Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 146 Elf Guard
Time passes a little.

Four days after the Black Labyrinth incident.

When he opened his eyes, Ritas saw a familiar ceiling.

If he was not mistaken, he should be in the treatment center of Earls College at this moment.

Bringing the injured back to the academy was undoubtedly the right choice.

Although it is somewhat inconsistent with the stereotype, the best healer in the large area centered on Earls is undoubtedly the tree witch Levis. The healer second only to Levis is the director of the Earls Treatment Center.

The director is commonly known as "Tree Doctor". He is a tree spirit of unknown age, and is suspected to have existed since the founding of Earls College.

Almost no one has ever seen her face, and no one has ever heard her voice, because she never appears in front of others, and only treats them when they are unconscious.

As for the reason, I heard it was because this Miss Tree Spirit was extremely shy.

"Huh? You're awake, Xiao Li."

"."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Ritas always feels that the first thing he sees when he wakes up recently is always the bathing goddess next to him.

After hearing the voice of the Bathing Goddess, Ritas, who had originally propped himself up, lay back on the hospital bed.

"What do you mean? I've been taking care of you while you were unconscious, okay?"

“How exactly is it taken care of?”

"Well, I said 'Come on, you will make it' many times, so rounding it off, I think the credit should be 50-50 between me and the tree doctor who treated you."

Although she was a little stumped by the question, the goddess of bathing who refused to lose said so.

"Then it's not impossible to round it off and give all the credit to the Bathing Goddess."

"There's no need to calculate everything. Because the night before yesterday, I saw 'Dr. Tree'! You can't imagine what Dr. Tree looks like~ Hehe, do you want to know? If you ask me well, I can describe it to you."

Previously, after hearing about Doctor Tree from Ritas, the Bathing Goddess obviously put a lot of effort into keeping watch this time.

"I'm not that curious."

Although Dr. Tree was unwilling to see others, it did not mean that she refused to contact humans. Therefore, through letters and other means, Ritas learned a lot about the tree spirits during his student days.

In addition, Earls' library also contains a lot of information about the tree spirits.

So, the only thing that Ritas didn't know might really be Dr. Tree's appearance.

"Hey~! Why don't you be curious? I beg you! In order to see the little tree, I set the alarm to wake up every hour at night, and finally I saw it."

"."

Instead of being curious about others, you should live your own life.
In the face of Ritas's silence, the Bathing Goddess finally couldn't suppress her desire to show off and described the image of the Tree Doctor.

Overall, it was not beyond Ritas's expectations.

The appearance of the tree spirits is quite different from that of humans.

To put it simply, it is like a wooden stake walking on its roots and using its branches as arms.

However, according to the Bathing Goddess, since the tree spirit has a round feel everywhere, the overall style is cute rather than spooky.

"Goddess of Baths, how many days have I been asleep in total?"

Ritas asked after the Bathing Goddess finished her story.

The Bathing Goddess sighed with a sense of déjà vu, and then said quietly,
"I shouldn't have provoked you, but it's not good to keep it a secret from you. Anyway, you must hold on, Xiao Li. It's been ten or ten years since you woke up last time."

"Tsk."

how to say?

Everything is the same as always.

Soon after.

Lying on the hospital bed, Ritas picked up the letter on the low cabinet beside the bed.

Since Ritas is a patient after all, ordinary letters will not be sent to the treatment center, unless the sender is very special.

"Hey~ Is it Livis's letter? Come to think of it, you and your students have always communicated by writing letters. Isn't there a better way?"

The Bathing Goddess has always been unsure about the technological level of the world of Ritas, and what era it would be in her world.

But I think if there were more convenient props or something, top mages in the world like Ritas and Levis would definitely have access to them.

"Not really. But the teacher is more used to this way. Don't forget that although the teacher looks like that, she is already quite old inside. So, she herself may not realize that she is more conservative than imagined, and it is more difficult for her to adapt to new things. For example, magic tools, even if the teacher has a good relationship with Master Susola, under normal circumstances, she will not ask for useful magic tools. Because the birth of magic tools may be something that happens after she becomes an adult."

"Tsk, you're so reckless, relying on the fact that Levis isn't here. Be careful, she may have set something on that letter, and she'll bite you if she hears you say something bad about her."

"I didn't say anything bad about the teacher, I was just stating the facts."

Although Ritas said this, he was probably also worried that Levis had tampered with the envelope, so he checked it out before carefully opening the letter.

There wasn't much in the letter, but the order of priority of related events was full of the style of the Tree Witch.

First of all, Levis expressed her appreciation for Ritas’ previous suggestions.

As for what the suggestion was, it was a few days before summer vacation, in the dean's office, when Livis asked if there was any room for improvement in the way she presented magic, Ritas gave her suggestions from an artistic perspective.

Anyway, Livis adopted it. And according to her, the "old guy" in the magic world who wrote to her and angrily accused her of using forbidden spells was also very satisfied with the "solar eclipse" that exploded above his mansion after the improvement.

He'd better be really satisfied.

Secondly, Livis talked about the special dormitory area.

After almost a month, the special dormitory area, which was built for the college exchange meeting on the surface and to protect the star mark holders in the college, was basically completed.

Of course, it was not Livis's purpose to inform Ritas about the completion of the dormitory area.

She also found many jobs for Ritas.

Protecting the students is important, but even if it's just an excuse, Livis hopes that Ritas can think of some ways to make the results of this college exchange meeting better.

Obviously, the dean of Earls could not tolerate his college being at the bottom of the college exchange meeting for two consecutive times.

So, before the school officially started, Ritas was already having a headache about the next semester.

I can only say that this is the disadvantage of dragging Livis into things related to "Star Mark".

Once the Tree Witch finds an opportunity, she will command people to do her bidding and will never be polite or allow anyone to refuse.

Finally, it is still related to the special dormitory area.

Livis said she borrowed a small guard from the elven kingdom.

At this point, if only one Elf Guard wants to protect the entire dilapidated Earls College, it would be like pouring a basin of water into the sea. Therefore, the main task of the guard is to protect the special dormitory area, or to be more precise, to protect those Star Mark girls who are easily targeted by strange forces. And Livis gave the date for the Elf Guard to arrive. If Livis is not convenient to return to the college by then, Ritas will go to serve as the guide for these Elf Guards who have come from afar.

"."

Looking at the last content, Ritas frowned deeply.

Based on his understanding of his teacher, how could it be possible that when Levis returned to her hometown to "borrow" things, she only "borrowed" a small team?
There is definitely something wrong here!
Either there is something wrong with this team, or Levis is hiding something.

While having a headache, Ritas saw a sentence written by Livis in an inconspicuous corner of the letter as if by chance.

By the way, the so-called five disasters have become three disasters.

“Wow! That’s all there is? Those are the ‘Eight Disasters’, two of them are gone at once, how come they are just like the insignificant ‘ps’ at the end of the letter! Does she think she just kicked a stray dog to death on the side of the road or something!”

"Bath Goddess, peeking at other people's letters is not something that deserves praise."

Ritas gave a temporary lecture.

As for the dignified Tree Witch, I didn’t know before, but now she probably wouldn’t do something like kicking a stray dog to death on the roadside.

If the wild dogs really provoke her, their population will probably become extinct.

"I'm not peeking, I'm looking openly. And who says it must be sent to you? Maybe it was sent to me by Livis! Anyway, there are only three left. What's going on? It's only been half a year, less than half a year, four months! How can the 'Eight Disasters' die so quickly? Aren't you advancing the speed a bit too fast? Under normal circumstances, it takes a whole year in the third year to defeat half of the 'Eight Disasters', and then it will take until the beginning of the decisive battle in the fourth year to completely eliminate them. At this rate, the 'Trickery Society' will be wiped out!"

The Bathing Goddess couldn't help but wonder.

She used other devices to open other files and was deeply touched.

During the same period, in other files, the hero occasionally had to go to the forest to hunt rabbits and other things. If he encountered a big wild boar, he had to gamble with it.

"Even if you tell me that, I basically did nothing. It was the Trickery Society that had to trouble me again and again. And, if you look into it, except for Malik Azan who blew himself up to some extent, the other Eight Disasters were all the work of the teacher."

"Um?"

After hearing what Ritas said, the Bathing Goddess's first reaction was disbelief.

In her mind, the "eight disasters" were all turned into ashes because of Ritas. How could Ritas get away with it so cleanly?

After thinking about it carefully, she was surprised to find that what Ritas said was actually right.

The "insect plague" was on the night of the Summer Festival, and they obstructed Livis's teleportation without knowing whether to live or die, and then nothing happened. As for the "terror plague", it was inspired by the light of the "solar eclipse" along with the combined maze. As for the "corpse plague" and the unfortunate disaster, it was also after the "corpse plague" was marked by Ritas that Livis flew over to "offline" to make them real.

"You you you"

For a moment, the Bathing Goddess didn't know what to say.

It feels like the "Eight Disasters" are really just seeking death on their own?
"If I hadn't seen everything with my own eyes, I would have been horrified. Tsk tsk, so if there is a reckoning with the remaining 'Three Disasters' and 'Strange Mage', it will be on Levis, not you?"

After Ritas folded Livis' letter and put it away, he nodded calmly.

"That should be the case under normal circumstances. However, based on my current impression of them, the people in the An Yi Society are not quite normal in their minds."

Ritas said, and couldn't help but sigh.

Under normal circumstances, let alone settling accounts. If he was from the Dark Ceremony Society, he would have stayed away from the Tree Witch, who had killed so many high-ranking personnel like chickens. Unless the Tree Witch retired, he would never set foot in the Holy Kingdom of Libera for the rest of his life.

"Also, through this, I discovered a problem. Perhaps, my question may be a bit jumpy, but in the world I am in now, does the leader of the 'Tricky Magic Society', the 'Tricky Mage', really exist?"

Recalling his previous encounters with the "terror disaster" and the "corpse disaster", Ritas asked.

"Eh? Why do you ask?"

The Bathing Goddess was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"Because, the situation that the Dark Ritual Society showed before did not seem like there was a leader. And it was precisely because the 'Eight Disasters' lacked restraint and seemed to be divided into several camps, and there was a lack of communication between the camps. Therefore, the 'Corpse Disaster' showed obvious ignorance about the things related to me. And, perhaps it was just because of the 'Corpse Disaster's' personal character. But at least from his performance, the 'Eight Disasters' seemed to be the top of the Dark Ritual Society, and there was no one higher than him."

If "Corpse Disaster" is really just a lackey, but he acts like God is the boss and he is the second in command, then it can only be said that he, who was already very abstract, has become even more abstract.

"Now that you mention it, it's really weird. Besides, the number of people in the Trickery Society is indeed a bit too small. In the game, they have quite a lot of humanoid monsters. Trickers, Trickers, and other messy ranged single targets always hit us first, which is quite annoying. Speaking of which, we did catch quite a few when we were with the big yellow hair. However, most of them are related to the big yellow hair family, and there are people controlled in the academy, right?"

After thinking about it, the Bathing Goddess began to feel that something was not right with the Anyi Society.

"Of course, it may be because the cases we encountered were special cases. Malik Aizan was born in a big family. He had gone crazy during the 'terror disaster'. The 'corpse disaster' in Lily Town was actually a clone, and he was more inclined to use the undead. But..."

There are only a few of the Eight Disasters, and now there are only three left.

So, it is the remaining few disasters who have been responsible for the operation and functioning of the organization and control all the grassroots believers?

"If that's the case, then the situation with the Forgotten Temple is similar to some extent. The existence of the leader is questionable, and the organization itself cannot be said to be complete. Or maybe it hasn't even been born yet."

"What I'm thinking is, since the 'Trickster' and 'Star Priest' probably don't exist at present, then the 'Dragon Emperor' and the 'Wanderer'."

Does it not exist either?

Ritas's expression began to become strange.

Because he recalled what the original bathing goddess said.

Four hostile organizations and their leaders suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the third year of college life.

At that time, as we gradually found traces of the existence of the four hostile organizations, we also hypothesized some possibilities as to why they existed at the same time, but only one was left in the end. Therefore, the Bathing Goddess's statements naturally became untrue information.

But, to put it another way, those organizations were able to win out in the mutual struggle only after they suddenly gained a "leader" before the third year.

As the final enemy organization, in a sense, it can be separated from the previous one and is a completely different existence. Therefore, the statement that they suddenly emerged in the third year does not seem to be completely false information.

Just when Ritas, who didn't want to be taken advantage of by the Bathing Goddess, began to think about how to make the Bathing Goddess unaware of this matter, he mentioned his guess.

The door of Ritas's ward was pushed open impatiently.

In the extremely hot summer, it was Cecilia who ran back to Ritas' ward, sweating profusely.

"Ah, Professor, you're awake."

The moment she opened the door, she saw Ritas sitting on the hospital bed. Before she was overjoyed, Cecilia reluctantly swallowed half of the words "Why did you wake up?"

Looking at Cecilia's complex expression, it was unclear whether it was more of joy or more of regret and disappointment, the bathing goddess at the other end of the disc sighed inaudibly.

This scene gives me a special sense of déjà vu.

It seems that before the holiday, Merci, who had been taking care of the comatose Ritas for several days without taking off her clothes, went to attend the school assembly that she had to attend, and Ritas just happened to wake up.

And these days, Cecilia, who had also been taking care of Ritas almost non-stop, left for a while just because of many troubles related to the "Dead Bones", and Ritas happened to wake up again.

If she hadn't been there, the Bathing Goddess would have thought that Ritas did it on purpose.

I can only say that he is worthy of being Professor Ritas.

Even when he was unconscious, he could still break other people's flags in a special way.
