75 Fighting for Dignity (Part I)
"One hundred silver coins! Or ten gold coins! "Behind the desk is an iron-faced and selfless teacher, and the cold voice seems to make people feel like it's winter.
"Huh? Tuition is so expensive! Zhang Yuan looked at him dumbfounded, and he took out all his possessions from his armsβfour silver coins and eleven copper plates. At the beginning, Wang Daqiang gave Zhang Yuan fifteen silver coins, and Zhang Yuan spent eighty-nine copper coins on the road, and now only this money is left.
"Teacher, I don't have that much money, can I 616161616161 credit? I'll make it up later. Zhang Yuan grinned, although Zhang Yuan had also thought that the tuition fee here would be very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageously expensive, one hundred silver coins or ten gold coins is enough for an ordinary person in this world for a few years, but here it is only a semester of tuition.
"What are you doing at the Curiti Demon Martial Arts Academy if you don't have any money? These are just tuition and accommodation fees, and some magic materials and venue fees for studying will be calculated separately, so since you don't have the money, let's go. The teacher waved impatiently at Zhang Yuan, like a fly.
"I thought that all kinds of all-round people were amazing, but I didn't expect that he was a hillbilly who couldn't even pay his tuition." The flow of people who were still queuing just now automatically separated, and a figure in pink armor came into view.
This person Zhang Yuan knew, it was the girl he had seen on the inspection table in the hall before. At this time, she was walking in the direction of Zhang Yuan step by step, and the apprentices who were registering gave way one after another, obviously knowing her.
"What did you say?" Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice. The girl snorted and said, "I don't even have tuition fees to come to the Curiti Demon Martial Arts Academy, and I chose the Demon Martial Arts Department, aren't you an idiot?" A poor boy actually came to study at the Curiti Demon Martial Arts Academy? I think you'd better get out of here quickly, the Curiti Demon Martial Arts Academy doesn't welcome poor ghosts. β
"You ......" Zhang Yuan glared angrily, took a step forward with his left foot, and shouted: "You should be glad that you are a woman, because I don't beat women." β
"Haha......" the girl laughed, "joke, you want to hit me?" Just because you're a new school guy? If you don't have the money to pay for tuition, get out of here, and don't let me look at you. There was a contemptuous tone in the words.
"Who said he didn't have the money to pay for tuition, I paid for his tuition." A cold and shuddering voice sounded from outside the crowd, and another passage opened in the crowd, and the slender figure gradually became clear, with a long white dress, and it turned out to be the girl who was sitting with Zhang Yuan in the lobby before.
Slowly walked to Zhang Yuan's side, threw ten gold coins on the table, and said to the teacher in charge of registration: "This is his tuition." β
"Nina, it's you, you're going to fight against me for the sake of a poor ghost?" The girl in pink armor said angrily.
"Helifen, I'm not going to go against you, it's just that I can't watch you bully the freshmen of our Demon Martial Arts Department." Nina's voice still sounded so cold, but Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed in his heart, even if he had no money, he was still looked down upon by women, and the people who were rescued were also women.
Hai Lifen pointed at Zhang Yuan and said, "Don't think that if you can enter the academy this time, everything will be fine." If you're a man, we'll see you in the ring in three months' time. Otherwise, when you see me in the future, you will quickly take a detour and get out of the way. β
Speaking of this, she paused, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and she pretended to be abrupt and said, "Oh, I forgot, you are from the Demon Martial Arts Department, and the Demon Martial Arts Department never seems to participate in the freshman martial arts competition, who made your magic not high, and you have no attack power?" β
"I'll participate." Almost rushing out, Zhang Yuan directly agreed to Hailifen's challenge. He didn't believe it, he couldn't learn magic and vindictiveness in three months! Nina frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive......"
"I'll participate." Zhang Yuan repeated his words again, and said with a firm and persistent gaze: "Although I don't know what the freshman martial arts competition is, after three months, I accept your challenge. β
Helifin snorted and said, "Okay! Then I'll see if you can break through the barrier of magic and vindictiveness at the same time and meet me in the ring. Even if you can break through, you probably won't even be able to get past the first game and will have to lie in bed, or you won't even be eligible to compete. Hahahaha! After saying that, she laughed and glanced at Nina beside Zhang Yuan, and turned away.
Looking at Helifen's back, Zhang Yuan's eyes showed a thoughtful light, this jealous girl must have deliberately targeted herself with jealousy after seeing her talent.
"Are you really going to compete in the freshman tournament in three months? We Demon Warriors are generally the weakest to participate, so we never participate in tournaments. Nina said with some uneasiness.
Zhang Yuan nodded to Nina and said with a smile: "Yes, I want to participate." Thank you so much, I'll pay you back your money soon. β
Nina looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise, there seemed to be something more in her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "That money is nothing." Now that you have the courage to participate in the competition! Then count me in. β
Since Zhang Yuan is very poor now, the teachers of the academy assigned him the most humble room. When Zhang Yuan came to a certain room in the row of bungalows he was assigned to, he used the key to open the door.
As soon as he stepped into his future dormitory, he saw a thin figure in the dormitory busy. As a dormitory for the poor, it is really small and pitiful, and after placing two beds and a table and two cupboards in the whole room, there is hardly any empty space.
At this time, there was a thin figure who was busy cleaning at this time, his movements were very quick, and his gray clothes and pants looked very plain, but they were very clean. The height of the other party was only about the height of Zhang Yuan's chest, and most of the room had been cleaned by him.
"Hello." Zhang Yuan said hello to the thin figure.
Hearing someone coming in, the person had already turned around, and a somewhat pale face appeared in front of Zhang Yuan. Long yellow hair rests on his shoulders, and he has big eyes full of aura. But his thin stature and not-so-healthy face looked like malnutrition at all times. When he first saw Zhang Yuan, the whole person stayed there completely, and he didn't even notice that the rag in his hand had fallen off.
Zhang Yuan thought that he had frightened the other party, and hurriedly said: "I also live in this dormitory, do you also live here?" β
"Huh?" At this time, the thin young man reacted and hurriedly said, "Yes! It's a small place, so come in. β
Zhang Yuan walked to the bedroom inside, he didn't have any luggage, put the school uniform he had just issued on an empty bed and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Yuan." As he spoke, he held out his hand to the thin boy.
"Hello, just call me Morin." Mo Lin held Zhang Yuan's hand and said with a humble smile.
Merlin smiled and asked, "What are you from?" Zhang Yuan said: "I am from the Demon Martial Arts Department. "Demon Martial Arts? Are you a demon warrior? Mo Lin looked at Zhang Yuan dumbfounded.
Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Why are you all so surprised when you hear that I am from the Demon Martial Arts Department? β
Mo Lin said with a smile: "I'm afraid anyone will be surprised to see a profession like a demon warrior, this is a difficult profession to choose after all." β
Zhang Yuan smiled, "You are quite kind, they all say that the demon warrior is a chicken rib!" Fighters don't learn much, and they can't do magic. Oh, you're so diligent, the dorms are all cleaned, is there anything else you need me to help with? β
Mo Lin shook his hand again and again, and said, "No, I'll do it myself, you see that this place is so small." However, it was very dirty when I came. Besides, my profession dictates that I need to be absolutely familiar with the environment in which I live. β
"Profession determines familiarity with the environment? What kind of profession is that? Zhang Yuan was stunned.
Morin smiled, "I'm from the Assassin Department, and it's a side department. You see, isn't it the best fit for me to be an assassin with my stature? β
