CH 43.2

The Good Teacher Leon (2)

Seeing that she still had some time before her meet up with Natalie, Anna went around the entire association first using the map in the manual. Conveniently, just like a blind cat runs into a dead mouse, she wanted to see if she could run into the demon.

The area occupied by the association was not small, and there was not much time left after she had completed a circle, so she had to temporarily give up looking for the demon and instead went to the association canteen that she had passed by before.

Natalie came earlier than Anna, and when Anna arrived, she saw Natalie waving at her. Her whole body seemed to be full of enthusiasm.

When Anna came closer, Natalie asked casually curiously: “Anna, why didn’t you wear the mage robe? But your outfit looks really pretty.”

This question struck Anna where it hurt. She replied sadly: “Can’t afford it.”

“Ah? So-…sorry!” Natalie flushed and hurriedly apologized. How did she forget that Anna was just a civilian; on top of that, a civilian who fled from her hometown. Why did she ask her this kind of question!

“I’m just telling the truth, you don’t have to apologize.” Anna said, “I just saved around five gold coins, enough to test for any elemental affinity and came to the Mage Association. The mage robe is temporarily useless for me, anyway, and I happened to be unable to afford it, so I didn’t purchase it yet. But speaking of money, I do have something to ask you.”

Upon hearing this, Natalie immediately took out the money bag, and quickly said, “How much do you want to borrow? I have fifteen gold coins in total. If it is not enough, I can give you another twenty tomorrow.”

Seeing Natalie’s bag full of gold coins, Anna felt even more pain. Why couldn’t she transmigrate into a nobleman in the first place? This way, she would not only have no chance to be targeted by the demon, but she could also spend as much as she wanted. She could buy as many hollow crystals as she wanted; as for wands, she would buy two: one for actual use and one for decoration.

Anna held Natalie’s hand and pushed it back. She smiled: “I will certainly not be courteous when I need it. But what I want to ask now is something else. I want to know, is there a suitable way to make money as a mage’s disciple? It doesn’t matter whether it’s a little bit laborious or a little bit dangerous.”

Seeing Anna’s refusal, Natalie regretfully took back the money bag and thought about it before saying: “I heard that some senior mages do not want to go out by themselves. They will post tasks and let people harvest some specific plants and demonic beasts that can only be found near the line of life and death, which are used in the potions. The association also needs someone to harvest plants and hunt demonic creatures regularly to be used in free potions in the potion room.”

She stuck her tongue out, and said embarrassingly: “But because I am so weak, I never thought about going.”

Anna thought to herself, it was not only because of poor strength, but also because her family did not lack that bit of money.

“Where are these tasks posted?” Anna asked.

“In the affairs hall, there is a wall over there, and both the tasks of the association and the tasks of the senior mage are posted on it. That is the task board, and there is a notification board on the side, which is related to the entire association. But usually if there is something important, the receptionist will say something specially, so we won’t miss anything even if we don’t look at it.”

Anna remembered that she did see a wall with paper in the affairs hall, but because every time she passed the affairs hall, no one was there to look at it, so she thought it was the “spiritual civilization construction” of this association, and would be filled with uninteresting content.

Knowing that there was such a method, Anna planned to go over later. The line of life and death was still a bit dangerous, and she felt that at her current level, she wasn’t ready.

But she didn’t want to miss this opportunity. The “subsidies” given by the association were so generous, and she also wanted to make money from the association!

“Come on, let’s talk while we eat.” Anna pulled Natalie as they walked into the cafeteria.

It turned out that Anna, who walked around various areas of the association wearing only a badge but not a mage robe seemed out of place; but in the cafeteria, Natalie, who wore a mage robe, was the eye-catching one.

But Natalie herself didn’t seem to care at all. She was a little expectant and excited and said: “Anna, if you plan to take on those tasks in the future, can you also bring me? I will help you, but I don’t want any of the rewards. I’ve never participated in something like that, I really want to try it!”

“That depends on the results of your special training.” Anna said, “Especially the actual combat results. If they are too bad, how could I dare take you there? Would it be to give desserts to the demonic creatures?”

Natalie, who was underestimated just now, muttered angrily, “Obviously you are just a mage’s disciple, too!”

Anna was so gracious in pretending she didn’t hear. She asked for a recommended set meal, and turned around and said to Natalie: “What do you want to eat?”

Natalie took a look around, then glanced at the meal set that Anna had already held in her hand. She pointed at it and said, “I want this, too!”
