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

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

You know, Professor Ingold wears prosthetic limbs. Although Ruan Xiaozhe knew that he was unlikely to like walking in the steep mountains, he could only nod in agreement.

To be honest, Professor Ingold's persistence made Ruan Xiaozhe deeply worried about the possible dangers in the mountains.

……

In the evening, Ruan Xiaozhe walked towards Professor Lei Bu’s cabin.

Even though various things happened today, the chores assigned by the professor did not take into account such situations.

Of course, from Professor Lei Bu's point of view, he was a little wronged.

He never asked Ruan Xiaozhe to come every day. If he was busy, he didn't have to come...

In fact, Ruan Xiaozhe also has his own plans.

"I must collect as much intelligence as possible this time." Ruan Xiaozhe thought to himself.

"Huh? Why is there no one here today?" Ruan Xiaozhe looked at the empty wooden house, somewhat confused.

At this moment, a piece of paper on the table automatically floated into his hand.

"I have to go out for a while, please take whatever you want! But don't take too much! - Lei Bu"

"Oh...it turns out the professor is not here." Seeing the words on the note, Ruan Xiaozhe said to himself in surprise.

Come to think of it, Professor Lei Bu is also a human being. He can't always stay in the cabin. After all, he still has to teach other students and take care of his own affairs.

Ruan Xiaozhe nodded, then immediately tore up the note.

Then he immediately returned to the tower and called Yunel.

"You just said... that you wanted me to find something useful in this cabin?" Yunel opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Well, I wonder if the potion from last time is here." Ruan Xiaozhe nodded.

The potion that was stolen from the carriage by the professional thief Ratford - although Ruan Xiaozhe really wanted to know the origin of those potions, it was difficult for a freshman like him to investigate by hand.

But as a master of alchemy, Professor Lei Bu would definitely make some potions like this on a regular basis in case of emergency.

It would be great if we could find a potion like that in Professor Lei Bu's cabin.

And a student like Yunel who is proficient in alchemy can naturally see the value of those potions.

"But wait, isn't this Professor Lei Bu's cabin?"

Yunel recognized the place immediately because he had barbecued meat here last time.

"But... maybe it's okay." After hesitating for a moment, Yunel decided to turn a blind eye.

Anyway, in this crazy school, this kind of thing is nothing.

"Hey, what is that?"

"What? Oh, that's the small vegetable garden that Professor Lei Bu gave me to grow vegetables."

Yunel, who was walking in front, asked in surprise, and Ruan Xiaozhe answered disapprovingly.

"It's still growing, and it hasn't fully grown yet. I guess we'll have to wait a few more months."

"...Ah? But it looks mature now, right?"

"what?"

This time it was Ruan Xiaozhe's turn to be confused. He looked back in confusion.

"...!!"

Yunel was right, he has indeed matured!

"Impossible, what's going on?" Looking at the ripe vegetables, Ruan Xiaozhe was stunned.

No matter how I think about it, it seems to be growing too fast!

"Did Professor Lei Bu sprinkle some potion? He's so impatient."

Ruan Xiaozhe's explanation made Yunel nod.

It is not surprising that growth-enhancing potions are used in order to harvest early.

"What a greedy guy."

So, Professor Lei Bu was innocently blamed.

"In that case, let's harvest. Yunel, let's split up. Can you go to the cabin to find the potion by yourself?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

So, Ruan Xiaozhe picked up the farm tools and began to harvest the vegetables skillfully.

His precise movements left Yunel stunned for a moment.

That is a perfect move that only a farmer who has worked for decades can do!

Yunel finally began to understand why Professor Lei Bu liked Ruan Xiaozhe.

"What are you doing standing still?"

"Ah, nothing. I'll go to the cabin now."

Soon the basket was filled with vegetables, and Yunel was busy ransacking the hut.

I do not know how long it has been.

Ruan Xiaozhe's arms were filled with crops, while Yunel's hands were filled with various potions and alchemical tools.

"Have you finished taking them all?"

"Yeah!" Yunel nodded excitedly.

"Let's go then!"

Then, the two students from the Qinglong Tower turned their backs to the hut and ran out as hard as they could.

Only a newly pasted note fluttered on the door of the cabin.

"Thank you, Professor. We have harvested some crops. Please have a taste. - Ruan Xiaozhe Vodanazi."

……

The next morning.

Ruan Xiaozhe and Yunail greeted the morning light with dark circles under their eyes.

They had spent the entire night yesterday conducting alchemy experiments in the freshman lounge.

"So this is the Cantus potion?"

"Um……"

After a night of hard work, they came to the following conclusions:

＜Imperial West Wine – Delicious＞.

<Cantus Potion: Drinking it will allow you to sing beautifully for a short period of time>.

That's it.

"..."

Seeing Yunel's frustrated expression, Ruan Xiaozhe quickly comforted him:

"This is already pretty good. It's impossible to understand everything on the first try."

"That's what I said, but what good is this singing potion?"

"It will definitely be useful."

creak-

At this time, Asan Dharkad walked into the lounge.

As soon as he saw the two of them, Asan seemed very happy.

"Vodanaz, are you ready to go into the mountains today?"

"Probably ready." Ruan Xiaozhe nodded.

At this time, Ruan Xiaozhe already had a plan:

I left on Friday with other students, tried to get back on Saturday, and on Sunday...

"Use your exit pass to leave the academy."

Ruan Xiaozhe tried hard to calm himself down. It was better not to have too high expectations. If you plan too much, accidents are bound to happen.

After all, who knows what traps there may be in the mountains before setting off?

"By the way, Vodanaz, do you want to check out the black market before you go into the mountains?"

"...What black market?" Ruan Xiaozhe was confused by Asan's words.

"black market?"

"There's a black market in this school?"

Yunel also opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise.

Asan was born in the Dalkard family and never said anything that was not true. But even so, Ruan Xiaozhe still didn't quite believe what Asan said...

...But the fact is, it really exists!

……

"It's really speechless." Ruan Xiaozhe shook his head.

A group of people came to the so-called black market.

To be precise, it is not a black market, but a small market.

The new students of the Black Turtle Tower set up a small market near their tower!

At first, everyone here just bartered and took what they needed, but after a while they found that this was very convenient, so they held it regularly.

Ruan Xiaozhe was speechless.

"What on earth does this school want to teach its students?"

"Come on, guess where the Emperor is! If you find the Emperor among the three cards, you will win double the bread... Oh, Lord Vodanaz."

Ratford, who was playing a trick, stood up as soon as he saw Ruan Xiaozhe.

The students who were chatting around also turned to look at Ruan Xiaozhe, making Ruan Xiaozhe want to just turn around and leave.
