Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 60 Underground Ruins

The young master is not eating at home today.

Mussofi had enough patience to wait for Aglaia to finish eating and then take the food box with her.

However, she didn't have time to eat first and hurriedly ran to the school hospital's bathroom with her clothes and towel.

For a girl who loves cleanliness, it's hard to bear not showering for a few days.

Fortunately, the weather has been quite cold lately, so I haven't been sweating.

A moment later, Aglaia, wearing a newly bought gray long-sleeved undershirt, walked in while drying her hair with a towel.

"The butler hasn't left yet?"

"Okay, hurry up and eat!"

Mussofi sat leisurely on the empty hospital bed next to him, with his back to the window.

Aglaia lifted the lid of the lunchbox. The food looked delicious again, with both meat and vegetables, and a unique flavor and texture. It was hard to imagine that ordinary ingredients could be made into such a delicious meal. She quickly picked up the small silver spoon and took a bite.

"Mr. Butler, did you cook all the dishes?"

"How is it?" Mussophie asked, a little nervously.

"You're really amazing. I've never eaten such delicious food before." Aglaia looked at Musophie earnestly, and the thought of becoming her apprentice arose in her mind.

"Hehe, don't praise me, I'll laugh..." The panda scratched his head shyly.

The sound of rhythmic footsteps echoed down the corridor, the distinctive thumping of high heels.

Hua Yun, dressed in a long white coat, hummed a song casually with her hands in her pockets.

At noon, the routine ward rounds were conducted.

I pushed open the door to Aglaia's hospital room and saw her eating.

He then shifted his gaze to the panda man sitting beside the hospital bed.

"Who are you!?"

"Madam, I am Musophie, the butler of the Blue Rose family." The panda stood up and introduced himself.

"She was with Aglaia, wasn't she..." Hua Yun said with a look of realization.

"Yes!" Mussophie answered affirmatively. "Madam, when can she be discharged from the hospital?"

"Let me check on you first." Hua Yun's pale hand rested on Aglaia's forehead. "You still have a fever. How are you feeling?"

"I'm perfectly fine. I feel much better than yesterday. I can eat, drink, and sleep well." Aglaia's tone was relaxed, showing no signs of weakness typical of a feverish patient.

"Stay one more day and see. If there are no problems, you can apply for discharge on Friday."

Considering that the patient had no family members to take care of him, it would be better for him to go home and recover faster, Hua Yun thought to herself.

Pale Courtyard No. 18.

Tai'an sat upright at the round table, dressed in a black suit that accentuated his handsome features, with a scarf around his neck.

Four little girls with different hair colors sat on all four sides.

Sometimes, he would feel very strange.

Why would a wizarding academy, located in such a remote and unpopular area, attract so many noble ladies to join?

Wouldn't a law academy be a better choice?

Surrounded by many girls of the same age, the boy propped up his chubby cheek with one hand and casually tapped the table with the other, waiting for the maid to serve the food.

"Haha, Xiao An is just like a fat kitten." Yin Yue laughed heartily, making an exaggerated gesture.

"Hehe, it really does look like it!" The pink-haired little girl, Fu, blinked frequently.

The other two also smiled.

Silver Moon!

Tai'an felt his dignity had been challenged and nearly overturned the table. Remembering that he was a cultivator free from desires, he barely managed to suppress his anger and a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao An! Don't scare me, or I'll call you 'sister'!"

"Go ahead and yell! We'll beat them both up."

"You're so arrogant..."

The fox-girl maid Zelita carefully carried the plate and placed it in the center of the round table. It was a grilled fish, covered with tomato sauce.

It's somewhat similar to squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, but instead of being deep-fried, it's grilled.

"Eat whatever you like! It's a gathering of friends, don't be shy." Dorothy, as the hostess, was the first to pick up her chopsticks.

The grilled fish was indeed excellent, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sauce drizzled over it that was a secret royal recipe.

"Xiao An, do you eat fish without spitting out the bones?" Yin Yue noticed something strange.

"Um…"

Tai'an gave a light snort without raising his head.

Actually, it's not that they don't spit out the fish bones. They definitely spit out the large bones, but it's troublesome to spit out the smaller ones, so they can just swallow them. With the digestive abilities of a cultivator, they can easily digest fasting pills with a density comparable to gold and mercury, so eating fish bones is purely for calcium supplementation.

Perhaps she was too distracted during the meal, because Yin Yue suddenly started coughing violently, her face flushed an unnatural red, and she covered her throat with her small hands, unable to speak.

"Could it be a fishbone stuck in her throat?" Dorothy stood up. "Quickly, use Mage's Hand!"

Silvermoon shook her head quickly; the Mage's Hand technique required concentration, which she simply couldn't do right now.

Tai'an frowned and stood up, roughly grabbing Yin Yue's chin and forcing her to open her mouth.

The mage's hand, as thick as a hemp rope, swiftly and cleanly removed the fishbone from the half-elf loli's throat.

Like a drowning person surfacing, Yin Yue took a few deep breaths to calm her panicked emotions: "Xiao An, thank you!"

"Don't call me Xiao An!"

Taking the opportunity, Tai'an ruffled the little girl's hair as payment, then sat back down in his seat.

The food kept coming in, and lunch took more than an hour.

Tai'an had to admit that the imperial chefs were quite skilled. The main reason was that all the ingredients were carefully selected top-quality goods. Even just bringing out the original flavor of the ingredients was already incredibly delicious.

Tai'an took the napkin from the maid and gracefully wiped his mouth.

"Thank you for your hospitality! I have other matters to attend to at home, so I cannot keep you company any longer."

"Xiao An, wait a minute... I have something to discuss with you." Dorothy quickly called out to Tai An, who was leaving his seat.

Tai'an turned to look at the other person.

Dorothy hesitated slightly, then said, "Actually...it's related to a secret in the Wizarding Division. Aren't you curious why we didn't go to the Mage Division, but instead came to the Wizarding Division?"

"Hey! Xiaoxi, are you really going to tell him?" Leona asked incredulously.

"Yes, Xiao An is excellent and qualified to join us," Dorothy emphasized seriously.

"I don't care," Fu said, blinking her pink eyelashes.

Tai'an was indeed intrigued and quietly awaited what would happen next.

"Before the establishment of human nations, there was a long dark period in history. The various races of the continent fought each other, vying for territory and resources. Demons from other realms invaded, unleashing unimaginable dark turmoil. In order to preserve resources and the flame of civilization, the various spellcaster organizations established underground sanctuaries. Beneath the Hegel Wizarding Academy lies a relic from the dark period, which opens approximately once every hundred years. Legend has it that the relic contains the legacy left by ancient spellcasters, various strange magical artifacts, and rare materials such as mithril and adamantite."

Tai'an nodded casually, indicating that he was listening.

"Now, almost another hundred years have passed, and the time for the ruins to be opened is approaching. I would like to ask you to explore with us and support each other." Dorothy bowed deeply to Tai'an, her attitude sincere.
