After three days of adaptation period, the three of them officially started their learning career.
Considering that new students often don't know where to go in the future and how to adapt to the local environment when they first arrive in a strange environment, the school will teach public knowledge in the first month, which is about life and study.
"The first thing is where you live." In the classroom, a staff member introduced to the students present how to find a place to live, as well as the rental prices in various places, as well as other expenses, etc.
"Currently, you are basically living in officially arranged dormitories, and you don't have to pay fees, so don't worry."
"But in 2-3 years, you are likely to be looking for a house by yourself, and you will need to use the knowledge you learned today."
"The price of Asura District is at the mid-range level among major Academy Districts. A standard single-person residence, that is, a residence with a bedroom and a study room, rents for about 2 gold coins per month. Of course, I am talking about the standard price. The actual price will fluctuate depending on the location of residence. For example, in a prosperous neighborhood, it may cost 4 gold coins a month, while in a remote place, maybe 1 gold coin a month can rent a good place."
"With such a rental price, if you have not become a second-level professional, you cannot support it by yourself just by First Order Transcendent's earning power. So I hope you can reach the second level as soon as possible within three years, otherwise it will be difficult for you to maintain a decent life now."
"Of course, if you are not promoted to the second level after three years, there is no way out. There is a cheaper place to sleep. That is a collective hotel in a specific area, which can provide you with a bed and a locked box. It only costs more than 30 silver coins per month."
"Finally, there are cheaper accommodations, but they are generally for workers rather than students, so don't try them. If you must satisfy your curiosity, I suggest you think back to the stables in the countryside, and they are still very crowded."
"After settling in, you will need the food you need every day. There should be many bakeries not far from your dormitory. The bread sold there is priced at the Mage Alliance, which is not too high. You can fill your stomach with 20 silver coins a month. If you want to eat better, you can go to other restaurants by yourself."
"In addition, clothes are also a very important aspect." He tapped on the blackboard.
"As freshmen, the school will order three sets of uniforms for you in the future. These are all made of high-quality cotton or wool. The price of ordering one set is about 30 silver coins. If you buy it outside, it may cost 50 silver coins."
"Although Asura District does not have mandatory requirements for clothing, you should at least make sure it is clean, tidy and decent, because there are a lot of public facilities here. If you wear dirty clothes with mud, water and bugs, don't blame certain places for not letting you enter."
"In addition, as your senior and senior, my advice to you is that the price and grade of the clothes you buy in the future should be at least higher than the regular clothes customized for you by the school."
"You may say that your family is poor and you don't want to waste money on buying too good clothes, but I want to remind you that the little money you save on buying clothes is far from offsetting the disadvantages of wearing poor quality clothes."
"When you are in a crowd, cheap linen clothes will clearly distinguish you from the classmates around you, which is equivalent to telling the people around you that you are a weak person, that you have a low opinion of yourself, and that you are easy to bully. This not only easily attracts malice and difficulty from others, but also makes it difficult for you to make friends."
"Of course I know that a person's character is not determined by clothes, but people really don't have much time to explore and observe your character, especially when you have to face a lot of strangers in life. This is a fully competitive area. Every time you make friends, you have more ways to survive and learn knowledge. Don't let yourself give people a bad impression."
"After talking about clothing, housing, food, and finally the way to get around here."
"The most commonly used method is of course walking. Now the dormitories you live in are generally not too far from the school. If you want to go shopping during the holidays, buy the things you need, or go to other schools to study, you will need to take a vehicle. Otherwise, you will spend most of the day on the road, which is not worth the gain."
"The first is the public carriage. They are often pulled by 1-2 draft horses and can carry nearly 20 people. The cost per kilometer is about 2 copper coins. The advantage is that it is cheap and cheap. The disadvantage is that it is slow and has a fixed route. The draft horses will occasionally poop, and the smell will float from the front. You'd better wear a towel to isolate it." He made gestures with a joking smile on his lips.
"The second is Steam Locomotive. They are much faster, and only the central main road allows them to pass through. They can reach the destination quickly without being blocked on the road. The advantage is that they are faster, but the disadvantage is that it costs more. The cost per kilometer is roughly 50 copper coins."
"Finally, there are flying rides. They are faster and are not blocked by routes, but they are also the most expensive and cannot carry heavy cargo. They cost 2-5 silver coins per kilometer."
"Okay, that's it for today's class, get out of class is over."
The classroom immediately became lively, with many freshmen discussing enthusiastically what the staff member had just said.
"It's so expensive. Renting a house here costs 2 gold coins a month." Some students lamented.
"My father worked for a year and didn't even have a single gold coin."
"No, you should feel lucky, because setting such a high price means that many students will be able to afford it in the future." Someone encouraged his companions.
"Work hard, I don't want to go back to my hometown and live a life where I can only eat potatoes."
"At least you still have potatoes to eat..." someone added in a low voice.
On the other side of the classroom, Sylutia and two companions were also sitting and talking.
"Is it so cheap to live with 2 gold coins for a month?" The person who said this was naturally the eldest lady Lovier.
"Compared to the outside world, it's already very expensive." Sylutia shook his head helplessly.
Aurora on the other side didn't say much. When the girl asked her, she answered.
"It seems like it costs 50 silver coins a month to rent a good house at my house." Her house is in Greater Airo District, where there is a well-known theater, and many actors and artists gather there. It is a relatively prosperous area in the Mage Alliance.
"Where's Hedra? What's the price like over there Quebes?"
"Well... you can rent a good single room for about 12 silver coins." Compared with the Regas where the girl stayed before, it is naturally much more expensive, but if it is placed at the Mage Alliance, it is indeed very low.
When the three of them were chatting, they unknowingly attracted the attention of other students in the class. This was certainly not because the topics they talked about were so new and special, but because the appearance of these three girls was so extraordinary that it was difficult for people to ignore them.
Especially Lovier, this eldest lady not only has brilliant and soft blond hair, but also her eye-catching pink and white dress and various rare and expensive ornaments on it, almost straightforwardly telling the people around her that her family background is definitely extraordinary, which cannot be faked by ordinary people.
"Shh, did you see that girl?"
"She's so pretty. She must be a young lady from a big family."
"I estimate she is worth at least 100 gold coins."
"100 gold coins? You are so ignorant. I said you may not even be able to buy it with 1,000 gold coins." The companion next to him shook his head.
"I'm so envious. I wish I had a family background like that."
"How about you pursue her? If you marry her, you won't have to worry about it in the future."
"Haha, forget it, the gap is too big." The student looked at the exquisite Weaving bracelet on Lovier's wrist, and then shook his head.
"That bracelet is a "third-level" creation, and I may not be able to afford it in my life."
"Let's look at the other two. I feel that the girl with black hair seems to be more accessible."
"What's her name?"
"It seems to be called, Hedra·Griffin."
"Where's the other one?"
"The girl with silver-gray hair holding the doll is named Aurora, but I don't recommend you go find her."
"Why."
"Because I am also a student of Greater Airo District, I can roughly guess her family background. She should be a direct bloodline of the famous family "Hert Family" of "Opera School"."
"Huh? How did you guess that?"
"Because of her silver-grey hair and eyes, she is simply a landmark in the local area and is too well-known. However, as a member of the "Hert" family, she should be able to directly join Academy, a subordinate of "Opera School". There is no need to come here."
"Perhaps we have different ideas. Just like you and me, we didn't follow our parents' expectations to become Knight. Speaking of which, we have all learned Breathing Technique. With this foundation, we only need to accumulate a few more years. With the help of our family, becoming Knight is almost a matter of course."
"Ah haha, indeed."
After the morning classes, students ate in the school cafeteria. This was also the first time for many freshmen to come to this place.
"Wow, it's such a big restaurant, but the decoration is really simple." After entering the restaurant, Sylutia heard the students in front of him sigh.
She looked around. The walls here were made of red bricks, with beam frames embedded in them. Sitting in the restaurant, she could directly see the staggered beams at the top. However, the place was very spacious. The roof was four or five stories high from the ground. The empty environment in the middle allowed the heat to rise up and dissipate, making the air in the restaurant below refreshing, as if sitting in a large church.
"Three lunches." Coming to the window, Sylutia and his companions carried the plates and received steaming bread, vegetable soup, and two small slices of bacon.
After finding a seat and sitting down, the three of them started eating slowly.
For this kind of food, Sylutia and Aurora are more accustomed to it, while Lovier on the other side is like an adventure treasure hunt, repeatedly looking at the things on the plate, and then trying small bites.
"The bread and vegetable soup are relatively bland." She first commented on the parts that she thought were edible.
"As for the bacon..." She poked it with a small fork, sniffed it carefully, and then blinked her eyes to observe.
"It's not very fresh, and it smells like cooking fumes." She didn't even want to put it in her mouth.
"Of course there is oil smoke, because it is smoke from firewood." Sylutia reminded the other party helplessly.
"But, Hedra, smoking like this will be very dirty, think about the dark smoke, sticking to it, and then eating it into your stomach." She gestured with her fingers.
"Ahem, listen to what you say, what should I do if I can't eat anymore?" Sylutia covered his mouth and chuckled.
Speaking of which, the method of making bacon is indeed not very clean, but most ordinary people will ignore this point, just like the slight charring that occurs when roasting sweet potatoes.
"Is it okay if you don't eat it, Hedra~" Lovier looked at the bacon on the fork, showing difficulty, and then acted coquettishly to the companions around her, hoping that someone would agree to her being a little willful.
"Okay, then I won't eat it." Sylutia thought for a while, it was just a trivial matter anyway.
"Okay~"
After hearing Sylutia's words, Lovier immediately put down the bacon slices in his hands. This move made Aurora on the side look like he wanted to complain.
Just pamper her.
After lunch, classes continued in the afternoon. The content taught during this period was a catalog of courses that new students must learn.
"You all need to master these things. If you haven't heard of or learned these contents before coming here, please make up for it within half a year, otherwise it will affect your subsequent course study." The teacher knocked on the blackboard. The courses listed above include mathematics, history, language, geography, Basic Occult Knowledge, Basic Runes, etc.
These things should have been taught in junior schools in various places before coming to Academy District, but some freshmen have not learned them all and need to make up for them as much as possible during this period.
After the first day of classes, the three of them left the school together. Not far away, a roaring Steam Locomotive stopped on the side of the road, and then two young men in gorgeous dresses stepped out.
"Nice to meet you three ladies. My name is Anderson."
"My name is Andre."
The two people's hair was neatly combed, and when they took off their hats to salute, they revealed their snow-white gloves. Together with the luxurious motorcycles with silver carvings behind them, many girls on the road exclaimed and admired them.
"The night view of Asura is particularly beautiful, including the famous "Golden String Hall", the white "Winged Tower", and the bright "Glazed Flower Hall". These are all unforgettable places."
"We also invite three ladies to get on the bus and go sightseeing with us." They issued a sincere invitation. Such behavior and actions attracted a crowd of passers-by to watch, and many students looked at the luxurious silver motorcycle with envy.
When Sylutia was still thinking about how to politely refuse the two of them, Lovier beside her had already taken her hand and came forward.
"Okay, how much does it cost to take us on a tour?" As she said that, she turned her fingers and took out a shining gold coin from nowhere. What surprised Sylutia even more was that the flower pattern on the gold coin was exactly the same as the gemstone on Lovier's chest.
"How much?" The two of them were a little confused. Of course they invited the three of them to get closer and pursue them.
Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, Lovier put his fingers back and rested the back of his fingers lightly on his chin, "Isn't that enough? I'm sorry."
She politely bent down to apologize, and then took out a shiny gemstone, which should be a "second-order, excellent" quality Garnet.
"Is this okay? Take the three of us to visit Asura District." Although this young lady is a bit naive, she is really not short of money.
After a while, after the two explained each other, and Sylutia reminded Lovier in her ear, she roughly understood the other party's intention.
"So you are planning to pursue me, but this won't work, because I will only marry the person I am destined to choose."
"But you really can't take the three of us shopping? I can pay you and you won't suffer any loss." The eldest lady was still pleading with the other party, her pure eyes blooming with a look of pity that was difficult to ignore or move away from.
Although their plan to pursue Lovier failed, the two young men were ultimately unable to resist the eldest lady's offensive and luxurious remuneration, and agreed to take the three of them to visit the night view and bustling areas of Asura.
After receiving the gem reward from Lovier, the two of them also changed their minds and began to introduce in detail the scenery on the roadside and the most famous buildings here. In the subsequent conversation, the three of Sylutia also roughly knew their identities.
The "Owen Family" they belong to is one of the oldest families in Asura District. It still owns a lot of real estate in Asura District. The dormitories where many freshmen live and the schools where they go to school are their family's properties. Mage Alliance will pay them a fee every year.
Although Owen Family is very rich and the two of them could buy luxury cars when they were young, they are not the core heirs of the family after all. The wealth they can usually control is actually limited, so when Lovier took out the gems, the two of them could not help but get excited.
After the one-night tour, the three of them were sent back to their place of residence.
After one night, Lovier's name quickly spread among the freshmen. Not only their school, but also freshmen from other nearby schools had heard of her name.
"Did you know that last night, the eldest lady with blond hair and pink skirt outnumbered the two young men of the Owen family with her wealth, and even asked them to be her coachmen?"
"Wow, is it so awesome?"
"It is estimated that not many people will dare to pursue her now. No one among the freshmen can afford to offend the young master of the Owen family."
After this experience, many students who were originally preparing to pursue Lovier inevitably gave up. Although some of the remaining students did not give up, they became cautious and began to consider how to improve conditions in order to attract the attention of this eldest lady.
In this way, not long after school started, Sylutia and two roommates lived a life that was both eye-catching and relatively peaceful.
