Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 168: Unicorn's Embrace
"As you know, something like that happened during the Summer Festival. Therefore, the Magic Ball Seminar has been suspended indefinitely. As for the seniors in the advanced department, most of them were affected by the incident and have psychological trauma, so they don't want to touch the Magic Ball anymore. However, it's okay for the beginners like us. Overall, the Elinger Ball is innocent, right?"

At the magic ball court that looked like a park, Iris came over after seeing Zoffy and Grenville.

After a brief greeting and mutual hello, Iris explained to Grenwell's doubts.

On this day, Elise was wearing a pair of shorts and a sports shirt. Perhaps because there was no sportswear that fit her size, her shorts looked particularly short.

"Before that, I remember you were from the 'News Seminar'?"

"Ah, the news seminar is not held during the holidays. And it's hard to refuse when they ask me to do something."

Iris put her hands on her hips and looked towards the field. There were four female students, all of whom seemed to be from the elementary department.

Looking at the fragile appearance of those female students, Glenwell seemed to understand Iris's feelings.

Come to think of it, those students in the elementary level Magicball seminar are also quite pitiful.

They joined the MagicBall seminar with great expectations and aspirations. They did nothing wrong, but the MagicBall seminar itself no longer existed. Without a consultant, coach, or seniors to guide them, they could only start from scratch and practice in an open field in the hot summer.

The reason they found Iris was that, on the one hand, they wanted to form a new Magicball seminar, but encountered problems with the number of people. On the other hand, they probably saw Iris playing Magicball before and thought this classmate was very good.

And precisely because of this, Iris, who was pulled in to make up the numbers, now looks like the president of the new Magic Ball Seminar.

"It's a rare opportunity. Glenn and Zoffy, do you want to try playing Magic Ball? If there are six of us, we can split into two teams and fight as a team."

Iris invited the two of them.

"Well, we're going to find a place to have lunch. And..."

Grenville cast a questioning look at Zoffy.

"Don't mind me. I also want to see what a magic ball game is like. But I can't participate because I don't know how to use magic. If the rules are simple, I can be the referee!"

Zoffy showed positive intentions.

"Then let's move around a bit before lunch!"

Facing the gazes of all the girls, Grenville's face gradually showed "determination".

Shortly after.

On both sides of the open-air magic court, in the two teams standing in a triangle, Iris and Grenville, standing in the front row, were competing against each other.

The serving party is Elise.

Although Glenwell had always thought that Iris was a cheerful person, after meeting her for the first time in a long time this summer, Glenwell felt that Iris seemed to be more cheerful.

For example, now she is holding the Elinger ball tightly with a naturally confident smile on her face, and the sweat that occasionally flows down her face also looks shiny.

You say you can't refuse or something, but if you don't really like it, you probably won't be this happy, right?
Thinking of this, Grenwell pointed the magic ball and wand in his hand at Iris.

"Come on, come on! Now that we are on the battlefield, don't make disappointing shots!"

Occasionally, he also needs to show his handsome side in front of Zoffy!
"Oh? How dare you say that!"

Elise smiled, holding the wand in her left hand and holding the Elinger ball tightly with the five fingers of her right hand.

Um.
Shouldn't the normal way to play with this magic ball be to infuse magic into it, make it float and then fly towards the target?
Although, Grenwell had seen Iris throwing the magic ball directly with her hands.

However, at that time, Elise was a beginner who was temporarily brought in, so it was understandable that her playing style was messy. But now she has practiced for a holiday.
"Don't cry!"

At this moment, Grenwell saw two team members behind Iris. One of them turned his face away as if he couldn't bear to look at the other side, while the other had a look of pity on his face.

The ominous premonition that Grenwell had felt when he saw Iris before suddenly became extremely strong.

"Wait"

Grenwell felt a little regretful, but before he could say anything, Iris had already moved.

The magic wand in her left hand has added enhanced magic to both her and the Elinger Ball. The magic effect in the magic ball game will be slightly exaggerated, so Iris is now shining silver.

In an instant, Iris, who had been strengthened, fully stretched out her body which contained enormous power, and threw the Elinge ball out like a cannonball.

whoosh-

By the time Grenville realized what was happening, he was already flying.
"Everyone at the New Magic Ball Seminar made delicious sandwiches~"

In the afternoon, after having a picnic with Iris and others who had finished practice, Grenville and Zoffy continued to walk towards the direction of the Grand Theater.

In response to Zoffy's happy exclamation, Grenville just laughed dryly and responded vaguely.

He had no idea what the sandwich tasted like.

If I have to say, it might be the smell of stomach acid?

So, which damn bastard spread the rumor that the "Ailing Ball" doesn't hurt when hit by it!

There is definitely something wrong with the way Elise plays Magic Ball! If everyone plays like her, Magic Ball would have been considered a dangerous sport and banned long ago!

Grenville, whose old wounds had not yet healed and new ones had been added, sighed, reached out for the theater ticket, and clenched it tightly.

As long as we get to the theater, the date will definitely be back on track and everything will be fine!
"Glenn, is that the big theater you mentioned?"

While Grenwell was praying in his heart, Zoffy discovered the target in the distance before him.

"Well, it should be. We are almost there now."

"But aren't there too many guards around the theater?"

"guard?"

Grenville walked forward quickly in confusion, and then realized that what Zoffy said was indeed true.

Around the Obsidian Theater, one of the three major theaters in Spring City, there were dozens of people dressed as guards. According to Grenville's impression, these guards should be affiliated with the Guard Knights.

"Oh! I see. As expected of a big city, this is also part of the theatrical performance, right?"

After thinking about it for a while, the clever Zoffy immediately found the answer.

"Ah this."

Most likely not!

Just as Grenwell was hesitating, Zoffy was already sighing, "There is actually such a form of drama that extends beyond the theater," and then walked towards the theater with small but surprisingly fast steps.

"Zoffy. Forget it."

Thinking that he had done nothing wrong and that he had already bought the tickets, Grenville followed without stopping him.

then
At the entrance of the Grand Theater, Grenville and Zoffy were surrounded by guard knights, as expected by others.

"Why did you appear here at this time with such a face?"

In front of the Obsidian Theater, after Grenville and Zoffy were surrounded, a slovenly young man with stubble and greasy hair walked out from the crowd of the Guard Knights, and paced around them with his hands behind his back.
"You must be an assassin!"

"no!"

Which assassin would appear in such broad daylight?
Grenville frowned and denied it, while subconsciously protecting Zoffy behind him. "Tsk, you may not be now, but if you step into the theater, you will be."

The scruffy knight spread his hands and continued.

"what?"

"Young man, you may not know that this city has several rules. Anyone with a scar on his face will be identified as an assassin the moment he steps into the theater, and will be executed on the spot. So go, go, go somewhere else today. If you bought a ticket, come back another day or return it."

The sloppy knight began to shake his hands as if he was driving away chickens.

"Why haven't I heard of this rule?"

Grenville asked uncertainly.

"Because it was just formulated."

“Who made it?”

"Captain of the Guard Knights."

"Where is he?"

"It's me."

"."

This city is beyond saving!
Looking at the sloppy knight, no, the captain of the Knight Guard, who raised his chin proudly towards him, Grenwell couldn't help but raise his forehead.

"Glenn, I, we, let's come back another day."

Zoffy, who was behind Grenwell, gently pulled at the corner of his clothes, looked around at the fully armed guard knights around him, and whispered to him.

Grenville knew that although these guard knights had bad attitudes and were arrogant, they had not yet made any particularly excessive moves. However, if he continued to pester them, it was not certain. By then, he might make a big fool of himself.

But even though he understood this, Grenville was still unwilling to accept it.

What about another day? There is no such thing as another day.
Just when Grenville was extremely conflicted, a figure in a wheelchair appeared in the theater.

"What are you guys making so much noise for? Oh? Isn't this a commoner from my grade?"

Turning his gaze, Grenville saw a blonde woman who was only good-looking... and perhaps also had an exceptionally high status.

"Teacher Adeline!"

Grenville probably never thought in his life that there would be a day when he would use Adeline as a lifeline.

When the Knight Commander, who had been so arrogant before, heard that Adeline obviously knew Grenwell, his face suddenly turned green.

"Are you here to watch this play, too? For a commoner, your taste is commendable. Um, you are not a student in my grade, right?"

Adeline was pushed by the equally armed guards to Grenwell and Zoffy's side. After observing Zoffy for a while, she asked uncertainly.

“It’s not.”

Glenwell, who doubted that even after a semester, Adeline still couldn't remember the faces of all the few students in the Yewwood class, answered in a subtle tone.

"Since we are both commoners, you should at least be like him and make your appearance somewhat recognizable."

After Adeline made her "suggestion" to Zoffy, she signaled her attendants to push her back into the theater.

As most of the guards entered the theater with Adeline, Zoffy whispered in Grenville's ear,

"Is this also someone Glenn knew at the academy? She's different from the others. I hate her!"

"Ahahaha, Teacher Adeline is just a bit vicious, but she's actually a nice person."

Even though it might not be his intention, or he was the culprit, Adeline finally saved him. So Grenville laughed dryly against his conscience.

Three hours later.

Zoffy walked out of the theater, stretched hard, and then blushed and said softly,
"I'm sorry, Glenn. I fell asleep halfway through."

I fell asleep within five minutes of the start. Rather than saying it was “in the middle”, it should be said that it was “at the beginning”, right?

Grenville, with his head down and a gloomy face, looked at Zoffy with a complicated expression.

"It doesn't matter. You're already tired from the journey. Besides, the play was really boring. I actually fell asleep in the middle of it."

Grenville said with a very forced smile.

Because Zoffy was asleep and didn't know it, a nine-square square formation appeared in the empty auditorium of the Grand Theater.

He was the center of the square, surrounded by guard knights.

In addition, the guard knight used something that was either the blade or the scabbard to press against his waist from the left and right sides, and when he went to the bathroom, he went with four people.

As for whether the drama is good or not
he does not know.

Who could understand the drama in that environment?

Besides, it wasn't entirely a lie to say he fell asleep. For a long time during the journey, he was looking back on his life and his consciousness was wandering.
So, who is that teacher Adeline? Just watching a play can make the guard knights so nervous.

Grenwell had always known that Adeline was probably the eldest daughter of some prominent family, but he had never imagined that she could be so "prominent".

However, has Teacher Adeline ever been so high-profile in the past?

Also, the maid who seemed to be inseparable from me didn't come with me at this time.
"Aha."

After slapping his forehead hard, Grenville regrouped and put the unnecessary things out of his mind.

Date, today is date day!
Don’t worry about what happened before, as long as you perform well next time!
"There's still some time before dinner. Next, let's..."

"It's almost time to go buy some special products for dad and everyone else."

"That's great. I know a famous store called 'Unicorn Hug'. Let's go buy it there!"

"It sounds like a high-end store. It has special products and stuff. I'll just buy whatever I want."

"No, if you want to buy something, you have to buy the best!"

"So what does the 'Unicorn's Hug' sell?"

"Well, anyway, it's selling the best!"

After a while.

Standing at the door of "Unicorn's Embrace", facing the sharp gazes from all directions, Grenville's face turned as red as a balloon.

Grenville, who brought Zoffy here just based on rumors he heard from somewhere and with an attitude of "I know her well", never expected that "Unicorn's Embrace" was actually a store that only sold women's underwear!
Oh my god, how could this be? How could there be only a store that sells this kind of thing!

The goods here are so limited, is there really no problem with the business?
Just when Grenville, who felt like an alien, had a buzzing head, he heard a familiar voice again, even though he met acquaintances wherever he went that day.

"C-Cadet Grenville?"
