Time quickly passed to mid-September, and it was Aisha's turn to enroll. Unlike Aida, Aisha could return home freely during her studies at the River Bay City Mage Academy, which put Ange and his family at ease.

Ange took Aisha to River Bay City to register for enrollment. On the way, Ange constantly encouraged Aisha, filling her with confidence for the magic studies that were about to begin. Upon arriving at the Mage Academy, they lined up in the spacious registration hall. Aisha looked at the other new students reporting in, feeling both nervous and excited.

Ange noticed there were only eleven new students enrolling, two of whom had undergone talent detection with Aisha last time. One boy and one girl, the boy was named Alyosha, and the girl was Gwen. As they were around the same age, the three of them quickly struck up a conversation.

Gwen curiously observed Ange. Her own brother was in military service, but he never gave her the same feeling as Ange. Ange exuded a unique aura that made him stand out. Ange, in turn, looked curiously at the eleven new students, wondering how many of them would become true mages given their magical talent. They were all promising talents from noble families, carrying the expectations and responsibilities of their lineage.

During her conversation with Alyosha and Gwen, Ange learned about their backgrounds and aspirations for the future. Alyosha came from a merchant family, and his parents hoped he could elevate their family's status through magic studies. Gwen, on the other hand, hailed from a minor noble family, and her parents had high hopes for her, wishing her to be the pride of their family.

Although Aisha's talent wasn't as exceptional as some others, Ange believed that with her own hard work and perseverance, she would surely achieve something in the path of magic. Ange encouraged Aisha to interact more with Alyosha and Gwen, to learn from each other, and to progress together.

After completing the enrollment procedures, Aisha chose to board at the academy. Since Oak Village was quite far from River Bay City, it would be inconvenient for Aisha to go home every day. Gwen and Alyosha both lived in River Bay City, so they did not opt for boarding. Ange took Aisha to see her dormitory.

The accommodation at the Mage Academy was good, with clean and tidy dormitories and a comfortable environment. The River Bay City Mage Academy didn't have many students, with only a little over a hundred people including the teachers. This number included both senior and junior students. According to others, students with high talent usually went to the Magic Academy in the provincial capital of Tan'anster, hence the smaller student body at the River Bay City Mage Academy. The academy only had one Level 1 Mage, the Dean, while the other teachers were all senior mage assistants.

Ange accompanied Aisha to the new student orientation ceremony. Each new student took turns introducing themselves on stage. Aisha was too nervous when she went on stage; after she came down, she didn't even know what she had said. Upon returning to her seat, she quickly asked Ange if she had made a fool of herself. Ange smiled and replied, "No, you did very well." He also joked, "It seems Aisha is already starting to pay attention to her image."

Aisha blushed and mumbled, "I was just a little nervous." Ange patted her shoulder and encouraged her, "Everyone gets nervous sometimes. You did great. Just focus on your studies from now on."

After the orientation ceremony, Ange took Aisha for a stroll around the academy. Although River Bay City was a developed commercial center, it was located in a remote area and not a hub for nobles, so the academy appeared relatively simple, far from being comparable to the Wolf Mage Academy. Despite this, Ange didn't mind, and Aisha seemed very happy.

They walked past the academy's library, training grounds, and dormitory area. Aisha excitedly asked questions about everything, filled with curiosity about every corner. Ange patiently explained to her, while also feeling anticipation for his own future studies at the Tan'anster Warrior Academy.

Ange thought to himself, "Although the conditions are simple, this environment is more suitable for Aisha to grow slowly. As long as she studies hard, she will surely have a better future." Aisha excitedly said, "Brother, I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations!"

Ange smiled and stroked Aisha's head, encouraging her, "I believe you can do it. Life at the academy is a new beginning. You'll meet many interesting people and experience new things, and there will be more challenges. Remember, no matter what difficulties you face, persevere."

Aisha nodded, her eyes filled with determination. She looked at Ange gratefully, silently vowing to study hard and continuously improve, not to let her brother down.

After walking around the academy, they saw other new students also familiarizing themselves with the environment. Aisha's nervousness gradually subsided, and she began to look forward to her academy life. Ange silently wished Aisha well, hoping she would find her own path here.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ange decided to leave the academy. Aisha would have to face the coming days alone, which was a necessary part of her growth. Before parting, Ange left Aisha 500 silver wacks and 10 gold wacks, along with a Black Magic Crystal.

Ange cautioned Aisha, "This Black Magic Crystal is very precious, you must keep it safe. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve in my absence, you can use this Black Magic Crystal to resolve them." Aisha nodded in understanding, knowing her brother's good intentions.

Aisha was familiar with Ange's Wilderland Empire's Compendium of Magical Materials and Ange often recounted his experiences in the army. Aisha had already learned about the ferocity of Foul Spirits from Ange, thus she had a deep understanding of the precious value of the Black Magic Crystal.

Ange repeatedly urged Aisha to be careful. Aisha, with tears in her eyes but a firm nod, understood her brother's earnest concern. Ange patted Aisha's shoulder and smiled, "You'll do great, I believe in you."

Aisha watched Ange leave, silently resolving to study hard, improve herself, and live up to her brother's expectations. Ange walked out of the academy gate, glanced back in Aisha's direction, and prayed in his heart that she would grow smoothly and face future challenges.

Upon returning home, Ange informed his parents about Aisha's situation. Due to the busy harvest season, his parents needed to handle the family's rye and had not accompanied Ange to River Bay City this time. Ange told his parents that Aisha would have one day off each month, and they could visit her in River Bay City then.

In the following days, Ange helped his parents with farm work, harvesting all the ripe barley and rye. The weather was clear, with sunlight streaming down on the fields. Ange and his parents worked together, enjoying the joy of the harvest. While working, they chatted about Aisha's life at the Mage Academy.

Father Baron exclaimed, "Aisha is truly promising. Being able to study at the Mage Academy is a great honor for our family."

Mother smiled in response, "Yes, when she comes home for a break, we must treat her well."

Ange smiled, looking at his parents' happy faces, feeling a warmth spread through him. He knew that his family's support and love were the greatest motivation for him and Aisha.

After the harvest was complete, Ange and his parents sowed new seeds, hoping for a good yield next year. They worked diligently in the fields, looking forward to the next year's harvest. As the days passed, the farm work gradually wound down, and Ange felt a sense of peace.

One night, the sky was clear, with stars twinkling in the night sky. Ange lay alone on the rooftop platform. Looking up at the sky, Ange muttered to himself, "My younger siblings are all settled, and there are no major issues at home. The next step is to consider my own future." He thought about his plan to pursue further studies at the Warrior Academy, and then find an opportunity to study at a Magic Academy. Mage Victor had once said that his talent was excellent and he should be able to enroll easily.

A thought struck Ange, and he continued to speak to himself, "Ange, Ange, you must have seen it, and you must have felt it. Your family is my family. I have inherited everything from you, and I will protect everything of yours. Whether it's my younger siblings or my parents, I will take good care of them." Since returning to this world, Ange had always felt a sense of disharmony, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was. Although he had adapted to life in this world, there was always a subtle, inexplicable sense of strangeness.

For such a long time, Ange had been unable to fully control the magical elements, which caused him some doubt. He suspected this might stem from the special nature of his soul. Thinking about these things, he said, "Perhaps the things you were worried about, I have already dealt with them. Now I will accomplish my goals. I will do what you haven't done, see what you haven't seen. What I do is what you do, what I see is what you see. From now on, I am truly you, I am Ange."

After saying these words, Ange's aura changed, as if he had suddenly gained some enlightenment. He raised his hand, and tiny flames appeared in his palm. Ange retracted his palm, feeling a surge of excitement, almost wanting to laugh out loud. But thinking that his parents were already asleep, he could only sigh inwardly and then went back to his room to sleep.

Ange slept particularly long and soundly that night. He felt as if he had truly integrated into this world, truly become Ange.
