A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

He didn't want to explain, because the more he explained, the more complicated it became.

“It seems they’ve tacitly agreed,” Alger murmured.

Aaron had just pushed open the second door when he heard his whisper, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

“Lord Arg, I feel it is necessary for me to remind you,” Genes said hesitantly, “Young Master is currently not interested in such matters, and is even quite resistant to them.”

Alger, however, didn't care. Who can predict the future?

Upon entering the second secret room, Leon, just like Aaron when he first came here, hugged a trash can and vomited.

"You can meet the ancestor Moor; his medical skills were unparalleled."

If you're interested, you can watch how he dissects the human body; his superb skills and meticulous attitude will definitely leave a lasting impression.

“There’s no need for that. I’m worried he’ll dissect me.” Leon hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Aaron, how many secret rooms does your house actually have?”

"Actually, I don't know either," Aaron said frankly. On the surface, their family has nearly two hundred secret rooms, but the real number is probably more than that.

Vico had produced a bunch of keys, but there were some he didn't recognize, and he had no idea what doors those keys could open.

Leon paused for a moment, then understood what Aaron meant.

"You're somewhat incompetent as heir."

"Well, I'm a special case!" Aaron said helplessly. "Besides, I'm just the heir now, not the patriarch. Isn't it only natural that I don't know all the secrets?"

Upon hearing this, Lyon also chose to change the subject.

Of the four reclusive families, Gaius is the most special, and it's none of his business how Uncle Vico arranges his son's life.

"If I may ask, is there an ancestor presiding over each secret chamber?"

"Of course not, I currently know of only twenty-eight people who can communicate normally."

Gulu!

Lyon swallowed hard.

"Um... just take me to the library!"

"Not going to visit anymore?"

“This isn’t a visit, it’s a visit,” Lyon said dejectedly. “And the people I’m visiting are all highly respected. I’m not Gaius, after all. Meeting one or two people is fine, but meeting more than twenty in a row is a bit outrageous.”

"So that's what you're worried about!" Aaron chuckled. "Apart from Wicht and Ancestor Flo, the others need me to summon them to appear."

In other words, you only need to meet one or two people.

"I didn't tell you earlier."

"Why didn't you ask sooner!"

Next, Aaron showed Leon around Vaughn's music room, Salkes' kitchen, Lant's botanical garden, Diat's library...

Lyon finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he reached the twenty-ninth room.

He looked at Aaron with a complicated expression and said with emotion, "I thought the education I received since childhood was amazing enough, but compared to you, it's nothing."

Today, Lyon has truly broadened his horizons. He completed nearly thirty courses over two summers, something he himself admitted he could never have done.

How did you manage to persevere?

"Talent, plus...human will."

Lyon: ......

"Speak like a normal person, don't I know you?"

Aaron sighed and pushed open the door to the thirtieth secret room, which was the wine cellar.

As Lyon smelled the various aromas of alcohol in the air, his lips twitched violently. "Drowning your sorrows in alcohol, your family arranged this way too smoothly, didn't you?"

“This kind of treatment is only for me.” Aaron poured himself a glass of ale and took a big gulp. “My father and grandfather were a little less talented, so all they had to do was protect the family.”

But I'm different; nobody knows what world I'm going to.

In short... when you're out in the world, having many skills is never a bad thing.

"Hahaha!" Leon laughed, clutching his stomach, and said gleefully, "This is the first time I've ever heard of someone with great talent suffering like this."

Hearing this, Aaron clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to hit someone. "The hardest days are over. Things are much easier now than they were two years ago. At least I don't have to run away from home anymore."

“It’s been quite tough,” Lyon said, leaving the wine cellar. “I don’t know how to comfort you, or rather, I don’t think I’m qualified to comfort you.”

Although this is not the path you chose, it is one that others yearn for but cannot obtain. Although it is difficult to walk, the future is bright.

If I could, I'd like to switch places with you.

"You wish! This is a privilege of my family."

"Good to know." Leon pursed his lips. "I'm going to the library now, so I won't disturb your class."

Aaron took a deep breath, downed the ale in one gulp, and then returned to Wicht's secret chamber.

He has already mastered the basics of elemental magic. This holiday he needs to learn some advanced nature transformations, and it would be even better if he could learn some magic circles with other functions.

However, his request was sternly rejected by Vicht, "You haven't even finished learning elemental magic, and you want to learn other things?"

“Ancestor, you were right,” Aaron said weakly, then changed the subject, “but you also know that elemental magic is primarily offensive magic…”

"That's because you're only thinking about increasing power," Vicht said irritably. "You only know some basic moves for defense and support, it's embarrassing to even admit it."

Aaron: ......

"Okay! I'll compromise."

I will explore other applications of the elements during this holiday.

"Is that what I meant?" Vicht said speechlessly, "In the past, elemental mages could live off mastering just one attribute for a lifetime. Don't you think you're being too greedy?"

"Without greed, nothing can be accomplished," Aaron said in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing."

"Sigh!" Wichett sighed helplessly. "I'll teach you one more method at most, but don't push your luck."

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Seal it." Aaron said without hesitation. At this stage, sealing magic was of no help to him, but he instinctively felt that this magic would be of great use in the future.

Upon hearing this, the helplessness on Vicht's face turned into relief.

"I thought you would ask me to teach you more destructive magic, but it seems you have a bit more foresight than I thought."

Aaron chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head. "So, Ancestor, you agreed?"

“Agreed, why not?” Vicht said meaningfully, then slowly extended his right hand.

Five elemental magic circles—water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder—formed a pentagram in mid-air, which was then connected by an outer magic ring to form a five-pointed star array.

"do you understand?"

"I understand." Aaron couldn't help but swallow. "I underestimated elemental magic."

“You still have a lot to learn,” Vihert explained earnestly. “In my time, everyone had a different understanding of magic. Elements with the same properties had thousands of different uses, and this is just one of them.”

"Ancestor, if I may ask, how long would it take me to master all elemental magic?"

Of course, this is under forbidden magic.

“With your talent…” Vicht frowned in thought, and after a dozen seconds he held up three fingers.

"Three years."

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief; he could barely accept this timeframe.

Add a zero at the end.

“Watfa…” Aaron almost couldn’t catch his breath, “Thirty years.”

"This is still a conservative estimate; it's already quite remarkable."

"Hehe!" Aaron squatted down, his pupils appearing somewhat dim.

He could grit his teeth and persevere for three years, but thirty years...

By then, he might have already broken through to godhood, and further research into elemental magic would be of little significance.

“That’s what it means to have endless learning,” Vicht comforted him. “Elemental magic of the same level doesn’t differ much in power; knowing how to use it simply is enough.”

Aaron forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "I can use it now, even in a simple way."

“Really? That’s impressive.” Vicht clapped his hands. “However, your understanding and what I’m saying might not be the same thing.”

Can it be instantaneous? Can it be stacked multiple times? Can it provide both defense and support? Yes...

"Can you stop talking now?" Aaron interrupted before the fourth blow could even begin after enduring three critical hits. "I'll do whatever you say this holiday, okay?"

Vicht immediately revealed a 'teachable' smile, "Our ancestors won't let you suffer. If you perform well enough, I can teach you some other tricks."

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, we can make a contract."

"There's no need for that. I trust my ancestor's character," Aaron said with a forced smile.

Wichter shrugged and began assigning Aaron tutoring tasks for the holiday.

He started by practicing with the simplest basic elemental magic circles to solidify his foundation. In addition, Vihert would spend half an hour to an hour each day practicing with him.

Every time Aaron emerged from this secret room, he was covered in wounds and bruises of all sizes.

This left Lyon stunned and furious, and he was about to go to Wicht to protest.

But after learning how fiercely his ancestor had fought and slaughtered everyone in his life, he resolutely chose to follow his heart and said that he could not help him.

It seemed that Lant had known he would get injured all along. While Aaron was learning about plants from him, he prepared a large amount of medicinal herbs so that Aaron would be full of energy to take the beating the next day.

Only then did Aaron understand Genes's 'good intentions'. No wonder he only arranged a few major courses during the holiday. It wasn't that he didn't want to arrange more, but rather that Aaron's energy didn't support him arranging more.

Vihert delivers a spectacular beating, Lant heals his wounds, then they go to the library to test what they've learned, and finally Flo gets a psychological consultation.

After the all-inclusive service, if you still have time, you can go to other escape rooms to relax and relieve stress.

It has to be said that this schedule is really professional. If he couldn't feel his own strength improving every day, he would definitely go all out to fight Genes. Is this how a butler treats his young master?
