What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

Selena smiled and said, "Yes, it was made in the kitchen at the manor. I'm so glad you like it."

"It's rare to find a place to rest, why doesn't Sister Selena take a good rest for a few days?"

“I can’t stay idle, and besides… Ron, you have the aptitude to be a mage, but I don’t. I have to do something for you…”

As Selena spoke, her smile faded slightly. She looked down at her hands, at the calluses from her hard work, and whispered:

"This is the only thing I can do now."

Selena has no magical aptitude.

They also lack the qualifications to become professionals.

But this is actually normal. If professional qualifications were so easy to obtain, there wouldn't be so many ordinary people in the world.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Selena will likely drift further and further away from Ron in the future. In fact, if Selena weren't Ron's sister, she probably would have been abandoned in a refugee camp from the very beginning.

Instead of living here with Ron, residing in the Viscount's estate.

Selena may have been worried that Ron would abandon her, which is why she took the initiative to find things to do.

Ron isn't really good at comforting people.

After hearing Selena's words, Ron simply finished the lunch Selena had brought him in silence, and then casually said to her:

"I will study magic diligently."

"Ah."

"Let's learn magic, then destroy the monsters and avenge everyone... Once everything is at peace, Sister Selena, let's open a bakery."

"bakery?"

"Yes, with Selena's skills, it would be a shame if she didn't open a bakery. I'll help you then."

As Ron spoke, he turned to Selena with a smile, a hint of smugness in his eyes: "By then, we'll name it 'The Great Magician's Bakery,' and I, the future Saint-level magician, will be its spokesperson! I guarantee it will be a hit!"

"Pfft..." Seeing Ron's confident look, Selena couldn't help but laugh: "A Saint-level mage... As long as you can become a formal mage, I'll be satisfied."

Selena's laughter dispelled the heaviness from before.

Seeing Selena smile, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

My behavior just now should be pretty much what a normal kid would say... But then again, did I just set some kind of incredible goal for myself?

Once there's peace, I'll open a bakery or something... I feel like it wouldn't be surprising if I died somewhere any second from now on.

And then it became a crucial memory for Selena's future power spike... Ugh, damn it, why do you have such a vivid imagination!

Ron's thoughts drifted again, while Selena picked up her plate and prepared to leave.

She was going to take the empty plates back to the kitchen's dishwashing area.

But as she was leaving, Selena said to Ron again:

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Vito asked me to tell you that he will be explaining the basics of magic at one o'clock this afternoon, so please don't be late."

After speaking, Selena hesitated for a moment, then added, "But Mr. Vito also said that if you master the meditation method, it's okay to be late... Although I don't quite understand what he means, but... is it really okay?"

A basic magic course?

Ron glanced at the wall clock in the room.

It's only a little past 11 a.m., there's still a long way to go before 1 p.m.

After a moment's thought, Ron replied, "I understand, thank you, Sister Selena. I'll be there on time."

The basic magic class at 1 p.m. was actually unnecessary for Ron.

Since Vito has said so, it proves that the main content of this class is an explanation of basic mental meditation methods.

Ron has already made some initial progress in mastering the art of mental meditation on the Beast Continent.

He has even learned how to manipulate mental energy.

However, even so, since Vito and the others intend to conceal Ron's qualifications, it wouldn't be good for Ron not to attend classes.

After all, his apparent aptitude level is only average, which is not high enough to qualify him to skip classes at will.

In conclusion

Ron arrived at Vito's room a little before 1 a.m.

"Um...is this Mr. Vito's room?"

When Ron followed the maid from the manor to Vito's room, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The door to Vito's room was wide open, revealing the entire interior.

However, the furnishings inside were not the kind of things like 'beds', 'cabinets', or 'desks'; instead, there were many tables arranged side by side.

It doesn't look like a place to rest at all; it looks more like some of the cram schools Ron attended in his previous life.

The 'tutoring center' was already packed with people.

“Yes, this is Mr. Vito’s room,” the maid answered Ron’s question calmly.

"Huh? Another one? Seriously, are they all late for magic class? Commoners are just commoners."

As Ron was still observing, disdainful jeers echoed from the room.

Ron looked toward the 'tutoring center', and in the front row, a little girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with golden twin tails, was looking at Ron with disdain.

Ron stared at the little girl for a moment, but she seemed unfamiliar.

Looking around the room, besides the little girl, there were several other children of similar age whom Ron had never seen before.

"Ron, come here quickly!"

As Ron was looking around, a boy dressed in ordinary clothes waved to him from inside the room.

Ron knows this person.

He was one of the civilians who passed the magician qualification test with him yesterday in the refugee camp square.

Moreover, it has top-tier qualifications.

Once he was sure there was someone he knew there, Ron went into the room and approached that person.

Once he sat down next to the boy, Ron asked him in a low voice:

"...Who are these people?"

“They are children with magical talent from within the viscountry, but most of them are commoners like us, except for that one over there…”

The boy with short black hair gestured towards the blond twin-tailed girl with his lips, his voice very soft:

"She is the lord's daughter, and she also has the aptitude to be a mage, just like me."

"Superior aptitude?"

"It seems so..."

"Hey! You commoners over there, shut up! Honestly, the teacher hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already chattering away. You have no manners at all."

Ron and the dark-haired boy's hushed conversation must have been overheard by the blonde twin-tailed boy.

She probably didn't hear what the discussion was about, but only heard the two whispering, so she immediately stood up and told them to shut up.

He looked... a bit like a class monitor trying to maintain order.

However, although this young lady always talks about being a commoner, she doesn't actually have any airs of being a rich lady.

They were more like the exceptionally disciplined students Ron had encountered in his previous life.

Therefore, Ron did not find the young lady's attitude offensive.

At least she didn't use her status as a young lady to kick everyone out, did she?

"Oh, it seems everyone has arrived."

As everyone fell silent, Vito, the teacher, walked in from outside the door.

Upon entering, he glanced at Ron several times, then nodded slightly to Ron before greeting the others.

He then placed the prepared 'lesson plan' on the table.

Ron's first magic lesson in this other world has officially begun.

Chapter 28 Kids are so easy to fool.

As Ron had expected, Vito's first magic lesson was a basic course on meditation.

Therefore, what we learn is not the three elements of magic, but the three rules related to meditation.

According to Ron's understanding, meditation is similar to martial arts techniques or internal energy cultivation.

With meditation, magicians can condense magical power and form magical seeds within their bodies; otherwise, no matter how high their aptitude, they cannot effectively refine magical power.

The conditions for learning meditation are quite simple for qualified magicians.

The first step is to clear your mind and close your eyes to meditate.

The second step is to visualize, in your mind, magical runes that align with your own cultivation system, following the steps outlined in the meditation method.

The third step is to communicate with the magic runes and actively attract magic to condense within your body.
