Tomonori, who had gotten absorbed in the book, finally replies to the greeting someone lobbed in his direction. The guy- he probably already said his name, and now Tomonori will need to ask when it's not awkward. He can never tell when that is.

"Ni hao," he says, even though greetings are the worst because they're empty gestures. It's not even nice, it's just a waste of everyone's time. Where does he even know him from- he's having trouble placing the face, which means it's probably one of the people from the supply run. Or breakfast on Friday? Or one of his classes.

"I have a spell that tells you when something has gone bad, or what an enchanted object is enchanted for, and one to detect poisons."

"Ooh, I might want that first one."

"Ooooh, same." Alexius is not great at keeping his tools from trying to eat him. He should work on that, and also get a spell to check. Hopefully it will be cheap enough he can use it even with his affinity jacking up the price. "I wonder if reflexes or sharper perception would be in-affinity for you?"

"Perception might be! How does it work?"

Tomonori starts writing out the identification spell.

"What would you would use it for?"

"Makes it slightly easier to make out visual details, more or less. Good for spotting mals pretending to be things, especially if you've seen 'em before. On the order of ten percent, maybe, but a ten percent better chance of spotting a mimic goes a long way. It's in Sanskrit, though, that might be a hangup." 

蘇格蘭哲學家和經濟學家亞當·斯密在1776年將政治經濟學定義為「國民財富的性質和原因的研究」，他說：

經濟政治學是一門政治家或立法者的學問，研究如何同時提供人民基本的物質所需和充足的利潤、同時對地方或國家的公家部門提供足夠的經費。

Sigh. She can read it, mostly, but she's really hoping that this class is light on the essay writing.

Tomonori is excited to learn about economics!

Probably also they will learn useful spells but he's mostly interested in the economics.
