A stinky cultivator has arrived in the magic world.

Chapter 35 Tigers and leopards never associate with jackals and wolves.

The blond youth bowed slightly, his smile reserved and composed.

"After all, tigers and leopards never roam with jackals. How could ordinary, uncouth people be qualified to walk alongside a lady of such high status as you?"

He didn't even glance at Lorne and Thormont, as if they weren't even worthy of his attention.

What a classic scene...

Lorne's lips twitched, and he turned his head away.

But upon hearing this, Tormont looked up, carefully examined the blond youth for a few moments, and suddenly realized:

"So you're orcs, but we're not."

The blond youth's reserved and polite expression instantly froze.

"Kukuku..."

Lorne couldn't hold it in any longer and started sobbing with his head down.

Viola coughed lightly, pressing her bottom firmly into the seat and refusing to move.

"I'm perfectly fine sitting here. Lorne is my friend, and so is Thormont. Whether I'm in the front row or the back row, I can listen to the lecture without any trouble."

The blond youth, Chrysace, clearly hadn't expected Viola to reject him. In his mind, they were both of noble birth and had such outstanding talents. They were also among the few elemental resonance members in this generation, and should have been born to be in the same circle.

He thought for a moment and then advised:

"Miss Viola, you should know the power of our student council. You must have heard that a few days ago, an alchemical genius emerged from the academy and solved the predicament of the dwarf alchemy workshop."

Viola was genuinely surprised: "You know him?"

Chryseth smiled but did not answer the question directly:

"If Miss Viola were also a member of our council, with our influence, we could certainly introduce you. Surely such a genius would be worthy of attention even by the Norton family?"

The Norton family is Viola's family.

"I thought you guys actually knew each other~" Viola muttered a few words. After all, she came from a prominent family, and she didn't need to think to understand the subtext. They were just using someone else's name as a pretext.

No, strictly speaking, they didn't even have a tiger skin. They didn't even know who this person was. They just heard some so-called gossip and used it to brag.

Once Viola understood this, she suddenly felt utterly bored:

"No interest. My friends and I don't want to get involved with your kind of organization."

After saying that, she turned to the side and ignored the blond youth and his companions.

Chryseth, despite his rebuff, wasn't embarrassed. His gaze swept over Lorne and Thormon, lingering for a moment on the faded undershirts peeking out from their collars, a slight smile curving his lips.

"That senior is a genius, he must be of noble birth to have such profound alchemy skills. Only the student council is qualified to make contact with him. Since the Norton family is not interested, I will not bother them."

He turned to leave, then, as if remembering something, turned back and added:

"Geniuses and mediocrities have never been from the same world. Hopefully, your friends won't be discouraged by us later."

The people around him glanced at them, letting out a few faint laughs. Although they didn't say anything, the condescending feeling they exuded made everyone extremely uncomfortable.

Lorne was unmoved by this. In his opinion, it was just a bunch of children playing house. They clearly didn't have much life experience, but they were eager to show their maturity, so they imitated the elders in their families and formed cliques.

It doesn't mean anything.

But Viola disagreed:

"No way, what's he pretending for? He's putting on such airs, yet he has absolutely no official rank. He's not even as talented as me, and he's questioning my taste in friends?"

After muttering a couple of words, she pressed down on Lorne's shoulder again:

"Lorne, you can even forge magical items now! There aren't many in your year who can surpass you. If you can really humiliate him later and get your revenge, I'll treat you to a month's worth of cafeteria barbecue!"

Lorne shook his head: "No need."

"You lack confidence?" Viola thought Lorne was somewhat ashamed of himself. After all, he came from a small town and hadn't seen much of the world. It was understandable that he was a little apprehensive, being targeted by such noble-born students as soon as he arrived at the magic academy.

"Don't worry about them, I'll protect you! You're all my buddies!"

Lorne was both amused and exasperated.

Why does this girl like to overthink things?

As they spoke, the morning mist gradually dissipated, and a dazzling light descended from the sky, exceptionally brilliant, revealing a figure that resembled an angel.

Professor Mérené's second lesson began.

Professor Merennie glanced around briefly, paused slightly in the area where Lorne and the others were, praised the new students for their progress in their studies, and then began his lecture.

As the sun rose, she explained one by one the precautions that newly initiated magic apprentices needed to take. Many of the students present listened with great interest, and even those who had not yet begun their studies listened attentively.

Professor Melanie was calm and composed. The classroom atmosphere wasn't particularly lively, but she explained things very carefully, covering all the issues that beginners need to pay attention to when embarking on the path of magic.

For Lorne, these contents were also very worthwhile to listen to. Although the path he was cultivating was not magic, all things lead to the same goal. Some philosophies in the field of magic could be applied to other areas, which sparked his thoughts on cultivation. When the two were compared, he gained some unique insights.

This is extremely rare. For beginners, the most precious thing is experience. The insights and experiences of predecessors in their cultivation process are no less than guiding lights for later generations. They can be inspired, cultivate correct cultivation thinking, and improve cultivation efficiency.

Then, Professor Melanie repeated the content of the previous lesson, using the light magic "spiritual perception" as a medium to help some students who had not yet been enlightened to sense magical elements and strive to enlighten them. Many more students successfully became magic apprentices, and the number was much larger than in the previous lesson, exceeding half.

Having finished, Professor Melanie withdrew her spiritual perception magic, returned to the center, and gestured for everyone to quiet down:

"At the end of the last class, I said that the ten students who were most proficient in using magic would be awarded credits, and now it's time to keep my promise."

Everyone became restless.

After a few days of getting to know each other, they all realized how difficult it was to earn credits. Even if they completed all the normal courses in an academic year, they would only get fifty credits. The remaining fifty credits had to be earned through various tasks.

These tasks are all challenging and require their utmost effort. They are good for training people, but they are also very difficult. Every year, quite a few students have to repeat a year because of them. And this is only under the premise that they are all geniuses. If it were students from other colleges with more average talents, it would be even more difficult.

Even Viola looked eager to try, ready to show off and impress her classmates.

At the front, a group of people, led by the blond youth Chrysace, stood tall and proud, looking down on everyone else.

However, Professor Mérené did not rush to announce the assessment format.

Instead, he looked behind him and said:

"Before that, you will have a senior student who will also be coming to class."

The crowd, confused, turned around.

Then gasps of surprise erupted.
