"Ah, what a drag."

After spending the whole day pacifying rowdy kids, Wisteria found herself extremely tired and stressed out.

Even though her work for the day was already done, Wisteria could not find the energy to be happy, as she was too tired to even be happy.

She only wanted to take a deep sleep, which could hopefully help remove her weariness.

"If this is the type of the kids that I will teach, then this year will be extremely hellish for me..." Wisteria muttered to herself as she continued walking. "Sigh, I wish I can stay alive by the end of this year…"

She did not even look at the massive building behind her as she appeared to be in a rush to leave already.

She just passed through the exit gates without greeting anyone, making those around her feel awkward.

Of course Wisteria ignored all of these as she sped up her walking pace.

"Tsk, because this the first day of school, I had to fix a lot of things on my faculty office. Those co-workers of mine are too eager to do a lot! Don't they know that I also want to rest already?" Wisteria grumbled as she began to think ill of her co-workers. "I mean, I know that you are excited to have a colleague like me, but that does not mean that you can just delay me from leaving!"

"Plonk." After she said these words, Wisteria suddenly stomped her foot on the ground. The asphalt under her feet cracked a little from the impact, although they quickly healed, as if there was something that allowed it to regenerate.

"Plonk plonk plonk." Although the ground seemed to be unaffected by her actions, it did not deter Wisteria at all, as she continued to stomp the ground for a few more times, and she only stopped when her breathing turned back to normal.

She appeared to be back on her calm state, with her face turning back on its normal shade.

"…"

Whether other people saw what she doing was not Wisteria's worry anymore, as right now she was thinking of something more important.

"Haah… I still haven't eaten lunch, so I am starving now. Should I cook for myself, or should I just buy food outside?" Wisteria thought to herself with worry as she scratched the back of her head. "Eating my own cooked food can let me save money, but my palate will suffer. If I buy food outside, then I will surely enjoy its taste, but it will be my savings that will be affected…"

As she reached this conclusion, Wisteria could only slump her shoulders in defeat, as she realized that she was really not cut out for this kind of life.

"I wonder how I would fare if I lived at the same time as our ancestors…"

Due to the advanced technology and the sophisticated rules that were brought by Emperor Litch and his Undying Empire to the Four Moons World, a lot has changed for the past 200 years.

One of these changes was related to the political structure of the Four Moons World. No matter how much people complained, all the outdated political structures in the Calamity Era were all abolished, which was then promptly replaced with a democratic government.


Of course to say that this government is democratic is a bit of a stretch, as it was still under the rule of the Undying Empire as some kind of vassal state. But who cares about that? The Undying Empire was an Inter-Galactic Empire comprised of thousands and thousands of planets. For a planet like the Four Moons World to be part of the Undying Empire was already a great honor!

This political change naturally had a large effect on everyone on the Four Moons World, and this change was more prominent on the financial lives of the people.

During the Calamity Era, a Celestial or a Devourer can just use their abilities to obtain money from people. But here at the Prosperity Era, everyone must work in order to earn money. No one gives a s**t about your powers. In face of the Undying Empire and the great power of Emperor Litch, your power means nothing.

If someone wants to be useful in this current age, they must show their worth in the work force! It is here where the true competition lies!

And unfortunately for Wisteria, she was not cut out for this kind of environment at all.

[[[Author's Note: Ah, it's the good old capitalism.]]]

"Ah forget it. I will just cook food later. I can't afford to waste money now…" Wisteria muttered to herself as he kept her lip shut. She then took a deep breath as she continued to walk.

She does not have enough money to pay for her fares, so she had no choice but to reach her home by walking. Obviously, she was embarrassed by this, but with her situation, she can only suck it up and deal with it.

"Ugh…. Once I receive my salary, I will really buy a nice car! Even an antique one will do!" Wisteria mumbled as a dreamy expression appeared on her face. "Sigh… I hope that I won't get any salary deductions…"

Wisteria then continued to daydream as she continued walking, with her body miraculously evading the obstncles that appeared on her path. Her path to reaching her home appeared to be smooth now, and if nothing else disturbs her, she will be able to reach her home in less than 30 minutes.

But it was right at that moment that someone had disturbed Wisteria.

"Excuse me, but are you perhaps a Teacher from the General Arthur Institute?" A young male, probably around the age of 25 years old, suddenly appeared in front of Wisteria.

His current positon blocked Wisteria's from going forward, which forced the woman to stop.

"What do you want from me?" Wisteria said in a low tone as she did not bother to hide her irritation at the newcomer. "Do you have a problem with me or what?"

"Oh… I was just actually inquiring if your Institute is accepting new teachers…" The man said as he gave Wisteria an apologetic smile. His black hair swayed behind him gracefully, making him look both gentle and kind.

Wisteria did her best to not be dazzled by this man's handsome face as she quickly answered his query.

"The institute does indeed need one new teacher. Wait, why are you asking that to me?" Wisteria's face suddenly narrowed in suspicion as her voice became slightly hostile. She then began to look at the man with more wariness, as she realized that tthere was something off about him. "Are you asking that because you want to apply for that position?"

"Yeah… I have always wanted to be a teacher, so I reckoned that I could apply here." The man replied as he seemed to have not noticed Wisteria's hostility. "There's no problem if I do that, right?"

"Yes, there is indeed no problem. But you cannot just ask me. If you want to apply, then you should send a letter to the institute first." Wisteria said as she kept her body tense.

"Wait, I still have to send a letter to the institute? But that's too hassle!"

"Yes it will be a hassle. Aside from you, there's a lot who also applied for the position that you were seeking for." Wisteria replied as she gave the man a mocking smile. "There are a lot of great teachers out there, so I doubt that someone like you can be accepted."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"…"

"So if you don't want to be embarrassed, I suggest that you should just go home and look for a different work." Wisteria said as her lips curved up in a sneer. "That will be a better fit for you, Mr…"

"Alexander. Mr. Alexander." The man replied casually as he gave a little bow to Wisteria. "But I prefer if you will call me Alexander. I like it when pretty girls like you call me casually."

"Well then, Mr. Alexander. You just heard my advice. I suggest that you should follow it." Wisteria said as she waved off Alex's somewhat flirty words. "Excuse me, but I need to go home now. Just deal with your work stuff elsewhere."

Wisteria then slightly pushed Alexander sideways as she attempted to get past him.

She was successful on pushing him, but she was unable to take a step forward, as the previously outgoing Alexander suddenly said something that made her freeze on her tracks.

"From the way that you talked, you are making it appear as if your work and life are both good. But they're not, right?" Alexander said as his breath tickled Wisteria's ears. Wisteria ignored this slightly tingling sensation on her ears as she was only taken aback by what she has heard.

"You are now drowning in debt, and your current work is not enough to supplement your daily life." Alexander continued to say as he shook his head. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. 10 Million Galactic Credits is a large debt. Even I am not sure if I can pay that."

"You…"

"I really pity you, Miss Wisteria. You clearly have no relations with this debt, but your heritage leaves you with no choice but to stick with it." Alexander mumbled as he gave Wisteria a pitying look. "You can't eene find a boyfriend because of your current state. Sigh… I can't even imagine a life that can be worse than yours…."

"You! What do you want from me?" This time around, Wisteria did not hold anything back at all as she glared at Alexander with her full-powered killing intent. Her clothes began to rip slowly as her power seeped out of her body.

 She then pointed her left hand at Alexander, who only raised his hands in surrender. This did not make Wisteria relieved at all, as Alexander still had that cocky smile even when she was already pointing her weapon at him.

"You're asking me what I want from you? I think it should be the other way around. I think I should be asking you on what you want from me." Alexander said in a confident tone as he kept his hands up. He seemed to be unfazed with Wisteria's sudden change, and it just served to unsettle Wisteria more.

"You are not making any sense here, Mr. Alexander!" Wisteria hissed as her killing intent on Alexander increased. "If you continue to speak like that, I will have no choice but to take you down!"

"Easy there, Miss Wisteria. I just wanted to have a deal with you." Alexander replied as he shrugged his shoulders.

"A deal?"

"Yes, it's just one small deal." Alexander said as he tilted his head. "It will be easy for you to accomplish, I promise."

"Listen here Mr. Alexander. I don't give a c**p about your deal." Wisteria hissed once more as she bared her teeth at Alex. "I don't have any interest on what you will say. So just keep your mouth shut and just allow me to take you dow-"

"You must help me get hired as a teacher at the General Arthur Institute. In exchange for that, I will help you with your debt." Alexander quickly said, interrupting Wisteria's scripted rejection. "From the depths of my heart, I promise you that all your debts will be paid. Just… help me get hired as a teacher."

"What?"
