The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

Actually, we deliberately ate less in the morning because we were afraid that eating too much during the competition would negatively impact our performance and make the competition unworthy.

And so, I arrived at the college cafeteria, and we each ordered the dishes we wanted to eat, and then began to enjoy them.

Actually, taking a break is fine, because there are many rest rooms in the Fifth Duel Arena. You can go back to rest after you've eaten your fill.

Anyway, not having classes feels really liberating and comfortable. After the assessments and exams this semester are over, I definitely want to choose to study independently.

Because the classes we usually attend are just too boring and tedious.

Just as we finished our meal very elegantly, for some reason... my eyelids started to feel very heavy.

However, it wasn't just me; Lila, sitting next to me, and Elena, sitting opposite me, also started to look drowsy.

Could it be that someone put sleeping pills in our food?

Strangely enough, it wasn't just me... even Lila, who had been very energetic, and Elena next to her started to look drowsy.

That's rather unlikely, because... I also noticed by chance that the students who had just come in to eat were starting to collapse one after another.

It seems someone has cast a very strange hypnotic spell on the entire cafeteria?

Soon after, Lila and Elena also slammed their heads on the table with a "thud".

It seems that the two of them can't hold on any longer.

Am I not the same...?

At this moment, my body began to feel weaker and weaker, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier. It seemed that even my use of magic to resist the power of this hypnotic spell was useless.

And just like that, without even realizing it, I fell asleep.

However, I don't know how long I slept. Anyway, my mind is blank now, and I slept quite comfortably.

However, at that moment, I felt as if someone was shaking my body violently while I was asleep.

"Who..."

Actually, I really dislike being disturbed while I sleep, especially since I slept so well this time.

"Ivy, Ivy, wake up! Don't sleep!"

At this point, the shaking became increasingly intense, and I was quickly jolted awake from my deep sleep.

"Ok?"

At that moment, I slowly opened my still heavy double eyelids, only to find that it was actually the student council president, Senior Becky, looking at me with a very frightened expression and asking.

"Senior Becky?"

I couldn't help but call her name softly, feeling a little strange, but the illusion around me made me feel uneasy.

Because everything around her was white and misty, as if a fog had risen.

What I find somewhat unbelievable is that the sky was clear and cloudless just a moment ago, so how did it suddenly become foggy, and even this place, which should be the cafeteria, is shrouded in thick fog?

It was as if it were not a natural phenomenon, but something man-made.

However, someone capable of creating such a massive fog of mystery must not be an ordinary person...

Perhaps?

As I pondered this, my eyes widened in surprise, because... at that moment, I suddenly thought of that old man who had given me a strange feeling.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Receiving an S-Rank Mission

"Huh? What exactly happened?"

I couldn't help but rub my heavy eyelids, but I was still incredibly sleepy.

If I could, I could just lie down and fall asleep instantly.

"Ivy, something terrible has happened! Wake up!"

"Oh no, what terrible thing has happened?"

When I heard someone say that something big had happened, I immediately perked up.

Just in case I was dreaming, I quickly slapped my cheeks hard, but I actually felt real pain, so it seems I am in reality now.

I quickly got up from my chair and stood up, only to find myself in a fairyland, surrounded by clouds and swirling physics.

If I hadn't hurt myself by slapping myself, I would have thought I was still dreaming.

"Let me explain."

At that moment, a tall and robust man emerged from the swirling mist not far away. Yes, he was undoubtedly the Vice Dean, Cabinfen.

"Vice Dean Cabinfen, teacher..."

"It's like this: due to negligence, some criminals accidentally infiltrated the academy and even impersonated academy students and the dean. The reason you were put to sleep is because some of them possess a secret treasure that can hypnotize an entire area—the Hypnotic Staff. And this fog, if I'm not mistaken, is the legendary super-level magic, the Heavenly Shadow Mist."

"It's actually a high-level magic..."

My heart skipped a beat, because if it was super-level magic, it meant that the people who came to attack the magic academy were definitely powerful individuals who had come prepared.

"Then why did they attack the magic academy? Do they have some ulterior motive?"

"If I'm not mistaken, their target should be the forbidden book in the library, which records a forbidden fire magic of a super-level magic called Nightmare Annihilation Flame Spirit Break. Although this forbidden book has been sealed in the library for thousands of years, it has always been well preserved. It wasn't until six years ago that I discovered the seal had broken, so I searched all over the world for capable students to find a way to repair it. Now, the news of the seal has somehow spread, which is why this attack has occurred. It seems I was careless after all."

At this moment, Vice Dean Cabinfen adjusted his small glasses and shook his head helplessly.

"So what should we do?"

That's actually the most important thing.

"Here are a few Awakening Pills that can temporarily suppress the hypnotic effect of the Hypnotic Staff, but it will only last for less than two hours. Ivy, you can choose the person you need to wake up. Just don't wake up Peach, everyone else is fine."

"Ah... I understand."

Actually, I already know that if Peach Demon King teacher gets involved in the battle, she will definitely turn the academy upside down and turn it into a pile of ruins. So, in order to reduce the cost of repairing the academy, Vice Dean Cabinfen wisely decided not to wake her up.

"I see."

As I spoke, I took the bottle of Revitalizing Pills and nodded in understanding.

“Very good. Then, Ivy and Becky, you two will be the leaders of the team. Lead the students or teachers chosen by Ivy to the Forbidden Library to stop those thugs. Well, this mission will be classified as S-rank.”

"What is S-rank? Uh... what is mission rank?"

I never expected that there would be any ranking system in the academy; it seems rather bizarre to me.

"S-rank is the highest mission level. As long as you complete it well, you'll have an extra recommendation letter when you go to college. Then, whatever job you want, people will be scrambling to get it for you."

At this moment, Senior Sister Becky quickly spoke up.

"I see... That's not bad. Although, even without this rush to get a gun... I feel like I'm quite popular, so I'm not really interested."

"Furthermore, the scholarship will increase each semester."

"Eh?!"

"Alright, let's act quickly. If they manage to take that forbidden super-level magic book, Nightmare Annihilation Heavenly Spirit Fire, from the Forbidden Arts Library, not only will the academy suffer, but the entire City of Allen and even the entire Kingdom of Allen could face a great disaster."

"Yes!"

“Very well, then I’ll go deal with that big shot who uses super-level magic first. Ivy, you should quickly choose your companions and head to the Forbidden Arts Library.”

"Ok, no problem."

After saying that, Vice Dean Cabinfen quickly ran out of the cafeteria.

Now, whom shall I wake?

Although I really want the student council president, Becky, to make the decision, how am I supposed to find people in this foggy place?

So, in that case...

Without saying a word, I took out two Awakening Pills and put them into the mouths of Lila and Elena, who were still asleep beside me.

I would say that these two are my most trusted "beloved students" in the academy, and also my two lovely harem members.

So waking them up would at least provide some help.

Well, both of them can move and cast magic, and they are already proficient in using intermediate-level magic, so their strength is undeniable.

I don't need to ask about Elena for now; logically speaking, she should wake up easily.

However... the biggest problem is still Lira.

Because once she falls into a deep sleep, she is very difficult to wake up.

Even if I gave her this Awakening Pill, it probably wouldn't be of much use.

"Lila, wake up."

At this moment, I shook Lila's body vigorously, hoping that I might be able to wake her up.

But I was wrong. I shook her for a long time, but she was still asleep and showed no sign of waking up.

Because of the time constraint, I had no choice but to use my ultimate move.

Without saying a word, and ignoring the concerns of student council president Becky, I directly kissed the blonde loli Lila on the lips.

"Well!"

Lila was instantly awakened, and then her eyes widened.
