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

"Indeed."

Just as the warehouse had blind storekeepers, so surely there were guards in the stables.

“But it’s not a bad thing.”

Having a solution is always better than having no solution at all, and this is already hopeful.

Especially since this method has already been successful by someone else, then Ruan Xiaozhe has a great chance of succeeding as well.

"Thank you, senior."

“…This guy…has figured out a solution based on just this little clue? Who is he?!”

At this point, the other side's misunderstanding deepened.

……

"You are released, Ruan Xiaozhe of the Vodanaz family."

A day later, the Undead Jailer opened the door.

Before Ruan Xiaozhe walked out of the room, he stuffed a few more pieces of chocolate into the hands of the senior student sitting next to him.

Thanks to this senior whom he had never met before, he heard a lot of useful information.

Although the other party spoke less and less and seemed to be getting more and more depressed, Ruan Xiaozhe just thought that the other party was annoyed. After all, anyone would feel annoyed if a stranger kept talking to them.

Despite this, the other party was still willing to answer, so Ruan Xiaozhe was still grateful.

"I must thank him properly when we meet next time."

Ruan Xiaozhe was taken out of the underground punishment room via a complicated route, just like when he came.

At this moment, it was getting light outside and the sun was about to rise.

"Hmmmm, this looks like a kitchen."

Returning to his room, Ruan Xiaozhe looked around and couldn't help but be surprised.

As he brought the food out of the punishment room, his room looked like a neat kitchen or food store, filled with all kinds of food everywhere.

The shelves were filled with seasonings such as salt, sugar, and tea, as well as cans of apricots, peaches, and pineapples, not to mention canned beans, salmon, and corned beef to satisfy your hunger.

These foods alone are more than enough for Ruan Xiaozhe to eat for several weeks!

"If I take it seriously, I can open a small shop."

However, he would think about opening a store later. Ruan Xiaozhe decided to challenge the task assigned by the professor in the last basic riding training class first.

So as soon as it was daybreak, he decided to go to the stable to have a look.

"Ruan Xiaozhe?"

When he was about to go out, a red-haired girl came down yawning, and when she saw him, she asked in surprise: "Where did you go yesterday?"

"The punishment room. Didn't the professors tell you about that?"

"No, Professor Garcia said you made a great contribution, you are injured, and you are resting."

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe probably understood why Professor Garcia lied.

For young men and women from noble families, reputation is more important than one might imagine. Moreover, Ruan Xiaozhe is a member of the Vodanaz family. If it were to be reported that he was sent to the punishment room for making a mistake, wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?

Besides, he didn't do anything wrong, he was just arrested for helping Professor Garcia...

"Actually, I wanted to sneak out of school, but I was caught." Of course, Ruan Xiaozhe didn't care about that.

Fortunately, Yunel didn't care either.

"Why go alone?"

"Because the information is uncertain, I want to confirm it myself first."

"Let's go together next time. Two people is worse than one person."

"Then do you want to take Nelia with you?"

"Well, that's a good idea. Let's take Nelia with us."

Neilia, who was not present, was forced to join, but the two did not care.

Yunel tilted his head and asked, "What happened?"

On the way to the stable, Ruan Xiaozhe slowly recounted what happened, from his speculation about the underground passage, to the method of passing through it, to the warehouse and the administrator guarding the warehouse...

Yunel was stunned and his eyes widened: "So, when you went out, you found someone waiting for you?"

"Yes."

"headmaster?"

"No, the anti-magicians of the Empire."

"!!?"

Yunel was stunned.

What Professor Garcia said turned out to be true, the anti-magicists were actually hiding around the school!

"So you really did make a great contribution!?"

"Then I was put in the punishment room."

"...Why???" Yunel didn't understand at all.

Why on earth?

……

There were already several students in the stable at this time, they were all students of the Black Turtle Tower.

After seeing Ruan Xiaozhe and Yunair, the other party began to retreat quietly.

Seeing this situation, Yunel didn't seem to care, but Ruan Xiaozhe was a little hurt.

"This trend of judging people by appearance and family background should really disappear!"

Of course, the students of the Black Turtle Tower did not act like this because of his family background, but because they heard the rumors about him and were afraid of him...but Ruan Xiaozhe was not aware of this.

"that……"

"!"

A student from the Black Turtle Tower spoke tentatively, and Ruan Xiaozhe turned back happily.

She greeted me in this situation, could it be Neilia?

However, it was not the case. The one who spoke was Ratford from the Rat Orc tribe.

"Good morning, Lord Vodanaz." Ratford said respectfully, as if he were his superior.

Ruan Xiaozhe suddenly felt uncomfortable. Could you please not be like this? Anyone who saw this would think that you were forced to be so respectful!

"Hey, relax." Ruan Xiaozhe said speechlessly.

"It's easier for me this way." Ratford still kept his back straight.

For Ratford, who had been in the Thieves Guild since childhood, using honorifics to address his superiors was a natural thing.

Strict superior-subordinate relationships and obedience are his real comfort zone.

"..."

Seeing the fear in the eyes of the students in the Black Turtle Tower deepen, Ruan Xiaozhe shook his head helplessly: "This is really hopeless."

"Okay, whatever you want." Ruan Xiaozhe looked at Ratford half-giving up.

In fact, Ruan Xiaozhe was also very curious about what happened after the last battle.

Ruan Xiaozhe fell down right after the fight, and he and Ratford never met again...

"What happened after that?"

"Yes, I hid as you instructed. After the battle, the principal and other professors arrived."

"Well done, just don't get hurt."

"The workers were distracted, so I took the opportunity to search the boxes in the carriage, pried open the locks, and took out some useful things. Because I had to hide them on my body, I only picked out small items to bring out and prepare to give them to you."

Ratford said, handing over a small open box filled with medicine bottles.

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe was speechless for a moment, and sighed in his heart: "He is indeed a real thief!"
