People don’t grab bones when they see them, only dogs do.
Saint Nad Magic Academy was buzzing with voices.
The students were all extremely excited.
After all, today was the annual Assessment Exam.
Every student needed to test their magical level in front of the Cliff statue.
That legendary Cliff Randall, who saved the entire magical world, was precisely the person who founded Saint Nad Magic Academy.
However, occasionally there were people like Henry who mixed into this academy.
What? You say you can fight well?
What’s the use of being able to fight! To make it in this world, you need power and background!
Most people avoided such people like the plague, afraid of offending them.
But Henry was just an anomaly.
Everyone knew that Henry wasn’t favored by the Rumelter family.
It was just due to superficial relationships that they didn’t dare to openly bully him.
To put it bluntly, Henry’s existence would only tarnish Saint Nad Academy’s reputation.
And today.
Who knows where the rumors came from, saying Henry had already been expelled from the Rumelter family.
If he didn’t pass this Assessment Exam, he would be kicked out of school.
But even if he managed to pass by luck, he had no money to pay the corresponding tuition fees.
“Young Master Luning, you said that waste Henry was kicked out?”
Behind him followed several noble lackeys.
Perhaps in ordinary people’s eyes, their status was unattainably high.
But beside Luning, they weren’t worth looking at, let alone trying to build good relationships with Luning.
If Henry possessed magical talent, they would naturally support Henry without surprise.
“Last night, because he didn’t obey the family head’s orders, he was already expelled from the Rumelter family. Now he can no longer use the family’s name to deceive and swindle.”
Actually, Henry had never done such things.
But Luning felt that Henry carrying the Rumelter family name without any talent was simply tainting the Rumelter family’s reputation.
Fortunately, the current Henry had no ability to compete with him.
Having lost the family’s protection, Henry without magical power was simply a stray dog on the roadside that could be kicked to death with one foot.
The group was planning to walk toward the assessment examination hall.
Suddenly, exclamations came from the main gate behind them.
Luning furrowed his brow and turned around, only to see a luxurious carriage parked at the school entrance.
He saw the familiar family crest on the carriage—it was Her Royal Highness the Princess’s carriage.
Logically speaking, there was nothing shocking about this.
After all, Jessica Lewis was a once-in-a-century genius of the entire empire.
Her coming to Saint Nad Academy for classes was only a matter of time.
Jessica slowly stepped down from the carriage. Although she wore the same school uniform as her classmates, the noble aura about her was incomparable to ordinary people.
Jessica remained in place, facing everyone’s gazes without the slightest psychological fluctuation.
To her, this was the most normal thing.
“Saint Nad Academy, we have arrived. Aren’t you getting off the carriage?”
Hearing this, the students nearby were all stunned.
Wasn’t Her Royal Highness the Princess alone in the carriage? There was actually someone else who could ride in the same carriage as Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Everyone stared at the carriage door, seemingly very much anticipating the person inside to reveal their true face.
“Right away, right away. This tie is a bit difficult to knot.”
Jessica looked at Henry inside the carriage adjusting his tie, her expression somewhat helpless.
She hadn’t expected that as the Duke’s Son of the Rumelter family, he couldn’t even tie the simplest tie!
She reached out and pulled Henry down from the carriage, then helped Henry adjust his tie in front of everyone.
This scene was witnessed by everyone.
Only the surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everyone’s expressions were stuck on their faces, not knowing what reaction to make.
No wonder they had such expressions—even Luning widened his eyes as if seeing something incredible.
That waste Henry actually stepped down from Her Royal Highness the Princess’s carriage?
And more importantly, Her Royal Highness the Princess was personally helping Henry adjust his tie!
What was their relationship?
Without the Rumelter family name, how did Henry connect with Her Royal Highness the Princess?
No, Henry must have deceived Her Royal Highness the Princess!
This damned guy was still using the family’s name until now.
If it caused unnecessary trouble for the family, the entire family would be in trouble.
Luning convinced himself this way and quickly walked toward the entrance.
He wanted to expose Henry’s true face, let Her Royal Highness the Princess see clearly this hypocritical waste, and by then, he would definitely leave a deep impression on Her Royal Highness the Princess!
Jessica naturally didn’t notice Luning approaching.
She carefully examined Henry, and only after confirming there wasn’t a single wrinkle on Henry’s body did she satisfactorily relax her brow.
But very quickly, she realized she seemed to have done something incredible in public!
She had personally helped Henry adjust his tie.
This action was like helping a beloved husband adjust his appearance, preventing him from losing face due to her carelessness.
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she coughed lightly.
“Alright, let’s go to the principal’s office. Today we agreed to let you stay in the academy.”
Jessica turned around and happened to meet Luning’s gaze.
She saw Luning first glance at Henry with what seemed like an angry expression, but quickly he bowed slightly to Jessica and politely greeted her.
“Your Royal Highness the Princess, hello. I am Luning Rumelter. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“In the academy, there’s no need for this. We’re all students, and our status is equal.”
Although Jessica said this, no one dared break this rule.
They weren’t fools, and they weren’t going to stay in the academy for life without going out—they definitely had to be respectful to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
“Your Royal Highness the Princess, do you know what status the person beside you has?”
Luning quickly pointed his spear at Henry.
He looked up, but instead of seeing Henry’s panicked appearance, he saw Henry looking at him with interest.
Jessica raised her eyebrow slightly, not angry.
“Oh? Tell me, what status does he have?”
Hearing Her Royal Highness the Princess give him a chance to perform, Luning naturally told everything that happened yesterday.
After all, there were so many students present—his purpose wasn’t just to make Henry despised by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
He wanted Henry to completely disappear from Saint Nad Academy!
He proudly raised his head, trying to look down on Henry.
But Henry maintained a calm and composed appearance throughout.
“Henry, I originally thought you would be much more honest after being kicked out by the family head, but I didn’t expect you would actually deceive Her Royal Highness the Princess! Do you know that using the Rumelter family name is punishable by death?”
Having said this, Luning placed his hand on the long sword at his waist, as if ready to draw his sword and execute Henry at any moment.
Of course, he wouldn’t really do this, since Her Royal Highness the Princess was here.
He did this only to let everyone see his action of defending the Rumelter name.
“Of course, I’m called Henry, not Henry Rumelter. You don’t think Rumelter is some kind of gold that I need to hold onto and not let go, do you?
