Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

However, this idea only flashed through his mind for a moment before Gu Chen immediately rejected it.

"You're kidding. Even if he's a fallen heir to the throne, he wouldn't be thrown into the slums with no one to protect him."

"Moreover... now that they've entered Gray Tower Academy, the Kingdom of Lorian probably won't be able to do anything they want."

"Jim is only similar in hair color; otherwise, he doesn't look like a potential heir to the throne at all."

Gu Chen sat in the chair, his mind racing with various ideas, which he then rejected one after another.

"So, teacher, I've told you everything I know. May I leave now?"

Ken spoke up at this point, having already fulfilled the requirements of the contract, whether it was informing about the Antinoya family, addressing her as "teacher," or treating her to a meal...

Everything is done.

"Okay, bye-bye."

Gu Chen naturally had nothing to do to stop him, as he also had his own things to attend to.

Moreover, Ken's talent... that word "betrayal" always made Gu Chen unable to fully trust him.

It seems the best way to nurture Ken is to let him learn and improve on his own.

As for Gu Chen himself, all he had to do was wait for the analysis point to come to his door!

So he didn't have anything to do to keep Ken; he had done what he needed to do.

"Okay, see you in the cafeteria in a week."

See you in a week.

Ken said goodbye, put on the hood of his dark green-grey robe, and then opened the door to the private room and left.

After Ken left, only Gu Chen and Jim remained in the warm private room.

Gu Chen leaned back in his chair, tilting his head slightly back, enjoying this hard-won rest time...

"How sudden... a sudden attack, a sudden second student, a sudden murder, a sudden political conspiracy and some kind of hidden identity..."

"I just want to survive. It would be even better if I could have a few good students."

"But now it seems... I no longer have any expectations for a peaceful and happy life."

Gu Chen sighed softly and looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling.

"Right now... the most important thing is to break through the limitations of my talent as soon as possible."

He raised his right hand, and a few drops of blood, crystal clear and beautiful like gemstones, appeared before his eyes.

"Two portions of wizard's blood..."

"One copy is from Alyssa, who is already dead; it's the blood of a mid-level Blood Wizard."

"One is Ken, the blood of a high-level mind wizard."

Then he waved his hand again, and the two portions of wizard's blood returned to his body, quietly stored in his blood vessels.

Gu Chen could feel that his body was eager to absorb the two portions of blood; this was the blood wizard's instinctive craving for blood.

As this feeling welled up inside him, he smiled. The thought that his talent could be enhanced by absorbing these two portions of blood, as well as Jim's blood, filled him with joy.

I just feel a bit sentimental.

"In the Gray Tower, knowledge and talent are strongly correlated; without talent, you can't do anything."

"Is this fair or unfair?"

During his month-long stay here, Gu Chen witnessed many talented new students. Some looked like they were from wealthy families, while others looked like they had just crawled out of a slum. Still others wore simple clothes and ate simple meals. These children's parents were probably ordinary people with modest incomes, but enough to make a living.

But as long as you have the talent, you can come to Grey Tower Academy.

Even pheasants can take flight... but they'll most likely still end up being used as raw materials.

"But blood sorcerers like me can advance by plundering the talents of others. I wonder if Alyssa is also on this path?"

However, talent is not fixed. At least Gu Chen knew that as a blood wizard, he could improve his talent by obtaining the blood of others.

The thought of Alyssa's aristocratic demeanor naturally deepened Gu Chen's recollection, and he noticed that the number of freshmen dressed in fine clothes was significantly greater than those in tattered clothes.

"Heh...that's really fair."

"Next, I will officially begin participating in the activities of Gray Tower Academy."

"Resources, students, materials... I have to fight for all of these myself."

"And all of this started with the assessment one month later... no, it was the assessment 29 days later."

Gu Chen stood up, stretched, and straightened up.

"And I have already mastered three blood sorcery spells, all of which I have reached the level of proficiency!"

Gu Chen felt the flow of blood within his body. If we were to discuss only his understanding of blood magic, Gu Chen was confident that, through the enhancement of his understanding of magic using analysis points, no blood wizard of the same level had a deeper understanding than him!

However, he was the only low-level Blood Wizard left in the academy.

"The remaining task is to raise your mental strength to 1000 points to meet the second requirement of the assessment. Only then can you pass the academy's assessment and become a mid-level first-ring blood wizard."

"Then I need to hurry and educate Jim, acquiring analytical points to strengthen his understanding of basic meditation techniques!"

"Another option is to obtain Jim's apprentice blood and try to advance my own talent."

After figuring out what he needed to do next, Gu Chen glanced at Jim, who was still fast asleep beside him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

But if Jim were to open his eyes now, he would probably be terrified...

This means Jim will be severely pushed to study again.

"Hello? Waiter?"

"What is it?"

"Could you please pack this Shadowmoon Grey Wolf hind leg meat for me? Thank you."

Jim was still lying in the chair, showing no signs of waking up. Gu Chen didn't feel anything was wrong either. The child had experienced too much in the past day and night. He was just a child, and he needed to rest.

Let's save this dish for Jim. He can eat some when he wakes up, and... maybe it will help Jim remember some things from the past.

Gu Chen knew that some conspiracies were brewing and that preventative measures needed to be taken. However, he could not act rashly. He needed to gather as much information as possible. This was not about sitting idly by and waiting for death, but about waiting for the opportune moment.

"Okay, 1 magic stone fragment."

"?"

"You charge for takeout too?"

"Of course, Blood Wizard Gu Chen."

Gu Chen had already walked up to Jim, intending to pick him up and take him back to his cabin...

As a result, the waiter's gentle voice came to mind, uttering the most cruel request in the gentlest voice.

That means giving money.

"...I'd like to ask, once the food is packaged, can injecting magic into the container guarantee that the original flavor will be preserved?"

Gu Chen thought about it and realized that the owner of this giant tentacle possessed the strength of a second-ring mind wizard...

There's really no chance of skipping out on the bill.

"Yes, sir."

"Give."

Gu Chen's expression twisted for a moment, then he fumbled in his robe and took out one of the only two fragments of the magic stone.

The moment the tentacle took out the magic stone fragment, it slid in smoothly and snatched away Gu Chen's packing fee.

Then another tentacle, with a silver oval cap, covered the hind leg meat of the Shadowmoon Grey Wolf on the dining table.

Then, the gap in the lid actually merged with the plate, and there was a small handle at the top of the plate for carrying.

"Take care, thank you."
