“Look at the children of Aunt Zhou's family. They bought cars and houses at a young age, and they also have such beautiful girlfriends!
Look at you, 30 years old, no car, no house, no savings, and no girlfriend!
Why don't you go die, you good-for-nothing? What use are you to me...”
“Wake up, Luo Ning....”
There seemed to be other voices in the cold cursing.
But Luo Ning ignored it. Luo Ning hugged his arms tighter, which could greatly relieve the pain caused by cerebral hypoxia.
The taste of suffocation was not pleasant. Luo Ning hoped it would end soon, so that the noise in his mind that kept repeating that he was a useless person would disappear together.
It was a bit of a pity that the drowned child was not found. If he could do a good deed before he died, then the name of useless person would probably not be so loud.
Luo Ning curled up his body and prepared to have a good sleep, but the strange sound did not disappear, but became louder and louder. Luo Ning felt that someone was pulling him.
“Luo Ning, wake up!”
Luo Ning suddenly opened his eyes. The empty and silent picture disappeared, and what came into view were strange faces.
These people were wearing clothes similar to wizard robes, and they were staring at him at this time, and the old man dressed like a teacher was constantly sneering at him.
Where is this? Wasn't I preparing to whale fall and then nourish all things?
Without giving Luo Ning time to think, the old man wearing a pointed hat on the round platform spoke.
“It seems that Luo Ning is very confident in the trial, so much so that he dares to sleep in the most critical survival class...”
“Then please Luo Ning answer the question 'How to deal with an interrupted spellcasting'. Presumably, with Luo Ning's wisdom, he should be able to give a perfect answer.”
Looking at the old man's sinister eyes, Luo Ning knew something was wrong...
As expected, Luo Ning was kicked out of the classroom and made to stand as punishment.
The cold walls of the corridor quickly calmed Luo Ning down.
Luo Ning quickly sorted out the memories of this body.
The world he traveled to was very interesting. It was a medieval world with magic and battle qi. The current location was a place called Snowman City under the rule of the Rhine Duchy.
The original body was also called Luo Ning, born into the Lannister Family, and was the Boss of the family. He is currently studying at Tanas Magic Academy.
In Luo Ning's mind, there was not much memory about the family. He only knew that this family did not like him very much. The deepest impression was his father's cold face and his stepmother's repeated insults and mockery in private.

“Tomorrow is the academy trial. Needless to say for the successful ones, for the losers... I suggest you make plans early. Finally, I hope the elementals can continue to favor you. Class dismissed.”
After speaking, the old man wearing a pointed hat turned and walked out of the classroom, not even looking at Luo Ning when he passed by.
After the old man left, the sound of rustling and tidying up and the sound of moving chairs rang out in the classroom.
After a while, the young men and women walked out of the classroom in groups.
Luo Ning didn't intend to be laughed at, so naturally he wouldn't stand there stupidly. He also followed the crowd and prepared to leave.
What was most interesting in his mind was the memory about spellcasting. Luo Ning was eager to confirm the authenticity, so he now just wanted to quickly find a place where he could cast spells.
Just as Luo Ning was identifying the direction and preparing to leave quickly, a voice that made people's bones go soft came from behind.
“Luo Ning, wait for me!”
Luo Ning turned his head in confusion, and what came into view was a beautiful girl with red hair and red eyes.
Her palm-sized face was inlaid with gem-like red pupils, and her slightly curly red hair looked like a burning flame because of the chase.
Based on the fragments in his memory, Luo Ning remembered her name.
“Anna.”
A childhood playmate.
The two were very close when they were young, and Anna even said that she would marry the original owner.
However, the relationship became much weaker after growing up, perhaps because of the inequality of their identities, or perhaps because they had seen the world.
Luo Ning imitated the original owner's tone and greeted her.
Anna walked to Luo Ning's side with a smile. The two stood shoulder to shoulder, very close.
Luo Ning awkwardly made way. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not so close in his memory? This made Luo Ning have to think about the purpose of Anna calling him.
However, in order to avoid exposing that the original owner had been replaced, Luo Ning could not be too proactive, so he remained silent and responded to all changes.
After walking shoulder to shoulder for a while, Anna suddenly asked, “Luo Ning, what are your plans for the apprentice trial?”
Luo Ning couldn't say that he hadn't even figured out how to cast spells yet, so he could only vaguely say, “I'll take it one step at a time.”
Anna tilted her head cutely and didn't ask further.
After a moment of silence, Anna suddenly started talking about their families.
“Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, we're about to graduate. Luo Ning, do you still remember what your parents looked like? I can't even remember their specific appearance anymore. I only remember that my father was a businessman and was out socializing every day...”
Faced with the sudden depression of the girl beside him, Luo Ning hummed in agreement.
“Aren't you going to talk about yourself? Although you are very low-key, I know that you are from the Lannister Family.” As she said this, Anna blinked her eyes very cutely.
Luo Ning muttered in his heart, “Finally, the cat's out of the bag,” but his expression did not show it. He pondered for a moment and said calmly, “There's nothing to say.”
Anna's eyes twitched slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
Looking sideways at the couples passing by, the girl said to herself, “Magic is really amazing. It can actually allow commoners and noblemen to sit in the same classroom. I never dared to imagine that before, but the result is just like this.”
The red-haired beauty paused and then said, “I once thought that there was no difference between me and you, but later I realized that I was terribly wrong.”
Anna glanced at the silent Luo Ning, forced a smile, and continued, “My talent is not very good, so my family is not prepared to continue sponsoring my studies. They are preparing to marry me off, but I don't want to give up so quickly.”
“And Luo Ning, although you have always been very low-key, I know that you will definitely be able to pass the trial, right?”
Anna's words evoked memories deep in Luo Ning's mind. The original owner did have something to rely on. Half a month ago, the original owner received the inheritance left by his mother. In addition to a Formal Level staff, there were also three Formal Level Magic scrolls and some magical materials and magical crystals.
Although Luo Ning hadn't even figured out how to cast spells yet, he also knew what it meant to have these at the apprentice stage.
“Luo Ning, do you still remember what was the first magic you learned?” Anna asked in a very soft voice.
Luo Ning rummaged through his memories. The first magic that the original owner learned was Magic Hand, one of the ten useless magics. In terms of family background, the original owner had better choices, but because of curiosity about the difference between the left and right concubines and Magic Hand, so...
Before Luo Ning could answer, Anna continued, “The first magic I learned was Light.”
“The reason for choosing this magic is ridiculous, because I have always envied you being able to study in a bright environment, so I chose this magic, which is known as one of the ten useless magics.”
After a pause, Anna continued.
“I still remember the scene when I cast the spell for the first time. When the ball of light left my fingertips and floated in the air, I was so excited that I jumped and shouted...”
That was one of the few times in my life that I really felt happy.
But this beautiful memory is about to be shattered...
Luo Ning, if possible, I would like to ask you to help me. I won't be greedy and ask you to sponsor me with magical items. I just want to team up with you.
You don't have to worry about me being a burden. I am different from those Noble Miss. I clearly know my situation, so I specially chose the auxiliary magician route. I may not be able to provide powerful output, but I can assist you very well... Can we restore the intimacy we had when we were young?”
After saying these words, Anna took a step forward.
The shadows cast on the ground were glued together, forming an unresolvable darkness.
