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

Just as Ruan Xiaozhe was about to ask Yunel in depth about Genando, a deafening sound exploded in the hall like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"Enough of the small talk, you hard-headed ones! There will be plenty of time for that in the days ahead."

As the sound echoed, a huge skull appeared out of thin air and hovered in the center of the hall.

It exudes a deep magical power, and its eyes seem to burn with an eternal flame, which makes people shudder.

"Lich!" someone in the crowd exclaimed in a low voice.

Lich, a being that voluntarily sells its soul to the god of death in exchange for eternal life and great power, only exists in ancient legends!

But at this moment, it appeared in front of everyone in such a shocking way!

It was also the first time that Ruan Xiaozhe saw a lich with his own eyes, and his heart beat faster involuntarily!

The students around were talking about it, with surprise and fear written all over their faces.

"Now, let me ask you a question."

The skull's voice was cold and authoritative, "Why do I call you Iron Heads?"

Arden Arte raised her hand first, and Gennando glared at her in dissatisfaction, but the skull didn't seem to care.

"Because...the symbol of our new life is steel, as unyielding as steel."

Arden Art answered cautiously.

"Very good." There seemed to be a hint of approval in the skull's voice, "I'll give your dormitory 10 points!"

"Is there really such a score?" asked Arden Art in surprise.

"of course not."

The skull's voice suddenly became cunning, "To become a magician, you must first learn to see through lies!"

Arden Arte's face immediately turned red, realizing that he had been fooled.

"That's right." The skull continued, "The symbol of your first year is steel."

"Just as bronze is the symbol of the second year, steel is extremely strong, but its quality and uses vary depending on how it is forged. This fits the characteristics of you first years."

The students nodded in agreement, but the skull changed the subject: "You've been fooled again, idiots!"

"Your symbol is steel, because there is nothing in your heads, that's why we call you iron heads!"

"If you don't believe me, you can try knocking your head. It will make a very nice sound, hehehe."

The atmosphere in the hall froze in an instant, and there was deathly silence.

Those noble sons of noble families had never been insulted like this. They glared at the skull in anger, but no one dared to speak out in rebuttal.

Because the powerful magic emanating from the skull made them feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Ruan Xiaozhe took a deep breath and calmed his inner turmoil. He looked at the huge skull with awe in his heart.

This skull-headed principal is not only powerful but also sharp-tongued. I guess the next few days will be interesting.

"It's amazing." Ruan Xiaozhe muttered to himself as he felt the spatial fluctuations around him.

With the appearance of the Skeleton Principal, the surrounding magic power instantly boiled over and transformed into invisible pressure, making it difficult for everyone present to breathe, as if they were in the deep sea.

"Well... I can still move." Ruan Xiaozhe tried to move his body and found that although it was difficult, he could still move freely.

However, the Skeleton Principal's gaze was as sharp as a hawk and suddenly turned to him.

Ruan Xiaozhe's heart tightened and he immediately adjusted his posture, standing straight as a pine tree.

He knew that he came to this college to obtain a diploma and also to make connections. At this moment, he must not let this eccentric principal target him because of a small move.

"Am I being too hopeful about the future of the Empire?"

Principal Skeleton's voice suddenly softened, causing some of the students present to breathe a sigh of relief.

But Ruan Xiaozhe remained alert, for he knew that the principal's madness went far beyond this.

Rumor has it that a creature will lose some of its humanity after becoming a lich. Ruan Xiaozhe is not sure whether this is the case with the skeleton principal.

But Ruan Xiaozhe thought of the professor in the Institute of Rebirth in his previous life. Compared with the skeleton principal in front of him, that professor's madness seemed to be slightly inferior.

"Well, to celebrate your arrival, our academy's best chefs have prepared a sumptuous banquet."

The voice of the Skeleton Principal sounded again, causing many students to flash a glimmer of expectation in their eyes.

"Will it be roasted chicken from the western part of the empire? Or roasted fish from the eastern part?"

A few chubby boys have begun to imagine the taste of the food, with intoxicated expressions on their faces.

However, when the huge dining table appeared in front of everyone, it was empty and there was no food on it.

"Ah? This..." The students looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

"You've been fooled again! You're such a bunch of idiots! How can you become a magician?"

The skeleton principal suddenly sneered loudly, causing the timid freshmen to shed tears of grievance.

"Now, I'm going to tell you the rules here."

Principal Skeleton said solemnly, "This is the cradle of magicians, and the greatest motivation for cultivating magicians is - desire!"

Before he finished speaking, several tattered cloaks, staffs and clothes suddenly appeared in the air.

"This is your school uniform." said the Skeleton Principal indifferently.

Then, a few pieces of dark, hard bread and cold rice balls appeared out of thin air.

“This is your food.”

"This...this is too much!" someone couldn't help but shout.

The Skeleton Principal responded excitedly: "Yes! This is the reaction I want!"

"You think these foods are hard to swallow? Then quickly learn magic and get better food with your own hands!"

"Think these clothes and staffs are too tattered? Then use magic to exchange them for new ones!"

"Here, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can get everything!"

Ruan Xiaozhe was shocked.

Although he had heard that Einlogard's teaching was strict, he did not expect it to be so extreme.

Everything here needs to be exchanged for magic, even the most basic daily necessities are no exception!

"Hmph, why don't we just contact the outside world and bring in the supplies?" A student standing in an arrogant manner muttered unconvinced.

But the Skeleton Principal shouted even more excitedly: "Yes! This is the reaction I want!"

"But remember, first years are not allowed to go out! Don't count on getting supplies from the seniors! You won't be seeing them for a while!"

The students looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

"Okay, disband, you iron-heads."

The Skeleton Principal waved his hand and said, "Good luck to you! I hope you can become excellent magicians!"

As the Skeleton Principal left, a few low curses were heard from the crowd.

But they have no choice, in this college full of challenges and opportunities, they are about to start a brand new journey.

As soon as the Skeleton Principal disappeared, Prince Genando was like a lit powder barrel. He stomped his feet angrily, his face flushed, as if he wanted to crush the ground.

His anger was like a volcanic eruption, with nowhere to vent it, so he could only roar to vent his dissatisfaction.

"This is simply outrageous! How dare he treat a person of my status like this?"

Ganando's eyes widened with anger, and he turned to Ruan Xiaozhe, as if he wanted to find resonance from him, "Ruan Xiaozhe! How can you be so calm?"

"Look at these tattered clothes and the food that even pigs wouldn't eat. This is simply an insult to us!"

Ruan Xiaozhe seemed to be out of the matter. He glanced at Ganando calmly and said lightly: "I think it's okay. At least I can still survive."

"You..." Genando opened his mouth in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

He never expected that Ruan Xiaozhe would accept all this so calmly.

"Don't you think this is too much? We are the nobles of the empire, how can we tolerate such treatment?" Genando asked unwillingly, but his voice was already trembling.

Ruan Xiaozhe shrugged slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes, "Here, we are the same as civilians."

"If you really feel dissatisfied, then work hard to improve your magical abilities. Once you have the strength, you can naturally change everything."

Gennando was completely enraged by Ruan Xiaozhe's calm and indifferent attitude, but he couldn't refute it.

Because what Ruan Xiaozhe said was exactly the fact that he agreed with deep in his heart.

So he could only turn around and leave angrily, muttering words of dissatisfaction.

Ruan Xiaozhe looked at Ganando's departing back and sighed softly.
