However, Muggles without magical powers cannot comprehend them. Some choose to believe what they haven't witnessed firsthand, while many others, guided by positivist thought, choose not to. Therefore, those stories ultimately become myths in people's minds, rather than history.
But the magician knew the truth behind those myths: Hercules was actually a member of the ancient Thunder family of the Mediterranean region, a family renowned for their mastery of lightning magic, a branch of air magic. And Zeus, Hercules's biological father in the myths, was actually the name of the successive heads of the Thunder family.
As for the various monsters in the Twelve Trials, such as the Nemea Lion, the Hydra, the Red Doe, the Erymanthos Boar, the herd of cattle from Augeas, the Stymphalusian Bird, the Cretan Bull, etc., these were actually monsters created by families that were enemies of the Sandel family.
The more powerful monsters, such as Leviathan, Behemoth, and the Hundred-Handed Giant, which are even said to possess divine qualities in legends, were actually created by magicians and the Church over thousands of years of mutual attacks.
If we were to explain them using later arcane arts and even later science, they would be biological weapons created by magicians and the papacy at the time by exploiting loopholes in the laws of magic.
Among them, practical magicians have long been committed to the research of biomimicry, and their most outstanding achievement, or rather, the achievement that can be mass-produced, is all kinds of bizarre chimera synthetic beasts.
As the mortal enemies of magicians, the Vatican also has its own exclusive biological weapons, the two most typical and famous series being angels and demons.
It's important to note that while angels and demons may seem like mortal enemies to Muggles, they are actually part of a larger, covert operation orchestrated by the Papacy. Angels are responsible for maintaining the Papacy's righteous and sacred image, while demons are used to carry out underhanded schemes and frame magicians.
In Matthew chapter 4, the Messiah even explicitly tells believers that Satan is also a servant of God. Although the Vatican's intention was to use the story to teach people not to doubt the Lord.
But why did these biological weapons disappear later? Some say it was due to environmental degradation, the development of human technology, and increased pollution that destroyed their living space.
However, the most fundamental reason is the change in the laws of the world. These powerful biological weapons, unable to adapt to the new laws, gradually faded from the stage of history. Just like the Elves, after the war against Sauron ten thousand years ago, faced with the change in the laws of the European continent, they had no choice but to withdraw.
Could the Koro-sensei before us be a new type of demon created using remnants of magic technology combined with the technology of this world? After all, among the demon army, the tentacle demons have always been the most infamous.
Much of its notoriety stems from its immense harm to female magicians.
If Simo were to illustrate this vividly, he would use a setting from an anime he watched last week: when a tentacle demon, as a Champion-level Digimon, encounters a Rookie-level Digimon magical girl or a Champion-level Digimon witch, it possesses a natural aura of power, increasing its maximum destructive force by 300%.
However, we cannot rule out the possibility that Koro-sensei is related to a magician who has never appeared in this world.
It's well known that the Tentacle Demon is an extremely hated monster. It once provided countless magicians with a free hat. Later, the magicians, unable to tolerate it any longer, spent a huge amount of money to crack the Church's manufacturing process, thus developing a new type of tentacle monster—the Evil Eye (Beholder, Evileye).
Then the young and ambitious magicians used the newly created monsters to fight back against the nuns and saints of the Holy See, and because of the multiple eyes of the Evil Eye, it also came with a live recording function similar to the modern Internet.
This resulted in some unfortunate saintesses being "forced" to become "internet celebrities" in the classical era, which caused a huge uproar and fury within the knightly orders of the Papacy. Consequently, during a certain historical period, the number of saintesses and witches decreased sharply, the number of battles between magicians and knights increased dramatically, and the birth rate of newborns in the magical world dropped rapidly.
Finally, when both sides were on the verge of mutual destruction, the highest levels of both sides had to reach a series of agreements, or rather compromises, such as the "Commitment Not to Be the First to Use Tentacles in Non-War Periods"; the "Agreement on Prohibiting the Proliferation of Tentacles"; and the "Convention on Banning the Illegal Farming of Tentacles," etc.
However, out of consideration for the development of young wizards, and more importantly, to maintain the lofty image of ancient wizards in the minds of younger students (Professor Verne's words), the Ministry of Magic intentionally requires that these things be avoided in the review of Hogwarts' curriculum.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Seamus was going to another world, Professor Verne wouldn't have mentioned these topics in the special instruction course and asked Seamus to be especially careful and vigilant at all times.
Otherwise, if you accidentally sign a contract with tentacles and become a magical girl or something, that would be a lot of trouble.
The thought that Louise might laugh at him for the rest of his life made Mr. Seamus shudder, and then he glanced at Koro-sensei again.
While it's somewhat uncertain whether the technology used to create Koro-sensei originated from the Holy See or from magicians, one thing Saimo knows is that the very existence of Koro-sensei is worthy of investigation.
Of course, the premise is to pay attention to your own safety!
Meanwhile, the argument between Karasuma and Chairman Asano became increasingly heated.
"I disagree!"
Karasuma Tadashi loudly told Chairman Asano, "It's already the second semester, and the students in Class E have improved a lot. At this point, there's no reason to involve ordinary people."
There's one thing Karasuma didn't make clear: it's already the second semester, and if someone joins midway, he won't have enough time to quickly bring an average student to the level of a Class E student. And if they can't catch up with the other students quickly, they'll only become a burden to them!
"However, sending unqualified students to special intensive classes has always been a tradition of our school. Removing harmful dead leaves in time is to protect the sapling. And isolating those bad apples who willingly degenerate is to be responsible for all students in the school."
As the person in charge of the school, Chairman Asano has always been arrogant and self-important, so he explicitly demanded that Karasuma act in accordance with the school's rules. At the same time, Chairman Asano also pointed out: "Haven't there been cases of transfer students joining Class E midway through the school year before? I remember one was named Ritsu and the other was named Horibe Ei."
“This is different.” The chairman’s words clearly failed to convince Karasuma. Ritsu was a mechanical life form with super artificial intelligence, while Horibe had been transplanted with tentacles, making them both formidable fighters.
But what about this guy now?
Karasuma glanced at Shimo out of the corner of his eye and saw him sitting calmly opposite Koro-sensei, drinking tea.
Just one glance at Karasuma reveals that Shimo has no distinguishing features. His soft muscles don't look like he's trained at all. He's just an ordinary person!
Furthermore, judging from the enrollment information for Simo provided by the chairman, it was too clean! It was also too strange!
A child from an ordinary Italian family traveled to Japan with his parents, but fell in love with Japanese anime, comics, and games (ACG) culture, had a falling out with his family, severed ties, and started living on his own. During this time, his parents abandoned him and returned to their homeland, Italy, leaving him to fend for himself in Japan except for a small amount of living expenses each month.
Although foreigners' attitudes and concepts toward family are indeed different from those of Easterners, and Simo's behavior does indeed resemble that of a severe case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) as described in the materials, Karasuma instinctively felt that something was off about Simo's information.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of Simo's own safety or for the safety of the students in Class E, Karasuma was determined not to let Simo enter Class E. He slammed his hands on the desk, leaned forward to support his body, and stared intently at Asano in a very oppressive posture.
"Chairman, you need to know the current situation of Class 3-E. They not only have to take on the task of killing the octopus, but they also have to face attacks from assassins attracted by the bounty!"
Do you know how many resources our government spent last semester to stop those reckless thieves from targeting students and their families? An ordinary person who tried to break in could have died!
Yes, attracted by the 100 billion yen bounty offered by various governments, countless assassins have set their sights on Koro-sensei, but have repeatedly failed.
Therefore, many individuals lacking in character and dignity, driven by greed, turned their attention to Koro-sensei's students and their parents. One reason was to kidnap them to blackmail Koro-sensei; the other was the fear that the students would complete the assassination missions before them and claim the reward.
Therefore, the Japanese government had to allocate additional funds and manpower to protect the students and their parents, allowing the students to stay in Class 3-E without any worries and fully participate in the assassination of their teacher.
Even so, some still slipped through the net. Fortunately, these people were eventually dealt with, and the students' parents were not harmed too much.
Chairman Asano was fully aware of this, but a mocking smile played on his lips. Because there were things Karasuma didn't know, he wasn't worried about Shimo's safety.
Chairman Asano leaned back slightly from his upright posture, making him appear even taller and allowing him to look down at Karasuma with a cold, condescending gaze.
"Mr. Karasuma, as the chairman of the board, I am concerned about the students' studies and future at school. As for the students' safety, that is the responsibility of the homeroom teacher and you."
"Is educating and protecting 28 children the limit for you and that octopus? Not even one more?"
"As for dangers encountered outside of school? Isn't Japan a society governed by the rule of law? Don't the Japanese police protect their citizens?"
"We taxpayers pay so much tax to the government every year, and you're not even willing to protect one more child?"
"So should I advise our young people not to have children in the future, because our government is unwilling to waste resources on them?"
"After all, as good citizens, we shouldn't cause trouble for our politicians and government."
The barrage of sarcastic remarks enraged Karasuma. This guy had been extorting countless benefits from the government under the guise of Class 3-E, yet now he was putting on the act of a proud and righteous citizen.
That's absolutely shameless!
PS1: Thank you to 浮生陈梦 for the reward; also, thank you 翼で乐, this is the first time I've received a urging ticket, I'm a little excited, so this chapter of the main text is 3500 words~ not counting the PS content. However, since I update a chapter of 2000 words every day, there's really no need for urging. And the minimum urging is 3000 words, and when I reach 3000 words, especially around 3500, I can't help but write up to 4000. But, I'm also quite lazy, so urging makes me feel conflicted.

7. Koro-sensei's weaknesses are gossip and eroticism.
Karasuma Tadashi believed that he had never seen such a shameless person in his life, apart from those shameless Japanese politicians.
Thinking about it carefully, this guy in front of me seems to have been nominated by the city council before, but he declined the position, citing his desire to focus entirely on teaching. It seems Asano is really wasting his talent by not becoming a councilor, if being shameless counts as a talent.
Left with no other option, Karasuma's only thought was to ask Koro-sensei for help.
After all, he was the class advisor, and as a super creature and a super terrorist who destroyed the moon, theoretically no one could force him to accept a student if he didn't agree.
Karasuma thought uncertainly, then turned to look at Koro-sensei's location.
He then witnessed an unbelievable scene: that damn lewd octopus was sitting with the transfer student, their arms around each other, looking at pictures of girls!
"Louise is so beautiful~" Even Koro-sensei couldn't help but praise the adorable Louise, though, being a boob-obsessed person, he silently added in his mind:
Thinking this, Koro-sensei glanced discreetly next to Seamus, though his optic nerves told him there was no one there, but ever since the little guy took out the photo...
"Of course, this is my girlfriend~ well, one of them!" Because he was too close to use his Legilimency, Ximo didn't know what the lewd octopus had just thought of, nor did he notice the abnormality around him like Koro-sensei did. Instead, he proudly showed off.
Simo is currently showing Louise to Koro-sensei a large stack of photos. In the first photo, Louise is wearing a cool magic cloak, holding a magic wand, and smiling happily in the forest.
“I begged her to take this before I left, and luckily there are cameras everywhere there,” Simo said.
Koro-sensei's understanding of what Simo said was that Simo and his girlfriend Louise took these photos at a tourist spot that offered cosplay and photo opportunities.
Koro-sensei never expected that Saimo and Louise were genuine magicians, which was also related to Saimo's act of pretending to be a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).
Actually, what Simo was thinking just now was:
Mr. Simo rubbed his arms to warm them, somewhat puzzled, while Koro-sensei narrowed his small eyes. Because Koro-sensei was beside him, Simo didn't continue thinking about (being in heat); at this moment, he still had to carefully deal with Koro-sensei.
“It’s a pity there are no magic potions, and these photos weren’t taken with magical film, otherwise they would be animated,” Seamus said deliberately.
Upon hearing his remarks, Karasuma Tadashi covered his face in frustration, thinking that such a severe case of chuunibyou was truly hopeless!
But Koro-sensei, who had initially just been looking at Louise's photos out of curiosity, suddenly changed his demeanor, and a glint of shrewdness even appeared in his small eyes: "You're saying the photos can move?"
“Yes,” Seamus nodded naturally, “As long as you go to a special magic shop to buy a magic camera and special film to take pictures, the photos developed with special magic potions will be animated.”
"So, so..."
Koro-sensei's head suddenly turned pink, but unlike Louise's beautiful pink, Koro-sensei looked extremely lewd.
Koro-sensei asked hesitantly, "A picture of a beautiful older sister with such a great figure, dressed so scantily..."
At this point, Koro-sensei suddenly paused, his previously extremely lewd expression vanishing, replaced by a very, very serious one. Shimo swallowed hard, then heard Koro-sensei ask, "Can it move after being filmed?"
Simo instinctively had a bad feeling, but he still answered truthfully, "Uh...yes."
"Then we can watch free striptease!" The lewd Koro-sensei jumped up and down excitedly, then grabbed Seamus's hand tightly with his tentacles after a few moments of wild dancing. "Please give me one set of this equipment. No, ten sets!"
Unable to break free, Ximo was speechless. He never expected that Koro-sensei would be such an octopus!
"Are you an idiot?" An angry Karasuma Tadashi had ended his negotiations with Chairman Asano (in reality, they had barely reached a compromise).
Feeling that Koro-sensei had utterly disgraced the teaching profession, Karasuma coldly pulled out a dagger and stabbed Koro-sensei viciously.
"Stop! Stop! There are students here! This is very dangerous! It will corrupt the children! Ah, good children, don't imitate this!" Koro-sensei nimbly dodged while screaming in panic, but judging from his agility, he didn't seem to be in any danger.
Moreover, Koro-sensei even took the time to go to Shimo and give him a lecture, which made Karasuma even angrier. This octopus actually had the nerve to say that he was a super terrorist, the culprit who destroyed the moon, and he even encouraged students to assassinate him!
Finally, Chairman Asano stepped in to stop the fight between the two: "Alright, you two, you didn't come here today to tear down my office, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Karasuma snorted coldly and stopped. Koro-sensei, on the other hand, pretended to have escaped a disaster, panting heavily and wiping away sweat.
"So, Koro-sensei, what do you think of the transfer student, Simo Finigan? Do you agree to let him enter Class E?" the chairman asked. This was the result of his previous discussion with Karasuma: it depended on Koro-sensei's wishes.
If he agrees, Karasuma will no longer object.
The chairman was actually quite satisfied with this proposal. Even if the octopus opposed Simo's transfer, the chairman had ways to change his mind.
Money and power can be very convenient at times.
Although this nominally super-creature is difficult to kill, when it comes to self-control in the face of temptation, it is much easier to deal with than that rigid-minded guy Karasuma.
So, under the watchful eyes of Karasuma and the chairman, Koro-sensei spoke up: "There's only one question."
Koro-sensei raised a tentacle, looking somewhat comical, and turned to Seamus, saying, "Could I have one of those amazing photographic devices?"
