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

Genando looked at the black bread in front of him and sighed.

How could anyone really think that life could be sustained by just hard black bread and cold rice balls?

How could anyone willingly wear a rough and worn cloak that looked like it was picked up from a garbage dump?

But there was no trace of joking on Ruan Xiaozhe's face.

"The Vodanazi family... is indeed a family that cannot be underestimated!" Genando muttered to himself.

Each of the empire's noble families has its own unique heritage and influence.

The Vodanaz family, to which Ruan Xiaozhe belongs, is the most mysterious one among them.

The members of Vodanaz do not seem to be keen on the power games in the court, but instead devote all their energy to the study of magic.

It was for this reason that Genando had previously misunderstood Ruan Xiaozhe's actions.

"No wonder they can endure such poverty."

"Are all members of the Vodanazi family trained this way?"

Thinking of this, Genando felt an inexplicable sympathy in his heart.

He couldn't help but came back and patted Ruan Xiaozhe on the shoulder, with a bit of sincerity in his tone: "Ruan Xiaozhe, come to my house when you have time, I will definitely treat you well."

Although Ruan Xiaozhe didn't understand, he still nodded to express his gratitude.

After Principal Skeleton's unique welcome ceremony for the new students ended, Ruan Xiaozhe took the opportunity to find Yunai, hoping to resolve the doubts in his heart.

"Yunelle, why do you always follow Ganando?"

"Even if they are cousins, given the status of the Mei Jin family, they shouldn't need to act according to the royal family's wishes, right?" Ruan Xiaozhe asked directly.

Yunel smiled and replied casually: "Oh, that's because of Genando's mother."

"Forehead?"

A scene immediately emerged in Ruan Xiaozhe's mind:

Young Yunelle made a mistake at a royal banquet. Everyone was whispering and she was so scared that she was about to cry.

Then at this moment, Ganando's mother, the noble imperial concubine, walked up to her gently and comforted Yunel softly: "It's okay, everyone makes mistakes."

If this was really the experience, it would be understandable that Yunel would be grateful to Gennando's mother.

After all, it meant a lot to her to have someone stand up for her in that situation.

But Yunel's next words surprised Ruan Xiaozhe.

"Ah? That's not it. It's because Gennando's mother is very rich."

"By being close to Ganando, I can gain many benefits."

Yunel said it lightly.

Ruan Xiaozhe was so shocked that he was speechless.

So this is the truth?

"Can this still happen?"

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that I have to get along well with Ganando too!"

Ainrogad Magic Academy, a place where all kinds of talents from royal families to slaves gather.

Here, as long as you have enough magical talent, anyone can find his or her own piece of heaven!

However, the college is also well aware that bringing together these young people with different personalities and identities will inevitably lead to friction and conflict.

Therefore, the college's dormitories are carefully divided into four areas.

The most prominent among them is the "Qinglong Tower".

Here live students from royal families and prominent aristocratic families. They enjoy privileges and honors, but also bear the expectations and pressures of their families.

As a member of the Vodanaz family, Ruan Xiaozhe was naturally assigned here.

"Humph, those priests, I don't know if they will come to preach to us."

From time to time, the voices of discussions among the noble children could be heard in the Qinglong Tower.

Not far away, in another dormitory called the "Eternal Phoenix Tower", priests from various religious orders in the empire live.

They wore simple priestly garments, which formed a sharp contrast with the luxurious aristocratic costumes around them.

Although they are priests, they do not shy away from using magic. Instead, they regard it as a blessing from God.

Therefore, it was only natural that they were selected by the various religious orders in the empire and sent to Ainlogard to study magic.

"It's really conspicuous." Ruan Xiaozhe looked at the direction of the Yongran Phoenix Tower from afar and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The noble boys and girls, who had been taught by the priests at home since childhood, looked at the priests who were simply dressed with disdain.

They looked at the priests who were simply dressed and had plain temperaments, and a hint of disgust unconsciously frowned between their brows.

However, the following scene made them even more unhappy.

The door of the Thunder White Tiger Tower slowly opened, and the young men and women from the Imperial Knight families came into view.

These children of knight families seem to be incompatible with magic schools, but in fact, they are also pursuers of magic.

They firmly believe that both telepathy and healing magic are indispensable aids on the path of knighthood.

Seeing this, Ganando grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Why would Aingarod take in these guys who blasphemed the pure path of magic?"

"Wouldn't it be enough to just find a street magician to be their tutor?"

Ruan Xiaozhe felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

Although he himself also pursued magic, he wanted to use it to get ahead rather than purely explore the mysteries of magic.

He took a deep breath and responded calmly to Gennando's words: "If you want to learn, of course you have to learn from the best."

"What...why are you speaking for them?" Ganando looked at Ruan Xiaozhe in confusion.

Ruan Xiaozhe smiled slightly. He knew that Genando's mother was wealthy, so he did not directly refute: "A noble person will not look down on those who are lower than themselves."

Although Genando muttered, "This is too much to ask...", he was obviously touched by Ruan Xiaozhe's words and decided not to express his dissatisfaction easily.

As the boys and girls from the Knight Family walked by, the last group of students from the dormitory finally appeared.

Their attire varied, but they all displayed a temperament completely different from that of the nobles present; they were the members from the Black Turtle Tower.

The dormitories of the Black Turtle Tower were filled with all kinds of people, from commoners to servants, from slaves to artists, to beggars, merchants, and emerging lower-level nobles, and so on.

They obviously knew that their status was the lowest in the academy, so they seemed a little timid and uneasy.

However, Ruan Xiaozhe developed a strong interest in them.

He thought silently in his heart: "If there is a chance, I should get on good terms with them."

What is the best way to make money? Of course, do business!

Compared to other major families, the Vodanazi family is not famous for its wealth in the empire.

When Ruan Xiaozhe came, his father, the head of the family, did not give him much money, and told him to be self-reliant, so Ruan Xiaozhe is in a very difficult financial situation now.

The best business partners are often not those high-ranking aristocrats, but those people who have struggled at the bottom of society and are well versed in the ways of human nature.

"They are looking here." Ruan Xiaozhe noticed that the students of the Black Turtle Tower were secretly observing them.

"Don't look them in the eye. It's no good," Gennando warned.

But Ruan Xiaozhe smiled slightly. He knew that his fate with these people might be about to begin.
