Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 301 Professor Sumer

it's over.
The moment she noticed the red sunset, aside from her instinctive struggle, the only thought that surfaced in the goddess of the bath was this one sentence.

Seeing the middle-aged butler, who exuded the aura of a master, also killed by the shadow of black mist with a single sword strike, the goddess of the bath felt an even stronger urge to give up.

Fortunately, just as Millie had described, while the feeling of being killed by the Shadow of Black Mist was extremely terrifying, the pain was minimal.
Anyway, it seems we've gathered quite a bit of information this time, so let's just leave it at that.
"Sister Yu! There's still something you can do!"

Just as the goddess of the bath was about to close her eyes, Millie's voice made her head buzz.

The sound startled the goddess of bathing as if she were awakening from a dream.

Nearly a year has passed since I connected to the other world.

And the nickname "Bath Goddess" given to Ritas, which was probably maliciously chosen, has become increasingly well-known.

However, Millie is currently the only person in the entire world who calls her "Sister Bath".

The goddess of bathing didn't know why she suddenly thought of such a thing.

But her body didn't seem quite like her own; it gradually began to move.

Seemingly stunned by the sudden murder of the middle-aged butler, the two soldiers who had captured the Bath Goddess and Millie were left in a daze.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Millie broke free and then nimbly rolled on the ground to pick up the sword that the middle-aged butler had dropped.

Another flash of sword light, and two more soldiers were reduced to scattered pieces on the ground.

At the same moment, Millie drew her sword and faced the shadow of the black mist head-on.

That was an opponent that could not be defeated.

Even in the eyes of the Bathing Goddess, the Shadow of the Black Mist might not even qualify as an "opponent." It's simply a forced mechanism that traps the world in a cycle of reincarnation.

However, Millie remained unyielding and stood in front of the other party.

All this was to buy the goddess of the bathing some precious few seconds.

She practically tumbled and crawled to her feet, and the bath goddess, who was initially a little unsteady on her feet, started running quickly.

She escaped, but she fled in the direction of the training ground.

Running with abandon, the goddess of the bath only felt tears streaming down her face.

Apart from the sharp whistling of the sword cutting through space, there was no sound behind her.

Millie must have already been murdered.

This has absolutely nothing to do with things like resurrection after possessing the golden apple.

Only the goddess of the bath, who had already despaired when she saw the arrival of the crimson twilight, could truly understand how much courage Millie's actions contained.

Since the result is the same, the process doesn't matter?
No. We absolutely cannot allow this to happen.
The goddess of the bath, who had been rushing along without looking back, quickly returned to the location of the training ground.

Without the two soldiers guarding her, the Bathing Goddess entered the center of the arena unimpeded.

Looking around, all you could see was yellow sand.

The goddess of the bath was as if she were lost in the desert. Due to fear, tension and other emotions, her vision was narrowed, and she could see almost nothing.

So she took a deep breath.

"Little Ritas Elson! Where are you?! It's always like this! Your student and goddess are at a crucial moment like this, and where are you?!!"

The goddess of bathing, who used to be quite reserved when communicating with others through the disc, suddenly unleashed a deafening roar.

The roar, which echoed throughout the vast training ground, must have reached the ears of everyone around.

"Talking about the future is no good. Because this is the past world, talking about those things will only make him feel confused and that it has nothing to do with him."

It was a sudden voice that rang directly in the mind of the goddess of bathing.

The goddess of bathing couldn't distinguish whether it was someone else's voice or her own, nor did she have time to consider such things.

After gathering her strength once more, the Goddess of Bath roared again.
“Little Li! Because we’ve always been together, I know that among your adoptive parents, even though that woman called ‘Black Widow’ is the worst, the most awful, and the most wicked, you actually quite like her, don’t you!”

"Because she promised you that she would never leave you! Even knowing she was lying! But you also had expectations, just as she said, that all the bad things she did were to create a happy home for you!"

"It was only after she died that you started to hate the feeling of closing your eyes! Not only did you not want to sleep, but even blinking became unbearable, right!"

"Then what's the use of glaring so wide now! In the end, you'll still miss what you're meant to miss! You'll still be forced to watch helplessly as the people most important to you, yes, us, are killed without any chance of resistance and left you forever, won't you!"

Although she didn't turn back, the goddess of bathing understood.

The shadowy black mist was already behind her, and the fierce sword light would strike her in the next moment.

But it was at this very moment that the goddess of bathing also saw it.

At the edge of the training ground, the second-floor window of a building resembling an office building was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

From that window, the black-haired boy, who hadn't yet encountered magic and therefore couldn't constantly control his emotions, leaned out and glared angrily at the Bathing Goddess who had suddenly rushed into the training ground and was spouting nonsense at a volume loud enough for everyone to hear.

Where did this lunatic come from?

Judging from his lip movements, the goddess of the bath thought the black-haired boy must have said something like this.

However, she had no way of verifying it. Because the scene before her eyes was already "out of place".

Although, there is no time left in this playthrough.

Although, it only confirmed where the other party was.

Although simply finding him will most likely not help the current situation.

Although he has not yet grown into the persona we remember, he is not omnipotent.

But the moment she saw that familiar figure, the goddess of the bath was enveloped in a sense of peace.

If resolving this sudden anomaly is a marathon, then at least she has now found where the starting line is.

Furthermore, Millie's "process" is fully meaningful.
Unlike the despair she felt when she died before, the goddess of bathing gradually faded away in a state of hope.

It was mid-December.

Erles Higher Magic Academy has entered its winter break.

Because the winter break is a full 100 days long, and the important Chinese New Year is approaching, most of Erles' students choose to return to their hometowns during the holiday.

Because so much has happened in the past two semesters, it's uncertain how many students will choose to return after the holidays.

At this time of year, Professor Ritas Elson, the class advisor of the Yewwood Class, was looking at the pile of exam papers on his desk with a sense of dread, as if experiencing a recurring, fixed event.

"Hey, Little Li, what are you still doing here? Did the kids do badly on their tests again? You should be used to it by now."

The goddess of bathing, full of energy, arrived in this world early that day.

"Actually, their results this time were not bad."

No matter how confused he was about his students, wondering why they couldn't even answer such a simple question, Ritas always told others, "They're alright, they're fine."

"Although the overall grades haven't changed much compared to the midterm, the average ranking has improved because students in other grades didn't perform well," Ritas said objectively.

As for the reason why Earls' students generally performed poorly this time...
Looking out the office window, Ritas could see the golden World Tree space at a glance.

Regardless of whether there is any real impact, it makes it easier for students to find excuses.

The school is such a horrible place! It would be a miracle if anyone could concentrate on studying!

"In comparison, our students' mental fortitude is quite high."

"."

So, exactly when did our students become "our" students?
Ritas couldn't quite understand it, but he was too lazy to dwell on it.

Unlike other classes, which were in constant turmoil, the Yewwood class was unusually peaceful after the college exchange meeting.

It's not that the students of the Purplewood Class have few problems or don't need to be worried about. Rather, they all have their own issues, giving the impression that "wartime" is the norm.

For example, Miriam, although attacked by soul magic in this incident, also found a peculiar sword. He also has close ties to the "Holy King's Church," which Livis forcibly shifted the blame onto.
But are these things a big deal for Miriam?
It's not like I picked up a dozen female seniors and brought them back to my dorm. These experiences are probably not as dangerous as the "Dark Four Kings of Ers" incident.

Although, his emotions are somewhat abnormal at the moment.

But I imagine he'll be lively and energetic again after the winter break.

Take, for example, Melcy.

Although her Star Pattern ability nearly went berserk again during this incident, the level of her Star Pattern power is rapidly spiraling upwards. Furthermore, her Star Pattern itself seems rather special, perhaps containing elements of the "primordial" or something similar.

But overall, it's still small.
Okay, this is a big issue that deserves our attention.

Ritas couldn't help but rub his forehead.

As for the other people, Grenville had it much easier.

From the moment I enrolled, my eyes have always been so clear, innocent, and naive.

He didn't stay at the academy during the holidays to cause trouble for others, and returned to the hometown of the "Crimson Meteor" mercenary group.

Elise is in a similar situation to Grenville. Nothing particularly noteworthy happens to her, and just like in the "Star Emblem" game, she spends most of her time outside the "main character" category.

It was Elise's enthusiasm during this time that made Ritas slightly...
So he just hoped that after the winter break, Ellie would be able to calm down in the next semester.

As for Sylvie, she doesn't have many problems within the academy. However, there are still many things to be concerned about regarding her family, the Latras family.

Although it is actually the "Star People" who have established a close connection with Ritas, it would be very difficult for them to sever their ties with the Latras family.

Similarly, as the relationship between the two sides grows closer, sooner or later Sylvie will also be involved in these matters.

"The Latras family."

If Sylvie hadn't discussed those matters with Ritas in their "separate lessons," Ritas would now be trying to use his influence to sever Sylvie's ties with the Latras family and make her a pure student.

Apart from these initial members of the Yewwood Class.

There's nothing to worry about with Boudica.

She wasn't positioned as an ordinary student, so she wouldn't cause Ritas any trouble.

As for the Elf Guard, they didn't get any trouble from Livis.

Generally speaking, unless there are obvious signs of "opposition", the Tree Witch will not bother with "minor characters".

Meanwhile, Crawford is giving Ritas a bit of a headache.

Unlike the anxieties of students like Miriam that transcended common sense, Crafoord grappled with a very mundane kind of trouble.

家族
All I can say is that the Schneize family, to which Kraft belongs, is far too "normal".

Therefore, Craft was worried that after returning home for winter break, his family would not allow him to study in Earls again. This caused him to perform somewhat poorly on his final exams.

The tricky part is that Ritas believes the Schneize family's approach is truly correct.
Why come to this academy where things are either exploding or about to explode all the time to hone your survival skills when you have other options?
The last thing is Xia Lu.

Xia Lu is currently still in the academy's treatment center.

It wasn't that her injuries were so severe that she hadn't fully recovered after more than a month in the hospital; rather, she chose to "stay" there.

To some extent, the events that Charlotte caused truly proved that Ritas was not omniscient.

Ritas, who had no idea what had happened between the Laune siblings, was even less able to understand why Fernandez of the Elson family was also involved.

Crucially, Charlotte was very tight-lipped. Ritas asked her several times, but didn't get much useful information.

Not to mention Xia Lu's "Silver Dragon Adventure Team".

Not long after the guild leader was confirmed "officially missing," the young guild leader rebelled and went astray, "running away from home" with bad guys. This left the adventure group, led by the "ugly elf," in a complete mess during this period.

"Sigh, let's deal with some immediate issues first."

Ritas, who had thought that he could use the exchange meeting to ignite all the problems in the academy and then solve them once and for all, sighed and stood up.

"Hmm? Xiao Li, you've finished your long deliberations? Where shall we go next?"

"I don't have time to play, I need to pick him up. He'll be taking a position at the college starting next semester."

Ritas said with a helpless expression.

Clearly, the person he was about to receive was someone even he was somewhat powerless to help.

"Ugh~ It's a holiday, but I still have to worry about this and that. Now is the time to play!"

"Speaking of which, is the Goddess of Bathing on holiday too?"

".Well."

"."

As Ritas remained silent, the dreamlike memories began to fade away.

In her daze, the goddess of bathing tried desperately to recall who Ritas had met next.

What she recalled was a white-haired woman dressed in elegant and luxurious attire.

Looking at the woman, Ritas revealed a rare, complex expression.

"You are 'sir'."

"no''."

In the goddess's memory, the white-haired woman shook her head, then continued expressionlessly,
“From now on, I will be working at Earls. Professor Sora Sommel.”

Sorasumer.

Sorasoo.
"Susola!!!"

In an unfamiliar space, a girl in a little dress woke up shouting the name of "Pioneer".
