Strange Game Authorities

The next day after the test, the children all went to school.
Of course, they had to pay one gold coin per semester, twice a year, as their tuition fee.
According to the curriculum Roland devised, they had to study at least five years before they could graduate as useful magic apprentices or official Mages.
Naturally, the children of the poor couldn't afford the tuition fees, but Roland asked them to sign a rather loose contract, in which they could pay part or all of their tuition fees by running errands for the Magic Tower, depending on their amount of work.
Also, the loan could be paid back over a period of thirty years, with no interests charged.
It meant that, if the students were willing to work a couple more years in the Magic Tower, they could soon pay their tuition fees in full. After all, it was not hard for Mages to make money. So, they were almost studying for free.
