Water and Fire Twins Magician

Rod replied calmly: "Oh, she took a rest and left."

"Just let her go like that?" Jacques asked.

"It's no big deal. Our Magic Research Department is indeed little known, and almost no one can get in. But we are a formal department of the Imperial Capital, not a secret organization. Senior students in particular have more or less heard about what's going on here..." Rhodes said while picking his ears, "It's just that they lack interest in studying magic, especially after knowing that this place has been established for hundreds of years and has only developed a few failed magics with a success rate of less than 10%..."

"...It's indeed a bit tragic." Jacques nodded. He only just realized that the Magic Research Department, in addition to researching magic, was also responsible for the development of new types of magic.

"I have no interest in it at all. I just do it casually to deal with those leaders." Rhodes said nonchalantly: "My goal has always been to study the principles of magic."

"Then do you know the identity of this girl?"

"I'm not interested in this kind of single-attribute living being." Rhodes yawned.

"Did she leave any personal belongings behind?"

"Nothing. I burned all the rotten clothes." Rhodes picked his nose.

"So where was the connection point when she left?"

"…Love Continent, you're an idiot for asking this." Rhodes scratched his butt.

"..." Jacques resisted the urge to beat Rod and gave him a bright smile: "Then let's go back first." Then he took Bella away.

"Goodbye, please come back early tomorrow." Rhodes waved his hand.

Three minutes later, another magic door appeared in the Magic Research Department. The furious Bella broke in and yelled at Rhodes, "You old bastard! The boss just told me the truth! Die!"

"Jacques! You betrayed me! Ah..."

The sounds of smashing and fighting were blocked as the magic door closed, and Jacques breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This strange old man still needs to be taught a lesson occasionally..." Jacques said, "At this moment, I really want someone to celebrate with me. Gandalf, it would be great if you could be by my side."

"There will be such a day, haha..." Gandalf said, "In order to hasten the arrival of this day, please let me explain to you the 586th reason why I want to join the Laputa Mercenaries..."

"..."

The days of recuperation continued.

Jacques' physique was different from that of ordinary people, and his body recovered much faster than expected. He would soon be able to jump around again, and there was no pain in his abdomen. It was just that the magic power was not flowing smoothly to the injured part, causing the magic to be less powerful than usual. But this could not be rushed.

Even so, Beatrice still insisted that Jacques must take a three-month leave of absence and did not consider letting him take the final exam.

"Not even a day earlier." Beatrice insisted, "Don't dream anymore. You will definitely not be allowed to take the final exam this time. Just wait patiently for the next one."

"If I don't take the exams this semester, won't that mean I'll get zero points? Do I have to rank with other students based solely on my grades next semester?" Jacques asked.

"That's right, but with Jacques' ability, he still has a chance to be promoted to the second grade." Beatrice smiled.

"Teacher, are you making sarcastic remarks?"

"Of course not." Beatrice said, "But according to the college's previous statistics, only about two-thirds of freshmen can successfully advance to the first grade. As for those who fail, they can only drop out and go home."

"..."

"What on earth is Beatrice doing?" Jacques muttered to himself while lying on the bed depressedly: "She was quite kind to me before, but now it seems like she wants to force me to drop out of school."

"Oh, you lack confidence too much. Do you really think you will be expelled from school?" said Gandalf.

"I missed all the exams last semester, which means my scores are half as low as others. Even if I get full marks next semester, I'm afraid I'll be at the bottom...Few of those who can get into Teikyo are mediocre. There's no Nobita Nobi who gets zero marks in every exam..." Jacques said distressedly.

"What bear?"

"He's Doraemon's owner, a kid who's a very poor student. And Doraemon... um... it's a magical beast that can open up another dimension!" In order to vent his stress, Jacques began to make up stories.

But no matter how he lied, Gandalf would always believe it. In Gandalf's eyes, the world where the inheritor of the skyfire lived in his previous life was like a dream, weird and novel.
