Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 51 Great Hero

The arrest operation in Earls College gradually expanded.

In the academy's treatment center, all the students of the Yew Fir class, except Sylvie who was out, gathered together.

In the center of the crowd, Glenwell, who was lying on the hospital bed, felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

He was injured on Tuesday, both physically and mentally. But the physical injury was not serious and he recovered the next day, but the mental injury still needed to be adjusted. However, the adjustment was almost completed on Thursday. The reason why he was still lying in the treatment center when he was completely fine on Friday was that he thought that there was only one school day left this week, so it would not be a big deal to take a break.

But that afternoon, not only did all his classmates come to visit him, but they all stayed except Sylvie.

For those who pretend to be sick to skip classes, the biggest fear is this kind of large-scale attention.

Thinking of the "tough guy" persona he had established among his classmates, even though he was extremely healthy both physically and mentally, Grenwell could only lie paralyzed on the hospital bed, looking as if he had just survived a tragic battlefield, enduring pain and with a look of emptiness on his face.

"It's already so late, isn't it time for us to leave?"

Iris looked out the window, seeing that it was already pitch dark, and suggested aloud.

Glenwell, whose expression had already become somewhat empty, suddenly had his eyes light up and he wanted to nod in agreement.

"Ah, let's keep this for a while! Grenville has been here alone for so many days. He must be very uneasy and lonely! Right, Grenville?"

Miriam, who suddenly became a little flustered, spoke repeatedly, and then frequently winked at Grenwell.

Glenwell had no idea what his friend was hinting at and just wanted everyone to leave quickly.

"I, I heard some commotion outside. So, let's wait a little longer and go back before curfew."

Merci, whose presence in the class was only slightly stronger than Engel's, said timidly. Miriam, who received the corresponding response, agreed repeatedly and tried even more stubbornly to keep everyone in the class in the treatment center.

Miriam, who had heard the "confidential conversation" in person, and Merci, who usually lived in the tree house, knew something about what was going to happen that night. In addition, they had received instructions from Ritas to try to take others to a safe place during the time of the incident, such as the treatment center where they were now.

However, Miriam and Merci didn't know that the other was their "wolf teammate".

"But."

Iris showed a hint of hesitation. It wasn't that she saw the suspiciousness of Miriam and Merci, but she heard about the commotion outside and wanted some gossip, so she simply wanted to join in the fun.

"Don't say but, come, have some fruit basket, I'll help you peel the apple!"

“Why am I eating?”

Although Iris said this, she still ate it.

Just as the students of Yew Fir School were chatting idly under Miriam's strong pull, the door of the ward was pushed open.

The staff at the treatment center pushed a comatose patient who had almost completed his treatment into the ward.

When the staff finished their work, Miriam and the others could see clearly that it was a male student from the Chenghui grade. However, Miriam and the others had no impression of him, and could not even remember his name.

Due to what happened in the first practical magic class, everyone in the Yew Fir class generally disliked the group of students in the Orange Glow class who had an overflowing sense of superiority.

But no one noticed that in a corner of the ward, Engel was staring at the male student.

"water"

Not long after, the male student, who was about to wake up from his coma, made a hoarse sound.

Just when Miriam and the others thought that even though he was in the same class as Chenghui, he was still somewhat pitiful and were planning to go up and take care of him, they saw that Engel had already appeared beside the male student's bed.

"Come on, Student Schneizer."

Engel filled a cup with some water and patiently fed it to Kraft Schneizer.

But in the eyes of Miriam and others, even if Engel could call out the other person's name, the two were very likely acquaintances, and his behavior was undoubtedly abnormal.

"Someone. Someone is calling me"

"is it?"

After being fed some water by Engri, Kraft was silent for a moment, and his consciousness seemed to become even more hazy.

"Compared to those things, do you know a badge, Student Schneizer? A badge that looks like a broken wing carved with black lines."

From the gaps in his thick hair, Engel revealed a deep gaze.

"Badge. Master Ai Zan's badge. Where is my badge? The badge that Master Ai Zan gave me."

Kraft, who looked very weak, searched his body randomly with his hands, but could not find the target object for a long time.

"Is the badge of Master Ai Zan the one with the broken wing pattern?"

Engel, who had been patient and low-pitched before, suddenly became anxious and kept asking questions. But Kraft soon fell into a coma again and only gave vague responses.

"."

Engeli had a dark face, was silent for a moment, and then walked out of the ward.

"Wait! Where are you going? Engri!"

Seeing Engel leaving, Miriam immediately chased after him.

But after arriving in the corridor, Miriam looked around but did not see Engel.

"Should it be"

Looking at the open window in the corridor and the height of the second floor where she was, Miriam scratched her head and jumped down with gritted teeth.

After landing relatively smoothly, Miriam finally saw Engel's back, which was quite far away from her.

"I told you to wait a minute, Engel!"

Facing Miriam's repeated call, Engel stopped and slowly turned his head.

"Where are you going?"

"Go back to the dormitory."

"You're going back to the dormitory even if you have to jump out of the window? Are you in such a hurry?"

Under the night sky, outside the academy's treatment center, Miriam and Engel were facing each other at a certain distance.

Facing Miriam's questioning, Engel breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to himself, "Here we go again."

"You're not the only one who knows what's going on tonight, Miriam. So if the man I'm looking for is really Malik Azan, then my time is running out. Do you understand? So, stay out of my way."

From the very beginning, what Engel was looking for was the familiar broken wing emblem.

It was precisely because he saw a senior schoolmate holding the badge during the Magic Ball seminar that he was accidentally blocked when he sneaked into the women's locker room to look for it.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but the professor said it would be dangerous outside tonight and asked me to take you to a safe place."

Miriam really didn't understand what Engel was saying, but seeing that the other party had already revealed his cards, he did the same.

"Professor, do you really think that a word from someone who is not present can have any deterrent effect on me? What will you do if I insist on leaving?" "I will stop you, even by force."

"."

There was a brief silence.

Miriam saw Engel lowered his head slightly, and his shoulders began to shrug constantly, and then.
"Ha ha ha ha--"

Engel burst into laughter.

Miriam realized that it was the first time he saw Engel smile.

"No problem. Although time is tight, I think there is still room for me to play with you. After all, you won't be able to delay for long."

As Engel spoke, a sharp weapon reflecting a sharp light flowed down his sleeve and landed on his right hand.

It was a dagger.

At the same time, Engel's left hand took out the magic wand from his waist and used it to curl up his hair that almost completely blocked his eyes.

"Come on, 'Big Hero'."

Engel regained his grim expression, holding the magic wand in one hand and pointing the dagger at Miriam with the other.

Miriam also took out her magic wand, announcing the official start of this "duel".

Miriam had never thought that he would fight against his classmates as an apprentice wizard under such circumstances. He also didn't know whether this could be considered a final settlement with Engel, with whom he had never gotten along well since the Magic Stadium incident.

However, he will not shrink from this.

Rather, recalling Engel's poor performance in the practical classes, which was in stark contrast to his own, he felt that it was Engel who should be shrinking. And the dagger that Engel took out also showed that Engel was guilty of not daring to fight him without a sharp weapon.

Miriam, feeling that she should show some respect to sharp weapons, cast a defensive magic.

After this period of growth, when Miriam used defensive magic, four shields would appear to surround his body and protect him from harm. And the gaps between the shields that looked like gaps were actually blocked by transparent defensive walls.

On the other side, after Engri muttered something, silver light wrapped around his legs.

Strengthen magic.

This was a type of magic that had just appeared in Yew Fir's class the day before.

However, Adeline (Ann), as a substitute teacher, did not take the students to the practical magic class, but only roughly explained the principles of enhanced magic to the students.

Unexpectedly, Engel could already use it.

Miriam's defensive magic and Engel's strengthening magic were completed at almost the same time. However, while Miriam hesitated and did not continue to cast magic, Engel continued to chant the spell of elemental magic.

During a duel between mages, every opportunity to chant was precious, but Miriam almost completely missed this opportunity.

When Engri's elemental magic took shape, a hint of light green wrapped around his feet.

The next moment, Engel, who had lowered his body slightly, suddenly rushed towards Miriam.

With the blessing of two magic spells, Engri was like an arrow shot from a bow. He closed the distance between him and Miriam in the blink of an eye at a speed so fast that only the afterimage could be caught by the naked eye.

Miriam carefully observed Engri's movements and chanted the spell of elemental magic.

In a flash, the approaching Engel passed directly by Miriam. Miriam, who was ready to attack Engel head-on with an elemental magic, was temporarily delayed by the unexpected action of the opponent.

When Miriam turned around, she found that there was no trace of Engel around.

There was no time to be surprised. Miriam turned her head again and again, but she could not see Engel in any direction.

Stealth?

Miriam felt his heart suddenly "jump" and was full of disbelief. He had heard from the professor who liked to hide in the shadows for some reason that complete invisibility was a very advanced magic, and even for a great wizard, it was not easy to use invisibility magic.

But now this situation.
Holding the magic wand with an elemental glow at its tip, Miriam looked around in confusion when he suddenly heard a crash behind him.

Engel is attacking his own defensive magic!
In the current situation, Miriam thought that if he canceled the elemental magic that had already been chanted and used the defensive magic again, it would only make the battle passive. Moreover, he could not fight against an invisible opponent with the usual means.

Therefore, he planned to let Engel break his defensive magic. Then, at the moment when the defensive magic was broken, he would release the accumulated flames through the gap.

This way he could save the time of re-chanting magic and gain the upper hand, and also catch invisible opponents.

Almost at the same time as these thoughts flashed through Miriam's mind, his defensive magic made a tearing sound.

It was the first time that Miriam realized that her defensive magic was more fragile than she had imagined.

The next moment, Miriam's defensive magic shattered, and as he had planned before, he directly released the flame that had been condensing from the broken position of the defensive magic.

but.
The flames did not fly very far, nor did they hit Engel as expected. Instead, almost at the moment of flying out of the gap in the defensive magic, they hit something like a wall and exploded.

Miriam's mind went blank after being hit at close range.

As he felt a slight pain in his neck, the duel between apprentice mages quickly came to an end.

The outside of the college treatment center.

Feeling the strength being drained away from her body, Miriam's limbs became uncontrollable and she staggered and fell to the ground.

"Magic is such a convenient power. Just by learning defensive magic, elemental magic, and strengthening magic, I can do so many more things."

Standing in the sight of the fallen Miriam, Engel, who had put away his dagger and wand, could not help but sigh at his own changes. It was obviously the first time for him to use magic in actual combat.

"Is this magic?"

After hearing Engel's words, Miriam realized what had happened before.

Engel's defensive magic has a similar property to that of a chameleon's skin. When it is still, it can blend into the surroundings to a certain extent. But once it moves, it is still quite obvious.

Therefore, Engel cast his defensive magic around Miriam.

Miriam, who was completely unaware that the problem was actually with her vision, ended up "self-destructing" on her own.

"Don't worry, it's just a poison needle with paralysis toxin. It should be back to normal in a few days."

After saying this, Engel, who was about to leave, paused briefly as if he had thought of something, and then spoke again.
"Is it because you are in the weakest class of Yewwood and are constantly amazed by the talents and gifts of even weaker mediocre people that you have the illusion that the world revolves around you?"

"Stop. Eng. G. Li."

Miriam, who had been paralyzed to the point where she had difficulty speaking, still tried to keep Engel.

“It’s the same words.”

"From now on, mind your own business. 'Big hero'."

As the words fell, Engel no longer stayed and completely disappeared into the night.
