The three of them walked along the passage under the fountain for nearly twenty minutes, and Kyle felt as if he had passed through the entire Beauxbatons.

But the strange thing was that the water above their heads always existed, as if they were circling around the fountain.

Until a beam of light appeared in front of Kyle, which was completely different from the light in the passage... It was a golden door, shining brightly under the light.

Furong, who was walking in front, grabbed the door handle and pushed it gently.

"I was just wondering who would break into the secret passage of the fountain, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Ms. Maxim's voice came from the other side of the door, "Why, what do you want to see me at school?"

"Long time no see, Ms. Maxime." Furong said, "But it's not me who wants to come here this time, it's him..."

Fleur moved aside to allow Kyle and Connor to walk out of the passage.

"Is it you?"

Seeing Kyle, Ms. Maxime seemed a little surprised, as if she didn't expect to meet him here.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Maxime," Kyle said politely, looking up at the Beauxbatons headmaster who was twice as tall as him.

He has grown a lot taller in the past few years, but when he looks at Ms. Maxime, he seems to have not changed much and still has to look up.

"Welcome." Ms. Maxim came over. "Welcome to you too, beautiful lady. I remember your name is Connor Prince."

"Yes, Ms. Maxime." Kanna bowed gracefully, "I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"I don't remember, I'm impressed." Madam Maxime said, "Are you interested in working at Beauxbatons? We have always been in need of excellent potion professors."

Kanna was a little flattered and subconsciously looked at Kyle.

"It's okay, you don't have to answer me now. Just know that the door here is always open to you." Ms. Maxim said with a smile without embarrassing Kanna too much.

Then she looked at Kyle again and said in a delighted tone, "Have you finally figured it out and decided to come to Beauxbatons? I think this is the best place for you. You have no future in Hogwarts."

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, but I haven't thought about it that much for now." Kyle smiled, "I'm just here to visit during my vacation."

"Vacation?" Madam Maxime asked in confusion, "Your troubles were resolved so quickly... I didn't hear Albus mention that?"

"No." Kyle shook his head, "It's just been put on hold for some reasons. The Death Eaters have been quiet lately, and I have some free time before I figure out their conspiracy.

"But there are professionals doing this kind of thing, and I can't help."

"I see." Madam Maxime nodded. "War does bring about various situations. It's good to relax a little. It's easier to make mistakes if you're always tense."

"I thought so too," Kyle said with a smile.

"Then go ahead and have a look. I'll let Furong..." She glanced at the girl next to her, as if she had thought of something, and shook her head and said, "Forget it, let Gabrielle show you around, lest you be hated by her crazy suitors."

"Just following someone around will make people hate you?" Kanna was a little surprised. "Isn't that a bit too much?"

"If you were half Veela, you'd know it's not that hard to understand," Fleur said nonchalantly.

"Indeed." Kyle nodded.

The natural charm of the Veela is like a perfume made from aphrodisiacs, which will make people unconsciously do some incomprehensible actions.

This is also the reason why she would cover her face with a hat in public. After all, it is not as safe outside as in school, and Furong is not strong enough to deal with all the troubles.

"But Gabrielle seems to be your sister." Kyle asked, "Is she different from you?"

"She is still young," Furong explained, "and she has more wizard blood, so it won't have much impact."

"And her English is the best here."

"No need to elaborate on this point." Kyle laughed dryly. "Actually, there's no need to make such a fuss. I won't be here for long. I'll be back in half a day at most. Can they still chase me to England?"

"I'm not worried about you..." Ms. Maxim glanced at Kyle calmly, "I'm worried about my students."

"What does this mean?"

"Is it hard to understand?" She chuckled. "Although I am in France, I have paid special attention to your deeds and actions... How should I put it? I don't want my students to faint for no reason or break a leg or something like that."

"There must be some misunderstanding here," Kyle said.

But before he could explain, he heard Ms. Maxime continue:

"Also, when I talked to Mr. Flamel again, he had the same opinion of you as I did. He thought you were not as... kind as you appeared."

"Of course, I'm not belittling you." Ms. Maxime walked around to the table at the side, took out a few standard-sized teacups, and with a touch of her finger, they were immediately filled with tea.

She held the cups like popcorn and placed them in front of Kyle and Connor.

"In the wizarding world, kindness is a precious quality, but if a wizard is only kind, he will become an extremely stupid fool. Similarly, I will not allow such a person to enter Beauxbatons."

Kyle didn't say anything, just took a sip of tea in silence.

Only French wizards would enjoy it. Even he could taste it. It tasted much better than the ordinary stuff he drank at Dumbledore's.

When the two finished their tea, there was a knock on the door.

"Gabrielle should be here." Madam Maxime motioned for Fleur to open the door.

"Ms. Maxime, the magic mirror said you were looking for me...Sister, why are you here?"

It was indeed Gabrielle Delacour outside the door. She looked much taller than before, and her appearance was more elegant and refined, with a hint of trying to catch up with her sister.

But it's true. The last time I saw Gabrielle was at the Triwizard Tournament. At that time, she was just a freshman. Now, she should be a fourth year.

Gabrielle hugged Fleur tightly before noticing that Kyle and Connor were there too.

"It's you... Kyle and Connor!" She looked even more excited and screamed, "Are you all going to work at Beauxbatons?"

Subconsciously, Kyle looked at Ms. Maxime.

What kind of headmaster teaches what kind of students? Why do people in Beauxbatons always want them to come here? Madam Maxime looked straight ahead and chose to ignore Kyle's gaze... This was not difficult for her.

"Gabriel, what classes do you have this afternoon?" she asked.

"Magical history."

"Take a leave. Considering your grades in this course, it shouldn't matter if you miss a class." Ms. Maxime said, "Take the two of you to have a good look around Beauxbatons in the afternoon and let them know more about the heritage and excellent atmosphere here."

"I understand, Ms. Maxime, leave it to me." Gabrielle said seriously, as if she had accepted some important task.

Kyle was of course clear about the meaning behind their conversation, which was simply to make them like this place and stay.

Ms. Maxime had no intention of hiding her thoughts, and Kyle pretended not to hear anything. After putting the teacup back in its place, he and Connor stood up and followed the excited Gabrielle out of the room.

"What a surprise. I didn't expect you to come to France... and to Beauxbatons."

Gabrielle was very excited all the way, chattering: "I tell you, Beauxbatons is really the best magic school in the world, better than Hogwarts...

"Sorry, I mean I think it's better than Hogwarts. The castle there is too dark. Even in the daytime, some places need to be illuminated by torches, but here there is no such trouble."

"It's okay, it's true," Kyle said.

Hogwarts is indeed a bit dark due to the structure of the castle, but in a way, this is also a feature.

Kyle looked up. The ceiling here was like a huge piece of glass. The sunlight could illuminate almost every wall with exquisite relief carvings, the neat floor tiles, and the students' fashionable blue silk uniforms.

I have to say, at least in terms of visual aspect, this place is much better than Hogwarts, especially when the sun is shining, the mood walking here becomes much better.

No wonder France has never produced any dark wizards. Perhaps it has something to do with the bright and shining campus environment of Beauxbatons.

"I'm really happy today." Gabrielle continued walking forward, "I always thought I would have to wait until my sister's wedding before I could see you again."

"Your sister's wedding?" Kyle raised an eyebrow.

"That's Bill Weasley... that's his name, right?" She thought for a moment and then said, "Why, don't you know?"

"I know," Kyle said, "but I didn't expect she would tell you that."

"Not only me, but our whole family knows about it." Gabrielle said, "It's rare for my sister to meet someone she really likes. Our whole family supports her and is ready to attend their wedding at any time... go this way."

Gabriel led them through a row of huge pillars that looked like they were carved from jade, and came to an even more spectacular huge platform.

This place is about as big as the Hogwarts Great Hall, and the ground is covered with intricate magic runes.

Above the platform were circles of circular corridors. Kyle counted them and found that there were six floors in total.

"Where are you going to visit first?" Gabrielle turned around and asked, "Let me take you. There are so many places worth seeing here that even an afternoon may not be enough."

"Then let's go to the alchemy classroom first." Kyle blurted out, as if he had planned it long ago. "I heard that this is the most popular course in Beauxbatons."

"Yes, there are indeed many people who like Professor Victor's class, and so do I." Gabrielle nodded. She walked to the platform, cleared her throat, and said in clear French: "Alchemy classroom."

The magic runes under the feet of the three people lit up, and countless stones broke away from the ground and gathered around them, forming a simple elevator that carried them upwards.

"Oh, what a great design!" Kanna exclaimed.

"It was designed by Mr. Flamel, including the fountain in the square," Gabrielle said proudly. "It is unique and can only be seen in Beauxbatons."

As they were talking, the elevator had already reached the third floor. The original guardrail automatically opened a gap and connected with the elevator, fitting together perfectly.

"This way." Gabrielle stretched out her hand, "What you see in front of you is the alchemy classroom, but the class has already started and Professor Victor has a bad temper, so we can only watch from outside.

"But when the get out of class is over, I can ask the professor to take you to the classroom. You are the guests of President Maxim, so there will be no problem."

"It's okay, you can just take a look outside."

Kyle looked up.

He swore he had never seen such a large classroom, taking up almost a third of the floor.

Through the windows on both sides, you can clearly see what is happening inside.

The classroom was filled with white smoke. Kyle took two steps forward and could vaguely see that it was coming from a huge brass furnace in the middle of the classroom.

Whenever a student put something into the stove, this kind of smoke would come out from the gaps around it, mostly white, but also light gray.

But every time this happened, the professor-looking man would loudly scold the students who put their things there.

"Kyle, look here."

At this moment, Connor suddenly pulled Kyle's arm and pointed at the three eye-catching lines of text on the classroom door. "What does this mean? It doesn't seem to be French."

"Oh, this is..." Just as Gabriel was about to explain, Kyle said, "When you join this sect, you must remember: curb your inner greed, follow the principle of equal exchange, do not cross the realm of God, and prohibit human transmutation."

"This is the basic principle of alchemy, and it is something every beginner must know."

"Can you understand?" Gabrielle opened her eyes wide and looked at Kyle in surprise, as if she was looking at a strange animal.

"I don't know what Furong told you." Kyle rubbed his forehead, "But this isn't French, of course I can understand it."

"What is that?" Kanna asked in confusion, "Runes? They look a bit like that, but they're quite different."

"It is the oldest rune that has never been translated." Kyle explained: "This is a sentence from the Emerald Record, and it has been copied exactly as it was. It's really professional."

"Where did this Englishman come from, coming to Beauxbatons and making such a fuss? It's as if you've read The Emerald Record."

A sarcastic voice came from behind, "Besides, do we need a British guy like you to judge whether our alchemy class is professional?"

Kyle turned his head subconsciously and saw a few young boys behind them.

The one who was speaking and should be the leader, when he saw Kyle looking at him, he immediately raised his head and looked at him with an indignant look on his face.

But Kyle also noticed it, and he glanced in Gabrielle's direction from time to time.

"Jafar, what are you talking about? They are guests of Principal Maxim." Gabriel said angrily.

But this made the boy even more excited.

"What distinguished guests? Aren't they just two British guys?" the man said disdainfully. "Looking at their appearance, they must have just graduated. They must be afraid of that dark wizard, so they came to us for refuge. I've seen a lot of people like them."

But they were speaking in French, which Kyle couldn't understand.

"This plot is so old-fashioned, but it seems unavoidable," he muttered softly.

He could probably guess that this man was definitely Gabrielle's suitor, and he came here to show off his presence.

The opponent's face was close to him, should he fight? For example, when they went to the classroom together, he showed his superb alchemy ability and shocked the whole audience.

Kyle stroked his chin, hesitant.

Although this is not his territory, this scene is so classic that he always feels like he has missed something if he doesn't fight.

Unfortunately, just as he was hesitating, the bell rang.

"Jafar, go back and copy the Basic Alchemy Record thirty times, otherwise you won't have to take my class anymore."

Accompanied by a gentle voice, the boy who was quite stubborn just now suddenly wilted, and ran away without even making any excuses.

A middle-aged man walked out of the classroom.

"Professor Victor." Gabrielle called sweetly.

"Yeah." The middle-aged man nodded at her, "Have you finished your homework?"

"Can I hand it in tomorrow?" Gabrielle said with a bitter face, "You see, I don't have time this afternoon. Principal Maxim has given me a task."

"Tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Victor said, and he looked at Kyle and Connor again, "Who are you and why are you here?"

Kyle blinked.

He didn't understand what the professor said, but he guessed that Gabrielle introduced herself to him and said hello... Well, that should be right.

"Ah, hello too, nice to meet you." Kyle said in his awkward French.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Kanna covered her face with her hands, pretending not to notice Professor Victor's strange expression.
