All-around teacher at the magic academy

Chapter 180 Development

Rhine stood to the side, watching Tommy, Coby, and Liz celebrate, a warm feeling welling up inside him, and he smiled with satisfaction.

His eyes gleamed with satisfaction, an affirmation of the fruits of their joint efforts.

Before we knew it, almost a year had passed, and during this time, Wan Shi Tong Agency had finally gotten on track.

From being completely unknown at the beginning to having some fame now, they have experienced a lot of ups and downs.

People often come to them for favors, though most are small tasks costing a few rubles. But this commission from Countess Hills is undoubtedly the biggest business they've ever received.

I remember when we first started, the firm's business was not doing well.

Sometimes they can't find a job for days or even more than ten days, so they have to find business themselves through newspapers.

They had been losing money for the past few months, with daily rent and other expenses weighing heavily on their shoulders.

At first, Rhine was about to give up. He felt that no one would come, and it was impossible to make any money. He would be lucky if he didn't lose everything.

During that period, his confidence was severely shaken, and he doubted his decision every night.

However, as they gradually began to receive assignments and diligently completed them, they cultivated a good reputation, and the name of the know-it-all gradually spread among people.

They began to receive more commissions, and their business scope continued to expand.

Now, the All-Knowing Agency basically no longer needs to go out themselves or accept bounty missions through newspapers.

Their reputation and word-of-mouth are enough to attract clients to come to them on their own initiative. Every now and then, someone walks into their small office with a new commission.

On such an ordinary afternoon, they suddenly received a large order.

Now they can rest for a long time, and their income is enough to give them a break.

Rhine still enjoys these occasional little surprises, which bring a lot of fun to his mundane daily life.

If we could get more orders like this, that would be wonderful.

Koby was a new member who joined two months ago. Before that, he knew nothing about the matter, only occasionally asking Rhine some questions about magic.

Finally, Rein couldn't stand Koby's constant bothering him, so he suggested that Koby join the agency, since they really needed more help now.

At first, Koby was a little incredulous. He couldn't understand how these seemingly ordinary partners could suddenly tell him that they had a company.

He even suspected that this was an excuse Reinhard made to appease him and prevent him from continuing to learn magic.

However, when he first stepped into the Wan Shi Tong office and saw the business license hanging on the wall and a wall full of customer thank-you letters (which were fake), he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

It turns out that while your brother was always smiling and laughing with you, you were secretly giving him a big surprise.

Tommy and Liz agreed, and so the small office temporarily became their base.

Everyone has their own role and responsibility, and together they maintain the operation of the firm.

Rhine felt content; he thought his life was pretty good. Although he wasn't earning much, seeing everything moving in a positive direction filled him with hope.

He has already begun planning for the future, considering adding more staff, taking on more bounty missions, and expanding the firm's scale.

Sometimes, when a mission comes up, three people might be sent out to carry it out, leaving Liz at the agency to guard the headquarters.

Although Liz doesn't often go out on missions, her role in the agency is equally important. She is the solid home front, ensuring that everyone has a warm haven when they return.

By the way, Lis also studies magic with Rhine in her spare time. She feels this is quite necessary, since it's always good to have more means of self-protection.

In this world full of unknowns and dangers, having more skills means having more chances of survival.

“Earl Hills, do you know this man?” Tommy’s voice interrupted Rhine’s reverie.

"do not know."

The three of them shook their heads in unison. They were just ordinary people in the city, and they usually only had contact with commoners on the streets. How could they possibly have the opportunity to meet a high-ranking figure like Earl Hills?

"Oh my god, how are we supposed to follow up and investigate?"

Tommy said with some difficulty, his brow furrowed, clearly finding the task somewhat challenging.

"It's alright, we should be able to find out by asking around. After all, he is an earl, so he must have some reputation."

Rhine, on the other hand, seemed more composed. He analyzed, "We just need to spread some rumors in the right places, and we will naturally be able to gather information about him."

“Yes, that makes sense.” Koby nodded in agreement, acknowledging Rein’s words.

"However, I think we should be more careful and not conduct our investigations as recklessly as we usually do."

Rhine continued, his tone becoming serious, "This mission involves the Earl, and if things go wrong, it could cause us a lot of trouble."

"Yes, damn it, it feels like it's too little. I was too hasty and afraid she'd change her mind. I should have asked her to add more."

Tommy said with some regret, tapping his head, realizing he hadn't been calm enough when negotiating the price.

"Indeed, but this is already a lot. This is the largest bounty we've ever received."

Rhine reassured him, a hint of determination in his eyes, "If we do well this time, we'll have more opportunities in the future. The most important thing now is to ensure the mission is completed successfully."
