My older sister is a villainous rich girl.

"You can sit in the empty seat at the back of the classroom for now. The seats will be rearranged after the academic ability test."

Tommy told Wayne, "The first day of school is all free time for teachers to interact, so don't worry about getting along with your teachers and classmates. As for the school uniform, since it needs to be custom-made, you might need to go to the logistics office yourself."

"Okay, thank you for your help, teacher." Wayne walked to his seat.

A stack of brand-new books was already laid out on his desk, apparently prepared in advance for him.

Whispers could be heard from the students around them, not exactly discreet: "Is it that one...?"

"Is it him? Duke Elliott's adopted son?"

"Wow, he's so cute!"

All sorts of ambiguous gazes were focused on Wayne.

However, Wayne's gaze was completely drawn to the figure sitting in the very center.

The First Prince, Richard Maysfield, was resting his chin on his hand on the table, giving him a casual glance.

When Wayne first met him, he felt a strong sense of pressure.

……

During the break, he was surrounded by many enthusiastic faces.

"Wayne, may I call you that?"

"Ah, please go ahead."

"Hey, I've heard that the members of your Winchester family are born with a high affinity for magic. Is that true?"

"Really? I've never heard of that."

"Um, what does Chris do at home every day? Wayne must know, right?"

"Excuse me, everyone, I need to go pick up my school uniform. Could you please let me pass?"

After quickly shaking off his overly curious classmates, Wayne headed to the logistics department.

He had briefly glanced at the textbooks on the table. The content was not extensive, mostly covering humanities subjects, with very few science-related courses, only the most basic arithmetic.

I don't know if it's because the teaching objectives of the primary school are relatively basic.

However, the book that interested him the most was this one: "The Origin and Development of Magic".

Legend has it that magic originated in the lost ages of antiquity.

The leader of the people, the King of Kings, went through countless hardships to enable mankind to have better survival capabilities. Finally, he reached an eternal pact with the spirits born from nature. As a result, the spirits agreed to lend their power to the followers of the King of Kings.

This story has been passed down for thousands of years, and the existence of elves has long since disappeared into the annals of history, making it impossible to verify.

No... originally no one would have thought about verifying such things, as long as the magic could be used.

Moreover, there is now a church that worships the King of Kings, and its influence is extremely strong.

If we question this legend, wouldn't that be questioning the existence of the King of Kings? This is something the Church absolutely cannot accept.

Over the years, people have gradually discovered some methods that can make the use of magic more efficient and convenient. So people systematized these methods, selected young talents with magical abilities, and carefully taught them.

This was the predecessor of the Magic Academy.

In the dead of night, Wayne had also secretly tried to circulate magic.

He could sense small points of light in the surrounding space. If he used magic to call out to them, some of the little creatures would respond and drift toward his location; however, most of the small points of light remained unmoved and indifferent.

In "The Origin and Development of Magic," scholars define these small points of light as magical elements.

There are five basic elements of magic: wind, wood, water, fire, and earth. Legend has it that there are also some extremely rare special elements, such as the light magic possessed by the original female protagonist.

The magical element that Wayne can use is earth. Although it's not some rare, powerful, or cool element, he's already satisfied.

It's worth noting that being able to project magic before the age of 15 is already considered quite talented. Wayne, known as a magical genius, can even summon giant earthen golems and create mud pits and cracks in the ground using the most savage surges of magic—high-difficulty spells that are completely different from Chris's ability to only summon a small mound of earth.

After entering the magic academy and undergoing systematic learning, the gap will only widen.

This is also one of the reasons why Wayne is confident in leaving for a distant future.

It's no wonder he was always thinking of running away with the bucket. Based on his years of experience watching anime and reading novels, Wayne came to a universal truth: you can never rely on the conscience of a time traveler.

That's no different from a high-stakes gamble where you bet everything.

Hmm... it's too early to tell anything, but if Chris, the time traveler from the Heavenly Dynasty, is really too much of a jerk, then I'll have to say goodbye to the beautiful girl with a heavy heart.

"Wayne Wincher, Class 5-B, three sets of school uniforms. If lost, you will need to pay a new uniform fee to get another one, so please take good care of them."

The young school janitor handed him a handmade bag containing clothing.

The uniforms of Seiki Academy were designed by several world-renowned artists. They are beautiful, elegant and formal, yet youthful and lively.

To promote students' individual development, the school even allows them to make subtle modifications to their uniforms' bow ties and ribbons without altering the overall look.

So the students in uniforms on campus all looked very energetic; the boys were handsome and the girls were beautiful, which was a pleasant sight.

If Wayne's school on Earth had offered uniforms like these, he probably wouldn't have taken them off even to sleep.

Wayne was quite excited to receive his new clothes, and his steps back to the classroom were much lighter.

"Hey, kid over there! Why aren't you wearing a uniform?" Another girl called out to Wayne, accompanied by two slightly taller girls.

Why are you here again?

Wayne showed her the bag he was carrying, and said with a pained expression, "I'm a freshman who just enrolled today, and I just received this..."

"Huh? A freshman?" Before he could finish speaking, the girl interrupted him, "Since you're a freshman, shouldn't you be preparing in advance? And why don't you greet us seniors?"

Wayne was stunned by her barrage of words and didn't know how to refute her for a moment.

In China, there's no rule about greeting unfamiliar upperclassmen when you pass by.

Moreover, even in Western countries, there shouldn't be such a custom; parents often address their children by their first names.

Seeing his dazed expression, the three girls surrounded him.

Which class are you in?

The girl in the lead subtly glanced at his clothes; they were simple and elegant, but without any fancy accessories.

"No matter which remote corner of the country you came from to the capital, since you've been fortunate enough to enter our Qingxi Academy, you must learn the rules here properly!"

She smiled maliciously.

"Heh~ We're trying to help you. If you're this clueless when you run into some big shots... you'll get hurt~"

Wayne finally understood.

This is a typical villainous character, unlike Chris who is an unconventional type.
