"No, sister, it's just that if we are too close in the academy, it will cause trouble."

"What kind of trouble?" Liya insisted, her momentum fierce, wishing she could bite Natalia Chan.

Natalia Chan didn't dare to explain the reason. She only said that being too intimate in the academy would make her uncomfortable and might attract a lot of trouble. Since they entered the magic academy, they should focus on studying.

Liya was slightly relieved by this argument. She thought about how her brother also had a hard time getting into the academy, and it would be a shame if something happened and he was expelled.

After careful consideration, Liya gave up the idea of holding hands and walking side by side with Natalia Chan in the academy. She had thought that after entering the academy, she would be able to escape the resentful gaze of that old woman and play and study with Xiao Luo.

Natalia Chan also proposed a condition, which was to forbid Liya from being too intimate with him in front of others. When Liya heard this, she stared at him fiercely and asked why. Natalia Chan stuck out his tongue and asked if Liya had forgotten that such behavior could cause a lot of trouble?

Liya immediately deflated like a balloon, realizing that her dream of being alone with her brother had disappeared so easily.

Natalia Chan naturally didn't know what Liya was thinking. He just gently touched her head, and Liya looked at him with some grievances. Then she hugged him tightly and breathed in his scent.

Ester Magic Academy, commoner teaching building.

As the only place in the magic academy where commoners could attend classes, the number of students here was actually not many. They were all specially recruited students, with only one class per grade. It could be imagined that the proportion of commoners in the academy was much smaller.

Natalia Chan had just turned twelve this year and was a freshman in the first grade. Therefore, she was very cautious in the academy and didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

After entering the class, Natalia Chan immediately sat at the front desk. The classroom was in a tiered structure, with the seats getting higher towards the back. Being closer to the front allowed the students to hear the teacher better. Maybe it was because everyone in the class was a commoner, some of the teaching teachers just read the content verbatim, requiring students to ask questions themselves.

There was still some time before class started, but all the new students in the class had already arrived. They knew better than to be late like the nobles. After all, the difference in identity was there. If they did something wrong and angered the teacher, they might be expelled and have nowhere to cry.

To be honest, Natalia Chan had no idea how the nobles were taught on the other side, but here he was somewhat dissatisfied. The classes were a bit boring, but Natalia Chan would not complain, because she had worked so hard to get into the academy and knew how precious it was for a commoner to stay in a magic academy.

After sitting in his seat, he took out his textbook and quickly glanced over the content taught in the past few days. At this moment, his shoulder was tapped by someone.

Natalia Chan raised her head and saw a boy standing in front of her. He was of average build, with his messy brown hair making him look like he had just gotten out of bed. However, his expression revealed a hint of sunshine and magnanimity.

Facing the boy's smile, Natalia Chan smiled back.

"Oh, it's you, Aewen."

"Hey, did you have a good weekend, Natalia Chan?"

"It was okay." Natalia Chan nodded, "How about you?"

"Just alright, running errands for my dad's store. Luckily I was able to come back last night." Aewen patted his chest, "Otherwise, I might not have been able to come to the academy today."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Oh, the teacher is here. I'll go back to my seat." Aewen immediately ran to his seat in the back. At the entrance, there was a male teacher in a dark blue gown, looking serious, with several white documents under his arm.

As he walked up to the podium and looked at the students, Natalia Chan faintly guessed what he was going to do next."Did you all pay attention to the material from last week?" the male teacher asked, and the students nodded.

"Well, then I'll start testing how much you actually remember. If any students fail, they will be expelled directly," he continued.

"What?!"

"That's too harsh!"

The dissatisfied voices of the students filled the classroom, but after the male teacher uttered a single "quiet," the classroom fell silent again. The reason was simple - once you angered him, you might really get expelled.

"I'll give you all a chance. If you're not confident in passing, then leave the classroom and wait in the corridor. If you believe you can pass, stay for the test."

Natalia Chan scratched her cheek and thought to herself, as expected, her sister Liya had told her that if a teacher came in with a stack of blank paper, it meant there would very likely be a written test.

"You have thirty seconds to think. If you don't leave by then, don't blame others when you get expelled. I've already given you a chance!"

After issuing the final ultimatum, the male teacher took out a small magic wand from his pocket. This kind of magic wand was specially provided by the Magic Academy to the teachers, and many nobles in the noble district also liked these lightweight and convenient magic wands. Over time, apart from the commoners, this exquisite little wand became synonymous with nobility.

The students in the classroom began to discuss incessantly upon hearing this, and Natalia Chan noticed that a classmate beside her clenched their fists and dared not speak. They gritted their teeth and abruptly stood up, leaving the classroom.

With the first person gone, naturally, others wouldn't hesitate. Everyone followed suit and left the classroom, after all, no one wanted to be expelled. At this time, it was better to be obedient and admit defeat.

Thirty seconds passed, Natalia Chan turned her head to look behind her. The once crowded classroom was now left with only about five people, including Avin.

The male teacher's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the remaining five students and said, "Five people? It seems you all have confidence in yourselves."

"Well then, let the test begin. Did you all bring quill pens with you?"

The five of them took out quill pens from their pockets, and among them, Natalia Chan's quill pen stood out the most. Her quill pen was entirely blue, like the pure and beautiful orchids that bloomed in the cold winter.

Normally, this kind of quill pen was quite rare. Everyone else's pens were either completely white or gray. To be honest, the male teacher was seeing a quill pen like Natalia Chan's for the first time.

With great interest, the male teacher touched his chin and smiled.

"Natalia Chan, your quill pen is quite unique."

"It was given to me by my mother," Natalia Chan politely nodded.
