On the fifteenth of August, many people in Erepos saw a strange sight of many, many bats and owls grabbing letters and flying to all parts of Mirakesa. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They flew to bustling cities like the Imperial Capital, Agamemnon, and Ramses, as well as to small villages like Hellas and Patilla. There are places of great noise and untouched wilderness.

But no one dared to intercept these bats and owls, because these owls and bats were the messengers of the newly established Prometheus Academy of Magic, representing the Green Dragon Academy and the Bat Academy respectively, and the forces behind them were unimaginable!

So no one would have the guts to intercept these owls and bats.

-----------------------------------

Helja was the child of a villager in the village of Patila in the Duchy of Tartarus, in the territory of Arasong. Like the villagers' children, Helya, who is only nine years old, frolicks with her friends by the river outside the village, helping her family catch two fish and improve their food.

However, just as she was about to catch a fish big enough for her family to eat for a night, a child dressed in a different good dress than the other children suddenly shouted at her, "Herya! ”

Immediately, the fish was scared away.

The dinner in hand was gone, and Helya was naturally very angry, and couldn't help but turn around and roar angrily, "West, you are a weak soul!" Your family is not short of food, but my family is!! Okay now, my fish is gone. You have to stay with me!! ”

Seeing that Helya was angry, Vest couldn't help laughing, and said to Herya: "It's just a fish, and now your family is not short of money!" Why do you want me to accompany you!? ”

Hearing this, Helja was stunned, and then hurriedly climbed ashore from the creek, and asked Vest with a few curious friends, "What do you mean by this, did my parents sell me and my sister?" ”

It's no wonder that Helya thinks so, compared to Helya's family has no land, plus her parents are weak and sickly, it is impossible to farm and hunt like other villagers, and it is impossible to make money at all, so her family wants to have money but to sell their daughter, there is no other way. Moreover, the other night, Helja had heard her parents secretly discussing selling her and her sister in order to support her brother.

Looking at Helya, who was about to cry, Vest was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed at Helya and smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about?" You, like me, were invited to admission to the Prometheus Academy of Magic! ”

A few children of villagers on the side asked with some confusion: "Go to school?" Doesn't it cost money to go to school? How could her family be rich? ”

West glanced at the children of the villagers lightly, and said with disdain: "Didn't you read the announcement a few days ago? However, all students who are admitted to Prometheus Academy, as long as their family income is less than two silver coins per month, will receive three gold coins distributed by the lord as a subsidy! ”

Helja asked in disbelief, "Really?" ”

"Of course it's true! You know, I've got a letter too! In addition, the tax collector has also come to the village with a subsidy, and is now waiting for you to pass! Seeing that Helja didn't believe him, Vest said angrily.

At this time, a villager's child on the side couldn't help but ask, "How much are four gold coins?" How much barley can I buy? ”

Barley is what the villagers usually eat, because there are only dwarves and ale wine, so barley is very cheap and does not sell for much money. Therefore, it is usually cooked with wild vegetables to make cereal porridge, although the taste is not very good, but at least most villagers can rely on this without going hungry. Of course, the Helja family was not among them. After all, her family has no land.

West smiled and said, "Barley? Even if you buy flour from wheat, you can buy two warehouses!! ”

After saying that, West ignored the ignorant villagers' children, grabbed Helya's hand, and ran to the village.

As soon as the other children saw him running away with Herya, they immediately chased after him and ran together in the direction of the village.

A few minutes later, Vest returned to the village with Helja and the other children, and went to the village chief's house.

At this time, Waith's father, Edith, the village's fur merchant, and Helya's father, Rot, are talking to the tax collector.

Although she couldn't make out what they were saying, Helja thought her father was asking if he could replace her with her brother. However, as soon as they approached, they heard the tax collector snort coldly: "Lot, there are some things that we can't change!" The college accepts students and is very strict. I can't afford you to mess around here! ”

As soon as she heard this, Helja knew that she could not be replaced. Although she was very happy, she was a little afraid that her parents would get angry and beat and scold her.

But soon, she heard the tax collector say something like this: "Besides, even if you can change, your son is only three years old, which is not enough to go to school." If his talent is good, he should be charged in a few years. You don't have to worry about it now! ”

The tax collector said so, and Roth was not a fool, so he naturally nodded and said, "I know." ”

At this moment, the tax collector suddenly looked at Helja and Vest and the others, beckoned to the children, let them over, and took out a box of candy for the children to divide among themselves.

However, he left Vest and Helya alone in front of him.

Although she didn't understand what the tax collector meant, some of herya, who was about to be eaten up by the children, obediently followed Vest's example and stood in front of the tax collector without moving.

After a while, when only a little bit of candy was eaten, the tax collector laughed, took out several textbooks and two sets of new clothes that were placed in transparent bags from a large bag he brought with him, and gave Helja two, and said with a smile: "These are the basic textbooks and school uniforms that you will use in class in the future." As for the rest of the textbooks, you will have to go to the city and buy them yourself. ”

As he spoke, he took out six gold coins from his pocket, handed them to Herya, and said, "Although the subsidy for the four gold coins mentioned in the announcement is actually a little secret here, that is, the candy I gave to those children just now. If you can't resist the candy's doubts, then you'll only get four gold coins, but if you resist the doubts, you'll get six more gold coins! ”

Hearing the tax collector say this, Helja couldn't help but blush, she almost couldn't hold back just now, and ran to grab candy with her friends.

The tax collector also knew this, but his kindness did not break it, which made Roth have a slightly better impression of his daughter.

As if remembering something, the tax collector turned to Roth and said, "By the way, this school uniform and textbook must not be damaged, otherwise it will cost you money, and it will be a big burden on your family." In addition, two of the six gold coins are used to buy other textbooks and learning supplies for children, so remember to keep them. You know? ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry. I still understand what magician means! "There are four more gold coins in the innocent place, which can be used to supplement the family, and Rota is naturally very happy. Moreover, he still knows what the concept of a magician is. So he nodded vigorously and said.

"So, this is the admission notice from Prometheus Academy, two children, take a look for yourselves." Smiled and nodded, and then the tax collector handed the two letters on the table to Vest and Helya, and then took his leave to the village chief, and went on his own.

Looking at the exquisite letter in her hand, although Helja couldn't read what was written on it, the excitement in her heart was indescribable!

West, who was on the side, knew that she couldn't read it, so he smiled and looked at it, and read the contents of the letter to Herya.

Vice-Chancellor: Miral Thatch.

-----------------------------------

When they got home, Helja discussed with Roth and Herya's mother, and the next morning, they took Herya's sister and brother with Wisdom and his father to the city to buy textbooks and school supplies.

Because the first class of students of Prometheus Academy collected a lot, even on the side of the Duchy of Tartarus, there were a hundred people, so in the only city of the viscounty, Medeary, they met several students from the Academy of Magic like West and Herya.

Since everyone is a student, everyone comes together and is ready to buy school supplies.

It's just that what neither Roth nor Edis expected was that one of these students was the daughter of the lord of the Arasong Lord!

Watching the lord's daughter chatting with his children, regardless of their identity, the two of them didn't know what they felt in their hearts, but they were all weird.

Suddenly, a richly dressed nobleman put his arm on both of their shoulders from behind their backs and said with a smile: "You don't need to be surprised, they will be classmates in the future, so it's normal to look like this now." ”

Roth and Edis stiffened slightly, looking at the person who was placed on their arms in disbelief......

Seeing that Roth and Eddis's bodies stiffened slightly, the man couldn't help laughing, and said, "Everyone is a parent who treats their children to buy things, and there is no difference in identity." ”

Lot and Edith, as well as the other parents, couldn't say anything when they heard this, after all, they were nobles, and everyone said so, what else could you say as a commoner? I had to be bold and chatted.

Regardless of what the adults were talking about, Helja and West, along with the other children, soon became good friends with the lord's daughter, Valerandi, and went to pick up school supplies.

Like notebooks, magic pens, crucibles for making alchemy potions, and all sorts of things, some expensive, some very cheap, two gold coins almost just right.

Just like the difference between the respective families, the things that each student buys are different. For example, Helya, who doesn't have much money at home, basically buys things related to white magic and alchemy, obviously wanting to wait for her return from school and make some money from these. And the things that Valerandi, who is the lord's daughter, buys are some things that are biased towards the Wolf Academy. For example, the unedged sword, the art of war textbook, and the subject of how to manage the territory and control the guard. Clearly preparing for the future.

Others, like Herya, leaned towards white magic and alchemy, while others were ready to learn elemental magic. West was the only one who bought textbooks for basically all types of magic. Popular subjects such as swordsmanship and alchemy did not buy textbooks and the long swords and cauldrons they needed.

"I remember the basic textbooks were the history of magic, the basic theory of magic, language, mathematics, these few subjects. Looking at the appearance of Erdis's son, it seems that he wants to learn all the magic! Glancing at the textbook that Vester was holding in his arms, Lord Viscount Vincent Keha couldn't help but quip.

Seeing that his son had bought so many textbooks and hearing the jokes of the lord, Edis couldn't help but worry a little about whether his son wanted to learn a little too much.

But since the children have already bought it, you can't say anything, right? Besides, if the child has this idea, there are so many professors in the academy, there should be no problem.

It may be that seeing Edith's thoughts, Viscount Keha didn't make fun of West anymore.

At noon, Viscount Keha led everyone to a restaurant to have the best and most expensive lunch that most parents had only eaten in half their lives. The kids don't know what to do.

Seeing that his father, Viscount Keha, slowly joined the ranks of grabbing food, Valerandi couldn't help sighing, took his future classmates to the next room, ate slowly, and asked people to make some snacks, ready for the classmates to take back and give to the family.

In the process of eating, some children who know words have already begun to read the content of the textbook.

Both the likes of West and Valerandi have begun to explore something they don't understand. However, since neither of them had learned much of the basics of magic, it was basically useless.

And while taking care of her brother's food with her six-year-old sister, Helja can't help but start fantasizing about her future life.

After all, both West and Valerandi said that most magicians are not short of money, and even some magicians have more property than ordinary lords. It's like the salaries of the professors at the Prometheus Academy of Magic, which is thirty-five gold coins a month!

That's not a small amount! Of all the magic academies in Mirakaisa, this salary is one of the best!

The subsidy for poor students like them is only four to six gold coins a year!

What would it be like if she could become a professor at the Academy of Magic...... (To be continued.) )
