Chapter 44 Money Stealing Academy

The middle-aged professor took the letter of recommendation from Arthur in disbelief, and his hand shook inadvertently when he saw the signature at the end of the letter.

The letter is definitely not a forgery. It is stamped with the Marquis's personal seal. In any human country, forging the personal seal of a high-ranking noble is a serious crime.

The middle-aged professor's cold face immediately changed into a smile, "Since you have a letter of recommendation, you meet the admission requirements. As long as you pass the entrance test, you will be an official student of my Guano Royal Academy. Come on, I will take you to register."

 The crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into an uproar when they heard the conversation between the two. They did not expect that the little mercenary in front of them also met the qualifications for recommendation.

Arthur scratched his head, wondering why the professor's face suddenly changed so quickly, but he was smart enough not to continue asking, and quickly kept up with the middle-aged professor's footsteps.

As for the blond boy lying on the ground, except for a few followers who crawled over to rescue him, no one paid attention to him. This is the reality in mainland China. The focus of people's eyes is always only on the strong!

The middle-aged professor introduced to Arthur as he walked: "I am Professor Augustus from the college's teaching office. I am responsible for the discipline of the college. From now on, you can call me Professor Augustus."

"Hello, Professor Ogu, my name is Arthur, from the city of Huey Ores."

Arthur found that Professor Ogu was not as scary as he had just shown. But what he didn't notice was that all the students who came towards him seemed to be deliberately avoiding them. What he didn't even know was that the previous students privately called Professor Ogu the Skeleton Professor.

Walking into the majestic gate of the college, there is an open circular square behind it, paved with large blue rocks.

 Three mountain roads extend from the square, leading to different directions.

Professor Aug suddenly stopped and pointed to the three mountain roads and introduced: "The one on the left leads to Yuyun Palace, where the academy trains warriors. The one on the right leads to the Magic Forest Tower, which is responsible for training magicians of various departments. The one in the middle leads to the administrative area and the college library."

"The registration for new warriors is also in Yuyun Hall, let's go this way." After Professor Aug said, he walked straight to the mountain road on the left. After walking a few steps, he found that Arthur was still standing there.

Arthur scratched his head and showed a shy smile, "Professor, I want to sign up as a magician."

Professor Ogu opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless for a moment.

 "You said you are a magician?"

Arthur nodded seriously.

Arthur chose his major before entering the academy. A powerful warrior does not need complex martial arts. The simpler the killing moves, the better. Therefore, Arthur, who has "Death Fight" in his body, is very interested in learning other martial arts. The need is not urgent. Although "Dan yang Refining God" brought him great pain during practice, the effect of practice is unmatched by other Your Qi techniques. Contrary to warriors, the more powerful magicians need to master more spells, and the various magic principles and magic arrays are extremely complex. It is difficult to become a powerful magician without specialized and systematic study.

"Another weird flower! It seems that Guano Royal Academy will never be able to take off the hat of weird flower." Professor Aogu had no choice but to turn to the right, and continued to curse as he walked. He couldn't imagine the man behind him who relied on martial arts to... The boy who was against three turned out to be a magician.

Going up the winding mountain road, passing through a landscape full of exotic flowers and rocks, Guano Academy was like a royal back garden, making Arthur look around dizzyingly.

After walking on the mountain road for more than a mile, the scenery suddenly opened up. Magician towers of different sizes stood among the mountains and forests.

Magic towers have different shapes. The short ones are only three floors and seven or eight meters high, while the tall ones are seven floors and tens of meters high. Some towers are also shining with strange magical light. The most eye-catching magic tower in the center is a hundred meters high. The huge tower can accommodate thousands of people. Looking up, the top of the tower is always flashing with electric light.

Professor Ogu didn't explain too much, and led Arthur straight to a seven-story magic tower with a simple shape.

A number of new students waiting for the test have gathered in front of the tower. They were called into the tower one by one for the magic test. Those who pass the test will be issued a magic token marking the identity of the academy student.

The freshmen who have not been called yet gather together in twos and threes. Each of them is dressed in luxurious magician robes. The magic wands in their hands are of different shapes and materials, but without exception, they are all enchanted wands. The expensive and rare magic equipment for mercenaries is just a daily learning tool for these wealthy and noble children.

When Arthur, wearing mercenary leather armor and carrying a giant sword, appeared among these people, he immediately caused quite a stir.

 "Is he also a magician?" Someone whispered.

 "There are no entrusted tasks here, mercenaries!" Some people laughed directly.

Arthur chose to ignore the comments and gazes of the people around him, and instead looked curiously at the magician tower in front of him.

"Test this little guy first." Professor Ogu directly handed Arthur's previous recommendation letter to a young female professor in charge of guidance in front of the mage tower.

The female professor just glanced at the signature of the recommendation letter and returned it to Arthur. Then she chuckled and said, "No wonder Professor Ogu brought him here in person, but are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place?"

Professor Ogu's mouth twitched slightly, "Actually, I want to know too."

"Then go in." The female professor gestured to Arthur to go in directly.

Arthur stepped forward and gently pushed open the door of the magic tower. As soon as he stepped in with one foot, a soft magical light enveloped his whole body.

 "Detect magic!" Arthur did not move, letting the magic light flow from his body.

"He is of the right age, and has both fighting spirit and magic elements in his body. He is really an interesting little guy."

The first floor of the magic tower is an empty hall. There is a long ebony table facing the door, and three magicians are sitting behind the table. The voice came from a short old man in the middle. He was wearing a white magic robe, a gray beard, bright eyes, but his nose was a little red, which added a touch of joy to the image of a noble magician. The magician on the left is slightly younger than him, tall, majestic, and always cold-faced. The magician on the right is covered with a flowing halo. Not to mention his appearance, even his gender cannot be distinguished by Arthur.

Arthur stepped forward and bowed to the three of them.

The short old man said directly: "The standard for recruiting students at Guano Academy requires that they be under sixteen years old and reach the third level warrior or the second level magician. The second level magician is required to release at least two complete second level magic skills without the help of a staff. If you're ready, start."

 "Can any magic be used?"

 "Any type of magic is acceptable."

Arthur nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a wall of fire appeared in front of the three magicians. The speed of casting the spell was so fast that the old magician's eyes lit up.

Before the wall of fire was extinguished, a whirlwind appeared out of thin air. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the whirlwind rolled the flames and burned them towards the long sandalwood table.

 "Showing off!" The old magician on the left snorted, but no movement was seen from him. The whirlwind and wall of fire suddenly disappeared.

 "Okay, tell me your name."

 "My name is Arthur Shallow."

"Arthur, you are admitted." The old magician picked up a black shield-shaped token from the table, and with a flash of light, Arthur's golden name appeared on the black token.

The old magician threw the token directly to Arthur, "Remember, from now on, the Blood Glory Token must be carried with you. It is not only a certificate of student identity, but also a key to entering and leaving the academy. Take the token and go out, will you?" Someone will guide you through the subsequent admission and payment procedures."

Arthur scratched his head, "Do you still have to pay a fee?"

"Three thousand gold coins for a year's tuition, not a penny less!" The magician on the left said again with a cold face.

Arthur was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Are you a money-grabbing academy?"
