Chapter 2

Glancing at the two people sitting behind him, Lean sighed.

These two people are really leisurely... Also, I'm the one driving the car... It's been three days, I really want to sleep... By the way, how long will it take to get here... Although I don't know the exact location, but Kasame Ding Mo Wu Academy... I remember it seems to be in the middle of the Leiden continent?Ah, I have to cross the continent... I don't want to drive a carriage across the sea... I want to sleep...

Crossing the sea in a horse-drawn carriage?you think too much.

"arrive."

"?"arrive?I don't have to drive the car anymore = I can sleep now~ When Lien heard these two words, such an equation instantly appeared in his mind.

"Seeing how sleepy you are, what's the matter?" Ryan said while being helped out of the carriage by Rex.

"One of the most important things in my life is sleep!" Make a fist.

"When you get to school, get things done and sleep as you like." Rex said helplessly, "Now let the horse go, we don't need to ride in a carriage anymore."

"Oh..." Lean touched his head, jumped out of the carriage, untied the noose tied to the horse, patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse, which had dragged them all the way, ran away.

……

"No, how can we go on without a horse——Isn't Kasamedin College in another continent——" shouted while holding his head.

"Forget being lazy, you're still so stupid." Lacey sighed and shook his head, "Every city will open a teleportation array directly leading to the interior of the college in January, so that students from various places can easily arrive at the school and take the entrance test .”

"Oh, so that's the case. Hey, by the way, where are your bags? Mom gave you a big bag just now..."

"You are stupid if you say you are stupid. Have you forgotten that there is a magical item called a storage ring in this world?"

"...You definitely didn't, or you would have shown it off to me a long time ago. It belongs to Rex, right~" Rion ran up to Rex in an instant, put his hands together, blinked non-stop, and said flatteringly, "Hey Hey, Boss Rex~ Help me pretend too~"

"..." Seeing him like this, Rex calmly turned his face to the side and said firmly, "It's full."

……

"You lied—! You bullied me—!"

"Lexi, let's go~" His eyes sparkled.

"Yeah." The two walked side by side to Carpenter City ahead, regardless of Lien who was making a fuss behind them.

……

"...Hey——! Wait for me! Don't leave me alone——!"

--------

"Wow~ there are so many people~" Lacey sighed.

Now, this group of three people is at the teleportation point from Carpenter City to Kasamedin Magic and Martial Arts Academy.

"Casamedin Magic and Martial Arts Academy is one of the best magic and martial arts colleges in the world. It recruits new students every January at the beginning of spring. Although the admission test is very strict, not many people are admitted every year, but after all It is the best, as long as you can get in, it means that there will be a brilliant future, so you have to try it anyway." Rex explained lightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a mocking smile , "The so-called best is actually just because the recruited students are all good seedlings selected from a million. Ah, Lean, don't sleep, cheer up, there are too many people here, be careful of things being... stolen... "

"...It has been stolen..." Lacey spread her hands.

…………

"...Ah! There are thieves!"

Lacey and Rex both raised their foreheads and lamented, this person's reflexes are too long...

"What to do, my burden..." Li En's face was downcast, tears were about to come out, "That's all my belongings..."

"Rael, can you do anything?" Lacey sighed.

"Well, there are a lot of people now anyway, go get the things back first, let's go."

"Hey, Lean, let's go."

"Hmm..." Pidianpidian followed.

"Is this right here?" Lacey sighed.

This is a slum.There is no shortage of slums anywhere, just like there is no shortage of nobles and landlords anywhere, this place is like a garbage dump for those people, throwing unnecessary things here, the environment is extremely poor, and there is a stench everywhere. The people who live here are from the bottom of society.

"Yes." Rex looked around and stared at them, or hid somewhere secretly meowing at them, feeling helpless.That's right, why would ordinary people come to such a place when they have nothing to do?

"Let's go, this way." He raised his foot and walked in one direction.

"Hey, wait for me..." Lien unconsciously lowered his voice very low.

"Found it." Rex's hand pointed in one direction.

"Huh? Child?" Following the direction Rex pointed, Lean saw a child sneaking into a dilapidated shed. The child was holding his baggage.

"It's children who make people easily let go of their guard." Lacey said, "Why, don't you go in and get your baggage?"

Lien frowned and said hesitantly, "How can I get it like this..."

After hearing this, Lacey narrowed his eyes and looked at Li En, "Then I'll get it."

"Hey?"

Rex shook his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "It's yours. No matter how difficult the child is or how difficult his life is, it's yours, not his." After speaking, he raised his heels and followed Lacey.

"This..." Li En had no choice but to keep up.

"It's not good, Rhea, just now I saw three people entering the place where Xiao Maotou lives, you should go and have a look!"

The boy named Rhea was reading a book in the house, and suddenly a person came in and really scared him.

"What's going on?" Reya put down the book in her hand, frowning.

"I don't know, but you should hurry up and have a look. If anything happens, you are the only one who can help here... Those two children are helpless, and my sister is also sick..." The visitor was worried. The whole face was wrinkled.

"...Let's go, I'll go take a look."

"I stole the things, and it has nothing to do with my sister! If you want to hit me, hit me! Anyway, I won't give you back the things anyway!" Xiao Maotou stood in front of his sister, staring at Lacey who was standing in front of him, He said harshly.

"Oh? Is it reasonable to steal something?" Lacey raised her eyebrows.

Lean looked at Little Maotou, then at Lacey, squeezed his fingers nervously, and whispered to Rex, "Rex, please persuade him, these two children are so pitiful, I, my thing Even if you give it to them..."

"Send? You said it nicely. This is your business. Now that Lacey has done it for you, just watch it carefully." Rex's words were very severe, not at all gentle as usual.

"Stop!" At this moment, Rhea arrived.

"..." Lacey heard the voice, turned her head to look at Rhea who was coming, and watched the man next to Rhea nervously running to the two children to check if they were injured.

"Why are you bullying the two children?" Reya asked sharply, frowning.

"Bullying? Which eye of yours saw me bullying them? I didn't scold or hit anyone. How can I say it's bullying?" Lacey felt even more amused as she spoke, "Why, I'm here to take back the bullying Is it wrong that the little boy stole something?"

"...Then you can't treat them like this." Reya was at a loss for words, but immediately realized, "What's more, you don't seem to be the kind of people who will bully the weak, and you are very rich, why bother with two people just for something? A child can't get through."

"...a little thing?" Lacey repeated in a low voice, looking at Rhea blankly.

"Snapped--!"

"Ah—brother Leia—!"

"you!"

"Ah, Lacey!" Lean cried in horror.

Lacey didn't care about the screaming child next to him or Rhea who was looking at him angrily, just rubbed his right hand lightly, and said lightly, "Does being rich mean helping someone who has nothing to do with me for free?" See When Rex frowned and stretched out his hand to him, Lacey smiled, stretched out his hand obediently, and enjoyed the service, then turned to face Rhea with a full face of sarcasm, "What's more, the one who stole our things People. I hate people like you the most. If you think you are in pain, you can accept other people’s kindness for granted, and even ask others to give you kindness? Huh, today is us, if it is any other nobleman, what do you think? What will happen? Besides, what is that thing, it is the clothes that Li En's mother made for him, what do you know!"

"Wow——! I'll return the things to you, don't bully Brother Leiya anymore, woo woo..." Xiao Maotou hugged his sister, and finally couldn't help crying.

Lacey finally made the baby cry.

……

"Hmph!" He stopped looking at Rhea, but turned to squat down in front of the child.

"What are you going to do?" The person who came with Rhea looked at Lacey warily.

Glancing at the person who came with Rhea, Lacey touched Xiao Maotou's messy haired head with a smile, and said to him: "Remember, don't steal things from people who are stronger than you in the future, just steal things. Of course, you have to be unaware. Don’t think that you can be unconditionally forgiven by others because you are weak. People who do bad things for no reason are everywhere. If you want to survive, you have to be stronger than anyone else.” After finishing speaking, he chuckled and stood up. Get up and call the other two to go.

"Stop!" Rhea was very unwilling. He admitted that he felt that Lacey was right, but... "...I...I remember you!"

"... Huh? Who wants you to remember... What, you want to take revenge? You'd better forget about it~" After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.What an inexplicable person, such a sentence popped up in a long time, really...

"Lacey, those two children are quite pitiful..." Lian said hesitantly.

"Huh? Then you don't want what Aunt Green gave you?" Lacey raised her eyebrows.

"I……"

"Don't worry, the people in the slums are unexpectedly strong. Besides, the slums have a slum way of life. Since it has existed for so long, there is a reason for its existence. It's not working anymore, isn't there another name for that?" , um, Rhythia's guy." Thinking of the person who said he remembered him, Lacey shuddered, it was really an inexplicable person. "Although that guy is not very old, it seems that he still has some status here, and he might be quite powerful. Otherwise, the old uncle just now would not have come to him."

After hearing Lacey's words, Lean was slightly relieved.Then……

"Ah, Lacey, you didn't give me my things~"

"At Rex's place, you'd better not take things, so as not to cause trouble."

"I said at the beginning that I wanted him to help me~"

"You still have reason..."

"By the way, you were teaching bad children just now, you really were teaching bad children!"

"Am I wrong? Are you still stealing things with the word thief written on your face?"

"Hello..."

"..."

Rex looked at Lacey tenderly, yes, he looked at Lacey alone, with a smile on his face.Suddenly he felt Rhea's gaze, turned his head in surprise, looked at Rhea, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a weird smile.
