Saine recently visited the Mission Hall in the western part of the academy.
The Mission Hall is not only where apprentices accept academy quests, but also where they can post quests after paying a commission.
It has been more than half a year since he left the Lisia Alliance, and now that he has successfully entered the Azure Source Holy Tower, Saine felt it was necessary to send a message to Earl Grant.
As the only remaining direct blood relative of Saine in this world, although Saine never said anything on the surface, he still regarded the Earl as quite important in his heart.
There are two ways for Saine to get the message back to the Lisia Alliance.
The first task is to issue an academy mission, hiring apprentices from the Azure Source Holy Tower to deliver a message to Grant Territory.
Secondly, they use the academy's more advanced Magic Messenger to deliver the letters.
The former requires less effort, and some low- to mid-level apprentices with limited skills are interested in this type of mission, which involves a longer journey.
This also serves as a chance for them to travel and broaden their horizons, while also earning a considerable sum of money as a hired employee.
The downside is that it takes a very long time. Even with the strength of Advanced Apprentice, it took Saine half a year to travel all the way to the Azure Source Holy Tower.
If the less capable apprentices were sent to deliver the message, it would probably take almost a year.
The advantage of the latter using Magic Messenger is its extreme speed; at the speed of flight of Magic Messenger, it can send the letter back to Saine in about a month.
The downside is that it comes at a huge cost; delivering a single letter requires either a High-Level Energy Crystal or a Magic Coin.
After much deliberation, Saine decided to use the Magic Messenger.
It was during this letter-delivery incident that Saine learned that the exchange rate between Magic Coin and High-Level Energy Crystal at the Azure Source Holy Tower was 1:1.
This reminded Saine of when he was in City of Peterte, he actually managed to exchange a Low-Level Recovery Potion for a Magic Coin, which was quite a bargain.
A short letter was handed by Saine to the apprentice on duty in the Mission Hall.
Although most of the magic apprentices at the Azure Source Holy Tower are so-called "Heaven's Chosen," not all of them are like Saine, who has no shortage of Magic Coin and Energy Crystal to spend.

Knowledge has a price, especially those expensive paid courses taught personally by Formal Magician.
No matter how wealthy these apprentices' families are, it would be difficult to support all their expenses at the academy.
Apart from the central Teaching Hall, which is mostly staffed by Formal Magician, the academy also has apprentices working in various places such as the library, Teaching Building, Mission Hall, Nurturing Area, and Plantation.
Simpler tasks, such as cleaning the floor and keeping the Holy Tower Academy clean.
A slightly more complex task is to serve in various regions, helping the Formal Magician maintain the normal operation of the academy.
Of course, there are also some jobs that require extremely high personal qualities and abilities, such as being an assistant to certain Formal Magician, or doing some professional work in the monster Nurturing Area or Plantation.
To outsiders, the apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower are high-ranking and exceptionally respectable figures.
But only by Holy Tower and gaining a deeper understanding of their lives will one discover that these apprentices' lives are not so pleasant after all.
It's fair to say that apprentices at the Holy Tower are much busier than apprentices in other Mage organizations.
Of course, this busyness also represents their increased diligence.
The Holy Tower Academy teaches its students not only knowledge, but also things on a deeper level.
After the start of the general education courses, Saine temporarily suspended his research project.
Instead, he carried a blank Magic Notebook and began to become a regular in various Public Classroom.
It is worth mentioning that the public courses at the Azure Source Holy Tower are mainly prepared for intermediate, low-level, and Entry-Level Magic Apprentice.
These courses, which do not require spending Magic Coin or Academy Points, are designed by the Azure Source Holy Tower to better enable magic beginners to enter the Hall of Elements.
As a Advanced Apprentice, Saine's participation in courses mostly prepared by junior apprentices was undoubtedly quite unusual.
Many of the lower-level apprentices at the Azure Source Holy Tower were curious about where this unfamiliar Advanced Apprentice came from and why he was here to listen to these basic courses.
Saine himself was completely oblivious to the strange looks he received from others.
While he was at the Black Wizard Academy, he did learn and absorb a lot of basic knowledge.
But those basic knowledge,
It was taught by the Black Magician.
You can't expect the teaching abilities of those twisted Black Magician to compare with those carefully selected Formal Magician from the Azure Source Holy Tower.
In addition, the breadth of coverage of basic knowledge by the Azure Source Holy Tower is absolutely incomparable to that of the small Black Wizard Academy in City of Mozhsuobula.
To give a simple example, the courses that Saine has been attending frequently lately, namely the Introductory Light Magic and the Basic Lectures on Alien Planes, are not offered at the Black Wizard Academy.
Watching these young apprentices diligently absorbing knowledge in the Holy Tower, Saine couldn't help but feel a pang of envy for their circumstances.
What was he going through when he was the same age as these junior apprentices?
I listened to Master Ke Suo Long's anatomy class with trepidation, fearing that I would become the next specimen on the Laboratory Table.
Or perhaps he is alone in a dark and oppressive Underground Space, carrying out mandatory missions for the academy.
The Black Wizard Academy won't assign you any easy tasks just because you're a low-level apprentice.
When Saine was the size of these little guys, he had already personally slit the throats of more than a dozen Underground Subhuman who had tried to take advantage of him.
It was during his studies at the Azure Source Holy Tower that Saine discovered something different about it compared to the Black Wizard Academy.
That was a course on the Alien Creature Anatomy, which is a relatively obscure course.
Although it is one of the free college general courses, not many apprentices attend this course; including Saine, there are only about twenty people.
Compared to large classes like the introductory courses on Fire Element and Water Element, which often have one or two hundred students filling the classroom.
The number of students attending the course on the Alien Creature Anatomy is clearly pitifully small.
At this moment in the classroom, the Formal Magician Lan Qi is teaching anatomy to his more than twenty apprentices.
Unlike the Black Magician Ke Suo Long, who preferred to dissect human corpses, the academy's Formal Magician, Lan Qi, used the corpses of otherworldly humanoid creatures.
The faint smell of blood in the air was very unsettling.
This is why very few junior apprentices attend this course.
However, there were quite a few Intermediate Apprentice. Of the more than 20 people in the classroom, over 60% were Intermediate Apprentice, and there were even two who, like Saine, were Advanced Apprentice.
