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

"Vegetables are next."

Ruan Xiaozhe expertly added water, then tomatoes and potatoes, and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Nowadays, the seasonings that can be easily bought outside are like rare treasures in the eyes of these first-year students.

The tomatoes made the soup turn red, and as it was bubbling, the students all stared at Ruan Xiaozhe with eager eyes.

"Can I eat now?" Gennando swallowed.

However, Ruan Xiaozhe decisively stopped him and said, "Not yet, we need to add cabbage."

Ruan Xiaozhe added cabbage, then some butter and seasoned it again...

At this moment, the expression on his face was serious and earnest, giving people the feeling of an experienced...alchemist?

Seeing that Chef Vodanaz was about to finish cooking, the students of the Azure Dragon Tower involuntarily straightened their clothes and stood respectfully.

"Okay, bring the bowl." Ruan Xiaozhe said.

"Yes! Honorable Vodanaz!"

"Why are they suddenly using honorifics?" Ruan Xiaozhe was a little surprised.

Although Ruan Xiaozhe was confused, he didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the spoon and served the soup to everyone in turn.

After the news that Ruan Xiaozhe brought back food from outside and cooked for everyone here spread, Yunel also hurried over, using a feather pen dipped in ink to help Ruan Xiaozhe keep accounts.

"The Kielen family, eight silver coins... The Gainan family, eleven silver coins..."

"Vodanaz, isn't one silver coin per person too little?"

"Yes, you should charge more. Compared with your hard work, this amount of money is too little."

"How can we show our noble status by selling it so cheaply?"

These young men and women of great nobility have absolutely no concept of money.

Ruan Xiaozhe and Yunail both sighed after hearing this and looked at each other helplessly.

"What if they live independently in the future?" Ruan Xiaozhe shook his head.

"Um, Vodanaz." Suddenly a student stood up.

"Ok?"

"Can you send some to Her Royal Highness the Princess as well?"

Several students from the Qinglong Tower asked cautiously. It seemed that these people were followers of Adenart.

Ruan Xiaozhe's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Well, Vodanaz, we are not forcing you..."

"We know that you have a good relationship with Prince Ganando, but you don't have to oppose the princess. We just want Her Highness to have delicious food."

"Huh?" Hearing these words, Ruan Xiaozhe realized that perhaps they had misunderstood him.

He was reluctant to bring food to the princess, not because he was so close to Ganando, but because he didn't want to give it for free.

"You misunderstood. I don't want to send food to the princess because of Ganando. I would never do such a childish thing."

"Vodanaz...!"

"It really has to be you!"

Ruan Xiaozhe's words made the students' faces brighten and they were all in a good mood.

Ruan Xiaozhe then asked, "But who will pay for the meal? Is it Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"We'll pay! We'll each pay double."

"Thank you, Vodanaz!"

"But... is it really okay to do this?" Upon hearing that the other party wanted to pay double, Ruan Xiaozhe felt a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was.

"Compared to your efforts, this little money is nothing, Vodanaz."

"Thank you so much, even though I'm sorry for causing you trouble because of the prince's problem."

The students expressed their sincere gratitude, which inevitably surprised Ruan Xiaozhe.

He was surprised that they were willing to pay for the princess with their own money; he was also surprised that they paid more money where they should have bargained; he was even more surprised that they had such a low opinion of Ganando.

"It seems that as a member of the royal family, Ganando's political ability to establish his own faction is close to zero..."

And to outsiders, it seemed that Genando and Arden Arte, both members of the royal family, had been in a state of hostility since birth.

"But the real royal struggle may not be as cruel as they think."

Ruan Xiaozhe and Gennando have been together for some time. In his impression, the conflicts between Gennando and Adenarte were limited to bickering between children.

Although there were misunderstandings on both sides, Arden Arte's followers had a good impression of him, so Ruan Xiaozhe felt that there was no need to explain too much.

"I hope all the royal family members can live in harmony for the sake of the empire." Ruan Xiaozhe said sincerely

"Vodanaz...!"

“You are such an amazing person!”

……

Ruan Xiaozhe held the soup bowl and knocked on the door of the princess's private room.

After a moment, Arden Art opened the door.

"Ok?"

Arden Arte raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with his eyes why he came.

Ruan Xiaozhe handed over the steaming bowl and said, "I made some food in the lounge, please have some."

Aden Arte did not take it immediately, but hesitated for a moment, as if he did not know Ruan Xiaozhe's intention.

Since he already knew about the misunderstanding between the princess and Genando, Ruan Xiaozhe decided to explain it clearly: "The other students have also taken it, you can eat it without worry."

In fact, they were all paid with silver coins, but Ruan Xiaozhe didn't say it.

Arden Art hesitated for a while, and finally took the bowl with both hands.

It seemed that hunger overcame her hesitation.

Arden Art nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup into his mouth.

She ate one mouthful after another, faster and faster. It seemed that the soup was very much to her taste.

"You can go in and eat." Ruan Xiaozhe said somewhat embarrassedly as he looked at the other party's actions.

His words startled Arden Arte, who suddenly stopped the spoon in his hand.

"Hmm..." She nodded slightly again, then closed the door and walked into her room.

"Did I say too much?" Ruan Xiaozhe recalled the other person's sullen look at him just now, feeling somewhat puzzled.

After he returned to the lounge, the followers of Arden Art who were waiting there came forward to express their gratitude.

"Vodanaz, Your Highness the Princess..."

"She likes it very much." Ruan Xiaozhe replied.

"You are amazing! You are such an outstanding chef!"

"Everything tastes good when you're hungry..." Ruan Xiaozhe said modestly.

"Can I continue to ask you for favors in the future? We will pay you in silver coins, and we hope you can send some food to Her Royal Highness the Princess when you have it."

"...dedication to the royal family is the honor of the nobility." Ruan Xiaozhe blurted out, which surprised even himself.

"The royal family is truly amazing." Ruan Xiaozhe said enviously in his heart.

The fact that bloodline alone could attract so many followers made Ruan Xiaozhe feel the power of bloodline again.

Of course, Guenando is an exception...

……

The main building of the Magic Academy, basement level.

In the class "Repeated Practice of Basic Magic Combat".

At this moment, the vampire professor Vladi Bergerek was lost in thought, although outsiders could not tell whether he was deep in thought or not, because he always had a numb expression.

"The only student left now."

“How can I get this student to continue taking this course?”

“It’s really difficult.”

Originally, Professor Frady was not interested in attracting students to his classes; his contract was to teach the courses, not to recruit students.

But things are a little different now.

That young man from the Vodanaz family possesses quite powerful magical powers!

Can I find another student like him? The chances are slim!

If I miss it this time, I don’t know how many years I will have to wait before I can come across a good seedling again!

Moreover, the next student may not have the same qualifications as this young man.

After thinking it over, Professor Vladi said, "Any questions?"

"……what?"

Ruan Xiaozhe, who was concentrating on using magic to transform gems, looked up in surprise.

"Why are you asking this question suddenly?"

"Did my laziness just now get seen through?"
