This young man was named Jun Xie, but unlike his name, he was the furthest thing away from an evil monarch.
This was a young man with a very normal bowl haircut and a large pair of rimmed glasses which made him look like someone that most people ignored.
However, this young man was also a student of the Royal Academy, the number one academy in the capital.
He was someone that was from a very rich merchant family that had bought their way into getting him admitted into the academy.
The problem with that was that he didn't have the talent to stay in the academy at all, so he was close to flunking out. If he didn't pass the next exam, it would be certain that he would be kicked out.
So he had tried looking for many different ways to increase his own strength to pass this exam. It was just too bad that even with money, he couldn't buy talent. So he wasn't able to make himself stronger and had no choice but to rely on pets.
