I really just want to hang out in the magic world.

Chapter 124 Preparing to borrow money

The students were nodding one after another before, but suddenly they all stopped, as if they realized something was wrong.

"Guinando, you bastard! You still care about that at a time like this!"

"I only said it because I was in a hurry! You all said what you needed, so why can't I say it?" Ganando said unconvinced.

"Everyone calm down, Vodanaz has gone to bed."

"What?!"

In order to be able to set off early on Sunday morning, Ruan Xiaozhe immediately returned to his room after completing the alchemy task.

……

"Why can't I sleep?"

Ruan Xiaozhe felt that he was a little ridiculous.

He is no longer a child, but he can't sleep like a child looking forward to a spring outing...

But this feeling is different from the excitement of looking forward to the spring outing. It is more like the nervousness and anxiety of facing a difficult exam.

"Can I really get out successfully?"

If someone saw him in this state, they would probably think he was going to take a graduation exam, and might even say, "What's the big deal about leaving school?"

But Ruan Xiaozhe was indeed serious.

Although this time he was using his pass legitimately, Ruan Xiaozhe did not dare to take it lightly.

He was sure that this school must have set some kind of trap!

"Think ahead and think about what unexpected events might occur."

Ruan Xiaozhe thought, first of all, using a carriage or riding a horse is definitely prohibited.

The same is true when enrolling in school. The school will never allow such a thing.

But the school is so big, it takes a long time just to walk around the campus...

"I have to bring back as much as I can... How far is the nearest village?"

"Distance is really a problem." Ruan Xiaozhe sighed.

Although he had used a carriage when he first escaped, he didn't have one now, so perhaps he had to walk.

The school might set up a village far away and then say to Ruan Xiaozhe: "Have fun, go there and come back in one day!"

"Damn it, I should have learned some magic that can help me move faster!"

Ruan Xiaozhe was secretly annoyed.

If he learned magic to strengthen his body, he wouldn't have to worry about these things at all.

Although, such worries are not what a freshman should have.

Wow!

A sound!

"Um?!"

Suddenly, a book on the bookshelf flew out by itself and opened its pages.

This book was given to Ruan Xiaozhe by Principal Skeleton last time. It is a black book without a cover.

At this moment, tentacles made of words stretched out from the black book and directly rolled Ruan Xiaozhe up!

"What's this……"

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Xiaozhe had already arrived in an unfamiliar place.

It was an empty wilderness, with nothing visible to the sky and the distant horizon.

Ruan Xiaozhe instinctively realized that this was an illusion created by the black book.

boom!

At this time, a black book appeared in front of Ruan Xiaozhe, floating in the air and automatically turning the pages.

Ruan Xiaozhe looked at it and saw that the page showed the magic that he had learned but not completed in the punishment room before - Os's agile steps.

"Are you asking me to learn this now?" Ruan Xiaozhe asked softly.

The black book shook gently up and down, as if to express affirmation.

"Did you just understand my troubles and recommend this to me?"

The black book shook up and down again to express its affirmation, and it looked a little cute.

Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but feel that his mood was a little better.

The little guy was smarter than he thought.

"But it's too late to study now, and I have to leave tomorrow. Can you take me back?"

The black book stopped in the air, then slowly swayed from side to side, as if in refusal.

"Why?" Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but reflect on the good impression he had just had on it...

That’s right, since it is a book given by Principal Skeleton, how could it be normal?

“…Burn!”

Ruan Xiaozhe tried to release flames to burn it, but the magic did not work.

The black book shrugged and turned the page again.

It seemed to indicate that he had no choice but to learn "Os's agile steps" at the moment.

"..."

Ruan Xiaozhe sighed, tightened his wand in his hand again, and wanted to hit him.

……

When Ruan Xiaozhe came out of the book illusion, it was already dawn.

At this moment, in the principal's office.

"Prisoner number!" shouted the Skeleton Principal.

"Well, master, I'm not a criminal." A voice sounded aggrieved.

"Oh, yeah, sorry, I get a little confused sometimes."

"Ugh……"

Listening to the conversation between the Skeleton Principal and his summoned beast, Ruan Xiaozhe yawned.

Now their level of conversation was no longer enough to surprise him.

Although the black book had forcibly dragged him into illusion training last night, fortunately, it did not deprive him of sleep.

After all, it was just training in a dream.

Of course, he was still a little tired after waking up...

"This principal, I actually think that he is worthy of gratitude for this little favor. I feel pathetic myself." Ruan Xiaozhe looked at the principal with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Congratulations on being qualified to go out, Vodanaz! This is a well-deserved reward for your achievements, so feel proud! Go out and have fun!" said the principal with a smile.

"Thank you, that's nothing, I'm ready to go."

"Of course, the rules are simple! Leave at sunrise today and come back at sunrise tomorrow. If you don't come back, I will send a hunting party to catch you."

"..."

Although Ruan Xiaozhe was mentally prepared, he still found it a bit absurd when he heard him say it himself.

"You can only bring what you can carry yourself. You cannot rent a carriage or horse, or any other means of transportation!" the principal continued.

"I see."

"Then do your best!"

"Is that it, over?" Ruan Xiaozhe felt a little confused.

"Are these rules more relaxed than I thought?"

He originally thought there would be restrictions on the amount of money used, the weight of the items, and the volume of the items.

But there are no such restrictions?!

What exactly is going on?

……

Early in the morning on weekends.

Ruan Xiaozhe is running desperately.

Because of this, he was able to reach his destination, the village of Filone, when the sun rose overhead.

This is the closest village to the magic school.

……

"...So, there are no noble mansions in this village now?"

"Hey, it looks like you're a student who escaped from the magic school? Yes, after the semester started, the school sent people to move those mansions far away."

“Oh, I see…” Ruan Xiaozhe touched his chin.

Generally speaking, the great nobles of the empire would not leave the vicinity of the school even when the school term began.

For convenience, they would buy mansions in nearby villages and station servants and slaves there.

The nobles have always spent money lavishly, so Ruan Xiaozhe had high hopes for this - he had originally planned to take the students' signed account books to these mansions and exchange them for some pocket money...

But now Ruan Xiaozhe was really speechless.

“This school is crazy.”

"Then where did these mansions move to?" Ruan Xiaozhe asked unwillingly.

"They all moved to Glendon City over there."

"How long does it take to get to Granden City..."

"It will take several days to ride a horse..."

"so far……"

Ruan Xiaozhe finally understood why the school did not set any restrictions on the amount, weight or volume of items.

Because they have blocked all avenues for students to obtain funds in advance!

What can I buy if I don’t have money?!

Even if some students managed to escape to the nearest village of Filone, it would be in vain!

"…Is it really necessary to go this far?!" Ruan Xiaozhe shouted angrily!

"What did you say?"

"nothing."

Ruan Xiaozhe raised his head. Although there was no way out now, he would never back down!

"Where is the nearest Chamber of Commerce building here?" Ruan Xiaozhe tried to calm himself down and asked.

"The Chamber of Commerce building? It's on that street over there, but...what are you going to do?"

"I need to borrow money."

"Oh oh..."

The villagers were shocked.

The boy in front of me clearly looks like he comes from a noble family...

"Is this really good?"
