Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 312 The White Doves Above

"So, Millie, are you still going to the Cross Hall today? Roland won't be around for a while, so let's skip the classes we need to skip!"

In the early morning, watching Millie, who was all ready and planning to go to her swordsmanship training that day, the bath goddess, who didn't act like a grown-up at all, kept urging her on.

"Hahaha. Today is the day for the practical exercise, and it was decided a long time ago. So tomorrow, I will definitely accompany Sister Yu to explore the surrounding area."

Millie patiently coaxed the bath goddess.

Just as the goddess of bathing had said, Roland had returned to the border three days ago due to some urgent matters.

This doesn't mean that Millie no longer values ​​the guidance of other Elson-style sword masters besides the Sword Saint. Therefore, she can skip the follow-up without any burden.

Rather, she also felt that something might actually happen during the time Roland was away from the Elson mansion.

Unlike the witch who offered no resistance and the shadow of black mist whose strength was beyond the reach of common sense, the previous bird-beaked monster was relatively weak.

Even though there were many coincidences at the time, and the three of them tried their best, they only managed to buy a little time.

But Millie felt that the beaked monster was not invincible.

At least, based on what she had learned recently, that monster was definitely no match for Sword Saint Roland.

Therefore, the reason this world seems to have stagnated is likely because the bird-beaked monster fears Roland's existence and dares not trigger the subsequent events.

"Perfect timing, we can observe today's live-fire exercise. If Sister Yu is interested, she can come and take a look too."

It was precisely because of those concerns that Millie, who was not entirely at ease letting the Goddess of Bath act alone, extended an invitation.

Thinking that she had nothing to do but idly stay at the Elson mansion, the goddess of bathing nodded in agreement.

On the way to the Hall of the Cross, since their rooms were relatively close together, the Goddess of Bath and Millie met up with Little Ritas.

Perhaps because he had been studying Sofia's notes during this period, Little Ritas looked more haggard than before, swaying unsteadily as if he might collapse at any moment.

The fact that Little Ritas could actually concentrate on reading this was astonishing to both the Goddess of Bath and Millie, even knowing his future achievements.

After all, even if Roland said it might be helpful to Little Ritas, Sophia wasn't actually writing those notes to compile textbooks or anything like that. As a legendary mage, she wouldn't leave behind any low-level knowledge.

If Millie and the Goddess of Bath hadn't been completely unable to understand it, they would have really wanted to know what the famous "Witch's Disciple" had been researching all along.

"Didn't you get a proper rest yesterday?"

Seeing that Little Ritas was in extremely poor condition, Millie frowned and asked.

Little Ritas, who only gave a vague "hmm," was immediately lectured by Millie.

Although they are the same age, and although Little Ritas doesn't use the term "teacher" at Millie's insistence.

But Little Ritas, who was learning magic from Millie, naturally felt much inferior to Millie in terms of mentality.

So, faced with Millie's lecture, he just lowered his head and obediently said, "You're right, I understand, but I won't do it."

Looking at Little Ritas's youthful face, with the dark circles under his eyes still gradually expanding, Millie, still a student in the elementary division of the magic academy, finally understood which type of student was more difficult to deal with than the rebellious troublemakers who openly defied the teachers.

"You're in such bad shape, Professor, you're going to lose to Xia Luoluo today."

After letting out a slightly helpless sigh, Millie shook her head and said...

The so-called practical exercise was, in effect, an exam within the Cross Hall. Moreover, the Cross Hall employed a brutal bottom-ranking elimination system. And those who managed to secure the bottom spot in the elite-filled Cross Hall were, of course, the Elson siblings, who had entered through connections.

"I never intended to win."

Little Ritas said nonchalantly.

If he finds an excuse to be abandoned by the Cross Hall sooner, he can spend his time on things that are more suitable for him.

However, upon hearing that their opponent was Xia Luoluo, the Bathing Goddess's side became quite excited.

"What? Xiao Li, you can't even beat that Xia Luoluo anymore!?"

"."

When the goddess of bathing pointed it out so clearly, Little Ritas, who hadn't minded much before, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Losing to others doesn't matter, the main thing is Xia Luoluo.
"Even if they're weak, it shouldn't be that bad."

As the goddess of bathing spoke, she circled Little Ritas twice, then rubbed her chin with her fingers.

"Little Li, it's time to use 'Freedom Magic'!"

".ha?"

If Little Ritas "accepted" one of the two magic teachers who appeared out of nowhere, he "questioned" the other.

Even now, he still doesn't quite understand the goddess of bathing.

"Even if that kind of magic is my future 'label,' I'm still unable to cast it after only a few months of learning it."

Little Ritas shook his head, clearly facing his own weaknesses and shortcomings.

"Tch tch tch, that's you limiting yourself, Xiao Li."

The goddess of bathing shook her finger.

"The teacher who will teach you magic in the future is an extremely powerful being. So powerful that she might actually have the ability to destroy the entire world on her own. Moreover, that person's personality is truly unscrupulous; there's basically nothing she wouldn't dare to do. However, in my opinion, even her magic can't be considered 'unrestrained'."

As the goddess of bathing spoke, she looked intently at Little Ritas.

"On the contrary, a certain professor's magic. Perhaps it is not on a large scale, nor is it particularly exaggerated. Most of the time, it is just slightly enhancing some basic bodily functions at any time to make himself not crippled. Then, he might casually cast some barely perceptible water elemental magic on his dry eyes. But, the feeling he gives people is that he really uses magic at will. Magic seems to have become a part of his entire 'person'."

At this point, the goddess of bathing patted little Ritas on the shoulder.

"So, don't overthink it, Little Li. If you truly believe that magic has infinite possibilities, and that ultimate magic can make your wishes come true, then don't be bound by preconceived notions. And don't think that being able to unleash magic like fireworks anytime, anywhere is the embodiment of 'freedom.' Put yourself at the center. Rather than using your outstanding talents to create or change something, use them to make your life more comfortable first."

Hearing the words of the goddess of bathing, Little Ritas fell into a brief silence.

Although this is a completely irresponsible statement, it undoubtedly inspired Little Ritas.

It is precisely because of this that such a situation occurs only occasionally, very occasionally.

Therefore, Ritas the Younger's feelings toward the goddess of the bath were particularly complex.

Aside from initially serving a somewhat "translating" role, now that a complete conversion system has been established in Little Ritas's mind, the cheap magic teacher, the Bath Goddess, is basically of no help whatsoever.

"Ah."

Even so, Little Ritas seemed to have no choice but to admit that the Goddess of Bath was also one of his magic teachers. At noon, the Goddess of Bath, Millie, and Little Ritas arrived at the Cross Hall on time.

The advantage of traveling with Little Ritas is that you don't have to worry about being late. The disadvantage is that you also won't arrive early.

From afar, the three spotted Charlotte, Little Ritas's training opponent for the day.

On this day, Charlotte had a white bird perched on her head.

"What is that silly child doing now?"

The goddess of bathing asked, somewhat speechlessly.

After spending time together, the goddess of the bath had developed strange feelings for Xia Luoluo.

She remains the same adopted sister who is always targeting Ritas.

However, her daily interactions with Little Ritas were completely different from what the Bathing Goddess and Millie had imagined.

Her intention to cause trouble for little Ritas was obvious to anyone with eyes. However, that was about it.

It's unclear whether Xia Luoluo is actually very sensible or genuinely frail to an unbelievable degree. Almost every attempt she makes to trick Little Ritas ends in failure. Sometimes, it even bounces back and hits her own back like a boomerang.

Furthermore, Xia Luoluo did not utter those same harsh words again during the argument in the small garden.

Even if they suffer a loss because of their own actions, they always leave behind lines like "You wait," "I'll settle the score with you next time," and "It's all your fault," like a small fry, and then run away in tears.

It was during this time that the Goddess of Bath realized that Ritas's statement that "he was not doing badly in the Elson family" might not have been just a facade.

But that time in the small garden left a very deep impression on her.
"That's the Gugu I mentioned."

At Little Ritas's prompting, the Bath Goddess and Millie gave him an "Oh" look.

Of all the mischief Xia Luoluo pulled off, the "Gu Gu Incident" was one of the more ruthless.

At the time, Charlotte, who had recently become enemies with Little Ritas, was eager to teach him a lesson. So, she somehow found out that the best way to teach her enemy a lesson was to throw rotten eggs at him.

When it came to preparing the rotten eggs, Xia Luoluo felt that the eggs were too small and that larger ones should be used. So, she chose Gugu eggs.

Next, she encountered a problem: the egg she had was fresh and didn't smell bad.

How to do?
Xia Luoluo inquired further and concluded that eggs spoil if left out in the cold. So, from that day on, she kept eggs in her bed every day.

Two weeks later...
Little Ritas said he would probably never forget the scene of Charlotte holding a cracked egg, listening to the chirping sounds coming from inside, and crying helplessly.

The goddess of the bath and Millie will probably never forget the feeling they had when they couldn't help but lift their foreheads after hearing such a strange tale.

Although Millie was also chased and beaten by wild geese when she was a child, she still felt that Charlotte was more outrageous.

Just as the three were pointing and whispering about Xia Luoluo and her "biological" daughter, Gu Gu, who seemed to be mistaking her head for a bird's nest, Xia Luoluo noticed their arrival and walked over.

After exchanging normal greetings with Millie and the Goddess of Bath, Charlotte stood with her hands on her hips in front of Little Ritas.

Although the reason for this situation is quite unique, physically speaking, Ritas and Charlotte, the adopted siblings, are still quite close.

"Hmph, the day has finally come! Today is the day to settle the score and settle the score with 'Chenniang's Yuan Nian'!"

"Accumulated resentment?"

Little Ritas asked, not entirely sure either.

"Anyway, you just need to wash up and wait!"

Xia Luoluo blushed and almost bit her tongue as she finished her harsh words and headed towards the training ground.

As if demonstrating her "power" to Ritas, who had his back turned, she raised her fists high above her head. And the gugu on her head also made a wing-spreading motion.

"." "." "."

After a moment of silence.

Little Ritas, who was used to it, didn't have any particular feelings.

But the goddess of the bath and Millie locked eyes and seemed to have discovered something.

When Little Ritas also walked into the training hall, the two began to whisper to each other.

"Sister Yu, have you noticed it too?"

"Also? Could it be that Millie, you noticed it too?"

"That GuGu is strange." "Turns out GuGu looks a lot like a white dove!"

".""Well"

The two, who were "in sync" just a second ago, became Millie looking at the bath goddess with her eyes slightly narrowed the next second.

"Cough, tell me first, where is that Valley Monster? But don't tell me its name or anything."

The goddess of the bath coughed lightly, her face stern, and said, "Xia Luoluo's beloved bird has a resounding name that she personally gave it, 'Xin Xin'."

"Since I don't know Gu Gu's habits very well, I can't say for sure. But normally, birds shouldn't stare at a person for a long time, right?"

Because she was unsure, Millie hoped to share the same opinion as the goddess of bathing.

Unexpectedly, the Bathing Goddess is a "major discovery" at a child-level.

"Huh? Was that bird staring at us the whole time?"

"Um"

Millie nodded, then her expression turned somewhat serious.
"It kept staring at the young professor. It wasn't until Charlotte turned and left that its gaze was forced to look away."

Since Gugu is basically a bird, its eyes are located on the sides of its head. Therefore, this detail is not so easy to notice.

Millie actually connected the previous scene to many other things.

However, she herself felt that all her guesses were a bit too far-fetched, so she did not say them aloud.

"It's amazing that you noticed that. We could have just asked Xiaoli later and found out. He has a lot of strange trivia. I think my discovery is more worthy of further investigation."

Seeing Millie's eyelids drooping again, the Goddess of Bath realized where the problem lay.
"Oh, so you're not familiar with 'White Dove,' you probably haven't seen it many times. To put it simply, I'm referring to that 'White Dove' that looked like a grain of rice earlier."

"Actually, it's a 'person's name'."
