Seeking a Bit of Insignificant Advice

Since Aaron was so sensible, Weihert couldn't find a reason to make things difficult for him, and with a wave of his hand, he dispelled the six lightning-attribute Magic Array.

The man and the dragon landed on the ground, both of them letting out a sigh of relief.

"Now I understand, the elemental Magic Array isn't that weak." Weihert put away his magic book in front of Aaron. "You think you can just climb a ladder and expect to fly? Who do you think you are?"

"Ancestor, you never taught me that Magic Array can be used like this." Aaron looked at Weihert with a resentful expression, his voice full of dissatisfaction. If he knew this trick, he might have won.

Weihert gave him a deep look, said nothing, and raised his hand above his head.

Seven different high-level Magic Array, each with different attributes—red, green, purple, blue, yellow, black, and white—were arranged in a row, radiating a power no weaker than that of an ultimate Magic Array.

"I am Merlin!"

Aaron stared in disbelief at the scene, standing there dumbfounded.

The transformed cat-sized Holy Dragon trembled to the side, having just roared at this powerful figure and then, ungrateful, spat several Dragon Breath at him.

Although it has a lifespan even longer than the Dragon King, living a long life does not include courting death!

"Hmph!" Weihert scoffed disdainfully and casually removed the Seven Magic Array.

"I really don't understand where this weird interjection comes from in the magical world. Even Merlin would have to call me 'senpai'."

"You still know Merlin?"

"I don't recognize him!"

But I've never heard of him while I was alive. Isn't he considered a junior?

"That makes perfect sense, I have no answer."

That's it for the first lesson of the new semester!

You'll arrange your own classes this semester. Your only task is to create an instant-cast intermediate Magic Array. As for advanced Magic Array... well, do your best!

Aaron naturally wouldn't refuse this arrangement, as it was much easier than last semester.

He was quite confident. It might be difficult for one person, but with a cheater at Hogwarts, the two of them together would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Aaron instinctively picked up his Wand, intending to use Weihert to manipulate the Magic Array.

After hesitating for a moment, he put away his Wand and directly used his mental energy to inscribe Magic Array. Purple runes slowly appeared in front of him.

"Wandless Casting?" Weihert raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were just not proficient in this technique, but it seems I was wrong. The Wand is no longer necessary for you."

It seems you're hiding many things from us, but that's a good thing; it's always necessary to keep things to yourself, no matter what.

Aaron rolled his eyes, speechless. "I'm sure you've been hiding a lot more from me."

"It won't be hidden for long." Weihert looked at Aaron with some complicated feelings. "The Gaius family has many secrets, but these secrets will be told to the next generation at a certain time."

This has been the case for thousands of years, for example, family Chamber of Secrets, and the existence of people like us.

So... how far do you think you are from truly understanding the secrets?

Aaron paused for a moment, feeling a surge of malice rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The Magic Array that was about to depict the ending of the story shattered instantly, and the exploding lightning sent him flying.

Abei immediately ran to Aaron to check if he was injured.

"It's nothing." Aaron slowly stood up, his expression solemn as he looked at Weihert, who had a playful look on his face. "Ancestor, you've been through this before. Tell me the truth, what exactly do you know?"

"I signed a contract." Weihert had a faint smile on his face; he believed this junior understood his meaning.

Aaron:...

Beautiful, what a versatile excuse!

I will refuse to answer questions in the same way in the future.

"Looks like we'll have to wait until my father comes back!"

"Clever."

"You've told me so much already, even if I'm slow to react, I'll realize this now." Aaron sighed slightly. "I knew this day would come, but I'm only thirteen, I'm not ready yet!"

"It's not appropriate for a young Warlock like me to fight against various factions!"

"This kind of probing is completely pointless." Weihert revealed a cold smile. "You're just playing the old tricks we've already played."

Upon hearing this, Aaron sighed and shook his head in exasperation.

As expected, it's not easy to fool older people; it's really not easy to get any information out of them!

"Let me ask you another question. Is it too late for me to run away now?" Aaron asked with a serious expression.

"What do you think?" Weihert asked rhetorically.

"I guess... Hachiko won't make it."

Aaron lowered his head in despair, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

This ancestor knew his trump cards, including the Disillusionment Charm and Apparition. Since he felt that neither of these two spells could help him, it meant that there was no possibility of him escaping.

"I suddenly found things to be getting a little interesting."

"It's really interesting." Weihert's face was expressionless, but his eyes were sparkling with excitement.

"Can you give me some advice?" Aaron asked sincerely. "I don't mind, I just want a little bit of insignificant experience."

Weihert frowned, then looked at Aaron with satisfaction, "You're more interesting than I thought."

Some of the Gaius Family heirs, like you, learned some things in advance. Some were overwhelmed with excitement and eager to access these secrets, others locked themselves in the wine cellar, needing a good drink to calm down, or simply maintained their composure, preserving the status quo until the truth was revealed.

"And what about you, ancestor?"

"Me?" Weihert touched his nose sheepishly. "Sometimes ignorance is a blessing!"

Aaron blinked and silently gave Weihert a thumbs-up in his mind.

There's a reason this ancestor was so powerful; he definitely incorporated emotional intelligence into his combat abilities.

"I only have one suggestion."

Aaron immediately focused intently, pretending to listen attentively to the lesson. "What is it?"

"Make yourself strong enough," Weihert said seriously. "So practice what I teach you, it will help."

Aaron's lips twitched. Did you even need to tell me that?

Although he felt deep down that this was a pointless statement, he had no choice but to accept it now, because strength was the most important thing at all times.

With the remaining time, Aaron practiced even harder, wishing he could squeeze every last drop of Magical Energy out of his body.

He also communicated with the Thought Form, instructing it to dedicate half of its time each day to researching and releasing a multi-element Magic Array.

This skill is probably very difficult. However, it is undeniable that if he learns this move, he is confident that he can take on two opponents even if they are of a higher level.

More than an hour later, Weihert looked at the exhausted Aaron and nodded with a smile.

"You should go to the next class."

Aaron stretched and loosened his muscles as much as possible before slowly walking towards the door that had opened at some point.

"I really should ask another teacher for some advice."

Weihert was stunned for a moment, the words echoing in his mind, before he came to his senses.

"Based on what you just said, you definitely have it much easier than we do."

Aaron shrugged, not surprised by such a basic operation.

Upon entering the third classroom, Jeans was waiting for him with a smile.

Aaron quickly scanned the Secret Chamber, then strode to the black stone pillar and placed his hand on it.

As soon as the figure appeared, Aaron immediately lunged at the opponent's leg.

It seemed the other party had anticipated this scene, and as he turned to the side, he kicked him in the chest.

"Oops!"

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

"Shut up and get out," Aaron said bluntly.

Jeans hesitated and looked at Flor, but seeing him nod slightly, he didn't dare to voice any objections.

"I understand. I'll go prepare lunch for you and Abei right away."

After Jeans finished speaking, Flor looked at Aaron meaningfully, "It seems someone said something to you? Argus or Weihert?"

"No, I guessed something myself."

Aaron was very frank, saying he wouldn't dare lie to Flor Gaius.

This ancestor was a master of psychology, and even Weihert was wary of his mastery of mind magic.

"That's fairly honest," Flor smiled, "Though that's not really what I think."

"I still have some self-awareness. I would only lie to you if I were out of my mind."

Flor nodded, crossing his arms. "What made you have this urge to cling to someone powerful again?"

"I need some advice," Aaron said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Flor's lips curled up slightly. "To date, not many people have realized this."

"Now there's one more."

Flor gave Aaron an approving look, then picked up Abei and sat lazily in a chair.

"In fact, the advice you want to receive has been included in the ancestral teachings of our ancestors, and those are all invaluable experiences."

If I absolutely must give advice, it's this: don't try to guess what other people are thinking.

Aaron pondered for a moment, then asked, "Anything else?"

"That's it." Flor said gloatingly. "We all like to take apart the next umbrella after we've been in the rain. That's the only advice I can give you. I guess everyone else does the same."

"Forget it, there are more than ten people!" Aaron gritted his teeth. "Even if each person says one sentence, we should be able to analyze something."

"I need to change this habit of having an inflated sense of self-worth."

"That's just wishful thinking." Aaron's face darkened. "What do I need to do next?"

"You can do whatever you want; you have half an hour to move around freely."

Oh, and I have some good news for you. The most difficult time for you in terms of tutoring was last year. Starting this year, you'll have relatively less time to study.

"How long do I have to study?"

"One is never too old to learn." Flor put on a profound and mysterious air. "Of course, nothing is absolute. If you don't want to learn, there are two ways."

The first step is to become the head of the family. The head of the Gaius family has great power and can do anything within the rules as long as he does not violate the ancestral precepts, including skipping classes.

The first priority is marriage; the Gaius family values the next generation more than any other family in the Magic World.

Aaron felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

Damn it! He'll be stuck on these two paths for at least two years!

"Is there any other way?"

"Yes." Flor nodded affirmatively. "When can students not have to attend classes?"

Aaron seemed to have forgotten something, and gave a bitter smile. "Beyond the teacher."

"That's right, if we can't teach you, then you don't need to attend classes."
