I, the heir of the great Eastern nation

Liu Zhao's first impression of Sorantia, the capital of the Kingdom of Austro, was that it was magnificent and luxurious.

As the most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Os, it was worlds apart from Baron Karl's remote Greenstone Territory.

It was already late when they entered the city. Exhausted, Liu Zhao collapsed onto the hotel bed, not wanting to move at all.

Seeing this, the Knight of York volunteered to deliver the message to the Raylo Merchant Guild on Liu Zhao's behalf.

Liu Zhao readily agreed, handed the envelope to the Knight of York, and went to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already dawn the next day.

I slept soundly and felt refreshed and comfortable all over.

When the door to the room was opened, the Knight of York was already standing outside.

Good morning, Your Highness.

Good morning, York.

After a brief greeting, the Knight of York continued speaking.

"Your Highness, last night I delivered the envelope to Charlie, the manager of the Leilo Merchant Guild, as you instructed. After reading the letter, he told me that he would handle your enrollment as soon as possible. After asking for our address, he sent me back."

"Then, early this morning, Manager Charlie came to see you, saying that your enrollment procedures had been completed and he wanted to visit you in person. I saw that you were still sleeping, so I didn't disturb you. He's sitting in the hotel lobby now. Would you like to see him?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhao couldn't help but be taken aback.

He had originally thought that Baron Karl was just a baron, and even if someone had connections to help him get into school, it would definitely take a lot of effort. He never expected that the matter would be settled in just one night.

"Tsk tsk, even in the capital, their efficiency is so high. It seems that Baron Karl's power behind the scenes is not as simple as it appears."

Thinking of this, Liu Zhao smiled slightly at York.

"Okay, go and call Manager Charlie over."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Soon, after Liu Zhao returned to his room and quickly washed up, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, Supervisor Charlie has arrived."

"Please come in."

After obtaining Liu Zhao's permission, York led in a chubby man with squinty eyes who looked to be around forty years old.

The moment the fat man saw Liu Zhao, his previously squinted eyes suddenly widened, and with a look of surprise, he immediately bowed to Liu Zhao with great respect.

"Charlie Lance greets Your Highness."

Liu Zhao nodded.

"You must be the Supervisor Charlie that Lady Love and Baron Karl mentioned. I just heard from my knight that my enrollment has been arranged. Is that true?"

Manager Charlie wore a friendly smile.

"Your Highness, you can just call me Old Charlie. After reading the letter you sent last night, I knew that your important matter was urgent, so I didn't dare to delay for a moment. I used almost all my connections and finally just now got everything settled. If Your Highness is willing, you can go directly to the Royal Magic Academy today and enroll directly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhao was overjoyed.

"Well done, old Charlie. You really put your heart into getting things done in such a short time."

Old Charlie grinned.

"Your Highness flatters me. It is my honor to serve you."

At this point, old Charlie took an envelope from his chest and respectfully handed it to Liu Zhao.

"By the way, Your Highness, of the two letters your knight delivered last night, only one was from Lady Love. In addition to the matter of your enrollment, the letter specifically asked me to give you another letter, so that you could also give it to her younger sister, Miss Christine, who is also studying at the academy."

Liu Zhao reached out and took the envelope, his expression showing some surprise.

"Love's sister goes to school here too? Why didn't she tell me before?"

"Oh well, it's just delivering a letter on the side anyway, it doesn't matter."

Seeing Liu Zhao put away the envelope, old Charlie continued to ask with a smile.

"Your Highness, the letter mentioned that this is your first time visiting Solantia. How about I show you around? You know, as the capital of the Kingdom of Os, there are countless interesting and fun places here. A young prince of your noble status will surely enjoy it."

When he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word "fun" and gave Liu Zhao a rather meaningful look.

However, Liu Zhao, who had been extremely insecure since his transmigration, couldn't muster even the slightest thought of enjoying or having fun with this.

Right now, he only cares about one thing!

That is... to become stronger!

"Thank you, old Charlie, I appreciate your kindness, but for now I'd like to enroll in school first."

Hearing this, old Charlie's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded with a smile.

"It's alright, Your Highness, I'll do whatever you say."

"However, you will be staying in Solantia for a long time. During this time, if you need anything, you can send someone to the Leilo Merchant Guild to find me, old Charlie. Please feel free to ask for anything you need, don't be shy."

Liu Zhao nodded and smiled.

"Okay, definitely."

"In that case, I wish you all the best in your studies. Old Charlie will take his leave now, Your Highness."

Old Charlie, still wearing a friendly smile, respectfully left the room.

Liu Zhao glanced at the envelope in his hand, thought for a moment, and then stood up decisively without delay.

"Let's go, York. Now that things are settled, we should go to school."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

Royal Capital, Royal Magic Academy.

Liu Zhao, accompanied by Knight York, walked openly and legitimately into the academy.

With this highly prestigious title and Old Charlie's advance arrangements, Liu Zhao's enrollment went very smoothly.

He only mentioned his name, and a third-year student came to greet him. After filling out some simple information, she warmly led him to the student dormitory.

It was a very uniquely designed large castle.

Liu Zhao's room is room 303 on the 3rd floor.

"Alright, Your Highness, the mission of receiving you is officially complete. From now on, you are also an official member of our Royal Magic Academy."

"My name is Berica, I'm a third-year student majoring in fire magic, and I live in room 208 of the girls' dormitory next door. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me anytime."

With her long, purplish-red hair, Senior Berekka put her hands on her hips and grinned at Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao subconsciously looked up at the top of her head.

A bronze-colored "Noble" title.

"Just a friendly reminder: for transfer students like you who have no magical background, the studies might be quite challenging. If you fall behind and fail your exams, which displeases the teachers, you'll face some terrible punishment!"

She smiled mysteriously and continued.

"Just a friendly reminder, I'm a top student, so if you have any academic problems, feel free to come to me anytime for paid help and tutoring. I'm happy to serve you new juniors."

She walked out the door, then suddenly turned back and blinked.

"Of course, it won't be cheap, so be prepared, junior!"

After saying that, he disappeared from Liu Zhao's sight.

As for this seemingly very outgoing senior, Liu Zhao shook his head and chuckled.

After tidying up the room, York was asked to leave the academy temporarily.

At this moment, Liu Zhao looked at the neatly arranged class schedule and magic textbook on the table, and couldn't resist any longer. He sat down and opened the book "What is Magic?".

Liu Zhao initially thought that someone like him, with no magical foundation, still struggling to adapt to the worldview, and having only recently learned the common language of the continent, would find reading this type of book extremely difficult.

He was prepared to face numerous challenges and setbacks.

However, the very first sentence he saw when he opened the first page of this magic textbook stunned him instantly.

Magic itself is, in fact, a language.

The essence of spellcasting is actually using magic to outline and depict mysterious runes, chanting incantations to resonate with them, and thereby releasing magical spells.

The so-called spells and runes we learn today were, in distant legends, the language used by ancient gods to communicate casually, called... divine language. Divine language itself possessed great power, and over time, it has become the... runes we know today.

At this moment, I looked at the preface written in the magic textbook in front of me.

Liu Zhao's initial anxiety instantly turned into overwhelming joy.

Learning magic = learning a language?

"Holy crap! This is a perfect match for my major!"
