The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Jiang Liujing's thoughts were interrupted when he heard his words: "?"

He looked at the person on the ground with surprise.

Mo Ya had already gotten up from the ground and casually brushed off the dust on his body.

He had the typical blond hair and gray eyes you'd find on the mainland, and his clothes were ordinary enough that you could find dozens of the same style in any street shop. He also carried a large bag on his back, bulging with stuff.

The shock of first meeting Jiang Liujing had passed, but he was clearly not at peace. He couldn't help but ask him, "Which country are you from? You have such authentic black hair and black eyes? Were you betrothed to a princess of some royal family the moment you were born?"

Jiang Liujing: "..."

"No," he said. "Why do you ask?"

Mo Ya said as a matter of course, "You have such a rare combination of black hair and black eyes! Everyone knows that nobles love black hair and black eyes the most. But there are too few people with this color combination on the mainland now, so many people choose to dye their hair, but the dyed ones don't look as good as the real ones. You can tell at a glance that yours is real."

His face was full of surprise as if he had seen a treasure, and he walked back and forth around Jiang Liujing three times.

Chi, who was standing in the corner, couldn't help it and stepped forward to pull him away. Mo Ya then realized that there was someone behind the door and was shocked: "Brother, why didn't you say anything?"

Seeing the solid muscles on the bare arm, and recalling the immense force that had just pulled him away without any resistance, he became slightly dazed and hesitant. "You... are a magician too?"

Damn it, are all magicians now starting to practice physical training?

Chi said coldly: "No."

Jiang Liujing added: "He is from the Magic Warrior Academy, but he lives with me now."

"Oh." Mo Ya nodded, as if he understood, "You two were friends before entering the school, right? It's normal for you to want to live together."

He thanked himself again, "Luckily you are a recommended student. The beds in ordinary student dormitories can't accommodate two people."

Jiang Liujing reminded him: "You haven't told us your identity yet."

Mo Ya was so excited to see Jiang Liujing that he almost forgot about it. He rubbed his head and said, "My name is Mo Ya, Ya means the end of the world. I'm from Tuyuan."

Then he recounted to them the series of accidents he had encountered that day, with such emotion and tears in his eyes that people could almost empathize with his bad luck that day.

Jiang Liujing had never imagined that someone's recommendation letter could be snatched away, and he couldn't help but look at him with some sympathy.

After Mo Ya finished his story, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two roommates who had arrived earlier had finally let down their guard against him. He didn't want to be treated as a bad guy by his roommates on his first day.

He looked around and asked, "Where is our room?"

Jiang Liujing pointed to the second floor: "There are four rooms, one of which we have already picked out."

Mo Ya nodded, and walked upstairs with his big bag on his back, feeling a little happy: "It seems that I came early and can choose a room by myself."

He opened the door of the first room and was shocked by the luxury inside. He took a breath and closed the door again.

Jiang Liujing and Chi followed him up. Jiang Liujing looked at him and said, "Don't you want to choose this one?"

Mo Ya's head was shaking like a rattle, and he said with a sour taste in his mouth, "I can't get used to it. I can't get used to it. It's too luxurious. Common people like me can't afford it."

Noticing Jiang Liujing's surprised look, he pointed at himself and blinked, "Can't you see? I'm very poor."

He really didn't have a single expensive item on his body. His entire outfit wasn't even one percent as expensive as Jiang Liujing's clothes.

Jiang Liujing said apologetically, "I thought you dressed like this on purpose."

Those who could live here were recommended students. The dean had also told them that those recommended students were basically nobles. Nobles had greater wealth and could continuously provide resources for geniuses. The gap between them and commoners in this regard was difficult to make up.

When he saw Mo Ya dressed so simply, he thought that this was his personal style of dressing.

Mo Ya laughed heartily, unconcerned. "You never expected that, did you? I told everyone before I came here that I was probably the only one who could get a letter of recommendation even though I wasn't a noble."

He shook his head and sighed, "If a letter of recommendation hadn't exempted me from tuition, I wouldn't have bothered asking that old man to write one for me. Tuition is simply too expensive."

The basic tuition fee for ordinary students at the Imperial Magic Academy is ten gold coins per year, which is expensive for a common student and is considered as nothing by a noble student.

"I heard there are a lot of other fees to pay later. Tuition is just the basic entry fee. It will cost more than a hundred gold coins in a year." Mo Ya was filled with pain at the thought. "How can ordinary people afford to go to this school?"

Jiang Liujing coughed and said nothing.

Mo Ya glanced at him, then at Chi Dao: "You two should be nobles, right?"

Chi was still unsure, but the clothes Jiang Liujing was wearing were clearly not ordinary clothes. He could even sense the strong magical elements when he stood next to him. The fact that they had such a special effect also proved that the clothes must be a work of alchemy.

Jiang Liujing nodded and did not deny it.

"That's great," Mo Ya said enviously, "You all look like rich people."

Jiang Liujing thought that what he said meant he was going to borrow some money from them, but he saw Mo Ya suddenly clench his fists and said loudly, "When I become an outstanding graduate in the future, I will be that rich."

He came here with the goal of becoming an outstanding graduate of the Imperial Magic Academy and having the King of the Dawn Empire personally confer a noble title on him.

"Although I am poor, I am a man of integrity. Poverty is only temporary. After I go to school and can go out to take on tasks, I can earn my tuition by myself." He said to the two of them with a chuckle.
