"I didn't say that. It's just that something was wrong with Merlin yesterday. That's what you thought!" Fate shouted hurriedly. He didn't want to be beaten up by Chris. Among the three of them, Chris was the strongest. She was already a magic swordsman at the level of a junior magician.
There is no so-called fighting spirit in this world. The basis of everything is magic. The magic swordsman is a branch profession of the magician. Compared with the focus on long-range spells, the magic swordsman uses magic to strengthen himself and close combat.
"Merlin, isn't it just the Leo family's debt problem? Don't worry, I will tell my grandfather right now and ask him to transfer money to me!" Chris patted her chest and promised.
Merlin's mouth twitched slightly and he waved his hand, "I'm fine. As for the family debt, let's see how it goes. Besides, 500,000 gold coins is not a small amount."
"It's only 500,000 gold coins. Our Plantagenet family is not as poor as your Leo family."
Although I can feel the other person's good intentions, why am I so unhappy?
"You are worthy of being the most favored daughter of the Duke of Plantagenet. Unlike me, an unappreciated prince. Let alone 500,000 gold coins, even 50 gold coins are a huge sum of money for me." Fate said in a mean manner as she stood behind Chris.
When Chris heard Fate's somewhat ambiguous words, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she turned around instantly and gave a gorgeous kick with her hind leg.
Of course, this was just an action to scare Fate, and the boot stopped before it touched Fate's face.
Fate seemed to be familiar with this kind of thing. He stretched out his hand to push away Chris's boots that stopped in front of him and said, "Chris, to be honest, I don't think your grandfather can pay 500,000 gold coins for Merlin, even if it's your request."
"You should know that Merlin is from the Leo family, a noble family of the Dawn Empire. The Turing Empire has always been at odds with the Dawn Empire, not to mention that your Plantagenet family is a hostile family of the Leo family."
What Fate said was right. Chris and Merlin had a good relationship, but that didn't mean the family relationships behind them were good. The Plantagenet family was one of the few families that had defeated the Leo family. It was precisely because the Plantagenet family defeated the Leo family in the war hundreds of years ago that the Plantagenet family became the Grand Duke of the Turing Empire.
The Plantagenet family was also defeated by the army led by the Leo family. These two families could be said to be arch-enemies a hundred years ago, and even a hundred years later, the relationship between the two families was not very good.
However, compared to the declining population of the Leo family, the Plantagenet family is thriving.
"What should we do? Are we going to watch Merlin being kicked out of the Arcane Academy because he can't pay the tuition for next semester?"
Merlin rolled his eyes helplessly when he heard Chris' words. People said that this girl was straightforward, but he felt that Chris's EQ was too low. However, he also knew that Chris was worried about him, so he didn't care about it. Instead, he rubbed his brows and said.
"Let's not talk about these things anymore. Classes are about to start. As for the tuition for next semester, let's talk about this later."
Merlin didn't want to think about the future now. The most important thing right now was the alchemy class. After all, their alchemy teacher was not an easy guy to talk to.
Chris and Fate then realized that they were going to be late for class. Thinking of Teacher Harrington's temper, they shuddered and quickly left the dormitory with Merlin and ran to the teaching building.
The architectural styles of most Olympiad schools are typical Gothic or Baroque, with towering spires and exquisite stone carvings making them look particularly spectacular.
The Arcane Academy has a cafeteria, but for Merlin and the other two, there is not enough time to have breakfast, so they can only jog all the way to the classroom.
Merlin, Fate and Chris are all students of the Alchemy Academy. They are first-year students of the Alchemy Academy, but they have been studying here for several months and are no longer considered freshmen.
Merlin and the other two entered the classroom. The Arcane Academy emphasized openness and flexibility. Classrooms often do not have fixed seats, and students can choose seats freely according to their needs.
Entering the classroom, Merlin and the others found a seat and sat down. Other students sat in twos and threes on comfortable chairs. Some were concentrating on taking notes, while others were discussing today's course in a low voice.
When Merlin and his two companions appeared, many students had various expressions on their faces after seeing Merlin. The boys who were not on good terms with Merlin smiled sinisterly, while others smiled playfully.
Some pretty girls looked at Merlin with some concern, but did not dare to talk to him. Many of them seemed to be gloating over his misfortune.
Most of the boys in the classroom hated Merlin, mainly because Merlin was so handsome that it made people jealous, and they hated his cold personality even more.
Therefore, Merlin's popularity in the class is actually not very good.
It seems that many people already know about the bankruptcy of the Leo family.
Merlin frowned as he looked at the expressions of his classmates. Was the news transmitted so quickly? Or is it that the Leo family has made too many enemies, and is being monitored by other nobles at all times?
Just as Merlin was thinking, a young man with a somewhat wretched and shifty look came up to Merlin with a few lackeys.
"Hey, Leo Merlin, I never thought that such a serious thing happened to the family, but you can still come to class as if nothing happened. Shouldn't you drop out of school now to save some money for your family?"
The tone of the voice made people feel very uncomfortable. Merlin took a look at this guy and found out that it was the "rat man" Sigma. He was called "rat man" because he looked like a rat with shifty eyes and his voice was sharp and unpleasant.
There are always students comparing Sigma and Merlin, one is famous for his ugliness and the other is famous for his handsome appearance.
What Sigma cared about most was his appearance. When he saw how handsome Merlin was, he became jealous. He also kept hearing other people compare him with Merlin. Over time, he began to bear a grudge against Merlin.
Pruk Sigma, the third son of Count Pruk of the Turing Empire.
Chris couldn't help but frown when she heard Pruk's words. She stood up and pointed at the guy's nose and said, "Rat man, don't look for trouble. Before the Leo family was fine, you didn't dare to speak out. Now that the Leo family is in trouble, you jump out."
After Chris said this, the class immediately erupted in whispers of discussion.
"Oh my god, I thought the news was fake, but I didn't expect that something really happened to the Leo family!"
