"Dear grandpa, I am doing well here at school, and I have successfully found a suitable part-time job and am able to take care of myself."

Please don’t send me living expenses in the future. Too much work is not good for your health. You should leave it to yourself and enjoy your old age.

These are the wages I earned. I hope you can use them to improve your life and decorate our cabin. When I return from my studies, I will take good care of you and make you happy.

—Your grandson, Randy. 』

When I found the post station where the letter was sent, I handed a stuffed envelope to the staff.

"Here, this is your tip, but don't touch the contents secretly!"

"Hey, don't worry, sir, our Pigeon Xintong is spread throughout the entire empire. No matter which territory we are in, our reputation is the first. We will never cause damage to the property you mail!"

In addition to the postage cost, I gave the staff a silver coin as a tip to prevent him from stealing the contents.

I only kept five gold coins from the money I earned from selling the scrolls, and mailed the rest to Grandpa Rodney.

He will be proud of me when he sees the bag full of gold coins.

As far as the reputation of Gexintong is concerned, I have not heard any negative comments so far.

I feel relieved and hope that Grandpa Rodney will receive it perfectly.

I returned to the newly built school and stayed there for a few days.

The long-prepared competition finally began, and the four magic schools gathered together to communicate in the activity square in the center of Humda City.

It didn't snow today, but it was still cold.

Wearing a heavy cotton-padded jacket, I followed Kekeya’s team.

As I walked down the street, I noticed people on both sides of the street looking at us.

Because of the Adventurer's Guild, magicians often appear in the target list for undertaking tasks.

Frequent dealings with funders and villagers who entrust tasks.

Everyone will bicker and fight for a Bello, and since they are human beings, they eat, drink and have sex.

During fortune-telling, civilians can even punch and kick adventurers such as magicians.

So in general, the magician is not too noble, or seems approachable.

Noble ones are those who possess aristocratic status.

However, most ordinary people are still in awe of magicians, but they don't kneel and lick them like they do nobles.

In order to prevent someone from causing trouble or civilians being accidentally injured, the entire event square with a radius of several hundred meters was reserved by the organizer.

Ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

After entering, I discovered that Kekoya was the last to arrive.

Except for a small empty area in the corner, all the seats around the square were filled with people.

"What a rubbish school they have. They don't even have decent uniforms."

"It looks so rustic."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really embarrassing."

Discussions from other magic schools and students quickly came around.

They seemed to be mocking us for not having neat school uniforms.

We all dress very ordinary here, which is in sharp contrast to the elegant and luxurious image of other schools.

"Hiss, there are actually demi-humans?"

"Those two demi-humans are so poor that they can't even afford clothes. They must be slaves, right?"

"It doesn't look like it. There's a sword on each back."

Sasni and Dainina in front became the focus, and I found that many people from other magic schools were looking at them.

Even some of the teachers seemed to have never seen demihumans participating in human competitions before.

When we came to the empty seat in the corner, not long after we sat down, Principal Bick asked everyone to move around. The competition would not start for a few hours.

Not long after I came to the street outside the square, I found that this place was within the scope of activities. Except for magicians, I couldn't see any ordinary people.

"Come, come, take a look, take a look, there are fun activities here. If you participate in the activities, you will have a chance to get a silver coin for free!"

"real or fake?"

"How to play this activity?"

An empty space on the corner of the street caught my attention.

When I walked over, I found that it was immediately crowded with people.

I saw two students from Kekeya's side in front of me.

A young man put a silver coin into a celadon vial in front of everyone.

Then hang a red balloon and let it float into the air.

There are also vials hanging by balloons around, floating close to each other.

Another young man began to explain the rules of the game.

"Ahem, everyone only needs to pay one copper coin to get ten chances to break the bottle.

After you find the bottle with the silver coins, you can take it. "

It turns out to be a shooting game. You only need to spend one copper coin to get a chance to get a hundred copper coins, which is one silver coin.

Sounds very tempting.

Soon, many students began to rush up to pay.

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone come one by one and line up!"

I didn't participate in this silly little stunt.

I secretly observed with my elf eyes that there were no silver coins in those floating bottles at all.

Those two guys must have used some kind of deception to make everyone mistakenly think that there were silver coins inside.

Sure enough, none of the people queuing up in front could find the silver coins hidden inside.

Some were so discouraged that they simply paid a few more copper coins, but still to no avail.

In their opinion, as long as the money spent does not exceed one hundred copper coins, they will make a profit by hitting the bottle containing silver coins. However, they do not know that they have been deceived.

The reason why people are cheated is because they want to get something for nothing and get benefits for free.

Or they are just whimsical and want to exchange for expensive things at varying prices.

Just as the two people were busy counting money and laughing from ear to ear, a cold voice came.

"Get out of my way, let me give it a try."

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man with a wild face and long purple hair walking into the crowd and coming to the two people.

The people next to me consciously moved out of the way for the purple-haired young man. I remember his name, Tuoji.

Tuoji directly threw a silver coin to the two young men.

I noticed that the two young men's eyes gleamed when they saw the silver coins, and they looked sarcastically at Tuoji, as if they were looking at fools again.

I have a vague feeling about it.

The next second, Tuoji took out the black wand in his arms and quickly chanted a spell while swinging it.

Countless rays of purple current popped out of the wand, just like Vegeta's prince hitting waves, dealing area damage, and all the floating bottles in front of him shattered.

The two young men were stunned on the spot, as if they had never expected this result.

Feeling guilty, they turned around and wanted to walk, but were caught by Tuoji.

The people who had participated in the event immediately realized that they had been deceived by these two people, so they surrounded them with anger on their faces.

"Brother, I was wrong. We never dare to do it again."

"We will return the money to you right now!"

Alas, these two young men are so cowardly, they immediately took the initiative to bring things out, showing fear on their faces.

Tuoji slapped them twice with his backhand, knocking the two of them to the ground.

"If an apology is useful, why do you need the law?" Tuoji said coldly.

The people around them were all furious, and they were about to step forward and beat the two of them severely.

At this time, I saw Xikali hurriedly get into the crowd, came over and stopped her: "Stop, what are you going to do, beat them in a group?"

"I just want to beat them up in groups, and if I don't teach them a lesson, they won't know how to repent."

"Yes, let them learn a lesson."

"Liars are the most hateful."

Tuoji said angrily: "Hikari, get out of the way, this is none of your business."

Xikali said seriously: "Have you forgotten the rules? There are leaders inspecting the area. If they see it, it will damage the reputation of the school. It is not good for you and me."

As soon as these words came out, the people around him immediately calmed down and took a step back in tacit agreement.

Tuoji said disdainfully: "So what if they saw it, they brought it upon themselves."

"I don't care. People like you don't care about the overall situation. You are the most annoying!"

"Hikari, you..."

Tuoji's face was livid, and I saw his eyes rolling, as if he suddenly thought of something.

He came to the two young men who were frightened to the ground and took out three small balls from their arms.

In front of everyone, he opened the lid of the balls, stuffed a gold coin into one of the balls, and shook it.

"I'll throw these three balls into the air later. As long as either of you hits the ball with the gold coins, I'll let you go. How about that?"

The two young men looked at each other and nodded decisively.

Then, they stood up, took out their wands, and used magic to attack the ball thrown by Tuoji.

But the result is that even though they all shot at the same time and had a two-thirds chance of success, none of them successfully hit the small ball that actually contained gold coins.

They reprimanded loudly, suspecting that Tuoji used the same method as before, and there were no gold coins in the ball at all.

Tuoji smiled disdainfully and directly picked up the small ball that was not hit on the ground. When he opened it, he saw a bright gold coin inside.

The two young men were dumbfounded and stayed where they were.

Hikari sighed helplessly and stepped aside silently, looking helpless.

Just when everyone was about to take action, I put on my sunglasses, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Can you let me try?"
