Karl knew that things were going to go sideways the moment that Lotus followed Remi out to vet their candidates.
The candidates that had gathered were mostly nerdy demon children in their early teens, too small for a heavily physical trade, and too timid for business.
But Karl had some hope that they would make a reasonable selection, even if it was mostly based on who could get to the posting the fastest. It had been up less than an hour, which didn't seem like much time for good candidates to find out about the job.
Especially if they were already in the city working day labour.
But luck was part of the requirement when it came to getting the best jobs. The ones who were in the right spot at the right time were the ones who got the opportunities.
With the assistance of the Guards, they quickly formed two groups. Ones who had seen Alchemy done before and ones who had not.
