Chapter 158: One Hundred Million Lost, Summoned by the Archmage

The Magic Council's training courses started in mid-July and ended temporarily on December 21st - the New Year's holiday.

Starting from the 22nd, students can happily eat, drink, have fun, and wander around the Magic Council headquarters. After the New Year, I will come back and continue the next half of the course.

Naturally, December 21st became the day when the training class issued transcripts.

"Amanda Tedder, C+."

"Ah..." A red-haired girl walked up to the podium dejectedly and took the transcript and paper from the teaching assistant.

She was playing a little crazy during this period. After five months, her mental power had not increased by more than 30% from level one to level two, and the highest score she could get on both papers was B-. Although it is sad to receive such a rating, it is not completely unexpected.

"Christian Price, B-."

A blond boy came up to the stage to receive documents. Scanning the cover of the paper, my brows immediately jumped: How is this possible! That article "The Impact of Different Parts of Bats as Spellcasting Materials on Echo Magic" got only a B- rating! He originally thought he could get an A!

Sorry, I’m not having a good time this New Year...

"Corian Franz, B+."

One by one, the names were announced from the teaching assistant's mouth, and the students stepped forward to receive their papers, and then left the podium in disgrace. The grading of this training class is quite strict. There are only three A-s, six or seven B+s in the whole class of seventy or eighty people, and the rest are B and below.

A group of boys and girls who were selected and sent here with the titles of "genius" and "elite" looked at each other, all of them had ugly expressions. Several students who got C- were frightened and beat their chests frequently:

Not bad, not bad, I almost got D. When D, I will have to interrupt my studies and be sent home.

The teaching assistant was unselfish and read the list one by one, finally reading the last one:

"Gretel Nordmark, uh..."

What, no?

Why not?

There was a slight commotion in the classroom. The teaching assistant took off his monocle, wiped it, put it back on, and looked at it again. At the end of the form in his hand, there is still no score next to Gretel's name, replaced by a line of small words:

"Essay score to be determined."

The teaching assistant read it aloud. Gretel went up to the stage to get his report card. Along the way, the boys and girls whispered to each other and talked about it:

"No, none of this?"

"It's been almost ten days since the paper was handed in..."

"I remember he just came last month?"

"Yes, I remember it too."

"Perhaps the paper was too poor and was withheld?"

"Maybe it wasn't written at all?"

Gretel returned to his seat with strange looks on his face. The teaching assistant knocked on the podium and summed up with a smile:

"Okay ladies and gentlemen, enjoy your New Year's holiday. By the way, before the holiday, you can go to the college library and exchange your grades for some magic."

The students ran away. It’s rare to have so many exchange opportunities open at one time. The scrolls in the library’s reserve are limited. First come, first served. Last comers can only pick up what others have left behind...

Gretel was sitting in the last row and shrank into the seat. The table was immediately hit several times one after another. These mages are usually all delicate and delicate, but now they didn't pause or cry out in pain. After hitting the table, they turned around and ran towards the back door.

With a bang, Grete watched helplessly as the two mages huddled together and got stuck at the back door...

He waited until the classroom was clear, then slowly picked up his schoolbag and walked out slowly. There is a small library at Bridge Magic Academy. Students are not allowed to borrow books. They can only read in the library, and they can only read basic and principle books.

As for wanting to learn a certain magic? Sorry, you can either buy it with gold coins, or exchange it with the contribution points from the Magic Council...

The library was crowded at the moment. Although the seventy or eighty students were standing in a long queue, they couldn't help but jostle and push each other, trying to get closer. Gretel passed them towards the reading area, and heard the administrator behind him keep answering:

"C+? Madam, you can redeem two level 0 magics. Please check the list yourself."

"B-? One level 1 magic, one level 0 magic."

"A-? Sir, two level 1 magics and one level 0 magic. The borrowing time for teaching scrolls is 10 days... Oh, let me see, the holiday is coming soon. You can borrow it until the end of the New Year holiday."

So I missed a grading opportunity...which is equivalent to missing an opportunity to learn magic for free? Gretel turned his feet and returned to the borrowing window. In the library on the other side, a red-haired lady was reading a book. Grete asked her with a smile:

"Excuse me...what are the conditions for borrowing magic?"

"See for yourself." The lady pointed to the wall without raising her head. A flash of light flew out from her bright red crotch, and Grete turned around and quickly scanned the price list on the wall:

For level 0 magic, the borrowing fee for teaching scrolls is 100 gold coins, or 100 contribution points;

For level 1 magic, the borrowing fee for teaching scrolls is 500~2000 gold coins, or an equivalent amount of contribution points.

Level 2 magic...

The borrowing period is 10 days. If there is any damage, compensation will be made according to the price.

Gretel:! ! !

I feel like I missed 100 million, no, I missed several thousand gold coins...

Gretel raised his neck slightly and froze in front of the price list for a long time. Then he turned around, lowered his head, and shuffled away. Alas, there is so much magic in front of you, you can only look at it but not learn it...

In Heartland City's mage tower, half of the level 0 magics are only listed by name, and there are no teaching scrolls to learn; there are only 1/3 of the level 1 magics; and most of the level 2 magics are definitely missing. If you want to learn other things, you must either exchange them privately among magicians, or go to the Magic Council to buy them with money.

Who is responsible for grading his paper... Why did everyone else's scores come out but not his... During this New Year holiday, I could have learned several new magic spells...

"Gret Nordmark?"

Suddenly a voice sounded at the door. Gretel turned his head, turned around, and turned towards the door with his classmates. A fifth-level mage in red robe hurried in, holding a piece of paper and looking around the crowd:

"Who is Gretel Nordmark?—Is it you? Follow me!"

"What?"

"The Archmage wants to see you!"

There was a sudden silence. Under the astonished gazes of his classmates, Grete was carried out of the library by the red-robed mage and thrown onto a black horse.

From the height to the saddle to the eyes and posture, the black horse looks very standard. At first glance, it is the product of [Summoning Mount]. The red-robed mage flicked the reins, and the two horses galloped through the academy and across the streets.

We walked higher and higher, closer and closer to the foothills, and soon we stopped in front of a long building with a curved roof.

Gretel looked at the ceiling doubtfully. The style is so familiar, it always feels like a train platform... Does the technology tree here have a train? When did you get it? Obviously all physics professions use carriages, but magicians like to summon mounts...

Then Grete really saw a train...or something that looked like a train. The length is not very good. Compared with the EMUs in the previous life, even the green leather car is a bit shorter than the big one, and the carriage is also much narrower. But the carriage was really sliding on the rails, clanging, clanging, clanging, and gradually rising up the foothills.

"Where are we going?" Grete asked curiously. The red-robed mage looked matter-of-factly:

"Go up to the magic tower! - The Archmage is very busy, will he come down to see you?"
