Chapter 974 974 Employment Prep Course
"Why don\'t we hold a refresher course? We could update the training of everyone who wants to apply, and use it to filter the skills that the Nobles of the other world are going to need? The big cities will require them to know a bit of everything, but the smaller peerages will be more workplace injury and childbirth focused, with a side of common illnesses." Wolfe explained.
Saint Josephine, the Fae Saint in charge of Fearia, nodded happily at the notion.
"I think that\'s a wonderful idea. It will also turn them away from the path of curses and repurposed harmful magic. Now that they aren\'t harming anyone, and with the spells that you provided cleansing their curse corruption, even the older witches are starting to smell better.
I know that there aren\'t many Fae, and certainly not many full-blooded Fae on that world, but if they\'re going to keep expanding and exploring, it is better that they have healers who don\'t give off the stench of corruption.
The Beastkin are greatly enjoying the change, now that they\'re around more witches. The corruption naturally makes them wary of witches, but they have no aversion to the younger ones. For the Noble households, who treat beastkin as servants of the lowest order, we want the witches to seem like friends to the commoners.
Only when they have gained the trust of the commoners will they be able to do their jobs properly, and bring that cesspool up to a somewhat reasonable standard of living." She insisted.
Of course, the witches could also use a wide variety of elemental magic, so they would be able to teach the ones who were learning the magic of the human mages new spells. They could be teachers, healers, and the general go to resource for magical assistance.
Wolfe might not know these witches personally, but they were from regions under his protection, and that gave him a sense of protectiveness, a desire to ensure that they were properly valued for their skills.
The ones from the One World Army didn\'t know much about Elemental Magic, unless they had learned it more recently, but they could still use it. A bit of practice and a reference guide for the basics would allow them to do most of what they were likely to be asked.
It was the Garden Charms that were going to give them the most work, Wolfe was certain. Everywhere they went, that was what everyone wanted. Food security.
"A course here at the school is a great idea. Especially if we make them a set of textbooks to take with them. They can contain the basic recipes and inscriptions for the spells they\'re likely to need, in case they find more witches and want to take in an apprentice. I doubt there are any witches in that world, but there might be some that just don\'t know what they are." One of the assistants suggested.
Wolfe nodded. "That\'s not a bad idea. A little reference guide for the lesser known witch magics that might come in useful at work, and some potions that don\'t get brewed unless you actively need them, would be a good start.
If there are witches there, I didn\'t sense any sign of them in the capital, so I don\'t think there are any. However, some of the potions are simple, and only need mana inserted at the end, so the witches could take on an assistant alchemist to help them.
It would also give them a proper medical reference for various diseases and illnesses, which the soldiers from the One World Army never learned, as they focused so much on combat charms and offensive curses.
Being in cities that restrict curse usage to zero has to have been hard on them, and the more other magic they know, the easier it will be for them to adapt to the role of healer."
The Representatives nodded in unison. "It\'s decided then. We will add an extra underground area for the expanded Academy, where exploding potions won\'t set fire to the city, and we will prepare to teach both aspiring Doctors and the incoming wave of beastkin servants that they wanted us to teach elemental magic to.
It\'s perfect timing, really. Halfway between the mating festivals gives the students plenty of time to get to know the locals before the push to start dating and find mates happens again. I\'m quite certain that we informed King Petros that it could be difficult to hire them back once they were trained."
Wolfe laughed. "I don\'t think half of them care. They\'re going to send us all the promising beastkin from the slums, and they only need so many magical servants. They just want them gone to reduce the crime and poverty in their cities. If they\'re really lucky, the ones they send here might send money home, and then they will be able to lift their families out of the slums, reducing the population in poverty even more."
Cassanova the Incubus Overlord snorted in amusement, the heart shaped tip of his tail thumping on a nearby table.
"There is a need for poverty. You can\'t get rid of it until you move those who are only one step above it further up the quality of life meter. Then those above them, and so on all the way to the top.
We\'ve done this before, an initiative to give Rank one and two prostitutes a larger cut of the money they make. It ended up causing a backlash and a demand for lower rates because those that the other types of Demons saw as the lowest were getting above their station." He explained.
Ah, the joys of politics.
