All-around teacher at the magic academy

In a lavishly decorated room, every detail exudes aristocratic taste and luxury.

The walls are adorned with exquisite paintings, the floor is covered with soft Persian carpets, and the carefully selected furniture, whether it be intricately carved wooden tables and chairs or jewel-encrusted ornaments, all reflect the owner's distinguished status.

Raphael was standing by a tall window, his hands resting lightly on the windowsill, gazing intently at the scenery outside.

Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside, breaking the tranquility.

As the door opened, a clear and excited voice reached Raphael's ears: "Brother, tomorrow is Emma's birthday party, do you want to go?"

Aurora walked in like a cheerful spring breeze, wearing an elegant black dress and beaming with undisguised joy.

Her eyes sparkled, clearly filled with anticipation for the upcoming banquet.

Raphael snapped out of his reverie by the window, turned around, and looked at his sister.

A gentle smile appeared on his face. "Yes, of course I'll go."

He said gently, "The Duke of Chloe has already sent out invitations; how can we be absent from such an occasion?"

"Shall we go together tomorrow?"

A sharp glint appeared in Raphael's eyes, and he smiled slightly, as if he could see through his sister's thoughts.

"Are you saying you don't want to go together?"

He asked gently, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

Aurora was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Raphael to see through her little scheme so quickly.

She quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, brother, that's not what I meant."

Her eyes darted away; in fact, she really didn't want to go with Raphael.

She knew that attending banquets with him meant she had to be mindful of etiquette and maintain a dignified demeanor, but deep down, she longed to have some fun and enjoy the carefree joy of being unrestrained.

Raphael couldn't help but chuckle at Aurora's slightly awkward demeanor.

He knew Aurora too well; he knew she had always longed to break free from constraints and fully enjoy life.

So he smiled and said, "It's okay, Aurora. Just go find your friends, you don't need to come with me. You can have as much fun as you want without worrying too much."

Hearing Raphael say that, Aurora's eyes lit up instantly, and her smile became even brighter. "Really? That's wonderful!"

As Raphael watched Aurora's excited expression, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

“Oh, right, Aurora,” he suddenly suggested, as if remembering something important, “I heard you say last time that Professor Leon talked to you about some new theories? Could you tell me about them?”

Upon hearing this, Aurora immediately perked up.

"Yes, brother!"

She responded enthusiastically, "It's the theory of elemental magic fusion. You have no idea how amazing this theory is. It explores how to fuse different elemental magics together to create more powerful and unique magical effects."

I feel like I've opened the door to a whole new world; you've definitely never seen anything so amazing!

As she spoke, her eyes revealed a deep appreciation and respect for Leon.

Every time Leon was mentioned, her eyes would light up uncontrollably, as if she were talking about a heroic figure.

Raphael listened to Aurora's description and couldn't help but feel amazed.

“I’ve never heard of such a theory before,” he remarked with admiration. “It seems this Professor Leon is truly learned!”

Aurora nodded excitedly when she heard her brother praise Teacher Leon.

“That’s right!” she said proudly. “I feel that Professor Leon knows everything. Whether it’s magical theory or practical skills, he has mastered them to perfection. Compared to him, those old guys in the palace are simply not worth mentioning.”

"Oh? In that case, Professor Leon is indeed a remarkable person."

He said, "I also have some questions about magic that I don't quite understand. I wonder if I might have the opportunity to ask Teacher Leon for guidance?"

Aurora looked puzzled upon hearing Raphael's words. "Is there anything you don't understand?"

Raphael looked at Aurora, chuckled, and shook his head. "What? Do you think I can do everything?"

Aurora pursed her lips. She wasn't surprised because she thought Raphael was omnipotent, but because in her memory, Raphael had always been the kind of person who was stubborn.

Even when he encounters a problem he doesn't understand, he won't easily say it out loud. Instead, he will try to figure it out himself and never let others know that there are still things he doesn't know.

This resilience and independence are both his strengths and something that sometimes leaves Aurora feeling helpless.

Raphael looked at Aurora's expression and immediately understood what she was thinking. He smiled indifferently; he had no need to hide anything from his sister.

After all, Aurora had been secretly observing him practice magic since he was a child.

"It's alright, Professor Leon is a very nice person. He has never refused a student's question."

Raphael gently shook his head and said with a smile, "But I'm not a student."

A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "Besides, can you bear to watch me ask a teacher at the academy for help?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "academy" and "teacher," as if to stress the difference in their identities.

Aurora frowned in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Raphael looked at Aurora's innocent expression and sighed softly, "Different statuses."

Upon hearing Raphael's words, Aurora lowered her head; she understood what he meant.

Indeed, he had always been like that, valuing his status above all else. She knew that Raphael wasn't unwilling to learn; he simply had his own principles and bottom line.

Aurora looked up, a determined glint in her eyes. "How about this? What questions do you have? I'll ask Professor Leon for you."

Hearing his sister's words, Raphael's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. This was exactly what he wanted.

Raphael walked slowly to the desk, his gaze falling on the paper that had already been neatly arranged.

His movements were gentle and cautious, as if afraid of disturbing the secret on the paper. He gently picked up the paper and handed it to Aurora, who was standing to the side.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Raphael's voice carried a hint of expectation, but also a touch of helplessness.

Aurora took the paper, her eyes fixed on its contents. There weren't many symbols and words on it, but to her, it was like a foreign language, utterly incomprehensible.

"What is this drawing?" Aurora asked curiously.

Raphael shrugged and replied helplessly, "I don't know. If I knew, would I need to ask?"

Aurora nodded slightly in understanding. She carefully folded the paper and put it in her pocket.

“Okay, I’ll ask Professor Leon,” she said, preparing to leave.

Raphael quickly instructed, "Remember, don't say I asked you. Just say you saw these symbols while studying and don't understand their meaning."

"Know it."

Aurora waved her hand, looking somewhat impatient. "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Yes, thank you, Aurora."
