Chapter 157 Lost 100 million, the Archmage summoned
The Magic Council's training courses started in mid-July and ended temporarily on December 21st - the New Year's holiday.
Starting from the 22nd, students can happily eat, drink, have fun, and wander around the Magic Council headquarters. They will not come back until the New Year to continue the next half of the course.
Naturally, December 21st became the day when training transcripts were issued.
"Amanda Tedder, c."
"Ah..." A red-haired girl walked up to the podium dejectedly and took the transcript and paper from the teaching assistant.
She was playing a little crazy during this period. After five months, her mental power had not increased by more than 30% from level one to level two, and the highest score she could get on both papers was b-. Although it was sad to receive such a rating, it was nothing.
Completely unexpected.
"Christian Price, b-."
A blond boy came to the stage to receive the documents. When he scanned the cover of the paper, his brows immediately jumped: How is it possible! How come the article "The Impact of Different Parts of Bats as Spellcasting Materials on Echo Magic" was only rated B-! He originally thought he could get an A.
!
Sorry, I’m not having a good time this New Year...
"Corian Franz, b."
The names were announced one by one by the teaching assistant, and the students stepped forward to receive their papers one by one, and then retreated from the podium in disgrace. The grading of this training class was quite strict. There were only three A-s and six or seven A-s in the whole class of seventy or eighty people.
b, the rest are B and below.
A group of boys and girls who were selected and sent here with the title of "genius" and "elite" looked at each other, and all of them looked ugly. A few students who got C- were frightened and beat their chests frequently:
It’s okay, okay, it’s almost D. I’ll have to interrupt my studies and be sent home when I wait.
The teaching assistant was unselfish and read the list one by one, finally reading the last one:
"Gretel Nordmark, uh..."
What, no?
Why not?
There was a slight commotion in the classroom. The teaching assistant took off his monocle, wiped it, put it back on, and looked at it again. At the end of the form in his hand, there was still no score next to Gretel's name, replaced by a line of small words:
"Thesis score is pending."
The teaching assistant read it out loud. Gretel went up to the stage to get the report card. Along the way, the boys and girls whispered to each other and talked about it:
"No, there's none of this?"
"It's been almost ten days since the paper was handed in..."
"I remember he came here just last month?"
"Yes, I remember it too."
"Maybe it was because the paper was too poor and it was withheld?"
"Maybe it wasn't written at all?"
Grete returned to his seat with strange looks on his face. The teaching assistant knocked on the podium and concluded with a smile:
"Okay ladies and gentlemen, enjoy your New Year's holiday. By the way, before the holiday, you can go to the college library and exchange your grades for some magic."
The students ran away. It was rare for so many exchange opportunities to be opened at one time. The scrolls in the library were limited, first come, first served, and last comers could only pick up what others left behind...
Grete sat in the last row and shrank into the seat. The table was immediately hit several times one after another. These mages are usually all delicate and delicate, but now they didn't pause or cry out in pain. After the collision,
He took the table, turned around and ran towards the back door.
With a bang, Grete watched helplessly as the two mages huddled together and got stuck at the back door...
He waited until the classroom was clear, then slowly picked up his schoolbag and walked out slowly. There is a small library at Bridge Magic Academy, which does not allow students to borrow books. They can only read in the library, and they can only read basic and principle books.
books.
As for wanting to learn a certain magic? Sorry, you can either spend gold coins to buy it, or exchange it with contribution points from the Magic Council...
The borrowing area was crowded at the moment. Although seventy or eighty students were lined up in a long queue, they couldn't help but jostle and push each other, trying to get closer. Gretel passed them towards the reading area, and heard the administrator behind him.
Stop answering:
"c? Madam, you can redeem two level 0 magics. Please check the list yourself."
"B-? One level 1 magic, one level 0 magic."
"A-? Sir, there are two level 1 magics and one level 0 magic. The borrowing time for teaching scrolls is 10 days... Oh, let me see, the holiday is coming soon. You can borrow it until the end of the New Year holiday."
So I missed an opportunity for grading... Is it equivalent to missing an opportunity to learn magic for free? Gretel folded his feet and returned to the borrowing window. On the other side of the library, a red-haired lady was leisurely reading a book. Grete asked with a smile.
she:
"Excuse me...what are the conditions for borrowing magic?"
"See for yourself." The lady didn't even raise her head, and pointed to the wall. A flash of light flew out from her bright red robe, and Grete turned around and quickly scanned the price list on the wall:
Level 0 magic, teaching scroll borrowing fee is 100 gold coins, or 100 contribution points;
Level 1 magic, teaching scroll borrowing fee is 500~2000 gold coins, or an equivalent amount of contribution points.
Level 2 magic...
The borrowing period is 10 days. If there is any damage, compensation will be made according to the price.
Gretel:!!!
I feel like I missed a hundred million, no, I missed several thousand gold coins...
Gretel raised his neck slightly and froze in front of the price list for a long time. He turned around, lowered his head, and shuffled away. Alas, with so much magic in front of him, he could only watch, not learn...
In Heartland City's mage tower, half of the level 0 magics are only listed by name, and there are no teaching scrolls to learn; there are only 1/3 of the level 1 magics; more than half of the level 2 magics are definitely missing. I want to learn other things.
Yes, either magicians can exchange it privately, or they can buy it with money from the Magic Council.
Who was in charge of reviewing his paper... Why did everyone else's scores come out but not his... During this New Year holiday, I could have learned several new magic spells...
"Gret Nordmark?"
Suddenly a voice sounded at the door. Gretel turned around and turned towards the door with his classmates. A fifth-level mage in red robe hurried in, holding a piece of paper and looking around the crowd:
"Who is Gretel Nordmark?—Is it you? Follow me!"
"What?"
"The Archmage wants to see you!"
There was a sudden silence. Gretel was carried out of the library by the red-robed mage under the astonished gazes of his classmates, and was thrown onto a black horse.
From the height to the saddle to the eyes and posture, the black horse looked very standard. At first glance, it was the product of [Summoning Mount]. The red-robed mage shook the reins, and the two horses galloped through the college and across the street.
We walked higher and higher, closer and closer to the foothills, and soon we stopped in front of a long building with a curved roof.
Grete looked at the ceiling in confusion. The style was so familiar, it always felt like a train platform... The technology tree here has a train? When was it made? Apparently all physics professions use carriages, and magicians like to summon mounts.
of……
Then, Gretel really saw the train...or something that looked like a train. The length was not very good. Compared with the EMUs in the previous life, even the green trains were a bit shorter, and the carriages were also narrow.
Quite a bit. But the carriages were really sliding on the rails, clanking, clanging, clanging, and gradually rising up along the foothills.
"Where are we going?" Gretel asked curiously. The red-robed mage said matter-of-factly:
"Go up to the magic tower! - The Archmage is very busy, will he come down to see you?"
