Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 13, Magical Movement Seminar

"Well, actually, I don't know how Engel fell. After choosing Cecilia, Engel left Yew Wood at the end of the first semester and switched to Green Ivy. Then, he disappeared from the academy without anyone noticing, and when he reappeared, he was a cadre of the Demon King's army."

Didn’t you say that there was nothing you didn’t understand about “Star Mark”?

Hearing the answer from the Bathing Goddess, Ritas couldn't help but reveal a questioning expression.

On the other hand, Ritas was slightly surprised at how good Engel was.

You can't change your grade at Earls. There is only one condition for changing your grade at the end of the semester. That is to be the best student in the current grade, and then be ranked in the top ten in the overall grade before you can apply.

“You don’t have to look at me like that. Hehe, I’m not afraid to tell you that I’ve only been chasing cute pretty girls! At most, I’ll add some boys who look like pretty girls, or cute little boys!”

"."

Does this bathing goddess know what she is talking about?

"Anyway, don't worry too much about Engel. I clicked the wrong line a few times and entered the Engel line. Although I quickly reloaded the save file, I still remember the beginning. Every time I clicked the Engel line, it would jump directly to the side courtyard of the venue of the 'Moneyball Seminar'. So, his line fixation starts from there."

After hearing the Bathing Goddess's addition, Ritas couldn't say much and could only nod.

Although it was just a feeling, Ritas felt that the Bathing Goddess might be unexpectedly useless.

"By the way, what would happen if we entered the so-called 'Cecilia Line'? Miriam and Engel were classmates before, and they already knew each other. But he and Chief Cecilia should not have had the opportunity to come into contact, right?"

"Well, as long as you choose the Cecilia line, it will naturally connect to something. I remember that one time when Miriam and the mercenary boy were on the street on their day off. They met Cecilia who was being chased, and naturally lent a hand. Just like that, it was obviously a meeting between the three of them, but from that day on, the story of the hero and Cecilia officially began."

".What?"

Recalling the conversation with Miriam before going out today, Ritas's face couldn't help but become solemn.

As expected, today’s itinerary should be to follow the brave man!
Soon after, Ritas arrived at the vicinity of the Magicball Seminar venue.

It is said to be the venue for the Magic Ball Symposium, but in fact it is a shared place for multiple magic sports symposiums.

The venue itself was a “huge coliseum,” in the words of the Bath Goddess.

"Does 'Magic Ball' have any special origins? Oh, never mind. I don't want to hear about those settings. Just tell me if Magic Ball is popular or not."

"It should be quite popular, right? In every 'College Exchange Meeting', the Magic Ball project is always the most popular one."

Ritas thought for a moment and then answered.

"Oh, the college exchange meeting, the one held in the second semester of the first and third years. Although something bad happened in the third year, the one in the second semester of the first year was still quite interesting."

"event."

The Bathing Goddess would occasionally reveal some disturbing things.

"So, are there any cases where students are recruited specifically for Moneyball? Or, maybe students only play Moneyball for four years and eventually become professional Moneyball players."

"That's not the case. Magicball activities are limited to students, and it should be difficult to make it a career. It is not feasible for students to only play magicball for four years in school, and they will not be able to graduate. And if they complete the four years of courses in the academy seriously, but finally choose to play magicball, as a mentor, I will be a little sad."

As for recruiting students with special talents in magic ball specifically for the two college exchange meetings, it was simply outrageous. However, Ritas could not say anything definite.

After all, the dean of this college is capable of doing such a thing.

"Hey~ Is it to the extent that it makes the teacher sad? It seems that sports competitions in your world have not yet begun to develop. No, is the magic ball really a sport? Eh? Is that Iris over there?"

Sometimes, Ritas was quite impressed by the Bathing Goddess's extremely jumping thoughts.

Although he didn't know which "over there" the goddess of baths was referring to, after looking around, he did find Iris.

Not far away, a large pink girl was being surrounded.

At the beginning, Tas's impression of Iris in the classroom was that she was abnormally huge, which made him wonder if she had the blood of a giant or an orc.

While Iris was standing, Ritas' suspicion became even stronger.

Even though Iris stood with a slightly hunched back, the tallest people of her age around her only reached her chest, and most people could only look at her abdomen level.

"Wow——it's really Iris's wife~"

The Bathing Goddess shouted in a voice completely different from usual.

In fact, Ritas never knew the meaning of the word "wife". However, in order to prevent his feelings for the goddess of bathing from further declining, he decided not to ask for the time being.

"Ah, why are you still daydreaming? Go save Iris."

"Is she in need of rescue now?"

Ritas asked this, and then saw that Iris's face not far away was indeed full of trouble.

As mentioned before, there will be a "College Exchange Meeting" next semester. This College Exchange Meeting is simply a large-scale sports meeting held by multiple magic schools. However, almost all the events are related to magic.

This area is actually where the Magic Sports Department's seminar is held, and they all hope to achieve better results in the upcoming exchange meeting.

Therefore, Iris, who happened to appear at this time and had a very strong presence just from her physique, naturally became the target of everyone's pursuit.

"Cadet Elise!"

Under the endless urging of the Bathing Goddess, Ritas spoke up.

Elise looked towards Ritas as she heard the voice, her eyes lit up. There were almost three layers of people surrounding her, but she just stretched out her hand and gently pushed a path.

"That. That"

Iris looked a little embarrassed as she walked in front of Ritas.

"Good morning, Cadet Elise."

"Ah, good morning, Professor Ritas."

As the two of them were greeting each other, the various seminar members who had previously surrounded Iris began to gradually disperse.

They may be a little dissatisfied, but when they see Ritas's outfit, they dare not show their dissatisfaction.

Even though they had done nothing wrong and it was a holiday, the natural pressure from the instructor to suppress the students still existed.

"I called you, student Iris, not because of anything special. I just saw that you seemed to be in trouble. Did I do something unnecessary?" "No, no, I was indeed in trouble before. Many seniors I didn't know invited me to join their seminars. Some of them seemed to have conflicts among themselves, and they started arguing over there."

Iris let out a light breath and spoke with lingering fear, her hand on her chest.

"So, you have been invited to so many seminars before. Is there any one that you prefer?"

"Eh? Well, not yet."

Iris shook her head and replied,
"They didn't know me or anything about me, but they wanted me to enter their seminar just because of my appearance. I couldn't trust them."

Hearing Iris' words, Ritas was a little surprised.

Because, Iris always kept her head down and her chest hunched, which made her look somewhat timid. Her face with drooped eyes also looked gentle.

But after just a few words of conversation, he could feel that Iris seemed to have an unexpectedly strong character and would not compromise easily.

"I think your judgment is sensible, Cadet Iris. As I said in the morning meeting, it is easy to join the seminars in the academy, but it is more difficult to quit. It is very likely that once you join a seminar, you will not be able to change it until graduation. Compared with four years, a few months of careful selection is nothing."

In response to Ritas's repeated advice, Iris nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, Cadet Iris, could you please hold this disk in your arms?"

“It’s okay, but it’s okay”

But why?
Iris looked like she really wanted to ask that.

What exactly is this disk, anyway? Why is the professor holding it up?
"However, there is no need to be hostile to the seminar that just invited you. Although they don't know you well enough, they think you have the talent that suits their seminar based on the first impression, which is actually a kind of recognition."

".Eh?"

Iris's doubts were not because Ritas spoke for those seminars, but because she was surprised that the previous conversation could continue after adding such a confusing part as "holding the disk".

"I was thirteen years old when I entered school. My growth spurt came late, so I looked like a child at the time. It was also for this reason that I was rejected by almost all seminars with the excuse that 'we don't need children'. So."

Ritas extended his hand, indicating that Iris could return the disk, and continued,

"At that time, I would probably envy students like Iris, who were sought after by the seminars of the Department of Magical Sports."

"Is that so"

Iris handed the disc back in a daze.

She knew that Ritas was probably trying to comfort himself, but it was hard to tell whether the words were self-praise or self-torture.

However, she could also feel that even though it was a comforting statement, Ritas's "envy" was not false.

Perhaps the "bad things" she had always thought of were not all bad things.

"Thank you very much, Professor Ritas."

Iris thanked him, both for the previous rescue and for the comforting words.

“Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Li, this is just your ignorance. If you had just said to Iris in person, ‘Since you don’t like those seminars, let me create a seminar just for you’, wouldn’t you have succeeded directly? And since you were planning to create a seminar anyway, why not just name it ‘Seminar for Iris’s Love Nest’!”

So, does this bathing goddess really know what she is talking about?

".Please respect yourself, Bathing Goddess."

“Self-respect? What self-respect? Ah, what about the scream just now? I can’t help it, you don’t understand, that perfect angle before, that view looking up~”

Tsk, there is also this matter.

Ritas occasionally obeyed the request of the goddess of bathing, but all he got was regret.

"Come to think of it, Iris looks pretty listless. This is all your fault, Satoshi."

"I?"

Ritas was a little confused.

Could it be that Elise was the kind of student who was very focused on her studies? So, as a tutor, he was absent for two weeks, causing Elise to feel that her studies were delayed and fall into depression.

“Yes, it’s all your fault that Merci’s awakening plot was triggered early. Merci was unable to go to class during this period, and she also moved out of her original dormitory. She was originally a roommate of Iris.”

"So that's it."

Although the Bathing Goddess's words were somewhat unreasonable, it was true that he had an impact.

I think if things go well, Merci and Iris, who are in the same grade and live in the same dormitory, will become inseparable friends. Although Merci has many unreliable aspects, she can still play a role when Iris is surrounded like just now.
probably.

Or perhaps it could be said that the reason why Iris came to the seminar area even on her days off and showed a certain degree of urgency in joining the seminar was because she felt uneasy about the lonely college life.

"Girl students are a species that will have trouble breathing if they don't walk in groups, whether it's elementary school or college."

Although his perception was not as absolute as that of the Bathing Goddess, when Ritas recalled, he did find that he rarely saw female students alone in the academy. Most of them were in groups of three or five.

"If I remember correctly, there is another female student in Yew Fir Class. Student Sylvie Latras. Isn't she able to..."

“No, no, Sylvie’s role is that of a ‘black-hearted merchant’. She’s a functional store NPC and generally doesn’t interact with other people.”

Hearing the Bathing Goddess talking about games again, Ritas knew that there was basically no room for further discussion on this topic.

Speaking of which, it has nothing to do with the so-called "black-hearted businessmen". As a member of the large merchant family Latras, Ritas felt that it was very strange that Sylvie would appear in the Yew Fir School.

Because this period has a special "Golden Balance" class, which specifically recruits civilian students from merchant families and wealthy families.

"By the way, are the interpersonal relationships between students and the troubles that arise from them really something that the instructor should worry about and intervene in?"

Recalling the previous conversation, Ritas frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"Of course, the students' body, mind, spirit, energy, and everything need your careful care as a mentor! So, you have a long way to go, Mr. Xiao Li."

Amid the Bathing Goddess's rather sarcastic remarks, Ritas arrived at the venue of the "Magic Ball Seminar".

In the remote connecting courtyard leading to the outside from the side of the venue, Ritas finally met the student who was his target for the day, Engri Wilvedo.
