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

"Don't rare monsters like Thunderbird only appear in high altitudes or mountains..." Ruan Xiaozhe muttered to himself, but he didn't say it out loud.

After all, you always have to be careful when speaking in front of a professor.

"But don't worry, you will still get to ride your favorite mount. Vodanaz, come here, you have to help me with the class." said the Lightning Step Professor.

Amidst many admiring and jealous gazes, Ruan Xiaozhe walked forward.

At this moment, he didn't care about the students who looked at him with admiration, but those jealous looks made him really want to beat up those people.

"These guys who don't know the inside story..." Ruan Xiaozhe cursed in his heart.

"Horses are the most common basic mounts in the empire. Those who can't even ride a horse are not worthy of being adventurers. If you want to ride a more advanced mount, you must at least learn to ride a horse first." Professor Lightning Step continued.

Suddenly, many students showed bored expressions. After all, many of them already knew how to ride horses.

For them, riding a horse is easy.

However, Professor Lightning Step was not angry, but instead showed a meaningful smile.

"Oh no, it seems this is not just an ordinary horse riding lesson." Ruan Xiaozhe's heart sank.

In this Einlogard, every seemingly ordinary course always has unexpected traps behind it.

"Everyone, go to the stables!" Professor Lightning Step gave an order and the students followed.

The stables are located near the main building and are clean and spacious facilities.

The huge three-story warehouse-like building automatically opened its door as the professor approached.

"It's really been cast under a spell." Ruan Xiaozhe muttered secretly as he felt the magical aura around the stable.

It seems that the horses raised here are definitely not just ordinary horses.

"Wow!"

"What a beautiful horse!" the students exclaimed in admiration.

On both sides of the stable, horses of various colors stood neatly: white, black, brown, and gold. Each one looked purebred and had a strong body.

The students' eyes lit up. It was their dream to ride a horse like this!

But Ruan Xiaozhe was not fooled by appearances. He whispered to Yunel beside him, "Be careful."

"What's wrong?" Yunel was puzzled.

"Think about the alchemy class. Professor Lightning Step is a relative of Professor Thunder Step. Do you think there will be no traps?"

"...Ah!" Yunel suddenly realized and nodded.

Professor Lightning Step stroked his chin, showed a sly smile, turned to Ruan Xiaozhe and said: "As my assistant, you have the right to choose the horse first."

Suddenly, there was a burst of jealous booing from behind.

Let Ruan Xiaozhe choose the horse first? The other students were not happy. The order of horse selection determined the riding partner for the entire semester, and no one wanted to give up the best horse.

"These idiots." Ruan Xiaozhe sneered in his heart as he looked at the smile that flashed across the professor's lips.

"Thank you, professor, but I don't think I should choose first. It would be fairer to let other students choose first," said Ruan Xiaozhe.

"Vodanaz, you are such a humble person!" exclaimed the students in Qinglong Tower.

The other students were still staring at the horse, but they were impressed by Vodana's generosity.

"That's it, then. Each tower decides the order on its own, and everyone chooses their horses in turn. If there's a conflict, we'll draw lots." Professor Lightning Step nodded in agreement.

The students lined up according to their respective towers. The students of the Azure Dragon Tower drew lots to decide the order, and the first one was Ganando.

"Great!" Gennando cheered, feeling that he had finally gotten lucky.

The other students in Qinglong Tower seemed a little disappointed.

"Why him?"

"It would be better to let Vodanaz choose first."

"Humph, losers always complain." Genando said disdainfully.

Ruan Xiaozhe asked Yunel next to him: "Can Ganando choose horses?"

"Uh... probably not." Yunel hesitated.

Ganando strode to the stable and selected the largest and fiercest white horse.

This made the other students look at him in surprise. You know, a bigger horse doesn't necessarily mean it's better, especially a horse with a bad temper is more difficult to tame.

"what!"

"Ouch!"

"it hurts!"

"Ahhh!"

The students cried out in surprise as they saw Genando being knocked flying by the white horse!

Other students who had chosen their horses also suffered, either being kicked or spit on.

The herd of horses suddenly became agitated, neighing one after another, as if all the horses were expressing hostility towards the students.

"Hahahahaha! I told you, riding a horse requires skills. Your first task is not to ride the horses, but to establish a relationship with them. Do you really think you can choose a horse easily?" Professor Lightning Step laughed.

"What……"

"This is too much!"

Some students who had never taken an alchemy class were about to cry.

"Feed them in the morning and evening, and clean the stables. Only then will they accept you."

"Okay, now I declare that the first goal of this class is to establish a good relationship with one of these horses," Professor Lightning Step announced.

"These are definitely not ordinary horses." Ruan Xiaozhe thought, ordinary horses would not react like this.

Just as Ruan Xiaozhe was thinking about which horse to choose, Professor Lightning Step patted his shoulder with a big hand.

"Vodanaz, you don't have to choose. I have already chosen it for you." Professor Lightning Step said with a smile.

"No... no need, professor?" Ruan Xiaozhe smiled bitterly in his heart. Looking at the professor's meaningful smile, it seemed that he could not refuse.
