I really just want to hang out in the magic world.

"Hahaha, screw the civil service exam!"

"Just keep rolling. I can't play with you anymore!"

……

Ruan Xiaozhe passed away in a sudden accident, but accidentally traveled to this magical world.

Here, he became a descendant of the prestigious magic family, the Vodanazi family.

Fifteen years passed in a flash, and today will be the day when Ruan Xiaozhe steps into the most prestigious magic academy in the empire - Ainlogard.

When Ruan Xiaozhe was just reborn into the Vodanaz family, he was worried that he would be killed instantly by others when he went out because he didn't know magic.

But as time went on, he found that magic was not as difficult as he had imagined.

And during these 15 years, Ruan Xiaozhe developed a strong interest in this world full of magic and fantasy.

Fortunately, the Vodanazi family is extremely powerful in the empire, and its wealth and status are unmatched.

Ruan Xiaozhe's father, the head of the Vodanaz family, has close ties with the emperor of the empire.

The entire family's mansion is magnificent, demonstrating their glory and wealth.

Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but think in his heart:

"Hehe, God has eyes, is this the reward for my hard work in studying in my previous life?"

He had planned to live out his life like this, lying down comfortably until he died.

However, Ruan Xiaozhe was overthinking it.

The Vodanazi family is not as simple as it seems.

Everyone has to make a life choice when they are about to become adults, and Ruan Xiaozhe is no exception.

"Ruan Xiaozhe Vodanaz."

"Yes, Dad."

"You have nothing to do every day, don't you have any plans for your future?"

"Forehead……"

Ruan Xiaozhe hesitated for a moment, and an indescribable sense of strangeness surged in his heart.

Planning? What kind of planning is needed?

Did he just say directly that his plan was to live a life of eating, drinking and having fun all his life?

"It seems that I asked an unnecessary question..."

The head of the family looked at Ruan Xiaozhe's expression, feeling sorry for him for not fighting back.

"Forehead……"

"As a member of the Vodanazi family, you can't just lie down like this all the time, right?"

"You should be able to feel your own gifts and talents, right? Ruan Xiaozhe?"

"Uh?"

Ruan Xiaozhe was stunned. He had never thought that he would have any special gifts or talents.

"First of all, you know the rules of the Vodanazi family. The eldest son inherits everything in the family."

"What???"

These words came like a bolt from the blue to Ruan Xiaozhe.

To be honest, no one has told me this before.

Inherit everything? Doesn't that mean that children below the eldest son will have nothing?

"Then, then, then...Is there nothing I can get?"

There was a hint of tremor in Ruan Xiaozhe's voice.

"Not at all."

The head of the family waved his hand and spoke in a gentle and soothing voice.

"Although you can't inherit everything from the family, the family will provide you with all possible opportunities to venture into other fields!"

"If you want to become a knight, I will invite the empire's top knights to personally instruct you."

"If you aspire to become an official, we will arrange for you to study with the chancellor of the empire."

"If you are interested in business, we will let you train in the most powerful merchant group in the empire."

"As long as you still belong to this family, as your father, I will do my best to provide you with the opportunities and resources you want!"

A complex emotion surged in Ruan Xiaozhe's heart.

"It would be better to just give the money directly, alas..."

It seems that there is no hope for him to lie down. Now Ruan Xiaozhe has to start choosing the next life and do his part for the family...

Officials, merchants, knights, adventurers...

He began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

Fortunately, the Vodana family does not simply provide money and status, but focuses more on cultivating the abilities and qualities of family members.

Children in the family can choose the direction of development they want based on their interests and talents.

Finally, after careful consideration, Ruan Xiaozhe chose the path of a magician.

"I knew you would make this choice!"

The head of the family nodded with satisfaction.

"Did you make this choice because you feel that you have talent in this area?"

"...?"

Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help smiling bitterly in his heart.

In fact, he just felt that the profession of magician was relatively stable and safe.

In this world, knights need magicians, adventurer guilds need magicians, and the royal family also needs magicians...

"Go to Einlogard. There, you will study and communicate with countless magical geniuses and become stronger."

“Those experiences will be the most valuable assets in your future life!”

The head of the family was very proud of Ruan Xiaozhe and said with a wave of his hand.

Ainlogard is one of the top magic academies in the empire, with a long history and strong strength.

For ordinary people in the empire, being able to enter this academy for further studies is undoubtedly an honor and opportunity!

Even though Ruan Xiaozhe had failed the civil service exam repeatedly in his previous life and swore never to take an exam again after traveling through time, he had no choice but to enroll in school this time.

"Okay, Dad. I'll try my best." Ruan Xiaozhe replied helplessly.

"Like my dad said, just consider it an investment in the future," he muttered to himself.

……

The old knight Alarlon saluted Ruan Xiaozhe.

"Oh, Master, don't be so polite. No one can see us here." Ruan Xiaozhe waved his hands hurriedly.

There is a deep friendship between Ruan Xiaozhe and Alaerlong that goes beyond that of master and disciple.

"Master, I never thought that you would personally escort me here."

"Is it just because I once learned swordsmanship from you?" Ruan Xiaozhe asked the respected old knight in the family.

Alarlon, the battle-hardened knight, had a firm look in his eyes, yet with a hint of tenderness.

"Lord Ruan Xiaozhe, I am not here just because you once learned swordsmanship from me."

"It is to show the dignity and prestige of the Vodanazi family and let the outside world know that no matter where we are, the children of our family are highly valued!"

"Haha, no matter what the reason is, I'm very grateful." Ruan Xiaozhe laughed.

He knew very well that beneath Alarlon's serious appearance, there was a deep concern for him.

Upon hearing this, Alarlon nodded slightly, then coughed lightly, seeming a little embarrassed.

He said frankly: "In fact, when you asked me to learn swordsmanship, I was so happy that I couldn't express it in words."

"In a magic family like Vodanaz, there are indeed not many young people willing to learn swordsmanship."

When Ruan Xiaozhe first traveled through time, he chose to learn swordsmanship, but he actually had his own plans behind it.

He didn't know anything at that time, so what else could he learn if not this?

Ruan Xiaozhe knew very well that in this world full of strong people, one more skill meant one more way to save his life.

Especially the ancient fighting skill like swordsmanship, which is perfect for self-defense for a weakling like me.

However, another reason was more straightforward - he was simply bored.

In the Vodanazi family, he was not exposed to any magical knowledge when he was young.

The elders of the family always rejected him on the grounds that "it's too dangerous for a minor to learn magic".

This made Ruan Xiaozhe feel very depressed, but he also understood that this was for his safety.

At this moment, Ruan Xiaozhe's eyes swept across the rows of carriages on the Imperial Road, his face speechless.

Those noble sons brought with them a large escort team, as if they were going to move their entire family to the academy.

Ruan Xiaozhe sighed and said, "Look at them, isn't this too exaggerated?"

Alarlon also noticed this scene. He shook his head slightly: "Perhaps this is just a competition between nobles, but it is indeed a bit too much."

Ruan Xiaozhe nodded and continued, "More importantly, they can't bring their guards, servants, and slaves into Einlogard, right?"

"That's right," Alarlon replied.

"Ainlogard is a magic school with a long history. One of its traditions is equality."

"Whether they are royals or commoners, they must enter the academy alone. Even if they bring a large number of followers, they cannot follow them in."

"In the academy, no matter what happens, you can only rely on yourself!"

"Perhaps these followers will choose to wait for these noble masters and princesses in the nearby villages." Ruan Xiaozhe speculated.

Alarlon nodded in agreement.

Alarlon looked at Ruan Xiaozhe at this time, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Master Ruan Xiaozhe, you have lived in this world for fifteen years."

"I'm a little worried. Sometimes you still find it hard to understand the nobles' way of doing things. I'm afraid that after you enter the academy..."

Ruan Xiaozhe sighed softly, he understood the implication of Alarlon's words.

Although Ruan Xiaozhe has tried his best to integrate into this world, certain traditions and etiquette among the nobles still confuse him.

"The nobles are so troublesome. They make everything so complicated. Can't they just keep it simple? Sigh..."
