Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 153: Elson Style Swordsmanship
At noon, Ritas and Courtline took a carriage to Earls College.

In the carriage, Ritas briefly asked Instructor Courtline about the recent training of the Tree House Trio. Courtline's answer was that from the perspective of "Elson", they were not even qualified to join. However, from the perspective of a mage, the three girls could be said to have made considerable progress.

After more than a month, Courteney got to know the three girls better and better.

According to her, apart from Merci, neither Tabatha nor Noah would be able to successfully complete their training if they were taken out alone. Even if it was just the most basic physical training.

However, with Merci joining them, although the training of the three of them was bumpy, they always managed to reach the minimum standards.

Although it was different from the general perception and impression of "leaders" in the world, Courtline believed that Merci possessed a unique style of leadership.

"Since you care so much, why not take some time to go over to the tree house and take a look? They should be looking forward to seeing you, uh, and this bathing goddess as well."

"I don't need to. Summer vacation is a rare opportunity, and they probably don't want to see the dull face of their class teacher. As for the Bathing Goddess..."

Ritas turned his gaze towards the white disc.

"what did she say?"

"She said she wouldn't disturb Merci and the others' training. So, you don't mind disturbing me, Bathing Goddess?"

Ritas frowned slightly as he spoke to the Bathing Goddess.

"It's really hard to imagine that a real goddess lives in a plate like this."

Watching Ritas talking to the goddess of baths, Courtline, who couldn't hear anything at the moment, sighed, took the disc, looked it up and down, and then held it in her arms.

Ritas found that women who were interested in the white disc would hold it in their arms after observing it for a while. Maybe it was because the size and weight of the disc were just right for such an action?

"After school starts and the formalities are officially implemented, you'll be able to hear her voice. If you really want to hear the Bathing Goddess' voice now, you can go to the Baptismal Cathedral in the northern suburbs of Spring City and apply for membership. But believe me, even if you hear the Goddess' voice, most of the time it's of no use. In other words, in a situation like this, you wouldn't want to hear it."

Listening to the strange breathing sounds of the bathing goddess in the disc, Ritas said with a complicated expression.

Those magicians who, in their later years, became mystical and began to study theology, if they encountered the Bathing Goddess, would probably turn back to studying magic.
In fact, the "church system" of the Bathing Goddess, which is generally quite lax in judgment, can be very strict in strange places.

For example, now that all the formalities have been completed, Courterine will be assigned as a member of the "Tree Witch Research Institute" and become a formal consultant of the "Bath Seminar" from next semester. In other words, she can be considered a member of the Bath Seminar.

However, in the judgment of the church system, she is still not one, so she cannot hear the voice of the goddess of bathing.

"Then I will continue to wait for a few more days with anticipation."

Courtline said, returning the white disc to Ritas.

"As for what you said about them not wanting to see you, do you really believe that? You're so smart, are you really not aware of anything?"

"This has nothing to do with my intelligence; if I can't perceive it, I can't perceive it. Also, there's no need to overestimate me. I too make mistakes, misjudge things, and fail."

Ritas said expressionlessly.

"Hehe, just assume you really didn't notice. After all, students shouldn't be the ones to choose. But you also know that you're not a child anymore. There are some things that, even if you're not anxious about it, someone else will be anxious for you."

Courtline said meaningfully,

"Uncle Roland, for example."

"."

After listening to Courtene's words, Ritas was silent for a moment and then asked,

"What did Roland mention in his reply to you?"

"If you're really curious, why don't you write a letter and ask?"

Courteney's face was full of gloating, while Ritas felt ominous in his heart. Because, every time at this time, nothing good would happen to him.

"As for your question, after we left the 'West Territory', did Uncle Roland accept any new students? The answer is no. He said that he might not plan to accept any other students in his lifetime."

"It would be disheartening if one's heir suddenly became a mage's swordmaster."

In response to Ritas' words, Courtline turned her head to look at the clear sky outside the window, whistling softly with an expression that had nothing to do with her.

"Since the source isn't Roland, then from whom did the mysterious wizard learn his swordsmanship? Does it have to be traced back even further? Remember, the 'Elson Style' swordsmanship originated from the 'Kingdom Swordsmanship' of the Lionheart King. And the Lionheart King, in turn, learned his swordsmanship from the royal family's teacher."

Ritas continued to ask.

"If we trace it back this way, everyone's swordsmanship has the same origin. And since the name of the school has changed during the process of transmission, it means that it has undergone a huge change or improvement from the original. It can even be said that Uncle Roland's 'Elson Style' swordsmanship is very different from the original. It is not an exaggeration to call it a new school. In other words, even if someone learns 'Kingdom Swordsmanship' now, no matter how long it takes, they will not be able to evolve into Uncle Roland's swordsmanship."

"That is how the matter?"

Ritas gently pressed his slightly aching temple.

He originally thought that the mysterious wizard had displayed sufficiently recognizable sword skills, so he could use this clue to identify the other party.

But the result was that the already mysterious wizard became even more mysterious.

As expected, the only way to investigate is through the path of the Bathing Goddess, using the "star pattern" on the forehead as a clue?

Looking at the white disc that was still laughing, all Ritas felt was uneasiness.

On the other side, Courtline was actually thinking too.

In the hands of each user, there will be different styles of changes, which should be the characteristics of the "Elson Style" or the more original "Kingdom Sword Art".

Furthermore, Courtline was a woman, so even if she hadn't deliberately changed anything, her swordsmanship was still somewhat different from that of the contemporary swordsman Roland.

Especially as she got older, Courteney's figure gradually became different from that of men, and it was particularly different.

However, the sword skills used by the mysterious wizard at that time were very similar to hers.

So, it is better to say that she taught the sword skills rather than Roland.
But where would she get her students? Even if the Tree House trio truly awakened some talent for swordsmanship, it would likely take many years for them to become successful.

However, she was a little hesitant about whether she should mention this to Ritas.

On the one hand, it was just a matter of a moment, and to put it bluntly, it was just some "feelings". Even calling it a "coincidence" was not necessarily completely unreasonable. On the other hand, due to lack of training, her current strength, acuity, and recognition ability were far inferior to those of Courtline in her prime, and she was not very confident in her guess.

While Courtline was hesitating, the carriage slowly stopped.

She glanced sideways from the carriage window and saw that a convoy had temporarily blocked the road. Besides several magnificent carriages gleaming with gold, the convoy also contained some incredibly tall, horse-like creatures made entirely of dark ore.

"That's the Magical Chariot, Bathing Goddess."

On the side, Ritas was probably answering the Bathing Goddess's questions.

"Why is the Magic Carriage a 'horse' and not a 'carriage'? Is the Magic Carriage of the Bathing Goddess a 'carriage'? No, it's easy to understand that a 'horse' can move independently, but it's the design of letting a 'carriage' move independently that is puzzling."

Listening to Ritas's argument with the air, and watching the gorgeous, advanced, and huge convoy leave, Courteney asked in confusion,

"Is there any grand event in this city recently? These past few days, I often see some VIPs who are obviously from outside."

Courtline, who took a carriage to Earls College almost every two days, asked in confusion.

“A grand event.”

As he whispered the word, Ritas had some idea of what it meant. However, he didn't expect that he would guess correctly.

It wasn't too long since he returned to Earls College. Ritas saw Hania, who had been waiting for him for a long time, at the entrance of the college.

In the carriage, after looking at Hania from afar and marveling at his appearance, Courteney temporarily separated from Ritas and headed to the tree house.

"Good morning, Mr. Haniya. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No, no. Overall, it's me who's bothering Professor Ritas."

In the middle of summer, Haniya, who was sweating profusely from the heat, wiped his sweat while walking with Ritas to the third dormitory area of the college.

During the summer vacation, Said is still the security guard on duty in the third dormitory area.

After a brief greeting with Sayid, the two arrived at their destination, Kenny's dormitory mansion.

Kenny, a senior staff member at Earls College.

The most common image of Kenny among students at the academy today is "Chef Kenny." While his usual cooking is delicious, every first Monday of the month, he's likely to torment the public with his own creations, which are incredibly flavorful.

But if we look back about twenty years, people in the college's impression of Kenny was "Professor Kenny".

"Oh my, isn't this my dear Ritas~? What a rare visitor. Come quickly."

"It's been a while since I last saw you, Chef Kenny."

Looking at the sturdy Kenny, who was walking towards him with graceful swaying waist, Ritas looked calm.

Over the years, Ritas had grown accustomed to Professor Kenny's style. He just looked a little strange, but otherwise he was quite normal. One could even say he was much more normal than most people who only looked normal.

In fact, sometimes Ritas is really curious about why the once famous genius scholar suddenly became a chef who likes to twist his waist and raise his fingers.

However, since Professor Kenny's active period did not coincide with Ritas's enrollment period, his curiosity ultimately remained just curiosity.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few faculty and staff with eccentric personalities in Earls College.

Ritas didn't know whether it was because Earls Academy had an equally eccentric dean, the "Tree Witch," that it was more tolerant, or whether it was because the former academic geniuses, after spending a few years at the academy, began to behave strangely.

"Hania dear, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look pretty bad today, have you been lacking rest?"

Professor Kenny held his face and looked at Hania with some concern.

"No, Mr. Kenny. My face is naturally like that."

Haniya said with a gloomy expression.

"Hate it, Mr. or something, you can call me Chef Kenny or dear~"

Professor Kenny said this with a bit of embarrassment, and patted Haniya's shoulders with his powerful hands. Haniya's relatively thin body spun twice on the spot like a spinning top.

"I know, Chef Kenny."

As an adventurer, Hania, who is generally resistant to monsters, replied calmly.

Arriving at Professor Kenny's house, the first thing Ritas smelled was the sweet smell of pastries. As the two walked upstairs under Kenny's guidance, the smell gradually turned into the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Professor Kenny's original research direction was magic potions and magic herbs.

After becoming Chef Kenny, he did not give up those studies.

However, compared to the past, he now cultivated some strange-looking flowers and plants more out of hobby. Moreover, he simply cultivated them without analyzing their effects or making them into medicine.

"When you enter the room later, remember to stick to the left side. There is a naughty child in the room who likes to play pranks on strangers."

Professor Kenny said this and entered the room that was their destination first.

Following Professor Kenny's instructions, Ritas readily followed suit, slightly opened his arms, shrunk his body as much as possible with his back pressed against the door frame, and carefully moved sideways into the room.

Haniya, on the other hand, saw Professor Kenny enter normally and nothing happened. So although he also entered from the left, he didn't stick to the door frame as exaggeratedly, but just kept as close to the side as possible.

Then, a snake-like figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows at the upper part of the room and bit Haniya's right arm in an instant.

"Oh my, Hania dear, are you okay?"

"I'm okay."

It was a carnivorous plant with two rows of metal-like sharp teeth. It bit the bud-like head of Haniya's right arm and kept growling like a beast.

"That kid seems to like you very much~"

"really."

Haniya, who had finally saved his arm, calmly bandaged the bleeding wound and imitated Ritas's contraction movements.

I can only say that Professor Ritas is worthy of his name, and every move he makes is full of things worth learning from!
Haniya sighed, and soon saw a little girl in the room who was coughing up blood from time to time even in her sleep.

One of the original members of the White Cat Adventure Group and Alan, Einfeld's younger sister.

And now, seeing Alan sleeping in a room surrounded by "naughty little cuties who like to play pranks on strangers", Hania regretted asking these magic professors for help.
