Pei Yuening blinked.

He rolled over and stretched vigorously.

"Ughh ...

Listen to the dragon's roar.

After letting out that cry, Pei Yuening finally recovered.

He looked down and saw that Gao Gao was sleeping soundly, hugging a corner of the blanket, and that all the noise hadn't woken her up.

Pei Yuening lay on the bed in a daze for a while, then got up, drew back the curtains, opened the window, and took a breath of fresh air.

The room was filled with light when his gaze suddenly fell on the desk.

Pei Yuening was taken aback.

He remembered clearly that there was nothing on the table before he went to sleep.

He blinked and glanced at it again.

Yes, it's an envelope.

He couldn't quite understand the words on it, but that badge should be from the Holy Academy... right?

Pei Yuening's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Who delivered it?

He wasn't very clear about the rules of this other world, but servants should need their master's permission to enter a room, right?

Even when delivering something, you have to knock on the door first, and the housekeeper won't come in or out without permission.

There was only one person in the Duke's mansion who could simply push open the door and enter.

Pei Yuening paused for a moment.

brother.

Has Ye Jiyun come by?

Pei Yuening's mind raced.

My brother came to deliver something. He knocked on the door, but I didn't wake up.

So he pushed the door open and came in, and—

Pei Yuening's gaze slowly shifted to the pillow.

Gao Gao was still asleep, and the golden light flickered in the dim room, making it incredibly eye-catching.

As long as Ye Jiyun isn't blind, she must be able to see it, right?

Pei Yuening took a deep breath.

Look at the mess this has made...

However, on the other hand,

Ye Jiyun could simply wake himself up if he wanted to say or do something.

But he didn't.

She didn't question him, didn't demand that he hand over the flower fairy, and didn't force herself to fulfill any of her duties as the master of a top-tier familiar.

Gao Gao was still asleep, completely unaware of what was happening, with a glistening drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Pei Yuening glanced at her and sighed.

"...You're sleeping soundly."

He reached out and pulled the blanket up to cover Gao Gao's little feet that were sticking out.

A breeze blows, and the curtains sway gently.

Gao Gao rolled over and mumbled in her sleep, "...Delicious..."

Pei Yuening turned around and glanced at her, unable to help but smile.

Never mind, my brother isn't just anyone.

He went downstairs and asked the housekeeper for all the books that the academy had sent.

Ye Jiyun seemed to be busy with something in his study, so he didn't disturb him.

He took the books back to his room and sat down at his desk.

He opened the envelope, and inside was indeed a class schedule and an enrollment notice.

He glanced at the course schedule—magic theory, basic swordsmanship, and general biology.

Oh, and there's also live-fire training, but we don't need to worry about that.

He put the timetable aside and his eyes fell on the stack of books.

Textbooks from the Holy Academy.

A thick stack, each book as thick as a Xinhua Dictionary.

Pei Yuening randomly picked up a book and flipped through it.

The first page is alright. It has pictures and text, and although I don't recognize the words very well, I can understand the general idea by guessing.

The second page started to get difficult.

Page 3 —

He closed the book.

"Damn it, what is all this writing...?"

He cursed and picked up another book.

This one is even more outrageous; he couldn't understand the first page, as it was full of magical terms he couldn't even name.

Pei Yuening took a deep breath, pulled the stack of books in front of her, and flipped through them one by one.

The textbook for the theory class: I can't understand it.

Swordsmanship basics: I don't understand.

Biology Encyclopedia: He can understand the diagrams, and he knows the grade markings S, A, B, and C.

But I still can't understand the words.

Pei Yuening closed the book and looked up at the ceiling.

"Won't this spoil the dish...?"

Gao Gao woke up at some point.

She crawled out from under the covers, her hair disheveled, her eyes not fully open, and her wings drooping at her sides.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"I'm reviewing." Pei Yuening said expressionlessly.

"What are you preparing for?"

"Preparing for the embarrassment after school starts."

Gao Gao tilted her head, flew up, and landed on the desk.

She glanced down at the open textbook, then looked up at Pei Yuening.

"You don't understand?"

"OK."

"What don't you understand?" she asked.

Pei Yuening pointed to the first page: "Here."

"Just the first page?"

"Um."

Gao Gao looked down at the page, then looked up: "Isn't this the most basic one?"

"You can read?!" Pei Yuening was astonished.

"What are you saying? Of course I can read!" Gao Gao said, hands on her hips. "I'm a noble, healing fairy, not illiterate!"

Pei Yuening: "..."

Fine.

He pushed the textbook in front of Gao Gao: "Then you explain it to me."

Gao Gao cleared her throat, flew to sit on his shoulder, and began to read in a serious manner.

"The essence of magical elements is the power of nature; everything that nature bestows upon us is the source of magic."

Pei Yuening: "Speak like a human being."

"Wind, fire, thunder, lightning, water; grass, trees, sun, moon, and stars."

"oh oh."

"Your husband is a wind-elemental greatsword master, currently the only SSS-level expert on the continent."

"Uh-huh."

Gao Gao cleared her throat and continued, "Magical elements are like moisture in the air; some people can sense them, and some can't."

"Those who can sense it can gather it together and turn it into water."

"Those who can't feel it can only get soaked in the rain."

Pei Yuening blinked: "Then which type am I?"

Gao Gao glanced at him and said sincerely, "You're the kind who gets caught in the rain."

Pei Yuening: "..."

Screw it.

Gao Gao continued her story.

"Magic is like water in a sponge; if you're willing to squeeze, there's always some left."

"Unfortunately, Master, you suffer from myasthenia gravis."

"Practical training is essentially about getting beaten up. The more times you get beaten up, the clearer things become."

Pei Yuening was stunned.

He picked up his textbook again, flipped to the part he couldn't understand before, and pointed to a line of text: "What about this? What does it mean?"

Gao Gao leaned over and took a look.

"Oh, this?" she said. "It teaches you how to control magic."

"If the magic gets out of control, it can cause fainting at best, and an explosion at worst."

"explode?!"

"Yeah, an explosion." Gao Gao nodded: "The kind that goes 'boom'."

"That's none of my business. I don't even have magic."

"You should still write this down. This is all theoretical knowledge; what if it's on the test?" Gao Gao whispered in his ear, "Master, you don't want to lose face in front of Duke Luo, do you?"

The devil's whisper.

"..."

Fine.

Pei Yuening struggled for a while, but ultimately chose to start with something simple.

So he opened the book "The Complete Book of Biology".

The table of contents is divided into very detailed sections.

First, all living things are divided into two categories: intelligent and non-intelligent.

Intelligent types are those that can communicate and be used to form bonds to become familiars.

The non-intelligent type is mostly meat served on the cutting board, with only a very small portion being inedible.

Then they are further divided into grades: S, A, B, and C.

Below the hierarchy lies the lifestyle.

Terrestrial, aquatic, amphibious, and even flying species.

Next, there are factions.

For example, Gao Gao is an intelligent S-class flying, healing-type flower fairy.

Pei Yuening glanced at it.

Gao Gao was engrossed in picking at her nails, completely unaware of what was happening.

Pei Yuening rolled her eyes and continued reading her own book.

He flipped to section C and caught a glimpse of it—

His expression instantly cracked.

The accompanying image shows a green-skinned, pointed-eared, snarling humanoid creature.

He was holding a wooden stick, with a tattered cloth wrapped around his private parts, and his expression was quite ferocious.

He knows what it is without even looking at the words!

"Damn!" He almost spat out, "How come there are even goblins?!"

Gao Gao leaned over for a look: "What's wrong with goblins? The Holy Academy often organizes students to go hunting for goblins during practical classes."

"But Master, you don't have any magic power, so you don't need to go."

Pei Yuening breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know why? Because its ears can—"

Pei Yuening pinched Gao Gao's mouth shut: "Alright, stop talking."

How disgusting!
