Archmage comforted the rookie, The Brave. "He must have his own plans for not coming to see you. You don't have to be too depressed. Since we're all in Gudilesi University City now, we'll meet again in the future."
The girl thought of a possibility and said with some apprehension, "Could it be that the mysterious teacher refuses to show up because my performance today was too poor and I didn't meet his requirements?"
"Uh, probably … that's also possible," Archmage said vaguely.
Lolo suddenly understood. "I know. The mysterious teacher must be using this method to encourage me to work hard. When my performance satisfies him and I catch up to his footsteps, he'll show up again."
"It's good that you think so." Rob wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. In order to prevent the topic from getting more and more askew, he quickly changed the topic. "Let's have some cake. To celebrate your passing the Siamese Academy entrance exam, and also to celebrate our future living expenses. By the way, I heard that the boss hid a few bottles of good wine. Should I ask him to bring one up?"
Unexpectedly, Lolo shook her head. "This money can't be spent recklessly."
"Huh?"
The girl asked the youth. "I'm about to enter the Siamese Academy. What are your plans next?"
"Me? I'll probably take a walk around the university city to see if there's a suitable job. " That being said, Rob actually had no plans in this regard. Archmage just wanted to use the excuse of looking for a job to properly tour Gudilesi, bask in the sun, enjoy the sea breeze, look at the buildings left behind from different eras, and taste the local delicacies. In short, he just wanted to enjoy life and make up for the part of happiness that he had been missing.
The people from the temple probably wouldn't show up again in the short term, and Rob had no desire to work for the time being. He had just given the girl ten gold coins through the boss, and he still had a dozen left. It was enough for him to eat, drink, and be merry for a long time.
As for what would happen after he ran out of money, Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, did not think that far ahead. With his ability, it would be easy for him to support himself in Gudilesi.
At the very least, Rob's job as the librarian of the Raphael Library was very easy for him. In terms of memory and reading speed, if Rob said that he was number two, no one would dare to say that they were number one. However, unless it was absolutely necessary, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor didn't want to go to the library again. He always felt that the old man called Donatio looked at him with a strange gaze, as if he knew something.
Lolo didn't say anything and just looked at the young scholar from head to toe. An ominous feeling rose in Rob's heart.
Sure enough, not long after, the girl seemed to have made up her mind about something. She asked a certain someone, "Do you want to go to Siames with me?"
"Hey, but I don't have the talent for magic." Rob turned pale with fright when he heard this.
"I know. Siames is a comprehensive academy. Apart from magic, there are a few other majors. Didn't we go to the swordsman training field yesterday? There are a few good teachers there. Although your talent in swordsmanship is average, your comprehension is not bad. It's a pity that I could only teach you the most basic things before. Now that you have the opportunity to learn systematically, it will be of great help to your future development."
The rookie The Brave patiently explained to the youth. In fact, she had thought of this a long time ago. The tuition fee for a swordsman was much cheaper than that of a mage, only three gold coins per year. However, it was still an unbearable sum for the two of them. Lolo originally planned to let the young scholar find a job first, while she studied and worked at the same time. The two of them would strive to save up the money within a year so that when Siames Academy recruited new students, the young scholar would be able to enter smoothly. Now that they had the money, there was naturally no need to wait until next winter.
"There's no need for that." Archmage was in tears. The three months at sea was not an ordinary hardship. Although the training had brought him many benefits, the physical exhaustion was real. The future supreme magus Your Honor had no interest in becoming a professional swordsman. It was fine if he trained occasionally, but he had finally escaped from the clutches of Demain and Steins. He did not want to rush into the fire pit again.
The future supreme magus Your Honor said solemnly, "I think we can discuss this again."
In the afternoon, Rob was a little puzzled as to why Lolo went to the swordsman training field next door after paying the tuition fee. However, because the girl was from the Bretton family and had the blood of a swordsman flowing in her body, it was reasonable for her to be interested in such things. Archmage did not think too much about it at that time.
Now, Rob's intestines were green with regret. If he had known earlier, he would not have given the money to Lolo in such a hurry. If he had waited for a few more days, the deadline for Siames Academy's recruitment would have passed, and naturally, this kind of moth would not appear again.
"What's there to discuss?" After interacting with him for a period of time, Lolo could be considered to have a good understanding of a certain person. One look at this guy and she knew what he was up to. The little scholar was probably the least enthusiastic person she had ever seen in training. Lolo was exasperated that he did not meet her expectations. As her guardian knight, this guy was actually so slack. Every time he heard that there was training, he would slip away faster than anyone else.
Archmage was still struggling on his deathbed. "Actually, I suddenly realized that the things you taught me before have a hidden meaning. Recently, I plan to go into seclusion for a period of time and study it in detail by myself."
"Cut it out." The rookie The Brave rolled his eyes. What I taught you before was only the most basic things. If you want to study it, you can slowly study it in the academy. Since you don't have a valid reason, then this matter is settled. Tomorrow, I will handle the admission procedures for you. "
"…"
The recruitment of the Swordsman Department was not as troublesome as that of the Mage Department. There was also no need for an entrance test. As long as one was willing to pay, one could enter. This destroyed a certain someone's dream of being expelled from the academy by slacking off during the entrance test.
Lolo helped the youth pay for the first year's school fees. After that, she forced the pain-faced Archmage to fill in his basic information at the reception desk for the new students. He received a low-quality saber, a small round shield, and a school badge. Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, gloriously became a first-year student of West Moss Academy's Swordsman Department.
The Swordsman Department was the department with the largest number of students in West Moss Academy. Every year, they recruited about three hundred new students. A few days ago, many people had already come to register. Today, Archmage and his group of forty or so people belonged to the third batch. A senior was bringing them on a tour of the campus.
"Do you see that newly built two-story building on your left? That's the academy's dormitory. Each building only houses four students. It's equipped with an independent courtyard and rooftop. There's even a swimming pool in the central area. Every day, there's a cute maid to clean the rooms. Hot water is provided 24 hours a day, and afternoon tea is provided. If there's a need, we can even provide cat ears to chat with you."
"Wow!" The new students were all excited at this moment. This kind of standard was really too exciting. Heavens, how was this a dormitory? Even heaven couldn't compare to this. Compared to the low school fees in West Moss, was this really not a problem? The people living here probably didn't want to graduate at all.
