The door opened, and a hint of wine wafted in.

Slightly drunk, Serem returned to his bedroom.

"I really envy you, you still have academic value to take the exam." Seeing Serem who had come back from outside, Dris, who had just finished meditating, said with sincere envy.

β Academy doesn't have an academic test, and they can't sense the magic element for two years and get out of the way, which is their only elimination test. Everyone had been meditating with all their strength, trying to grasp the magical elements that were floating in the air with their spiritual powers, but until now, no one had succeeded.

"Don't envy us, you are not at risk of being dissuaded, and you have already started to learn to meditate, I don't know how many people envy you." Serem shrugged his shoulders, lay down on the bed, rolled his eyes, and said, "Five noble ladies have asked me what colors of clothes and what flavors of desserts Lord Driss likes...... Why don't you tell me? I can divide you 60% of the silver I earn. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the wizard had strictly forbidden meditation, Serem would have wanted to ask Driss how to meditate. But as a wise man, he knew very well that there was nothing in this wizard's tower that could be hidden from his mentor.

Frank smiled wryly, a little embarrassed.

He knew his best friend was joking.

Will wizards be short of money?

From the moment they became apprentices, worldly money had nothing to do with them.

I don't know how many merchant families wanted to send money to their own family, but their father, the patriarch, sternly refused. Of course, this is not because of aristocratic traditions, he is well aware that his father is waiting for a sale, and it is said that his brother has made a marriage contract with the daughter of a certain earl's family, and the dowry is a manor with an annual output of 100,000 Swiss silver and a set of knight's plate armor forged by Master Escalade, these are things that they have never thought of as down-and-out nobles.

Although it was forbidden to leave the academy, the tutor did not prohibit them from writing letters to their families, and they still knew something about the situation outside.

"By the way, here's it for you," came to mind, and Serem had taken a package from the side and threw it to Derrank.

"This is ......" took the package, feeling the hard touch inside, Derak was slightly stunned, and did not open it, but looked at his friend.

"Low-level magic stones, it should be of some help to your cultivation, at least it can make the magic elements near you stronger. There are also five bottles of tranquility potions, potions that the wizard has personally concocted, which can be used to aid meditation. Serem explained.

Born into a merchant family, Serem is noticeably more mature in life and is well aware of the value of investment. There were eighty people in the α Academy, and there were only twenty in the β Academy, and you could guess with your toes that the apprentices of the α Academy were not as good as the people of the β Academy in practicing witchcraft.

A low-level magic stone, 3 academic points, although expensive, but for official wizards, it is not a rare thing. It's far more effective to help Driss when he needs him most, than to wait until he becomes an official wizard and then try to slap him up.

Camaraderie?

That kind of thing is just too little for a wizard.

Five Tranquility Elixir is a little cheaper, and a little academic value is enough.

The remaining little academic power Serem kept for himself, and exchanged it for a Brain Activity Booster Potion. It is said to strengthen memory within two hours, and if you drink it for the first time, you can even remember it.

As for saving points.

Born into a merchant family, he had never considered such a stupid choice. Points are like money, and only when they are used can they be used to maximize their value. And in the hand, it's just a number.

Looking at his friend stunned, Driss finally shook his head.

“…… I can't take something so valuable. ”

A low-rank magic stone.

It's something that money can't buy.

Even if Serem was his best friend, he couldn't take anything so valuable.

Serem rolled his eyes.

"It's late, you don't want it now, where can I return it? It's useless to keep this thing with me, you just have to use it. ”

Driss silently accepted the contents of the package, and secretly made a promise in his heart that when he became an official wizard in the future, he would definitely repay this friend of his.

At this moment, Serem suddenly noticed that there were two books next to Driss, which looked familiar.

"This is the α Academy book?"

"Yes. The tutor summoned us this morning and handed us these things, saying that from today onwards, we must spare at least an hour a day to study math...... I really don't understand, what's there to learn about arithmetic. Driss shook his head and muttered.

"Elementary Algebra (I)" and "Elementary Geometry (I)", both of which Serem has read, the former mainly talks about some new arithmetic techniques that he has never heard of before, while the latter only teaches them to recognize some basic planes and three-dimensional figures.

They had just finished their exams for these two books.

After thinking about it in his heart, Serem continued.

"We've finished these two books, if there's anything you don't understand, maybe I can help you."

"I ...... I really don't know how to thank you. Driss said movingly.

Serem smiled shyly and did not speak.

That's what he's waiting for.

And just as the two began to discuss math problems, Josephine in the girls' dormitory had just finished meditating. She had been meditating for a day and a night, with deep bags under her eyes. As apprentices, they are not yet able to sense the presence of magical elements, so they cannot use meditation as a substitute for sleeping, not only will they not restore their energy, but they will consume it.

Having just returned from outside, Josephine's roommate said timidly.

"Josephine, get some sleep."

Josephine shook her head, then said, "It's okay, thank you for bringing me dinner." ”

"No, nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do." The girl said quickly.

As a α academy, she is sincerely envious of the β academy where she can learn meditation.

Josephine glanced at the girl, and in her, it was as if she saw a shadow of herself.

However, she didn't want to be like Daria.

"I'm going to trouble you to give these things to the servant for me." After a hurried dinner, Josephine smiled softly.

That smile made the shy girl's face red.

Getting up and back in bed, Josephine began her meditation practice with her roommate's admiring eyes. Looking at Josephine like this, the girl couldn't help but feel secretly ashamed in her heart, thinking of her C transcript, she felt that she should also study hard, otherwise she would be really sorry for her hard-working roommate.

……

The next day, in a classroom in the main building of the research institute, Leia, dressed in a light gray robe, was standing on the podium to teach students about herbal medicine. The slender whip and the robe with a bit of academic flavor made her look more intellectually beautiful, as if she were a real teacher.

Quite a few little boys blushed.

Compared to Emily, who looked smaller than them, Leia was noticeably more attractive.

Moreover, this is not the port of Sevit, and there is no border dispute between humans and half-elves, so naturally there is no prejudice.

“…… Turning to page 32 of the book, today we are going to learn about the use of mandala grass and wolf whisker grass, as well as the configuration of revival potions. I hope to see you make the right Awakening Elixir before class ends. Leia said with a blank face.

Herbology is a compulsory subject at the β College, and there will be a test at the end of the year. For α College, herbal medicine courses are just electives, and you only need to apply to attend the lectures, but you will not have the opportunity to take the test.

But even so, the students of both the α and β institutes are listening carefully, writing down every knowledge point, eager to stuff all the obscure knowledge into their minds.

After class, Leia left the classroom with her books in her arms and saw Jiang Feng waiting here in the corridor.

Seeing Jiang Feng, Leia's expression softened.

"What's the matter?" Brushing the long hair from her ears, she asked.

"I'm going to start a plantation near the Wizard's Tower, and I hope you can help me grow a few plants that I need to refine potions." Jiang Feng smiled and explained his intentions.

"No problem, tell me what?" Leia nodded slightly.

"Well, I've commissioned the mercenaries of Boulder City to search for a few of these seeds in the wasteland, here's the list." As he spoke, Jiang Feng handed a piece of paper to Leia.

After taking the list from Jiang Feng's hand, Leia carefully read it from beginning to end.

"Mandala grass, death mushroom, silver moon grass...... It's all dark materials, what exactly are you going to put together? Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, Leia looked at Jiang Feng and asked, "Don't tell me that there are still living souls and hearts in the formula." ”

"How could there be those things, but I assure you, I won't do anything hurt," Jiang Feng laughed and continued in a relaxed tone, "I'm just going to configure some potions for boosting mental power for research." ”

Biting her lower lip for a long time, Leia shook her head and whispered.

"It's not a great option...... There are many ways to increase your strength, and why you choose to take this side path. ”

She had noticed it when she was in Valland, and it was clearly the smell of the Potion of Suffering.

"Power itself does not distinguish between good and evil, whether it is a dark element or a light element, it is just a tool, and how to use a tool depends on the person who controls it," looking at Leia's eyes, Jiang Feng said softly, "Believe me, I can control this power." ”

“……”

Wordlessly, looking away, not sure to believe or not, Leia finally sighed and put the list away.

"I'll help you develop what's on your list."

"But if you are dominated by the power of chaos, I will end your pain with my own hands."

"Even if ...... You're my sister's fiancé. ”

Throwing the words down, Leia turned and walked away.
