Chapter 597: Alliance High-level Black Shop! (Two in One)
After seeing this, Gervis memorized the two thick books on necromancy in his mind.
At this time, the sun was setting outside, and Gervis touched his belly and walked out of the room.
When he came here earlier, Laci told him that the school had a special cafeteria, so Gervis now prepared to go directly to the cafeteria of the magic branch to have dinner.
Walking along the tree-lined avenue, Gervis soon saw a large building.
This is the cafeteria of the Magic Branch. Since there are four to five thousand students in the Magic Branch, this only cafeteria is naturally large in scale.
At this moment, almost all the students coming in and out of the cafeteria are wearing magician robes.
However, the magician's robes come in two colors: gray and black.
Students wearing grey robes made up the majority of the crowd, as grey robes represented trainee magicians.
The black magician robe can only be worn by junior magicians or higher-level magicians.
Soon, Gervis followed the crowd into the cafeteria of the Magician Branch.
The layout and furnishings inside were similar to what Gervis remembered, with wooden tables and chairs arranged in rows, and students could sit down wherever they wanted.
Gervis didn't delay and soon came to the cafeteria's window to buy food.
But when Gervis came to the window, he suddenly felt unwell.
Because the food in this college cafeteria is so damn expensive.
A portion of low-level Warcraft barbecue weighing about half a pound actually costs two gold coins.
A piece of white bread costs 50 silver coins
A bowl of ordinary mushroom soup actually costs 60 silver coins. Gervis really wants to ask if these mushrooms grow on the gold.
The price of food in this cafeteria is more than ten times more expensive than outside.
"Student, do you want it? If not, please move aside!"
Seeing Gervis standing there in a daze, the student in charge of serving the food said something to Gervis impatiently.
They were working part-time at the college to earn credits, so the sooner Gervis and the others finished eating, the sooner they could finish work.
"Of course, give me double portions of all these!"
Seeing that the student had a bad tone, Gervis didn't give him a good look either. He just pointed at a few dishes that looked delicious and said something.
Although it was too expensive, Gervis still had a lot of gold coins on him, and he also had a lot of deep-sea pearls, so he could still afford such consumption.
…
After having a delicious meal in the restaurant, Gervis went straight back to the dormitory.
Since the academy's fees are so unscrupulous, Gervis needs to become a junior magician as soon as possible so that he can waste less money.
You know, one gold coin can feed his family of four serfs in Storm Territory for more than a year.
But here, a meal for Gervis costs three or four gold coins, which makes him feel it is not cost-effective.
After all, as long as you become a junior magician, you can save 90% of your expenses.
There was no conversation that night, and Gervis spent the whole night practicing meditation. He could already feel that he was getting closer and closer to a breakthrough.
The next morning, Gervis got up early.
From today on, he will relive his school life. He really wants to see how magic knowledge is taught in this different world.
After quickly washing up, Gervis went directly to the cafeteria and spent a gold coin to eat half a pound of monster meat, then walked towards the teaching building.
He also wore a gray magician's robe today. This robe was distributed by the Alliance Higher Academy and was also allowed to be worn outside the academy.
Now that he had the academy's student card, as long as Gervis didn't use magic on the streets of the city, the Magicians' Association wouldn't cause him any trouble.
Following the team of students all the way to the teaching building, Gervis walked into the hall and looked at the signboard, which listed several types of magic: wind, fire, water, wood, undead, and light.
Gervis thought for a moment, and finally headed directly towards the Undead Department classroom.
Although he also knows fireball, he still prefers undead magic.
Soon Gervis arrived in front of a single-family two-story building.
That’s right, this is the classroom for necromancy. The first floor is for practical training, while the second floor teaches book knowledge.
It was still early, so when Gervis walked into the door of the small building, many students came in from outside. However, these people did not know Gervis, so no one paid any attention to him.
Gervis had no intention of striking up a conversation, but followed them up to the second floor in silence.
When Gervis reached the second floor, he discovered that all the students had to swipe their college cards in front of the classroom door to enter.
"Huh? Why is there a magic circle set up like in the dormitory, and you need to swipe your card to enter?"
With such doubts, Gervis put his student card on it.
"Why no response?"
But when Gervis put his student card on it, he found that the magic circle that had been working normally before did not respond at all.
"There are so many tricks in the last school, this academy is simply inhumane!"
Gervis looked at the students coming from behind and could only wait and take a closer look at their operations.
"Harry!"
Just at this moment, a pleasant call suddenly came to Gervis' ears.
"Miss Adela!"
The person who called out Gervis was the beautiful Adela.
Adela was wearing a black wizard's robe today. Although her exquisite curves were covered by the robe, it could not hide her tall figure.
"Harry, you are now an auditor at the academy, so you can call me classmate from now on!"
Adela had a good impression of Gervis. After all, no one would dislike a man who was willing to risk his life for his teammates, so Adela's tone did not sound distant.
"Okay, Adela-san!"
Gervis felt Adela's kindness and did not insist.
When the students passing by saw Adela talking to a strange man like this, they stopped to watch curiously. Adela rarely stayed alone with boys on weekdays.
"Harry, why are you in our classroom? Aren't you a fire magician?"
Adela ignored the looks of others and continued to ask Gervis.
"I am indeed a fire mage, but I can actually learn necromancy, so that's why I came here!"
"What? Oh my god, Harry, you are a dual-type magician? And it's necromancy and fire magic!"
This time, even the usually elegant and dignified Adela couldn't help but let out a low cry. Magicians who possessed dual talents were rare to begin with, not to mention that Gervis also possessed talents in fire and undead.
Both of these magic systems are extremely powerful. As long as Gervis works hard, he will definitely achieve great success in the future.
Even the students who had stopped to guess why Adela was talking to this strange young man showed surprised expressions.
"Yes, Adela! But I couldn't enter this classroom just now. Adela, did you find out what happened?"
Gervis didn't expect that possessing two types of magic at the same time would surprise Adela. After all, he was a man who possessed all types of magic.
As long as he is willing, it wouldn't be a problem even if he has a big fireball in his left hand, a tornado in his right hand, and a skull standing in front of him.
Of course, Gervis also knew how to keep a low profile, so he had no plans to show off his other magical talents in front of others in the future.
"Really, Harry, let me see your student card!"
After hearing Gervis's question, Adela recovered from her shock and was about to pass Gervis's qualification card.
Just by taking the qualification card and looking at it for a moment, Adela knew the problem.
So he smiled slightly and said, "Harry, did you fail to pay the tuition?"
"What? I still have to pay tuition? Why didn't anyone tell me when I was going through the enrollment procedures yesterday?"
Gervis was speechless.
When we were going through the admission procedures yesterday, the staff member didn't mention it, and Gervis was still sighing at that time.
Colleges and universities are different. They don’t even require tuition. But he was just being wishful thinking. Without paying tuition, they wouldn’t even let him enter the classroom.
"We didn't charge you any fees when you enrolled. This is because many students don't know which branch of magic they are suitable for. At that time, the instructors will practice meditation with the new students. Once they are sure which branch of magic they are suitable for, they will start charging according to the different branches of magic."
"And each magic department has different charging standards!"
Adela explained it in great detail, and Gervis finally understood it. To put it simply, the magic charging standards of each faction in the Magician Academy are different.
Therefore, you need to decide what type of magic you want to learn, and then pay for it.
As for why Laci didn't remind him since he was with him at that time, Gervis guessed that Laci definitely didn't need to go in person to pay tuition.
Moreover, he is a titled knight, so he is probably not familiar with the magician branch.
"Thank you, Adela. I'll go pay the tuition now! But where can I pay the tuition?"
"It's at the credit exchange office of the academy. Just tell the person in charge which department of magic you want to study, and you can come directly after paying the tuition."
"Okay, see you later, Adela-san!"
After saying hello to Adela, Gervis ran out of the teaching building.
He found that auditors really had no human rights. If it weren't for his acquaintances like Adela and Lucky, he would really be in the dark.
Soon Gervis arrived at the college's credit exchange office.
There weren't many people here at the moment, so Gervis didn't have to queue.
"Student, what do you want to do?"
Gervis walked straight to a counter. There was a girl about 17 or 18 years old at the counter. She should be working part-time at the college to earn credits. Her service attitude was much better than those who served food in the cafeteria.
"I want to pay the tuition! How much does it cost to learn necromancy magic?"
Gervis spoke directly and explained his purpose.
"Wow, classmate, you can actually learn necromancy!"
The girl first let out a low cry, then looked at Gervis with envy before continuing.
"The tuition for one academic year of Necromancer is 5,000 gold coins! Classmate!"
"What? 5,000 gold coins a year?"
Gervis's hand, which was taking out the black purse, trembled uncontrollably, and he silently stuffed the purse, which contained only a few hundred gold coins, back into the purse.
"Are you sure this is a senior student of the Alliance, and not a high-level black shop of the Alliance?"
Gervis cursed in his heart.
"Yes, classmate. Because necromancy is quite special, the price is a bit higher. The tuition fee of 5,000 gold coins includes magic books, magic potions and practice materials provided by the academy!"
The girl who received Gervis stared with her round eyes, somewhat puzzled as to why her classmate who could learn necromancy had such a painful expression.
Being able to learn the magic of the dead is something that many people wish for.
"Necromancy is a bit special, but what about other types of magic? How much is the tuition?"
Gervis felt a little painful, even though what the girl said was right, learning necromancy was indeed quite special.
For example, other types of magic do not require the study of sacrifice, which can save a lot of money in learning.
"Other departments?"
The girl looked at Gervis even more confused, but when she saw Gervis' handsome face, she still answered patiently.
"Light magic requires 4,000 gold coins, and wind, fire, water, and wood magic require 3,000 gold coins!"
“…”
Gervis didn't know what to say about this. All the gold coins he had on him were not even enough to pay the tuition.
"Classmate, I don't have enough gold coins. Can I use something else instead? If not, I will come later!"
Although Gervis didn't have many gold coins on him, he had quite a few deep-sea pearls, so he asked if he could use the deep-sea pearls instead.
If that doesn't work, he'll have to go to the inner city and find a store to exchange it.
"You can't use other things to replace tuition fees, but you can use things to exchange for credits, and credits can also be used as tuition fees. One credit is roughly equivalent to ten gold coins!"
"Is that so? Then help me see how many credits one of these deep-sea pearls can be exchanged for."
After hearing what the girl said, Gervis took out a deep-sea pearl and looked at the exchange rate first.
"Wait a moment, classmate!"
The girl took the deep-sea pearl from Gervis, first looked at the size, then looked for it in a book and soon found the corresponding price.
"Classmate, a deep-sea pearl like you can be exchanged for 60 points!"
The girl replied with a smile.
According to what the girl said before, one point is equal to ten gold coins, so 60 points are equal to 600 gold coins.
Gervis thought about it. The shopkeeper last time said that the market price of a deep-sea pearl of his size was about 700 gold coins.
It’s not a rip-off to exchange it for 600 gold coins here at the academy. After all, the market price is the selling price of those shops. I’m just about to take the items to ask others to buy them back, so being forced to lower the price is definitely a rip-off!
"Then please help me exchange these 10 into credits!"
As he spoke, Gervis once again took out nine deep-sea pearls of similar size.
"Okay, classmate!"
This girl was also very efficient. She checked the authenticity and size of the deep-sea pearls one by one, and quickly registered 600 points on Gervis's student card.
"So, classmate, are you still ready to pay the tuition now?"
Holding Gervis's student card, the girl asked with a smile.
"Well, I'll pay it! But..."
Gervis nodded and spoke calmly.
"I'm going to learn fire magic!"
"ah?"
Thanks to "Qia Shang is young." and "It's decided to be you, Arceus" for the rewards!!!
No more tonight, go to bed early everyone!!!
