Above the mage!

Chapter 148 Credit Ranking
Gaode is busy with his own affairs regularly and attentively every day.

He is in good shape both in mentality and condition.

Eight courses
Anyone who has been to high school, even if you exclude miscellaneous subjects like physical education and music, wouldn't you have at least six courses to start with?

Moreover, compared with the numerous homework assignments after class, the courses at Seres College basically have no homework and are much more relaxed.

Go to bed at one or two o'clock and get up at six o'clock
Isn’t this also a daily routine in senior high school?
Not to mention that Gaode also has the Wulou Fruit Drink, which can relieve fatigue after drinking.

time flies.

Twenty-one new students were admitted on the enrollment day, including a first-ring magician. The emergence of these events attracted the attention of everyone in the academy.

At the beginning, Godd became a little famous because he was targeted by Gerry Harrell, the head student of the Alchemy Department, in the restaurant, and because he broke the record left by the former dean in the enrollment task.

From then on, he spent his days doing the following:
They either practice in the training building, or go to various "teaching buildings" to attend classes, or learn basic runes in the rune workshop. In addition, the most common thing is to cultivate poisonous insects in the breeding room.
Gaode never takes the initiative to get to know others, nor does he take the initiative to cause trouble, just like an invisible person.

So, as time passed, this "lucky guy" who entered the college with the highest treatment with Dean Gavin's recommendation letter and was once famous for a short period of time, soon no one paid attention to him anymore and he was completely forgotten by others.

After all, most people are rational.

Even though many students were somewhat jealous and dissatisfied with Gaode's ability to be admitted with the highest treatment.

But if it weren't for the special case of Gray Harrell, who would inexplicably target someone who has nothing to do with them and make an enemy for no reason?

Everyone is busy, and unless there is a deep hatred, no one would have the time to stare at others.

Not to mention, everyone later learned that the senior instructor assigned to Gao De was Jose O'Kenley from the Rune Department, the long-outdated chief rune instructor.

All of a sudden, they no longer even felt "jealousy" and were more filled with gloating.

Even Gray Harrell seemed to have forgotten about Gold.

Except for the time he stopped Gao De in the restaurant at the beginning, he never appeared in front of Gao De again.

In the entire college, perhaps only Professor He Xi and Professor Xiao Er know Gao De.

Needless to say, the former, after all, the latter would come over from time to time to check on the progress of Gaode's poisonous insect breeding tasks, so they had frequent contact.

But no matter what others think, at least Gaode is very satisfied with his current life:

The level of the mage is increasing at a considerable rate;

In terms of runeology, the number of zero-level basic runes mastered also increased steadily at a rate of five per day;

The mage knowledge that he lacked the most was being supplemented at a rapid pace;

The task of breeding poisonous insects is also progressing step by step, and the origin of [Phantom Centipede] has been fully collected.

Everything is thriving except deposits.

77 gold and 19 silver, this is Gaode’s current total deposit.

On the 10th of the Frost Gold Month, all the usage time of the first-level training room that Gaode purchased last time was used up.

He endured the pain and "spent" 10 gold again, buying 40 hours of use time in the first-level training room.

After this incident, his deposit balance had dropped to 67 gold and 14 silver.

When the time came to the 17th of the Frost Gold Moon, two things happened on that day.

One is that Jelica finally completed her enrollment task.

It took a total of 43 days, 61 days earlier than the average time of 18 days for the mining process to complete the task.

But this is not surprising, because Jelica's physical strength is not as good as that of male students and those civilian students of ordinary backgrounds.

But as a "second-generation lawyer" and a "rich girl", she can continuously drink physical recovery potions to quickly restore the physical strength consumed that day.

This alone was enough for her to easily make up for the slight gap in physical strength and achieve better results.

Of course, Gaode is not that well-informed.

The reason why I know this news is that after completing the admission task, Jelica took the initiative to come to the door to buy the "Leak-proof Water".

43 days of mining has made this young lady from the city lord's mansion exhausted, and she wants to take a break with the help of Gode's magical fruit drink.

Godard thought about it and decided to take a small pot of the special fruit drink, which was already running low, and give it to Jelica.

But this time, Jessica refused to get it for free, so God had no choice but to accept 10 gold from her.

If I could produce "leak-free water" stably, I wouldn't have to worry about money. After this incident, Gao De couldn't help but think.

But he also knew that this was just a fantasy.

Since the first leak-free water came out, Gaode’s “first draw of the day” has never been interrupted.

But over the past ten days, most of the products were "guaranteed" honey water. In addition, there were two batches of malt liquor and one batch of premium honey water.

There is no such thing as leak-proof water.

Another thing is that on this day, Gaode's guidance method had another breakthrough and reached a new level.

His current mana was enough to support him to release ten magic tricks in one breath. Gao De had already completed half of the requirement of releasing twenty magic tricks in one breath for a third-class mage apprentice.

The last time he guided a breakthrough was on the 12th of the Dark Night Month.

These two breakthroughs were only 35 days apart.

This kind of breakthrough efficiency is considered genius at best.

Of course, this is the product of the combination of "leak-proof water" + a first-level training room + improved breathing, not that his own qualifications have really improved.

These external objects and methods that assist in cultivation can bring the greatest improvement to a mage like Gao De, whose aptitude is neither too bad nor too good.

This is a bit like "tutoring" for improving students' academic performance. For students who are too good, tutoring is not of much use to them. And for students who are too bad, tutoring is not of much use to them either.

However, average students are the ones who can achieve more obvious improvement through "tutoring".

However, the leak-free water has not been replenished and according to the current consumption rate, it will be completely consumed in three days.

By then, the progress of Gaode's guidance method will decline slightly.

However, Gaode has no solution to this problem.

"If I had better aptitude, I wouldn't have to spend so much money on cultivation." He couldn't help but think.

Just like studying, Gao De has watched his classmates since he was a child spend a lot of money on various cram schools and private tutors from so-called famous teachers, but they are still not as good as him who never attends cram schools or has private tutors.

He didn't feel any sense of superiority, but he felt a little sorry for them spending the money.

Now, Gaode finally understands the helplessness of his classmates.

Don’t they feel bad about spending the money?
It must be painful, but there is no choice.

If you have average qualifications and want to improve your grades, you can only rely on money to pave the way.

Just like him now.

"Is there any way to improve and enhance my qualifications?" This question popped up in Gaode's mind.

There should be some truth to this.

Demand determines the market. The mage system has been developed for so many years, and there must be many mages who want to improve their qualifications.

Even if you just try your luck, you should be able to come up with one or two methods.

But even if there is such a method, it is not something that he, a mage apprentice, can access.

You still have to become a formal magician first!

Gao De had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but in the end, they just turned into a sigh.

Eat the food one bite at a time.

What is more urgent than becoming a formal mage is making money.

Even with the extra income of 10 gold coins paid by Jelica, Gaode's savings returned to 77 gold.

But obviously, this amount of money will not last long in Seres College.

At least Gaode doesn't dare to buy spell formulas for now, for fear that he will fall into a financial crisis because of this expenditure.

However, it is worth mentioning that Gaode just learned two days ago that Seres College has a mechanism similar to a "scholarship".

To be precise, there should be a credit list.

At the end of each school year, the academy will reward students who rank at the top of the credit list that year in order to support outstanding students and allow them to have more time to devote to practice.

Of course, there is more than one list, and colleges will rank students according to the academic year they entered the college.

This is also reasonable. For example, the last stage of the "Runeology" course will give you 7 credits after completing it, while the first stage course only gives you 1 credit.

If ranking is not based on academic years, the credit ranking rewards will only be monopolized by old students who can take high-credit courses.

However, the list is not divided into very detailed categories.

There are four lists in total.

The first one is the freshman credit list specifically for freshmen, which only allows students who have just entered the college to participate in the ranking.

The rewards for the freshman credit list are the most generous among the four lists.

The new student who ranks first in credits that year can get a reward of 100 gold, the second one can get 80 gold, and the third one can get 60 gold.

The second list is for students in the first to third year of school, and the rewards are inferior to those given to freshmen.

The first place in credits will be rewarded with 50 gold, the second place will be rewarded with 40 gold, and the third place will be rewarded with 30 gold.

The third one is for students in the 3rd to 5th grade, and the rewards are the same as for students in the 1st to 3rd grade.

The last list is for students who are in grade 5 or above, and the rewards are the same as above.
