12: interview

This interview was of extraordinary significance.

It not only concerned Green Anglet's future prospects but also whether he would have sufficient financial resources to support the tuition fees for two subjects.

Therefore, Green Anglet was still very nervous.

Time passed inadvertently.

According to Green Anglet's estimation, each apprentice spent about ten minutes in the interview.

The apprentices who finished their interviews did not linger in the shop; they all said goodbye and left.

Green Anglet couldn't discern anything from their faces.

Nor did any apprentice state on the spot that they had passed the interview.

He guessed it was similar to job interviews on Aqua Blue Star.

Everyone had to go back and wait for notification... In this regard, Green Anglet was very experienced.

Back in the day.

When Green Anglet was looking for a job in his senior year, he submitted hundreds of resumes and participated in over a hundred interviews, both online and offline, within three months.

One-on-one, group interviews, three rounds, leaderless group discussions, and so on... there was a wide variety of formats and clever names, and the questions encountered were also wildly imaginative.

There were conventional basic questions, such as personal interests, hobbies, specialties, and strengths, and whether he had a career plan.

There were also some bizarre questions, such as, if the company needed him to work overtime, would he choose to work overtime voluntarily, or work overtime obligatorily, or voluntarily work overtime obligatorily... “Apprentice number eight, come in for your interview!”

Finally, it was Green Anglet's turn.

Green Anglet slightly straightened his grey linen robe, rubbed his face, making himself look a bit more energetic.

Green Anglet followed the guide into the inner room.

Upon entering, he saw three interviewers sitting behind a jujube-red large wooden table, with a lone square wooden chair directly facing the interviewers.

Green Anglet first walked slowly to the square wooden chair.

He bowed to the interviewers:

“Greetings, mentors, I am Apprentice Number Eight — Green Anglet.”

The interviewer in the middle was a kind-looking old man,

He was probably Old Moler, as mentioned by Oakes. Old Moler nodded and said, “Please sit, Apprentice Green Anglet.”

“Thank you, mentor.”

After Green Anglet sat down, he straightened his back, his eyes fixed straight ahead, meeting Old Moler's gaze... “Relax, Apprentice Green Anglet...”

“Let's just chat casually, like a tea party.”

“I'm very curious, Apprentice Green Anglet, why did you choose our Botanical Garden? Are you planning to pursue the path of a Magical Plant Cultivator?”

Old Moler asked kindly.

Green Anglet sat upright and formally.

He replied with a firm tone:

“Yes, mentor.”

“I plan to take subjects related to Magical Plant Cultivator in the third Five-Year Grand Examination and obtain the title of Intermediate Magical Plant Cultivator in the fourth Five-Year Grand Examination.”

“The reason I chose your Botanical Garden is that my good brother recommended it.”

“He said your Botanical Garden is extraordinary.”

“Throughout the entire Heart of Plants Wizard Academy, it is one of the best.”

“And your accomplishments in Magical Plant Cultivation are also among the academy's top-tier...”

“Not to mention, your Botanical Garden is full of talented individuals, a galaxy of stars.”

“For a newcomer in Magical Plant Cultivation, this is the best internship platform, providing us newcomers with the most suitable environment for growth.”

“I believe that with the valuable experience of studying and interning in your Botanical Garden, I will definitely pass the third and fourth Five-Year Grand Examinations smoothly.”

...“Haha...”

All three mentor-interviewers couldn't help but smile, and Old Moler in the middle even burst out laughing.

“You... you, why are you speaking such blunt truths...”

“Alright, Apprentice Green Anglet.”

“Second question, what are your thoughts on the functions and roles of Magical Plant Cultivator in our Wizard Academy?”

“Cornerstone!”

Green Anglet said with powerful words:

“Magical Plant Cultivator is the cornerstone of our Wizard Academy!”

“Without the diligent cultivation of our Magical Plant Cultivator, we would not be able to harvest a massive amount of basic resources, and thus would not be able to support the current prosperity and flourishing of Heart of Plants.”

“It is precisely by relying on thousands of Magical Plant Cultivator that our Heart of Plants Wizard Academy can compete with the Radiant Fire Wizard Academy, which possesses a small resource secret realm.”

“Numerous Magical Plant Cultivator are the walking secret realms of our Heart of Plants Wizard Academy!” Green Anglet replied with conviction.

“Good! Excellent insight!” Old Moler stroked his grey beard, unable to help but smile... “Young man, you see things very clearly...”

...“One last question for you...”

“One day, while patrolling the Botanical Garden, you discover a Demonized Plants undergoing an unknown change. Although you don't know what this change is, you feel a sense of unease. At this moment, what would you choose to do?”

Green Anglet pondered for a moment... He organized his thoughts and replied methodically:

“First, I would confirm what this changing Demonized Plants is.”

“If it's something I've never seen before, I would note its characteristics, then go to the library to consult materials, and after finding its detailed information, compare whether this change has been documented, and whether it is beneficial or harmful.”

“If, based on the documented information, it is judged to be beneficial...”

“I would compile the situation into a report and submit it to the duty Wizard of the Botanical Garden.”

“If it is determined to be harmful, I would take different measures depending on the urgency of the situation and whether it could cause harmful spread, such as immediately notifying the duty Wizard or directly notifying you, the director.”

“If I cannot determine whether its change is good or bad even after consulting the materials.”

“I would follow my inner guidance...”

“I would find the duty Wizard, report my concerns and understanding, and at the same time request a more senior Magical Plant Cultivator to investigate the root cause of this change.”

“There is only one principle: strive to eliminate all uncontrollable factors in their infancy to ensure the safety and stability of the entire Botanical Garden.”

...“Good, that's the kind of rigorous thinking we need.”

“The cultivation of Demonized Plants cannot be handled carelessly; any carelessness or laxity could lead to irreparable losses.”

“I'm sure you know that cultivating Demonized Plants is hard work, and what you earn is just hard-earned money.”

“If you're a bit careless and incur some loss.”

“Then forget about making money; in serious cases, you might lose all your capital.” Old Moler sighed with empathy,

“That concludes today's interview...”

“Young man, whether you can intern at my Botanical Garden or not, I hope you maintain today's serious and rigorous attitude, which will be of great help to your future development.”

“Go back, and come back at noon to check the notice. The admission list will be posted on the door...”

“Thank you, Mentor Moore, for your guidance...”

“I will firmly remember your teachings and consistently practice them in my future work and life.” Green Anglet said solemnly.

Before leaving, he bowed to the mentors again...
