The door opened all of a sudden.
"Which servant was so ill-bred that she didn't even knock on the door before entering?"
Thomas closed the book irritably and was about to teach her a lesson.
But the person who entered his room was not a servant but...
"Dad, I'm back."
Thomas was stunned for half a minute before he came to his senses.
The man in front of him was his dear son, Andrew.
"Andrew? My son, is it you?"
Thomas hugged Andrew excitedly.
But on second thought, he felt something was wrong.
The middle-aged man who loved his son said in a panic, "Lion Eagle Mage Academy doesn't allow students to go home or visit their relatives except for the annual leave."
"Why are you here?"
"Are you..."
Despair flashed through Thomas's eyes.
Back then, Thomas knew that Andrew didn't have magic talent.
However, according to the rules of the aristocracy all over the world, A noble family must have at least one magician.
Or if he didn't have one, it would be the same if there was a direct relative mage.
Only in this way could the nobility maintain their status.
Back then, Thomas knew that Andrew didn't have magic talent, but he had to spend a lot of money to send him to the Lion Eagle Mage Academy.
Thomas didn't trust other magi, and it was too expensive to hire a mage. If his son could become a mage, he would not only save money but also seek a future for his son. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Because of this, Thomas had been blaming himself since he knew that his son had become the famous loser of Lion Eagle Mage Academy and was laughed at by everyone.
It was his fault.
His son was not talented, but to have a better education, he was stuffed into the top school with talents all over the place.
His son must have suffered a lot, right?
"Alas, it's my fault. You don't have talent, but I forced you to go to that kind of school and didn't allow you to drop out of school."
Spending money was not a big deal. It must be painful to be insulted.
But now, his son came back without notice during the non-annual leave.
Thomas could only think of one possibility.
Andrew knew what his father meant.
"Dad, don't worry. I'm not expelled from school. I just come back to see you."
"Really?"
"Really."
Although Andrew was sincere and seemed to be in a good mood, he didn't seem to be expelled from school.
But Thomas couldn't completely rest assured.
"By the way, how did you come back? There are still two months left before the annual leave, right?"
Andrew smiled, "I have my way."
"Your way?"
Thomas was even more confused.
But anyway, it was a good thing that his son came back.
He patted Andrew's shoulder and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for almost a year. You've grown a lot."
"Father has cultivated me well."
"You've learned how to be polite."
"It's not a formality."
Andrew changed the subject and said, "By the way, Dad, let me introduce my classmate to you."
While they were talking, an expressionless boy with black hair came in.
As soon as he came in, Thomas felt the temperature of the whole room drop sharply.
Thomas got nervous.
Although he was not a mage, he had learned some magic.
He could feel that the student was a mage, and he was strong.
"Dad, this is my classmate, Nason. He came back with me."
"Nason"
He seemed to have heard of this name before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Thomas withdrew his suspicion and shook hands with him. "Nice to meet you, Nason. I'm Andrew's father, Thomas A Bernard."
"Since you are classmates, you can take this place like your home and look around. If you need anything, just tell me."
"Thank you, uncle," Nason said politely.
However, Thomas was stunned now.
What a strong magic power.
As soon as he shook hands with him, he felt that his palm was slightly prickled by his magic power.
The boy named Nason must be an intermediate mage.
He was the same age as my son. He was a freshman.
My god.
Thinking of this, Thomas felt dizzy.
The intermediate mage of grade one, was that possible?
It was not surprising to say that he was a rare talent.
Thomas finally understood.
'Such a genius must enjoy a lot of rights in Lion Eagle Mage Academy, right?
So that's why my son could come back. Was it because he had such a friend?'
Thinking of this, Thomas thought highly of his son Andrew.
'No wonder he is my son. He knows how to find a new way.
Since he didn't have any talent, he would like to cling to other talents.
Although this was not a good idea, it was indeed a very smart choice.
With the protection of such a talented classmate, it would be much easier in normal times, wouldn't it?'
"Anyway, Andrew, you come back just in time." Thomas said, "I'm going to hold a water resource meeting tonight."
On one hand, he wanted to attract investment for the water resource party of the Hundred Flower Empire in the east in the next ten years, and on the other hand, he wanted to eliminate griffins, the beats had recently invaded the Moonlight Lake Strict.
"The high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, famous warriors, and mages would all gather tonight.
Some even hired mages to bring their young talented disciples here.
Oh, by the way, the president of Lion Eagle Mage Academy, Nicholas, and the vice president, Akeni, would all be there.
It didn't matter if you couldn't learn magic at school.
Tonight, I'll take you to expand your social network at the water resource party.
In the future, I will take you to do family business little by little, and it won't be worse than mages."
Thomas said with a happy smile as if he had seen that Andrew would become an excellent aristocrat who was not inferior to him in the future.
Hearing this, Nason cast a strange glance at Andrew.
Andrew was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh.
'Generally, no one was allowed to spread the news in the school.
It seemed that his father didn't know that he was no longer a loser, did he?
Not to mention that I'm still Nicholas's student.'
With his hands clasped behind his back, Andrew made a zipping action to Nason's, indicating that he shouldn't say anything.
Nason rolled his eyes, showing no interest in talking nonsense.
"Okay, father. I'll be with you tonight."
Andrew agreed without hesitation.
It was a rare chance for him to see his father. His father was kind and wanted to make it up to him.
Andrew didn't want to disappoint him, so he agreed to attend the water resource party as his son.
Instead of the identity of the appointed person.
