Insufficient balance

  "Classmates, today we have two new classmates joining our class. They are the top scorers in this year's entrance exam, Chang Yong and Ma Ke. Let's give them a warm welcome." The classroom erupted in applause.

  This morning, I was assigned to the second grade A class by the teacher from the teaching department. It's said that this is the best class in the second grade. Unexpectedly, Mark was also assigned to the second grade and even ended up in the same class as me. Even the green-haired old big shot I met yesterday is in this class. Looks like my future days won't be easy.

  I was so deep in thought that I didn't even know what the teacher said before class ended. After class, the teacher told Mark and me about the college's learning methods: classes are only held in the morning, and students practice on their own in the afternoon. The teaching style is surprisingly flexible, allowing students to study at their own pace based on their interests. If they don't understand something, they can ask teachers or look up materials in the library. It's completely different from the strict teaching I imagined initially.

  "Older brother, where is your dormitory? I am 209." As soon as we went out, Mark started chatting with me.

  "I'm fine, I was just wondering if you're being bullied by your dorm mates since we've been together for 20 years?"

  "No, they all seem busy practicing magic and meditation, nobody paid attention to me. Boss, are you still mad about what happened last time?"

  "I'm not so petty, I've already let you off during the exam, just forget about the past, but be more careful with your words in the future!"

  "Alright, alright"

  At this time, an unexpected guest arrived, "Younger brother, come here and help me with the daily cleaning in the classroom." It's Green Hair Boss!

  "What are you to dare speak to me like that!" Unexpectedly, Mark was quite fierce.

  "What are you, enough is enough, he's my new little brother I just took in yesterday, I asked him to help me with some things, what's wrong with that." Green Hair said with a pout.

  "What? You dare to make my elder brother your younger brother? That would make me the younger brother of a younger brother! No way, I want to duel with you."

  "Who's afraid of who? If you've got the guts, come on. It's just a newborn, what's so great about it?" In their conversation, I feel like Green Hair has a somewhat sinister tone, he wouldn't...

  "Element of fire, listen to my command, condense into a fireball and annihilate the enemy in front of you!" Since he didn't know the opponent's background, Marc first released a small magic spell to test the opponent's strength.

  "No, I was wrong, please forgive me. My dad is the current prime minister, look at my dad's status (omitted 300 words)" Unbelievable! Mark and I exchanged a glance. It turned out that he was indeed a foolish guy. Thinking of being fooled by him yesterday made me so angry that I didn't want to hold back anymore. Immediately, I gave Mark a signal and we both shouted: "Beat him up!" We didn't use magic (afraid of losing control and killing him), and immediately gave Green Hair a real-life beating lesson.

  "Green-haired stinker, how are you again? You're really bringing shame to our school. How can you be on the same level as this stinker?" This was said to both of us. It turned out that he was also a second-year student (the school uniform had a badge indicating the grade), and all I could see was his thick black hair, although he was only in his early teens, but his face showed a resolute expression, it seemed like I saw him before, seemed like he's also our classmate.

  "Hello, it's like this..." The black-haired youth couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing my description.

  "You two are the new students, right? Green-haired stinker is a big attraction in our school. He's a total waste who can't do anything and was only admitted because of his father's influence."

  "Hello, I'm Chang Gong. Why do you guys always seem to bully him? Aren't you afraid he'll take revenge?" I said with some curiosity.

  "Hello, I'm Gu Ke. As a second-year student majoring in Wind Magic, only the best talents in the country can enter the Royal Intermediate Magic Academy. Here, only strength matters, and to someone like you, humph! Moreover, our principal and vice-principal are two of the top 10 mages on the entire Eastern Continent, with an extremely high status in the country. Only they have the final say in academy affairs." Gu Ke said proudly.

  There are so many reasons, "Excuse me, what is a chief birth?" Mark asked somewhat puzzled.

  "This is all unknown, it's just the most powerful in the same grade." The green-haired bug answered hastily.

  "Oh, so you're like the chief of the newborns now?" Mark said to me.

  Seeing the gleam in Wuke's eyes, I thought that if a gaze could kill, I would have killed Mark 100 times. Seeing me staring at him fiercely, Mark knew he had said something wrong again.

  "I didn't know you were so powerful, I'll have to find a chance to spar with you sometime." Trouble has come indeed, this Mark, for the sake of ensuring my safety, I must not be with him in the future.

  "We're just freshmen, how can we be compared to you, a senior? Let's practice for two more years and then compete with you." I immediately used my flattering skills again, while hinting at Gou Ke that he was bullying us younger students.

  "Alright, you guys must work hard and don't embarrass our Class A. I'm leaving now, Green Hair, why aren't you going to do the daily chores yet?" It turned out he was looking for Green Hair to do the daily chores.

  Mark and I wandered around the academy, everywhere we could see many students of the academy, except for the freshmen who had just joined the academy, all the senior students were very quiet, quietly practicing their own magic, the learning atmosphere here is really strong.

  "Boss, it seems we have to work hard. Look at the students here, they're all practicing diligently. And look at those who are dressed luxuriously, I reckon they're nobles, yet they're also constantly practicing magic. Truly worthy of being a royal magic academy!"

  I also sighed: "Yes, let's go to the library and take a look. Find the magic books we need and practice them well." Even I, who have always been lazy, had a feeling that I couldn't help but learn, which shows how good the atmosphere here is.
