Chapter 61 The Guide of the Mysterious Academy
The guide of the Mystic School is a young male first-level wizard with black eyes, brown and yellow hair, wearing a standard guide robe and holding a wooden staff inlaid with blue crystals.
At this time, he was slumped on a sofa in the waiting area of the Mystic School, fiddling with the staff in his hand, waiting for possible new students bored.
Before Avis arrived, there was always no one in front of him.
In fact, in the entire Pamir Academy, the Mystic School is considered an extremely niche department. There are only a few new students every year, and they are basically the descendants of some small nobles and wealthy businessmen.
Not everyone can be as foresighted as Avis. Most people, even if they enter the Mystic School, are just wasting time.
"Hello, please ask, is this the waiting area of the Mystic School?"
Hearing Avis's question, the young man did not raise his head, casually raised his staff and pointed outward, and answered habitually.
"You are in the wrong place, this is the Mystic..."
As he said, the young man suddenly reacted and looked up at Avis.
"Wait! Are you a freshman in the Mystery School?!"
"Yes, I am a freshman in the Mystery School."
Anvis looked at the young man in front of him calmly. After the initial surprise, the young guide came back to his senses, followed by a set of standard guide dialogues.
"Please wait here for a while. When all the freshmen of the Mystery Department on the ship arrive, I will take you to the Mystery and Relics College."
"Okay."
Anvis nodded and sat down on a sofa at random.
The full name of the Mystery College is Pamir Mystery and Relics College. It not only teaches mysticism, but also includes the content of relic studies.
Because the relationship between the two schools is special and both are extremely unpopular schools.
Therefore, the college simply merged the Relics School with the Mystery School, and finally the Mystery and Relics College was born.
.
….….
Pani is a descendant of a viscount. Because his family had a glorious period in the past. Under the protection of his ancestors, he was lucky to enter Pamir College last year.
Due to a series of reasons such as hobbies and talents, he finally entered the Mystery College.
But as the college life continued, Pani soon discovered the problem.
Unlike the outside world, gold coins are not very useful in the college. Instead, there is a unique credit system in Pamir.
Here, everything needs credits.
Whether it is precious high-end magic knowledge, powerful high-level spells, or various rare materials, alchemy potions, magic equipment, etc., all need credits to exchange.
If you encounter any difficulties in learning, you can consume credits and ask seniors or even teachers in the same department for one-on-one guidance. You can also use credits as compensation to entrust others to complete various tasks.
Even the college's residence is divided into three levels. Except for the lowest-level multi-person dormitory, which is provided free of charge, the other two independent residences require credits to move in.
In addition to the above three points, credits have another most critical use-
Pamir College's graduation certificate also requires credits to exchange!
According to the difficulty of obtaining credits in each school, the number of credits required to exchange graduation certificates is also different.
For example, the graduation certificate of the Mystic College has an exchange value of 5,000 credits, while that of the Shaping Energy College is 7,000 credits.
However, the time for further study at Pamir College is limited. If a freshman still fails to exchange for a graduation certificate of the department after ten years of enrollment, he will need to spend one thousand credits and extend the semester for five years.
If the total credits still do not meet the exchange standard after five years, Pamir College will directly expel him.
For Pani, that is directly related to his inheritance rights after returning to the family!
However, credits are not easy to earn. With Pani's strength of just the first level when he enrolled, he could not complete most of the tasks.
The small number of tasks that can be done are either a waste of time and few credits, or extremely popular, so he can't take them at all.
In order to earn precious credits, Pani volunteered to take on the task of guiding freshmen.
Each college has one quota for this task every year, and the seniors in the college call it:
"A rare task that only comes once a year-"
"You are a newcomer, we can let you this year, and there will be no such good thing next year!"
………
So, Pani, who was fooled and couldn't find the north, took the task from the senior in a daze.
Originally, he thought it was a simple task to earn credits.
But the key point is that the reward for this task is determined by the number of freshmen guided.
In other popular branches, such as the School of Transfiguration and Transmutation, this task would indeed be very popular, but when it comes to the almost unpopular School of Mystery and Relics...
Pani waited foolishly at the reception desk for a few days. With the arrival of several airships, some freshmen did come here.
But except for a real freshman from the School of Mystery, the rest all took the wrong path!
In the first two days, he was a little excited to become a guide. But now, he just feels like a stupid beast.
That's a full few days! He could have audited several open classes or used it to practice a new spell, but now he can only waste it waiting for people!
Even if he took the least cost-effective cleaning task of the academy, the income would be much higher than now!
Dear seniors, your magic experiments will fail in the next few days! You will be robbed if you accept a task! You will fail the advanced exam! The items you make will be scrapped! Chanting a spell will cause hiccups!
………
Soon, all the freshmen on the airship disembarked.
Seeing that there was indeed no second freshman, Pani sighed, stood up with his staff, and tried to force a polite smile.
"Okay, follow me now."
Anweisi, who already knew the process, also stood up and followed him silently. Pigeon stood on his shoulder and looked around, seeming to feel very novel.
Soon, the two came to the platform on one side of the dock one after the other. On the ground of the platform, there were many independent inscription arrays engraved, and some round discs were suspended on some of the operating arrays.
These floating discs were of different sizes, all silver-gray in color, with complex inscription circuits engraved on the surface, looking very mysterious.
Floating disc square, it's been a long time since I last saw it...
"That's a floating disc, the internal transportation of Pamir College. Since the area of the college is very large, when we don't have the ability to fly independently, taking them is the most convenient way to get to various places in the college."
Seeing that Avis's eyes were fixed on that side, Pani thought that Avis was curious about the floating discs, so he briefly introduced their uses.
Because many freshmen were born in civilian or small noble families, they had never seen alchemical floating discs before coming to the college, and it was normal to feel novel when they suddenly saw them.
Pani was like this back then, and now he also regarded Avis as one of them.
"This way."
As he said, he led Avis to board a special large floating disc.
Standing in the center of the floating disc, Pani took out a nameplate with the college emblem and injected a trace of mental power into it.
As he moved, the college emblem on the nameplate emitted a faint glow. The inscription circuit on the surface of the floating disc was immediately activated, and a special force field enveloped the floating disc.
Afterwards, the floating saucer rose to dozens of meters in the air, and then accelerated instantly, passing through a row of ancient and beautiful buildings, and flew at high speed towards the direction of the mysterious academy.
