Drawing on Escape Experience
Although he had the idea of skipping class, Aaron still smiled shyly and said, "That's not really appropriate!"
"What are you pretending for?" Flor laughed dismissively. "I know exactly what you're thinking."
However, as your ancestor, I feel it's necessary to remind you that I don't know if any of my predecessors skipped classes, but eight of my successors chose to skip classes, yet only one succeeded.
In other words, skipping class greatly increases the chances of failure, so you need to be mentally prepared.
Aaron's expression changed, and his excited heart quickly calmed down.
Almost forgot, Jeans is watching over him at home, and at least two other people are secretly protecting him outside.
With this setup, I'm afraid he'll be caught by Jeans the moment he tries to escape.
There will definitely be no punishment, since his parents don't care, and he's the boss in the family now.
But the problem is, it's embarrassing!
Skipping class is not something to be proud of, and if he gets caught skipping class, he'll probably have to lower his voice by eight octaves when speaking to Jeans.
"Wait, Ancestor Flor, how did the successful one do it?"
"It's simple: the most dangerous place is the safest place."
He hid in other Secret Chamber without ancestral memories, and only came out after he had had his fill of playing with them.
However, this path is now blocked, and all the Secret Chamber have been enchanted; you can clearly see how many living people are inside.
Upon hearing this, Aaron's lips twitched involuntarily.
What a terrible thing!
This ancestor certainly enjoyed his leisurely time, but he also ruthlessly blocked any future path for those who came after him.
"Don't be hopeless either!"
The number of students skipping classes has decreased by nearly 300, so you should be less vigilant about your studies now. You still have a chance of success.
I guarantee with my integrity that you will be safe for the next three or four hours after you escape the castle.
"Heh! I'll take that as a consolation." Aaron chuckled wryly, then suddenly seemed to remember something and clung to Flor's leg again, "Ancestor! You've mentored so many outstanding students, you must have learned something by now!"
Flor paused for a moment, looked down at Aaron was looking at him earnestly, and tried to pull his thigh out, but the result was not satisfactory.
This action confirmed Aaron's suspicions. "You actually have experience?"
No, absolutely not.
Flor gritted his teeth, preparing to kick Aaron away with his other leg.
The previous person who successfully skipped class also used the tactic of clinging to someone's coattails. Drawing on the experience of the previous seven who had failed, he did the opposite and hid in a huge, Secret Chamber.
This was his biggest mistake after his death. After all, it was because of his help that the successor of that generation succeeded. It's not nice to say that a teacher helped someone skip class!
Before Flor could even kick, a white figure pounced and grabbed his other leg.
After Abei succeeded, he instantly grew several times larger and remained firmly in place, displaying remarkable stubbornness.
Flor laughed in exasperation, "Don't go too far. I've already done more than enough by pointing you in a way out."
As the saying goes, "Help others to the end, and help Buddha to the west."
"Ancestor, are you sure you're not just making fun of me by pointing out a path that's practically impossible?"
"There are always more solutions than problems. Believe in yourself, you can do it," Flor earnestly advised. "The first step to believing in yourself is to let go of me."
Aaron pursed his lips, shifted to a more comfortable position, but hugged her even tighter.
Believe in yourself? That sounds nice, but if he really had that ability, he wouldn't be here sucking up to someone.
"Alright, fine, I give up!" Flor said speechlessly. "I can give you a little advice, but whether it works or not is up to you."
Aaron's lips curled up slightly, and he gave Abei a wink. The two of them released their claws at the same time.
He wasn't worried at all about whether Flor would go back on his word.
The ancestors were all highly respected and virtuous; they wouldn't lie to a ten-year-old child.
Even if they were fooled, they could try to curry favor with him again. The black stone pillar was right there, and the initiative was in his hands.
"Ancestor, please speak."
Aaron adopted the attitude of someone who was paying close attention in class, and his expression was quite serious. If it were the first time you met him, you might be fooled by his appearance.
"Snort!
First of all, the rule that the most dangerous place is the safest place is invalid, because the safest place is also the most dangerous place.
Secondly, you need to decide where you want to go. If you don't even have a destination and are just wandering around like a headless fly, the chances of being caught are almost 100%.
Secondly, you'd better not go to places that Jeans knows. If he finds out you've run away, those are the places he'll look for first.
Then, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, having only one destination is obviously not enough; you must be prepared at any time for someone to come knocking on your door midway.
Finally, and most importantly, make sure to avoid your two bodyguards.
With them around, even the most meticulously planned schemes will fail before they even begin.
Aaron nodded in deep agreement, feeling that he had made the right choice in clinging to someone powerful.
Hearing your words is more valuable than reading ten books!
Without this guidance, he would probably be the eighth loser, but now he is 50% confident that he can skip class successfully.
However, we need to do some planning before taking any action.
Thinking of this, Aaron looked at Flor again, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. Even if you do, I won't help you," Flor said calmly.
"Ancestor." Aaron revealed a harmless smile, but just as he was about to go over and hug his leg again, he was blasted back several steps by a powerful magical force.
"Come on, you're just playing games I've already played."
"Hehe!" Aaron chuckled awkwardly. "I only have one last question left. If you answer it, I won't betray you, whether you succeed or fail in skipping class."
Flor gave him a deep look and said with a playful tone, "You've already learned to threaten people at such a young age?"
Unfortunately, this trick didn't work on me, otherwise I wouldn't have told you so much.
Also, here's a warning: it's best not to threaten people casually in the future. Some people are arrogant and can't stand being threatened; if you tell them not to do something, they'll do it anyway.
Aaron paused for a moment, then bowed respectfully, "I am grateful for your guidance."
"Alright, ask if you have any questions."
Whether I answer or not depends on my mood.
"Ancestor, is there any way for me to avoid those who are secretly protecting me?"
"I knew you'd ask that," Flor said, leaning casually against the pillar, as if he had expected it. "They're all professionally trained; with your current strength, you can't possibly dodge them, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"You only have one advantage right now: they don't know you're going to run away."
The rest is up to you to figure out. That's all I can tell you.
After saying that, Flor waved his hand, and a hurricane swept towards Aaron and Abei. When they opened their eyes, they were already outside the Secret Chamber.
"Is this the power of Holy Magus?" Aaron murmured, his heart filled with boundless longing.
The Secret Chamber contained only a memory of Flor's, far less powerful than he was before, yet it could overwhelm this novice Magus with a mere gesture, leaving him utterly powerless to fight back.
Aaron lowered his head, acknowledging the fact that he was still incredibly weak.
Abei climbed onto his shoulder, making muffled sounds, but Aaron could clearly hear that it was Abe encouraging him.
Dragon Language: Master, you will definitely be stronger than him in the future.
"Haha!" Aaron patted Abei's head and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think."
But I need to remember this lesson. I've definitely gotten a bit cocky lately; I must maintain a sense of awe towards power!
Back in his bedroom, Aaron looked at the crescent moon outside and pondered his escape plan.
School starts on September 1st, and it's August 28th now. He needs to make a plan tonight and take action tomorrow.
Otherwise, if you run away and school starts soon after, then skipping class won't have been very meaningful.
After pondering for a moment, Aaron took out the half-bottle of Invisibility Potion he had left over.
Looking at the bottle, he felt particularly fortunate that he hadn't gulped it down in one go.
This thing can hide from the two bodyguards' line of sight, but the invisibility time is limited, so you need to hurry and get as far away as possible before they react.
Aaron nodded, then began to think about where he could go, or rather, where he could be taken in.
He took a piece of paper from the drawer and wrote down about twenty addresses, but soon ruled them all out.
He knew he couldn't go to his relatives' houses, the shops in Diagon Alley weren't safe, and the houses of his old friends were also off-limits. He figured someone would report him to Jeans as soon as he got there.
After frowning for a while, Aaron wrote down two addresses on a piece of paper: Malfoy Manor and Weasley's the Burrow.
Neither of these places is too far from his home, and with Abei's flying speed, he won't be able to get there for long.
Moreover, if he were discovered, he could simply move to another location. Even Jeans would never have imagined that he would be running around in the homes of his two arch-enemies.
