Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 50 Big Fish
Somewhere on the mainland.

It was an old castle that showed signs of age from the outside. At least a quarter of the castle's surface was covered with moss, making it almost blend in with the surrounding mountains and forests.

But even inside the castle, apart from the brand new decoration, there is glass and metal shining everywhere.

One of the Four Sages, Susola, known as the Father of Magical Tools, lived in this castle.

In the castle's hall, a beautiful figure with white hair was waiting impatiently.

"Not well yet? Old man, you must have fallen asleep."

Although there was no one in the hall, Levis still raised her head and urged.

"No. Not yet. Don't rush. Don't rush."

In response to Levis' urging, a voice echoed in the empty castle hall.

The old voice mixed with the creaking sound of machinery was naturally from Susola. However, Susola did not appear with the voice.

Unlike Levis, Susola is just an ordinary human with a very limited lifespan.

But according to calculations, Susola has lived for at least two hundred and ten years.

Livis had long suspected that Susola, the "madman" among the four sages, had transformed his body into a magic tool. What's more, this huge castle-shaped magic tool that has been quietly operating all year round is already Susola himself.

However, even if this is true, Levis has no special feelings or thoughts about it.

The so-called "sages" have long been beyond the common sense of the world, so it is not surprising no matter what amazing things they do.

As long as it does not affect Livis's "sphere of influence", she will not bother to care even if Susola transforms half of the continent into magic tools.

Moreover, if you must say it, his "temper" has actually improved since Susola stopped showing up.

In the past, Livis and Susola had many conflicts. It was hard to imagine that Susola would make magic tools according to Livis's request.

Other wise men also joked that the century-long reconciliation between Livis and Susola proved the saying "If you live long enough, you will see everything."

After Levis urged several times, the scene in the castle hall changed.

With a slight vibration on the ground, the ground that seemed to be covered with red floor slowly separated to both sides.

From the underground, a white floor slowly rose up to the ground. On top of that floor, there was a magic tool that looked very similar to a lantern.

As for Levis, she didn't even wait for the floor to rise. She jumped off the ground, picked up the lantern magic tool, and then flew away.

"Thanks, old man. I'll come back to you sometime to make other magic tools—"

"?"

The continuous sound of mechanical operation in the castle seemed to be stuck.
"Normal, shouldn't you come to repay me?"

Susola spoke intermittently, but Livis's hurried figure was no longer in the castle.

"Oh, it's so urgent. It's so anxious."

Only the sound of Susola's sigh remained, echoing in the empty castle along with the mechanical sound.

Coming to the outside of the castle, Levis stretched out her fingers and gestured in the air.

Soon, a magic circle composed of soft white light appeared in the sky, and along with the magic circle appeared a vortex that slightly distorted the surrounding space.

The white vortex in the air had an extremely dangerous aura. It was flashing with a sharp light that seemed to be able to tear everything apart, and there were also lightning and thunder that were both sharp and blinding, raging in it.

However, Livis didn't mind it at all. She just put a layer of barrier on the lantern magic tool in her hand and jumped into the vortex.

The scene before me changed rapidly.

When Livis's vision returned to normal, what she saw was a brilliant golden color.

It was a huge wheat field, stretching as far as the eye could see.

In the wheat field, the wheat ears swaying slightly in the wind seem to be much larger than usual. Therefore, these towering wheat ears can hide the weirdness that spreads throughout the wheat field.

scarecrow.

Countless scarecrows, under the protection of wheat ears, are densely distributed in the wheat fields.

It is as if the things originally planted in the fields are the scarecrows, but it is the crops that are used to help the scarecrows drive away foreign enemies.

Since birds prefer shiny things, scarecrows generally do not use reflective objects as eyes. However, the tens of thousands of scarecrows hidden in the wheat fields almost all have eyes made of crystal orbs.

"It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and my 'home' has become like this. This can't be possible."

Levis stretched out her finger, drew a few lines in the air, and then nothing happened.

At the same time, a scarecrow in the wheat field suddenly let out a strange "chuckle". As if it was contagious, the strange laughter spread quickly, and in an instant the whole wheat field was filled with noise.

"How many years ago was the last time you were in this situation?"

Looking around with interest, there was a hint of coldness in Levis Wind Chaser's eyes.

Earls College.

In the auditorium located in the center of the academy, all law enforcement officers from the Root Law Department and the Branch Crown Council have gathered.

Unlike the Root Law Division who always maintained order, the members of the Branch Crown Council seemed a little disorganized.

The commander of this operation, John of Roots, and Martin Cottle of the Branch Crown Council, were staring at a dim, unactivated magic circle inside the auditorium.

"Captain John, the time for the plan to start has passed. This is a plan full of variables. If we don't execute it as planned..."

Councillor Martin said anxiously. Excessive anxiety made him look ten years older overnight.

"Although I understand Councillor Martin's feelings, it is precisely because of this that we need to wait patiently for the return of the dean. I believe you are also aware of what kind of person our dean is. She is the key to making complex plans simple and turning all variables into nothingness."

Listening to John's calm words, Senator Martin wanted to refute something, but at this moment, the magic circle lit up.

However, unlike what was expected, after the magic circle lit up, no figure who could "make everything simple" walked out of it.

John seemed to realize something and took a few steps back, pulling over Martin who was a little slow in reacting.

Soon after the magic circle lit up, a puff of black smoke came out of it. Then, the ground where the magic circle was carved bulged, cracked in the center, and the two sides of the crack also bulged in different ways.

The color of the floor began to turn dark red, and the center of the cracks began to turn burnt yellow.

In just a moment, the place where the magic circle was originally drawn in the auditorium turned into a big mouth stuck to the ground.

The dry dark red lips were stretched open, revealing uneven yellow teeth that were half missing, and he gave a mocking smile to the people around him.

"This"

"It seems that the dean won't be coming back for the time being. We can't make things 'simple' this time."

Unlike Martin who was still in shock, John still had that calm and friendly smile on his face.

"Teacher, come on. Didn't Ritas tell me that she was likely being targeted? And she's still so careless."

John spoke to himself, shaking his head.

"'Still so careless~'. This is not the time to say something like that, Captain John!"

In a hurry, Martin seemed to have awakened some talent for imitation, and he imitated John's sarcastic tone and spoke angrily.

"Take a deep breath, Councillor Martin. The situation has not gotten worse. Instead, it has become more ideal. Our opponents tonight have stopped the dean. What does this mean? It means that they have done their best and we will hardly encounter any strong obstacles in our next actions. Moreover, since the dean is not here, we don't have to worry about her reckless magic affecting us and innocent students."

"Is there such a saying?" Martin was stunned by John's words.

He felt that compared to himself, the young man in front of him was more suitable to be a member of the Branch Crown Council.

While the two were talking, the big mouth that was showing a mocking smile to everyone and sticking out its tongue provocatively suddenly changed.

Its tongue was twisted and its lips were shrunken. After a few painful gasps, it vomited something.

The thing itself was not stained with gastric juice, saliva or other liquids, but John's forehead still couldn't help but wrinkle in disgust.

It was a lantern.

Although there was a lack of information communication, John still roughly guessed the function of the lantern.

So, he walked towards the lantern with an expression as if he was a prisoner about to be executed, and picked it up with reluctance.

In order to prevent a certain dean from breaking or dismantling the magic tools out of frustration, the magic tools Susola made for her were often fool-proof.

So it didn't take John long to light the lantern.

"Oh! Not only did the dean not come back, but he also sent back the key props. This is really the best situation."

John said this, and suddenly pointed the lantern in the direction of a congressman not far away.

A ray of light shot out.

Almost at the same time, a shrill scream rang out from under the congressman's feet.

It was a thin black figure that was almost overlapping with the shadow of the congressman. It was now rolling up from the ground in pain.

Without giving the other party a chance to react, John waved his wand with his free hand.

An ice spear quickly shot out from the tip of the magic wand and pierced the black paper figure, instantly piercing it, freezing it and then exploding it.

"What the hell are you doing, you beastly civilian!"

As the black figure exploded, the congressman whose eyes were illuminated had bloodshot eyes and rushed towards John with a roar.

However, the members of the Genlusi did not give the congressman a chance. Four of them rushed out of the queue and pinned him to the ground.

John slowly walked up to the congressman and squatted down, illuminating his face with the lantern and poking his forehead with his wand.

Even though he was being pinned down, this senator from an aristocratic family still angrily tried to bite the civilian who had offended him with his mouth.

"Captain John."

Congressman Martin, who had only just recovered from the emergency, looked at John and then at his colleague who was pinned to the ground, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Say a few good words for your colleague and say that he is not usually like this?

Or should we quickly distance him from the Zhiguan Council and make it clear that it was just the personal behavior of that councilor?

John stood up and walked back to Martin's side, holding a lantern and shining the light on him from left to right and up and down.

Then John handed the lantern to Martin, and took out a marked list from his arms and handed it over.

"I'll leave the rest of the command to you, Councillor Martin."

"W-what?"

Martin took the two things in a daze, and he didn't understand what was going on. Or, how did the previous trend develop into this?

"Captain John, you."

“I go where the big fish are.”

After saying this, John waved his hand and left the auditorium.

Looking at John's back, Martin just sighed in his heart.

All I can say is that they are worthy of being the dean’s faction. Even John, who looks the most normal at ordinary times, is far from being a truly normal person.

The night of Summer Festival.

The fireworks show ended, and both Spring City and Earls College returned to the silence of the night.

And under the cover of night, the seemingly peaceful academy was actually experiencing violent turbulence.

In his own dormitory, Malik Aizan, the mentor of Chenghui's class, consultant of the Magic Ball Seminar, and the man named "Big Yellow Hair" by the Bathing Goddess, was facing the object on the table that was roaring at him with a ferocious expression.

It was a prop that looked like a pair of dentures, except that this denture not only bit up and down on its own, but also made a masculine sound.

"The Malik Council and the Genlusi have already started to take action, and something has happened in the city! Many people have been arrested! We have been exposed!"

"Calm down, Associate Professor Mehar. You know the power we carry. No matter what the circumstances, it is impossible."

"Shut up, idiot! The organization has allocated so many resources to you! I've already told you that if you don't have the confidence that you can succeed, don't mess with those freaks. They were all responsible for your failed assassination attempt!"

The man known as Associate Professor Mehar kept yelling at Malik.

As if he could no longer bear it, Malik held his head and growled at his dentures like a wild beast.

"What's that sound? Are you unable to keep your sanity? I see. I see! No wonder you went crazy after the assassination attempt failed. Your 'shadow seed' was killed in that failure, right? Damn it! Why did you hide such a thing! I should have known it earlier."

Associate Professor Mehar's words did not continue. The false teeth hanging on the table vividly depicted the sound of a violent knock on the door.

At the same time, another object placed next to the dentures also began to change.

It was a bird egg the size of a palm.

With a series of "click" sounds, the bird's egg broke open, and then an ugly baby bird with a twisted and extremely deformed body emerged from it.

"Run. My child. Run. My child."

After the baby bird repeated the same words dozens of times, it turned into a pool of yellow and green foul-smelling liquid, flowing along the corner of the table to the ground.

Malik held his head with both hands and roared in pain for a few times. He turned his head to look at the floor-length mirror beside him. Seeing his own horrible face in the mirror, he seemed to have regained a bit of clarity of mind.

Outside, Genlusi and the Branchcrown Council had already surrounded his dormitory residence.

Malik could already vaguely hear the sounds of doors and windows being broken.

In an emergency, he gradually calmed down, went to the storage room on the first floor, opened the hidden door, and walked into the tunnel that had been prepared long ago.

Passing through the tunnel, Malik came to the tunnel exit located in a hidden part of the academy.

Under multiple stimulations, Malik's mental state began to fluctuate again.

The method of creating shadow seeds through the shadow-driving ritual is indeed magical and powerful, but once something goes wrong, the price to be paid is also huge.

And just when it was becoming increasingly difficult for Malik to maintain his own identity.

Under the stars.

In front of him, a person who had been waiting for him for a long time appeared.

"Yo~ Big Fish Mentor."

In the long-abandoned courtyard, John smiled at Malik, who used to be full of vigor but now looked very embarrassed.

"You finally took the bait."
