It had only been three breaths since the fire started, but the smell of roasted meat was already in the air. Not only did the books fail to extinguish the flames, but they also set Clive’s pants on fire.

At this moment, Sorina’s water ball arrived. With a splash, Young Master Clive sat on the ground like a drowned rat, gasping for breath.

“Clive, go to the medical room and take the medicine. Then come to my office. Zhang Xing, come with me now!”

After saying that, Sorina took a deep look at Zhang Xing and turned to leave.

When they arrived at Sorina’s office, Zhang Xing said before she sat down, “Instructor Sorina, I’m innocent! I’m the victim!”

Looking back at Zhang Xing, who had an innocent expression on his face, Sorina wanted to laugh, but she held it in.

This child’s expressions are truly diverse. It’s such a pity that he didn’t pursue acting in that movie he mentioned on the first day of school. Who knows what peculiar things are going on in his little head?

Listening to his description of that so-called movie, it seemed to be like the noble children enjoying a clown performance and also related to profound magic. In any case, her imagination was not as good as this child’s.

After sitting down, Instructor Sorina put on a serious face and said, “Zhang Xing, I know this incident is not your fault, and there’s nothing wrong with retaliating against Clive. But by doing so, you will bring yourself a lot of trouble!”

“You’re still young. You don’t know that you can’t mess with these children of nobles.”

“The academy treats all of you students equally and does not look down upon children like you who come from commoner backgrounds, so you don’t have to worry.”

“No matter what happens in the future, you should never leave the school alone. If it’s really necessary, come find me. You must firmly remember what I’m telling you!”

“Do you understand?”

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Xing felt a deep sense of gratitude that couldn’t be expressed in words.

“I’ll remember it, Instructor Sorina!”

Zhang Xing pursed his lips and nodded seriously, acting like a little adult.

Instructor Sorina laughed at this child’s extraordinary talent. He was serious and studious. He was calm and steady.

At the same time, it could be seen that his control over magical elements had already reached a rather proficient level.

It was just that he had never participated in any activities, so he did not have any academic credits, so he could not learn beginner magic skills.

No matter how much she loved this child, she could not teach him in private. The academy’s rules couldn’t be violated.

At this moment, Sorina’s eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.

“Zhang Xing, there will be a preliminary examination for new students in three days. If you can rank in the top ten, you’ll receive a significant credit reward and be able to learn elementary magic skills!”

Zhang Xing hesitated, “Well… um…”

“What ‘well’ and ‘um’? Why are you talking like the old dean?!”

Sorina’s face was firm.

“It’s settled then. You’re not allowed to hide your talents anymore. A child like you knows how to keep a low profile. Who taught you that?”

“Don’t worry, those old folks in the academy have high expectations for you and won’t mind that little secret of yours!”

After that, Sorina’s delicate lips curled into a mysterious smile. The expression on her face seemed to tell Zhang Xing that she already knew about his little secret.

Zhang Xing’s heart was instantly stirred up. He had been discovered so quickly?

However, his expression was as calm as an ancient well.

“Alright then, I’ll listen to Instructor Sorina!”

Every subtle expression on Zhang Xing’s face was carefully observed by Instructor Sorina, but she did not notice anything out of the ordinary. Could it be that I was mistaken?

“Alright, that’s all for now. Prepare well in these two days and strive to get a good ranking in three days!”
