"Your Majesty?" Louise still looked suspicious.

"Yes, Your Majesty King Arthur, the greatest king in my world, the founder of the Knights of the Round Table, the architect of the chivalric system, the great King of Knights. The great ancestor of my country."

"Legend has it that His Majesty said this after a battle against a foreign invasion, when he was seriously wounded and faced with representatives of the people who came to thank the army. His Majesty rose in his military uniform, maintaining his royal dignity, and despite his pain, ate the food offered by the people as a token of gratitude. He then spoke these words to His Majesty the Great Archmage Merlin beside him."

"His Majesty also said that we endure the torment of pain and face the fear of death to protect our people. Would we back down in the face of the people's gratitude? That is not the behavior of a knight."

Simo spoke with an air of righteous indignation, with an air of noble conviction, almost moving himself to tears. [Your Majesty of Avalon, please forgive your unworthy descendants for their fabrication of you and for using your lion's might as a banner.]

As a noblewoman, Louise, who could even be considered royalty, was deeply moved after hearing Seamus's fabricated story of King Arthur: "He protected the country and the people, and could still say such things. What a remarkable king!"

“That’s right, that’s right. As subjects of the late king, although we cannot completely follow the knightly code exactly like our king, we can still emulate it in our words and deeds.”

"Hey, tell me the story of the great Knight King."

"Alright, I'll tell you the story. It all starts with His Majesty's origins..."

"Merlin the Archmage is so powerful!"

"Of course, that was the most powerful sage. We still have medals named after him to reward wizards who have made outstanding contributions to the magical world."

"Huh? Not all the nobles in your country are magicians, and not all magicians are nobles?"

"Of course, since our King established the Knights of the Round Table, equality and unity have been ingrained in our hearts. Commoners can become nobles as long as they achieve merit, even Muggles can. Ah, Muggles are just ordinary people."

"As for wizards, as long as they have the aptitude, regardless of their background, they can become qualified wizards after receiving education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ah, of course, they still have to take exams, otherwise they cannot graduate."

"Wow, that's amazing. Tell me more about His Majesty the Knight King. You turned it into Merlin's biography halfway through."

"Hmm? It seems so. Then let me tell you about how our king drew the Sword of the King and how he won the 12 battles."

"Okay, okay~"

Before they knew it, under the cover of night, in the castle where the two moons gazed, only one window remained lit. The girl and the boy, like best friends reunited after many years, exchanged stories of the interesting things that had happened to them over the years, forgetting the passage of time.

8. The First Otherworldly Magic Lesson, Destined to Be Turbulent

Seamus and Louise were slumped on the desks in the Great Hall, completely exhausted from their excited chatter all night.

This morning, if it weren't for a gentle, black-haired maid who was in charge of cleaning reminding them, Simo and Louise might have completely forgotten about going to breakfast and class.

Seeing that time was running out, Seamus and Louise hurriedly ran to the cafeteria. On the way, Seamus learned that the name of the academy was Tristine Magic Academy, and the cafeteria was the tallest building on campus, located in the central tower.

Uninterested in observing the cafeteria's layout, the two quickly ate a few biscuits and drank some milk before each grabbing a piece of bread and running towards the classroom.

Since most people had already finished eating and gone to class, no upperclassmen, students from the same year, or teachers criticized Louise and Seamus for their uncivilized, ill-mannered, and impolite behavior.

To be honest, Louise found it novel, liberating, and joyful to eat while running for the first time.

However, Seamus told Louise that she should do this less often in the future, because Muggle scientists have found that eating while exercising can cause the stomach to sag, leading to pain and illness.

Louise responded, "You're even more nagging than my mother, and the one who kept me up all night and almost made me miss breakfast—isn't that you?"

Louise stated that she didn't need her familiar to tell her what to do. However, Louise actually remembered Seamus's words very well, because it meant that Seamus was worried about her.

Louise's true thoughts were: [I'll listen to Seamus and never eat while running again—unless Seamus does it with me.]

So, Louise Francis Louise Brown du La Vallière is a typical tsundere, a perfect tsundere, and her defining characteristic is that she says one thing but means another. The fact that you have to interpret everything she says in reverse is what makes her so endearing.

However, Simo, whose understanding of women's minds was still in its infancy, lamented inwardly: "The words of the Chinese sages are indeed true. In this world, women and children are the most difficult to raise. Too much contact with them will lead to their disrespect; but if you distance yourself from them, you will incur their resentment."

Seamus believed that the sage must have experienced extremely profound lessons to utter such philosophical words. As for how Seamus knew the Chinese sage's wise saying, that involves the poignant story of a certain older single man named Jules Verne, who is currently teaching at Hogwarts.

While Louise wasn't looking, Simo rolled his eyes. He was sure that feeling he had when he first saw Louise must have been an illusion! It must have been! Soon they arrived at the classroom.

The classrooms at Tristine Magic Academy are like lecture halls at a Muggle university. However, judging from the architectural structure, it wouldn't be wrong to say that it's entirely built of stone.

The instructor's seat was on the lowest stone step, with seats arranged like a staircase, ensuring that students could clearly see the teacher and vice versa, regardless of which step they sat on. When Seamus and Louise entered the classroom, the students who had arrived earlier all turned to look at them and burst into laughter.

Among them was the blonde, freckled beauty who had argued with Louise yesterday, now receiving attention from a handsome boy, while another fierce redhead was surrounded by a group of boys. The scene suggested she was being treated like a queen by the surrounding men.

Simo felt there was a reason for this, and quickly discovered it: the murder weapon was unavoidable, it seems that large-breasted women are favored in every world. (However, a recent anime called *Oni-giri* has taught us that large-breasted mature women are no longer appealing; flat-chested crossdressers are the gentlemen's favorite! How do I know this? Because my brother is a perverted otaku!)

Everyone was accompanied by all sorts of familiars. The red-haired beauty's salamander was sleeping under the chair, and some students had owls riding on their shoulders. Seamus said he was very familiar with this scene because Harry often had his Hedwig ride on his shoulders.

From the window, you could see a huge snake peeking inside. When a boy played his flute, the snake lowered its head; there were also crows and cats.

Looking at this familiar art style, Seamus thought it was great that there were no toads. Although it was a bit unfair to Neville to say that, thanks to Professor Snape, Seamus really didn't want to see toads again for a while. He was almost sick of skinning them.

Louise and Seymour found a seat in the back row and sat down.

"Ha~~~"

Covering her mouth, Louise yawned. Having arrived just in time, her anxious heart calmed down, and with her body and mind relaxed, she began to feel sleepy after a sleepless night. Similarly, following Louise's lead, Seamus quickly slumped onto the table.

"Miss Valier! Miss Valier!"

Before he knew it, Simo had fallen asleep, but before he could fully enjoy the blessings bestowed upon him by Hypnos, he was awakened by a woman's voice.

When he opened his eyes, he found Louise next to him looking at him with a blank expression, clearly she had also been summoned by the god of sleep.

“Miss Valier!” The speaker was a middle-aged woman wearing a purple evening gown and a hat.

Her soft cheeks would give off a kind and gentle aura when she smiled, but this kind lady's expression was clearly unpleasant.

She first glanced around the classroom, then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Everyone. It seems the spring familiar summoning was all successful. I, Westbrook, am very happy to see all sorts of familiars in this new spring semester."

“Miss Valier, I’m so glad to see that you seem to have summoned a rather peculiar familiar.” Sibruz said to Seamo in surprise.

"But that's no excuse for Miss Valier to skip afternoon classes and nap in the morning, is it?"

Louise lowered her head in shame. The classroom was immediately filled with laughter.

"Louise Zero! Could it be that she can't be summoned, so she just found someone to impersonate her?" It's the same argument as yesterday.

"He seems to be a magician? I saw him use magic."

"real or fake?"

"Louise, what exactly did you pay to get this magician to help you cheat last night?"

"It must have been quite intense. I couldn't find you this afternoon, and you were even dozing off this morning."

Louise got angry. She stood up, her long peach-colored hair swaying, and said loudly in a cute, defensive voice, "No. I did successfully summon him. Last night I just asked him about the history of that foreign land! We talked all night, so I was too tired."

"Stop lying. The familiar summoning failed, didn't it?"

"Foreign countries? Are there any countries in this world that we don't know about? Louise's skill in making up lies is zero."

"How did you conduct the transaction? Can you tell us?"

The students in the classroom burst into laughter, and their vocabulary related to "transactions" quietly increased.

As noble children, they were used to such things. However, those who did such things were usually low-class nobles with no taste, or socialites who relied on the support of high-ranking nobles for survival.

Simo narrowed his eyes and memorized the faces of the most boisterous boys. He was determined to teach them a lesson for using such vicious language on an unmarried woman.

Since I can't see it on the mobile app, and I can't reply in the book review section, I'm writing it here:

First of all, thank you to yxc0219 for raising the question: about the nickname "Uncle Ben" in Chapter 1.

Then, let me clarify something here: This is actually a misconception. The general public in our country's understanding of this uncle truly began in 01.

However, Osama bin Laden founded al-Qaeda in 1988. Between 91 and 93, he carried out terrorist activities in Riyadh and Dhah, Saudi Arabia, and was stripped of his Saudi citizenship in 94. However, at the time, the impact was limited to Europe and the Middle East. Because the internet was not as developed then, China knew little about it.

Even before 9/11, the impression of Uncle Ledeng among Chinese people (referring to the group of people in China who knew about him) was still that of a national fighter against Soviet aggression (this period of history took place between 1979 and 1989).

So, in fact, Uncle La Deng was already quite famous abroad back in 94.

Thanks again to yxc0219. Please point out any further questions or errors. Thank you!

P.S.: Actually, when I first saw yxc0219's comment, I also thought I had made a mistake. But after checking some information, I realized I could still try to justify it, salvage the situation, and make up an excuse. So, I've decided to proudly refuse to admit my mistake and just swallow this bug! Hehe! Please, yxc0219, keep up the good work and try not to give me a chance to be proud next time! ~(RQ)/~ Lalala

9. Outdated theories of otherworldly magic education

(Just realized I've been writing the wrong book title all along, *facepalm*. Too lazy to change it, just consider it a cute thing about the title-writing style. Anyway, it doesn't affect reading or comprehension.)

“Ms. Westbrook! This is an insult! Malcolm with a cold is insulting me!” Louise said, clenching her fist and banging it on the table.

"They actually think I have a cold? I'm Maliklum of the Wind. I don't have a cold at all!"

"Isn't your booming sound just like you have a cold?"

The boy named Maliklum stood up, staring directly at Louise. Sibrus waved his wand. The two standing figures slumped back down like puppets with their strings cut.

“Miss Valier, Mr. Maliklum, please stop this disgraceful talk.” Louise nodded listlessly. The arrogant attitude on her face just moments before vanished instantly.

"Calling classmates 'Zero' or 'Has a Cold' is unacceptable. Understand?"

Ms. Sibruz's original intention was simply to congratulate Louise, because she had always seen Louise's efforts, and it was wonderful that the ceremony was successfully completed this time.

Lady Sibruz had also heard about Louise's familiar being a human, and possibly a magician, and she was genuinely happy for Louise.

However, Louise's skipping of class yesterday afternoon and her dozing off in class today angered the kind and gentle Mrs. Sibruz. So she woke Louise up and wanted to give her a warning.

However, Ms. Sibruz underestimated the lewd thoughts of teenage boys. These aristocratic children actually managed to think of things in such a dirty, vulgar way, linking them to transactions. As a school teacher, Ms. Sibruz knew how sacred and undisturbed this ceremony was.

Moreover, Mr. Gruber, who is in charge of guiding us, may look like a balding professor now, but his strength is unfathomable! My strength is only at the "Triangle" level, while Mr. Gruber is at least a Grand Magician at the Four Directions level!

This is also why the headmaster entrusted Mr. Gruber with such an important task. No one can cheat under the nose of a Grand Mage of the Fourth Rank, not even the descendants of nobles!

So, while the students' clamor, mainly from the boys, greatly displeased the kind-hearted Ms. Sibrutz, she couldn't retaliate. Mr. Gruber was a Quadruple-level mage, while she was only a Triangle-level mage. In this world, magical power was absolute.

“Ms. Westbrook, calling me a cold is just a sarcastic remark, but her zero is a fact.” Maliklum said, chuckling to himself, while those around him agreed.

Ms. Sibruz surveyed the classroom with a serious expression. Then she waved her wand. Crimson clay, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, gagged the students who were secretly laughing. This was the limit of what she could do for Louise using her authority as a professor.

"You can continue listening to the lesson like this!" The laughter in the classroom stopped.

"Then let's begin the lesson." Westbrook coughed loudly and waved his wand. Several small stones appeared on the table.

"As you all know, my title is Red Earth. Westbrook of Red Earth. From now on, I will be teaching you all a year of earth magic courses. Do you know the four major systems of magic, Mr. Maliklum?" After saying that, Westbrook dispelled Maliklum's magic.

After all, Westbrook can't really let students have their mouths stuffed with mud for an entire class; a small punishment is enough.

“Yes, yes. It’s the four major systems: fire, water, earth, and wind,” Maliklum said somewhat nervously.

Sibruz nodded.

"Including the now-lost Void System, there are a total of five major systems, as everyone knows. Among the five major systems, the Earth System occupies a very important position, at least that's what I think."

“I’m not saying this simply because I’m an Earth System user. Nor am I saying this by using myself as an example.” Westbrook coughed heavily again.
