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

"Have we come to the wrong place? This doesn't seem to be inside the school..."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yunel couldn't accept the reality for a moment, while Ruan Xiaozhe said with a wry smile:

"This is the school, this is the punishment room."

"...?!"

Although some freshmen have been there in person, most students know about the punishment room only through hearsay.

——"I heard that if you get F in three classes, you will be locked in the punishment room for the entire holiday."

——"I heard that the bottom ten students in the midterm exam will also be taken to the punishment room?"

——"There is a rumor that a senior was locked up in the punishment room because of a failed experiment."

——"Is it true that if you try to escape from school and are caught, you will be locked up in the punishment room?"

Although most rumors sound like rumors, rumors often have a grain of truth in them.

"Crack!"

"!"

Ruan Xiaozhe gripped the door handle of the single room with some nervousness, but soon found that he was worrying too much.

Surprisingly, the door of the room they were in was open.

"Although it's a punishment room, but..."

Ruan Xiaozhe realized that this punishment room was not being used now.

The corridor was covered with dust and cobwebs, and the single rooms on both sides were empty with their doors open.

"It seems that this place has been abandoned." Ruan Xiaozhe said as he looked around.

"But this is not reassuring." Yunel's voice trembled.

Compared to the punishment room where there are people, this empty place is more terrifying.

"It's better to have someone here..."

"It may be troublesome to find a way out. The structure of the punishment room is not simple." Ruan Xiaozhe touched his chin.

"How could you...ah."

Yunel seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Ruan Xiaozhe with an apologetic look, because he knew that Ruan Xiaozhe had been locked up in the punishment room.

"Actually, it's not as bad as you imagined." Ruan Xiaozhe saw what the other party was thinking and waved at her.

"The principal didn't threaten you, did he?" Yunel asked curiously.

"No."

"Really do not have?"

"Really, if the principal threatens me in the future, I will add "I swear" in front of it to show my sincerity."

"That's a good idea."

After confirming that everything was correct, they continued walking to the end of the corridor.

However, they discovered that there were no stairs.

"...???"

"???"

There was only a solid brick wall at the end…

Ruan Xiaozhe looked back in confusion and found that there was no other passage behind him but this road.

"This……"

Ruan Xiaozhe vaguely sensed something.

Although he had only been at this magic school for a few weeks, he had already begun to adapt to everything here.

"This is a magical passage."

Just like the last time they tried to escape from the underground warehouse, this path is hidden by magic!

There are two ways to find the exit:

Either find a hidden passage or force your way through this brick wall.

Ruan Xiaozhe took out the charcoal powder wrapped in paper from his pocket, and Yunel asked curiously:

"what is that?"

"I made this with Ratford, just in case we have to escape."

The principle is similar to using graphite powder to find fingerprints, but it is used to discover hidden traces of magic.

Seeing Ruan Xiaozhe being so skilled, Yunel was speechless for a moment.

Yunel's complicated look made Ruan Xiaozhe mistakenly think that she was envious of him.

"I'll have to teach him later."

He believed that Yunel would definitely be interested in this skill!

……

"It seems... not possible."

However, this time was not as smooth as the last time in the underground warehouse, and Ruan Xiaozhe did not find any traces.

But Ruan Xiaozhe did not give up.

"Yunelle, please step back a little."

If tricks don't work, use brute force!

Ruan Xiaozhe planned to directly break through the magic barrier of this passage just like he destroyed the protective magic at the entrance of the White Tiger Tower dormitory last time!

"No need to use too much force, as long as the passage can be exposed." Ruan Xiaozhe thought so and twisted his wrist.

"Stop it, idiot!"

"what!"

At this moment, an elf's voice echoed in the corridor, full of irritability and threats.

"who are you?"

"I don't tell my name to people who are not qualified. What are you doing here? If you don't answer quickly, I won't forgive you."

"Mr. Palakis introduced us here." Ruan Xiaozhe said hurriedly.

"Parages?"

The grumpy elf paused for a moment, as if he was a little surprised.

"Yes, call me to sign a contract with you."

“Although you look like a professor at school and you are quite capable, this does not mean that you are qualified to sign a contract with me. I don’t know why Palakis asked you to come, but…”

“We are students, not professors.”

Yunel interjected.

"?"

“We are freshmen…”

……

There was an awkward silence.

Through the magical fluctuations on the walls and ceiling, Ruan Xiaozhe felt that the elf seemed to be confirming something.

"So it's the little wizard... Wait, is it really the little wizard? Not in disguise?"

"If you don't believe it, you can confirm it yourself."

The grumpy elf seemed to hesitate for a moment, but ultimately decided not to doubt it anymore.

"In that case, I understand why Palakis asked you to come. He is quite friendly to the young wizard, but I will not sign a contract with you. I never sign contracts with people I am not familiar with."

"As expected..."
