The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 535 Eberhard
Moran was so engrossed in her book that she didn't notice a mage apprentice passing by her three times.

Eberhard was a student who enrolled in the School of Spirituality a few years ago. He was sent directly to the Imperial Magic Academy before his enlightenment because of his outstanding talent.

He specializes in mental magic and also practices wind elemental magic.

A few months ago, when he attended his first apprentice magic practice class at the School of the Mind, he was criticized by the teacher for his serious lack of theoretical foundation and was banned from attending practice classes for a year.

He needs to spend the past year intensively studying his mental magic theory so that he can pass the test in the new year and re-enter the apprentice magic practice class at the Mental Sector.

Recently, he has been coming to Library No. 1 every now and then to borrow some theoretical books to read.

He did not sign the elite student contract; he was just an outstanding student, so naturally he was not able to rent a dormitory near the main tower.

Each round trip not only takes a lot of time, but also requires spending points to ride the magic carriage.

However, the environment in the apprentice-level library was really not suitable for reading; sitting for a while would cause back pain.

He already found these books boring; otherwise, he wouldn't have been kicked out of class because of his poor theoretical foundation.

He couldn't stand the uncomfortable environment even more.

But today, look what he found in Library Number 1!
A set of soft sofa chairs and desks, and a lady sitting on them reading a book on basic spiritual magic theory.

When he passed by for the first time, he almost thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him because he had forgotten to meditate after staying up all night.

I looked back, and there it was!

He turned past the bookshelf and walked by it again; this time, he saw it clearly.

it is true!
Eberhard was eager to know how she managed to get such a set of equipment into the mage tower.

He had considered it, but servants and guards without student cards were not allowed to enter the mage tower, and there was no way he could carry so many things in and out by himself.

But the high-ranking mage badge on this lady's chest was too dazzling.

Eberhard hesitated for a moment and missed the best opportunity to ask questions.

How could a high-level mage understand the theoretical knowledge of an apprentice? Was she also kicked out of class by the teacher to cram for basic knowledge?

This guess gave him a bit of courage, and he turned back for the third time: "Senior! Senior?"

In the Imperial Magic Academy, those who teach public courses are collectively called teachers, while those who teach privately are called mentors. Students of higher rank are called senior students, regardless of their enrollment time or age, and those of lower rank are called junior students. Alternatively, they can be addressed by their names, just like those of the same rank.

Moran looked up at the apprentice with a hint of annoyance at being disturbed: "What is it?"

"Senior, may I ask how you moved this sofa and this table here?"

High-level mages are indeed powerful; they can easily obtain titles in any of those vassal states. However, Eberhard doesn't believe that a high-level mage can possess valuable spatial equipment.

Moran thought of the hard, stiff tables and chairs in the library and understood: "Want them?"

Eberhard nodded repeatedly.

Moran became interested: "Perhaps... you've heard of the Dawn Society?" "What?" Eberhard looked completely bewildered.

"You haven't left Tallinn in a long time, have you?" Moran gave him a knowing look; all the mages are hardcore gamers!
Having been tormented by theoretical books for months and not leaving Tallinn, Eberhard, whose life revolved around his dormitory, the cafeteria, and the main tower, felt as if an arrow had pierced his chest: "What's going on? Has something big happened outside Tallinn?"

"Recently, a new special magic has become popular in the Magic Empire—Dawn Academy Magic. With this magic, you can obtain many magical cards. The Dawn Food Street outside Tallinn is a street opened using Dawn Academy food cards, and it has been very popular recently."

All these things of mine were materialized using furniture cards from the Dawn Academy; I can put them away at any time to restore them to their original card form.

As Moran spoke, he restored the magic lamp on the table to its original card form.

Eberhard: "!!!"

“I have a Dawn Society Trial Invitation Card here. If you take it, you’ll definitely be able to join the Dawn Society. I’ll sell it to you for 100 points. Do you want it?” Moran produced another card out of thin air and waved it in front of Eberhard.

Eberhard was very tempted.

But 100 points is so expensive!
He only receives a thousand points a month for his studies, and these points are used to pay for dormitory fees, hire servants, ride in public magic carriages, and also to pay for classes and borrow magic books.

Although one point is enough to read many theoretical magic books at the apprentice level, he still needs to accumulate points to borrow more advanced magic books for future higher-level magic classes!
Seeing his hesitation, Moran added, "There are also ways to obtain Green Ghost Fruits in the Dawn Academy! Moreover, once you join the Dawn Academy, you can exchange one-time active mental energy for food cards anytime, anywhere, so you no longer have to waste points eating in the cafeteria."

He then pulled out a pre-made food card: "Look, this is my lunch."

These words struck a chord with Eberhard.

Green Ghost Fruit allows you to eat anytime, anywhere without spending points. Most importantly, you don't have to go back to the dormitory every day, and you also save points for riding the Duchy Magic Carriage. If you're really keen, you can even save on accommodation fees.

Eberhard suddenly realized that 100 points was a great deal: "I'll buy it!"

Moran took out her student ID card.

“Gold? You’re an elite student?” Eberhard looked at her with pity.

Elite students seem to enjoy good treatment, able to read magic books and attend public magic classes for free. However, after reaching the peak level, they have to give 5% of every resource they earn from the Sky Well to the Imperial Magic Academy.

This is for life!
The lifespan of a top-tier mage is certainly more than a hundred years.

deficit! What a loss!
"What's wrong?" Moran asked knowingly.

“No, nothing,” Eberhard said.

He transferred 100 points to Moran and then took the {Dawn Academy Trial Invitation Card}.

When the invitation from the card landed in his hands, he experienced the magic of the card's manifestation for the first time. He examined it for a long time but couldn't find any trace of alchemical runes: "Who is the senior who developed this magical item? It's amazing! There are absolutely no traces."

"Then I don't know." Moran had earned the points and was too lazy to pay him any more attention, so she lowered her head and continued reading her book.

Eberhard tactfully left as well.

However, even though the contents of this trial invitation seem respectable and lenient, it cannot hide the fact that it is a contract.
