Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 161 Doctor Elson

After leaving the Latras mansion, Ritas walked straight towards the northern part of Spring City.

Unlike the most prosperous and noisy East City, which is almost a city that never sleeps, the atmosphere in the North City changes as soon as you enter it. It is full of hidden and dark places suitable for covert operations.

Ritas walked slowly through the alley, through the stairs on the side of a building, and came to the roof of a four-story building.

Since it is not too far from the brightly lit Dongcheng District, no stars can be seen in the dim night sky, and only the full moon hanging in the sky can be vaguely seen.

After standing on the roof for a while, Ritas suddenly spoke loudly to the empty surroundings,
"How about showing up almost?"

For a long time, Ritas' words did not receive any response. So, after thinking for a while, Ritas changed his words.

"If you don't show up on your own initiative and get caught, it will be very embarrassing."

The silent roof seemed to have a slight rustling after Ritas' words. However, it could still be considered as the sound of the wind.

".The shame is only secondary. You will lose a chance to make a grand entrance."

This time, after Ritas's voice fell, there was a "swish" sound, and a figure appeared behind Ritas on the spacious roof.

Windless night.

The figure suddenly appeared on the scene, constantly waving his cloak with his arms, making the cloak flutter in the "wind" and make rustling sounds.

Rooftop at night.

Ritas was holding his aching head with his hands.

Although his target appeared before him as he expected, he still had a headache.

Ritas didn't know if it was because he hadn't been in hibernation for some time, but he felt like he was still in a nightmare. Although he had returned to Spring City, his soul might still be in the hell called "Lily of the Valley Town".

It's been several days, why can't I see any normal people?
Although, if you insist on explaining it, it is understandable.

Members of the four major villain organizations cannot be normal, otherwise they would not plan to destroy the world, revive the devil, and other actions that sound stupid just by hearing them.

But whether it's the people of the "Forgotten Temple" or the "Darkborn", even if they just pretend to be
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Ritas turned around and faced the uninvited guest.

It was a figure wearing a dark robe under a cloak, with his face hidden in a hood.

At first glance, there are two things that Ritas is somewhat concerned about.

On the one hand, maybe because of the distance, the outline of this uninvited guest looked a little small. On the other hand, the style of the robe this person was wearing, especially the decorations on the shoulders, was particularly familiar.

"You, are 'Abandoned Lottery'?"

"'Abandoned Lottery'? That's just an outdated name. Now I am 'Doctor Elson'!"

The man who called himself Doctor Elson exaggeratedly spread his arms toward the sky. As he raised his face from under his hood, he saw a strange mask with a long bird beak.

"."

"But you, are you really the 'Special Color' in the rumors?"

Dr. Elson, who had obviously modified his voice, seemed to be asking Ritas a question, but before Ritas could respond, he already had the answer.
"You've really gone too far, Ritas Miski Berengrom. You are not only Professor Elson, but also a disciple of the witch. Not only do you have the blood of the great sinner 'Varanger' flowing in your body, but you also have 'Strange Glory' to hide your identity! You created so many settings for yourself, what exactly do you want to do!"

There seemed to be some annoyance in Dr. Elson's words.

".Those are not 'settings', nor are they manufactured. And, if I must ask, I should ask you what you want to do."

"I've been through a period like yours, so I know it very well. Things like 'settings' become cheaper the more they are added. So, as someone who has been through this, I advise you to refine your settings and discard some of the redundant parts."

Dr. Elson said in a serious tone.

Ritas always felt that his communication with Dr. Elson was somewhat irrelevant. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to try to see if the other party was listening to him.

"My adopted father, Roland Elson, is the Sword Master of the West."

"'The Sword Master's adopted son'!"

Suddenly, Dr. Elson felt as if he was hit by an arrow in the chest. He grabbed that spot with his hands and staggered a few times.

It seems that they do have a common language.

"Okay, although you are greedy, you are indeed stronger now. However, the stronger the light, the darker the shadow. Now, I can only be your shadow. But one day, I will make my light more dazzling than yours!"

"."

In just a few minutes, Ritas, who had been speechless for several times, finally gave up communicating with Dr. Elson.

"Perhaps you really just want to be in the spotlight."

With this judgment, Ritas couldn't help but sigh softly.

From the events related to "Qi Cai", Ritas made some analysis on this weirdo from "Dark Descent". Apart from other things, there is no doubt that "Qi Cai" wants to be in the limelight. Moreover, his character also clearly shows contempt for "authority", believing that no matter how famous the other party is, he must be superior to the other party's arrogance.

So, Ritas discussed the matter with Blake Hepburn, the leader of the Guard Knights.

If "Qi Cai" never shows up, it will be very difficult to catch a criminal who may have special abilities in this vast city of Spring. Moreover, unlike the three perverted brothers, "Qi Cai" does not have the need to commit crimes frequently.

If you want to catch the other person, it is best to lure him out actively.

And the "bait" is Ritas.

Since "Qicai" wanted to be in the limelight so much and wanted to be the most famous person in the city, Ritas just wouldn't let him do so.

He used newspapers and other media to constantly stop the "abandoning lottery" during the summer vacation. Once the other party committed something that could make him famous, the headline of the newspaper the next day would definitely be Ritas. Even if it was just some trivial matter that was barely related to Ritas, it would still be written about in a big way to suppress the limelight of "abandoning lottery".

Ritas thought that with all the hatred he had attracted, Qicai's arrogant style would sooner or later come to his door. But when he returned from Linglan Town, he found that Qicai had disappeared.

However, since those days, Spring City has had a mysterious liar who uses the name of "Dr. Elson" to deceive people and publishes "major research breakthroughs" all day long.

Ritas naturally thought of "abandoning the lottery", but the complexity shown by the other party made Ritas somewhat unsure of the other party's thoughts and purposes.

Thinking that the seduction plan had been in place for more than a month, it would be a pity to give it up. The Latras family was preparing to hold an event that would be both influential and popular. So, Ritas decided to add fuel to the fire and give it a try before the end of the summer vacation.

Although, due to Sylvie, the timing of adding fire was slightly off, but overall it could proceed as planned.

And "Qi Cai" or Dr. Elson was finally led out by Ritas.
"Now, I can probably understand why you can appear in Spring City where I live. Although it is a little unbelievable for an out-and-out criminal to say such words, from any perspective, you should be 'harmless'."

Ritas looked at Dr. Elson and couldn't help shaking his head.

Faced with Ritas's somewhat disgusted tone, Dr. Elson did not react at all.

"But no matter what, I need to catch you. Because... you have unfortunately provoked someone who should not be provoked."

As Ritas spoke, he took out two pieces of paper, one in each hand, and showed them to Dr. Elson.

"I am currently a temporary advisor with limited authority in the Spring City Guard Knights. On the left is the appointment letter. On the right is the arrest warrant for you, 'Qi Cai' and 'Doctor Elson'."

"'Temporary advisor to the Knights'!? So I'm telling you, don't add any more settings!"

“It’s not a setting!”

Although, Ritas's official signal for action was when he showed Dr. Elson the official documents.

But judging from the timing, it was as if his intolerable rebuke had become a signal.

Then, as Ritas's voice echoed in the air, a sharp arrow flew straight from the shadows towards Dr. Elson's back with the sound of breaking through the air.

clang!
After Dr. Elson pulled out two daggers from his waist and easily shot down an arrow with the right one, the battle officially began.

"You think you can take down your 'shadow' at this point? Brother!"

"Who are you?"

Ritas almost responded subconsciously, but he stopped talking in time.

He had the feeling that the more he tangled with Dr. Elson, the more stupid he would appear.

After shooting down the arrow, Dr. Elson easily took off his no longer needed cloak, cut it in half with a dagger, and then took out a part and wrapped it around his arm.

The remnants of the cape fell from the outstretched arms, giving it a "bat-wing" feel. Dr. Elson was clearly imitating the look of "Strange".

However, Ritas's appearance was carefully designed, and it was naturally not comparable to Dr. Elson's temporary outfit. However, this style, which was filled with an extremely rough and inferior feeling, was also the consistent flavor of this weirdo from the "Dark Descent".

Whoosh whoosh—

While Dr. Elson was using precious combat time to do meaningless actions, several more sharp arrows flew from the four corners of his vision.

"So, this level is useless! Don't underestimate my scalpel!"

Dr. Elson, who follows the doctor's instructions to a certain extent, calls the daggers in his hands scalpels.

After a smooth spinning movement of his, "ding ding" sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and the four arrows were also easily shot down.

However, before he could feel proud for too long, when he raised his head slightly, he saw hundreds of arrows falling towards him from the sky like a torrential rain.

“Isn’t that a bit too much?”

Dr. Elson suddenly became embarrassed and dodged in panic, constantly performing circus-like agile moves, using his two-handed daggers to chop down the arrows that were everywhere and increasing in number.

In fact, while dealing with the arrows, Dr. Elson focused more on Ritas.

Even though Ritas just kept his defensive barrier open to block the stray arrows that inevitably flew towards him, it was obvious that in the eyes of Dr. Elson, Ritas was still the one who posed the greatest threat.

The dense arrows were flying faster and faster, attacking Dr. Elson who was dodging on the top floor.

For a moment, even Ritas, the "friendly army", felt a little scalp-numbing at the huge number of arrows.

If we ignore the accuracy and power of these arrows because there are too many of them, we will definitely suffer losses.

After all, each batch of these arrows were visibly hit within a certain range, and the vast majority of the arrowheads pierced the stone ground.

If we don't deal with the hidden archers in time, we will be doomed sooner or later.
Dr. Elson probably came to this conclusion. After escaping from another round of arrow rain, he lowered his body, pressed the ground with one hand, and suddenly let out a war roar like a wild beast.

Then, through the few gaps in the bird's beak mask, Ritas saw some blood-red lines beginning to spread on Dr. Elson's face.

Doctor Elson was activating the power of the Sin Seal. And if Ritas's impression was correct, Doctor Elson's Sin Seal should also come from the "Blood Moon Seal".

At the same time, Ritas once again suspected that gaining power through the Sin Seal would turn people into mental patients.
After the sin seal was activated, Dr. Elson, who was already extremely agile, suddenly burst out with speed several times faster than before.

He jumped down from the roof of the fourth floor without hesitation, and his body's afterimage drew a dark broken line in the air. In the blink of an eye, facing the endless arrows flying from the front, he arrived at the hiding place of the archers he found through observation.

Dr. Elson turned around the wall, waving the dagger in his hand, intending to kill all the annoying archers, but suddenly he looked stunned for a moment.

Because, after the scenery in front of her changed, in the corner of the alley, which was more spacious than it looked, she only saw countless arrows laid out on the ground, and did not see the Guard Knights Archer Brigade as she had imagined.

What was even more terrible was that he saw a half face that was not hidden in the shadows in time.

He didn't know how to describe it, it was a face so ugly that it seemed to make his heart stop for a moment.
Dr. Elson couldn't help but pause for a moment, and was immediately attacked.

From his side, the two-handed sword emitting a sharp light came at him like a hammer rather than a sword strike.

boom!
The powerful sound broke the ground at Dr. Elson's feet, and even caused the ground to tremble. Even though Dr. Elson dodged, he continued to use the skill of spinning his body, and stabbed the dagger in his right hand into the shoulder socket of the attacker.

His attack clearly hit the target, and the black blood flowing along the blade of the dagger proved this.

However, the stabbed opponent did not waver or retreat at all. Instead, his tense muscles prevented Dr. Elson from pulling out the dagger in time.

The "berserker" who seemed to be incapable of feeling pain, moved without any delay from the moment the weapons crossed, and the movement continued to her legs.

A whip kick was thrown, hitting Dr. Elson right in the middle, leaving him no room to dodge after a series of accidents.
