Volume 6 Chapter 140 - Magicians Survival Job Security Union
In the history of the Sines Continent, because of the strength of the Magicians Guild, including the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, all companies wanted to become a cooperating company of the Magicians Guild since they could obtain countless benefits that way.
If there was a company that had been defined as a swindler company by the Magicians Guild like the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, a build that people needed to be vigilant towards, all that was waiting for the company was the fate of demise.
After all, the Magicians Guild had a very high position in the minds of most citizens on the continent. Everyone believed the judgement of the Magicians Guild.
Since the Magicians Guild said that this was a company filled with swindlers, they would lose a lot of trust in the minds of most people.
For a company, trust was the most basic thing and if they lost this trust, it was no different from a death sentence.
But this time, this matter developed differently from the past.
After the Magicians Guild named the Frestech Chamber of Commerce that wasn’t accepted by them, not only were the magicians working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce not affected, even the sales of their products weren"t affected at all.
The Magicians Guild’s announcement was like a bug bite for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, although it itched, it didn’t do anything to them.
In comparison, the Magicians Guild branches in the Lampuri Kingdom and the southwest countries actually showed their support for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. They declared that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce supported the work of the Magicians Guild, helping the Low Grade Magicians of these countries very much.
The actions of these branches had greatly gone against what people had expected because them doing this was simply openly going against the Magicians Guild headquarters.
Although in the history of the Sines Continent, there were circ.u.mstances where the branches in certain countries had gone against the decisions of the headquarters, most of them were because of a conflict between those branches and the guild. There had never been a time where it had been for a company like this case right now.
Moreover, it wasn’t just a single branch going against the headquarters, but rather the branches in several countries.
This situation was indeed quite thought provoking.
But this wasn’t what attracted the most attention.
Other than the Magicians Guild branches going against the judgement of the headquarters of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there were two hundred and thirty seven magicians of the Stantine Duchy branch who wanted to withdraw from the Magicians Guild.
Once this matter was reported, it created an uproar.
In the history of the Magicians Guild, there had never been a magician who chose to withdraw. There were usually those that liked to stay alone or those that were called “evil” by the Magicians Guild, but these were only one time events.
However, this time, there were three hundred and thirty seven magicians who withdrew which became a shocking large matter.
The Magicians Guild had a high prestige on the Sines Continent because they were where all the magicians of the continent gathered, also because they monopolized all the magic material on the continent.
Whether it was magicians or powers that were related to magicians, they couldn’t go around the Magicians Guild.
The most obvious example of this was the Magicians Guild’s ranking exam.
This was the only official exam on the Sines Continent, as well as the one that everyone acknowledged.
For magicians, working hard on studying magic and getting a higher level in the ranking exam was what they desired the most, so they had to have experienced it.
If they withdrew from the Magicians Guild, they withdrew from this system. Although they wouldn’t die, that was enough for them to die as magicians.
So unless they had no other choices, there wasn’t a single magician who would choose to withdraw from the Magicians Guild since there were no benefits at all.
So for over two hundred magicians from the Stantine Duchy to withdraw at the same time, naturally people were incomparably shocked and confused.
Just what reason was there for all these magicians to choose to withdraw at the same time?
The Stantine Duchy’s Magicians Guild branch didn’t hide this matter. In the three local Stantine Duchy newspapers and the surrounding countries’ newspapers, they gave a detailed report on this matter.
Through these reports, people finally understood the reason.
It turned out that these two hundred and thirty seven magicians chose to leave the Magicians Guild because of the Magicians Guild’s judgement on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
The Magicians Guild declared that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was an untrustworthy company full of swindlers, appealing to all magicians to be more wary of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. They didn’t just stop with words and actually took action.
For the certification exam that was about to start this year, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s workers were going to join as usual. However, when they signed up for the exam, they were told that because they chose to work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce which was a company that the Magicians Guild had listed as a company to be wary of, they lost their qualification to join this year’s exam.
If they wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the exam, they would have to leave the Frestech Chamber of Commerce first.
The Magicians Guild’s actions had angered the magicians of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. After discussing this, these two hundred and thirty seven magicians chose to leave the Magicians Guild, saying that they no longer needed to be tested by the Magicians Guild.
Moreover, after accepting the interview requests of the various newspapers, the representative of these over two hundred magicians expressed a strong indignation and accusation against the Magicians Guild’s methods.
He pointed out that since the Magicians Guild had been established, its goal was to be the organization that organized and helped all the magicians on the continent. The goal was to help benefit all the magicians on the continent.
But the current Magicians Guild had already turned into an organization that was filled with different factions and self interests.
The elders of the Magicians Guild headquarters didn’t care about the benefits of all magicians, but rather their own benefits.
This kind of organization that went against their initial goal didn’t need to exist at all!
The people who read the report had different reactions to the accusations of this representative.
Most people agreed with these magicians and agreed with the accusations of their representative on the Magicians Guild, but there was a small part that pointed out that these two hundred magicians were from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Their actions this time could be ordered by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, which was the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s plan against the Magicians Guild headquarters.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t respond on this, but there was something that happened next that was a serious attack on the Magicians Guild headquarters.
The over two hundred magicians that left the Magicians Guild suddenly announced not long after that they would be forming a Magicians Survival Job Security Union, which would be simply called the Magicians a.s.sociation.
This Magicians a.s.sociation would be as the name stated, it would focus on helping magicians solve the basic problem of surviving, making sure that all magicians wouldn’t need to worry about basic problems.
At the establishment of this Magicians a.s.sociation, they announced the first chairman would be the one who represented the over two hundred magicians who withdrew from the Magicians Guild, Maze Luther. The Magicians a.s.sociation said that their goal was just to ensure that all magicians had the right to work and wouldn’t have to worry about their basic survival.
Therefore, the Magicians a.s.sociation would work closely with the various companies, including the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. They would be working for every magician, especially those Low Grade Magicians to have good jobs and proper training, so they could work with magic.
This way, the time that magicians spent on their research would be wasted and they could apply this training, as well as continue to work on magic that they loved, allowing them to increase their level of magic.
Compared to the loosely organized and gradual management method of the Magicians Guild, the Magicians a.s.sociation would be focused on the benefits of Low Grade Magicians specifically.
So in less than a month since the Magicians a.s.sociation had been founded, there was an astonishing ten thousand magicians who were willing to join the Magicians a.s.sociation.
This figure instantly shattered the rumours that the Magicians a.s.sociation was controlled by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce because they didn’t employ ten thousand magicians.
There were three thousand that joined the Magicians a.s.sociation from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the remaining seven thousand came from the other organizations and countries outside of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, no one would believe that this Magicians a.s.sociation was completely unrelated to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce because the second day this Magicians a.s.sociation was formed, the Magicians a.s.sociation announced that they had already reached a cooperation agreement with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. It guaranteed that those that joined the Magicians a.s.sociation would receive free training on producing magic machines, as well as giving them over three thousand recommendation spots for magic machine related jobs.
Being able to work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was very attractive for these Low Grade Magicians. Even if they couldn’t work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it was also good to work for the other magic machine companies.
So once this announcement came out, the Low Grade Magicians that joined came in swarms, so that in less than one month, there were over ten thousand members that joined.
But there were many unrelated people who were watching this with the mentality of enjoying the fun of it.
The Magicians a.s.sociation was simply digging out the foundations of the Magicians Guild. The Magicians guild that had grasped these magicians for over two thousand years, how could they sit and watch this happen?
