Although Lun Hui had many questions to ask the first apprentice in his life history, he thought it wouldn't be good to hold up someone for lunch. "Do you know where my office is?" Lun Hui asked. "Yes, I know." Upon closer inspection, this sprite, although a bit silly, had a cool feel to it despite its lack of expression due to its fragmented purple short hair and delicate face. "Then come find me at two o'clock in the afternoon," Lun Hui said. After hearing this, the sprite opened its mouth as if to speak but hesitated, but it still bowed obediently and left. Generally speaking, the importance of a mentor to a student is self-evident. A renowned and capable mentor can not only provide assistance in academics, but also recommend related institutions for employment after graduation. However, from any perspective, as a dignified elf, there was no need to become an apprentice under a young, unknown thief teacher. As Lun Hui walked and pondered, he arrived at the staff cafeteria. Looking through the window, this place was quite extravagant in terms of architecture. It could be said that this was a luxurious restaurant rather than a staff cafeteria. Compared to the magnificent halls of some top-notch restaurants, it was no worse in terms of its grandeur. Hundreds of staff members were dining inside, but it did not appear crowded in the least, and there was even a hint of a high-end seating atmosphere. Just as Lun Hui was about to stride in with great boldness, he was unexpectedly stopped. "I'm sorry, this is the staff cafeteria. Please go to the dedicated cafeteria across the street." There were even security guards at the entrance. They politely stopped Lun Hui, apparently mistaking him for a freshman. The security guard smiled kindly, as it seemed that quite a few freshmen had gone to the wrong place on the first day of class, so it was not surprising anymore. "Oh, sorry, I'm a teacher," Lun Hui realized this and quickly took out the magic badge that Fen Se had entrusted to him from his pocket, then tapped it with his finger a few times. The badge twisted and turned gray, and Lun Li's name appeared on it. "So you're a new teacher, my apologies." The security guard quickly withdrew his hand that was blocking the way. "Please remember to carry the badge with you in the future, because during the beginning of the new semester, some students always want to 'try' the staff cafeteria, and some old students use forged teacher badges." "Thank you," Lun Hui nodded. "The teacher cafeteria is on the second floor, you can go up by turning right inside," the security guard kindly reminded. Lun Hui wandered around the first floor cafeteria a few times, feeling quite new. From the teacher's manual, he learned that Thorn University was somewhat traditional and slightly conservative. For example, ordinary staff members couldn't dine with teachers. Staff members usually ate in the first floor lobby, while the second floor was the teacher cafeteria, and the third floor was for the principal and management staff as well as for hosting meals for some foreign dignitaries. However, when Lun Hui stepped onto the second floor teacher cafeteria, he felt quite uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. Compared to the warm and radiant atmosphere of the first floor cafeteria, the second floor was a bit dim, decorated in a trendy and leisurely café-like dining area. So Lun Hui pondered for a moment, then turned and went back downstairs. As he turned and went downstairs, he happened to brush past several young female teachers. Lun Hui was curious, it seemed that the age range of teachers at this school wasn't as old as he had imagined. "Ah, which staff member got lost and came to the second floor?" "I don't know, maybe a new one doing odd jobs? Maybe just came up out of curiosity, nothing to make a fuss about." "I can't stand having a meal with them ..." However, the content of their conversation wasn't very pleasant, but Lun Hui didn't care. Strong teaching ability doesn't necessarily mean good character, and such people can be found anywhere. On the contrary, Lun Li was getting hungry, so as soon as he went downstairs, he quickly picked up a tray and started ordering food. Thorn University was indeed well-off, even the food servers were accomplished magicians. Lun Hui, holding an empty tray, watched as those servers effortlessly took dishes from the counter and the food flew into the tray out of thin air. Their movements were quick and skillful, it seemed that they had a certain mastery of telekinesis magic.As a thief, Lun Hui's appetite was not very big, even less than his peers. However, he was not picky and the food in the canteen here was quite good, so he enjoyed his meal.

Satisfied with his meal, Lun Hui decided to eat on the first floor from now on.

After leaving the canteen, Lun Hui looked at the time and it was only 12:45. It would take about half an hour to slowly walk back to the office. After carefully observing his surroundings, he noticed that besides some students with strong magical and martial arts abilities using levitation and wind magic to move in the air, there were also many students from the liberal arts department using bicycles and electric scooters for transportation. Lun Hui thought to himself, if only he had ridden his old Phoenix-brand women's bicycle here.

Back in the "haunted house," Lun Hui did some cleaning in the office environment, then finally heard a knock on the door at exactly 2 o'clock.

In fact, the wooden door had been half broken since Lun Hui pushed it open in the morning.

"Here already? You didn't get lost, right? It's not easy to find this place," Lun Hui said with a smile as he looked at the elf carrying a bulging backpack.

"A kind-hearted boy brought me here, so I didn't get lost," the elf coolly replied.

"I see. It seems that the boys here are quite proactive. I wonder if that comrade had the honor of getting the beauty's phone number?"

After all, this was ultimately a university, and romance was a common thing among students in their prime. In order to quickly familiarize himself with his apprentice, Lun Hui also tried to joke and tease her.

"Why does Master also know that he asked me for my phone number? But I didn't give it to him. I don't know him and there's no need to know him," the elf blinked her innocent eyes.

Lun Hui was speechless and could only mourn for that boy.

"Okay, enough about that. Although I arrived early this morning too, I still want to welcome you. Over the next three years, you will spend your thief's learning career here with me as your base." After saying that, Lun Hui raised his hands slightly exaggeratedly to show his enthusiasm.

The elf stared blankly at Lun Hui for a moment, a bit puzzled, but then suddenly hugged him.

Instantly, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

"Why did you hug me, little elf?" Lun Hui asked awkwardly.

"Master opened his arms, didn't you want a hug?" the elf replied casually.

"Cough cough, let go first," Lun Hui said, sweating coldly.

It seemed that for the next period of time, he would have to study the all-round differences between elves and humans, whether in body language or culture.

Unfortunately, the awkwardness was probably only felt by Lun Hui alone, as the cool elf was a bit naive and didn't feel embarrassed.

Lun Hui managed to find a few candles that had been there for who knows how many years from a corner. He barely managed to light them and then both master and apprentice sat down on the dusty wooden chairs in the dim living room on the first floor.

Fortunately, Lun Hui, as a man, simply shook off the dust and sat down, while the elf, known for loving cleanliness, took out a thick stack of newspapers from her backpack and placed them on the chair before carefully sitting down.

"This place has been neglected for a long time, and most of the rooms haven't been used for years, so this is how the environment is. I hope you don't mind. The water and electricity will be connected in a few days," Lun Hui felt that he, as a master, was not respectable enough. The conditions for the thief profession in Jingthorn University were probably like this.

"I really like this place, in the woods," the elf gave a completely different answer.

Lun Hui was taken aback, realizing that she was an elf who preferred nature over the glamorous stone, cement, and steel buildings, so it turned out to be a happy coincidence.

"Okay, let's talk business. After all, you've attended one of my classes, what's your name?" Lun Hui asked.

This was a serious question, and the elf quickly stood up, took out her file from the heavy backpack, held it with both hands, and bowed as she handed it to Lun Hui."Please don't be so restrained with me, I'm not the kind of person who values politeness. Just treat me like a friend." Lun Hui took the file casually and said.

"Alright, Master." The pixie replied, but while flipping through the file, she stood straight without intending to sit down, as if waiting for her master's questions at any time.

"Please sit down, you're making me uncomfortable with your nervousness."

"Understood." The pixie sat down cautiously, making sure not to let any dust touch her.

"Eve-Sphatina?" Lun Hui quietly pronounced the name. "You're only 16 years old and not yet an adult."

"Yes."

Lun Hui was not surprised. Elf ages were calculated differently from humans, but it was said that elves also had a unique way of adjusting their age. However, from a human perspective, the elf in front of him should live longer than himself.

"You did very well in the first two years of courses. You received an A+ in three subjects: Basic Magic Pharmaceuticals, Basic Paleontology, and Basic Magic Defense. Other regular courses were mostly around an A, except for Beginner Divination and Ancient Continental History, which were A-. In the evaluation of university-level professional qualities, it was reported that you can handle 80% of mage professions and achieve remarkable achievements, especially the profession of Earth Mage. At the same time, in terms of combat skills, it is also believed that you have the potential to become a top sniper and archer." Lun Hui roughly recited.

The above content did not come as a surprise. Elf students, due to their racial advantages, found it easy to get high scores in courses and, due to their abundant magic power, could handle most magic professions. Coupled with their super-sensitive five senses, they also had the potential to become top snipers and archers.

"Do you know what I want to say?" Lun Hui took a deep breath and asked.

"I don't know." The pixie shook her head.

"I want to know why you chose the profession of thief. I don't believe you are unaware of what kind of profession a thief is. Not to mention elves, even humans rarely choose this profession nowadays." Lun Hui got straight to the point.

"I want revenge." The pixie realized and hurriedly blurted out.

This was a very legitimate answer.

Historical statistics showed that over 30% of the reasons for choosing the thief profession were for targeted revenge as assassins.

"This reason is not something that can pass the school's profession assessment system. The school will not cultivate students who are solely seeking revenge." Lun Hui completely did not believe what the pixie said. "Besides, as an elf, you can easily go to the Dark Elves' university to learn the profession of rogue. After all, in terms of thieves, there are so many masters among the Dark Elves."

Lun Hui found it funny. It was as if the pixie couldn't lie, or not even capable of making a decision to lie properly. The clumsy lie was like a textbook example.

Sure enough, Eve's face immediately turned red, realizing she had misspoke.

"Master, I have my own reasons, but they are definitely not for doing bad things." The pixie regretted. "And I don't dislike the thief profession, it can improve my speed and skills with light weapons. Besides, the Dark Elves don't like us pure elves, and I would be bullied if I went to their university."

Lun Hui nodded slightly.

"Don't you think this reason is much more reasonable? Although I'm not really interested in knowing your story, as a teacher, I would advise you that being a thief is not an easy profession, and you have better choices. Nevertheless, you still chose to become a thief, didn't you?"

Lun Hui made a final effort to persuade, but he also had his own concerns. Having spent time in the Elf Kingdom, he knew that elves did not have the same aversion to the thief profession as humans did. This was mainly because when elves from deep forests carried out missions, they often needed the advantages that thieves provided in forest battles due to environmental factors.

"Yes." The pixie decisively nodded, with a determined expression on her face.

As a result, Lun Hui smiled, somewhat smugly, and patted Eve's head, but quickly realized that his gesture was inappropriate. It was mainly because the pixie's cool expression mixed with her childishness gave him the feeling of a cold and enchanting sister."So, my little sprite friend, let's quickly begin our first lesson of the day," Lun Hui stood up and took out another broom and dustpan from the restroom.

"Please teach me, Master," the sprite said very seriously.

"Let's clean together, shall we?"
