Chapter 12 Curse

The Adventurer Training School in Naspar is definitely not comparable in size to a university, but it is much larger than an average high school. Because it was at the forefront, it was once very valued. At its peak, the annual enrollment was 1,500 to 1,000 people.

between.

This number does not seem to be an exaggeration, but if you take into account various factors such as the productivity of today's society, the convenience of transportation, and the risks of the adventurer's job, it is already quite a lot.

As for now...

The enrollment rate plummeted with the disappearance of the violent demon king. The result of twenty consecutive years of decline is that there are only a few dozen this year.

So Pei Renli, who followed the staff along the path under the wall, saw almost no one. Even if there were occasionally, they were just school workers doing chores. Not only could he not see the students from the previous class, nor the teachers, it seemed that the school

It's very empty.

Being an adventurer is not a profession that requires just taking classes. Experience is far more important than theory. Schools that train adventurers have many internships.

In the two school years, the first year only involves internships nearby, and most of the second year, the teachers will accompany them to farther places for internships. The students and teachers from the previous school year cannot be seen because they have not returned yet.

But even if we include them, it is true that there are few people in the school.

After bypassing the large buildings that were boarded up and not being used, almost half of the school area was bypassed, and then rows of masonry buildings appeared behind the green belt composed of fir trees and shrubs.

The building is made of bluestone bricks painted with paint. The style is quite similar to the Tongzi Building, but it seems to have only two floors.

This is the school dormitory, and in order to cope with the huge increase in the number of people during its peak period, it looks like a residential complex at first glance.

If you look closely, you will find that every six households in the dormitory building share a corridor and stairs, and the numbers are written on the walls.

Pei Renli was assigned to 2205. This number means the fifth room on the second floor of Building 2.

I took out the old and old-fashioned large brass key I got from the housekeeper, and opened the door lock that could fit my finger into the keyhole. As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of dust.

It was visually estimated that it was a room of less than ten square meters. The window with light blue curtains faced the door. The only furniture was a bed, a desk, a wardrobe and a small locker.

Opposite the bed at an oblique angle is an interior door. When you open it, you will see a shower room of less than three square meters inside.

After opening the window and letting the spring breeze blow in to disperse the smell of dust, Pei Renli sat down on the bed, feeling very satisfied.

Although it needs to be cleaned, compared to the six-person dormitory that Pei Renli lived in when he was in school, this place is simply heaven on earth.

The treatment at the Adventurer Training School is quite good, which has nothing to do with the small number of people. Even at its peak, it was still at this standard, and the tuition is very cheap.

The local currency is not paper money like on earth, but metal currency is still used.

The smallest denomination is a small triangle made of copper, which is called a dime. Five dimes are equal to one copper coin, one hundred copper coins are one silver coin, and ten silver coins are one gold coin.

I heard that there are also platinum coins worth ten gold coins, but because there are few countries that mint this kind of currency, they are basically not circulating in the market.

The development of the banking industry is very slow, and there are no money orders or checks. There is only a kind of gold certificate that is limited to local deposits and withdrawals. When large-scale trade is required, gemstones of equivalent value are usually carried.

Each country will mint its own coins, but the only difference is that the patterns of the coins are slightly different, and the weight and purity are equal, so almost all styles of currency can be spent anywhere.

Even though it is so convenient, it still has something to do with the devil.

If the currencies of each country were different, the calculation of integrating resources to fight the Demon King would become very troublesome, so everything including currencies, such as weights and measures, would be unified inexplicably.

The tuition of the Adventurer Training School is low. Those who do not live on campus are basically locals. The tuition is five gold coins. Those who live on campus are double that, which is ten gold coins. Regardless of whether they live on campus, all students can have three meals at the school.

The school cafeteria solves the problem without any extra money.

This amount of money is enough for a middle-class family with a decent job to save for a year and a half.

It seems like a lot, but compared to the tuition fees for a college student on Earth, it is indeed low enough.

Tuition fees are cheap because there are subsidies from various countries. Even if it is declining now, you can still get some. Tuition fees have not increased at all.

Having said that, as the Demon King Pei Renli, he should be very rich. The Demon King is also a king. It is unscientific to think about every huge treasure house.

Yes, Pei Renli is very rich. He can take out a dozen copper coins in his pocket, which is quite a lot as pocket money.

This is all the funds that Pei Renli, as the Demon King, can currently use...

Originally, the tyrannical demon king left behind a lot of gold and silver treasures, but they were all thrown into the crystal ball by Ravna in the past twenty years, and now there is really not much left.

After rummaging through the warehouse, even looking under the table and under the bed, only a dozen gold coins were found. Ten of them were used to pay for tuition, and to buy Pei Renli an outfit and some clothes. He also had to leave some money.

as a reserve.

After all, Perrenli can rely on the school cafeteria, but Ravna also needs regular meals.

So, there were only a dozen copper coins left in my pocket...

Having said that, Perenli actually didn't have to stay overnight. He relied on Ravna's teleportation to travel from the Sea of ​​Trees to Naspar, so it would only take a little trouble to travel back and forth.

But firstly, it was troublesome because he had to rush for time, and secondly, Pei Renli didn't want to be teleported away all the time, especially when a flash of white light in front of his eyes was similar to teleportation.

What he experienced on the first day of traveling was really a bit unbearable for me to look back on. Besides, if food expenses are included, it is not as affordable as accommodation.

There are not many things to eat in the depths of the sea of ​​trees. Basically, every meal is roasted pheasant and hare with boiled wild vegetables. Ravna doesn’t care much about it, but Perrenli can’t stand it. It’s okay to eat it occasionally, and every meal is fine.

It was too wild to eat.

Having money is very important. If you want to quickly improve your chances of surviving the Demon King's Arena in a short period of time, you can buy a lot of practical magic items with your money. But judging from the current financial situation, it's better not to do it yet.

this dream.

There is no need to worry about making money for the time being, and magic items cannot be obtained with a small amount of money. Pei Renli threw the backpack containing a change of clothes on the bed and immediately went out again.

I came to the dormitory first just to check the situation, and then I have to go to the classroom to check.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Since the school was very large during its peak period, Pei Renli almost got lost in the school. Thanks to the occasional encounter with a school staff member, and the occasional sighting of a new classmate, he was able to find the classroom.

From the outside, the classroom looks like a two-story building, but when you enter, you find that it is actually a stepped classroom. Each classroom can accommodate hundreds of people. There are more than 20 similar buildings in the school, which shows the glory of its peak period.

The seats are not just for casual seating, but have been re-numbered. It can be seen that even if they are in decline, they still have the dignity they deserve.

——There is only this bit of decency left.

Pei Renli's admission certificate says '19', which is the first row and ninth row on the left side of the door.

This position is next to the window and is truly the protagonist's position. However, when Pei Renli followed the number and found it, there was a problem.

There are already people on the seats.

She has gorgeous red hair and the posture of folding her arms to make her bust more prominent. However, this girl seems to have dissatisfaction written all over her face. I don't know if her aunt is in a bad mood.

Pei Renli repeatedly confirmed that the number was correct, and the latter also noticed Pei Renli, who was standing beside him without moving, and turned his eyes.

Although she is sitting and her gaze should be lower than that of Pei Renli who is standing, it gives people the illusion that she is looking down, revealing that she is repelling people thousands of miles away.

He didn't dare to take a breath, and his aura was so fierce that others seemed to be avoiding him.

Wow, who is showing off? It’s so irritating!

"Um...are you sitting in the wrong seat?"

She made Pei Renli feel very much like the monitor in high school. As the most popular student in the class, Pei Renli had been fighting wits with the monitor for three years, which was certainly true.

After listening to Pei Renli's words, the latter took out his admission certificate and looked through it, and then a hint of embarrassment flashed across his originally serious expression.

"sorry……"

The sound was no louder than that of a mosquito, almost like what was squeezed out of the throat. He stood up hurriedly and gave up his seat to Pei Renli. He took two quick steps and ran to the empty seat in front of him.

It turns out she is 16……..

Can this be seen wrong?

When she walked away, she could clearly feel that the people around her were relieved, but the people in front were nervous.

"You actually dare to talk to her, that's awesome."

As soon as Pei Renli sat down, the buddy in the front row turned around and said.

He was very small, with the top of his head reaching Pei Renli's waist at most, as if a normal person had shrunk.

This is a halfling, with a body shape equal to that of half a human.

"Almost no one here dares to talk to her."

"Why?"

"Her name is Kaya Wegelin."

"Noble? Is that why?"

Ordinary people in this world do not have surnames. Only people with a certain social status have them. Basically, they are nobles.

There are not many nobles in the adventurer training school, but they are quite a lot, accounting for about one-third of the total number.

Even nobles are the bastards of minor noble families. They are the type who have no chance of inheriting the title. They become adventurers mostly to find a way out in the future.

The halfling looked at Perenli's expression and found that he really had no reaction to the name, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Although it is just a rumor, it is said that she has a curse on her. Her parents and relatives died tragically after she was born, leaving only one brother alive, and he is also disabled."

If we were on earth, this would be almost equivalent to feudal superstition, but in a magical world...

I'm really not sure.

No wonder everyone seems to be avoiding her. She is a very good-looking mobile disaster star, and no one dares to get close to her.

"It's not just rumors, I've seen it with my own eyes."
