The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Before long, Maggie was panting heavily and covered in sweat.

Meanwhile, Claire employed the kite-flying tactic Ryan had taught her. She advanced when the enemy retreated, and retreated when the enemy advanced, maintaining a safe distance from Maggie while constantly harassing her with fireballs.

After several rounds of fire, a large part of Maggie's uniform was burned off, while Claire only had a slight burn on the hem of her skirt.

The students on the playground were now in an uproar.

Those students, especially those of Ferrante citizenship, looked extremely unwell.

Even the most clueless person could see that it was only a matter of time before Claire won this match.

"How is this possible... Miss Maggie is the top student in our class. How could she be beaten so badly that she couldn't fight back at all?"

"Could it be that Claire is really the child of the devil?"

"That's right! It must be! Claire must have the filthy blood of a demon flowing through her veins!"

"devil......"

"But don't you guys think Claire is really cool?"

"And it's so beautiful..."

The different voices immediately attracted the students' attention, and the girl who spoke instinctively covered her mouth.

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the contest between Claire and Maggie came to an end.

Maggie's magic was nearly depleted, and the flames around her went out. She was panting heavily, unable to run any further. Claire raised her right leg and mercilessly kicked Maggie's carefully protected face, leaving a clear shoe print.

Maggie was kicked to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

Just as she was about to get up, Claire caught up with her, stepped on her right shoulder, and stomped her back to the ground.

He pointed his right index finger at her face.

"If you don't want your face burned, apologize to me! Apologize to Mentor Ryan!"

"Ha, ha... You want me to apologize? No way!"

A scorching fireball shot from Claire's fingertip, and at the same moment, Maggie also released a fireball, draining all the magic power in her body.

The two fireballs collided with a loud bang.

With the explosion occurring at such close range, neither Claire nor Maggie could have escaped unscathed.

The scorching heatwave threw the two of them off.

Just as the students screamed, thinking that the two women were about to be seriously injured, a chilling voice descended from above their heads.

"Holy Light Barrier!"

Subsequently, a light-attribute barrier enveloped the two, providing cushioning and a small amount of healing.

overhead.

Ryan, Victor, and several mentors slowly descended on the light boat.

Not long ago, a student took advantage of the chaos to run away and report the situation to the teachers.

Thanks to this student, they were able to arrive in time before things got worse.

White-bearded Victor looked at the potholed playground and the two dusty little girls in front of him, and trembled with anger.

Damaging the venue during class will result in a fine!

"It is a serious violation of the rules for students to engage in combat in the absence of their advisors!"

"You two, come with us to the Academic Affairs Office!"

------

Academic Affairs Office.

Several instructors who didn't have classes were whispering among themselves.

Claire and Maggie stood in the middle, Ryan sat to one side rubbing his chin, while Victor fidgeted nervously, his mind preoccupied with his meager salary.

"The students this year are of very poor quality. It's only been a short time since the start of the semester, and they're already fighting amongst themselves."

"If we wait two years, they'll grow up and might just burn the academy down!"

"They must be severely punished this time! If we don't teach these freshmen a lesson, they'll tear the roof off!"

The instructors who spoke up were probably fed up with their students during regular teaching sessions, and they just happened to be dealing with Claire and Maggie's situation, so they took it out on them.

"Professor Nina, please say something!"

Nina, whose name was called, straightened up and gently pushed up her glasses with her index finger: "After all, they are still young and have good magical talent, so it's normal for them to be a little hot-tempered... Fortunately, no one was killed."

"However, this is indeed a very serious incident that needs to be taken seriously. In particular, the two supervisors are the main persons responsible for this incident. I believe that the two supervisors must be dealt with appropriately."

No one present expected that Nina would point the finger directly at Ryan and Victor.

Ryan didn't care, but Victor, who was standing to the side, was completely taken aback after hearing it.

He could almost see the tempting banknotes in his pocket sprout wings and fly away.

“Professor Nina is right.”

The door to the disciplinary office was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with glasses and a refined appearance walked in.

He is the head of the first-year class, West.

A lightning-attribute mage with four magic circuits.

"Students are the hope of the college and the future of human civilization. Every student needs to be cared for."

Nina immediately stood up, while West walked straight over, sat in her chair, and crossed his legs.

“Claire and Maggie are freshmen, and they haven’t been here long, so it’s understandable that they don’t know the rules of the academy yet.” West’s eyes behind his glasses were very sharp as he slowly swept between Ryan and Victor.

"And you, as mentors, surely you are familiar with the academy's rules and regulations."

Ryan shrugged, while Victor shrank back.

The surrounding mentors all secretly swallowed hard, feeling anxious for them.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Victor opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, at least to keep his basic salary.

In the end, Victor couldn't think of anything to say, so he could only shrink himself even tighter.

It seems Victor has resigned himself to his fate.

This old man with the white beard has really suffered.

"It seems you have nothing more to say."

After West finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ryan, a smile playing on his lips, his tone becoming more playful.

"However, before announcing the punishment, I have something I want to ask you, Mentor Ryan."

"You clearly have your own class, so why did you bring Claire to audit Victor's class? Don't you know that it's against the rules for professors to audit each other's classes?"

"If you hadn't audited the class, this might never have happened in the first place."

"Don't you think you bear the main responsibility for this?"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the teaching affairs office was extremely tense.

Even the mentors watching the spectacle couldn't help but shudder, secretly thinking that Mentor Ryan was in for trouble.

Chapter Twelve: Happiness That Will Never Be Let Go

"I do not think so."

Ryan leaned back in his chair, spread his legs, and adopted a boss-like posture, staring directly at West without showing any intention of backing down.

The latter's eyebrows twitched, clearly showing some displeasure.

Good grief, you're an advisor who made a mistake and you're even more arrogant than me?

Who gave you the courage?

"Yes, I do have my own classes, but for some reason, I always encounter obstacles when applying for teaching resources."

"There are no regularly supplied magic stones, no teaching aids, and we can't even get permission to use the training grounds."

"The college's educational philosophy is to treat all students equally. However, since Claire enrolled, she has not enjoyed any of the benefits she is entitled to. Attending classes is only a last resort."

After hearing Ryan's words, West smiled contemptuously, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"Mentor Ryan, the academy's resources are also limited. How to use limited resources to achieve better teaching results is also an important indicator for the academy to evaluate mentors. After all, the Philosopher's Stone doesn't just fall from the sky."

"Also, have you considered that perhaps the reason you didn't get those things approved was due to your own shortcomings?"

Ryan didn't back down either, clearly intending to go head-to-head.

“I followed all the rules in applying for these things and the application process. I didn’t ask for anything extra. Most importantly, these resources are what I deserve.”

"As for why it wasn't approved, I think it might be because someone else, for some unspeakable reasons, secretly sabotaged it."

"What do you think?"

West: "..."

Ryan: "..."

The surrounding mentors seemed to see sparks of electricity flashing in the eyes of the two, and even the temperature seemed to drop.

Many people even had hair standing on end on their arms.

Victor stared wide-eyed at Ryan, desperately trying to signal him with his eyes.

Mentor Ryan!

Saying less won't kill anyone. Just admit defeat like I did and that's it!

He's the head of the grade!

Someone who can fine you half a year's salary with just one sentence!

Why are you arguing with him?

Unfortunately, Ryan completely ignored him, which made the white-bearded old man quite anxious.
