In Need of Money (3)

Anna hurriedly went downstairs, just in time to see a man raising his hand to hit Givina, while she shrank back. Her arms were all bruised.

"Stop it." Anna said.

Seeing that there was someone sticking their nose in other’s business, the tall man said fiercely: "This is our family affair, it has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business, or else I'll beat you, too!"

Anna said slowly: "Why has it nothing to do with me? I live here."

As she spoke, she slowly took out her disciple badge and pinned it to her chest. She looked at Givina and smiled: "Givina, I just wanted to tell you, I'm already a mage, what problem do you have with them? You can tell me."

Givina’s eyes lit up when she saw the badge that Anna took out. She took a peek at the man, who shrank his hand because of Anna's mage badge. He even took a step back.

Although there were many mages in Black Cloud City, they were still rare among the entire population of Black Cloud City. It was difficult for ordinary civilians to say a word to a mage. When the man saw the badge representing the mages in Anna's hand, he became a bit cowardly.

Nobles and mages should never be provoked, especially mages. Even the mage’s disciple would become nobles in the future. They couldn’t provoke nobles, and they couldn’t provoke mages!

Givina said hesitantly: "We just had a little argument, it's all right now."

Before Anna could ask, the man quickly said, "Yes, it was just a little dispute. I'm sorry to disturb Master Mage, we’ll leave right now!"

Seeing that Anna didn't intend to stop them, the man hurried away with his people.

Givina waited for them all to leave before she leaned against the wall and said, "Thank you very much, Mage Anna!"

"Who are they?" Anna asked.

"The leader is my brother's son, because my husband and son are gone, he wants to rob my house." Givina wiped away tears, "If Gore and I are driven out, how will we live!"

"Don't worry, they dare not come again with me here." Anna soothed.

"Thank you very much, Mage Anna!" Givina thanked her again and again.

"If you really want to thank me, why not invite me to dinner, I like your cooking very much." Anna smiled.

Givina also smiled: "Of course, it's my honor that you like my cooking skills."

Anna knew that Givina agreed to rent her attic at first because of her "little flame". It turned out to be because she had troubles at home and wanted to put someone powerful in her house. No wonder the rent collected was somewhat cheap.

But Anna didn't feel like she was calculated; everyone got what they needed, and the mutual benefit was not bad.

Early the next morning, Anna changed into her big red riding outfit and went to the Mage Association. She didn't have any other good clothes to wear. The skirt was washed again, and she was reluctant to buy a new one, so she had to make do with it.

Teresa saw Anna, handed over a piece of paper, smiled and said: "Mage Anna, there is a memo for you."

Anna thanked her and glanced at her introduction course schedule. It was for nine o'clock in the morning in the meditation room No. 1 and was taught by a two-star mage named Leon Freeman.

There was a clock in the office of the Mage Association. It was only 8:20AM. Anna was not worried about being late. There was no one else at the service desk, so she just stood there chatting with Teresa.

"Teresa, you know that I am new here, and I don't know anything. What kind of person is this Mage Leon Freeman? I mean, will he be strict in class?" Anna asked.

Teresa chuckled, and quickly held back a smile and said: "Don't worry, Master Leon Freeman is not a mean man, he just takes everything seriously. He has a wealth of teaching experience. You can learn a lot by taking his class."

Anna nodded, she was afraid that this serious mage would be taken over by the demon.…..The fear of being put with the demon teacher, she still didn’t know when it would be over.

She asked curiously: "How do the teachers for the introductory course choose? Do they sign up voluntarily?"

"Yes, the association will provide subsidies to teachers who take the initiative to teach the introductory course."

"How much is the subsidy?" Anna asked casually.

This was not a secret that cannot be said, so Teresa replied: "Five gold coins per person."

Anna's expression was confused: "Does that mean that no matter how many mage’s disciples are taught, only five gold coins will be subsidized, or a subsidy will be given for teaching each one?"

"It's the latter. The Mage Association is very grateful to the members of the association for their contributions to the association, and knows that these few gold coins cannot buy the members' kindness to sacrifice for the growth of the association. The Association can only compensate as much as possible. " Teresa said.

Anna felt that she was distorted because of jealousy, and she quickly asked: "Then what are the requirements for contributing to the association?"

Teresa smiled and said: "A one-star or more mage who has been in the association for more than eight years."

Anna's hope was suddenly pierced like a bubble.

Being a mage meant spending money like water, but it was also easy to make money, provided that she wasn’t just a mage’s disciple. But if she wanted to be promoted, she had to spend a lot of money; this was really a hopeless cycle.

"Is there a subsidy for teachers who pay for courses?" Since she had started it, might as well ask until everything was clear.

"There is no subsidy, but there are course fees. The standard fee is a gold coin, but if you want to appoint a mage and the other party is willing to teach, there will be a higher price, and the teacher will determine the price." Teresa said, "With teachers helping in the learning process, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes." Anna said with emotion, but unfortunately she was poor and couldn’t afford to ke jin*.

[T/N: ke jin is a gamer term used to refer to those who get high ranks in games by spending a lot of money]

Fortunately, there were so many books in the library. Her self-learning ability was not weak, so thinking it over, it was not a big problem.
