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

"Is it because Ruan Xiaozhe's magic power is too strong that you don't want to show up? Are you scared like the other elves?" Yunel said with a hint of helplessness.

"…What are you talking about? Of course not!" The elf on the opposite side was shocked by Yunel's words.

Afraid of the magic being too strong? This is a huge misunderstanding and must not be misunderstood!

"But aren't you unwilling to show up now? Palakis said that Ruan Xiaozhe's existence makes many elves feel afraid." Yunel continued.

"Yunail... I'm not to the extent that you said that..." Ruan Xiaozhe suddenly felt like he was being called a monster.

"Is this the reason why you don't want to show up?" Yunel insisted.

"I won't be afraid to show up just because of a little magic power!" The elf's voice was full of anger.

"Then what is the reason why you don't want to show up?" This time it was the curious Ruan Xiaozhe who asked.

The elf on the other side hesitated for a moment before answering, "I just... don't like meaningless fights, so I avoided it."

"..."

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe and Yunel looked at each other, seemed to understand something, and said at the same time: "I see."

"I understand." Ruan Xiaozhe nodded.

"You young magicians! Can't I understand the hidden meaning in your words?!"

……

Percutra.

This was the elf's name, but he did not tell the two magicians.

Usually, the elves summoned by the magician will fulfill the contract at the location provided by the magician, or appear when the magician summons them to complete the tasks in the contract.

The key is the contract.

The magician can only ask the elf to complete the tasks in the original contract, and the elf will not agree to requests that exceed the scope of the contract.

But in return, the elves will guard the original contract and regard it as a part of honor.

So why is Perkutra here?

This is an abandoned punishment room with no one and nothing happening.

The answer is simple - Perkutra did not sign a formal contract with anyone.

——"I summoned you, the great spirit Perkutra, surrender to me! Submit to me! I know your true name, so you must kneel before me!"

——"Stop talking nonsense, you stinky rat-like lich! Even though I respect the strong, I can't surrender to a guy like you!"

One day, Principal Skeleton learned the name of Perkutra from the relics of ancient ruins and summoned the elf with this name.

However, Perkutra did not give in just because the Skeleton Principal knew his name.

He was unwilling to sign a contract with the lich no matter what.

For this, the two fought day and night for a whole week.

No matter how the Skeleton Principal threatened, Perkutra refused to give in.

Finally, Principal Skeleton proposed a compromise.

——"If you don't want to sign the contract, how about we make a compromise? As long as you help me do one thing, I will not give you any more orders. In return, I will pay tribute to you regularly!"

--"……What's up?"

——"I'm training some young magicians, and I hope you can stop them from escaping in this building!"

--"that's all?"

--"that's all!"

Perkutra was moved by the words of the Skeleton Principal.

Compared to the complex and detailed contracts, monitoring a building and preventing the young magician from escaping is not a difficult task.

Moreover, since it is not a formal contract, it does not need to maintain a spiritual connection with the lich.

——"If I refuse..."

- "Insolent elf, this is my final offer. If you refuse, I will tear your body apart, seal you away, and bury the book containing your name in a forgotten tomb. Will you enter eternal oblivion, or will you accept my offer?"

——"...Okay, I accept!"

Knowing that he could not defeat the Skeleton Principal, Perkutra finally accepted the offer.

He wondered what the chances were that the young magician could escape. At most, he wanted to go out because he missed the outside world.

...However, unexpectedly, these young magicians all had special skills and escaped many more times than he had imagined.

Perkutra later realized that the skeleton principal was actually encouraging the students to run away...

——"Successfully escaping is a skill, so try to escape as much as possible."

This lich is simply crazy. If students make mistakes, rules should be made to prohibit them from escaping. However, he directly cancelled the punishment for successful escape.

As a result, the smart students kept trying to escape.

As it turned out, the job of monitoring the underground punishment chamber was much more exhausting than Perkutra had expected.

The only time I could take a break was when I could enjoy the rare tranquility in this abandoned punishment room.

Although this moment of tranquility will soon be broken by the students' escape...

But at least this abandoned punishment room is pretty nice without any students in it.

However, today two young magicians suddenly came and disturbed Perkutra's rest.

"Parages, it's you, you bastard!"

Although I knew he was soft on the young magicians, I didn't expect him to actually send them here.

Perkutra couldn't help but speak angrily: "I'm not showing up for the safety of you young magicians!"

"Ah... I see. You don't have to explain. We all understand." Yunel would not directly anger the elf like Genando did, but the meaning contained in her words made Perkutra even more annoyed.

Elves of Perkutra's level could already see through what these young magicians were thinking.

Yunel thought that Perkutra refused to show up because he was afraid of Ruan Xiaozhe's magic.

This is such a ridiculous misunderstanding!

Although Ruan Xiaozhe does possess powerful magic power, Perkutra will never be afraid and run away because of this!

Ruan Xiaozhe felt that the conversation was becoming more and more tiring, so he respectfully requested, "I understand, Master Elf. Since you are unwilling to sign the contract, can you open this road for us?"

"and many more!"

"?"

"You young magicians are still doubting my strength in your hearts. Do you know how rude this is?"

"No..." Ruan Xiaozhe explained very aggrievedly, "We have already spoken to you very politely, why do you have such thoughts?"

"Can't I read your thoughts?!"

After hearing this, Ruan Xiaozhe and Yunel felt a little uneasy, but Ruan Xiaozhe did not back down:

"But we can't control what's in our heads. No matter what, we've been very polite."

Yunel nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes."

There is nothing wrong with what they said.

Of course, Perkutra obviously wouldn't accept it easily.

"Then I will show you a portion of my power."

"Very good, if you can open that wall, we can see..."

"Be quiet and get ready." Perkutra ignored Ruan Xiaozhe's suggestion, "You, gather your magic power."

"But I have been studying magic for less than a year." Ruan Xiaozhe said helplessly.

"I know, that's why I'll use the simplest method to let you feel it! Use the magic power you've gathered to transform the elements!"

Obviously, Perkutra had no intention of letting them off easily.

Ruan Xiaozhe sighed when he heard this and began to gather his magic power.

If you want to find a way out, it seems you must first convince this elf.

"What element should I use?"

"Use the most destructive element!"

"..."

"Stop doubting and hurry up!"

It was obvious that Ruan Xiaozhe's thoughts were seen through by the other party again. Perkutra got angry again, which made Ruan Xiaozhe startled.

"Let it burn!"

The most destructive element is naturally fire.

Ruan Xiaozhe tried to summon fire, hoping that the experience he gained from his exploration would come in handy.

At this moment, a huge bolt of lightning struck the flames from the ceiling of the punishment room.

"boom!!!"

"!"

"!!"

Ruan Xiaozhe and Yunel were startled by the loud noise.

Then they discovered that the flames were still there intact.

"…What did you do?"
