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

"Hey, what do you think I'm doing now?"

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe's question left Ratford speechless for a moment.

"Could it be that the other party is also a thief?"

"No way...but it seems to be true."

Ratford was completely confused.

"You said we should act together?" asked Ratford in a low voice.

"That's right, you want to find the food storage room, right? Me too." Ruan Xiaozhe answered softly.

"!"

Ratford was shocked for a moment, then calmed down and asked, "Are you really from the Vodanazi family?"

He looked at Ruan Xiaozhe with suspicion.

No matter what you think, this is...

"Do you want to act together, or do you want me to knock you down, and then I can act on my own?"

"Calm down...Calm down, calm down. I agree to act together. One person is not as good as two."

When Ratford saw Ruan Xiaozhe's staff approaching, he quickly waved his hand to signal surrender.

Although he didn't know Ruan Xiaozhe's background, he knew that he would never be able to beat him.

"So, you prepared the key?"

"Yes."

"Can you open it?"

"I can't open it... Normally it should be able to be opened, but it seems to be protected by magic."

Ratterford fiddled anxiously with the keyhole.

If the keyhole was really protected by magic, then there was nothing he could do.

Unless there was a thief's treasure, but now he had nothing...

Click!

"?"

A key flew out of Ruan Xiaozhe's pocket, inserted into the keyhole accurately, and then opened the door easily.

"???"

"Where did this key come from?" asked Ratford in surprise.

"I stole it from the principal's office."

"Are you...joking?"

"No, it's true." Ruan Xiaozhe said seriously.

The last time when he and Asan stayed in the classroom to copy the safety instructions together, Ruan Xiaozhe not only learned magic, but also picked up a key.

I didn't expect that this key turned out to be the key here.

"...It seems I have to be more careful next time." Ruan Xiaozhe thought to himself.

If this is the key left by the principal, it must not be taken lightly.

Ruan Xiaozhe secretly reminded himself not to let this good luck go to his head.

The two walked through the empty banquet hall, passed through the spacious hall, and walked through several closed doors...

"Wait." Ratford suddenly fell to the ground.

"It sounds like someone's voice! It's coming from underground!"

"...!"

Ruan Xiaozhe instantly understood where the workers came from.

“It’s underground!”

If you enter or exit through the main gate or the passage in the city wall, you will not only be discovered by students, but also easily be exploited by them!

In contrast, it is difficult for students to notice if they enter and exit through underground passages.

No wonder the students wandered around everywhere but never saw any workers...

"What the hell is going on in this school?" Ratford asked puzzled.

"There's a sound in the underground storage room. Let's quickly find the way underground!" Ruan Xiaozhe suppressed his inner excitement.

At Ruan Xiaozhe's urging, Ratford quickened his pace.

"really……"

Soon, they found the stairs leading underground.

squeak--

Just walking down a flight of stairs, the air felt different.

There was still moonlight shining through from above, but here it was completely cold and dark.

Ruan Xiaozhe hesitated, whether to use the magic lighting technique?

But his instinct stopped him.

What's more, the key to the principal's office can open this door, which makes Ruan Xiaozhe more alert.

"Given the principal's character, it's not surprising that he has set up a few traps here."

At this moment, Ratford next to him was also groping.

Ruan Xiaozhe reminded in a low voice: "Don't light the fire."

"...What's wrong?" Ratford was very confused. He was not as experienced as Ruan Xiaozhe and did not know how terrifying the Skeleton Principal was.

"Someone may be guarding it." Ruan Xiaozhe threatened him.

"!"

Ratford was shocked by Ruan Xiaozhe's words.

This was indeed an unknown place, and the unfamiliarity and nervousness almost made him get angry.

Fortunately, Ruan Xiaozhe reminded him, otherwise he might have made a big mistake!

"...But who is this guy?" Ratford thought with some palpitations.

Ratford had heard rumors about the young man from the Vodanaz family several times in the Black Turtle Tower.

such as:

"It is said that he is ruthless and has shown leadership in the Azure Dragon Tower."

"Neither the prince nor the princess dared to speak in front of him."

"In the last magic class, he succeeded on his first try at something that others had failed several times."

"During riding lessons, a thunderbird attacked him, and he used magic to suppress and tame it. Can you believe this?"

At first, Ratford thought the rumors were exaggerated.

We are all freshmen, how can we be so awesome?

But now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he had to start believing the rumors.

The oppressive feeling that Ruan Xiaozhe gave him was no joke!

call!

"!"

At this moment, a light suddenly lit up in the distance, illuminating the surroundings!

Ruan Xiaozhe and Ratford didn't even dare to breathe and quickly crouched down.

Although it is not very obvious in the dark, this underground space is obviously a huge storage room.

The shelves and tables are densely packed with various items, filling the entire space.

A warehouse manager walked slowly with a lamp in his hand, and his mumblings were clearly audible in the silence.

"Cheese... 8 pieces, confirmed."

"Maple syrup... 5 bottles, confirmed."

"White fire paper... 22 sheets, confirmed."

"Silver Needles... 3, confirmed."

……

"He actually remembered all the numbers?!" Ruan Xiaozhe looked at the other party in shock.

"Huh? The alarm magic has weakened. It needs to be reapplied." The warehouse manager muttered.

Following a surge of magical power, the warehouse keeper began to re-enchant the items here.

Ruan Xiaozhe felt a chill.

All items are enchanted with alarm?!

Fortunately, they didn’t tamper with anything, otherwise they would have been caught long ago!

"Who is it?" the warehouse manager suddenly shouted.

"!"

Both of them felt a tightness in their hearts.

The warehouse manager actually looked directly in their direction!

"Based on the angle, it should be impossible for them to see us, right?" Ruan Xiaozhe suddenly broke out in sweat.

Ratford was also frightened and petrified on the spot.

Despite his confusion, Ruan Xiaozhe still tried to remain calm.

How did the other party find them? Was it a test? Was it too late to use the invisibility magic?

"...!"

At this moment, when Ruan Xiaozhe saw the warehouse manager's face, he was shocked.

The warehouse manager's eyes were tightly wrapped with cloth. Is he actually blind?!
