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

Each magical communication completes a full cycle within the body's magical pathways.

Successfully completing one full cycle of magic means you've successfully entered the beginner level of meditation.

It sounds simple, at least to Ron.

However, for most mediocre mages, being able to successfully complete one magic cycle within a week is considered passing.

“When practicing meditation, you must be especially careful not to visualize a second magic rune before you have fully mastered the meditation technique.”

In class, Vito was very patient, explaining to everyone in a soft voice. He looked at everyone and said in a serious tone:

"Otherwise, at best the meditation will fail and you will suffer a backlash from the magic; at worst, it may even destroy the magic seed that you have worked so hard to condense."

He paused briefly, then looked at everyone and asked, "Does anyone know what would happen if the Seed of Magic were destroyed?"

"!"

The blonde heiress sitting in the front row raised her hand forcefully.

"Yes, Miss Denise."

"You'll lose your qualification to become a magician!" said the blonde girl with twin tails named Denise in a loud voice.

A smile appeared on Vito's face: "Very good, Miss Denise is absolutely right."

Gryffindor gets a point?

Ron internally complained.

It's no wonder Ron thought that way; the current situation really does resemble a magic class at a magic academy.

But this was clearly not Hogwarts, and Denise wasn't a Gryffindor student, so Vito didn't give Denise any extra points. After offering a compliment, he turned to the crowd again and said:

"Yes, the Seed of Magic, or what you might call the Seed of Energy, is the core of all professionals. Once the core is destroyed, it is very difficult to condense it successfully again in the future."

"This also means that you will lose the possibility of becoming professionals."

"Teacher Vito, but under normal circumstances, the Seed of Magic should be very difficult to destroy, right? Is it possible to destroy the Seed of Magic just by meditating and observing the second rune?"

Ron then asked.

No sooner had he finished asking than Denise said with displeasure, "Hey! Commoner! Isn't it common sense to raise your hand before asking a question? That's so rude!"

Ron: "..."

“It’s alright,” Vito said with a smile. “This isn’t a formal classroom, so anyone can speak freely.”

After saying that, he looked at Ron and replied, "Normally, once a seed of magic takes shape, it is very difficult to destroy. Not to mention that there are four stages after the seed of magic: 'taking root,' 'growing,' 'maturity,' and 'bearing fruit.' The further along it goes, the more difficult it is to destroy the seed of magic."

"But that's from an external perspective."

"external……"

"Yes, the Seed of Magic is very strong, but it is also very fragile. If you want to destroy the Seed of Magic on your own, it is actually a very simple thing."

"And visualizing different magical runes can easily cause the seed of magic to self-destruct..."

Different magics have different elements, so the magical paths that travel during visualization will also be different.

Rashly visualizing different magical runes can easily cause conflicts between magical pathways, leading to overload of the magical seed and its self-destruction.

That's roughly what Teacher Weituo meant.

Vito's lesson lasted a long time, until it was almost dinnertime, when he stopped and told everyone to go back and review the lesson.

However, after everyone left the 'tutoring center', Vito suddenly called out to Ron.

"Ron, if I'm not mistaken, you should have already mastered the basics of meditation, right?"

When Vito called out to Ron, that was the first thing he said.

Ron was very surprised to hear this: "Professor Vito, can you tell?"

“For professionals, it’s quite obvious,” Vito said with a light laugh. “The professionals who first mastered meditation techniques can experience very noticeable fluctuations in their mental energy, which will take about three to five days to disappear.”

"I see."

This was the first time Ron had known this.

"Therefore, I would like to suggest that you do not go out for the next few days, and wait for that senior mage from the Mage's Guild to arrive before we talk about it."

Vito offered his advice again.

Ron paused, then asked in surprise, "Aren't we in the Viscount's territory now? Could we be in danger?"

“It is precisely because it is within the viscountry that you need to be careful,” Vito said with a serious expression. “Traitors are more likely to appear in the territories of these nobles.”

……

Even with monsters and demons eyeing them covetously, humanity is not a monolithic entity.

Rather, it is precisely because of this that many traitors choose to defect to the demons in exchange for their own survival.

Those nobles who are high and mighty are often the ones most likely to side with the demons.

Because they couldn't relinquish their power and were unwilling to die, they preferred to side with the demons and betray humanity in order to maintain their position.

That's what Vito told Ron, so he told Ron to keep a low profile.

With Saint-level potential, Ron is likely to be one of humanity's future powerhouses. No amount of care is too much when it comes to protecting such a promising talent.

"What a terrible world..."

Ron muttered to himself.

Compared to the simulated mythical beast continent, this world, which looks like nothing more than swords and magic, is much worse.

After all, although the Fantasy Beast Continent was invaded by darkness, at least they could still see hope, and there were so-called Fantasy Beast Warriors to save everything.

But this world...

Ron had never heard of any legends about heroes.

"Let's listen to Teacher Weituo for now and keep a low profile."

After leaving Vito's room, Ron finally decided to give in to his heart for a while.

Although he can transform into a mythical beast warrior, Ron has never transformed in reality so far and does not know how strong his power as a mythical beast warrior really is in reality.

Ron needs to conduct experiments on this first.

At the very least, we need to see the world's strongest figures take action to have a standard for judging strength.

However, judging from the power of the Phantom Beast Warriors, even if Ron is weak after transforming, he should still be at least at the level of a lower-ranked professional, right?

Even higher?

As Ron was contemplating whether to experiment with the power of the Beast Warriors, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Hey! You civilians over there!"

Ron knew who was calling him just by hearing the voice, without even turning around.

Ron turned around and saw that the young lady of the Viscount's estate, Denise Monkford, was standing behind him, looking at him with a proud expression.

"Is there something you need, Miss Denise?"

Ron tried to remain respectful as he asked Denise.

Denise, with her chin raised and arms crossed, asked Ron:

Why did Teacher Weituo keep you here?

"..."

Upon hearing Denise's question, Ron couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young lady.

The young lady, dressed in a Lolita dress and with slightly round cheeks, had a hint of resentment and competition in her eyes.

Perhaps in Denise's eyes, Ron being allowed to stay was proof that he was better than her, which is why she had that look in her eyes.

This may have slightly hurt Denise's pride.

So, should I answer truthfully at this point? Or should I just make up some excuse...? These kinds of kids with strong self-esteem are the most troublesome. If I don't handle it properly, they might start bothering me later...

"Ah, because I'm from a refugee background, Professor Vito was worried I wouldn't be comfortable living here, so he kept me here to ask about my situation and such..."

Ron, looking somewhat self-conscious, replied to Denise.

Denise didn't doubt Ron's words. Upon hearing Ron's reply, Denise's face showed an "I knew it" expression, followed by a proud look:

"Hmph, I see. I thought it was something important. What a waste of my time."

Denise said this, then turned and left, showing no intention of getting entangled with Ron.

Ron couldn't help but find it amusing as he watched Denise turn and leave.

These spoiled brats are so easy to fool.

Chapter 29 The Foolish, Rich Danes

I'm sorry, I retract my previous statement!

Not long after parting ways with Denise, at dinner time, Ron promptly retracted his comment that "kids are so easy to fool."

No, it's true that kids are easily fooled, and Denise genuinely believed Ron's words and his reasons. She really thought he was only kept behind by Vito for questioning because of financial difficulties...
