Chapter 1124 Little Amy Wants to go on a Holiday!
“Alright, come and eat first,” Mag said with a smile and removed his ap.r.o.n as he watched Miya put the last dish on the table.
“I don’t have to pay for all this food?” Camilla asked hesitantly as she looked at the table full of food.
“Yes, this is one of the staff’s benefits.” Mag nodded. As a matter of fact, the meals provided for the staff cost more than their wages.
Camilla’s eyes lit up as she said, “Then, can I have another bowl of tofu pudding?”
Mag shook his head. “Nope. Even our service staff are ent.i.tled to one helping of tofu pudding for each meal only. It’s easy to be over-nourished if you have too much of that.”
“Okay.” Camilla sat down on an empty seat. It was rare that she didn’t continue to ask. She picked up the chopsticks and ate quietly.
After breakfast, Mag sent Amy to school on his bicycle. Camilla, who had finished this morning’s tasks, flew out via the back window and left the restaurant discreetly.
“Madam, are we really going to be controlled by a human just because of a Photostone?” Caesar said aggrievedly in a small alley.
Camilla gave Caesar a side glance, her voice laced with disgust as she said, “You were scared of a little fat cat. You are such a shame.”
“Madam, you cannot blame me for that. That fatty is definitely not an ordinary cat. I have a fear that comes from my soul whenever I face it—”
“Shut up,” Camilla interrupted Caesar, clenching her fists. “I will not admit defeat this easily. Agreeing to stay at Mamy Restaurant is just an interim plan. My objective is to gain his trust first, and then find a chance to steal the Photostone. Then, I will no longer be controlled by him.”
“Madam is indeed a clever strategist,” Caesar praised her immediately.
“Alright, let’s come up with a plan first. Tonight…”
…
Mag brought along a set of Youtiao and soybean milk as he sent Amy to her new magic cla.s.sroom.
The new magic cla.s.sroom that was built by Kra.s.su personally was already completed. It was three times larger than the previous magic cla.s.sroom. It was an individual building that was located alone in the northwest of Chaos School.
It looked like a squarish black box from the outside—nothing outstanding.
However, people who had visited it all knew that this was the most advanced magic cla.s.sroom in Chaos City, or perhaps even the entire Norland Continent. It held all the a.s.sisting machines and training rooms for all the different levels of magic training. At the same time, it also had a pink color theme playroom.
Yes, that was Amy’s personal magic cla.s.sroom.
“Boss Mag, this youtiao you made is so tasty. I will have youtiao with savory soybean milk as breakfast from now on,” Kra.s.su said happily as he chewed on the youtiao loudly.
“Master Kra.s.su, the other children are going to have their breaks, when will you be giving me a break?” Amy already asked hastily before Mag could even open his mouth.
“Cough…” Kra.s.su, who was drinking the soybean milk, choked. He coughed for a while before looking at Amy perplexedly. “Break? What break? There is a break for magic training?”
“It’s like this, Lord Kra.s.su. The students of Chaos School have a school holiday during the coldest time of winter every year. It is to welcome the Peace Day holiday too. There are also two months of holidays in summer during the hottest period,” Mag explained smilingly. According to his memory, only Chaos School had the summer and winter breaks. The students at Rodu didn’t have them.
“The teachers at Chaos School really know how to enjoy themselves. They don’t bother to teach the children knowledge and abilities properly. Instead, they are thinking about how to enjoy themselves. They don’t teach during the hottest time in summer and the coldest time in winter, and still push the blame to the students. We shouldn’t encourage this at all,” Kra.s.su said with a frown.
“This sounds… rather reasonable.” Mag nodded thoughtfully.
“No way. I want to have a school break too!” Amy placed her hands at her hips as she pouted. “Why can the other children have a break and I can’t? Amy wants to have a holiday too!”
“Erm… Little Amy, learning magic is a matter that needs long-term perseverance from us. If we stop for a month or two so frequently every now and then, we will lose our touch with the magic. Then, we can never become a powerful magic caster. This is the time for you to lay down the foundation, and it will be a bad thing if you lose touch,” Kra.s.su explained to her patiently.
Mag looked at Amy. Even though he knew Amy wanted to have her break, this was a negotiation between the little one and her teacher, after all. So, he chose to remain silent and let Amy make the choice for herself.
Amy put down her hands and hesitantly asked Kra.s.su, “I will not become a powerful magic caster if I go on a break?”
Kra.s.su nodded. “Yes. I already planned a tight course schedule for the next three months. If Amy can follow the schedule closely, you can have a good chance to break through to the 7th-tier and become an advanced magic caster.”
Amy glanced at Mag, and then asked, “Will I be able to protect Father if I become an advanced magic caster?”
“Being an advanced magic caster means that you are already a powerhouse with a higher standing in this world. Of course you will be able to protect Boss Mag.” Kra.s.su nodded.
“Then, I don’t want to go on a break. I want to continue to learn magic,” Amy said with conviction.
A smile appeared on Mag’s face. He didn’t expect the little one to give up on her holiday so that she could protect him. He had a warm feeling in his heart instantly. He respected her decision.
“Good, good, good,” Kra.s.su said, showing his approval. Becoming an advanced magic caster within six months of learning magic, this precious disciple was going to set a legendary record in the history of Norland Continent.
“Lord Kra.s.su, Little Amy, I will go back now,” Mag said as he turned to leave.

“Have you heard about it? Mamy Restaurant released a new soup called ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ yesterday. It’s priced at 10,000 copper coins,” an old man said laughingly in a tea shop in the morning.
“Is that boss crazy!? 10,000 copper coins for a bowl? Are there people stupid enough to buy that?”
Someone quickly joined in the chat, and the other customers began to look over.
“Oh, the 10-odd bowls that were released yesterday were sold out in a flash.”
“Seems like there are plenty of idiots in this world.”
“You have no idea about the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’s effect. I heard that two knights have advanced on the spot after they ate it. The most miraculous thing is that the hair has begun to regrow on bald men after they drank it!” the old man said with amazement.
“Wah!”
Commotion broke out in the teahouse immediately. A few bald middle-aged men and low-tier knights began to gather around the old man.
