Chapter 168 Making up for "Mistakes"

After listening to Thomas' introduction, Joan's understanding of Robert Rawls has deepened.

This master is the youngest level 9 mage of Leiden Academy, and also the most famous inventor of Leiden Port. The construction technique of "activated scarecrow" is known as "the father of scarecrow".

"Master Rawls is famous for rarely accepting apprentices, and only accepting high-achieving students. He originally had two disciples, both of whom were well-known genius mages in the school. After three years of study, he graduated ahead of schedule and went to Mi Degarde University for advanced studies." Thomas mentioned the two seniors, a trace of envy appeared in his eyes, and then he became excited again, "After the two seniors graduated, Master Rawls did not accept any more apprentices for a whole year, probably because he did not have him. You, me, and Edward Gates filled the vacancy until this year. If there is no accident, we will be able to graduate early in three years at most. Then we will go to Midgard to meet Big world!"

Joan made no sound.

Right now, he still dare not think about going to Midgard University for further study, and he must thank the gods for his blessings if he can successfully graduate from Leiden College.

In fact, he is more worried about how to raise tuition fees than his studies.

In fact, besides Joan himself, there is another person who is also thinking about the same problem for him.

After the "draft meeting" was over, Walter Lee, who was the chief examiner, led all the tutors and students back to the auditorium to attend the opening ceremony. On the way to the auditorium, Joan heard someone calling his name behind him, and the voice seemed familiar.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Qiao An looked at the slightly fat man in his thirties, vaguely felt that the man looked familiar, and couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Mr. Vida, don't you remember me?" The man was full of smiles, "My name is Martin Smith. You came to Leiden College to take the entrance examination last winter. I served as your examiner and helped you fill out the A student loan contract."

Hearing what he said, Joan remembered that this person was the examiner who tried to persuade him to change to the Warlock profession. At that time, he thought that the other party was a teacher at Leiden College, and he was indeed qualified as a teaching assistant in terms of age, but the name "Martin Smith" left a deep impression on him—isn't it the one Thomas mentioned just now who was taken by Walter Lee? The unlucky guy who was forced to repeat a grade for three years and hasn't graduated yet!

Looking at Martin Smith's haggard face, sparse hair on top of his head, and shabby clothes, Joan not only sympathized with what happened to him but also worried that he would fall into the same situation in the future, and bowed back with mixed feelings.

"Mr. Vader, please don't be polite! In fact, I came to you this time because I was entrusted by someone to introduce you to a warm-hearted friend."

Martin Smith moved aside, causing Joann's eyes to fall on the man behind him who was wearing a high-end woolen coat, top hat, well-trimmed and waxed mustache, and a professional smile on his face. On a middle-aged gentleman.

"Mr. Vida, this is Mr. Charles Fitzgerald, the 'student loan agent' assigned by Will Noah Colonial Company to Leiden College."

Before Joan could understand the long list of awkward titles, Charles Fitzgerald had already stepped forward, gracefully took off his top hat, and bowed.

"Mr. Vader, I wonder if I may have the honor to invite you to lunch?"

"Bring me to lunch?" Joan was bewildered, "Why?"

The ignorant expression of the country boy almost made Mr. Fitzgerald laugh, but he soon remembered that although his words and deeds were rustic, he was a genuine arcane genius.

Against the backdrop of the halo of genius, unsophisticated and rustic have become tolerable, and can even be called the advantages of "simple and unaffected".

"Mr. Vader, to be honest, I invite you to dinner for two reasons. First, I want to make friends with a young genius, and second, I want to make up for a mistake. I wonder if you can reward me with this thin noodles?"

Mr. Fitzgerald's elegant speech made Joan feel very uncomfortable, and he had to think hard about the real intention behind his overly particular words and sentences.

This is simply more brain-intensive than deciphering spells!

"I'm sorry, I still don't quite understand what you mean by 'making up for mistakes'."

"Speaking of which, it's really embarrassing."

Mr. Fitzgerald glanced at Martin Smith intentionally or unintentionally, with reproach in his eyes.

"Mr. Vida, when you came to take the entrance examination last winter, my friend Mr. Martin Smith learned that you were not well-off, so he suggested that you sign the student loan contract provided by our company for charitable purposes. Do you still have an impression?"

"Of course! According to that contract, Will Noah Colonial Company will provide half of my tuition fees..." Joan's face changed, "Do you want to go back on your word and stop providing me with student loans?"

"No, no, no, no! You misunderstood!" Fitzgerald shook his head like a rattle, and explained eagerly, "Mr. Vader, in fact, it's the opposite. Martin greatly underestimated your potential and talent at the beginning, and actually only You offer a half-bursary, which is an insult to you!"

"But I don't think it's an insult. My grades were really average at that time. The student loan provided by Mr. Smith helped me a lot. I am very grateful to him." Joan said truthfully.

Martin Smith shuddered and looked up at him gratefully.

"In any case, half the student loan is not worthy of your genius status. If this matter gets out, the reputation of the company and myself will be affected. Although Martin saw it wrong at the beginning, no one in the social field recognized it. Who is Martin Smith, people will only blame me for this mistake, Charles Fitzgerald, and laugh at me for being inferior, what face do I have to make a living in this industry in the future?"

Mr. Fitzgerald sighed pitifully, then looked at Joan expectantly.

"Mr. Vader, in order to restore my reputation, please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes."

Seeing a big man pretending to be pitiful in front of him, Qiao An couldn't bear it, so he asked him: "How do you plan to make up for it? If you just treat me to dinner, then there's no need."

“Not just a lunch of course!”

Mr. Fitzgerald was like a magician performing "face changing" in a circus, his frustrated face was immediately replaced by a sweet smile.

"We'll make a new deed of student loan for you, not only full tuition, but also apartments, carriages, maids, theater boxes, and everything else that will make your life more convenient and comfortable—all expenses All will be paid by the company in advance for you!"
