The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 38: Adolf (1)

Two thousand gold coins were already a lot to Angele since it could even completely fill a big, heavy bag. When he was still in the Rio Territory, he could buy plenty of things with that amount of money. But in Marua, he needed even more.

‘Aunt Maria was right,’ Angele thought. He read the course list once again. However, as he didn’t find anything useful to him, he could only scrunch his eyebrows. Only the words at the bottom caught his attention:

“The recommendation exam will be held by the end of September. Students who pass three of their courses will be qualified.”

“Pass three of them?” Angele muttered while re-reading over the selections he had.

“I’ll take sword skills, archery, and language then. I’m good at those. The chip will help me get through the language course easily.” Angele finally made his decision and put the sheet back into his pouch after.

People outside the room were still noisy. Angele could hear some of them laughing as they talked. He donned his favorite black hunting suit and checked the things he had brought. Angele put them aside before leaving the room. There were many students around, each forming their own groups. They were either gossiping about certain teachers or about some well-known students. Some were merely talking about the new jewelry and clothes that had just been imported into the city.

Angele walked across the hall, feeling alienated in the atmosphere around him.

‘This place is so peaceful. I guess I’ll need some time to get used to it. I fought too many battles back then at the plains.’ Angele thought. He didn’t plan on staying at this place for too long. After all, there was no point in interacting with the children of high-class nobles or merchants.

Angele walked out of the dorm and looked at the schedule that was pinned on the wall by his side. He took a note of the locations and timetables of the courses he wanted. He then walked straight toward the study area at the back. He could see that all the school buildings were indeed white. Angele headed into the most crowded area — the dining hall. He saw white bread, wine, fish soups, and pan-fried mussels there. He quickly finished his lunch and returned back to his room to get some rest.

The second morning, Angele woke up early. He changed his clothes and quickly finished washing his face and brushing his teeth. Many students hadn’t woken up yet, which was the reason why the dorm was eerily quiet. Angele walked around the hall and saw several students coming from up ahead. They didn’t wear luxurious suits, signifying that they most likely originated from small merchant families. It was likely that they were the most hardworking students in the school. Angele studied hard as well, but only a few nobles would try hard like him.

Angele walked out of the dorm. It was still a bit dark and the area was empty. He could barely see any people. The morning breeze blowing over him was still chilly, and chirping of birds could be heard.

‘My first class is Language, and it’s taught by Master Adolf. Location is at Building 19 Room 304,’ Angele stored the information in the chip earlier, so he quickly found the location after seeing the black mark on the building.

It was a three-story building located at the rear end of the school. There were only five rooms on each floor. Outside the building was a board standing there. The words written on it were Rudin and two other languages Angele couldn’t recognize. These words meant ‘Language’. These words were written in an art form, similar to that of Chinese calligraphy on Earth.

The building was surrounded by wooden fences and between them was an empty ground. A young girl sitting by a red wooden desk that had a label ‘Fee and Registration’ was yawning. Angele looked around, only to find that he seemed to be the only one around.
