Chapter 148 Credit Ranking
Gaode is busy with his own affairs regularly and attentively every day.
Whether it is mentality or condition, he remains in good condition.
Eight courses
Every person who goes to high school, even if you leave out miscellaneous subjects such as sports and music, doesn’t he start with at least six courses?
Compared with the numerous homework assignments after class, the courses at Sires 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 the daily routine of the third year of high school?
Not to mention that Gaode also has a leak-free fruit drink, which can relieve fatigue after drinking it.
Time flies by.
On the admissions day, twenty-one new students were recruited, including a first-level mage. The emergence of these things attracted the attention of everyone in the academy.
Gothe was initially famous because he was targeted by the chief student of the Alchemy Department, Gerry Harrell, in the restaurant, and because he broke the record left by the former dean during the admissions task.
Since then, he has been working at three o'clock and one line all day long:
Either practicing in the training building, or rushing to various "teaching buildings" for classes, or learning basic runes in the rune workshop, and the most common thing is to cultivate poisonous insects in the breeding room
Gaode never takes the initiative to get to know others, let alone look for trouble, just like an invisible person.
So, as time went by, he, the "lucky guy" who entered the academy with Dean Gavin's recommendation letter and received the highest treatment, and who had been famous for a short time, soon stopped paying attention and was completely forgotten by others.
After all, most people are still very rational.
Even though many students were somewhat jealous and dissatisfied with the fact that Gaode was admitted with the highest salary.
But if it weren’t for the special situation of Gray Harrell, who would inexplicably target a person who has nothing to do with him and make an enemy for nothing?
Everyone is very busy, and no one would have the intention to stare at others unless they have deep hatred.
Not to mention, everyone later learned that the senior tutor Gothe was assigned was Jose O'Kenley of the Rune Department, the chief rune tutor who had long since expired.
Suddenly, they no longer even felt "jealousy", but were more gloating about their misfortune.
Even Gray Harrell seems to have forgotten Gothe.
Except for stopping Gothe once in the restaurant at the beginning, he never appeared in front of Gothe again.
In the entire academy, perhaps only Instructors He Xi and Instructor Xiao Er know the character Gao De.
Needless to say the former, the latter comes over from time to time to check on the completion of Gaode's poisonous insect cultivation task, which is considered a regular contact.
But no matter what others think, at least Gothe is very satisfied with his current life:
The mage level is increasing at a considerable speed;
In terms of runes, the number of zero-level basic runes mastered has steadily increased at the rate of five every day;
The most lacking mage knowledge is being replenished rapidly;
The task of cultivating poisonous insects is also gradually progressing, and the source of [Phantom Thorn Centipede] has also been fully collected.
Everything is thriving except deposits.
77 gold and 19 silver, this is the entire deposit of Gaode at the moment.
On the 10th of the Frost-Gold Month, the first-level training room purchased by Gaode last time has been completely consumed.
He endured the physical pain and made another "big spend" of 10 gold, winning 40 hours of use time in the first-level training room.
His savings balance, after this time, has dropped to 67 gold and 14 silver.
When the time came to the 17th of the Frost Gold Month, a total of two things happened on this day.
One is that Jelika finally completed her enrollment mission.
It took a total of 43 days, 18 days earlier than the average 61 days it took for the mining stream to complete the task.
But this is not surprising, Jelika's physical strength is not comparable to that of male students and those civilian students with ordinary backgrounds.
However, as a "second generation of law" and a "rich daughter", she can continuously drink physical recovery potions to quickly restore the physical strength consumed that day.
This is enough for her to easily close the gap in physical strength and achieve better results.
Of course, Gaode is not that well-informed.
The reason why I know this news is because after completing the enrollment task, Jelika took the initiative to come to the door to buy "Leakless Water".
After 43 days of mining, the lady from the City Lord's Mansion was exhausted, and she wanted to use Gaode's magical fruit drink to relieve herself.
Gothe thought for a while, but took a small pot from the few special fruit drinks left and gave it to Jelika.
But this time Jelika was determined not to "have sex for free", so Gao De had no choice but to accept 10 gold from her.
If we could produce "leak-free water" stably, we wouldn't have to worry about money. After this, Gaode couldn't help but think.
But he also knew that this could only be a fantasy.
Since the first leak-proof water came out, Gaode's "first pump every day" has not stopped.
But after more than ten days, most of them were "guaranteed" honey water. In addition, there were two malt liquors and one high-quality honey water.
Water without leaks does not exist at all.
Another thing is that on this day, Gaode's guidance method made another breakthrough and reached a new level.
His current total amount of mana is enough to support him to cast ten tricks in one go.
Gothe has already completed half of the twenty tricks required by the third-class mage apprentice in one go.
The last time he guided a breakthrough was on the 12th of the Dark Night Moon.
The two breakthroughs were only 35 days apart.
This kind of breakthrough efficiency can be considered a genius.
Of course, this is the product of the superposition of "leakless water" + first-level training room + improved breathing. It does not mean that his own qualifications have really improved.
These external objects and methods that assist cultivation are the greatest improvement for a mage like Gaode whose qualifications are neither too bad nor too good.
This is a bit like "tutoring" for improving students' performance. For students who are too good, tutoring is of little use to them, and for students who are too poor, tutoring is not of much use to them.
Medium-level students can achieve more obvious improvement through "tutoring".
It's just that the leak-free water has not been replenished. According to the current consumption, it will be completely consumed in three days.
By then, the popularity of Amap’s guidance method will decrease slightly.
However, Gaode has no solution for this.
"If I had better qualifications, I wouldn't have to spend so much money on training." He couldn't help but think.
Just like studying, Gaode has watched his classmates since he was a child. He spent a lot of money on various cram schools and found private tutors from so-called famous teachers. However, he was still not as good as him who never went to cram schools or tutored.
He doesn't have any sense of superiority, he just feels sorry for them about the money.
Now, Gaode finally understands the helplessness of his classmates.
Don’t they feel sorry for the money themselves?
It must be distressing, but I have no choice.
With average qualifications, if you 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 my qualifications?” This question popped up in Gaode’s mind.
There should be some reason.
Demand determines the market. The mage system has been developing for so many years. There must be many mages who want to improve their qualifications.
Even if you try your luck, you should have found one or two methods.
But even if there is such a method, it is not something he can access as a mage apprentice now.
It is better to become an official mage first!
Goth's mind was full of thoughts, but in the end they just turned into a sigh.
Eat the meal one bite at a time.
The more urgent thing than becoming an official mage is making money.
Even with the additional income of 10 gold coins paid by Jelika, Gaode's deposit returned to 77 gold again.
But it is obvious that this amount of money cannot last long in Siris Academy.
At least Gaode doesn't dare to buy spell formulas at the moment, 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 Sires College has a mechanism similar to a "scholarship".
To be precise, there should be a credit list.
After the end of each academic year, the college will reward the students who rank at the top of the credit list that year to support outstanding students and allow them to have more time to devote to practice.
Of course, there is more than one list, and the colleges will be ranked according to the number of academic years that students have entered the college.
This is also very reasonable, just like the last stage of the "Runeology" course, which has 7 credits after completion, while the first stage course only has 1 credit.
If the ranking is not divided into academic years, the credit list ranking rewards will only be monopolized by veteran students who can take high-credit courses.
However, the list is not very detailed.
There are four lists in total.
The first one is the freshman credit ranking 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 richest among the four lists.
The new student who ranks first in credits that year will receive a full 100 gold reward, the second best student will receive 80 gold, and the third best student will receive 60 gold.
The second list is for first-year to third-year students, which is inferior to the rewards given to freshmen.
The first-placed scorer will be awarded 50 golds, the second-placed one will be awarded 40 golds, and the third-placed one will be awarded 30 golds.
The third one is for students in the 3rd to 5th academic year, and the rewards are the same as those for the 1st to 3rd year students.
The last list is for students who have been in fifth grade and above. The rewards are still the same as above.
