**Chapter 415: Freebie Hunting**
After a long day of processes, Yuliya finally received her uniform and dorm key.
She strolled to the academy’s entrance, where she spotted Inif waiting for her.
“All set?”
Yuliya jangled her keys in front of her: “Of course, all done.”
“I knew you could handle it. Let me see…”
Inif grabbed the key and peered at the room number: “Whoa! Room 404 in Building 13! We’re roommates!”
Yuliya echoed her surprise: “What a coincidence!”
In reality, she specifically requested that room from the academy head.
Having Inif as a roommate was definitely convenient. They knew each other, which made it easy to get along.
Thanks to Saint Felis Academy’s flexibility, students could choose where they lived and attended classes.
As long as they passed their exams and met graduation standards, everything was negotiable.
Inif’s dorm had originally hosted three students, but two had graduated during the previous term, leaving her all alone.
“Let’s check out the dorm first, then I can show you around the academy. If you need anything, I can help you buy it.”
Saint Felis Academy spanned a vast area and sported several diverse environments—it was basically its own little ecosystem.
The dorm area was beautifully surrounded by a river, creating an island-like terrain.
The dorm area featured stunning architecture with hints of Elven design that caught their eyes on their first glance.
However, once they stepped inside, it was no different from a university back in Huaxia Kingdom.
The only difference? The rooms were much bigger and everyone had their own space.
They even had a kitchen!
Seeing Yuliya staring intently at the kitchen, Inif curiously asked, “Can Riya cook?”
“I… I’d say I have some skills.”
“Oh? Now I’m excited to see Riya’s culinary skills!”
“Uh… maybe not. There are restaurants in the academy.”
“Not the same! Occasionally cooking for yourself beats takeout; it’s tailored to your taste!”
“Well…” Yuliya glanced around to ascertain the place looked secure, “I’ll give it a shot later!”
Confidence regained!
After that, Inif dragged Yuliya around various spots in the academy.
In fact, there were many places even she hadn’t explored much herself.
Saint Felis Academy was gigantic, and the usual way to travel between areas was through the Teleportation Array.
Some areas were reserved for specific academies, which the other students usually avoided.
The academy featured six main departments: Magic, Martial Arts, Alchemy, Botany, History, and Theology.
Magic and Martial Arts were the combat departments, while Alchemy and Botany were more supportive. History and Theology operated on another dimension.
Magic and Martial Arts had the largest numbers of students.
But not only these two academies involved combat; the others did, too, just with a different focus on power and fighting.
In this world, fighting was the norm, and strength was the foundation of everything.
The sheer number of students in Magic and Martial Arts was because their results were most direct and evident.
For departments like Alchemy and Botany, combat power often came from external sources.
History chased ancient powers, while Theology sought traces of Divine Beings.
After Yuliya finished listening to Inif’s rundown, she clapped her hands and declared, “I want to study History!”
A complete bundle of History!
She was clearly destined for archaeology!
Inif was momentarily taken aback but quickly chuckled.
With that kind of legendary status, why not study whatever you wanted?
By the time they wrapped up their tour of the academy, the sky had turned dark.
Inif took Yuliya to the restaurant.
“The academy provides a monthly meal allowance, and since you just enrolled today, you probably haven’t claimed it yet. As your senior, let me treat you. Just put it on my tab.”
Yuliya casually asked, “How much does the allowance typically cover?”
“About twenty or thirty meals at the cafeteria.”
“Oh? That’s quite generous. Very magnanimous!”
“Of course! This is Saint Felis Academy after all; ‘grand’ is basically its brand!”
Yuliya looked at the menu, filled with specials boasting unique flavors from various races and countries.
But the prices were high.
Although Yuliya wasn’t broke, she knew money didn’t grow on trees, so if she could snag a freebie, why not?
Someone else paying was delightful!
Yuliya quickly dashed to the counter to start ordering.
Inif casually ordered a few items and watched Yuliya buzz around, her hands to her mouth in amusement.
Talk about being lively!
With her immense strength and solo traveling, she seemed under no pressure.
How nice.
Before long, Yuliya returned, plate in hand, showcasing a dessert.
“Inif, it’s time to pay.”
Inif took a quick look and shook her head: “All sweets? That’s unbalanced for dinner, you know?”
“No, this is just dessert, not dinner.”
“Is there a difference? Don’t argue!”
Yuliya firmly shook her head: “No arguing here! Dessert is dessert, and dinner is dinner!”
Inif could only let it slide.
Dessert was dessert; she’d just keep an eye out later.
She approached the front counter and pointed to Yuliya: “I’ll be covering this student’s dinner.”
“Uh, are you… sure?” the server asked, hesitating.
“Of course, I’m sure.”
“Okay then, that’ll be 132 gold coins. How will you be paying?”
“Oh, wait, how much?!”
“That’s 132 gold coins.”
“Why so much?!”
Inif glanced at Yuliya’s plate. Sure, it was a hefty serving, but still, each item was reasonably priced.
“But… that’s just dessert!”
Inif paused.
Just dessert?
Then it hit her—Yuliya had said, “Dessert is dessert, dinner is dinner.”
“Then… where’s her dinner?”
The server pointed to another row of busy cooks behind the counter.
“That student ordered items freshly made, and this whole row is basically hers.”
“…”
“You can double-check later; the price is spot on.”
“No need for checks; I’ll pay now.”
Inif had complete faith the restaurant wouldn’t mess up. In all her time here, she’d never heard of a miscalculation.
That one hundred plus gold coins was manageable for her; it wasn’t that she couldn’t spend it.
She was simply a little shocked.
One meal like that was okay, but if it happened every time… yikes!
“Inif, are you done with the payment?”
Noticing Inif return looking a bit odd, Yuliya tilted her head and asked.
“I take back what I said; our academy isn’t that extravagant. The allowance is just enough for you to come to the cafeteria once or twice.”
“Oh, that’s fine. I don’t mind at all.”
Suddenly, Yuliya remembered—she had another identity.
Using that identity in the cafeteria was the real way to snag freebies.
Saint Felis Academy was rich enough; surely they wouldn’t go bankrupt from her feasting!
