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

Ruan Xiaozhe frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable with his nose.

At this moment, the studio was filled with dark blue smoke, making it almost impossible to see the direction.

Professor Mortum's voice came again from the smoke: "Diret, bring the freshmen in."

"Professor, have you forgotten that the principal said that seniors cannot come into contact with first-year students?"

"Ah, yes, ahem, this is a bit troublesome... Can you ignore it secretly?"

"I just came out of the punishment room. Do you want me to go back in?" The voice sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

"That shouldn't be called a punishment room, it's just a confinement room... Ahem, okay, I get it, you can go back."

Then Professor Mortum waved his wand and the smoke instantly dissipated.

When the scene inside the house was revealed, Ruan Xiaozhe found that it was even tidier than he had imagined!

Maybe it was specially arranged to attract new students? But...

With all the tables, chairs and bookshelves around, it looks more like a library than a studio?!

"…Wait, all bones?"

Ruan Xiaozhe suddenly reacted and was shocked to find that all the furniture was made of bones!

For a black magician who is good at manipulating bones, using bones to make furniture is indeed economical, although it is a bit weird...

But Gennando didn't seem to notice the bones much, and just sat trembling in his chair.

Professor Mortum tried to put on a kind expression and said, "Ahem, you should know why I asked you to come, right?"

"I did nothing wrong, Professor!" Gennando said in a very low voice out of fear.

"It's because you two have outstanding talent in black magic among the students. Wait, what did you say just now?" Mortum said and looked at Ganando.

"nothing."

Ganando shut his mouth wisely, the situation at this moment seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

"I'm actually talented in the dark arts?"

"Ruan Xiaozhe, he said I have a talent for dark magic."

"I have ears, so I can naturally hear it standing next to you." Ruan Xiaozhe nodded.

"Ah...what should I do? I have no interest in the dark arts, but I have a talent for it? Ah...what should I do?"

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe could only sigh at Ganando's naivety.

Professor Moltum rubbed his hands and took out a few candies from somewhere. There were skull patterns on the packaging.

"Eat some candy while you listen to me."

"Since you are gifted in the dark arts, I feel it is important for you to learn about the beauty of the dark arts."

"Although black magic has caused many people to have misunderstandings, those are irrelevant. Ahem, black magic is the most beautiful and profound magic."

"..."

Ganando was half-believing and half-doubting, while Ruan Xiaozhe listened with a little sympathy.

He had heard this kind of thing many times before.

Be aware that professors in popular fields are often arrogant.

——"You want to learn from me? Let me see your talent first."

But as long as there are popular fields, there will be unpopular fields to oppose them.

Professors in unpopular fields seem a bit pitiful.

——“The advantage of our discipline is that…there is no room for further decline.”

——"..."

——"So, the future can only go up, how wonderful is that."

——"..."

At this moment, Professor Mortum's words revealed the helplessness of the unpopular professor.

He was not good at attracting students and even took out candy, which was really sad...

"So, black magic is the magic among magics, the king of magic, do you understand?" asked Professor Mortum.

"Hearing what you said, I seem to have become interested in the dark arts!"

"I didn't expect black magic to be so great!"

Genando and Ruan Xiaozhe's answers brought a bright smile to Professor Mortum's face.

……

"Do you want to learn the dark arts? I have such a high talent? But the dark arts have a bad reputation. However, if there is a real need... well, I still..."

Ganando talked to himself excitedly, while Ruan Xiaozhe was studying the gift that Professor Mortum had just given him.

When saying goodbye to Professor Mortum, the former gave each of the two students who answered positively a carefully wrapped gift - an unknown bone.

--"What's this?"

——"When you return to the dormitory, just look at this bone and you will remember some things about the black magic..."

"Uh-huh, so, what the hell is this thing?"

——“Hehe, cough cough…”

Professor Moltum rubbed his nose shyly, as if he didn't want to deprive his students of the pleasure of discovering secrets...

For Ruan Xiaozhe, this gift was really creepy.

"What kind of bone is this?"

"Is there any magic hidden in it?"

Ruan Xiaozhe's first guess was that this was a simple magic prop.

He had been deceived by the book given by the principal.

Maybe in this magic academy, it is popular for professors to give students some magic props without explanation, just like giving sweet gifts on Valentine's Day...

"Even though I came up with that myself, it's a terrible metaphor."

Ruan Xiaozhe decided to study the bone after returning.

"Ruan Xiaozhe, Ruan Xiaozhe."

"Ok?"

"If I start learning the Dark Arts, don't tell Megan."

Ruan Xiaozhe immediately understood what Ganando was thinking.

Gennando had laughed at Yunel for learning alchemy, and if he himself had learned the dark arts, he would have been laughed at even more severely.

Ruan Xiaozhe smiled and replied, "Of course, good brother."

However, what he was thinking in his heart was - "I will tell her as soon as I get back."

……

Professor Ingeld, the elven swordsman, teaches basic swordsmanship and basic physical training.

These courses are mainly chosen by students of Baihu Tower.

In this course, as the only student in Qinglong Tower, Ruan Xiaozhe stands out.

However, the atmosphere of this class is somewhat different from the last time.

In the last class, everyone was eager to make trouble for him; this time, no one was willing to look him in the eye.

They all have a consensus - if you offend him, you’re doomed!

"It was so relaxing." Ruan Xiaozhe felt that the last outburst was indeed worth it, even though it resulted in many students who were beaten by Baihu being locked up in the punishment room.

But sometimes, people really need to explode, and then life will become less difficult.

Of course, this outburst does not make the course any less difficult.

"Everyone, keep running! Don't stop! Although it is important to use all the muscles in your body, don't forget to use your breathing to feel the magic power. If you can let the magic power circulate in your body, the efficiency of your muscles will be greatly improved."

A magician uses magic power to cast spells, while a swordsman uses magic power for himself.

The magic energy that keeps flowing in the body prevents fatigue and protects against external toxins.

...Of course, that's talk, but there's very little that the freshmen can do.

At this time they were just gasping for breath and running desperately.

"Professor, I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

Professor Ingold responded to Ruan Xiaozhe happily, wanting to see what he would ask.

"I plan to go into the mountains to look for alchemical materials during this period. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Well, it's better not to go."

"..."

"Really, it's best not to go."

Professor Ingold's serious advice made Ruan Xiaozhe feel uneasy.
