This is the Academy of Magic?

Several mages looked forward expectantly.

Ahead, I saw that the white wall was painted with simple patterns, stretching straight to both sides. The gate is located in a gap in the wall, and through the gap between the iron fences, you can see the undulating buildings within the wall. There are low-rise bungalows, three-storey buildings, and large squares...... The neatly planted saplings line the college path, and you can expect them to be lush when they grow up.

The mages withdrew their gazes and looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but show a little surprise.

On the whole, the college is not gorgeous, at best it is simple and generous. However, buildings of this style and scale were something they had never seen before. The three-storey building is a bit like a villa, but the structure is completely different from the villa, and the windows on each floor are lined up, corresponding to each layer, and it is obvious that there are many rooms built inside.

It's just that...... They don't know what these rooms are for.

"Guys, that's our school building, which has hundreds of classrooms and can accommodate thousands of students. We'll do most of the teaching in that building. Benjamin also pointed to the building.

Several mages came back to their senses and nodded in confusion, not knowing whether they understood or not.

Seeing this, Benjamin smiled, pushed open the two iron doors of the academy, and led a few people inside.

"On the left-hand side is the school building area. We don't force students to live here, but after all, many people come from far away, so a school building that can accommodate 4,000 people is also a must. In the future, if the enrollment is expanded, we can build more, and we have left empty space in the college. ”

"On the right hand side is the Magic Square. It's still dangerous to practice magic, and we have to build it as big as we can. There is also a ring on the edge of the square, which is surrounded by special materials. Students are encouraged to engage in real-world competition...... Of course, malicious harm is definitely prohibited. ”

"There is also an experimental field behind the teaching building, which contains the growth environment of most of the mainstream magic plants. We encourage the holistic development of our students, whether it's alchemy, farming, or crafting magic items, we don't just intend to train battle mages. ”

"Over there is our special potions department, and all kinds of professional alchemy tools are fully equipped......

Several mages almost followed Benjamin and walked the entire academy around. And the more they listened to Benjamin's explanation, the wider their eyes widened, and the harder their jaws had to be retracted.

They...... I don't know what to say anymore.

Lost.

All the schools, colleges they have ever seen have lost.

Like the most famous knights' schools, it is nothing more than a barren meadow, a stable, and an arsenal. And there is more extravagance in the aristocratic academy, but at most it is a red carpet with nearly a thousand gold coins on the ground, and the windows are painted with flashy things such as master-level paintings.

And ...... like the Academy of Magic No, not really.

If you want to say extravagance, in fact, it is really not extravagant. As far as the eye can see, there is no place with much decoration, and it can be seen that every piece of brick and tile is considered from a practical point of view, which can be said to be quite economical.

But to say simple, this one or two buildings are not simple at all.

"These places ...... What a fine division!" the older mage couldn't help but sigh.

"The division of labor determines efficiency. Benjamin smiled and said, "It's too unprofessional to mix things up, and it's easy for students to get lost." ”

"Division of labor determines efficiency ......"

When Master Finch heard this, he looked thoughtful.

He seems to have been inspired a bit.

"Master Benjamin, are you really not looking for people over the age of twenty?" the young mage suddenly asked again, "To be able to come out of such a powerful academy, my friends would have to die of envy. ”

Actually, he didn't understand what many places in the academy were doing, but ...... After listening to such an explanation, he had a very powerful and advanced feeling, and a sense of yearning began to arise in his heart.

- He had forgotten the beginning, and he was still skeptical about the construction of the Academy of Magic!

"Your Excellency is already a powerful mage, so why don't you need to come to our academy. Benjamin shook his head with a smile and said, "The rules are also predetermined, and you can't make exceptions to others as soon as they come up." ”

"Can't you really be accommodating? I'm only four years older. The young mage was still very persistent, "The cost of maintaining such a large academy must be amazing. In this way, as long as I enroll in school, I can give several times the tuition fee, and I can also help you pull a lot of people over. ”

Benjamin still shook his head.

"Alas...... Why do you want to cling to so-called potential? people with potential often don't have money, so if you take these people as students, can they afford to pay the tuition?" said the young mage, puzzled.

"Most of them can't actually afford to pay their fees," Benjamin said. ”

The young mage was even more confused: "Then how do you make money?"

"We came up with a solution called the Token of Work. Benjamin explains, "For most people, our college tuition is actually very expensive. Therefore, for those children from poor families to go to school, we can not charge him money, but let him use his labor to slowly exchange the money for school fees. ”

Hearing this, the rest of the mages didn't react in any particular way, but Mage Vinci's eyes lit up.

That's the equivalent of ...... You've bought out their future?"

"Exactly. Benjamin nodded and said, "We recruit seedlings with great potential, and under such a clear division of labor, the speed of success will be very fast." It's like an investment, and when they become a very profitable mage, I can earn it back with interest. ”

When Master Finch heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaimed, "Awesome. ”

There is also this approach......

I've been in business for so many years, why didn't I think of it?

Benjamin's words inspired him to a great extent, and he couldn't help but think of the potion mages under his command. Once upon a time, he only recruited mature apothecary mages and paid them gold coins to work. And as the competition in the industry becomes more and more fierce, the salaries of those mages are getting higher and higher.

Now that he thinks about it, he can train some potion mages by himself!

Not bad......

This trip to visit in advance was indeed not wrong.

"But if you do this, you have to wait for those apprentices to be slowly cultivated, and it will be difficult to gain anything in the early stage, right?" the older mage asked, considering some other questions.

Benjamin nodded as well.

"yes, so we've opened up more ways to make money. The recommended textbooks for self-study outside are not cheap, but there are many people who buy them. When school starts, we will also start to audit classes, and as long as we pay a fee, anyone can come in and audit, which can be regarded as a more contribution to the spread of magic. ”

When the young mage heard this, he was not so depressed: "Then can I come to listen in the future?"

"Of course, I'm just afraid that our content is too superficial to satisfy you long-established mages. ”

The young mage immediately shook his head and said, "No, the content is not important, what matters is the novelty of your ideas here. I'm curious to know what it's like for you to start a class here. ”

"I'd love to know, too. Benjamin smiled, "Time is in a hurry. In order to meet the requirements of teaching quality, our teachers are still training. Truth be told, in half an hour, I'll be going to be a trainer for them. ”

When several people heard this, they looked quite interested.

"Can we go and sit in?"

Benjamin shook his head.

"That's right...... It's okay, we're already grateful to you for being able to accompany us around the academy and tell us so much about it. If you're still busy, we won't bother. ”

Eventually, after walking around the academy for a while, Benjamin said goodbye to them, turned to leave, and hurried to the teaching building.

Several mages looked at his back as he left, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"What the hell is his brain made of, how can he have so many new ideas, I really want to knock it open and see......" the young mage couldn't help but say.

"Come on, it's said that he can pick out the bishop at will, but what about you? you can't even touch a single hair. ”

The young mage scratched his head: "Just kidding, who dares to really touch him?"

"Yes, you have such a strong strength at such a young age. In a few years, his strength may be on par with the Pope. The older mage also sighed.

I always feel ...... The wizarding world will soon be turned upside down.

Walking aside, Mage Finch shook his head helplessly as he listened to the discussion of his fellow mages.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back. He said slowly, "Different people have different paths, and we don't need to envy others." At least this trip, our harvest is not small, let's go back and digest it well. ”

Hearing this, several people nodded.

"yes...... It's time for us to go back. ”

In this way, they passed through the academy's forest **, and left this place from the gate with excitement and loss in their hearts.
