Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 105 World Box
In the afternoon, Ritas came to the dean's office.

Perhaps because it was the holiday season, Livis's attire was rather casual that day.

It was a cute blue and white dress, blue and white striped socks but in a lighter color, red round-toed shoes, and a light yellow headband tied on top of her head into the shape of big rabbit ears.

It can only be said that this dress that is more like a young girl is not very suitable for Livis's young appearance that cannot tell her actual age. Not to mention, in Ritas's eyes, his teacher is completely an old man.
"Ah~ My beloved disciple. Since you looked so rude the first time I saw you, I guess you must be in a good mood today."

Putting her arms on the desk, Levis said with a smile.

Although the Tree Witch also seemed to be in a good mood, Ritas, who knew her well, knew that he could not judge her by appearance.

According to his experience, Levis, who was generally moody, was more dangerous the brighter her smile.

"You've come just in time. Help me think about whether there is anything that needs improvement in my magic."

"Eh?" "Improvements?"

Unlike the accustomed Ritas, the bathing goddess in the disc made a confused sound.

Livis's behavior was like that of a well-known industry master asking a school student about the quality of his or her work.

"Well. As you know, I did a good thing for the continent before. I destroyed a labyrinth that had just evolved to its ultimate state. But in the end, some old people in the academic world not only didn't thank me, but also wrote to reprimand me just because I used forbidden magic and caused some minor damage to the surroundings."

As Levis said this, she picked up an opened letter with her fingers and waved it in front of Ritas.
"The person who wrote the letter thought I didn't know where he lived, but I actually did. So, I was going to go to his house and set off some fireworks or something."

".I see."

Although Ritas didn't know what he was agreeing with, he just understood "So that's how it is".

Ritas decided to be stupid for a while and pretend that he had heard and understood nothing before. After thinking for a moment, he explained his views on magic.

"'Solar Eclipse' itself is a highly refined magic, and even if it is improved, it won't change much. However, the steps before releasing 'Solar Eclipse' may be slightly changed. The arm extending from the ground is only used to lift the target to a high place to avoid the damage to the surrounding area caused by 'Solar Eclipse', which is somewhat wasteful."

Ritas looked around briefly and fixed his eyes on the potted plant in the corner of the room.

He made a waving gesture, and the green plant in the pot transformed into a miniature arm extending from the bottom of the pot.

"You can create an opposing arm at the top of the 'eclipse', and then, as the lower arm rises, let the upper arm push the 'eclipse' down, and finally create a scene like a hand-to-hand gesture."

As Ritas spoke, a small ball of light condensed above the miniature arm. Above the ball of light, a vertical arm formed by the surrounding green leaves appeared.

Then, as he said before, as the two arms rose and pressed down. When the two arms closed, the ball of light was squeezed and slightly deformed, and then spread out in all directions like ripples.

Since Ritas's ball of light is really just a ball of light, it naturally won't have any power after it spreads.

It's just simply beautiful.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Levis gave a positive evaluation of Ritas's proposal.

As for whether she will adopt and implement it, all we have to do is wait quietly to see if something suddenly explodes in the sky after a while.

As long as the other party doesn't live in some remote corner of the world, Livis' magic is much easier to observe than astronomical wonders.

"Tsk, you two are really brave, one dares to ask, the other dares to teach."

Facing the Bathing Goddess's complaints, Ritas turned his gaze over.

Looking at this scene, Livis slowly opened her mouth.

"The so-called goddess resides in that disc? It's about time you explained it to me, my beloved disciple."

Livis's eyes were fixed on the white disc.

Then, the bathing goddess, who had been chattering before, suddenly fell silent.

"Save me."

In the dean's office, Livis fiddled with the white disc up and down, carefully observing every corner of the disc towards the direction where the light was shining.

While observing, she also whispered to herself, "What material is this thing made of?", "If the goddess lived here, her body would be only the size of a bean?", "Let's take it apart and have a look?" and so on.

As for the Bathing Goddess, even though it was obvious that Livis couldn't hear, she still asked for help from Ritas in a mosquito-like voice, as if she was afraid that the other party might hear her.

"."

Aren’t you usually very excited to shout “Levisy-Levisy”?

Speaking of which, watching Livis fiddling with the disc, Ritas had a strange feeling as all of her bad deeds came to his mind.

It’s like a newly bought toy is “borrowed” by a vicious bad student to play with.

After checking it for a few minutes, Levis quickly lost interest and put the disc aside casually.

"So, this goddess is the goddess of bathing? What can she do?"

If Duritas can only be ranked second in disrespect for God in this world, then Levis must be ranked first.

"She occasionally gives out oracles that are similar to prophecies."

After thinking about it, Ritas replied.

As for the nonsense that bathing can make the skin smoother, it is just to deceive ignorant believers.

"What about the prophecy?"

A hint of disgust flashed across Livis's expression.

Obviously, she disdained the concept of "prophecy" even more than Ritas did.

Rumor has it that the one among the four wise men who worships fate and nature is the world's top prophet.

And Levis is very good at making enemies with others.

"It's called a prophecy, but it's actually a little different from a prophecy. Strictly speaking, the oracle of the goddess of the baths is more accurate and clear than a prophecy. But sometimes, there can be huge deviations. The reason for this is that the principle of this prophecy is similar to the 'World Labyrinth Experiment' of 'The Clearer' Ominus." When Livis mentioned Ominus, one of the four sages, her expression became even more displeased.

The four sages also have their own types and styles, and this "thorough man" is undoubtedly a type who is obsessed with research. In other words, he is a researcher with many similarities to Ritas.

Therefore, even if Ritas himself did not say anything, others would presume to think that, as both were sages, the "Master" was more suitable to be Ritas' teacher than the "Tree Witch". And Ritas might also hope to become a disciple of a researcher.

Especially after Professor Ritas himself became famous, there were naturally more voices like this.

"The 'World Labyrinth Experiment' is an experiment in which the Master selected two labyrinths to place alchemical life in during the process of cultivating the labyrinth. It is a simple simulation of the operation of the world and an experiment to explore various laws. The gods, including the Goddess of Bath, have carried out this world-scale simulation more thoroughly. In the eyes of the gods, the world is like a series of autonomously operating boxes. And all the boxes, without interference, will show the same flow and the same results, without any changes. This is why the gods have the ability to predict."

"If you don't interfere, the flow and results will be the same. So if you interfere, the results will be different, and the prophecy will no longer be accurate? Well, why is it that the goddess is interfering with our 'box'?"

Levis grasped the key point of Ritas's words and asked.

"On the one hand, it is meaningless to observe the direction and results that will not change. Only by adding changes can we get more conclusions. On the other hand, if we do not interfere, the whole world will begin to be destroyed in three years."

Ritas emphasized the importance of the matter.

"."

The Bathing Goddess was stunned by the conversation between Ritas and Livis.

So this is how the world is structured and how gods exist. Oh no! She is the goddess. What on earth is Xiao Li talking about?
The goddess of baths knew very well that Ritas was explaining the current situation in a way that was easier for others to understand. He had to do something similar to "covering up the lie" because the existence of this goddess from another world was too abstract and difficult to understand. It would be better to say that when even the goddess of baths herself did not know what was going on, many things could not be explained at all.

But if you can't explain it, it's hard to gain trust. If you can't gain trust, you won't get recognition. And without recognition, it may be difficult to get the help of the "Tree Witch".

But no matter how clear it was, the Bathing Goddess always felt a strange uneasiness in her heart.

Because Ritas' words are so convincing.

Ritas's identity, achievements, knowledge, deeds, atmosphere, impression, and many other factors make him look like an absolutely "correct" person. And whether it is intentional or not, Ritas's voice, tone, speaking interval, rhythm, etc. also make his words naturally persuasive and even inflammatory.

And such a Ritas is currently weaving lies.

It was just a harmless lie, even a lie prepared for others.

Even the tree witch would not have any doubts about this. Even if she had some questions, they were not questioning, but hoping that Ritas would answer them.

The Bathing Goddess didn't know what to say. She just felt that no matter what lies Ritas weaved, they would probably be impossible to expose.

This is a very special ability that Ritas possesses. It will not be reflected in the panel, numbers, etc. It is formed through innate conditions and various acquired supplements.

It would be fine if Ritas just used his ability like this.
"That is to say, even with all the changes, the other world boxes also began to be destroyed after any of the four organizations, the 'Trickery Society', the 'Beast Empire', the 'Darkborn', and the 'Forgotten Temple', seized this academy?"

"According to the oracle of the goddess of the baths, that is the case."

Ritas said with a calm expression.

"My beloved disciple, do you think this so-called goddess can be trusted?"

Even though the person who said the suspicious words was Ritas, Levis would obviously only suspect the Bathing Goddess who was "behind" Ritas.

"For me, I can trust it. Or rather, I can only trust it. Because facts have proven that before the 'change' occurred, the oracle of the goddess of bathing was an accurate prediction. Otherwise, I can't think of the possibility of surviving the assassination carefully planned by Malik Azan."

"."

Listening to Ritas' words, Levis was silent for a moment, and then fixed her eyes on the white disc that she had lost interest in before.

"If the dean has any doubts, he might as well join the 'Bath Goddess Church'. The members of the church can hear the voice of the Bath Goddess. And through communication with her, the dean can also make his own judgment."

“Eh——?”

Before Levis could respond, the Bathing Goddess jumped in surprise.

The Bathing Goddess was not bragging. She was confident that once she started talking to Livis, she would be able to tell her all her secrets within three sentences.

Wasn't Ritas afraid that his lies would be exposed? Or did Ritas really have enough confidence in her, thinking that as long as she could get Livis into the church, she could use her personal charm to make her a loyal believer or something like that?
"Church? Forget it. A college and those old guys are enough to trouble me. I don't want to become the pope of the church or something and make myself unhappy."

Livis waved her hand and said with an annoyed look on her face.

"?"

And Ritas was stunned for a moment.

Why did his teacher take it for granted that he, who had just joined the church, could directly become the highest-ranking and most remarkable person in the church?

"Goddess, church, whatever, just run it yourselves first."

Levis said as she turned around twice in her swivel chair, then returned to her position facing Ritas, the smile on her face fading a little.

"As for the Beast Empire, the adventurers I found seem to have discovered something from the location where the Nest Demon appeared. So, leave it to them for now. As for the Darkborn and the Forgotten Temple, which you have already found, since they have not shown any danger or hostility, you should continue to carefully investigate their situation."

Levis paused for a moment.

"It's the 'Trickery Society'. The Eight Plagues? Really interesting. The 'Insect Plague' interfered with my teleportation, the 'Fear Plague' attacked our students during the practical test, and the 'Disease Plague' even tried to assassinate my beloved disciple."

Listening to Levis's suppressed anger, Ritas was speechless.

Because, three of the eight disasters, as hateful as Levis said, have now turned to ashes.

"They are so brazen in someone else's backyard. We can't just let them attack us and respond passively. We have to take the initiative to find them and find them out."

"Then tell me where they live and I'll take care of the rest."

Listening to Levis's words that were enough to make people shiver in the back even in the hot summer, Ritas was very tactful and did not correct her as usual, saying that the academy was not Levis' private property.

Both Ritas and the Bathing Goddess felt one thing.

That is, from this moment on, the rules of the "game" between them and the "Trickery Society" have completely changed.
