Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 34: The One Who Knows Destiny

At first, Ritas thought that the Bathing Goddess was just having a daily illness and would recover after a period of time.

However, after being pestered for most of the day, by the evening, Ritas finally confirmed that the other party was serious.

"Bath Goddess, I need to make this clear once again. In Earls College, it is against the rules for faculty and staff to poach students from other grades."

In Earls' long history, there was a period when competition was encouraged. During that period, almost everything in each class was compared, in order to compete for the best class.

A good school class cannot be without excellent students.

As a result, various tutors, assistants, etc., showed off their talents there, making the whole college a mess.

No matter how noble the students' origins and status are, it is actually very difficult for them to resist adults with ulterior motives in the academy.

Moreover, in order to attract students to join them, the instructors offer various benefits and superior treatment, which also makes the positions and relationships between teachers and students become very strange.

In the end, faced with a chaotic college environment where everyone seemed like an enemy, Earls College had no choice but to revise its school rules.

At present, the rule that only the best students in each grade can transfer grades is also an extension of that time.

"Then why did Miriam poach so easily in the game? If you don't click 'poach' as the first option after greeting other students, you don't deserve to play this game!"

"Is it possible that Miriam is just a trainee? His behavior doesn't count as a violation?"

Ritas said helplessly.

"Moreover, if you think about it carefully, it is inexplicable that students would spontaneously poach students from other grades. Not to mention whether students have an obligation to work hard for the "future" of the entire grade. Recruiting outstanding students from their own grade is actually of no benefit to the students themselves."

"Perhaps, only in the abnormal environment of the "Star Mark" game world, where the instructors leave at the beginning of the school year and the subsequent temporary instructors do not want to take care of things, can there be abnormal students who poach talents everywhere. However, the situation of the Yew Fir class is already so bad. Poaching students from other classes is itself a very irresponsible act."

"ah"

The Bathing Goddess was stunned by what she said.

However, although the Bathing Goddess and Ritas could never win the argument, fortunately, she was also never a reasonable person.

“I understand what you’re talking about, Satoshi. But, given the current situation, if you don’t recruit Cecilia, she’ll drop out of school and become a member of the Demon King’s Army.”

"."

Ritas couldn't help but stop.

At this point, he was too lazy to even ask "why". Compared to the confusion on Engel's side, Cecilia, who had such a strange family background as a bandit noble, would surely "fall" into the dark side of the world sooner or later as long as she dropped out of school and returned to her family.

"Let me tell you about the general development of Cecilia's route. Generally speaking, the Engel route and Cecilia route, which are triggered at the beginning of the first semester, are both tutorials for the game system. Their plots are all related to the seminar, and can be said to be tutorials for the 'seminar system'. Unlike the Engel route, which focuses on the 'Magic Ball', the tutorial part of the Cecilia route is more comprehensive."

The words of the Bathing Goddess are rare and very organized.

But Ritas always felt that the other party seemed to be reciting something.

“That’s why, after meeting the protagonist, Cecilia will visit dozens of active seminars in the game with the protagonist.”

"Well why?"

Ritas' question immediately ruined the Bathing Goddess's plan.

“Just listen to me! This guide is expensive. Forget it. I don’t know more about Cecilia’s story than someone who writes a guide. You asked Cecilia why she focused on the seminar? You asked the right person. Others might not be able to answer you!”

The Bathing Goddess said excitedly.

"For Cecilia, she came to the academy just to escape from her family. In other words, she has little interest in the academy and magic. In addition, she can easily get the top grades and status. As a result, she usually feels that this academy is boring and academy life is also uninteresting."

"So, going to the seminar with the protagonist is actually a process of Cecilia getting herself interested. Only when Cecilia finds something that interests her and has a reason to stay in the academy, she won't feel that the four years of academy life are like being in prison. It's better to go back to the family and compete with the family. I think the reason why Cecilia disappeared quietly after choosing the Engel route is because she was bored and didn't want to stay in the academy."

The Bathing Goddess said so.

And Ritas listened, frowning as always.

Why does it sound like Cecilia has a bad personality?

Although the removal process was a bit unfair to her, the actual result was "Because college life was too boring, I joined the Demon King's Army as a cadre."

Moreover, Cecilia is so talented that she thinks learning magic is so boring that it would lead to jail time?
Ritas, who completed his studies in just over a year and a half as a student, has never felt this way.

"Anyway, since you triggered Cecilia's plot, if you push it to Miriam now, he probably won't be able to gain Cecilia's trust. So, you should take the responsibility to accompany her to choose seminars and make her willing to stay in the academy."

"Otherwise, Cecilia will drop out of school and become a cadre of the Demon King's army. You will be upset by that."

"As for when Cecilia finds Chenghui's class annoying and transfers to your class, just like in the original plot, hehehehe, I know you didn't take the initiative to dig her out, but whether the people in the academy believe it or not depends on your own ability."

Listening to the words of the Bathing Goddess, Ritas's always tense cheeks twitched slightly.

Walking on the way back to the dormitory mansion, the bathing goddess went to take a bath again.

Without any noisy sounds in his ears to affect his judgment, Ritas was naturally still thinking about Cecilia.

He still felt that Cecilia dropped out of school of her own accord and joined the Demon King's Army, and it had nothing to do with him.

By then, Cecilia would have been an adult and no longer a student, so she would have the power to make her own choices and the obligation to be responsible for them.

However, Ritas thought about these things not to cut off from Cecilia's "plot", but more out of a sense of emotion.

Even for someone like him who can use clear principles to draw a line between himself and others, after learning about things like "fate" and "future", he cannot avoid having additional responsibilities that do not belong to him.

Therefore, the ability to peek into other people's fate and predict the future may not be as good as imagined.

Ritas felt that he had learned from a strange place how profound the insights of those researchers in the academic world who had been mediocre all their lives were when they stubbornly said, "knowing too much is not a good thing" and "ignorance is also a kind of bliss."

Before he knew it, he had walked to Ritas near the dormitory mansion and discovered that there were many students gathered around his mansion.

Is it on fire again?

For some reason, Ritas had this thought in his mind, and he breathed a sigh of relief after approaching.

It turned out that the students were marveling at a large object that had appeared in the courtyard of his and Miriam's dormitory. After seeing Ritas appear, the students quickly nodded to the professor and then quickly dispersed.

In the freshman men's dormitory area, Ritas is undoubtedly a celebrity. After all, he is the only instructor who lives in the students' dormitory mansion.

Walking into the yard, Ritas looked at the huge monster standing in the courtyard and sighed softly.

This large item was ordered before his mansion burned down. However, a lot of things happened during this period, and he actually forgot about it for a while.

"Professor Elson, please tell me, is this the three-man gallows of the Godot Dynasty?"

Ritas looked in the direction of the sound and found that among the onlookers, there was a student who did not leave.

It was a brown-haired student wearing square-framed glasses and with very curly hair. Ritas had some impression of him. If he remembered correctly, he should be a student in the Orange Glory class.

"I'm sorry for being so abrupt. Nice to meet you, Professor Elson. My name is Kraft Schneizer."

The male student named Kraft gave Ritas a standard nod as he spoke.

"Hello, Cadet Kraft Schneizer. I am Ritas Elson."

Ritas also responded according to etiquette.

“Student Schneizer, you actually knew that this was a three-person gallows?”

After exchanging names, Ritas asked with some surprise.

At this moment, the large object placed in the courtyard was a three-person gallows.

A regular gallows, although it is also a torture device for executing a prisoner, actually occupies a large area. At least, it cannot be placed in an ordinary house.

The so-called three-person gallows looks like three gallows connected side by side.

Therefore, people who have not studied the gallows will think that there are three gallows in front of them, rather than a three-person gallows.

"Yes, Professor Elson. I have always been very interested in continental history and have read your"

As Kraft spoke, he began to rummage around his waist, and soon revealed an extremely desperate expression, as if silently shouting, "Why didn't I bring it with me today?"

"This is an execution tool created by Akart XI, the last king of the Godo Dynasty, when the Godo Dynasty fell in 837 of the Continental Calendar. There are many different opinions on the reason why this three-person gallows was created. The more powerful one is that the Godo Dynasty was too chaotic when it was destroyed, and there were too many prisoners to be executed. Therefore, in order to pursue efficiency and to consolidate the deterrent power of the kingship, Akart XI created this public execution tool. But in fact, when a dynasty falls, the problem it faces is not something that can be solved by an execution tool or even a king."

Kraft's eyes lit up when he heard Ritas's statement. After listening, he expressed his views on the fallen Godot Dynasty and Acate XI.

Before they knew it, their conversation had lasted nearly an hour.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Kraft tactfully thanked Ritas for his teachings, bowed and left.

Nearly a month after the start of school, it was the first time that Ritas thought, "He is a really good student."

Although he would not actually do anything, he could understand the desire of those instructors to recruit outstanding students to their own grades.

After Kraft walked away, Ritas looked at the three people hanging in front of him and couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

This three-person gallows is, of course, authentic. In other words, if the instruments of torture were not basically authentic, there wouldn't be so many of them in Ritas's collection.

But even if it is true, this broken three-person gallows is of no value.

Because most countries on the continent today still retain the method of execution by hanging. In other words, you can see the gallows no matter which country you go to.

Moreover, this is really just three gallows put together with cheap workmanship, so what cultural relic value can it have?
The most important thing is that this three-person gallows is too big. Was it this big when he bought it before?

If Kraft hadn't been there before, Ritas would have wanted to kneel down on the gallows in front of these three people.

Why should I buy this thing?

Sometimes, Ritas really felt that when buying cultural relics and antiques, he was like being hit from behind with a stick.

Intelligence will, briefly, fly out of the brain.

When we entered the mansion, night had already fallen completely.

Ritas was wondering why the mansion was so dark, then he turned on the magic lamp and saw Miriam sitting with her head down in the living room on the first floor.

He looked extremely lost.

After stopping and thinking about it, perhaps the shock of signing for the three people to be hanged made Miriam quite depressed. Ritas sorted out his words and said,
"Good evening, Cadet Miriam. Don't worry about the three-person gallows in the yard. I will move it as soon as possible. During the period when it is not moved, I will also find a way to make it less conspicuous. As for other aspects, don't worry about them. The gallows and the stepping platform are separate. Therefore, unless you take the initiative to install the stepping platform, or jump high and put your neck into it, the gallows will not be dangerous."

"Professor Aritas, welcome back."

Miriam, who was just worried and didn't notice Ritas before, said belatedly,
"I don't really care about the gallows, but at least I don't want to block the door."

Miriam said, shaking her head.

"no problem."

After learning that Miriam's depression had nothing to do with him, Ritas walked up the stairs with confidence and planned to return to his room.

However, when they were halfway up the stairs, Ritas looked down and met Miriam's eyes.

Miriam's expression at this moment was very complicated, distressed, lost, confused, and also a little bit of incredible bewilderment.

His eyes seemed to be telling me, "I'm in this state now, Professor, won't you come and enlighten me?"

"."

Stuck in the middle of the stairs, unable to go up or down, Ritas hesitated for a moment and finally sighed and chose "his duty as a mentor."

He returned to the first floor and sat opposite Miriam.

"Student Miriam, are you worried about something?"
