Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 129: Tree Witch Teleportation
the next day.

Ritas woke up early, looked at the white obstacles in the room, and sighed softly.

This is the second day after arriving in Linglan Town. I have encountered such a thing. What will happen if I stay here for a long time?
Although Ritas took some emergency measures to deal with the seriously injured white cat, he is not a veterinarian after all, so at present he can only guarantee that the white cat is still alive, and there is no way to wake it up or make it recover directly.

Of course, even if a big cat wakes up, it probably won't help the current situation.

Although the white cat's sharp teeth were still clenched, it was no longer holding the strange white blade-like object.

Since the goddess of the bath really disagreed with the proposal of cutting off the white cat's head, Ritas could only change the solution and cut the rope connected to the white blade. Although the rope was made of very tough material, Ritas managed to break it after trying for a while.

"So if there is such a simple method, why did you suggest that cat head before!?"

At that time, the Bathing Goddess asked in confusion.

"That's because I'm not sure if this rope is actually part of the item. It looks like they're tangled together, but if they are, I probably won't be able to break it. And even if I could, it might damage the integrity of the item itself. So, it's safer to just remove the part that won't let go."

And Ritas explained it this way.

"It's to protect your head!"

This is what the Bathing Goddess said.

In short, the statue of the goddess of bathing, that is, the white disc, has regained its "freedom". And Ritas has created several layers of protective barriers around the white cat, protecting both himself and the unconscious white cat.

"Ah! Xiao Li, you finally woke up."

Biritas woke up earlier and had already transformed into a white disc crouching in an unfolded posture, from which came the energetic voice of the Bathing Goddess.

"Good morning, Bath Goddess."

Ritas greeted her, and from the Bathing Goddess's energetic voice, he could tell that she would be accompanying him throughout the day, so he continued.
"Today is Monday. Is the Bathing Goddess's engineering and studies okay?"

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough—I’m sick. There’s no organization in the world that won’t let a sick pretty girl rest at home!”

"."

Ritas could only hope that the Bathing Goddess would not cough so insincerely in front of her superior, oh no teacher.

"It's rare to be around a guy like you. So many interesting things happen, and the slices are unstable. How can I be absent?"

For the goddess of bathing who spent the entire semester with Ritas and watched him work, work, research, research, work-research, research-work almost every day, this trip to the adventurer town was a rare and novel experience.

"I don't think situations and encounters where everything is beyond control and logic are interesting."

Unlike the enthusiastic bathing goddess, Ritas really felt like his days were numbered in Lily of the Valley Town.

After another brief conversation, Ritas walked out of the hotel room on time, just like yesterday, intending to meet up with Hania.

And since then, he has never stopped fiddling with the white disc in his hand, which has changed its appearance.

After the last upgrade, the edge of the slightly larger dome of the white disc had some curved connecting parts extending out, which perfectly meshed with the connecting parts of the white blade edge. This was also the reason why the two sides could not be separated.

After fiddling with it for a while, everything became the problem that had always troubled Ritas.

What on earth is this disc?
If this white blade is part of the disk, where should it be located?

Is it on the sides of the disk, like wings? Is it on the upper side of the disk, like a cap? Or is it below the disk, like it is supporting the disk?

Ritas turned the disc sideways, with the blade at the bottom, and it looked quite nice. Putting it in the river, it looked like a boat that had "picked" the full moon.

"The shape of the disc has changed. The previous teleportation magic can no longer be used."

Compared to the question of what the disc is, which has been a thorn in Ritas' heart for a long time and has almost merged with him, the matter of the teleportation magic circle is Ritas's most pressing concern at the moment.

"Eh? It can't be used just by changing the shape?"

The Bathing Goddess said with some surprise.

It was true that whatever Ritas did before seemed easy. So, let alone teleportation magic, all magic seemed easy in the eyes of the Bathing Goddess.

It was precisely because of this misunderstanding that the goddess of bathing said unintentionally after seeing Ritas shaking his head,
"Then you should modify it again. It was only after the modification that it became usable."

"Well, it's not quite the same."

Compared with many previous sarcastic remarks, this kind of sarcastic remarks about professional topics are obviously more likely to offend the other party.

However, Ritas did not care and just said patiently,
"For magic, or more accurately, magic circles, if you make changes to them, it's basically a failure. Take the teleportation magic circle, for example. It consumes a lot of energy and carries a very high risk. So, from the moment I created it, it was the best form I could think of and within my capabilities. There's no room for change."

What Ritas said was basically the reason why, after experiencing the defects of the teleportation magic circle, he was unable to improve it, and finally had to abandon it and turn it into a variant of the attack magic circle.

He felt that his teleportation magic circle was perfect. He couldn't find the problem at all. Or, if he knew where the problem was, he wouldn't have created a flawed teleportation magic circle.

If you must say it, there was a problem with his teleportation magic circle from the very bottom and the very root.

But even Ritas currently does not have the energy, conditions or courage to simply scrap all those years of research and start over.

"Well, I just think it's a shame that you can't use the rare magic that can be considered offensive magic."

Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, the Bathing Goddess explained.

"By the way, isn't Levis good at that kind of teleportation magic? Since you have a problem, how about asking her for advice? Isn't that what teachers use for this?"

"I wouldn't deliberately argue with the teacher just because of my personal emotions."

Ritas, knowing that the goddess of the baths might have misunderstood, said,
"Teacher's teleportation magic is, well, very unique, completely different from existing magic systems. Although, I always say that Teacher became a 'sage' through force, but in fact, she also made a significant contribution. No, it's hard to say whether it is a contribution, and it's even harder to say whether it is related to magic."

When talking about Levis, Ritas seemed to have a headache suddenly, and his speech was a little garbled.
"In short, she discovered a 'boundary'."

"boundary?"

"It's a difficult concept to explain. It's like there's a dimension as large as this world, overlapping it in a special way. It's a tangible existence, but it's impossible to touch or enter it through ordinary means. Theoretically, there should be many such 'worlds'. But as mentioned before, it's usually impossible to touch them."

"Well, I don't quite understand, but it does seem to have little to do with magic? Wait, this thing that normally cannot be touched was discovered by Levis?"

The Bathing Goddess summed it up in her own way.

"Yes, and not only did they discover it. Teacher, they also occupied the place without permission and named it 'Levi's World'."

"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being called the Tree-Robbing Witch." "However, that place is originally filled with violent energy that cannot be explained, tentatively named chaotic energy, an ownerless space, so compared to other actions, the teacher's behavior that time was not particularly excessive."

Ritas rarely spoke a fair word for Livis.

"In short, the process of the teacher's teleportation magic is to first open the entrance to the 'Levi's World', then she enters it and quickly travels through the 'Levi's World' whose rules are different from this world, and finally opens the entrance to this world and leaves. It is precisely because of this step that the Tree Witch Teleportation Method is different from the generally known teleportation magic. Although it is also very fast, it is not to the extent that it can be achieved instantly."

"Huh? I feel like it was specifically named the Tree Witch Teleportation Method to distinguish it from ordinary teleportation. Is there anyone else using it besides Levis?"

"Yes. In fact, as long as you can reach a certain threshold, the use of the Tree Witch Teleportation Method is easier than you think."

Ritas paused, sorted out his words,
"First, one needs to be able to withstand the violent energy within the 'Levi's World.' That energy would instantly shatter any ordinary person who entered, and even if they could withstand it, they would essentially lose all senses. Furthermore, most magic would be ineffective in that world, which has different rules."

"Secondly, you need to understand the special rules of the 'Levi's World'. Otherwise, your speed of traveling through it will not be much faster than in the normal world."

"Finally, it's about the ability to perceive the coordinate magic circles. It's said that no matter how powerful one is, they feel like they're drowning in the deep ocean within the 'Levi's World.' Only the coordinate magic circles can act as a beacon to guide them out. In other words, to obstruct or disrupt the Tree Witch's teleportation technique, one doesn't need to destroy the entire 'world'; one only needs to tamper with the coordinate magic circles."

"Though these thresholds may seem harsh, there are still some people who can reach them. These people are the users of the Tree Witch Teleportation Technique."

Ritas explained the system.

"Hey, the powerful people in your world are more powerful than I thought. Speaking of which, since you have been studying other teleportation magics, does it mean that even you can't use the Tree Witch Teleportation Magic?"

Facing the Bathing Goddess's doubts, Ritas nodded, and then his eyes became distant.
"I was briefly thrown in there by my teacher before. She said it was easy to adapt to and it was no big deal. However, my memory was basically cut off instantly, and it was three months before I woke up from the hospital bed again."

"As long as we mention Levis, we can't avoid your psychological shadows, right?"

Sometimes she felt that it was a miracle that Ritas lived to meet her.

"I'm not being stubborn. I really think that not being able to use the Tree Witch Teleportation Method is not a bad thing. Because, just thinking about it, you know that the teacher will definitely not let others use her 'Levi's World' for nothing. Maybe, from the basis of naming the world she discovered, she has decided to collect tolls. And the teacher collects this toll every year, which is considered the main business of the Tree Witch. And judging from the resentment of those people that seems to have condensed into substance, the teacher should be skinning them and pulling their tendons every year."

As a student of Levis, Ritas got to know many important people during his time as a follower.

And it was probably from that time that he completely lost his filter and admiration for those titled mages who stood at the top of the world.

"Tsk, only robbing, no, cheating, no, only doing business with the world's top? This is a righteous act! She can find the 'boundary' and open the entrance to the boundary with her bare hands. If she wants to, she can follow the line. Remember to tell Lady Livis next time that the goddess of bathing has respected her since she was a child."

"."

Ritas stared at the disc with a subtle expression for a while, then made a final summary.

Since, they were fundamentally different, Levis was unable to give him guidance on teleportation magic.

But on the other hand, Levis could issue him a "Badge of Permission to Use Teleportation Magic".

Although, Ritas wasn't too worried about the academic community coming to trouble him if his teleportation magic research was exposed, but he thought less trouble was better.

What's more, compared to the lowest level of taboo, "teleportation", there is another thing in Ritas's ongoing research that cannot be exposed.

At the same time, when talking about things related to teleportation magic, Ritas was reminded of something the Bathing Goddess once said.

A "Professor of Magic" who can teleport and clone himself at will.

Obviously, there are only a handful of people in the world who can use teleportation magic. And there is probably no so-called "professor of magic" who uses the Tree Witch Teleportation Technique.

So, was there someone who could bypass him, get the materials and knowledge necessary to study teleportation magic, and progress faster than him, or was there someone who could completely master teleportation magic from scratch in the next two years?

After thinking for a moment, Ritas put aside all the doubts that arose in his mind.

Maybe, he was just thinking too much. Maybe, it wasn't teleportation magic at all, but a special ability like a sleight of hand.

It's not magic, it's magic.

At noon, Ritas met Hania in the tavern.

After a brief description of the white cat he encountered last night, Hania immediately had an idea.

"Professor, that must be the White Cat, the honorary leader of the 'White Cat Adventure Group'. There's no doubt about it."

In Lily of the Valley Town, if you say the name of an adventurer, you may get a dozen different options, even the Four Heavenly Kings of the East, South, West and North.

But when it comes to a big cat, the options are pretty much fixed.

“Why is it easier to find a cat than a person?”

Holding his forehead, Ritas whispered to himself.

In the following time, Hania briefly talked about the information of the White Cat Adventure Group.

According to him, this was an adventure group that was formed by a new adventurer called "Black Nun" who suddenly appeared in Lily Town almost two months ago and that grew rapidly in a short period of time.

The overall strength of the adventure group is quite impressive, and they even have two four-leaf-level adventurers.

You have to know that the Adventurer's Guild in Suzuran Town is just a branch, so there are only a few Four-Leaf Adventurers in the entire town.

Among the two four leaves, one also happens to be named "Helian".

"It's a coincidence, but it's not a coincidence either."

Ritas sighed lightly. With the popularity of "Helian" in Lily of the Valley Town, it would not be surprising to have a Helian in every adventure group.

Just as Ritas and Hania were discussing the White Cat Adventure Group, the waiter in the tavern suddenly brought two large glasses of specially mixed tree sap to their table.

Ritas looked towards Hania, and the cash-strapped Elf strategist simply shook his head.

Soon, the waiter answered Ritas's questions.

"It was invited by the guest over there."

Ritas looked over and saw a woman in a hooded robe sitting at the bar.

As the woman took off her hood, her long, colorful and smooth red hair spilled out like a blooming flower.

"It's a real coincidence to meet you here, Mr. New Adventurer over there."

Turning her head to look at Ritas, Cecilia, with a playful smile on her face, waved her hand gently and said.
