Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 208 Substitute Teacher
Returning to the outskirts of the World Tree Labyrinth again, looking at the figures vaguely appearing in the distance, the Bathing Goddess announced the new function of the "Church System" that she discovered during this operation.

"To put it simply, it's a call for help function. When our side becomes 'red', I can send a call for help to other 'branches'. Once they receive it, something like a small map of both sides will appear, making it easier for me to guide them."

The time was almost right now, and Merci was already fast asleep so there was no need to worry, so the Bathing Goddess simply told him everything.

"Branch?"

Ritas was a little confused by this word.

"Yes, it's the branch. Because I found that the only person I can send a request for help to is Mari. It must be because she has the 'Card Draw Module' in her hand, so this is the case, right?"

The Bathing Goddess's inference might be a bit arbitrary, but Ritas couldn't think of a more suitable reason for the time being.

"Come to think of it, I saw something very noteworthy in An's old home. But, well, let's wait until you are in better spirits before we talk about it. I'm afraid you will have a stroke if I tell you now. After all, why is the new function added to this church system to be the one to call people? As expected, has this system been influenced by you? It has also started to talk about the 'magician's way'."

The Bathing Goddess muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly.

At this moment, the "reinforcements" called by the Bathing Goddess also appeared belatedly.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the huge snow-white cat, and the black nun Mary is riding on the white cat, and on the top of her head there is an existence that puzzles both Ritas and the Bathing Goddess.

homing pigeon.

“Why would he?”

"Lady Bathing Goddess~Lord Pope~Although we don't know what the situation is, we are here to save you! So, where is our opponent!"

The black nun looked a little nervous, and she held her hands in front of her, making a move that was more like a funny gesture than a battle stance. Above her head, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings as if it wanted to make some bold statement, but when it saw the "outsider" present, it just cooed twice.

Looking at these "reinforcements" who were undoubtedly out of the situation, Ritas looked at the white disc in his hand with a complicated expression.

The bathing goddess, who could only call for such a "helper", might have felt a little ashamed, so she just remained silent.

"Goddess of Bath, have you ever thought that even if we didn't encounter the members of the Dark Elves, they would just suffer with us if they came here, and it wouldn't improve the current situation?"

".Don't ask!"

Just as Ritas was "questioning" the goddess of bathing, another head popped out from behind the black nun Mary.

It was a figure so small that it was basically completely obscured by Mary's body.

".We should have told you that in advance! I wasn't a coward at that time, I just reacted slowly!"

Noah frowned and said this the first time she saw Ritas. Before Ritas could understand what she was saying, she immediately panicked when she saw Merci sleeping on An's back.

"S-So, what happened here? Is Merci okay?"

"."

What on earth are these people here for?

For a moment, listening to the many noises that began to appear around him at the same time, Ritas felt a headache, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

anyway
"Five, Four"

"What is Lady Bathing Goddess counting?"

In any case, seeing these familiar faces meant that this brief abnormality was finally over and he could return to his daily life.

"Three, two"

Therefore, let these guys who don't understand the situation do something.

"one"

As the countdown of the Bathing Goddess ended, Ritas, who finally no longer had to be on edge, swayed and fell to the ground, falling asleep.

Although his fall caused a panic again, at least he didn't have to listen to it anymore.

It was September, autumn.

At Earls Higher School of Magic, the students of the Yew Fir class have been feeling a little uneasy these days.

At first, it was the assistant tutor of the Yew Fir class who brought them the sad news.

"Since Professor Ritas's whereabouts are unknown these days, I will take his place and teach you these few days."

"Whereabouts unknown!?"

Kraft Schneizer, a student from Yew Fir Wood who had not yet fully assimilated into all aspects, stood up and slammed the table, speaking loudly in astonishment.

What surprised him more than the fact that their class mentor disappeared in the middle of the semester was the "Oh, here we go again" attitude of the members of the Yew Fir class.

"Cadet Miriam, Cadet Grenville! What's your attitude? The professor is missing!"

Kraft turned around and looked at the two boys sitting in the back row. His words sounded like reproaches, but they were actually inquiries.

"Although in reality, professors are definitely more present during the semester. But physically, it feels like the professors are absent more often during the semester. Don't worry, Kraft, you'll get used to it in a few months."

Since they basically lived together during the semester, Miriam was the one most used to Ritas disappearing every few days.

"That's right, don't be so surprised, Cara. The professor has his own life too. You have to learn to respect that."

A professor’s life is to teach us, okay!

Looking at Grenville's tough face, Kraft seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times, but finally sat down.

After Kraft sat down, Iris, who was sitting near him, raised her hand.

"What's up? Cadet Elise."

Adeline, who was standing in front of the podium, asked by name.

"Student Mercy is also absent today, so I would like to ask Teacher Adeline if she knows the specific situation."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that, Cadet Mercy. She disappeared with the professor, so there won't be any problems."

""

Kraft, who had just sat down, almost stood up again.

We disappeared together, so there won't be any problem.
Why did he suddenly have trouble understanding the common language of the mainland?

"Well, since there are no more questions, let's start today's class. In the morning, we will be teaching the course "History of Magic."

As the course began normally, almost all the students accepted Adeline's words and calmed down. Only Kraft was still confused, wondering if the problem was with this class or with himself.

And rightfully so, the reason the Yewwood class felt uncomfortable was not because their mentor was absent.

But this time, during the absence of Ritas, Adeline actually taught them well. In the afternoon, Adeline even did not skip work to have afternoon tea!

What makes the students even more "uncomfortable" is that Adeline's courses are of very high quality and level.

Besides this, as a teacher, Adeline possessed something that Ritas was destined not to possess.

Ritas, who has been unable to learn since childhood, even though he thinks he has lowered his perspective to the level of a normal person, it is ultimately a genius perspective.

Therefore, Ritas is actually unable to deal with truly poor students very well.

For example, a certain "lady". Because Xia Lu usually doesn't make trouble in class, and always looks calm, as if she has everything planned out.

Therefore, even Ritas did not realize that this girl had been secretly "playing bad" for quite a long time.

If I had to say, Xia Lu was the type who "liked being a student at a magic academy sitting in the classroom." Therefore, she basically didn't care about what she was learning, whether she could learn it, whether she wanted to learn it, and so on.

This meant that while she was listening to the lecture with a smile on her face, completely different things were running through her mind.

Adeline had noticed this a long time ago, so she often "took care" of Xia Lu these days, sometimes asking her to answer questions, sometimes leaving special topics for her, and sometimes asking her to review the content of the previous class on behalf of others.

Although this also made Xia Lu's smile towards Adeline a little more dangerous, but if nothing else, at least Xia Lu had mastered the content of the past few days.

Even though other students' feelings towards Adeline were not as direct as Xia Lu's, in just a few days, they realized that Adeline could actually be a careful "good teacher" who was different from Ritas.

Then, just as the students’ initial discomfort began to subside.

A new day came. They arrived at class on time and saw their long-missed classmate Merci, as well as the maid with one wing who stood on the podium in place of Adeline.

"Please don't mind, the one-winged maid costume is just a personal interest."

"."

The silent classroom represented that no one in the classroom had ever heard of such a thing as a "single-wing maid outfit".

"Professor Ritas is in the hospital for some reason. In the next few days, I will take over the professor's place and teach you all."

"Hospitalization!?"

Kraft, who had slammed the table again, turned around and had a conversation with Miriam and Grenville that seemed to have happened a few days ago.

Feeling his classmates' indifferent attitude again, Kraft held his head and began to doubt his life.

So, disappearance and hospitalization are really part of the daily life of a professor of magic and a grade mentor?

Is this college really okay?

Why didn't he drop out of school?
Kraft, who had wanted to sit down, suddenly found something new to make trouble.

"No! It's fine for Teacher Adeline to teach us instead of the professor. After all, she is an assistant tutor recognized and approved by the professor himself. We have no complaints about the professor's choice. But, Ms. An, forgive me for being blunt. You are not qualified to teach us instead of anyone else!"

Looking at Kraft with a stern face and a straight back, An's expression remained expressionless.

He is really as stubborn as the rumors say. Moreover, he also possesses an inexplicable drive.

Since the end of the summer vacation, An had started to prepare for entering the World Tree Labyrinth. Therefore, An had never met Kraft in a formal setting, and his impression of him came entirely from rumors and the evaluation of a certain professor.

"Excuse me, what exactly do you mean by 'qualifications'? If it's the teaching qualifications required by the magic academy, I have passed the corresponding exams and selections, and have the necessary certificates and qualification documents. As for the qualifications of a substitute lecturer, the academy should also have all the corresponding procedures. I will not waste your time out of personal interest and hobbies."

Ann gazed at Kraft with a calm gaze.

"As for whether your level and ability as a teacher are up to standard, do we need to make a judgment during the course? If you agree with my point of view, please return to your seat for the time being."

"That's rude."

Faced with Ann's emotionless remarks, Kraft, who had long been unable to bear it, sat back dejectedly.

He has always been a person who just speaks loudly at the beginning and doesn't really think about what to do next.

And just like that, An's course officially began.

On this day, the Yewwood class's course was "Magic Practice".

As this is a practical class that is only conducted in the classroom and is more theoretical, An adopted a question-and-answer approach.

In the process of performing magic, even the most outstanding students will encounter various difficulties and obstacles. And because of the mystery and uncertainty inherent in magic, they often don't know why his magic has this or that problem. Or why his magic was different from the past only that time.

What An needs to do is to answer all the students' questions and sort out the various knowledge on the use of magic that the students have acquired so far.

As a hidden "great wizard", it can be said that An is more than capable of solving the problems encountered by the elementary students.

So, watching other students get answers that either enlightened them or made them breathe a sigh of relief, Kraft, who was really taking this class with a "scrutinizing" attitude, couldn't help but raise his own problems in using magic.

And as if she really had no emotional fluctuations or likes and dislikes, when faced with Kraft who had previously questioned her, Ann also gave comprehensive, serious and thorough answers and suggestions.

Seeing that Kraft looked somewhat satisfied, Ann asked,

"Excuse me, do you have any other questions, Cadet Kraft?"

"No more. Thank you very much for your advice and answers, Mr. An."

Generally speaking, Kraft, who was not dissatisfied with An personally but was concerned about the matter, agreed with the level of "Teacher An" and spoke frankly.

then
"In that case, please stand in the hallway, Cadet Kraft."

".Eh?"

Kraft was caught off guard and finally went to stand in the corridor as punishment.

A long corridor and a lonely figure.

Fortunately, after Kraft had been standing in the corridor for a while, a figure came up to accompany him.

"Student Miriam? You also contradicted Teacher An?"

Hearing Kraft's question, Miriam sighed helplessly.

"No. I just really want to know how to balance the gelatinization of flour and the emulsification of butter when making cream soup to ensure that the soup is thick and smooth without any powdery texture or abrupt oil-water separation."

".What the hell is wrong with you?"

In this way, the students of Yew Fir School spent a week in the absence of the professor, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar, and feeling both unfamiliar and familiar.

Weekend night.

In the academy's treatment center, which had almost become his second home, Ritas slowly opened his eyes.

Wherever he looked, he saw the familiar ceiling. And when he tilted his head, he saw the familiar white disc.

"Ah, Xiao Li. The visitors in the ward have changed one after another, but in the end, the one who can capture the moment you wake up is still me, a beautiful girl JK!"

"."

"Hey? Stop closing your eyes and pretending to be asleep, okay? I just saw you open your eyes!"

Knowing he couldn't escape, Ritas sighed and slowly sat up.

"Since we are all used to such scenes, then you, Goddess of Bath, know what I want to ask."

"Then you know what I will answer."

The Bathing Goddess said this in a sorrowful and deep voice with an overly stiff acting.

"I forgot the beginning, and I forgot the end. Anyway, it's been three years."
