Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 224 Charlotte and Wayne
Ritas couldn't understand what was happening at all.

However, he could roughly imagine what would happen next.

Sure enough, he soon heard what sounded like "waaaaaah!" coming from Xia Luoluo's side.

"You bastards! What are you doing in the middle of the road in broad daylight?!"

After making up a random excuse, Charlotte angrily took out a magic wand.

Who says Xia Luoluo only inherited the "Sword Saint's" magical talent? Didn't she also inherit the Elson family's characteristic irrationality when angry?
Perhaps because he didn't take Charlotte's magic seriously, Ritas was still harboring resentment towards her.

In an instant, the air pressure emanating from the center of the wand repelled Corténe, who was trying to stop Charlotte from casting her spell, a distance away.

The reason why a student who had failed a year at a magic academy could wield a high-level magic wand that was completely inconsistent with her abilities was simply because her surname was "Elson".

With a rapid incantation, Charlotte began to cast her spell.

Ritas found her spellcasting method somewhat strange. She would raise her wand high above her head and then continuously circle it above her head.

Not only Ritas, but even the Goddess of Bath, who only had about half a year of experience with magic, noticed that there was something wrong with Charlotte's way of casting spells.

Because of her waving of the wand, the magic she creates only appears above the wand, in mid-air. Charlotte, who needs to keep her eyes on her opponent while casting, clearly doesn't have the time to judge the formation of her own magic with her eyes.

It was at this time that the goddess of bathing discovered another strange phenomenon.

That is, Ritas was also muttering incantations.

It's perfectly normal for a mage to be able to chant, but the Goddess of Bath was already used to Ritas casually waving his hand and conjuring a series of spells with ease.

Therefore, Ritas had no choice but to chant. Did he intend to use some kind of powerful magic on his adopted sister after having a biological sister, and kill her mercilessly?!
Aside from her initial surprise, the Bathing Goddess is now completely enjoying herself.

The next moment, the goddess of bathing noticed another strange phenomenon occurring in the room. Upon closer listening, she could tell that the incantation Ritas was chanting was basically similar to the incantation Charlotte was chanting, but there were also some discrepancies.

Furthermore, as the chanting continued, whether it was Ritas's intention or Charlotte's chanting was influenced, the two chants, with subtle changes in rhythm, tone, tempo, and content, gradually merged perfectly together.

The result of the two chants coinciding was that the ice blocks that Xia Luoluo had previously condensed above her head instantly melted into water with a "whoosh," falling vertically like a waterfall and soaking Xia Luoluo, who was holding up her magic wand to cast a spell, completely drenched.

Chanting is destructive.

The only reason a monk who has never chanted before would suddenly start chanting is because he is doing something special.

After disrupting Charlotte's magic, Ritas's first reaction was regret. His students weren't present. Otherwise, they would have had a much deeper understanding of the lecture notes from the recent "Intermediate Magic" course.

No matter how large the scale, magic that is not elaborate enough is so easily destroyed, altered, and stolen.

Immediately after being temporarily removed from his role as "mentor," he realized that he had probably caused trouble.
While splashing water may not cause much actual harm, the sudden chill can be quite devastating to a person's mental state. Not to mention, Xia Luoluo didn't just get splashed; a large glob of water was poured directly over her entire body.

At this moment, Xia Luoluo, soaked to the bone and utterly devoid of fighting spirit, slumped to the ground, tilted her head back, and let out a cry that sounded exceptionally heart-wrenching.

If I had to say there was any good news...

That was the messy hair that had fought with Charlotte throughout the entire journey, which finally became "obedient" after being soaked.

It all sounds like a long story, but in reality it only takes a minute or two to happen.

If Ritas from six months ago saw Ritas now, he would be amazed by how fast he reacts.

However, being too fast to react isn't always a good thing.
Within minutes, Ritas's head seemed to have grown several sizes larger than before. After taking a few deep breaths, his mind cleared up.

He immediately realized that when he interrupted Xia Luoluo's chanting earlier, he had subconsciously used his hand to protect the black-haired woman in his arms. In other words, he was now in a posture where he was holding her with one arm.

Perhaps sensing that her "brother" was protecting her, the black-haired woman tightened her arms around Ritas's waist.

This scene seems even harder to explain.

On one side was Charlotte, who was slumped on the ground, constantly banging her wand, and Cortriene, who looked somewhat bewildered.

On the other side, there was a strange girl with all sorts of messy "brother and sister" matters, which she didn't even have time to inquire about.

"Commander? This...this...anyway, welcome back. Ah, well, 'come back' doesn't quite fit!"

Amidst the gloating laughter emanating from the white disc, Ritas could barely make out the chirping of the carrier pigeons.

Thinking back, for some reason, Xia Luoluo seemed to have called the black-haired girl "Wei Yin" as well.

So, this suddenly appearing "sister" is none other than Viin, the current number fourteen of the "Darkborn" and the leader of the Third Market Development Team?

Ritas, who had almost calmed down, started to panic again.

What exactly is going on? And where should he put his hands right now?

Just as Ritas was even thinking about whether anyone could help him or buy him some time to sort out the current situation.

A "helper" actually appeared.

With a series of explosions, a sudden sound echoed throughout the Magic Railcar station, and thick gray smoke began to spread widely.

Unlike before, when Charlotte and Ritas had their "magical duel," the onlookers were still quite entertained.

As the explosions continued, people screamed and began to flee.

Visitors who have just arrived in Spring City from out of town probably cannot comprehend the immense fear that witnessing the city's iconic building explode into the sky has planted in the hearts of Spring City's residents.

"Kurt!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Xia Luoluo!"

Although we don't know what's going on, getting out of the smoke area is definitely the right thing to do.

After watching Cortriene carry Charlotte away, Ritas was somewhat at a loss as to how to "deal with" Captain Wayne, who seemed to have grown onto him.

In short, let's put on a few layers of shields first.

Just as Ritas reached for the bundle at his waist with his hand that wasn't holding the disc, Wayne, who had been holding him tightly, finally let go.

Wayne placed her slightly cold hand on the back of Ritas's hand.

"Although I have many things I want to say to my brother, it seems that I have encountered an obstacle. But it doesn't matter. Now that we have met, nothing can separate us again."

A soft, almost whispering voice rang out in Ritas's arms, and Ritas could almost feel Vain's breath.

"I won't cause any trouble for my elder brother. So, it's just a matter of waiting for now."

Before Ritas could ask what Wayne was saying without permission, his vision suddenly began to spiral and darken. Sensing something was wrong, before his consciousness completely faded, Ritas used his last strength to flick the white disc in his hand further away with his fingertips.

With the sound of the disc hitting the ground, Ritas's consciousness vanished completely into darkness.

"Huh? Hu ...

Amidst the sudden and shocking turn of events, the goddess of bathing, who had fallen onto the disc on the ground, could only cry out in surprise.

She could hardly believe what she had just seen.

Ritas is of average build for an adult male, or perhaps slightly taller.

And this Ritas, as if folded, was stuffed into the open suitcase next to Wayne.

In the ensuing chaos, no one noticed when the suitcase had been opened.

After loading Ritas, Wayne closed the suitcase. Then, she lifted the suitcase, which was only slightly above her knees, with both hands, spun it around a few times, and then threw it far away like a hammer.

"Little Li—!"

The goddess of the bath, who had previously only been gloating, now seemed to finally realize just how dangerous the high-ranking "Darkborn" were.

After Vain threw the suitcase containing Ritas far away, a figure slowly emerged from the billowing gray smoke.

It was a strange man wearing a large gas mask on his head and a magician's cloak on his body.

Before the goddess of bathing could remain puzzled for long, Wayne revealed the identity of the person who had caused the disturbance.

"'Fireworks maker'."

"Welcome to Spring City, 'Daughter of Original Sin'. Do you like the way I greeted you?"

As the "fireworks maker" made a gesture of spreading his hands, the inside of his slightly open cloak revealed a dazzling array of colorful, jewel-like objects.

"Isn't this a bit too small a scale for the 'fireworks maker' to welcome him?"

Unlike the soft, gentle voice she used when speaking to Ritas, Wayne's voice, standing upright and facing the "fireworks maker," was filled with coldness and harshness.

"There's no way around it; in this city, you're likely to be targeted by a terrifying gaze. So, if you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better keep a low profile."

On the other hand, the sound emitted by the fireworks maker through his gas mask-like hood was so artificially enhanced that no detail could be discerned.

As for the Goddess of Bathing, the more someone tries to conceal their identity, the more curious she becomes about who they are. Furthermore, she happens to possess the ability to pass through objects, so she flew towards the Fireworks Maker with great curiosity.

"Who exactly is provoking this?"

hum-

boom!
Just as the fireworks maker was provoking her, and despite being behind in the number, Wayne did not back down in the slightest.

A green stone on the firework artist's body suddenly emitted a buzzing sound. The firework artist reacted quickly enough, immediately throwing a colored stone, which caused a small but extremely powerful explosion between her and Wayne.

"Strange. There's nothing there? Is that your ability?"

The fireworks maker seemed somewhat bewildered as he stared at the charred crater left by the explosion.

Unbeknownst to her, a self-proclaimed "goddess" from another world was trembling with fear as the colored stone exploded right in the center of her illusory body, even forgetting to breathe.

"What exactly have you been saying since before?"

"Oh? Are you going to pretend you don't know? Then I guess you'll also pretend you have no idea where the 'two-way' sin mark is. Right?"

Even from the sounds of processing, one could detect the displeasure in the fireworks maker's tone.

"."

“Because the ‘company’ needs us to complete a task together, your ‘sinful blood’ can be temporarily stored. As long as you hand over the ‘two-way’ sin mark, I can let you go during the work period.”

Faced with the firework maker's overbearing demands, Wayne, known as the "Daughter of Original Sin," remained silent.

Because she genuinely didn't know what the other person was saying.

However, she was also very clear that the "Darkborn" was not an organization that would be accepted simply by her honestly saying "I don't know".

So, after closing her eyes for a moment and then opening them again, Wayne simply said one thing to the fireworks maker.
"Since we're going to cause trouble here, let's go somewhere else."

As Wayne's words fell, the Bathing Goddess, who had shrunk to a great distance, saw the strange people of the "Third Market Development Team" appearing from various corners around her.

First, it was a carrier pigeon, then he, or rather she, transformed into a woman dressed in a black butler's uniform.

The young woman, her face contorted with murderous intent, adjusted her monocle as the black cat leaped onto her right shoulder, transforming into a jet-black armored scythe—half armor, half blade—that merged with her arm.

Unlike the carrier pigeon and the black cat, which undergo complete transformations, the unicorn only changes its color to jet black and grows an extra horn, transforming into a ferocious two-horned beast.

As for the final Tin Man, his body suddenly swelled several times its original size, flattening his legs below and turning him into a huge square iron house.

As the iron house door opened automatically, a chaotic scene, like a black vortex, slowly swirled inside.

Wayne pointed to the door of the iron house, then picked up a single suitcase from the ground.

After taking a couple of steps with her suitcase, Vivian suddenly stiffened for a moment, only returning to normal when she changed her walking posture to carrying the suitcase with both hands.

First, Wayne, the carrier pigeon, and the unicorn slowly walked into the Chaos Gate of the Iron House. Then, the Fireworker, who seemed unconcerned about Wayne's display of power, also followed into the Chaos Gate and disappeared.

Finally, the Gate of Chaos emitted a powerful suction force, drawing in everything around it, including itself.

With the departure of the two high-ranking members of the "Darkin," the gray smoke dissipated. The chaos at the Magic Railcar station gradually subsided.

A short while later, a suitcase next to a building suddenly opened on its own.

As if by magic, an adult male several times larger than the suitcase itself "emerged" from it.

After sitting on the ground for a while, until his dizzying vision finally returned to normal, Ritas stood up and bent down to brush the dust off his clothes.

Ritas let out a long breath, looking at the almost deserted surroundings and the inevitable mess, and frowned.

If I remember correctly, he only came to pick up Xia Luoluo today.
So, why did things turn out this way?
