Chapter 84 Tuition and Fees and

Leo Locke quickly read through their background information.

According to the information on the assignment letter, the two female wizard seedlings, Nikki Crawford and Sybil Lake, are both from native mortal families in the southeast corner, and both have the qualifications of a level 2 wizard.

Their backgrounds are relatively simple.

The origin of the male wizard Miaozi is more interesting. He comes from the overseas mortal world like himself, but he was born in a place called Achaia Island.

The locals called it Achaea.

The main political system in Achaia was slave democracy, where each country was centered around citizens, who enjoyed the greatest freedom, while others were merely slaves of the citizens or second-class citizens.

This wizard seedling, Leo Sis, was a descendant of gladiator slaves from a local city-state.

He had undergone a certain degree of gladiator slave training when he was young. If he had not been suddenly diagnosed with wizard talent and taken away by local second-class wizard apprentices disguised as messengers of God, he would have been like his father, using his body as a consumable in the arena and would have died there sooner or later.

Seeing this, Locke looked up at Leo Sis.

At that time, Leo Sith quickly lowered his head to avoid looking at Locke. He could feel that the senior in white robe in front of him was full of danger. In front of this senior, he lost his sense of security, as if he would be killed at any time.

The feeling of suffocation was constantly pressing on his throat, making him want to escape from here quickly and escape from Locke’s sight.

The next moment, he felt Locke’s palm pressing on his shoulder. At this moment, his muscles tensed and his hair stood on end with fear.

Locke glanced at him. “Good physical condition.”

“It’s just that you’re no longer a gladiator slave. You don’t need to be so wary of strangers.”

“You are my teacher’s student. I will not hurt you. And if I want to hurt you, you will be powerless.”

Locke looked at the three of them and said, “You can call me Senior Locke. Starting today, I will give you a group lesson every day.”

“At the same time, you must also take the three major public courses in the public classroom. Those are the basics. You must be promoted to a second-class wizard apprentice within five years, otherwise you will be expelled.”

“The academy is full of expelled wizard apprentices. So, you better not become like that.”

Nikki and Sybil immediately saluted Locke, “Okay, Senior Locke, thank you for teaching us.”

“We will listen carefully to your teachings and will always be grateful to you.”

The two of them seemed to have already had a certain understanding of the rules of Lilith’s Cottage.

They quickly realized that, in a sense, Locke was their true teacher.

In the next five years, their chances of seeing Witch Sophia will be few and far between.

Unless you become a second-class wizard apprentice, maybe you can meet more often, otherwise there is no chance.

Moreover, a first-class wizard apprentice is already a big shot in the eyes of these two people who come from local mortal families.

Leo Sis gritted his teeth. Locke saw through his thoughts. Suddenly, he felt that Locke was unfathomable and yet so reliable.

He bowed his head to Locke and said, “Thank you… Senior…”

He whispered, “I really can’t get over the life in that world. I’m sorry, Senior, I shouldn’t have been so wary of you.”

Leo seemed to realize that if Locke wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t have the energy to resist, so he relaxed. “Senior Locke, I heard that the apprentices of the dark wizards in the southeast corner are basically slaves of the dark wizards.”

Locke nodded, remembering the style of the previous Blood Curse Court, “Indeed.”

“Those dark wizards are different from white wizards. White wizards at least have rules, but in the world of dark wizards, those with great power can do whatever they want.”

Locke said, “Okay, you three should all know that you need to take out student loans.”

The three of them immediately said that their freshman mentor had already explained student loans to them on the wizard ship.

The interest rate is generally five basis points.

Locke murmured in his heart that the first-class wizard apprentice who served as the freshmen’s mentor this time was much more reliable than the store manager Yuli Burns.

At the time, Yuli Burns hadn’t explained these things to herself at all. If she hadn’t been lucky, she would have been easily deceived and signed a private student loan contract with a very high interest rate.

Locke nodded and said, “Very good, come with me to my house. The student loan is a bit complicated, so the sooner you go through the process, the sooner it’s over.”

“I have my own things to do, and wizards’ time is very precious.”

Today is the day when the Mayfly Fireworks class begins.

Mayfly Fireworks is a high-level 0.8-level cantrip spell model. Using this spell model, you can maximize the effect of the Rotten Earth Amorphophallus.

Although I have applied for special protection and have been staying in Lilith’s cabin and cannot go out, it is good to learn more self-defense spells.

For breeders, learning more botanical spells will undoubtedly increase their ideas and inspiration for cultivating new varieties of magical plants.

Moreover, if he wanted to become a formal wizard, he not only had to reach a mental power of 1000, but also had to learn to construct a first-level spell. This required him to learn more botanical trick models to broaden his horizons.

Of course, the focus must still be on advanced meditation, potion masters and breeders.

The former is related to the fundamental improvement of one’s mana, while the latter is related to whether one has enough magic stones to purchase a large amount of magic resources and maintain meditation efficiency.

Nikki and Sybil looked at each other, and then they cautiously came to Locke and took out about 10 magic stones each.

Locke raised a brow. “What do you two mean by this?”

Nikki and Sybil were startled.

Sybil whispered, “Senior Locke, isn’t that enough? How much tuition and miscellaneous fees do you need? I’m sorry, Nikki and I are not very knowledgeable. We just heard that we have to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees to the seniors who teach us every semester, but we don’t know the exact amount.”

“These magic stones are collected by my family with great difficulty.”

“If it’s not enough, can we just keep the debt and not sign the loan contract first, Senior…”

Nikki also looked terrified.

Leo became anxious. “So there are tuition fees… but I don’t have any magic stones, and I still owe the academy 30 magic stones.”

Locke suddenly realized that those first-class wizard apprentices and second-class wizard apprentices who were substitute teachers would privately collect additional “tuition fees” from the newly enrolled wizard seedlings.

I remember that Lauren and Pierre had mentioned to me a few times that I would have to pay a lot of extra tuition, but I didn’t take it too seriously at the time.

I’m afraid that in Lilith’s Hut, generally speaking, it’s all about formal wizard mentors exploiting first-class wizard apprentices, and first-class wizard apprentices then finding ways to exploit the students below them…

It’s just that the witch he met at that time was Sophia, and Sophia never seemed to charge him extra tuition, and even subsidized him a lot.

Locke was speechless. What’s the point of taking the tiny bits of magic stones from these wizard seedlings? It would be better to launch a few new varieties of magic plants to get magic stones faster.

Locke waved his hand. “No need. I don’t charge tuition fees. Just study hard.”

“Come with me, don’t waste my time.”

Anyway, Witch Sophia never took it from me.

It is estimated that the reason why those first-class wizard apprentices have the habit of collecting tuition and miscellaneous fees is simply because they were also charged in this way when they were wizard seedlings, so it has become a habit.

Nikki and Sybil were both surprised to hear that Locke would not accept it.

Leo was relieved because he had no money at all.
