Chapter 157 Professor, I will do whatever you say

Percy's heart leapt at Sebastian's words.

Help yourself become a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic.

Sounds tempting!

"Professor Swann, I'd like to hear the terms." Percy tried his best to appear less excited.

However, his slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner thoughts.

"The condition is that after entering the Ministry of Magic, you have to become mine."

Is that all you ask?

This is too simple.

Since you have to choose a side after entering the Ministry of Magic, you might as well choose someone who can ensure your victory from the beginning.

Percy's face flushed with excitement, and he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Professor Swan, I do..."

Before Percy could finish his words, Sebastian waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Don't be impatient. Listen to my arrangements for you first. If you still agree to work for me after listening to them, it won't be too late to express your opinion then."

Hearing this, Percy calmed down a little.

However, he still stared at Sebastian intently, ready to hear what plans he had for him.

Percy made up his mind.

If the conditions are not too excessive, then you must agree to it and seize this opportunity.

Sebastian said gently, "First of all, my arrangement for you is not with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement or the Department of International Magical Cooperation."

Aren't these two places?

Percy was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, these two departments have much greater power than other departments.

There should be no department that can compare with these two departments.

wrong!

There was another place that was better than either of these two departments and closer to the center of power - the office of the Minister of Magic.

Percy became agitated again.

Could it be that Professor Swann was planning to arrange for himself to be the Minister's secretary next to the Minister of Magic?

Sebastian smiled at Percy's excitement and interrupted his fantasy.

"Don't get excited yet. My arrangement for you is not in any department of the Ministry of Magic now."

"This..." Percy opened his mouth. He had never expected this result.

If it’s not any department, where can I go?

Professor Swann would not make fun of himself. Since he dared to speak, it meant that he already had a specific plan.

Out of trust in Sebastian, Percy swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and looked at Sebastian quietly.

"Percy, every management position in the Ministry of Magic is currently saturated."

"It can be said that there are a lot of people queuing up behind every position."

“Why should we compete with these people?”

"Why not change our mindset and jump out of the vicious circle of competition and choose a simpler and more direct path?"

"For example, re-establishing a department in the Ministry of Magic. A very powerful department."

“A newly created department means a large number of vacancies.”

"When the time comes, with my support, you can use your extraordinary knowledge to achieve a second or third level jump in your position, or even reach the top in one step."

After saying that, Sebastian looked at Percy with a smile, waiting for him to digest the news.

This news was like a thunderclap, which made Percy dizzy.

It turns out that this is Professor Swan's method and courage!

My vision is still too narrow.

While he was still foolishly thinking about applying for the existing position, Professor Swann had already planned to create a new department in the Ministry of Magic.

What a fantastic idea!

It’s not hard to accomplish this with Professor Swan’s resources and connections.

It seems that Professor Swan has had this idea for some time, and he must have a complete draft in his mind.

It’s just that Professor Swan has been making plans all along and has not yet pushed forward this plan.

Percy's heart was filled with joy, and it was beating so violently that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.

I am so lucky to have come into Professor Swan's sight.

Emerging sector, lots of vacancies!

As long as you seize this opportunity, you can at least save a few years of time in gaining experience.

Percy thought clearly that the conversation was almost over at this point.

Professor Swan would definitely not reveal more information to me before I made my own statement.

For example, the functions of the emerging department and the time when the emerging department was established.

After all, the pie represented by an emerging powerful department is too big, and anyone who knows the slightest information will prepare for it.

If I don’t grab the olive branch offered by Professor Swann, I would be the biggest fool in the world.

Thinking of this, Percy's face straightened and he said with a firm look.

"Professor Swan, from today on, wherever your wand points is the direction I will move in."

"Oh?" Sebastian smiled. "Don't you want to think about it any more?"

"If you agree, I will start assigning you tasks. You will be very busy and tired in the next two years."

"It's no exaggeration to say that the next two years will be even more tiring than preparing for your OWL exam."

"No need!" Percy said without hesitation, "I'm willing to do whatever you ask me to do."

"Very good!" Sebastian nodded approvingly, "The following information is top secret."

"You can't tell anyone, not even your parents."

After Percy made the magical contract, Sebastian continued.

"The new department is called the Ministry of Finance and is expected to be officially established in two years."

"You know, the magic world has never had talent in this area."

"So, for the next two years, you don't need to take any other elective courses except the five basic subjects."

“You need to focus all your energy on learning relevant professional knowledge.”

"The wizarding world doesn't have this knowledge, so I need you to learn the Muggle knowledge."

Sebastian pulled out a letter of recommendation and handed it to Percy.

"Tomorrow, you will take this letter of recommendation and go to the Muggle world to find Mr. White according to the address in the letter."

"He will help you contact a professor at a Muggle university, and let the professor provide one-on-one tutoring and tailor a two-year study plan for you."

"Until school starts, you will study with the Muggle professors."

"Of course, if your family has doubts about your behavior, you can tell them that I have chosen you and invited you to intern at Swan Alchemy."

"As for money, don't worry. I will take care of any expenses during this period. You just need to study hard."

"Don't think it's easy. Just a friendly reminder, your study load is equivalent to four years' worth of work for an average Muggle."

"You need to be assessed regularly by Muggle professors. If you fail, you will not be able to catch up with the establishment of the Ministry of Finance."

"How's it going? Do you have confidence?"

Completing four years of study in two years while taking the NEWT exam into consideration is indeed a daunting task.

But, that’s the Ministry of Finance!

I must seize this opportunity no matter what.

It’s just studying, so give it your best!

Percy gritted his teeth and said firmly: "No problem, Professor Swan, I am confident that I can complete this task."

Hearing this, Sebastian smiled with satisfaction and took out two glasses of red wine.

He raised his glass and motioned towards Percy.

"Cheers to the future Minister of Finance of the wizarding world!"
