Magic High School.

That evening, in a noble mansion in the duchy, Valerie changed into a very gorgeous dress. At this moment, she really looked like a noble lady, rather than a golden retriever.

“Yes, yes, get everything ready. My friends love this kind of hot pot. Head Maid, also, prepare enough magic lamps.”

"Oh, right, sis, please keep an eye on things. I'm going to contact my friends!" Valerie hurriedly made arrangements and then sent a message to her friends in the group chat.

Then she saw her younger siblings, also dressed in formal attire, come to her side. Her younger brother, who had been spoiled since childhood, asked directly, "Sister, how many of your friends are male?"

Valerie wanted to give her troublesome younger brother a good beating, but then she thought about how the dress made it difficult for her to move around and she was afraid it would break if she exerted too much force, so she explained instead.

"I think, just one," she tried to say.

Li Ge is male, Yi Lian is genderless, and Xiao Ye is female, so there is only one.

"What kind of man is he? Is he strong? How strong? How many magic spells does he know?" The younger brother asked, seemingly eager to know the secret.

At that moment, Valerie fell silent.

After a long silence, she finally spoke, "Perhaps he doesn't know a single spell?"

Putting aside the field, it seems that Li Ge really doesn't know any spells. Right, he seems to have used a dream entry spell before, but that thing also relies on incense. So, rounding up, it's like he doesn't know any spells at all.

As for domains, Valerie prefers to view them as an independent combat system rather than a "technique".

Then, the seemingly spoiled younger brother grinned, revealing an extremely arrogant expression, and pointed at himself with his thumb, saying, "A magician who doesn't even know a single spell? How pathetic is he? Sister, were you fooled by some shady man?"

Chapter 238 You'll get used to it!

In that instant, an eerie silence descended upon the air.

Valerie has a large family. Even if they aren't relatives, she has an older sister, three younger sisters, and this younger brother who is only eleven years old.

Because he was the only son in the family, and the youngest child after his six-year-old sister, he was spoiled rotten by the maids, butler, parents, and even the other knights under his command from birth.

They've been spoiled like this ever since!

It's hard now, it's hard now, my fist is hard!

Valerie felt an urge to completely disregard her slightly tight dress and give this brat a good beating right there and then, to teach him why flowers are so red.

But after glancing at her watch and seeing that her friends in the group had already replied that they were coming right away, she forced herself to say, "You wicked brat, get back to your room! You dare to cause trouble for me today and embarrass me? You'll see if I beat you to death later!"

Valerie threatened her younger brother fiercely. This brat deserved a beating. Since their parents couldn't bear to hit him, she would give him a good beating herself.

Even if you were the one hitting him, it would probably be considered good. But if Li Ge heard this, that narrow-minded guy might do something terrible to you. He might make you go into his territory and give you all sorts of terrible treatments before letting you out.

The little boy seemed to want to be mischievous, but after seeing Valerie actually pull her belt out of her dress, he shrank back and ran away.

"That kid is really spoiled! I just hope he doesn't cause any trouble and embarrass me!" Valerie sighed.

Unlike the others, Valerie has both parents, many sisters, and a spoiled younger brother. Her family alone has nearly ten members, which is completely different from her friends, whose other friends all seem to have lost both parents.

Her father was a high priest of the cathedral, and her mother was a saint in the cathedral, now known as the Virgin Mary. It can be said that her family was truly perfect and complete.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this sense of perfection that her younger brother has been spoiled into such a bad character!

She let out a long breath and immediately began instructing the maids to prepare for the rehearsal, while also arranging everything: dinner, the house, the fine wine...

Although her friends said to just be casual, she didn't think so. Perhaps it was a little vanity, or perhaps she really wanted to invite her friends over to play, but she decided to do her best.

The spectacle should at least be respectable!

Soon, the portal seemed to open, and Valerie's eyes lit up. At this moment, she was no longer as casual as before, but instead displayed the proper etiquette of a noble lady. Wearing a very fitted dress that was even a little too tight, she spoke elegantly.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Grand Duke of Saint Gluckia's residence," she greeted, displaying what she considered to be a very elegant and haughty manner.

At that moment, the dozen or so maids around them bowed in unison, saying with impeccable manners, "Welcome to the Saint Gluckia residence."

……

“I am the heir of Saint Glutsia. From a young age, they have said I am a genius.” Vargas Saint Glutsia knew from childhood that he would be the sole heir of the Saint Glutsia family and the future Holy Knight Commander.

“They all say I’m a genius. I’m born with the ability to sense spiritual energy. I’m sure I’ll become the new head of the family and defeat the empire.”

The little boy thought this with pride in his heart.

“My sisters are all getting married. Although it is said that my second sister disappeared after she once broke into the family’s forbidden area. When she returned, everything had changed and she even received personal commendation from the Empress.”

"But it doesn't matter. I am still the only male heir of the Saint Glutsia family. My second sister can even become my help in the future! Let our Saint Glutsia family remain great."

"But one day, my second sister started frequently talking about a hateful guy."

"He's clearly a magician, yet he doesn't know a single spell."

"Just how pathetic must this guy be? What kind of ugly face does he have?"

The little boy laughed; he wanted to see what that pathetic, ugly guy actually looked like.

He completely ignored his second sister's threats and quietly bypassed the corridor.

"Welcome to the Santa Gluttony Residence."

The maids' synchronized voices filled the air, making him even more excited.

The thought that a mage didn't know a single spell, and that this person was even his second sister's friend, made him want to make fun of his second sister!

He suddenly arrived at the end of the corridor and saw those people being welcomed by the maids.

A woman wearing a mask so her face couldn't be seen, and a blue-haired, androgynous figure with his hands in his pockets... water?

His innate psychic perception allowed him to sense that Yi Lian was not human, but rather more like a mass of water.

That must be the last one. He has to see just how unlucky that guy really is!

The next instant, he saw a man wearing a gold trench coat with a purple lining.

He seemed to have noticed me too, but only glanced at me casually.

In that instant, with just a casual glance, without any real attention, those yellow and purple pupils swept over him.

At that moment, the little boy's pupils widened.

"What a pathetic fellow he must be!" He looked into the man's eyes.

For a moment, he felt as if he wasn't seeing a person, but... a lion...

In that casual gaze, which seemed to disregard him entirely, he saw a terrifying lion hidden in the man's pupils, and a terrifying spiritual pressure that almost surpassed that of his father, the Holy Knight Commander...

His pupils were wide open, and at that moment he took a deep breath, not daring to exhale.

The lion seemed to be staring intently at him, its spiritual pressure as terrifying as the deep sea, almost suffocating him.

In that instant, his innate talent—the ability to easily sense the spiritual energy of those around him—seemed to have reached its limit, almost crushing him completely, torturing, humiliating, and killing him right there...

"Hey! Who told you to come out?" Valerie yelled.

Xiao Ye, who was standing next to Li Ge, merely glanced at the boy with the Tang-like face and casually asked, "Your family?"

“A spoiled little brother,” Valerie said immediately, embarrassed, before quickly arranging for a maid to take him away.

The others paid no attention to the kid and casually walked into the courtyard.

“You’re dead, you brat!” Valerie said viciously.

Normally, at this point, his good-for-nothing younger brother would either be talking back or saying sarcastic things, but now, he seemed to have no such intention at all. He was easily dragged away by the maid, but he kept staring at Li Ge and the others' backs until they completely disappeared from sight.

"Bang!"

That's the sound of the door closing.

At this moment, he seemed to have barely come to his senses, and his eyes were filled with the lion hidden in his pupils.

"That man..."

"That man whose pupils hold the lion's gaze..."

He murmured incoherently.

"That man in the yellow and purple outfit..."

He frantically rushed into the closet, desperately searching for clothes in yellow and purple to match...

……

Meanwhile, in the living room.

Looking at the luxurious dining table, which would be considered a Manchu Han Imperial Feast even in modern times, Li Ge and the others were speechless.

"I told you there was no need for such a grand display. You've got maids lining the way to welcome us, and such a huge table. Don't you feel bad about spending your parents' money?" Yilian complained.

He was the one who suggested coming to Valerie's house first. Before that, he really thought that Valerie's family was just a simple knightly family, the kind that belonged to the upper-middle class.

But I never expected her family to be so wealthy, with a ducal mansion covering several kilometers in the capital, and such a grand display.

This damned feudalism!

Yi Lian said viciously to herself.

Even Xiaoye was taken aback by the grandeur of the Duke's mansion and Valerie's family, but she still said, "You're being too polite."

She had seen far more magnificent places, but in this feudal era, such a grand display and banquet was already considered the most luxurious. It was estimated that even the queen of this duchy might not have a banquet of this caliber every month.

"Sigh, it didn't cost much, just a little more work for the maids. But they'll get extra rewards after today. Oh, let me introduce you all, this is my eldest sister, Vatis!" Valerie immediately introduced another mature and sexy woman in a dress beside her.

"Hello, thank you all for taking care of my little Valerie at school," the older sister said with a mature and knowledgeable air.

Valerie and the others might not give her any face, but when it came to her family, Li Ge and the others didn't act silly. Instead, they greeted and responded to them very formally.

“Then I won’t disturb your dinner any longer. My father, Grand Duke Saint Gluckia, and my mother should be back to entertain you later. If you need anything, please feel free to ask the maids or tell Valerie directly. I will take care of it,” the eldest sister continued.

"Oh, you're too kind," Yi Lian quickly replied.

They marveled at how, despite being sisters and even bearing some resemblance, Valerie's older sister was far superior to her. She was mature, intellectual, and exuded the elegance of a noblewoman, yet without arrogance.

This is a world apart from Valerie, who is as boisterous as a human golden retriever every day.

After bowing, the eldest sister left. Compared to her carefree younger siblings, she clearly understood just how noble Valerie's "classmates" were—the kind of distinguished guests that even the Queen might personally come to greet.

Therefore, she was very polite, and even looked each person up and down the moment she saw them, analyzing their general personality.

This is a required course for the eldest daughter of a great noble family and for aspiring priests in the church.

Valerie, on the other hand, had never experienced any of these things. From a young age, she practiced swordsmanship, horseback riding, and physical training, following the path of a paladin.

The eldest sister even glanced at Yilian a few times. She actually had some ideas of her own, but upon seeing Li Ge and Xiao Ye for the first time, she realized that the relationship between the two was not simple. After preparing to set her sights on Yilian, she discovered that Yilian was completely the other extreme.

However, in the end, that little thought was extinguished.
