Just like that, the matter of participating in the new student competition was decided. Luo Luo decided to sign up as a team, with a tentative team of three people. Aside from herself as the team leader, the other members were Luo Bu and Gage.
"Eh, me?" Gage was a little surprised when he heard that. He then smiled bitterly. "I don't think I need to. I've always been a burden in competitions. Plus, this activity sounds very tiring. I'd rather sit outside and cheer for you guys."
The Archmage thought for a moment, then said, "Gage, as friends, we can only give you advice, and we won't force you to do anything. So the decision on this matter is still up to you. However, as a friend, there are some things that I have to say. I think your biggest problem right now isn't your weight, but your confidence. No matter what you do, you seem to lack confidence in yourself. Your father is probably disappointed in you because of this. Otherwise, with your family's wealth, he wouldn't care how much you eat every meal. Actually, many things aren't as difficult as you think. It's just like the physical training on the first day of school. You see, you just have to grit your teeth and persevere. "
Gage's expression changed several times. Finally, he nodded with some difficulty. "Alright, I'll listen to you. If you guys don't mind me for not being able to fight, bring me along. I won't cause any trouble for you guys."
Although Genji's words didn't sound very confident, it was still the first step in his life.
Lolo was very satisfied. She patted the latter's shoulder and encouraged him. "Don't be afraid. There are still two months left. I can design a special training plan for you. Train according to my plan. Even if you can't be reborn after two months, you'll definitely be able to impress others."
The Fatso swordsman showed gratitude when he heard that, but he didn't notice the pity in Archmage's eyes.
As a proponent of the critical training method, Lolo's special training was not something ordinary people could endure. Your Honor, the future supreme magus, had personally experienced it, so he naturally had the most right to comment on it. He mourned for Gage in his heart. These two months were destined to be a nightmare for him for the rest of his life.
Actually, it wasn't just Lolo. Rob was also thinking about the problem of earning money. Although the magical A series of notes helped Lolo build a good theoretical foundation, compared to the others, the girl was still lagging behind in terms of talent. In the entrance test, she only got a pitiful 35 points for her elemental affinity. Even her meditation every night was difficult. Although she gritted her teeth and persevered, the results weren't ideal.
If this went on, she would only have a good theoretical foundation, but her magic power wouldn't be able to keep up. The road to advancement was long. Your Honor, the future supreme magus, knew a few magic arrays that could improve the effect of meditation, but the materials needed were more precious. The money he had might be a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was far from enough for a magician.
Magicians were the group of people who could earn the most money and spend the most in this world.
Rob also heard about the generous rewards for the top three newcomers in the competition, but unlike Lolo, he wasn't that interested in this kind of activity. He could easily get the first place if he wanted to, but it would bring a series of troubles, especially not long after the incident that happened that night. It wasn't a wise choice to be in the limelight at this time, but it wouldn't be a problem to help Lolo get into the top ten.
Archmage didn't have anything to do on Sunday, so he decided to take a walk outside the campus to relax, enjoy the scenery of Gudilesi, and look for opportunities to earn money.
Originally, Rob had an appointment with Lolo, but the girl attached great importance to the competition that would start in two months, so she dragged Ge Qi to train with her. So in the end, Rob could only go and play by himself.
In the morning, Rob first went to the Great Marian Lighthouse. As the most famous scenic spot in Gudilesi, it received a large number of tourists every day. Archmage was squeezed to the top of the lighthouse by the crowd, and then he was taken down the lighthouse. As a result, he paid five copper coins for the entrance ticket, and all he saw was a pile of heads.
After that, he went to Elfa Park and bought a bag of bread crumbs to feed the pigeons. Not far away, he saw a father teaching two kids how to fly a kite on the grass. The teenager remembered that when he was a child, his family of three went to the nearby woods for a picnic.
His mother made a blackcurrant cake and put it in a basket, and his father made a wooden sword out of a small tree branch on the roadside. He pretended to be a bear and played with him. At that time, the whole family had smiles on their faces … Now that he thought about it, it was a long time ago.
After walking around Elfa Park, Rob found a small restaurant recommended by Ge Qi, and tasted the signature dish there — seafood baked rice. He even ordered a glass of juice for himself, enjoying the rare leisure time. Besides, he still had a ticket for the opera in his pocket. There was still about an hour before the performance began, so he could take a walk there after eating.
Well, Rob admitted that he was purely playing all day, and seemed to have forgotten about making money. However, he ran away from the Royal College of Magic and Magic to enjoy life, so he would leave the making of money to tomorrow.
When Archmage finished his juice and was about to pay the bill, he unexpectedly saw a familiar face — Gagarin, a level-four magician. About six years ago, Rob had seen this old man in a small academic salon of the Magic Association.
That day, many people gave speeches in that small salon, but in the end, Rob only remembered this name.
In a sense, this guy was also a genius, but the field he was good at was a bit more unconventional — magic device repair. In this field, Gagarin was worthy of being a master. Unfortunately, his research in this field had never been valued. That day, his speech was not long, and there were only a few people in the audience, but Rob got a lot of inspiration from it.
At that time, the young man was researching a more complicated topic. In order to broaden his thinking, he occasionally participated in similar activities with the permission of Steins. However, most of them were anonymous, and he only listened on the side without saying anything. Gagarin probably didn't have much of an impression of him.
Later, when Rob heard that he went to the South, he felt it was a pity to see him again here. The guy opposite Gagarin seemed to be a magician too. He didn't look old, and from the way Gagarin treated him, he should be a noble, but he didn't wear any family emblem on his chest.
The two obviously had something to talk about here, and the Archmage had no intention of meddling. He pushed the door and was about to leave, but at that moment, the young noble magician took out a small box from his arms.
He handed the small box to Gagarin, who opened the box. Inside was a badly damaged compass.
"Huh?" Rob stopped in his tracks. This thing looked a bit familiar.
"How is it, Master Gagarin? Do you think this magic device can be repaired?" There was some anticipation in the tone of the noble magician. He had also been wandering around for a long time before he heard that there was a guy in the South who was very good at repairing magic devices.
Gagarin didn't speak. He took out his glasses, put them on, and looked at the compass. "An antique. This magic device has at least a history of more than four hundred years, but at that time, the level of making magic devices was generally limited. To successfully make a magic device, in addition to experience, a little luck was needed. But on the other hand, there were no rules or constraints in that era, and some very interesting things could often be made."
