Chapter 42: The Exclusive Domain of the Rich
Su Mu quickly sorted out his clothes, so that himself, who was wearing a burqa and a hood, looked more like a spellcaster he expected.
Then he carefully covered the long sword at his waist, and then walked neatly towards the academy branch.
The Collège is housed in a large Rococo building facing the central square of the city and occupying a large area behind it.
Surrounded by milky white colonnades, various colors of Qi lanterns are extremely extravagant.
And in the curved dome in the center of the foyer, there are countless delicate colors inlaid with magic, and there are constantly changing curly grass and flowers, or birds and fish.
However, at this time, Su Mu did not stop because of the glitz in front of him, but continued to walk along the corridor behind the foyer towards the registration location marked in the guide.
With the guidance of this way, the last place Su Mu came to was another hall on the side of the complex.
It seems that this hall itself is the place where the enrollment assessment is registered.
......
However, when Su Mu took a deep breath and really pushed open the two wide wooden doors at the registration office, the scene that instantly met Su Mu's eyes was obviously beyond Su Mu's original expectations.
I saw that in this simple and luxurious hall, there was no smell of dust at all.
Even faintly, it makes people feel a little noisy.
Because at this moment, in this hall used to sign up, there were no less than dozens of people standing. There are also countless waiters holding trays in their hands, carrying drinks and desserts, constantly shuttling through the crowd.
And everyone here, they are dressed in delicate and neat dresses, and they also talk to each other about the fashion of the world, as if this is a salon of the upper class.
In such an environment, Su Mu, who broke in a burqa, was particularly abrupt and dazzling.
Therefore, before Su Mu could speak, someone had already asked in amazement:
"Excuse me, are you? This is the admissions office of the Northern Academy of Magic, and if you want to take the magic level test, you should go to the other side of the foyer. ”
Obviously, although the questioner could easily identify that he was indeed a spellcaster through Su Mu's dress.
However, for some reason, he never seemed to think that Su Mu was here to sign up for the assessment, and even when he looked at Su Mu, he always had a natural sense of override.
But Su Mu's answer was obviously beyond everyone's expectations:
"Uh...... Excuse me, where can I apply for the examination at Northland College?"
As for Su Mu's rhetorical question, not only the questioner just now, but immediately stared at Su Mu with a strange face. Even the other people around him also looked at Su Mu.
And in their eyes, there was not even deliberate disdain.
What you really have, but you are really incomprehensible.
Then, at Su Mu's insistence, the crowd silently gave way to a passage, allowing a middle-aged man at the back of the hall to slowly walk towards Su Mu's location.
But what is even more bizarre is that even the middle-aged man in charge of enrollment seems to be full of incredulity in the face of Su Mu who is dressed like this.
Even he was slightly skeptical, and once again confirmed:
"So, you also want to apply for the Northern Academy of Magic?"
All this in front of him has undoubtedly made Su Mu feel more and more confused.
However, the matter of applying for the Northern Magic Academy is indeed too important for Su Mu today, no matter how embarrassed Su Mu is at the moment, he has to make a serious confirmation after all.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man did not deliberately make things difficult for Su Mu, but silently led Su Mu, who had attracted a lot of attention, to a huge desk in the corner of the hall.
Then he gently handed a magic paper to Su Mu to fill in the information, and quickly continued:
"The minimum way to sign up is to reach the realm of the sixth order of small characters, you must already know it. And now you only need to fill in all your personal information into this magic form, and you will be considered to have completed the registration for the assessment. ”
Saying this, the middle-aged man paused slightly.
In fact, for most of the applicants, the middle-aged man's task has actually ended here, but only for Su Mu, who is out of place in front of him, the middle-aged man still subconsciously reminds him:
"After filling out this form, you will also need to pay the quiz fee, registration fee, and prop consumption fee, a total of 40 gold coins. And you must complete the payment within three days, because the assessment will officially start after three days. ”
And if you don't pay the fee by the deadline, this information about your registration ...... It will also be cancelled!"
......
There is no doubt that Su Mu did not finally understand the strange eyes of others until this moment.
It turns out that in this world, magic is the exclusive domain of the rich.
Based on Su Mu's perception of the purchasing power of the world in front of him, in fact, the so-called gold coins are already a currency that is difficult for ordinary people to access. Even if it is a fifth- or sixth-order mercenary with small characters, he can only earn a few coins in a single mission.
Therefore, for a sixth-order magic apprentice with a small character, if he didn't rely on the generous support given by his family, he would have to do everything he could to sign up for the assessment.
Therefore, for Su Mu's insistence on applying for the exam, those people were so surprised.
However, at this moment, Su Mu was also calm and did not show a slight discoloration.
Anyway, there is at least a three-day buffer for the deadline for payment. Su Mu made a big deal for him, so he sold the three-grade thin blade under the robe, and he was able to solve the current embarrassment after all.
So after filling in the identity information, Su Mu still got up and left calmly.
Even before leaving, I didn't forget to thank the middle-aged people.
And Su Mu's calm and unhurried style really made the middle-aged man in front of him look sideways slightly.
After all, in terms of middle-aged experience, he has already seen a lot of people who are rich in resources, have broad knowledge, or even have extraordinary talents.
But every year, there are only a few people who can be successfully admitted to the academy from Maz City.
Therefore, most people in the hall at this moment do not expect to be able to really pass the examination, but simply regard this assessment as a gold plating in life, so as to completely turn this place into a place for socializing.
But the only exception seems to be Su Mu in front of him.
Su Mu obviously didn't bother to communicate more with this group of rich children, and he was also very clear about the real purpose of his coming here, and even the surprised eyes of others seemed to be difficult to affect Su Mu.
Therefore, looking at Su Mu's distant back, the middle-aged man silently classified Su Mu as the focus of this assessment in his heart.
......
However, what the middle-aged people didn't know was that the reason why Su Mu left there so simply was not because he was disdainful of others at all.
On the contrary, it is ...... In front of a group of local tyrants, there was a deep helplessness.
Su Mu had never heard of the mainland situation in that group of people, and Su Mu did not dare to waste the boring time that that group of people consumed at will.
Even the group of gentlemen in front of him, the self-confidence they have built up by money, Su Mu is working hard to pursue.
Therefore, under such an embarrassment, where did Su Mu dare to stay longer.
I could only escape in the wilderness, surrounded by a group of local tyrants!
