." The guard who had regained his confidence snatched the paper and badge in Yoze's hand and walked inside.

Five minutes soon passed, before the guard returned with a face completely pale, and following behind him were four new people.

The person that drew Yoze's attention the most was a young man with long black hair and a skinny body. Even though he looked on the weaker side the scent of bloody steel coming from the man showed that he was a Blood Master.

The second person was a middle-aged man dressed in simple plain clothing. This man looked at Yoze as if he was a monster disguised in human skin.

The third person was a middle-aged woman wearing a pair of glasses and had a sophisticated presence to her.

The last person surprised Yoze as he was Cold Joe whom he met back at the Blood Armor Sect's encampment. Cold Joe had his arms and legs chained and was missing his sword. 

Seeing Yoze standing in front of him made Cold Joe shiver but his face remained as cold as ice as if he had already prepared for his death.

"This is the man, commander," The guard that Yoze was speaking to respectfully said to the young-looking Blood Master.

"Oh, so you are one of the Jade City's scholars. Congratulations on making it all the way here safely." The young man that seemed to be a sort of Commander spoke highly of Yoze.

"Thank you, it was a bit tough but now that I have arrived I'm ready to put my skills to use." Knowing this man had a high position Yoze replied as respectfully as he could.

"Yes, before that let's talk about what we found about the information Jade City wrote about you, Sarah could you please provide us with the information?"

"Of course, " The middle-aged woman stepped forwards and began to read aloud the information on the slip.

After reading a section, she would look at Yoze and ask if he had anything to add. Of course, Yoze knew this was a test to verify that he was a scholar and not a random person who stole a scholar's identity.

The only way to pass this was by adding in information that could be close enough to the slip but also adding in things that weren't written down but hinted at.

"You are a martial art enthusiast and worked as an Advisor for Jade City's Martial Courtyard. Do you have anything to add?" 

"Yes, while I did work for the Martial Court Yard as an advisor I didn't add too much as there were plenty of more experienced Scholars who knew the in and outs much better than I did. So I frequently took their advice to take a look around before speaking." 

The moment Yoze finished his sentence, the middle-aged lady stopped her line of questioning and gave the slip of paper back to Yoze but not his wooden badge.

"That confirms he is a scholar." The middle-aged lady then turned to Yoze and continued.

"Yoze since you have so much experience with Jade City's Martial Courtyard you will be a great fit for ours. The monthly salary is 150 silver and you will need to only head over once you receive a summoning. As for right now, please enter and log in the place you will be staying at and any other types of useful information." The middle-aged lady tossed out where Yoze was going to work before walking inside.
