Going over his cards

In the registration room...

Elena was discussing with the person who was going to register Alex's name.

"Alright. Your registration fee is five hundred yellow sapphirstone and your apprenticeship fee is ten thousand yellow sapphirstones." the man said looking at Alex.

Elena's eyes widened.

She was the one in charge of the talking as Alex knows not a dime how to go about registration.

"Isn't that too much? He is the boy Instructor Jennifer brought in" She quickly said.

"Oh. The special candidate. Alright, this is what I would do. Since you were brought in by an instructor of the academy, I will exempt you from paying the registration fee and then I will slash the apprenticeship tuition fee by half. Now, you would only pay five thousand yellow sapphirstone." the man said.

Elena nodded. This was better.

Then Alex was given the registration form. He would take it to Instructor Jennifer to sign for him.
