A stinky cultivator has arrived in the magic world.

Chapter 11 You Encountered a Barbarian Descendant

Viola, unsuspecting, took a sip like Lorne, her azure eyes lighting up:

"Mmm~ Delicious!"

This little purple drink is sweet and sour, and refreshingly cool when ice is added. It's truly invigorating and uplifting.

"What is this? It's actually quite delicious!"

"This is called sour plum drink, it's a local beverage in our area."

Lorne leaned against the shadows, looking at the sky and giving a perfunctory reply.

Actually, he made this using a wild fruit called "tamarind" according to a recipe from his memory. Looking across the entire continent, he is probably the only one who knows this skill.

Viola's eyes sparkled: "People there really know how to drink!"

She then looked somewhat disappointed:

"Although our family is a prestigious one, there are many magicians in the family. They have refined tastes and no appetite. Some of them don't even eat. They absorb some magical elements every day to supplement their nutrition. From childhood to adulthood, I have longed for the delicacies outside."

Lorne responded with sympathy: "Poor rich man."

If they were to make something like Super A Cheese Grape or Green Grape Jasmine Milk Foam, wouldn't it make your tongue drool?

While bickering with Viola, Lorne gazed at the sky, slightly lost in thought.

He has now passed all the tests, and judging from the system's feedback, things went quite smoothly with Professor Sylvie as well. He has successfully obtained admission to Silver Academy.

He was an orphan who grew up in a welfare home. He had no money to test his talent, no background, and no resources. He relied entirely on ten years of work points to exchange for a recommendation vote, and managed to break into the most prestigious academy in the magic world.

If this gets back to the orphanage, the nannies who watched him grow up will probably be glaring at him.

Riding the spring breeze with swift hooves, nothing could be more delightful.

Lorne's lips curled up uncontrollably as he took another sip of plum juice, already planning his life after enrolling: orthodox magical education, alchemy, potions, various types of magic... By then, he would be a member of a sect and wouldn't have to worry about wandering around as a rogue cultivator.

It feels just like the time you spend waiting for the start of school after finding out you've been accepted into a university.

Ah, that feels good.

The two of them sipped their drinks.

suddenly.

A large, handsome face suddenly appeared above them, two innocent pupils staring at them, blinking rapidly:

"Big brother, what are you drinking?"

It was that giant boy. His head was bigger than an iron pot, but he looked strangely handsome. Combined with his bulging muscles and incredibly tall body, it all seemed incongruous.

Well, after basking in someone's shade for half the day, I still got caught.

Lorne then took out a bottle of plum juice and shared it with the giant boy as payment for rent.

"Thank you, big brother!"

The giant boy carefully lifted the small porcelain bottle with two fingers. In his hands, it looked like a miniature toy. With a gentle pour, before he could even taste the flavor, the entire bottle of plum juice was gone.

Seeing the giant boy looking down with a lingering expression, Lorne spread his hands and said, "That's all."

Giants are a naturally gluttonous race. It is said that they love human food the most, and they have an enormous appetite, capable of eating the equivalent of dozens of people in one meal. Therefore, many human restaurants welcome giants.

Unfortunately, giants rarely appear outside the North.

"Oh~" The giant boy was extremely disappointed, but then his eyes brightened as he introduced himself again:

"Hello, brothers and sisters. My name is Thormont. I come from the Mountain Giants lineage of the Giant race. I am fourteen years old."

Lorne glanced at his muscular physique and said, "You call this fourteen years old?"

"My name is Viola."

"Lorne".

Viola asked curiously:

"Don't you giants always live in the Giant Mountains of the North? How did you get out here?"

"And how did you pass the mental affinity test?"

Thormont scratched his head, his face showing an innocent and naive expression:

"I am a hybrid of a human mage and a giant, and I also have a level seven mental affinity. My father said that Silver Academy is the best magic academy in the human world, so he asked me to give it a try."

Lorne felt that this sentence contained a lot of information.

What is a hybrid of human and giant?

He looked at Thormont's figure, which was comparable to a small house, and then imagined the size of an adult giant.

An adult human wouldn't even be as big as the palm of an adult giant, right?

Moreover, it is said that the Mountain Giants are the largest of the giants, averaging over twenty meters tall when they reach adulthood.

Wow, true love really can overcome all difficulties.

"Human magician, mountain giant..." Viola, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something upon hearing this. After glancing at Tormont several times, she asked:

"Your father isn't Caleb Oladiel, is he?"

Tormont's surprise:

"Sister, do you know my father? My full name is Tormont Orlandi! Are you or your elders my father's friends in the human world?"

Viola's expression was complicated: "I guess so."

Noticing the questioning look from Lorne, she explained:

"The Orlandil family is a magical family on par with our Norton family. When this senior Caleb was studying at Silver Academy, he fell in love with a female giant and followed her to the giant race. As a result, he was expelled from the Orlandil family, which was a major event that shocked the entire magical world."

Lorne was filled with awe.

In other words, Thormont's father was the human, while his mother was a mountain giant tens of meters tall.

Our role models—no, let's not envy them!

The giant boy Thormont scratched his head, looking rather simple and honest.

"My father said his family wouldn't allow him to teach magic, so he sent me to his alma mater to learn orthodox magic."

So that's how it is. No wonder this senior, despite possessing such powerful magical skills, sent his child to study in human society.

As a long-standing magical family, it's normal for them to have some peculiar rules.

The giant boy immediately looked worried again:

"But I can't even pass the entrance exam... and the exams are almost over."

If he hasn't passed the test by the end, he'll have to go back to the Giant Mountains.

……

You have encountered descendants of barbarians. Barbarians are inherently brutal, possess powerful bloodlines, and are formidable in combat.

[But he seems to be facing some difficulties now. We can try to help him solve them to gain his favor, and then refine him into a puppet or blood slave as an ally in the future.]

……

Who would want to refine it into a puppet?!

If I were to actually do that, the giants might come out in full force to attack me, this demon, no sooner or later!

However, Lorne actually had a way to help him solve his problem.

He beckoned to the giant boy, Thormont:

"Young man, I see you have extraordinary talent, a magical prodigy unlike any other. I have a plan that can help you pass the test. Would you like to hear it?"

The sorrowful giant was suddenly overjoyed, his eyes shining like copper bells:

"Please teach me, big brother!"

Lorne gestured for him to crouch down and whispered something in his ear.

The giant boy nodded repeatedly, his face full of disbelief. Finally, he stood up confidently and shouted at Carol, who was already waiting to pack up the magical items:

"Wait a minute!"
