Don't confiscate my citizenship

If you want to become famous as quickly as possible.

You can even gain the favor of some of the most powerful or strongest people in the world and build up your network of contacts.

Then becoming a card-making master must be the shortcut that best suits your talents.

Going to Ikerita Academy and relying on the resources of the Magic Engineering Institute is a hundred times more efficient than staying in such a border city-state to research card making alone.

The royal capital is also a stage more suitable for him to display his talents.

At worst, as long as he could make a fortune in the royal capital of Ikerite, he could find a way to bring down his father's Wilford Chamber of Commerce with his own hands and avoid the destruction of his family!

"Ok?"

Noe raised his eyebrows, not realizing Lanqi's filial piety at the moment, but he doubted Lanqi's confidence in enrolling in school.

He thought that his stupid son, who acted like a gangster, would be exposed here.

Unexpectedly, Lanqi not only frowned but also continued to be stubborn.

Lanqi's reaction today was indeed beyond Noe's expectations at every step.

Although Noe did not have much energy to take care of Lanqi's daily life, every time he asked the housekeeper and the maid about Lanqi's condition, they both tried their best to protect Lanqi.

But Noe is not stupid. He can roughly judge what kind of state Lanqi usually lives in.

"Since you put it that way, if you pass the entrance exam successfully, then I misunderstood you, and I will apologize to you..."

Noe said in a deep voice, his eyes as sharp as torches, deeply exploring Lanqi's emerald green eyes.

"But if you can't pass the college exam, does that mean you're deceiving our trust in you?"

"Of course, to the point."

Lanqi's response was still unhurried.

"Then I won't bother you any more today. Just continue to study hard. I will buy the train ticket to the capital for you in advance, so you don't have to worry about these."

At this point, seeing Lanqi promised so readily, Noe was satisfied.

Since Lanqi is still trying to be stubborn.

Noe wouldn't mind using this as a pretext to make Lanci accept the punishment willingly after suffering some setbacks.

Noe actually didn't think that Lanqi could pass the Alchemy Academy exam.

Or it is simply impossible.

Given the complexity of the Alchemy Academy exam, the number of subjects, and the extremely high passing standards, it would take at least two or three years of serious preparation.

This year's entrance examination for Ikerit College will begin in three months.

Even in the Alchemy Academy, which requires the least talent, Lanqi couldn't handle it.

When he goes to the capital and meets the talented peers from the other three academies, he will probably realize how stupid and pathetic his laziness, arrogance and short-sightedness are.

"I see."

Lanci said affirmatively.

Although his father had been questioning him in his heart, he always spoke with high emotional intelligence and wanted to send him to the royal capital. Lanqi felt respected.

Then he will definitely respond to his father's expectations.

"As long as you are sure that you can send me to the capital to show my talents, I promise that you will receive the good news that I have successfully enrolled in the Ikerita Academy in the capital."

"……Ah."

Noe almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and suppressed the mocking expression that was about to appear on his face.

Also flexing his muscles.

You just go to school, and you can't give me anything big?

Noe didn't expect today's conversation to go so smoothly. He had been prepared for something rather unpleasant between him and his father.

Punishment of Lanqi is inevitable, because he wants to teach the arrogant and overconfident Lanqi to pay the price for his mistakes.

Unexpectedly, today, a good peace treaty was reached because of Lanqi's sincere attitude.

But in Noe's opinion, the only difference is that before punishing Ranchi, he is allowed to go to the capital to see the world.

Anyway, Lanqi was only going to take the entrance exam for Ikerit College to embarrass himself.

As for letting Lanqi go to the royal capital, Noe was not worried at all that Lanqi would become a wild horse that broke free from its reins.

In this small border town, Ranchi, who has never seen the world, can act arrogantly.

But in Ikerit, the capital city full of big shots and the real big stage of the southern continent, this dog boy will definitely not be able to cause any waves.

after all.

Noe knew Lanci very well. Lanci was just a paper tiger type of stupid dude.

It is definitely not some devil that will evolve into an uncontrollable monster once it reaches the right environment.

This is still very reassuring.

Chapter 7: Lanqi understands admission

The grandfather clock in the study ticked leisurely, and the sound of gears could be heard clearly.

The fragrance of sandalwood from the ancient books on the carved bookcase in the corner wafts through the air.

Looking at the magic desk lamp on the table that emitted soft amber light, Noe took off his glasses, closed his eyes, and his brows gradually relaxed.

Regardless of whether Lanqi was acting or not, at least he felt comforted by Lanqi's slow and leisurely attitude.

"But father, I need some money before I take the exam. Can you try to ensure that I have sufficient funds for these three months?"

Just when Noe thought Lanci was about to leave, Lanci's voice made him open his eyes again.

"What are you going to do?"

Noe asked warily.

It seems that he suspects that Lanci wants to cheat as much money as possible before the entrance examination and indulge himself in one last act.

"Making magic cards requires a lot of money for materials, and I also need to hire a suitable teacher."

Lanqi's expression and voice remained so calm.

It doesn't seem like he's lying at all.

He was indeed telling the truth.

Because after he finishes reading the code, he will start studying magic cards.

"Can you make magic cards?"

Noe asked in surprise.

This time Lanci did not answer immediately.

Actually, not yet.

He needed a perfect rhetoric to make his father trust him and invest in him wholeheartedly.

However, this time,

"I promise the young master that he will make excellent magic cards."

The butler who had been standing behind Noe spoke up.

He bent down slightly and said beside Noe,

"If you could see the painting in the young master's room, you would not worry about him anymore."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Noe turned his head and looked at the butler.

He was surprised by the butler's words, but soon he realized what was going on and was pleasantly surprised.

Then he looked at Lanqi with interest:

"Lanqi, have you started painting again recently? To be praised so highly by Hans, it must be a pretty good painting."

Hans is the name of the butler, but his previous incarnation seldom called him by his name. So Lanqi followed his previous incarnation's habit and simply used "you" when communicating with the butler.

"It's more than that..."

The butler smiled and shook his head.

Obviously, the old master has not realized the level of the young master's painting.

Anyone could tell that Noe was praising a child just now.

"Hans has always been very considerate of me. He was exaggerating."

Lanqi just pursed his lips briefly and interrupted the butler before he could finish speaking.

It would be best if Noe didn't see the portrait of Talia that hung in his bedroom.

Otherwise, if Noe happened to meet Talia in town, there might be some ridiculous misunderstanding.

"That's it."

Noe didn't take it seriously when he heard it.

The only thing that surprised Noe was Lanci's humility.

Normally, Lanci should have seized this opportunity to brag about his own talents in order to seek investment.

After hearing what Lanqi said, the butler had no intention of saying anything more.

He retreated behind Noe with a half-smile.

"Well, I hope you can pass the Alchemy Academy exam. Hans..."

Noe said some polite words of encouragement to Lanqi with a sigh, and then instructed butler Hans to provide Lanqi with the money he needed.

It was out of consideration for the old butler and Lanqi's good attitude today that Noe agreed to Lanqi's request so readily.
