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

Chapter 9 Why does this praise feel weird?

Magic, this mysterious power, has been given countless names in different cultures.

In the far eastern tribes, it is reverently called "Air", scholars who are keen on exploring the nature of the world give it the name "Ether", and those priests who adhere to their faith regard it as a "sacred power."

No matter how many aliases it has, for magicians, it is the source of their power and the key to changing the world!

Casting magic means releasing one's own magic power every time. For young magicians who lack skills and experience, insufficient magic power has almost become a norm.

However, in today's class, a student named Ruan Xiaozhe was so tenacious that he actually persisted until the eighth attempt! This surprised everyone.

"Student, what is your name?" Professor Garcia asked curiously.

"My name is Ruan Xiaozhe." Ruan Xiaozhe replied with a hint of firmness in his voice.

Professor Garcia smiled and nodded. He liked that Ruan Xiaozhe did not mention his family name but directly gave his own name.

In this era where family is a source of pride, it is rare for aristocrats to be able to emerge as individuals without relying on their family background. This coincides with the concept of "equality" that the school has always advocated.

"Ruan Xiaozhe, come here." Troll Professor Garcia gestured.

Although Ruan Xiaozhe was a little nervous, he still walked over obediently.

"Well, not bad." Professor Garcia gently patted Ruan Xiaozhe's wrist holding the magic wand and nodded in praise.

Genando, who was standing behind Ruan Xiaozhe, whispered to Yunel, "Should we remind him to take a break? Will there be any problems if he continues like this?"

"Then, maybe that troll professor will eat Ruan Xiaozhe." Ganando winked.

"Shh, the professor has very sharp ears, little fool." Yunel reminded softly.

Genando instantly realized that he had spoken out of turn and fell silent.

"Okay, Ruan Xiaozhe." Professor Garcia released Ruan Xiaozhe's wrist and continued, "Stay for a while after class."

"Yes, professor." Ruan Xiaozhe replied respectfully.

In the following time, "Basic Magic Understanding" did not carry out specific magic training as usual. Instead, Professor Garcia began to seriously talk about the mentality that a magician should have.

"When you feel your magic power is running out, be sure to take a break. This is especially true for beginners like you! Don't get anxious because of the lack of magic power."

"As your training progresses, your magic power will gradually increase, your skills will become more and more proficient, and your magic power consumption will decrease accordingly."

"Some freshmen are so enthusiastic that they practice magic privately, which often leads to fainting or even injury. So, I emphasize again that you must never do this!"

"Also, Mr. Ganando, my next words are not directed at you. I am just reminding everyone. Please rest assured that I do not eat students!"

As soon as Professor Garcia finished speaking, Genando lowered his head in embarrassment and apologized repeatedly: "I'm...I'm sorry, professor."

"Okay, that's all for today's class." Professor Garcia waved his hand. "In addition to the required courses, the school also offers a variety of elective courses for you to choose from."

“You can go for a trial and see what you’re interested in. If you’re not sure what you want to study, you can come and consult me.”

The students nodded in understanding, then exchanged looks that said, “Can you imagine going to Professor Troll’s office for a one-on-one consultation?

Amid the students' whispers and worried looks, Ruan Xiaozhe stood in front of Professor Garcia.

His heart was beating fast, not knowing what would happen next.

"Ruan Xiaozhe, actually I've heard of your name a long time ago." Professor Garcia's words surprised Ruan Xiaozhe, and he blinked in confusion.

"Would you be more surprised if I told you that I heard it from that crazy skeleton principal?" Professor Garcia said with a smile, a hint of teasing in his tone.

Ruan Xiaozhe's face turned stiff in an instant. When he heard about the crazy but insightful Skeleton Principal Os, he became even more nervous.

"Don't worry, although the principal's behavior is strange, he has a good heart." Professor Garcia comforted him, but it did not seem to completely dispel Ruan Xiaozhe's doubts.

"Really?" Ruan Xiaozhe asked back doubtfully, but his heart was full of curiosity about the principal.

“Every year when new students enter the school, the president personally examines them and then gives the professors some brief advice,” Professor Garcia continued, as if telling a secret.

"Hey, kid from the Vodanaz family, be careful." A student whispered a kind reminder, his voice full of fear of the troll professor.

"Yeah, the trolls' weaknesses are fire and acid," another student added, but then realized that there were no such things here.

"But there's nothing here?" Another student muttered to himself, but his voice was loud enough for Ruan Xiaozhe and Professor Garcia to hear.

Professor Garcia chuckled and shook his head, as if he was amused by the concerns of these young students.

"The principal's comments on freshmen are always so unique." Professor Troll didn't care about the attitude of the student next to him, and just sighed, "He told me that you have a 'stupid talent'."

"Stupid talent?" Ruan Xiaozhe widened his eyes and asked in confusion.

"Yes, stupid talent." Professor Garcia repeated, "This means that although you look a little clumsy or different on the surface, you actually have great potential!"

"This... Am I really that great?" It was the first time that Ruan Xiaozhe was flattered like this, and he found it a little unbelievable.

"Yeah, that's what the principal meant."

Professor Garcia concluded, “He thinks that even though you may look a little silly now, you will definitely achieve great things in the future!”

"..."

Hearing this awkward compliment, Ruan Xiaozhe felt indescribably weird inside.

However, other professors at the college had mixed reactions to the president’s comments.

Some people thought that the principal was over-praising Ruan Xiaozhe's potential, while others thought that the principal might just be talking nonsense after drinking.

But no matter what, the fact that Ruan Xiaozhe is able to persist in his eighth magic attempt is enough to prove the principal's sharp vision.

"Well...what did the principal say specifically?" Ruan Xiaozhe hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask this question.

"Didn't he say anything else? Just kept praising me?"
