Chapter 2276 - He Is Not Someone You Can Lust Over!

Bourell looked at Scheer and met a pretty face with a seemingly gentle smile. He felt the glare in her eyes and shrank back a little. After that, he turned to look at the engineers who looked very enthusiastic, and said, "Don't say that I didn't give you guys a chance. Come forward if you want to take part."

Suddenly, almost all the engineers took two steps forward.

"It looks like you can poach my talents away any time," Scheer told Mag begrudgingly.

Mag did not expect them to be so enthusiastic. However, since they were willing, things became easier to handle.

Mag chose 10 engineers among the group with the help of Scheer and Bourell. Five of them were very talented designers, while the other five had exceptional gifts in machinery forging, materials, and other aspects.

They were all not very old. The oldest was only 25 and they could not be considered experienced engineers.

Mag liked that they were near-clean slates. That way, it would be easier for him to inculcate in them his set of ideology on machinery and they would not be bound by an instilled thought, which might cause a conflict in the latter part of teaching.

On top of that, their basics were not bad, so even if school started immediately, they still had things to teach the students.

"Mr. Mag, are you sure you're choosing these 10?" Bourell looked at the name list and could not help but wonder how he was worse than them.

"Yes, but I'm not sure if they are holding important roles in the steam train project and if they could leave the project." Mag was here to choose suitable people in the context that their work would not be affected.

"Not exactly. They can be replaced for their job scopes," Bourell said with a shake of his head.

"Mr. Mag, these 10 engineers might be going to Hope School but I intend to continue paying them as part of their teaching salary. I also hope to do my part for Hope School," Scheer said.

Mag looked at Scheer with a smile.

How could he not know what Scheer was thinking of? What did it mean for these 10 engineers to go to Hope School but take their salary from Buffett Bank instead of the school? It meant that they still belonged to Scheer.

However, Mag came to find Scheer with hopes of working together.

Scheer was generous enough to lend him her talents and was even willing to pay them a large amount as a salary. This would also lighten Hope School's burden and it was a win-win situation.

She was quite a good partner. She was rich, knowledgeable about the industry, and not greedy.

"Alright, I will thank you on the children's behalf." Mag nodded with a smile.

Mag left Bourell to announce the results. After that, he told the 10 engineers to report to Hope School at 9 a.m. the next morning to take part in the school's test.

After that, Mag did not stay on. He left after promising Bourell to give everyone a lesson the coming week and proceeded to Hope School.

Mag found Luna and told her his intention to set up the machinery college.

"You… have already found the teachers?" Luna looked at Mag in shock.

She only digested the fact that Mag had suddenly added another college after a very long time. What shocked her the most was that he had actually built a team for the machinery college.

"Yes. They are all very young, outstanding, and lively engineers. They are also very professional." Mag nodded with a smile. "On top of that, Miss Scheer is willing to pay their salary, so the school will not have to fork out their pay and will only need to provide them with their basic meals."

Luna opened her mouth slightly and after a while, she bowed deeply to Mag, saying, "I am very grateful for the help you have provided the school."

"Teacher Luna, you are too kind." Mag quickly helped her up and said, "However, they are not professional teachers and they also have not gone through training. Therefore, I would like to push back the machinery college's course by a month to train them so that they can better take on the role."

"These children would require the most basic education after entering school, starting from learning how to read, write, and count. Other than the career training, the more difficult courses can only start after a few months," Luna said.

"That's true. We have to eliminate illiteracy first." Mag nodded thoughtfully and realized that he seemed to have missed that out.

Although Hope School was accepting many students this time, the children had basically not gone to school at all before.

The children of various ages were running around every day just to fill their stomachs. They could not even read, so even if they were to enroll in school, they would have to start by eliminating illiteracy.

However, the problem was not a big one. His culinary training could still continue and at the same time, the teachers for the machinery college could also settle down and use two to three months to learn how to better be a teacher. At the same time, they could use this period to do some academic research.

"Wow, is this Mr. Mag's restaurant? I've long heard that it's the best restaurant in Chaos City. It really lives up to its name."

"Hehe. We made a small windfall a couple of days ago and are treating Captain to a meal. Of course we have to choose a good restaurant."

"Captain, here, queue up in front."

The Rose Mercenary Squad ushered Sivir to join the long line of people at Mamy Restaurant. They were all smiling and were feeling good.

Although they had been through a life-and-death situation two nights ago, they were lucky to be saved by Lord Alex, and not only did he avert their danger, they even earned a big sum by selling that Golden-Eyed White Tiger. Everyone could get more than 200,000 copper coins after the split.

This was a large sum of money to lower-grade mercenaries like them. They might not even make so much money in a year.

They were all recuperating from their injuries over the past two days and today, they were more or less recovered, so they had decided to come out to celebrate.

Sivir was wearing a body-hugging leather suit, which accentuated her figure perfectly. Her red hair was let down and brushed to one side and she was looking at the signboard of Mamy Restaurant with her hazel-brown eyes.

This was not her first time at Mamy Restaurant, but her second time.

Although she admitted that Mr. Mag's cooking was heavenly, it was really too expensive and she did not bear to spend the money to come over again.

She did not sell the Golden-Eyed White Tiger's phantom core and wanted to keep it as a memento.

Perhaps she would never have the chance to see that man again but this phantom core could remind her of that moment and that would make her motivated to become better and stronger.

She had been spacing out often over the past two days. She even dreamt of becoming his maid last night, serving him as he ate and slept…

She really was not that kind of person!

Sivir took a deep breath and told herself, "Sivir, forget him, he is not someone you can lust over!"

The restaurant door opened and Mag walked out with a smile.

Sivir's gaze landed on Mag and suddenly, in an instant, she seemed to find him familiar. Mag and that masked silhouette started overlapping…

"Stop! Stop!" Sivir hit herself on the back of her head. Oh no, her hallucinations seemed to be getting worse. She actually saw Mr. Mag and Lord Alex overlapping. That was ridiculous!

However…

If it was Mr. Mag, it seemed that she could consider him.

He seemed to be single too, right?

Although he has a child.

But that child is rather cute.
