First, secure his own life.
"Alright, next are the elective courses," Rokoeff said, "You can choose one from the following list."
Durin browsed the list, which included a long string of cultural courses, or history, humanities, geography courses, and so on, as well as alchemy and inscription courses.
He thought for a moment; he had studied potion-making in alchemy with Kreslin, and he happened to need to make a Composite Recovery Potion.
As for the inscription course, Durin didn't plan to study it, as too much ambition can lead to a lack of mastery.
"Alchemy!" Durin said.
"Alright, this is the university's timetable; there will be open classes in different classrooms every day.
You attend classes according to your chosen elective and language courses.
And this is the timetable for the Fire Attribute school, which are mandatory courses for you."
Rokoeff nodded, pulled two different timetables from a nearby drawer, and then pointed to a stack of textbooks piled up beside them.
Those textbooks stacked up reached an adult's waist, and each book's packaging was different, looking like different courses had varying numbers of textbooks, from one to multiple.
No wonder Durin had seen those Mage Apprentice freshmen, just like him, leaving with sacks on their shoulders when he was in line.
Goodness, so many?!
At least dozens, right?
Seeing this scene, Durin couldn't help but recall a very amusing image he had seen before his transmigration: how high the stack of books medical students had to memorize each semester was.
Tomorrow's first class was Magic Runes, a crucial course that would determine whether Durin could advance to become a Mage.
Of course, this course also had a friendly nickname: "Money-Burning Course."
Because familiarizing oneself with the most basic and lowest-grade magic runes requires manual outlining, both the substrate and the magic potions are consumables. This process represents a huge financial drain.
It seems the coursework is very heavy.
Durin could only silently take the sack from the volunteer, then put the books in one by one, tie a knot with a rope, and then carry it directly on his shoulder in one go.
Next, Durin, led by the volunteer, went to the cafeteria to have lunch before returning home.
Tomorrow is the first day of formal classes. On the way, Durin saw two or three dozen tables set up on both sides of the road by clubs recruiting new members. It was like a small market, with various clubs for sports, painting, music, chess, sculpture, handicrafts, firearms shooting, and even the student council recruiting.
Even next to the cafeteria, there were notice boards with vivid advertisements for various clubs recruiting new members, and some part-time positions on campus were also taking the opportunity to recruit.
"Firearms caliber is truth! The Piltover Firearms Shooting Club welcomes your joining!"
"Sketching Club, only the art of light and shadow can reveal the agility of the world."
"Mutual Aid Reading Club! More comprehensive and faster newspapers from all over the world than the library's periodical room!"
"…"
"Recruiting cafeteria helpers, working hours are from 11 AM to 1 PM, or 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. High cost-performance, price negotiable."
"The campus library is recruiting daily-paid administrators, working eight hours, 24 copper circle coins or 4 credits per day."
"The department store is recruiting daily-paid cashiers, working four hours, settling for 2 credits or 12 copper circle coins. Students with a lot of free time are welcome to contact."
"…"
Durin walked towards the cafeteria under the guidance of the volunteer, while browsing the banners and club signs of different sizes fluttering on both sides of the road.
"You can choose one or two clubs you are interested in joining. You only need to pay some registration fees, and then pay a fixed monthly club fee. Of course, some individual clubs require an interview screening."
The volunteer concisely added, "Many clubs don't hold many activities in a semester, but they can provide you with 5 credits per month. Registration fees range from a few copper circle coins to 1 silver lun coins. This fee is generally collected after passing the assessment."
"What are these credits?" Durin asked curiously.
The volunteer explained: "Many laboratories within the school are open to students, but the credits consumed will be calculated based on the laboratory's usage time. This does not include the cost of the equipment inside. Of course, if you want to learn a brand new course, you can also get a discount through credits. Library book borrowing on campus is also deducted based on credits, and the campus living facilities are also fully equipped, from small milk tea shops to large cinemas and bowling alleys, everything will be available. In short, as long as you have a need, credits can help you achieve it."
