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

Yunel couldn't help but clap and cheer, and Professor Vladi nodded slightly in approval.

“…It’s incredible! How did you do it?!” asked the strange professor.

"Because I learned it, all thanks to Professor Vladi's careful teaching."

Ruan Xiaozhe answered calmly.

Hearing this, the strange professor who was meeting for the first time was even more amazed.

"What an outstanding student! Nice to meet you, you must be Vodanaz, right? I am Professor Kilming Ku. Normally we should shake hands, but I suggest you not to shake hands with me because of our race."

Obviously, Professor Kilmin and Professor Frady are at two extremes.

He had a cheerful voice, was well-dressed, and exuded an elegance. It was incredible that such a person could have a close conversation with Professor Fradi.

“What subjects do you teach?”

"I am an expert in fantasy magic, especially enchantments, as you just saw."

"!"

Suddenly, Ruan Xiaozhe showed an excited expression.

When listening to him arguing with Professor Freddy just now, Ruan Xiaozhe had some guesses in his mind. He didn't expect that he was really an expert in barrier magic!

"In fact, I will be invited to teach in Professor Garcia's class this semester, and I will show the students how fun fantasy magic is."

"Fantasy magic doesn't work."

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe was shocked by Professor Freddy's words.

He actually belittled other professors' fields in person. Isn't this bound to cause a fight?

However, Professor Kilmin simply ignored Professor Vlady's words.

"Using fantasy magic to deceive high-level magicians is much more difficult than any other magic." Professor Vladi said expressionlessly.

"Yes, I have said it hundreds of times. But the problem is that there are only a handful of what you call 'high-level' magicians in this vast empire. Well, Vodanaz, why did you put these assignments there?" asked Professor Kilmin.

Ruan Xiaozhe thought for about a second.

He looked at the professor's expression, considered whether he should lie, and finally made the best decision - "It's better to tell the truth."

"Because I handed in my homework late." Ruan Xiaozhe said with his head down.

"..."

Yunel's face flushed with shame.

Professor Kilmin was also surprised by this unexpected reason.

"It's because the homework was submitted late?"

"I'm sorry, Professor."

Ruan Xiaozhe apologized to Professor Vladi, but Professor Vladi obviously didn't care.

"Why?" Professor Frady asked calmly.

"The homework is late." Ruan Xiaozhe replied.

"Is this the homework I assigned?"

"……no"

"It is true." Professor Kilming looked at the master and disciple as if he were watching a spectacle.

To be honest, it is rare to find a student who can get along well with Professor Frady.

It is not strange for professors or students to talk to Professor Vladi for a few minutes and then say "May the sun shine on your head, go to hell you damn vampire" and leave...

"What class is that homework for? Tell me, I won't tell on you." Professor Kilmin asked curiously.

"Elementary Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic."

"Professor Alphin Knighton?"

When Professor Kilming mentioned the other person's name, Ruan Xiaozhe felt nervous.

The promises made to students pale in comparison to the friendships between professors...

"Well done, well done. I really have nothing bad to say about that professor's assignment."

"???"

Professor Kilming actually praised Ruan Xiaozhe, and Professor Vladi also added a rare sentence: "Professor Alfyn Knighton was once a senior official of the Empire. He is better at dealing with power than magic."

"You know what? That guy cut half of my research budget before."

The sight of the two professors cursing the professor of "Imperial Basic Geometry and Arithmetic" with gritted teeth made Ruan Xiaozhe breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that not all professors have harmonious relationships with each other.

In particular, those magicians who focus on pure magic research have a very bad opinion of those magicians who hold high positions and are active in the empire.

The reasons are probably something like "the purity of magic" or "the temptation and corruption of the world", but in Ruan Xiaozhe's opinion, the main reason is probably that the latter can use the research budget of the former.

Even a magician who can shake the world cannot carry out research without research funds.

Therefore, those magicians who work in high-ranking positions in the Empire and are responsible for reviewing research budgets naturally become the enemies of all other magicians.

——"My intuition tells me! This dungeon must be excavated using the entire territory's budget! Summon all nearby adventurers..."

——"You said the same thing last time. This proposal is cancelled."

——"I'm going to kill you! Kill you! You'd better be careful when walking at night!"

——"If you want to attack me, you have to queue up. There are already more than 30 people in the queue."

...Such "elegant" conversations take place every year.

However, after listening to the conversation between the two professors, Ruan Xiaozhe's mentality did not change.

on the contrary……

"It turns out that he was a high-ranking official in the empire."

After hearing that the other party was a high-ranking official of the empire, Ruan Xiaozhe's eyes sparkled.

what does this mean?

This means that he has powerful connections in the imperial bureaucracy!

Among all of Ruan Xiaozhe's goals, the one that ranks first is to become an imperial bureaucrat!

Ruan Xiaozhe suddenly felt that his resentment towards Professor Alfvén Knighton had melted like ice and snow.

Even the damned workload has suddenly turned into a sense of responsibility for a high-ranking official who shoulders the heavy responsibility of the empire!

"I must try my best to please him in the future." Ruan Xiaozhe thought.

"Vodanaz, I heard that you are very talented, but you have to be careful and don't be dragged away by the imperial bureaucrats. If you are too outstanding, they will try to seduce you in various ways." Professor Kilmin said kindly.

"Don't joke, Ku. Vodanaz will not take that humble anti-magic path." Professor Vladi frowned rarely and gave a long speech.

"That's right, what nonsense am I talking about. After all, you are from the Vodana family, so you won't become an imperial bureaucrat, right?"

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe felt a cold sweat, which he hadn't felt for a long time, running down his back.

……

Professor Kilming Ku told Ruan Xiaozhe that they would meet in the next fantasy magic class. (He also suggested that Ruan Xiaozhe ignore Professor Vladi's objections and study fantasy magic seriously.)

Then, Ruan Xiaozhe and Yunel walked towards their classmates in the Qinglong Tower.

Just now outside the classroom, Ruan Xiaozhe and Yunel exchanged glances with each other, and it seemed that everyone returned safely.

"fortunately."

Now, as long as we get the materials, we can make the potion...

"Thank you all for your hard work last night..." said Ruan Xiaozhe.

"Vodanaz! Ganandodo has been kidnapped!"

"!"

As soon as the students of the Qinglong Tower gathered in front of the tower saw Ruan Xiaozhe, they immediately ran over eagerly.

They looked like they had just been through a battle, and they were all in dishevelled and miserable conditions.

Ruan Xiaozhe was shocked when he saw this and asked hurriedly, "Who kidnapped them? Could it be those guys from the White Tiger Tower?"

"No! It's a summoned beast that was released!!"

Ruan Xiaozhe was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he stopped.

If you think about it carefully, this is not a situation that can be reassured...
