At night, Rob and Lolo ate in the independent cafeteria of the magic faculty.
The environment here was elegant, and the dishes were all available. The chef in charge was a true master chef, and the taste was even better than many restaurants outside. What was even rarer was that the prices were reasonable, and there weren't many people eating. Compared to the long queues of the public cafeteria, there were almost no queues here. After ordering, there would be someone serving them. The service could be said to be attentive.
Of course, unless you were a magic faculty student or were invited by a magic faculty student, you wouldn't be able to eat here.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that the other faculties are jealous of you magic faculty for a reason." Archmage's previous Royal College of Magic and Magic wasn't a comprehensive institution. The school was exclusively made up of magicians, so they naturally didn't feel any discrimination towards other faculties. Now that he was in Siamus, the magic faculty was the trump card of the academy. They monopolized the management of the entire student council and had absolute say in the allocation of various resources. As a result, the magic faculty was now the dominant faculty.
The girl didn't respond to him. She was happily fiddling with the new staff that she had just received in her hands.
"Meteor Model II Oak Staff. The body of the staff is made from oak wood that is over a hundred years old. The tip is embedded with a basic magic crystal with a diameter of about 2.3 inches to provide mana. There are a total of eight magic arrays engraved on it. Apart from the three basic magic arrays for mana input, mana output, and mana stabilization, there are also five advanced magic arrays for elemental affinity enhancement, perception enhancement, mental strength enhancement, casting speed enhancement, and target calibration enhancement. It can cast up to rank 4 spells, and is one of the most suitable staffs for beginners. However, the price isn't cheap." The future Supreme Magister Your Honor forked a piece of fried golden pork chop. "Where did you get so much money? Although this staff is relatively basic, it's still a high-end product among the new magic staffs. Right now, one would cost at least 120 gold coins on the market. "
"Hehe, it's given out for free by the student council." The girl was already used to Roland's knowledge in magic. "I met Teacher Harvey this morning. He saw that I didn't have a staff, so he told me that I can apply for one from the student council as long as I return it before graduation."
"Oh." Rob nodded and didn't say anything. Magic staffs were very expensive. Even the cheapest one cost around 50 gold coins. In order to take care of students who came from poor families, every Academy of Magic would prepare some free magic staffs and distribute them to freshmen who couldn't afford one. Rob had received such a magic staff when he first entered the academy. However, under normal circumstances, they were the cheapest ones. They were old models and cost no more than 60 gold coins. It was almost impossible for a second-hand magic staff with four to five magic arrays to receive a brand new one like Lolo did.
"In addition to receiving the staff, we also chose the curriculum for this school year in the afternoon. We received textbooks and some materials. The seniors told us that if we were worried that we wouldn't be able to keep up with the teacher's pace, we could spend some time to prepare ourselves." The girl stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed. "There are still a few days before the official start of school. I was going to visit Gudilesi University Town with you, but I may not be able to go now."
"Well, it doesn't matter. Studies are more important. I have something to deal with here. Maybe next time." Archmage shrugged to show that he understood. After a pause, he asked, "By the way, which courses have you chosen?"
"Magic Power Analysis, Introduction to Spellcasting, Elemental Structure, Common Spells, and Experimental Specifications. These five are compulsory." Lolo counted with her fingers. "In addition, I've chosen Mr. Harvey's History of Magic, Detailed Explanation of Defensive Magic, Potion Making, and Magic Array Construction."
The future supreme magus sucked in a breath of cold air. Indeed, the ignorant were fearless. Not to mention Luoluo, who was only an E-grade aptitude, even a B-grade aptitude quasi-genius wouldn't dare to do this. Generally speaking, the first year of any magic academy was the most arduous. Most students would be lucky if they could finish all their major courses. As for electives, they would only consider them in the second year. C-grade and B-grade aptitude might be slightly better, and they would have the spare energy to choose one or two courses that interested them. However, only A-grade aptitude geniuses would dare to choose three or four courses.
Rob only chose three elective courses when he first entered the academy. Of course, Your Honor, the future supreme magus, had a special reason. Rob had been having a headache about the tuition he owed. In order to make time to work more jobs, he naturally could not choose so many courses.
Archmage frowned. "Who told you to choose this?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" The girl was stunned.
This was a huge problem. The Siamese Academy had a rule that, including elective courses, students who failed more than one-third of their courses in the first year would have to repeat a year. If more than half failed, they would be expelled. Lolo had just entered the Academy of Magic, so it was normal that she did not understand the tension of the first year. However, it was impossible for the person in charge of the elective course applications not to know this. Even if the girl had a D-grade aptitude when she first entered the academy, she would not have been allowed to apply for four elective courses in one go. This was simply forcing her to drop out next year.
"I originally only applied for History of Magic, but the senior in charge of statistics encouraged me to apply for a few more. She said that after seeing my performance in the test, I have the ability to learn more than the others," The Brave Rookie said apprehensively.
Lolo's performance in the test was different from ordinary people, especially in the last two tests. Her performance was even more shocking. After that, many people believed that the results of her elemental affinity test were inaccurate and that her aptitude was actually far beyond D-grade. It seemed that the senior's words were out of good intentions, but if one thought about it carefully, one would realize that it did not make sense.
Choosing more courses was risky. Generally speaking, when two people who had never met before asked for your opinion on something, you would definitely recommend a less risky plan. You did not seek merit, but you hoped to avoid making mistakes. Hmm, plus that staff from before. Strange. Why would the Student Council be so interested in a freshman? Moreover, their attitudes on these two matters were completely opposite?
However, the Great Magician didn't tell Luo Luo these words. Since the course selection had already happened, the most important thing now was to find a way for Luo Luo to smoothly complete all the first year's courses. Of course, Luo Luo could help Luo Luo continue to cheat during the exam, but there was no point in doing so. Luo Luo's ultimate goal was to become a Magician. Cheating during the exam was to let her enter the school smoothly. If she continued to cheat after entering the school, it would mean that she had learned nothing in this year.
Rob thought for a while and said, "Nothing. What she said makes sense. There is no harm in learning more in the first year. Did she say anything else after that?" The girl heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
The girl heaved a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said, "That scared me to death. I thought there was a problem. I actually thought so too. Also, she invited me to join the Student Council, saying that not only would I be able to enjoy a lot of benefits, but I could also earn some money. Did you know that there are actually many students in our school who come from noble or merchant families? They are used to spending money extravagantly, and they often issue some idiotic commissions through the Student Council. This afternoon, I saw a cleaning commission. I don't know which idiot posted it, but it clearly only costs 40 copper coins to clean a room, but he directly put a silver coin as a reward. When I was about to accept it, someone with sharp eyes and quick hands snatched it away."
