Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 45 Silver Dragon Adventure Group

What happened in the early morning of that day was a small matter for the entire Earls Higher School of Magic, but it was undoubtedly a big deal for the Yew Fir Wood students.

In fact, the students of Yewwood School have become more or less accustomed to their instructor's frequent absences. Last week, it was a bit strange to see Professor Ritas for five consecutive days.

However, the problem today was that not only Ritas, but also Miriam and Grenville did not show up in the classroom.

This situation made Iris's gossip soul burn fiercely, and she wished she could skip classes to collect information.

In the classroom, Engley, who was the only one who knew something about the incident and had seen Grenwell flying, was completely out of touch with his class as always.

Near noon, Adeline and Ann finally appeared in the Yew Fir Wood class classroom.

Adeline, who was sitting steadily in a wheelchair that day, showed a look of surprise when she saw the classroom was emptier than usual.

"Oh? Professor Ritas is absent again today?"

Adeline's words sounded like a question, but no one in the classroom answered.

After this period of time, the assistant tutor Adeline successfully established a gap with the students. Therefore, in contrast to her perfunctory attitude for a long time, unless she asked a specific student by name, most of the students in the Yew Wood School would choose to pretend not to hear.

"What a trouble. An, go and read the textbook to them."

"Yes, Miss."

So, on this day, the students of Zishanmu class, who had been looking at each other in confusion in the classroom for a long time, finally waited for a maid to go up to the podium.

In the afternoon after school, Mercy, who was always worried when Ritas was absent, was on her way back to the tree house dormitory.

It's not that Merci is self-indulgent and likes to take all the responsibilities on herself. It's that the time when Ritas is absent is very subtle. The day before Ritas is absent, almost without exception, he is with Merci.

As such things happened more and more, Mercy could not help but think about it from a metaphysical perspective. For example, was there some cursed fate between her and Professor Ritas?
"Good afternoon, Cadet Mercy."

A sudden sound from the shadows on the side of the tree house startled Merci. Then, she saw the person she had just been thinking about appeared in front of her.

"Good afternoon, Professor Ritas."

"."

Looking at Merci who bowed to him repeatedly, Ritas felt as if every time he met her, he was back to the beginning.

Not long after, in the tree house.

Ritas and Mercy had afternoon tea together.

Although they were not in the same room, perhaps both of them thought of the same thing, because of a private lesson that had taken place in this tree house the night before, which had some problems in the final session, the atmosphere in the room gradually became strange.

It was Merci who took the initiative to break the silence.

"Um. Professor, you didn't seem to get in this time. Hmm."

"A treatment center?"

Seeing Merci's expression as if she didn't know whether to say it or not, Ritas continued calmly.

He wanted to emphasize that under normal circumstances, a magician of the Grand Master level would not be so easily injured. But thinking of his two past "glorious achievements", Ritas thought it would be better to popularize it another day.

“Someone else was injured this time.”

Recalling the detached and empty look on Grenville's face when he visited him before, Ritas added,
"After all, we are classmates, so if you have time, you can organize a visit to visit Cadet Grenville."

"Good, good."

Mercy nodded repeatedly. After she finished speaking, a puzzled look appeared on her face. She obviously couldn't figure out what happened to Grenville, and didn't know why Miriam was also absent.

After observing Merci for a while, Ritas's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
"Student Mercy, have you forgotten what the dean told you?"

Seeing Merci tilt her head and think for a moment before showing a look of realization, Ritas couldn't help but shook his head.

It was definitely not normal for a teacher to come and visit his students without any specific reason. And it was not appropriate for Mercy to invite the other party into her dormitory.

However, as the person being entertained, Ritas didn't know whether he should say anything or not.

While waiting, Ritas was talking to Merci about matters related to the seminar when a noisy sound was heard faintly from outside the tree house.

Since the tree house is located in a remote and sparsely populated area, there is no need to confirm, and Ritas knows that the "real owner" has arrived.

Previously, Ritas proposed to have some adventurers stay in the Shadow Mist Forest for a long time to observe the movements of the monsters. Livis accepted this proposal and commissioned an adventure group called "Silver Dragon" to be responsible for these matters.

With the busy dean out and too busy to return, the task of meeting and guiding the Silver Dragon Adventure Group was assigned to Ritas and Merci.

Looking out through the window, Ritas easily found the adventure group.

In general, the Silver Dragon Adventure Group was probably an adventure group that had been famous for a long time and had no worries about the source of commissions. Therefore, their clothing was relatively restrained and did not deliberately attract attention. But even so, their style was undoubtedly not very compatible with Earls College.

And
"Did they come in through the front door?"

Looking at the "onlookers" in the academy who kept some distance from the Silver Dragon Adventure Group, Ritas frowned slightly.

"Indeed, we should have come in through the side door, Captain."

"What are you talking about? The Silver Dragon always goes through the main entrance!"

"When we sneaked into Prato Town, was the cliff we climbed over the main entrance? When we attacked the Lagoa Hotel, was the sewer we took also the main entrance? When we defeated the land whale, we went from the back..."

“Shut up, Haniya, are you going to include the time when I stole vegetables from my neighbors when I was a kid?”

The middle-aged man with long red hair and beard, and a round face surrounded by red, is the leader of the Silver Dragon Adventure Group, Gram Lawn.

Gram was wearing an old dress and a bright red cape. Except for not wearing a crown, he looked like a prince who had been in poverty for a long time.

The person he couldn't help but yelled at was Hania, the "military advisor" of the adventure team.

This military advisor, whose name sounds a bit like a woman's, is actually a man. Although he looks young, his fair skin and pointed ears mean that his appearance is not credible.

Generally speaking, the elves are considered to be "a tribe favored by the gods" in the eyes of the world. In addition to their long lifespan and outstanding magical talents, their tribe is generally composed of beautiful ladies and handsome men.

But this Haniya has a pointed face and monkey cheeks.

Almost everyone who meets Haniya wonders if he is a hybrid of an elf and some other race.

"Xia Lu, why are there so many people following us? Have these noble young masters and young ladies never seen the world?" "They think you are a new species of monkey, stupid Sunny."

Behind Gram and Hania, a boy and girl around fifteen years old were also talking to each other.

The two people named Xia Lu and Sunny both have the same fiery red hair color as Gram, and a pair of equally bright red eyes.

However, as twin siblings, Xia Lu and Sunny have almost no similarities except for their hair color and eye color.

Sonny's face was filled with the youthful vigor and vitality that is typical of a young man, and he looked around with great interest.

"I heard that there's a guy from 'Red Meteor' who goes to school here. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Of course it's fake. Are those red savages worthy of it? You're the only one who believes this. I don't know where you heard it from. Didn't mother say not to associate with those questionable people?"

"Pfft, mother. Xia Lu, that's enough. You don't really think that those people who usually call you 'lady' are complimenting you, right? Besides, the real young ladies are nearby, take a quick look and see how big the gap is between them and you."

Sunny's clothes were relatively ordinary, with a light armor with a bright silver armor plate fixed on the upper body, and short clothes for easy movement on the lower body.

Xia Lu's outfit seemed quite simple, but the style was somewhat different.

Her long hair was tied up with a white butterfly that was almost as big as her head. Her upper body was covered with purple prints, with exaggerated sleeves that were big enough to fit a pumpkin, and her lower body was a navy blue long skirt that was tied up high at the waist and almost to her chest.

"I'll kill you if you keep talking like that, stupid Sonny."

"Hey, 'Lady', just because you cover your mouth doesn't mean you can say anything!"

Looking at Xia Lu, who had half of her face covered with her furisode but had an extremely fierce look in her eyes, Sunny gave a warning.

The Silver Dragon Adventure Group has a total of twelve official members, and this time all of them came to Earls College.

The members of the adventure team behind them saw the leader Grom and the second leader Hania quarreling fiercely. Sunny and Xia Lu, who might be the future leader and second leader, had already started fighting with each other at a low intensity while walking. They suddenly felt that the future of their adventure team was really bright.
Soon, the Silver Dragon Adventure Group arrived in front of the tree house.

It is about twenty steps from the gate to the tree house.

Looking inside, at the door of the tree house which had opened at the same time as the main entrance, the group stopped and waited for a moment.

Then, Sonny, who seemed to be the most impatient boy, took a few steps forward and came to the front of the line.

"Hey, what's going on? We've received a rare commission, but there's not even anyone to greet us? I don't know if they're nobles or mages, but this is totally unceremonious!"

Faced with Sunny's shouting, the other members of the Silver Dragon Adventure Group neither stopped him nor responded.

There is no stopping because the adventurer industry is special. Rules and regulations, profit efficiency, work ability and other things are fine.

The key is not to be looked down upon!
Therefore, after entering the academy, apart from being briefly shown the way at the gate, they not only had no contact with other relevant personnel, but also the Silver Dragon Adventure Group, who were watched all the way, felt somewhat unhappy.

But the reason why there was no response was because.
Under the gaze of so many "civilized people", Sunny's minion-like behavior was quite embarrassing.

However, the people of the Silver Dragon Adventure Group did not know that there was a reason why Ritas and Merci in the tree house had not appeared yet.

The high profile of the Silver Dragon Adventure Group attracted too many troublemakers.

As for Mercy, the fact that she lives with the dean is still kept secret. Although it is not something that cannot be disclosed, in order to prevent her college life from being affected unnecessarily, she still needs to keep a low profile at this stage.

As for Ritas, he was currently suspended from his duties. According to the statement released by Genlusi, he was already under quarantine. For him to appear in the dean's dormitory in such a dignified manner, rumors were only a minor problem. The key point was that it might hinder what he was going to do later.

"Professor, how about I disguise myself and go out to greet them?"

Seeing Ritas lost in thought and the adventurers outside shouting again, Merci suggested.

Ritas was a little surprised. After all, this was a suggestion made by Merci, and it was quite reliable.

"It's not necessary, there are many ways to welcome adventurers into this tree house. I'm just thinking about what specifications to use."

Ritas continued to think.

Although, the Silver Dragon Adventure Group looked a bit poor, and their performance was full of a sense of trash.

However, this was an adventure group invited by Levis herself.

Among the students recruited by Livis herself, there are Miriam and Merci. The tutor assistant recruited and recommended by Livis herself is called Adeline.

Moreover, if they encounter the mysterious wizard again in the Shadow Mist Forest, the Silver Dragon Adventure Group must at least have the ability to escape before they are qualified to be commissioned by Livis.

Ritas, who almost had the answer, came to the second floor of the tree house.

During his time as a student and researcher, Ritas has been involved in the maintenance of the tree house for many years, making it very familiar to him.

He moved away half of the furniture in a room on the second floor and lifted the red carpet on the ground, revealing a large magic circle that was dimmed due to lack of power.

Outside the tree house, Sonny, who had been shouting for several rounds, came to Grom, the leader's father, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

Even he is beginning to feel ashamed now!

Grom scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

If it were any other time, the leader of the adventure group might have simply chosen to make a big fuss and then leave.

However, after all, the client this time was a "Tree Witch". Moreover, thinking about the reward for this commission, Grom felt that it was too stupid to fall out with the employer just because of some face issues.

At this moment, the tree house suddenly changed.

I saw that the ancient tree, which was almost withered and most of its branches were bare, suddenly began to glow with green light. A large number of translucent leaves that looked like creatures from a fantasy world made the entire ancient tree look "alive" again.

Countless imaginary leaves fell from the sky like drizzle, gathered on the ground and formed a green road leading to the tree house.

On both sides of the road, branches break through the ground to form arches.

Next to the arch, in the quiet flowerbed, flowers that are as magical as the fantasy leaves are blooming and competing with each other in beauty.

When everyone in the Silver Dragon Adventure Group was shocked by the sudden scene in front of them, they all fell into a daze.

Grom Lawn let out a hearty laugh.

“Hahahaha – that’s more like it.”

Grom kicked his stupid son, then set out on the road emitting green light together with his fierce daughter with glowing eyes.
