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

"What a pity." Ruan Xiaozhe felt regretful that his unique theory of course selection was not recognized by his roommates.

"You mean... you deliberately chose classes that no one attends? Why? Is it noble to attend those classes?"

"'Repeated Practice of Basic Magic Combat'? Oh, sorry, I already have other plans for that class. Seriously, I'm not lying to you."

"Vodanaz, why do you waste your time on those useless courses? I really don't understand. No one in our Dalkad family has ever done this."

But what can be done?

The path of the righteous is always lonely.

When midterm and final exams come one after another and they are overwhelmed by homework, their friends will definitely remember Ruan Xiaozhe's foresight.

In any school, professors have no mercy and expect students to focus only on their own courses and completely ignore the existence of other courses.

Therefore, in order to focus on the courses they really like, students need to balance it with some courses that are easy to get high scores. This is called selection and concentration.

Any school operates in a similar way.

"This is it."

Ruan Xiaozhe walked into the main building and found the stairs leading to the underground.

"Repeated Practice of Basic Magic Combat" is on the 1st basement floor.

“…It’s really spooky.”

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The huge staircase behind the main entrance of the main building is neither too luxurious nor too simple, but has just the right Gothic style, and does not look unusual.

Even so, Ruan Xiaozhe still felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding, perhaps because of the rumors he knew.

"They said not to wander around the magician's tower."

There is a well-known saying in the Empire, known to both wizards and ordinary people: "Don't wander around in a wizard's tower."

Although it looks ordinary on the surface, you don’t know what kind of magic is cast there. If you go to the second floor casually, you may be lost forever and unable to come back.

Many of the family storybooks that Ruan Xiaozhe had read told stories of children being trapped in an evil wizard's tower and struggling to escape.

Young Ruan Xiaozhe once naively asked, “Are these stories exaggerated?”

"It's a bit exaggerated, Master."

"Right? No matter what, you wouldn't disappear after going to the second floor, right?"

"Yes, an outsider who enters a magician's tower will never be able to escape. If those children were in reality, they would have been trapped until they died of old age."

"..."

The young Ruan Xiaozhe was frightened at the thought that he would disappear if he just went to the second floor.

The magician's tower is a magical cave full of various mysteries.

This magic school, Einlogardgard, is like a combination of countless magician towers, and its danger is unpredictable.

In fact, among the freshmen who have just enrolled, very few dare to explore the campus casually.

In fact, when students first enter school, they should be curious about everything. They all know from their families or rumors that random exploration may result in them being discovered dead.

"But the underground floor should be okay..."

Ruan Xiaozhe tried hard to calm down and overcome his fear.

In fact, the notoriety of the Mage Tower is somewhat exaggerated. Nothing special happened when walking around the first floor of the main building or the dormitory.

Just then, the familiar sound of bones colliding was heard.

Click, click——

"Oh, what? You're going to the basement? Will you be found dead tomorrow?"

"..."

The skeleton principal who was passing by threw out a sarcastic remark, and Ruan Xiaozhe was speechless for a moment.

"How terrible." Ruan Xiaozhe thought.

"Dear Principal, it's an honor to meet you!" Ruan Xiaozhe immediately bowed respectfully.

Even if your heart is full of resentment and anger, you must keep smiling on the surface. This is an essential quality for a noble.

His elegant manners demonstrated his aristocratic demeanor, and the Skeleton Headmaster nodded with satisfaction.

"You do have some manners."

"Yes, I am planning to go to the basement level. Do you have any instructions?"

"No, if you become a corpse tomorrow, I will give you a flower."

"Damn old bastard." Ruan Xiaozhe cursed in his heart.

……

Although Ruan Xiaozhe was frightened by what the Skeleton Principal said, there was actually nothing special about the basement floor.

The wide corridors were lined with classrooms and were devoid of corpses, undead, or other dangerous monsters.

Although it was a bit dark, eerie and cold, Ruan Xiaozhe felt that it was only because the foundation of the magic school was not very good.

"Fortunately, it's not as scary as I imagined." Ruan Xiaozhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, two students walked past him.

Ruan Xiaozhe looked at them in surprise. Could it be that they were also here to take the class "Repeated Practice of Basic Magic Combat"?

"It seems that I am not the only one who has this idea of ​​taking advantage of the credit loophole."

After all, the elites of the entire empire are gathered here, and it is impossible that he is the only one so smart.

Although there are competitors, Ruan Xiaozhe doesn't mind.

"It's better to have two people. It's more interesting than listening to the class alone."

"Ah, this is not a classroom. I almost went into the wrong place."

"What kind of classroom is this?"

"Repeated Practice of Basic Magic Combat."

"What? There is such a class? Does anyone really take this class?"

"I heard that the students of the White Tiger Tower came out cursing after they went there."

"A class that even they can't listen to is definitely not a class that can be taken, right?"

"..."

The two students were chatting as they walked towards other classrooms. Obviously, they were not here for this class, they just went to the wrong place.

When Ruan Xiaozhe heard their conversation, he suddenly felt a little uneasy and walked towards the door hesitantly.

creak-

The classroom door opened and three students were already sitting inside.

But from the expressions of uneasiness, anxiety, confusion and worry on their faces, Ruan Xiaozhe knew that they did not have a clear purpose like him - just to get credits.

In short, their expressions all said, “Did I choose the wrong class?”
