Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 3, The third day of school
The information given by the white disk is undoubtedly messy and confusing.

However, for Ritas, extracting useful information from a large amount of meaningless and useless information is his strength. After all, what he used to do was to sort out the history of various parts of the continent from a pile of ancient documents of unknown meaning.

So, after the first listen, he selected some words.

Earls College, the first day of school, Mercy, the girl running with bread in her mouth, etc.

It’s not that Ritas thinks that only this information is useful, or that he is only interested in this information. But these parts may be verifiable.

The next day was the first day of school, so Ritas, who had not originally planned to go to the auditorium, appeared there with the idea of verifying it.

Judging from the results obtained on this day, everything spoken by the voice of the white disc has basically become a reality.

so.
What on earth is this?
When it comes to tools that can predict the future, the first thing that comes to Ritas' mind is the book of prophecy.

Although this white disc doesn't look like a book at all, it is taboo to have preconceived notions when it comes to archaeology.

The gap between people of different times and civilizations is sometimes greater than the gap between humans and elves. It is not uncommon for artifacts that look very artistic to be later discovered to be ancient spittoons.

Apart from the book of prophecy, the only things Ritas could think of were oracles, the whispers of demons, and the like.

After all, all prophetic content is delivered in the form of female voices.

Among them, Ritas was more inclined to the former, because the whispers of the devil were said to lead the listener to depravity. But the sound of the disc clearly did not induce anything.

Although as an oracle, the female voice is somewhat too tasteless. But who can say for sure, the gods don't usually speak in this style?

Moreover, there is a more core issue.

That is, whether it is a book of prophecy or an oracle, do the words themselves have no meaning?
Those words had no direction or purpose. Therefore, if Ritas hadn't verified it out of curiosity, none of those words would have affected anyone.

“It’s hard to understand.”

Ritas pressed his fingers between his furrowed brows.

He felt that he couldn't understand the logic at all, maybe it was his own problem.

After all, he had never joined any church or believed in any god. Moreover, he had always scoffed at the so-called prophecies. Even for some prophecies that were believed to have come true, he only regarded them as the twisted interpretation and far-fetched interpretation of some people after a long time.

Just when Ritas was having a headache, suddenly, the white disc started to move on its own again.

Ritas quickly looked at the various clocks of all sizes in the room and saw that the current time was 0:5.

Whether the disk is started or not seems to have no direct connection with time?

Soon, the noisy female voice came from the raised disk in the center again.

"Oops! I think I shut down the computer yesterday without saving the game!"

"Never mind. I didn't play for long anyway so I just turned on the water and took a bath."

"Start again~"

"Hehehehehe. Big wife——"

"."

"Hmm? I can't skip it."

“Eh? Why is it from such a perspective? Who is this person? Why did he bump into Merci?”

“Could it be that those damn minotaurs have contaminated the first part too!?”

"No. This person looks familiar, oh yeah!"

The sound that once seemed to be about to explode gradually subsided.

"Isn't this the 'Iron Maiden'? I almost didn't recognize it after seeing so many remakes."

"So this is a randomly triggered Easter egg or something?"

"hiahiahiahia~ What a bad taste in design. They actually let the 'Iron Maiden' do this. If I had accidentally triggered this easter egg when I played for the first time, I might have been fooled."

"After all, it's inevitable to think that the guy who had a fateful encounter with the heroine at the beginning of the story and was still performing the petal cup is the protagonist. And who would have thought that the 'Iron Maiden' is so special in both appearance and personality."

"He's going to die miserably on the third day of school—"

"But this scene is really long. It's part of the fun that you can't skip it. Tsk, let's go take a shower first."

As the woman's voice gradually faded away, the white disc returned to its original state.

"."

In the silent night, Ritas remained motionless for a long time like a stone statue.

He is analyzing this "prophecy" in the way he is good at.

First of all, this lady, who I don’t know if she is a goddess or a prophet, has a very strange laugh.

Secondly, from the context, "Iron Maiden" should be referring to a person, and that person is undoubtedly him, Ritas.

Giving people nicknames like this is really childish and uneducated.
At last.

The third day of school, which is tomorrow
He seems to be dying?

The third day of the new term at Earls College.

At noon, standing on the podium in the Yew Fir Wood classroom was a young female substitute lecturer.

The substitute lecturer was in a bad mood and had a gloomy face almost the entire time. However, the six students from Yew Fir class knew that this was understandable and that the substitute lecturer was not targeting them.

After all, they had a tutor who had been on leave since the second day of school.

They were not clear about the college's rules, but they also knew that the college should not encourage such behavior.

Generally speaking, when a tutor is on leave, the tutor's assistant will take over the class. But Ritas' assistant has not yet arrived at the college.

Therefore, the college could not sit idly by and watch the freshmen stare blankly at an empty podium for two consecutive days, so they sent in a temporary substitute teacher.

The students had different thoughts about Ritas's behavior. Some of them had negative thoughts, such as "Ritas, a well-known genius in the academic world, looked down on them, the common students."

However, compared to Ritas, they were more curious about the tutor's assistant whom they had never met.

Who on earth could be so arrogant as to be more arrogant than Professor Ritas?

"Well, that's it for today's lesson. get out of class dismissed!"

After hurriedly finishing the day's lessons briefly according to the textbook, the substitute teacher announced the end of get out of class.

Although Earls College did not set a time limit for each class, the substitute teacher's perfunctory attitude was also obvious. "By the way, here are some documents that need to be handed over to Professor Elson. Who of you is willing to..."

Following the substitute teacher's words, the atmosphere in the classroom, which had been cheerful because of the end of get out of class, suddenly became silent.

The students of the Yew Fir School class all turned their eyes away, looking either out the window or at the ceiling and the ground.

"."

The substitute teacher didn't know why there seemed to be a deep gap between the students in this grade and their instructor just after the start of the school year.

Anyway, just when she was about to randomly select a student to run errands, a blue-haired student sitting in the front row raised his hand tremblingly.

"If I remember correctly, you should be student Mercy Finn. Then, I'll leave these documents to you. If you meet Professor Elson, remember to ask him not to be absent from work any more."

"Yes Yes!"

After standing up and walking up to the podium to take the document, Merci showed a subtle smile as if to cover up her embarrassment to the other students in the classroom who were confused and surprised.

In the afternoon, Merci, holding a stack of parchment in her arms, came to the residential area on the west side of the college.

The residential area of Earls College is composed of a large number of villas, which are roughly divided into three areas. Two of them are the living areas for students, and the remaining one is the living area for people related to the college.

Among the three areas, the residential area for college-related personnel is the largest and has the largest population.

Because, there are not many teachers in the college, but the total number of teachers in the college is quite large. In addition to teachers, other researchers, assistants and other miscellaneous people generally live in the third dormitory area.

This was the first time Mercy had come to the third dormitory area since the start of the school year. Standing in front of the large iron gate of the dormitory area, she looked at the endless dormitory area with villas and mansions standing side by side, which looked like a small city, and felt a little confused for a moment.

Where is Professor Ritas's house?

Fortunately, after Merci wandered in front of the gate for a while, she attracted the guard of the third dormitory area.

After confirming Merci's identity, the guard became enthusiastic.

"Oh! So you are Professor Ritas's student. Time flies so fast. I didn't expect that Professor Ritas is already a famous teacher now. The year he entered school seems like just yesterday."

The guard named Sayid couldn't help but sigh.

The guard was tall, dark-skinned, and had a shiny bald head. His face also looked like that of a weathered middle-aged mercenary.

Such a big man might be a little scary walking on the street, but he is just right as a doorman.

"Uh, sorry, young lady. I tend to get sentimental when I get older. Since you're looking for Professor Ritas, let's go directly to his mansion. Other people's mansions may not be easy to find, but Professor Ritas's mansion has a clear sign."

Sayid said, pointing in a direction in the area.
"That's the mansion with the guillotine in the yard over there."

"?"

"The guillotine was first used in 793 of the Continental Calendar. Hahahaha, I've memorized it by heart because I always listen to Professor Ritas' explanations. By the way, although the guillotine no longer has a sharp blade, don't stick your head in it. It can be very troublesome if you accidentally get stuck in the yoke."

The security guard Said put his hands on his hips and showed a hearty smile.

"I will pay attention."

Who would put their head into the guillotine for no reason?

After saying goodbye to the guard, Merci walked into the third dormitory area and shouted in her heart.

All I can say is that life is hard. Even the girl who bumps into people while holding a piece of bread in her mouth needs to be responsible for complaining.

Not long after walking in the third dormitory area, Merci found what was suspected to be Ritas's house.

Well, it's not a suspicion at all. You may not be able to find a second mansion with a guillotine in the yard in the whole country.

For a qualified house, a beautiful and grand courtyard is essential.

The garden of Ritas was obviously carefully designed, and it was also regularly maintained and cared for.

The flower beds on both sides of the road were densely blooming with blue and purple flowers, and the bushes around the flower beds were also flat and dense.

Everything looks beautiful except the towering guillotine.
The blade of the guillotine had been removed and replaced with a fake blade made of a translucent material that looked very light. But even so, Merci had no desire to stick her head in to feel it.

She was curious about how naughty a person must be to use the guillotine for fun. She just looked at the dark hole of the wooden yoke and felt as if her soul was being sucked away.

Standing in front of the large iron gate at the outermost edge of the courtyard, Merci saw a small wooden platform next to the gate, and on the wooden platform there was a small bell with the words "Please ring" written next to it.

Merci suddenly became inexplicably nervous. She took a few deep breaths and rang the small bell a few times.

The small bell, which seemed to be a magic item, made a crisp sound far beyond its size. However, the bell echoed for a long time, but there was no response from the mansion.

"The professor is not here."

After ringing the bell a few more times while muttering to herself, Mercy scratched her cheek with her hand.

It was obviously not appropriate to leave the school documents outside the gate, and there was no mailbox or anything like that outside the mansion. If it was really impossible, I could only ask the previous guard to hand it over.

Just as Merci turned around and was about to leave, there was a sudden "creak" sound behind her.

Looking back, Merci discovered that there was an obvious gap in the center of the double iron doors.

"what?"

Wasn't this iron door locked before?
Merci felt a little strange, but didn't take it too seriously.

"excuse me"

Merci spoke softly, not daring to push the iron gate hard. She just made a gap just enough for her to pass through and then she got into the courtyard.

When she reached the front door of the mansion, Mercy intended to place the parchment in her hand in front of the door or stuff it into the crack of the door.

Just as the courtyard door suddenly opened before, the main door of the mansion also suddenly opened.

"This is."

Merci, who had already realized something was wrong, froze.

Looking up, Merci saw a black-haired young man standing in the dim mansion, half of his body covered in shadow.
"Professor Ritas?" "It's you?"

Mercy's voice and that of Ritas, whose face was dark and scary, sounded almost simultaneously.

Before their voices had completely died down, two sharp rays of light flashed from the lower side of Merci's body.

There was no time to react at all, and the sharp blade suddenly hit Ritas' heart.
