Chapter 02: Blood Elf Magic Academy (2)
"There's a lot of money to be made in the school, and of course, outside the school, and more. But...... How so? It's too much trouble. Or earn pocket money in school fast. I count on it for my cosmetics and everything. ”
"In addition to lectures, what else?"
"For example, helping the magicians with chores, this is more stable, but it needs the consent of the magicians, and they generally only like students with excellent grades. ”
"I'm already helping my mentor with chores. ”
"Well, I forgot that you were a special student and skipped a grade. As she spoke, Mo Shalili suddenly smiled and playfully continued: "Actually, I haven't forgotten, I'm teasing you." And, huh...... Think about it. And tuition?"
"Tutoring?"
"Every year, many children apply for the Academy of Magic, and parents will feel that if they find a 'teacher' who has already passed the Academy of Magic exams in advance - for example, you and I will teach their children, then their children's chances of success will be greatly increased. Actually, you can also hire a magician, but magicians generally don't take this kind of work, and the price is not affordable for anyone. Because there is such a need, the school will organize. All you need to do is register with the academic office and wait in line. I've already had a student get in!"
"Queue?" Hearing the word, Angel was stunned for a moment. He didn't like queuing or anything the most.
"Yes, in line. After all, many students are willing to take on this kind of job. Two silver shells in an hour is much faster than listening to a lecture. But there aren't really that many students who need this kind of tuition, so queue up. ”
"How long will it take?"
"About half a year. ”
"Half a year, that's too long. Anything else?" asked Angell.
"Hmm...... Think about it. Moshalili frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Scholarship? If you have particularly good grades, you can apply." If there is a result, then even more. However, students generally do not have it. The results are all the work of the magicians. ”
"I know this, I've already applied. It's not much, it's only three hundred silver shells, and there is only one chance a year. ”
"Isn't three hundred silver shells a lot?" Mo Shali was shocked: "And ...... I know that some students will bring some magic materials from outside and sell them to their classmates, and seeing how positive they are, they should earn a lot of money. I don't know the specifics, after all, I haven't done it. ”
"With magic materials?" Anjar tilted his head slightly in thought, and said to himself: "The fact that they can sell to their classmates shows that their own costs are relatively low and profitable." I need a lot of magic materials, even if I can't sell them, I can use them myself. It's a good idea, at least to save money. What else?"
"And ......" Mo Shali was helpless: "There is also a teaching post? Our school implements student autonomy, and the teaching staff is actually very small. Therefore, there are many student teaching posts. With such a position, the income seems to be not bad. You've been enrolled for almost a year, don't you know any of this?"
"I don't know. Angel shook his head: "I don't live in school, and I'm the only one in our class. I followed my mentor every day to do experiments, and no one told me anything else. ”
Moshalili was a little overjoyed for a moment: "Then you may need some friends, such as me." My favorite thing is to ask for gossip, and I can tell you every day. ”
Angel apparently didn't notice the change in Moshali's tone, and he patronized to ask him the question he was interested in, "Tell me about the teaching post again." ”
"Hmm...... I heard that there are up to 200 silver shells a month? Of course, the few are only 50 silver shells. This requires campaigning, and it will be hard and time-consuming. As far as I know, none of them have good academic performance. Although even if they do not serve as academic officials, their academic performance will not be good. ”
"Two hundred a month...... That sounds good. And you haven't mentioned the ones that are more out of school. I want to hear it. ”
"Uh......" Mo Shaali was embarrassed, and could only say hesitantly: "I really don't understand those, probably like ordinary people looking for a job." It's always better to find a job if you know magic. It's all part-time, it's hard to say how much you can earn, it depends on how much you can do and how much the boss is willing to pay. ”
Angel kept his head down and jotted it down in his notebook as it was.
The lecture on "The Mystery of the Age of the Red Devil" was finished, but neither Angel nor Mosharili seemed to have heard it, because they were secretly chatting the whole time. At one point, they even spoke a little loudly, and the magicians on the podium began to glare at them angrily.
Eventually, at the end of the lecture, Angel was given a full page of notes on "How Magic Apprentices Make Money" and a subsidy of one silver shell, while Mosharili only received a subsidy of one silver shell.
Looking at Angel's distant figure and a silver shell in his hand, Moshalili sighed helplessly.
"Mosa...... What's Mosha?"
Moshalili, who had just turned around, hurriedly turned around and found that in the crowd that had ended, Angel had come back with a book.
"Mosha, what's the matter? I'm sorry, I forgot your name. ”
"Mosha Lili, Mosa is an elven rune, Lili is my exclusive suffix. ”
"Okay, I remember this time. I didn't really want to remember when you introduced yourself...... I mean, I just didn't hear it. Hope don't mind too much. I can understand if I mind a little. Angel returned to Moshalili.
"Of course I wouldn't mind, how could I mind?" Mosalili smiled sweetly, "Do you have any other questions?"
"I want to know who I should go to for the academic affairs post?"
"You're interested in academic affairs? ”
"It doesn't matter, you can't do experiments without money anyway, and it's useless to have more study time. ”
"Don't you even read the textbooks?"
"I have read all the textbooks for all grades, and the experiments can improve me. ”
"Okay...... Then you can go to Teacher Bernice. She can help you register and then tell you what to do. ”
"Teacher Bernice, I just knew her! Thank you, Mosa...... What's Mosha?"
"Mosalili!"
"Thank you, Mosali!" Angel walked away without looking back.
Moshalili was still standing there looking at Angel's back and smiling.
The female classmate who came with her quietly leaned over to her and whispered, "If it were me, I would have tripped him and stomped on him in the face." It's best to have the heel just in his mouth. After an afternoon of talking, he didn't even remember your name, and it was after you had already introduced yourself twice. ”
Moshalili seriously argued: "He didn't mean it. ”
"Huh. The female classmate rolled her eyes helplessly: "It's because it's 'not intentional' that it's bad......"
......
What is the Academy of Magic like for Angel?
The ocean of knowledge!
And then what?
And then there'...... There are a lot of blood elves? yes, that's about it. In fact, he only remembered the names of two people, one was his mentor Amos Magus and the other was the instructor Bernice.
The Wizard of Amos is because he is Angel's mentor, and you can't forget it if you want to.
Bernice is a special student because Angel is a special student, which means that Bernice will help him with a lot of formalities alone, which means that there will be a lot of contact. It's not easy to forget.
As for the others?
To Angel, they are just a symbol, maybe not even a symbol. As if she had just faced Moshari, Angel couldn't even remember her name. When he memorized magic spells, he never forgot them.
Walking through the long corridor, Angel quickly came to Bernice who was busy and looked at her with a smile.
Bernice was lying on the table writing something, and looked up at him, "Angel, what's the matter?"
"I want to sign up for the academic office. Angel said bluntly.
"You want to run? Why?"
"Because I want to make money, I need money. ”
"But didn't the Amos Magus already give you the position of lab assistant? ”
"How is that possible? There is so little money that it's not even enough for an experiment. ”
"Experiment?" Bernice was a little confused.
"Buy materials. Angel explained.
"Isn't there a lot of material in Amos' lab? I don't think he'll refuse to give it to you. Unless it's particularly expensive. ”
"But there will be missing materials, after all, it was for his experiments, not for mine. I can only use his extra materials. ”
Yes, what Angel said about the material cost of twenty silver shells and eighty silver shells once, that is after deducting the materials already available in the Amos laboratory. In his opinion, the materials that are already in the laboratory are about the same as no money.
"Okay, I guess I understand. But...... My advice is that you don't do that. Bernice explains, "The academic office is too time-consuming, and you should spend more time studying. As for the material you said...... The relevant courses in the school will give students the necessary materials. You can wait until it's time for you to do it. ”
"Yes...... What if there is no material for the course?"
"Then don't do it. If you use your mind to explore magic, you'll be bankrupt. The Amos Wizard only dared to experiment after applying for funds, otherwise his income of 2,000 silver shells a month would not be enough for him to pay for the experiment. Do you think you can?"
Angel looked at Bernice quietly.
Bernice also looked at him quietly.
The two men stared at each other, silent. It was surrounded by people coming and going, and it was noisy.
After a moment of silence, Angel asked softly, "Is there a form?" ”
"Well, I knew I couldn't convince you. How could I possibly convince someone who was still enrolled in the Academy of Magic at the age of thirty-five?" Bernice couldn't help but shake her head, but she still opened the drawer casually, took out a table from it and handed it to Angel: "There happens to be a by-election tonight, and there are six places in total. Some people have given up their teaching posts for various reasons, so temporary staff are needed. There is only one election per year. It didn't start until two months later. ”
Angel took out a pen and asked as he lowered his head and filled out the form, "Since it's an election, what should I do?"
"Give a speech and then they start voting. That's probably it. ”
"Who votes?"
"All incumbent members of the Academic Affairs Post. ”
"In-service faculty members, I thought it would be the whole school or faculty like you who voted. Or let the magicians vote. ”
"That can't be. Bernice smiled and said, "Co-elections are held regularly, should I gather the whole school of magic apprentices every two weeks to get them to vote? There are also the teaching staff, I am only assisting, and it is the students themselves who are in charge of themselves. Nothing was a big problem and we wouldn't intervene. As for the Magus...... I'm asking you to vote, no one would be interested in attending this kind of event, let alone voting. ”
"Okay, I've filled it out. Angel handed the form back.
Taking the form, Bernice looked down twice: "You didn't fill in the candidacy position. ”
"I don't know what the position is. Why don't you fill it out for me?"
"How do I know what you're trying to do......? Okay, I see, your purpose is money, so fill the position with the highest subsidy. As she spoke, Bernice casually helped Angel fill it in: "The one with the highest subsidy is the Vascular Management Committee, which requires a third-level magic certification." How many levels did you last do in your magic appraisal?"
"Level six. ”
"Level six?" Bernice was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head back sharply and looked at Angel in dismay.
"Yes, level six. Angel took out a sunflower medal with a "6" written on it, like a ribbon, and put it on his chest.
Looking at the medal, Bernice took a while to come to her senses: "Well, the world of geniuses is really enviable to ordinary people." I'm only level seven. ”
"You're still taller than me. ”
"But I've already graduated, and you've only been enrolled for a year. Is it honorable to be one level higher than you? I guess you graduated at least fifteen. And your mentor, the Amos Magus, is only level eighteen. Graduates of the 15th grade...... You can apply for the title of Wizard directly. Normally, magicians apply after the age of two hundred. ”
Angel looked at Bernice and shrugged, "That was almost seventy years later. Let's start with the current issues, such as the Vascular Council. ”
Taking a deep breath, Bernice said helplessly: "The work of the maintenance committee is to deal with some trivial matters between students, and there are more things to do, and more energy is consumed. So there are more subsidies. ”
"Okay, thanks. That's it, I'll apply for it. ”
After helping Angel fill out the form, Bernice flipped through her notebook, pointed to one of the schedules, and said, "This is the time and place, you remember it yourself." As for the speech, you have to write it yourself. ”
"What should I write in a speech? I mean, what everybody writes. ”
"Tell people what you're going to do when you take office, what you're good at, and so on. In short, it's about convincing the people who voted to give you their votes, or at least to make them understand why it's better to vote for you than for someone else. To put it bluntly, it's canvassing. With that, Bernice lowered her head and started to get busy again.
"Okay, thanks. Angel nodded, then turned to leave.
What is Magic Certification?
It's a test of how much magic a mage can accumulate on his own. It's one of the simplest and crudest ways to evaluate a magician's strength. Because it was too rude, it was even opposed by many blood elf magicians, after all, in addition to their own magic, magicians also have knowledge and experience.
However, you have to admit that knowledge and experience are actually hard things to judge. Even if the development direction is different, then there is no way to judge the knowledge and experience between the two magicians, not only is it difficult to judge. Magic alone, for all magicians.
Level 6 magic power certification is considered to be a level only available to mid-level magicians among blood elves. Generally speaking, apprentices need to stay up until they graduate to achieve this level.
So Angel, who has just been enrolled for a year, was the Academy of Magic shocked to receive such a certification?
Not...... Not really.
The senior management of the Academy of Magic was shocked, but it was also 'shocked', not "shocked". "Genius" is a thing, you have to be able to go to the end to be a real genius, and the current Angel is at most a seedling that needs to be paid attention to in the eyes of the high-level.
Although Angel's mother was not as strong as Angel when she entered school, she was also a "genius". The result?
As for Amore's mentor, Amos Magus...... He can guess what level Angel is without testing, so there is no "shock".
Others...... The Academy of Magic is big and there are a lot of people, but everyone has their own life. They didn't even know Angel's magic level, and they didn't even know if Angel had participated in the magic test.
They'll soon find out, though.
