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

The principal was crazier than Ruan Xiaozhe had imagined.

He originally thought that the principal would give the students some chances to escape. After all, the principal said: "If you are caught, you will be considered a failure, but if you escape successfully, you will be innocent."

However, the reality is that the principal has blocked every way down the mountain with Undead Trackers, leaving the students with no chance at all.

Perhaps, in the principal's twisted mind, he thinks this is an opportunity for students to "grow".

"The professors' brain circuits are really abnormal." Ruan Xiaozhe thought to himself that the principal might really think: "Only in this way can students grow through breakthroughs."

The problem is, Ruan Xiaozhe and his group who broke through were far from the strength he thought.

"This is bad. Even if the students of the White Tiger Tower attract more attention from pursuers, it will be useless. How about we just surrender?"

Ruan Xiaozhe was thinking, the entire way down the mountain was blocked by bone trackers and netherworld flames.

Suddenly, Ruan Xiaozhe discovered something unusual.

The bone trackers and bone hounds seemed to be completely unaware of their presence and were just chasing the students of the White Tiger Tower.

"Could it be... that the principal doesn't know we are here?" Ruan Xiaozhe's heart moved. He originally thought that the principal knew everything, but maybe that was just his illusion?

"What if that giant skeleton is not the principal himself, but just his clone or phantom?"

In this way, as long as you avoid the pursuer's sight, you may be able to escape successfully!

"Let's go up." Ruan Xiaozhe said in a low voice.

"What?" Nilia was stunned.

"The road below is totally impassable now. If we run into those pursuers, we're done. On the contrary, there are no pursuers above. If we go up and then take a detour or find a hiding place, the chances of success will be greater."

"I understand!" Neilia agreed without hesitation, which surprised Ruan Xiaozhe.

"I just proposed it... Why did you agree so quickly? There's no telling what dangers there might be on the road above."

"Any option is better than being taken to the punishment room and tortured!" Nilia said firmly.

"...I think you may have misunderstood something. The confinement room is not that scary..." Ruan Xiaozhe shook his head helplessly.

……

The group walked up carefully for about 30 minutes. Nilia, who was at the front, looked forward and whispered, "There is a cave over there. Let's go in."

"Are there any monsters inside?" Ruan Xiaozhe asked.

"No, it's a small cave, and I just threw a stone in to test it, but there was no reaction." Nilia answered confidently.

"We have been walking for a long time, we need to take a break." Ruan Xiaozhe looked at his tired teammates.

Nilia, Ruan Xiaozhe and Delgui were still okay, but Yunel and Genando were almost exhausted.

"Light magic!" Ruan Xiaozhe cast a magic spell after entering the cave, and the cave suddenly became as bright as day.

Yunel hung his coat over the hole to block the light from leaking out.

"Those bone trackers won't follow us here, right?" Yunel asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, the trackers are all at the foot of the mountain, and we didn't hear any sound of tracking along the way." Nilia comforted.

Indeed, the undead trackers summoned by the principal did not notice them and did not chase them up the mountain.

"The question is how long these trackers will stay out there," Delgui said.

"Maybe I should just force my way out." Delgui felt a little regretful.

"That's impossible." Ruan Xiaozhe shook his head, "The principal won't give you that kind of opportunity."

"...How do you know?" Delgui asked, but still chose to respect Ruan Xiaozhe's opinion.

"We can wait for the pursuers to disperse, or take a detour. Let's take a rest and eat something now," Ruan Xiaozhe suggested.

"Agree!"

Ruan Xiaozhe took out the sausages, bread and cheese he had brought and distributed them to everyone.

Ganando took out a piece of dwarven honey candy and put it in his mouth with an intoxicated look on his face. It was obvious that he hadn't eaten sweets for several days.

"Oh no, I'm out of water." Nilia took out the empty water bag and said with a frown.

"Don't worry, there is magic." Ruan Xiaozhe comforted him, and then waved his staff, "Spring Spell!"

A ball of water appeared out of nowhere, and Nilia quickly filled her water bag.

"Ruan Xiaozhe is so awesome!" Delgui exclaimed. As a man born into a knight family, he has always admired magic.

Gennando and Yunel also clapped happily, obviously they were very curious about water magic.

"I'm thirsty, thank you." Nilia stuffed the water bag with satisfaction and said enviously, "I really hope I can learn water magic too."

"As long as you master the trick, you will be able to learn it quickly." Ruan Xiaozhe said sincerely. This is actually not a very difficult magic. Once you master the feeling, it will be easy to get started.

"I hope so." Nilia nodded and began to chant, "Burn!"

As soon as she finished her words, a small flame danced in the air and quickly ignited the fire starter she had prepared.

A warm bonfire was lit and everyone sat around it, enjoying the rare warmth.

"How lucky! I succeeded in one try." Nilia looked at the flames with satisfaction and said to Ruan Xiaozhe, "Although I am good at fire magic, I still hope to learn water magic."

“……”Ruan Xiaozhe looked at Neilia in silence.

"…Why are you looking at me like that?" Nilia felt a little scared and asked stutteringly, "Did I say something wrong?"
