Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 24 Do I need to deal with others?

"Gegran did a good job."

"A woman who has lost her pride should be much easier to win over..."

The two noble youths exchanged a wicked smile as they caught a mocking glance from the shadows.

Anything beautiful will inevitably be coveted and spied upon.

Aglaia lay on the stretcher, staring blankly at the sky.

The injury looks serious; he'll need to rest at the school hospital for at least several days…

Hegel's Wizarding Division.

Guts followed Taiya and was questioned by Gargamel, the Three-Eyed Raven, at the gate.

"Alright! Let's go in, let's go in..."

Having received the silver coin as a reward, Gargamel did not continue to make things difficult for the two.

Anyway, Taiya knows her, so it's no big deal for her to bring a student from the Warrior Division.

Gus arrived at the Wizarding Division for the first time, his expression slightly surprised. Although he had heard various rumors about the Wizarding Division, witnessing the imposing array of skeletal guards still made him feel somewhat oppressed and uneasy. Fortunately, the undead creatures meant him no harm.

"Xiao An! Xiao An!"

From a distance, Atayal waved excitedly and shouted, then ran over with outstretched arms.

Tai'an reluctantly went over to greet him: "Mind your ladylike image, hey!"

A sudden, brutal attack left the person feeling very awkward.

Even though Tai'an considered himself to be calm and collected, a lingering shyness would still appear on his face.

"Let me introduce you, his name is Gus! He was a member of my former trial team, and he's a trustworthy person." Taiya let go of her brother and raised her hand in greeting.

"Hello, Mr. Gus!"

"Young Master Tai'an, please accept my loyalty." Guts knelt down on one knee, clenched his fist and placed it on his heart, in a standard warrior's salute.

Tai'an naturally wouldn't refuse what the two sides had agreed on beforehand, and nodded slightly: "I trust my sister's judgment; Mr. Gus will definitely be an excellent follower."

Having successfully completed the process, Guss relaxed slightly and a smile appeared on his face.

"Not bad! Young man..." Mussofi stepped forward and patted his new colleague on the shoulder.

"Anyway, let's go eat first." Tai'an didn't mention the Silver Moon banquet, assuming she was just joking.

"You're going the wrong way!" Taiya grabbed her brother. "The girl next door is treating you? Didn't she tell you?"

"Is that so?" The young wizard put on a show of feigned confusion.

Pale Courtyard No. 17.

The golden oak dining table was laden with a variety of delicious dishes that are rarely seen on ordinary days.

Honey-glazed roast goose, pan-fried pork ribs with Milan flowers, tomato and beef brisket soup, foie gras, salmon, caviar, vegetable salad, royal-style mashed potatoes, cheese, various pastries, fruit platter…

"Please sit down! Help yourself to the food, don't be shy..." The silver-haired loli sat in the main seat, smiling as she greeted the guests.

Dorothy and Taya sat to the left and right of the main seats respectively, followed by Leona and Fu. As for the boy they disliked the most, he swaggered off to the opposite side of the long table.

Their eyes met, and the boy curled his lip in disdain, exuding an inexplicable sense of superiority.

If it weren't for Taiya's sake, Taian thought he wouldn't have come.

Mussophie and Gus dined outside with the other attendants. Being non-nobles, their status was different. Neither of them seemed surprised.

Seeing that no one had started eating, Yin Yue took the initiative to pick up a knife and fork and carefully cut a piece of porridge.

"Rosanna, pour everyone some drinks."

"Yes, Miss."

The girl with tan hair wore a black and white maid outfit and had a remarkably beautiful face.

The Kingdom of Ilanti is not short of handsome men and beautiful women; even the maids are exceptionally beautiful.

Tai'an ignored the glass of red wine and went about enjoying his gourmet meal.

The silver-haired little girl propped her cheek up with one small hand, swirling the red wine in her glass with feigned elegance: "Xiao An, you've never had red wine before, have you? Your mom must be very strict with you at home, right?"

"That's right, I don't drink." The boy saw through the girl's provocation; the red wine must have been spiked!

If she gets drunk, wouldn't that mean she can do whatever she wants?

"Come on, have a bite?" Silver Moon urged, squinting her eyes.

The boy continued to eat his pastries and fruit, ignoring the girl's words.

I must say, the pastries from that brat's family are really good.

We must exchange technical information with Mussophie another day.

"Xiao An really doesn't drink at home," Taiya said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.

"Does he never socialize?" Silver Moon wondered.

"Yes! Xiao An is a bit withdrawn..." Taiya admitted that her younger brother had some minor personality issues.

"No wonder!" Dorothy realized.

She never noticed the way the other person was looking at her.

"Do I need to deal with other people?" Tai'an's words revealed the truth.

"Actually, it's better to have less social interaction."

Leona thought about her father, who often stayed out all night, and her brother and cousins, who were obsessed with women, and silently labeled Taian as a good man.

On the ground floor, in an open-air courtyard, there is a square table.

Musophie and Guts raised their glasses and clinked them together. The food and drinks on the table were quite good, but unfortunately, the pandaren hardly ate any meat, instead devouring the free fruit and snacks.

Gus never refused meat. Usually, he was short of money and only ate meat once or twice a week. Now that he had the opportunity to feast, he naturally didn't hold back. After finishing half a roast goose, he still felt unsatisfied and quickly called the waiter to bring more meat.

"I want the cuckoo's egg," Mussophie called out.

"No, Mr. Monokuma." The short young maid carefully brought over a pot of tomato and beef brisket soup and placed it on the table.

Mussophie was a little disappointed. She envied Gus for being able to eat meat, as her own stomach wasn't very good and she would feel uncomfortable for a long time if she ate meat indiscriminately...

"Musophie".

The voice of Tai'an appeared in the steward's consciousness.

"Young Master! Were you calling me?"

"You'll go train with Gus later."

"Yes, sir. Leave it to me."

The slightly tipsy panda man raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Everyone knows the Blue Rose Territory; the steward is keen on mentoring newcomers.

Having not engaged in strenuous exercise for a long time, Mussofi was eager to get back to it.

"Gus, hurry up, does the young master want me to be your sparring partner?"

"Oh? You'll have to wait a moment." Gus burped, knowing that wasting food was bad, and he was determined to finish the whole pot of tomato and beef soup. "Mr. Butler, you seem quite capable."

"Of course, I am a genius of the panda clan." Mussophie proudly raised her head.

Not a bear-man? Gus wondered to himself.

The school hospital building.

Since it's only been one day since the start of the school year, not many people have moved in yet.

Aglaia was fortunate enough to enjoy a private room. Staring blankly at the white ceiling, she tried to let her thoughts wander, but the sharp pains surging through her body forced her back to reality. A sense of resentment and helplessness welled up inside her. Despite swinging her sword again and again, she couldn't get even a fraction closer to her dream.

Must we submit and become playthings of the nobles?

Perhaps, you could proactively choose someone you find pleasing to the eye.

The tea-haired girl was heartbroken.
