They don't want me to work harder

As for graduation...

That's even more difficult.

To be able to enter Saint Goethe, Tom's talent is not bad. It stands to reason that graduation in four years will not be a problem.

Unfortunately, during the practical assessment of the fantasy world exploration the year before last, he was accidentally infected with gray tuberculosis.

It is a disease that will greatly affect the magic power perception and storage of professionals below the Silver level. It is said that it was first related to the curse of an ancient god. There is no 100% effective treatment method, and the patient often has to deal with it himself.

But Tom was unlucky and failed to survive. After his illness, his strength dropped from the high bronze level all the way back to the middle bronze level, and he could no longer improve.

St. Goethe's School has no strict requirements for students' graduation grade, and bronze students can also graduate.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of necessary credits that need to be obtained through practice. For Tom who has regressed in level and is not good at alchemy potions and other point-adding skills, it is difficult to reach the sky.

Therefore, in Richard's memory, although Tom could not be said to be full of confidence about graduation, at least he could be considered completely desperate.

just this kind of thing...

There is really no need to tell my mother.

Looking at the senior student's forced smile below, Richard remembered a sentence he heard in his previous life:

Don't tell your mother sad things, she won't be able to help and won't be able to sleep...

"It's fine."

After listening to Tom's words, the woman's tired face also had a smile.

She took out a small cloth bag from her arms and said: "I have saved my wages in the past five months. Although it is not much, only fifty silver coins, you can keep it first."

"Mom is old and can only take out these. You might as well buy more steaks to eat."

"Mom, I have enough money..."

"Take it first, how can I finish... You should remember to go to bed early in school and don't stay up late..."

Seeing tears forming in the corners of Tom's eyes, Richard withdrew his gaze and pulled his sister out.

Zoe was puzzled: "Huh? Where are you going?"

"Change to the balcony opposite. There are some things you shouldn't see."

The feast lasted until late into the night.

There are magic crystal lamps and hundreds of candles placed throughout the hall. The various lights illuminate the entire environment as if they are dreamlike and magnificent. The lighting consumption for this night alone is enough for those who can only afford the black smoke and smelly candles. Citizens went bankrupt.

In this day and age, staying up late is actually a right.

Just when Richard found another hiding place, and the ladies who were inexplicably ignited to fight after being asked for help, he saw Tom's mother again.

The other person seemed to be being scolded for accidentally soiling the guest's clothes.

When Li found out what was going on, he immediately declined the invitations from the two or 30-year-old women around him and approached them.

Then he discovered that it was Hamilton who was making things difficult for Tom's mother...

Ah, this must be taken care of!

"We... Have we met somewhere?"

Over there, Hamilton didn't want to say too much to the middle-aged maid in front of him. After all, fussing over clothes would make him look ungraceful.

But he had met Tom and his mother in the past few years, and they made an impression, and they felt familiar now.

Seeing that her identity might be exposed, the woman became nervous. She didn't have much knowledge, but she also knew that if word spread that her son had a mother who was a maid, she would definitely be criticized in school.

In this day and age, no one would say this is discrimination.

"Hamilton, so you are here. I thought that a hard-working person like you would be invited to dance by the Countess~"

At this moment, Richard appeared.

The countess he mentioned was one of the most outstanding courtesans at tonight's banquet, and her dance partners were all aristocratic students from other major countries.

The implication is that he was mocking Hamilton for being a dog but not being taken seriously.

Hamilton suddenly became angry, waved his hand to let Tom's mother leave, sneered, and deliberately imitated Richard's accent and said: "I also thought that people like you who hang out with the poor did not receive the invitation at all."

Unfortunately, after seeing that his goal was achieved, Richard was in a good mood, not angry at all, and didn't want to continue.

He just smiled and looked at Hamilton like a circus monkey shaking his big red butt.

Hamilton couldn't hold himself any longer.

There was a hint of sternness in his eyes.

"It's going to be the day when the school opens the illusion world. I want to see if you, a guy who got promoted by luck, can still laugh then!"

Chapter 15 The approaching conspiracy

"Exploring the fantasy world does require careful preparation."

An hour after the banquet ended, Richard finished washing and lay on the bed, thinking alone.

The so-called illusion world is essentially an independent world fragment in the void.

In the theory of imperial academic circles, it has long been confirmed that there are many other worlds outside the main world, such as the elemental world, the abyss where demons live, and even the Kingdom of God is one of them.

Through observation, people have discovered that these worlds are not static, and often overlap and collide. This process will cause some fragments of each world to fall off and drift in the void.

People call these fragments the illusion world.

Because there are often some precious creatures, magic potions or relics in the fantasy world, it has become a popular target for professionals to explore.

Generally speaking, the threshold for this kind of behavior involving cross-border travel is relatively high.

However, St. Goethe School has a deep and rich background. In order to obtain better teaching quality and show the strength of the school, it directly controlled more than a dozen fantasy worlds with different difficulties and used them as classrooms and examination rooms.

Students of each class need to choose one of the many fantasy worlds to explore on the first weekend of May. This is a required practical course with credit requirements.

Tom is stuck at this point because his strength has regressed.

Of course, as a freshman, Richard had no pressing credit gap, so he could get by by choosing a simpler fantasy world.

It’s just that exploring the fantasy world is not only a passive test, but also an opportunity to gain a lot of benefits!

Richard naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity

"In this case, I need to choose a fantasy world that matches my current true strength and make a detailed plan... I heard that students can cooperate with each other? This also needs to be considered..."

"Just in time, one month has arrived..."

crunch.

"what?"

Richard looked up and saw Katyusha opening the bathroom door.

But the girl at this moment was not wearing a maid uniform at all, only two pieces of lavender lace underwear.

Under the shroud of white steam wafting out of the bathroom, Katyusha's tight thighs and slender waist with six-pack abs were all exposed, and beads of crystal water hung on her fair and rosy skin like strawberry cake. Pearls are as charming as the fairy in the lake in mythology.

"...what are you doing?"

"Your Highness, this is my new underwear. Other maids say it is the latest style in the imperial capital. Do you like it?"

Katyusha turned in a circle,

"Ah, you just like this kind of thing, right? You don't have to show it to me..."

"But everyone says it's the maid's job to show everything to her master."

cough……

These corrupt imperial guys!

We must criticize severely in the future!

Richard scolded Katyusha for a few times, then turned away with his strong self-control, waved his hand and said: "Don't believe these words, at least not until I am 18 years old... But the clothes are indeed pretty good. of."

"As long as you like it."

"Okay, put your clothes on quickly."

Richard thought for a while and then said: "Is the school library also open to servants? You can go and read books when you have free time in the future, and don't always mix with random people."

"Are there any books in the library on how to be a good maid?"

"Well, it seems not...but you don't have to think about me everything, right? Don't you have any other interests?"

After Katyusha was silent for a few seconds, she said in her usual calm voice: "You are everything to me."

Richard was stunned.

He seemed to see a fire in the cold eyes of his maid.

"You...go to bed today and ask for leave for me tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

at the same time.

Hamilton did not return to the dormitory, but came to the club late at night to drink.

"Asshole! Just wait, while I'm exploring the fantasy world, I'll let you..."

"Hamilton, haven't you had enough of playing house yet?"

"Miss Linda? Why are you here?"

Looking at the noble lady who suddenly appeared, Hamilton stood up and saluted in a slightly embarrassed manner.

He explained: "I have done a lot, and now he is excluded from the upper class circles..."

"I would rather he go to the opera and talk about the salon, because that will only waste his energy and increase his admiration for the empire."

Linda raised her eyebrows and said, "Connaught's national power is weak, and Richard doesn't have much to offer in exchange for benefits. No matter how much he wants to make friends, he won't have a solid friendship with the nobles of our country."

"But now that he is concentrating on magic, his strength has improved rapidly. Maybe he will be able to touch the gold level in the future, and then things will be different...Hamilton, this is the problem."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Hamilton waved his hand and said: "That guy is only in the middle of bronze at the age of 16. He is average in the same class. He will only stop at silver in the future!"

"Maybe will……"
