Chapter 295 Opera

The end of the examination week had everyone relaxing, even the busy Priest Augustus, who decided to invite Dr. Schneider for a drink at the tavern.

They had actually wanted to invite Shard as well, but Miss Luisa declined on his behalf:

"I've been helping Shard to meticulously read 'Kiss of the Tree' lately, we still have lessons tonight, and absolutely cannot drink."

The doctor expressed his regret but said no more since there was important work to be done. However, before leaving Saint Delan Square with the priest, he took out 200 pounds and distributed them among four people, using a 2.5:2.5:2:1.5:1.5 ratio, with Shard receiving 40 pounds in cash as his share (note).

After the incident at Lakeside Manor, the Academy awarded the group a 1000-pound internal scholarship. Through some rather miraculous maneuvers, the doctor converted the non-cashable sum into cash, losing ten percent in the process, and acquired all the Gold Pounds in four installments.
