Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 229 Kaleidoscope

The college exchange meeting officially began the day after an opening ceremony deliberately included by a certain dean.

On the first day of the exchange meeting, preliminary rounds of many competitive events were in full swing.

The competition events at the exchange meeting share a common characteristic: if the specific activity isn't readily apparent from the name, then the event likely has a long history, such as "Illusion Garden Creation" and "Elemental Drawing." Conversely, if the activity's name is immediately self-explanatory, then it's a relatively new event, such as "Academic Debate."

Incidentally, the project "Illusion Garden Creation" involves students cultivating plants and other things in an empty courtyard within a set time to transform it into a garden. This is a traditional strength of the "Obsidian Magic Tower."

"Elemental Drawing" is actually a form of rhythmic gymnastics. Currently, the Royal Magic Academy of Blasche holds a terrifying ten-consecutive-championship record.

Incidentally, while the Brasche Royal Magic Academy is nominally only open to members of royal families from various countries on the continent, at least during the academy exchange meetings, Brasche's main force consists of attendant students who accompany royal family members to the academy.

"So, according to you, Magic Ball is actually the most intense event at the academy exchange meeting?"

According to the Goddess of Bathing, the two academy exchange events in the "Star Pattern" game were "cut-down versions." There were only four competitions for players to choose from.

However, it now seems that the full version of the academy exchange meeting was not much more interesting than the censored version.

"Yes, overall this is an event conducted for the purpose of academic exchange. If the Goddess of Bath expects it to be like a grand sports event, she may be quite disappointed."

As Ritas spoke, he casually gave the goddess of bathing a little background information.
"In the past, there was a program where riders would fight while riding mythical beasts. But as injuries and deaths among trainees became more frequent, it was either discontinued or changed to other programs."

"Casualties. After hearing your example, I think I understand why these projects have become so peaceful."

No matter how magic evolves, its inherent dangers will always remain. And in the academy's competition, injuries or fatalities would be far too difficult to manage.

"By the way, what's the current status of the 'riding mythical beasts' activity?"

"Obstacle course".

"Tsk, that's extreme enough."

The goddess of the bath said so, but she still asked about the specific time of the mythical beast obstacle course, planning to pay her a proper visit in a few days.

"While I can certainly understand it, all the other events are the same, no wonder there are so many spectators at the Magic Ball event."

Currently, Ritas and the Goddess of Bath are near the venue of the Magic Ball qualifiers. As far as the eye can see, the surrounding area is completely crowded with people, a sea of ​​people, a dark mass.

"College exchange meetings are not something for people to watch."

Ritas frowned slightly.

There were far too many visitors at this college exchange meeting.

Although Livis did not break the usual rules of the academy exchange meeting, she only allowed "relevant personnel" from each academy to enter Erles Academy during the exchange meeting.

However, the scope of this "related person" is obviously extremely flexible. As long as one is determined, it is not difficult to sneak into it.

The increase in outsiders at the college has undoubtedly increased the pressure on security.

It wasn't just the Root Law Division that was supposed to be responsible for these matters. The Crown Council and many temporarily reassigned teachers and staff were also doing their utmost to maintain the normal operation of the college.

Ritas wasn't assigned any tasks outside his official duties. But the more free he was now, the more he felt that his "beloved" teacher was going to do something big to him in a few days.

As part of his duties, if members of the Bathing Seminar or members of the Yewwood Class participate in some competitions at the Exchange Meeting in their own name, Ritas is required to accompany them.

Just like now.

Those currently participating in the Magic Ball competition preliminaries are not members of the Bathing Seminar. However, the new Magic Ball Seminar is currently in a rather awkward position within Erles Academy.

Because of Malik Ezan, the Magic Ball Seminar became a temporary taboo at the academy, and no one wanted to risk it. Therefore, the new Magic Ball Seminar, lacking advisors and struggling even to register, sought help everywhere and finally turned to Ritas.

Looking at the two members of the Purplewood Class at the New Magic Ball Seminar, Ritas considered it carefully and finally agreed to temporarily register them during the exchange meeting.

It seems that since the magic ball teams are all composed of elementary school freshmen, they won't go very far in the competition. So it won't take much time.
?
A cheer erupted from the Magic Stadium.

Wherever they go, the eye-catching plus-size pink girl excitedly lifts the petite red-haired lady high in comparison, celebrating their latest victory.

"Elise and her team have won three consecutive matches, so they've basically secured their place in the finals."

"yes."

Ritas couldn't help but scratch his head.

This isn't quite what I expected.
In the team battles of the Magic Ball Arena, each academy sends two teams. As expected, Erls's freshman team suffered a disastrous losing streak and was eliminated early. But Elise and Charlotte's team seems to be quite strong?

After the match ended, Elise and Charlotte's opponents were still stunned on the field.

"Are they really playing Moneyball?"

The magic ball player from the Obsidian Magic Tower looked somewhat dazed as he sought advice from his teammates. His teammates, however, simply shook their heads with subtle expressions.

In some ways, are the players from Erles the ones who truly "play" Magical Ball?
Let's not even mention the student who was throwing the magic ball around with his bare hands; he looked like a mountain. And that red-haired student didn't play by the rules of the magic ball at all!

In the final strike, the red-haired student leaped high into the air, stepping directly onto the pink-haired student's shoulder. When the Obsidian Magic Tower contestants looked up to see the opponent's movements, they discovered that the opponent had somehow overlapped with the sun in mid-air.

So dazzling!
The Obsidian Magic Tower player had just had this thought when, without knowing whether his opponent used his hand or something else, he physically "hit" the magic ball towards him like a meteor.

then
That was the end of it. With him being the last one eliminated, the Erles Academy team scored ten points and won the match.

"Let's go, don't be discouraged, we still have a chance. It's good to realize how vast the world is through this game. Remember what the coach said."

"Ailingo ball is a friend!" "Ailingo ball is a friend!"

"That's right! So, we will definitely be the ultimate winners!"

The three Obsidian Magic Tower players encouraged each other and walked out of the Magic Tower arena with determined expressions.

"I feel like the art style over there is a bit different."

"If they hadn't already lost three straight, I would have believed them."

Since the qualifiers for Magic Ball are a group stage format with five teams advancing to the next two, a team that suffers three consecutive losses is practically eliminated.

Around the same time as the Obsidian Magic Tower contestants, Erls' team also stepped off the field. Elise, Charlotte, and a girl from Blue Tide Class who was full of energy on the field but somewhat shy off the field, each gave a high-five to Ritas, who only had the air of a "capable and handsome leader" on the sidelines.

Although Ritas wasn't an expert in Modric, he did have good observation skills and a broad perspective. So, after briefly commenting on the three players' performance, they turned their attention to the other side of the court.

Only after both sides have finished their matches will the next round of matches begin after a short interval.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, a match is currently underway between the second team of the Arigold Magic Academy and the first team of the Bayano Military Magic Academy.

At this point, Arigold Magic Academy was down 2-9, and two of its three members had been knocked out of the field, meaning they had virtually no hope of winning.

Perhaps due to a mental breakdown, one of the female players from Arigold Academy, after being knocked out of the inner arena, did not wait in the outer arena to coordinate with her teammates. Instead, she was unable to hide her sadness and wiped away tears while being comforted by their coach.

"So many people are watching, don't cry! Losing isn't your fault. Your opponent is a seventh-grader auntie, almost as old as me. There's nothing anyone can do! Their behavior is no different from cheating, and I will formally protest to the Moneyball Association!"

The young coach from Arigold College kept patting the contestant on the shoulder and back to cheer her up.

Meanwhile, at the same four-year military magic academy, the absurdly-sounding seventh-grade student smugly waved his wand and sent the magic ball flying to the other side of the field.

At one point, the seventh-grade player caught Ritas's gaze, and then, as if forgetting that he was still on the field, glared fiercely at Ritas.

"."

In every sense, Ritas wanted to pretend that he had never known Charlotte Elson.

Unexpectedly, after the farce at the Magic Rail Station, Ritas, who had been trying his best to avoid Charlotte, would meet her again in this way.

In that instant, Xia Luoluo seemed to care about nothing else, only glaring at Ritas across the court with gritted teeth. If it weren't for the nets in between, she probably would have rushed over to settle the score with Ritas.

Charlotte's gaze remained fixed on her until Ritas slightly opened his mouth and said to her, "Be careful!"

careful?

What are you being careful about?
She, Xia Luoluo, would never do that!

She would absolutely not look in the direction Ritas was pointing.
Instantly, gasps of surprise erupted around the Magic Ball court.

Because they saw the magic ball accurately hit a young woman's cheek, sending her flying through the air in a twirl.

While anything can happen on the Moneyball court, it's truly rare to see an Ellingo ball hit someone so precisely in the face that half of their face is completely dented.

While it's true that the Magic Ball doesn't hurt much when it hits someone, the Ellinger Ball's accuracy in hitting someone's face is still remarkable.
Unlike the two flustered players on the field, two men surnamed Elson on the sidelines simultaneously raised their hands to their foreheads.

"Your adopted sister."

“I’ll say it again, she is just my adoptive father’s daughter.”

Because of its many uses, Ritas is becoming increasingly reliant on this phrase.

Aside from the fact that the outstanding performance of a certain player has cast a shadow over the traditional event of the college exchange meeting, the Magic Ball competition, which may be changed to the "Magic Ball Relay Race,"...

Overall, the first day of the college exchange meeting went very smoothly.

Besides Magic Ball, four other programs at Earls Academy have also advanced to the finals after passing the preliminary rounds.

One of the projects, called "Mirror Room Search," saw Erles Academy's contestant achieve first place in the preliminary rounds and is expected to win the championship in the finals.

As for the Magic Ball competition itself, apart from Elise and Charlotte's team Ers and Charlotte's team Bayano, the other two teams in the final round came from the Blascher Royal Magic Academy.

It's clear that although the players of Obsidian Magic Tower all wanted to be friends with Ellingo, Ellingo rejected them.

In the evening after all the events had ended, Ritas arrived at the venue for the bathing seminar.

Upon entering, Ritas saw Associate Professor Seren, who, although the formalities were not yet completed, had officially returned to the "Tree Witch Research Institute" and joined the Bathing Seminar.

The day before, after settling Serian in, Ritas introduced Serian to the members of the bathing seminar in the evening.

That day, Serena wore a dress with a wider, longer, more elegant skirt, which was also more suitable for the season. Seeing that Serena hadn't caused any trouble upon arriving at the seminar and seemed to be adapting well to the environment, Ritas was relieved.
Wait!
Ritas felt something was off about the bulge at the hem of Serian's skirt, and heard a "whoa~" sound coming from inside.

If I'm not mistaken, that should be Tabasha's voice.

What was Tabata doing under Serian's skirt?
"Mercy~ Come quick~ It's really like a kaleidoscope~"

Not far away, Melsie, who had come closer, didn't seem to notice Ritas at first, and then she also crawled under Serian's skirt.

"Wow!"

"What...what are you doing?!"

During the bathing seminar, Noah, a rare normal person, ran up to Serenity's skirt and flew into a rage.

She seemed to be trying to drag Melcy out, but instead, she was dragged in by Tabasha instead.

then.

"Wow!"

Serena's dress is quite spacious.
"What's happening over there?! I want to go too! I want to go too! Take me with you, please!!!"

"."

A short while later, a "Wow!" sound came from the white disc that had also been "eaten" by the skirt.

"I discussed the 'star pattern' with the students, and then tried to develop my ability a little. Now, I can emit very colorful and layered colors. Professor Ritas, would you like to check it?"

Looking at Ritas, whose face was somewhat ashen, Serenity, who stood there as if nothing had happened, smiled and asked. Then she glanced down at her large, bulging skirt.
"It might be a bit crowded."

"Let's talk about it another day."

Ritas's eyebrow twitched.

Only a day had passed, and he was already starting to regret recruiting Serian back.
