20. Russell is shy in his bag
"Professor Black Amber, these are the strange sounds I heard during the sorting ceremony."
Teaching Building, inside Professor Black Amber's private office.
Russell informed Black Amber of the anomalies at the sorting ceremony.
The guy who didn't know where it came from, told himself that there was a treasure hidden in the school, and encouraged himself to get it.
When you encounter such a suspicious thing, of course you have to tell the teacher!
"You're doing well, Russell." At his desk, Professor Black Amber praised Russell.
"Child, you make me very happy that you were not bewitched, you were not carried away by greed, but chose to tell the school about it.
"I don't know how many great heroes have ended up going astray because they succumbed to greed and lust. But what you've done today tells me that these things won't happen to you! Russell. ”
Black Amber smiled on her face.
"Well, Professor, as happy as you praise you, I'll reiterate: I'm certainly not going to trust a mysterious voice of unknown origin. In particular, the voice didn't even make it clear where the treasure and the secret room were, and I couldn't go anywhere to find it myself, even if I wanted to.
"I think the communicator needs a map, with markers, to indicate places, rather than just verbally and acting as a riddler."
Russell analyzed carefully.
"Ahem, okay, kid, you're being honest." Black Amber coughed twice.
"So what the hell is that mysterious voice? Why should I go to find any treasure or chance? Russell asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, there's no treasure at all. Someone is trying to trick you into going...... Uh, opening something that shouldn't be opened, touching something that shouldn't be touched. ”
Something that shouldn't be opened? Seals or something?
Russell's brow furrowed slightly, pondering Professor Black Amber's words.
He remembered that Mr. Dragon had also mentioned that he was responsible for guarding a seal.
The two are a seal?
Or is there a lot of unclean stuff sealed in the academy?
Your academy is fine, right?
Why is it that in all kinds of stories, there are always people who have nothing to do and seal strange things in the academy? Isn't it good to change places?
Half a minute later.
Russell was still in the office, motionless.
"Uh, kid, you...... Still standing here? ”
Black Amber struggled to remember what she had forgotten to tell Russell.
"Oh yes, I didn't expect you to be assigned to the Necromancy and Life Department. But it doesn't matter, this may be a choice of fate, not necessarily a bad thing. Black Amber said.
The corners of Russell's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help but speak:
"Professor Black Amber, I will tell you what mysterious voices I heard, if there is anything ...... Reward? ”
He wanted to say that he had just prevented a great catastrophe, but he felt that such a statement was still too far-fetched.
Black Amber hesitated for a second, the cat's paw opened, and an academy gold coin appeared on the meat pad at some point:
"Uh, child, this is a reward for your noble deeds. I will pay in advance and then I will find a suitable reason to apply for reimbursement from the school. ”
"Thank you, Professor!" Russell bowed his back lightly and said sincerely.
……
Treasury Division.
Russell paid the tuition and textbook fees for the first year, a total of 5 college gold coins.
As for the cost of lodging, Professor Black Amber found a reason to waive it for him. This is the greatest help that can be done in terms of fee waivers without directly revealing Russell's identity as a prophesied child.
"After that, the tuition and textbook fees for the second year actually cost 30 college gold coins!" Russell grimaced.
"That's right, the tuition and textbook fees for the first year are discounted prices supported by the Global Occult Foundation. The latter is the normal price. Subway, who had come with Russell to pay for tuition, sat on the couch behind him and explained.
Now Russell still has 11 academy gold coins left on him, and there must be other expenses after enrolling.
When he thought of this, he felt shy!
Originally, after earning 16 gold coins, he still felt that he was quite rich. Now it seems that for him, a student with no background, no support from a transcendent family and a secret organization, this amount of money is simply not enough.
But Russell wasn't out of the question.
"Miss, can I exchange real money for Academy Coins?" Russell asked with a smile and asked the financial staff in the window.
"Of course." The sister at the window smiled.
Half a minute later.
"What? Is it so expensive to change a college copper coin? ”
For the first time since he stepped into the school, Russell looked so stunned.
He rubbed his eyes, making sure he was looking at copper coins and not gold coins.
(P.S. originally wanted to set 1 college copper coin worth thousands of soft girl coins, but in order to avoid readers converting into real money every time the college coin is traded, which affects the painting style of this funny story, I deliberately avoided the exchange ratio of college coins and real money.) )
(Otherwise, when the time comes, the teacher punishes the students, and they all punish a house in a first-tier city, or a Ferrari 458, which will make the reader feel that something is wrong.) )
