After seeing the others off, Ye Zhen returned to the inner room and saw Ye Chen looking at the sky with a melancholy expression.
"Sigh... My irresistible charm means I'm recognized no matter where I go!"
"..."
Emerging from the Relief General Store, Harold and the others were momentarily bewildered. They had originally come to ask Ye Chen for advice on how to study and survive in the Elf Royal Academy, but now it seemed the problem had circled back to square one: they could only rely on themselves.
“The adults always say that being strong yourself is the most important thing. I guess he thinks we don’t need his help this time, so let’s do it ourselves. Anyway, all students start from the same point!” Sarah said to the group as they stopped outside the dormitory area.
Everyone agreed with this, so after exchanging contact information, they each headed towards their respective dormitory buildings.
This route map is marked on the terminal, and it's currently the only one marked with a large red dot, as if constantly reminding these students that they should go back to their dorms, or they'll be sleeping on the streets.
"This thing is pretty convenient," Harold said, standing in front of his dormitory and looking at the tablet in his hand.
The Elf Capital is sparsely populated, and the Elf Royal Academy occupies a considerable area. Therefore, the dormitories for teachers and students in the academy are mostly single-story houses with one room per person. Although they are large, they are still extremely luxurious compared to the dormitories with several people per room at Hope Academy.
Most importantly, this is a single-story house with its own entrance, and the exterior is also decorated with exquisite flowers, which is incomparable to the multi-story communal housing of Hope College.
“Speaking of which, this dormitory is even better than my house in New Aini City, isn’t it?” Harold walked into the room, looking at the exquisite decoration, his face filled with indescribable shock.
Suddenly, I realized that, putting everything else aside, the renovation alone was worth the tuition fees he had paid.
"Holy crap! Tuition! Ah! My heart aches!" Thinking of the tuition, Harold suddenly clutched his chest and cried out in pain. One thousand gold coins per academic year, and it would increase by five hundred every year. This tuition was not something an ordinary person could afford.
Fortunately, the first year's tuition could be deferred, as long as it was paid within one academic year; otherwise, Harold would probably be kicked out now.
Compared to Harold, who was focused on his wallet, Sarah walked into the dormitory with a face full of surprise, and even immediately collapsed into the soft sofa.
"Ah!!! This dorm is amazing!" she exclaimed, rolling around on the large sofa before suddenly sitting up. "Oh, right, course selection... there's no fixed schedule here, you have to learn everything on your own!"
Sarah said, then picked up the terminal again and began to operate it step by step according to the prompts on the interface. Although girls are often less skilled at these kinds of things, when they really need something, they are actually more able to calm down and follow the instructions step by step than boys.
As the terminal guided everyone back to their dormitories, what followed was a series of introductions about the dormitories and the corresponding residential management regulations. Most people would have skipped over them, but Sarah patiently read through them. The Elf Royal Academy was not like Hope Academy, so it was always good to know more about the rules here.
Fighting is prohibited in the dormitory area, and damaging buildings and facilities is strictly forbidden. Violators will be fined five to ten times the amount of the damage!
"The furniture in the dormitory has the right to be protected. Normal damage can be compensated at half price, but those who are identified by the supervisor as maliciously damaging the furniture will be punished with five to ten times the amount."
"What a harsh punishment!" Sarah pouted, and the guide finally led to the introduction of academic credits.
"There are two types of credits: general credits and major credits. General credits are only used to redeem access to shared facilities and books on campus, as well as elective courses, while major credits affect your year of study."
"Regular credits can be traded, but professional credits cannot be traded; they can only be obtained through coursework."
"Completing a professional course will earn you 1-5 credits for that course."
"As a new student in the academy, you have the privilege of attending three classes for free. Once you've used up all the free time, you can't attend again. The fourth time you attend, you'll need to pay credits!"
"..."
Sarah read the text word by word, digesting the information about credits. This was a habit she had developed over the years: to go through all the important things in her mind first, then sort them out one by one and deal with them one by one.
"So now I should choose an elective course, and then find a relevant instructor to take the course." After finally finishing reading, Sarah nodded as if she understood, and followed the instructions to open the drop-down menu for elective courses!
Suddenly, a large number of instructors' profile pictures appeared, along with their names and areas of expertise, leaving Sarah completely bewildered.
Although the number of Silver Osmanthus Moon Elf members is not large, there are still quite a few of them. They come from various professional perspectives to educate these newcomers, and they have attracted dozens of people.
In addition, people from several other ancient races came to serve as mentors. In total, there were quite a few mentors, almost fifty or sixty in number.
This number might not seem like much in other schools, but considering that the entire Elf Royal Academy currently has over a thousand students, this number is not insignificant.
“Mentor Eve specializes in nature and life magic, which won’t work. I’m a fire elementalist, and it clashes with my magic!”
"Eluvie, the instructor, specializes in lunar magic... that won't work either!"
"Master Zhurong specializes in fire-based laws and physical strength. What are fire-based laws? And they look a bit scary..."
"Mentor Mina, specializing in spatial power, is she a goblin mentor? Forget it, I'd better find someone of similar build."
"..."
After searching around, Sarah still couldn't find a suitable mentor, but she was attracted by the exquisite appearance of the many Silver Laurel Moon Elves.
"So beautiful! Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!" Sarah exclaimed, covering her face. Apart from goblins and Zhu Rong, who were not particularly attractive, everyone else could only be described as breathtakingly beautiful.
"No, no, we still need to choose a course. Let's choose Principal Bella's 'Elemental Deconstruction' for the first time. She's an extremely powerful archmage, and her magical attainments must be very strong. Judging from the way she spoke today, it seems that she doesn't even think much of our Principal Lynn. It seems like she can fight against people of higher levels!" Sarah said excitedly. She selected Bella's course, only to find that it was already full. The principal's courses were indeed popular.
Sarah had no choice but to switch to another course – "A Brief History of Earth", taught by a Yue'e named Ye Yi.
P.S.: On the sixth day after I tested positive, the company forced me to go back to work. I still had to work overtime. I came back around 9 PM, had dinner, and wrote one chapter, but I'm too exhausted to write anymore. I feel like I could collapse at any moment. I'll continue tomorrow night after I finish working overtime and try my best to keep updating before midnight. Sorry.
