Registration

  The Bishop building in the Academy was packed with people, and the hall was very lively.

  ELFs are a race that likes comfort very much. This kind of grand occasion may only be seen during the Elune Festival.

  Some young elf men and women wearing exquisite silk skirts and white shirts and leather waistcoats gathered in front of a row of parchments hanging on ropes, looking attentively at introductions to various subjects.

  Of course, how to choose a subject that suits you is very important for these young elfs who have just entered school...

  A simple course means that you will learn very few knowledge points.

  If you take this kind of course, you will feel sorry for paying so much tuition.

  Choosing difficult courses will not only make the learning process very painful, but also make people crazy when previewing notes before each class. Moreover, they will be even more irritable when it comes to the final graduation defense, and they may have to retake it...

  Roy heard the inside story about these course choices from Moira.

  Don't ask her why she knows, who told Moira to have an elder sister who has been attending elf Academy for two years!

  Now Roy is standing in front of a parchment...

  It seems that before every parchment, someone is giving some popular science introduction to this subject.

  Today is the freshman report, which does not involve senior students choosing courses.

  Therefore, the recommended courses are basically entry level and primary level courses.

  Each subject on the parchment has a number of courses underneath it, making the courses look like a skill tree.

  From the initial courses, we gradually progress to more advanced courses.

  At present, the courses suitable for newly admitted students are all at the root of the skill tree. This knowledge is the basis of these subjects, and the basic knowledge of many subjects is comprehending, which gives everyone many more opportunities to choose.

  Roy had already considered the general direction of his study subjects before entering elf Academy.

  He plans to study martial skills, navigation and literature and history at elf Academy.

  He was very interested in these subjects, and they were some novel things that he had never been exposed to before.

  Especially martial skill, he was very curious about this.

  The reason is simple. Sabrina attended elf Academy for two years and is now able to beat Roy.

  This time Roy chose to apply for a primary level martial arts training class.

  As for navigation, Castletown is a port city. No matter what you do in the future, you will probably be able to take a boat.

  Moreover, elf world is full of sailboats, which are fundamentally different from the ships and yachts Roy knows.

  However, under this navigation subject, there was actually a course called elf continent geography, so Roy filled in this course on the application form.

  As for literature and history, Roy applied for Silvermoon Elf's modern history.

  If he has magic innate talent, he also plans to sign up for an introductory magic course.

  Now it seems that there is no other way. He has to go to Liberty Goddess Temple to learn divine technique.

  Although it is not what he wants most, paid study seems to be good too!

  …

  Squeezing in the crowd and listening to the Senior's explanations of various subjects, Roy finally selected three courses.

  If the courses were not scheduled, he planned to sign up for a fourth course.

  He can only learn knowledge at elf Academy in the morning every day, and go to Liberty Goddess Temple to learn divine technique in the afternoon.

  The hall was full of young elves. On the wall on one side of the hall, Roy filled out a form and handed it in. The person who received the form was an Academy teacher wearing a scholar's robe.

  He was a little surprised when he saw Roy's appearance.

  "Are you human?" the Academy teacher asked.

  Roy answered honestly: "Half-elf, my mother is a Silvermoon Elf."

  His elf is very fluent, and he has a Castletown brogue.

  This Academy teacher actually wanted to exchange a few sentences with Roy in ELF, because the two courses that Roy signed up for required a good foundation in ELF to learn.

  If you are really a human being who cannot even speak ELF fluently, the ELF language course is indispensable in the first year of school.

  "Okay, these three courses are not full yet, so you have successfully filled in the applications. Remember to come to the Academy training ground tomorrow morning for the physical assessment."

  The Academy teacher flipped through a thick catalog and filled in Roy's name on three pages. After completing the filling, he slowly spoke to him.

  Another good thing about elf Academy is that elf people believe that knowledge has no borders. Not only is there no restriction on mixed-race elf and half-elf, but even if humans come to study here, as long as they pay the full tuition, there will be no problem.

  Hearing what the Academy teacher said, Roy immediately saluted him respectfully and gave up his seat.

  There were many elf freshmen lining up behind him.

  …

  Roy walked out of the teaching building. There was a long staircase in front of the door. The steps were lined with lush and green laurel trees.

  The dazzling sunlight fell on Roy's face. After being exposed to the scorching sun for three seconds, Roy obediently got into the shade of a tree and walked to the side road, where there was a slope paved with stones.

  There are many Academy freshmen enjoying the cool under the shade of trees. In fact, elves are also afraid of being exposed to the sun. Their skin will change color after being exposed for a long time...

  Young elves will even sit on the low wall on the side of the road. Men usually do this, and they will look at the passing beauties somewhat frivolously.

  Some very outstanding-looking elf beauties passed by, and there were even young elfs who jumped off the low wall and trotted over to strike up a conversation...

  Roy thinks this phenomenon is normal.

  What he didn't expect was... someone actually came over to talk to him.

  And he is also a handsome-looking male elf. He is wearing a beige vest and a white shirt with a tie. The cuffs actually have a bloomer-like design, as if he has two big snow-white hydrangeas tied to his wrists.

  And he was also wearing a pair of light-colored bloomers.

  ELFs like to wear silk very much. This young elf is wearing a very delicate silk outfit, with trouser legs tied at the ankles, and a pair of leather boots, which is nothing special.

  Silvermoon Elf Men are generally very handsome, and this young elf is not ugly either.

  Silver's short hair is neatly combed, his two pointed ears are exposed, his skin is fair and even a little transparent, and his whole person looks very fresh.

  He did not block Roy's way, but walked forward with Roy, introducing himself as he walked:

  "Oh, hello, my name is Wagner Claire, may I meet you? I am also a freshman reporting here this year..."

  "Roy."

  Roy didn't stop, but he didn't refuse either and said the name casually.

  Seeing that his nails were neatly manicured, there were no messy things like lipstick, foundation, or eyeshadow, and his eyes were clear, Roy felt that he should have a small social circle.

  "I was just behind you in line, and I happened to see that you were also enrolled in the primary level martial arts training class. I also chose this course. It is estimated that we will take classes together in the next year, so I ran over here in advance. Get to know each other." Claire said quickly to Roy.

  Roy then stopped and stretched out his right hand:

  "Claire, nice to meet you."

  In fact, at elf Academy, there are no fixed classes.

  Only if everyone applies for the same course will they sit together and listen to the class. It is very likely that you will meet another group of classmates in the next course.

  Claire and Roy walked side by side on the boulevard...

  What makes Roy a little confused is that there are many ELFs in the hall. There must be a lot of ELFs enrolled in the primary level martial arts training class, and there are many beautiful female ELFs among them.

  Even if he stood in front of Claire when he signed up, this was not a reasonable reason for him to be accosted...

  Along the way, the two chatted casually.

  Claire has a good upbringing and likes to use honorifics when speaking. This is a habit only for elf nobles. According to Roy's understanding, it is to appear more powerful.

  And it felt like he didn't have any ill intentions towards Roy.

  At least the conversation was pleasant.

  …

  Regarding the books used in the course, Academy teachers gave Roy two recommendations:

  First, you can borrow them from the library. Of course, the number of such textbooks in the library is limited, and many of them will inevitably be damaged to a certain extent.

  Secondly, you can buy new ones in bookstores, but these parchment books are still a bit expensive.

  Roy felt that those new books were the first choice for those elf nobles who did not lack Kohler in their pockets. He actually wanted to go to the library to borrow two books first. Even if they were older, it didn't matter if they were missing two pages...

  When Roy told Claire that he was going to borrow books from the library, Claire said to Roy:

  "Why go to the library to borrow books? Why don't we go to the back streets to buy the textbooks used by the Seniors? In many textbooks, even the class notes are neat and tidy, and the key knowledge is marked. They have learned it. After that, I felt that it was of no use anymore, so every year at the beginning of the new semester, I would sell it at a backstreet stall, how about we go and have a look together?"

  "Okay." Roy said cheerfully.

  Roy followed Claire across the elf Academy and discovered that the Academy was really not that big. It occupied the Level 3 steps on the hillside of Castleton City.

  The tallest teaching buildings in the Academy look like ancient trees dozens of meters high from the outside, with dense branches and leaves on the tree crowns.

  Now, when Roy was walking on campus, he saw the ancient trees that were tens of meters high and realized that they were all imitation tree-shaped buildings, and the trees on the top of the buildings were all plants growing on the top.

  Even the main body of the building is covered with vines, making these teaching buildings look like giant trees.

  The Academy does not have a cafeteria or dormitory, and all foreign students need to rent their own houses around the Academy.

  As for how to fix lunch…

  This couldn't be simpler for ELFs, because the only foods they like to eat are fish and fruits. Just put an apple in your pocket for lunch.

  There is no real wall in the Academy. There is an open lawn between the Academy and the street.

  There are many art sculptures on both sides of these lawns. Many of these sculptures are based on the understanding of beautiful body curves, which opened Roy's eyes.

  Houjie Street is dotted with various shops and workshops, as well as a small market.

  Those second-hand books are placed on the stalls of this small market, and those stall owners are, as Claire said, young elves.

  There are even some elves wearing Academy robes.

  Sure enough, the price of textbooks sold here is almost half of the price of new books in the bookstore.

  The older they are, the cheaper they are. Many books are even densely packed with elf text.

  Of course, the elf texts on these pages are not all class notes, there are also essays recording moods, some nameless poems written on the pursuit of romance, or some random things.

  It is likely that these elf students have inherited this old book into a unique culture.

  But Roy couldn't accept it. He spent a long time shopping at the bookstall, and finally found two second-hand books that only recorded a few class notes. Each book was bought for 130 kohler.

  If they are new books, the price of these two books is estimated to be around 400 kohler.

  Yes, books are that expensive in Castletown.

  It cost Roy about a week's salary to buy two second-hand textbooks that were 70% new, and Roy felt very good immediately.

  After buying the textbooks, Roy planned to leave elf Academy and go to Liberty Goddess Temple to learn divine technique in the afternoon.

  Before leaving, Roy finally couldn't help but asked Claire who was standing on the roadside waving goodbye to him:

  "Claire, let me ask you a question. If I don't ask it, I might not be able to sleep well tonight... Why did you choose me?"

  Claire put her hands in her trouser pockets and held three art textbooks under her arms. In Roy's opinion, they should be equivalent to music scores for beginners such as Canon.

  He was leaning against a laurel tree, looking somewhat handsome, and his expression was not arrogant or annoying, and he was about to wave goodbye to Roy.

  "What?"

  Claire immediately didn't respond to Roy's question.

  Roy could only say it again:

  "I mean choose me as your new friend at elf Academy."

  Claire laughed, with some cunning in her clear eyes.

  "Want to hear the truth?"

  "certainly!"

  "Then you can't be angry, and you can't break off our relationship with me. I promise I don't mean any harm." Claire patted her chest and said.

  Roy readily agreed: "Okay, I promise you."

  Claire lowered her voice and said:

  "I was afraid of being beaten in the martial skill training class. I have a friend who signed up for this primary level martial skill training class and was beaten violently by his sparring partners all day long until he gave up the course. A year wasted in vain."

  "..."

  Roy didn't expect that to be the case.

  Saying goodbye to Claire at the intersection of Houjie Street, Roy held two books under his arm and trotted towards the downtown area.

  From the Academy, you need to cross a city block from Brown Street, which is still very far. Fortunately, the road is almost all downhill. It shouldn't be too difficult for Roy to get back to Liberty Goddess Temple on time.

  …

  Just as Roy's silhouette was about to disappear at the intersection of stairs, Sabrina and two of her best friends just turned out of Houjie.

  She recognized Roy at the corner of the street at a glance. Seeing him holding two books and trotting towards downtown, Sabrina couldn't help but stop and stretched out her fair neck to look over there... …

  She inherited half of Wood Elf's bloodline and is extremely tall, a head taller than her companions.

  My best friend asked curiously: "Sabrina, who are you looking at?"

  "No...no."

  Sabrina hesitated slightly and answered subconsciously.

  The best friend pushed Sabrina on the back and said, "Let's go..."

  Another best friend held a thick stack of books in her hands and groaned in great distress: "It's really annoying, I have to retake it this year..."

  　There was nodded halo, but there is no more today,
