Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 58 Noah Greens

In the first week of June, the junior students of Earls College had their first midterm examination.

Since the apprentice magicians, who had only studied for less than two months, were still in their "toddler" stage in terms of magic training, this midterm exam did not include any practical magic, but only a few written tests on basic subjects.

When I was in the elementary department, the academy had no strict requirements for the students' test scores twice a semester. The last time a student was expelled from the academy for failing to meet the academic standards was thirty years ago. And even this poor history student was expelled more for his bad attitude than his poor grades.

Therefore, in the elementary department, the only ones who pay attention to the students' grades and are responsible for these matters are the tutors of each grade.

Professor Ritas, the instructor of the Yew Fir class, is currently struggling with his attendance number, so he naturally won't have any requirements for the students' grades.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Ritas has adopted a laissez-faire policy towards his students. If someone's grades are really too bad, he will still find a way to deal with them.

Ritas's "no requirements" were relative to Adeline, the acting mentor in the "Star Mark" game world. At least, he wouldn't threaten students with expulsion or set difficult-to-achieve goals.

As for the students, I think no one likes the idea of "exams". Therefore, the classroom has been filled with a solemn atmosphere these days. Even Sylvie, who is excellent in all subjects, is in a state of tension.

Among them, Xia Lu should be the most unlucky one.

She had just transferred to Yewwood College and hadn't even explored the entire Earls College yet. She still needed her roommate to accompany her to the cafeteria in the morning. As a result, the midterm exam was already standing in her face.

Faced with the questions on the test paper that she couldn't understand at all, Xia Lu showed an expression of extreme helplessness that she had never shown in her adventurer career.

That pitiful posture intensified the Bathing Goddess's determination to "push her alone", and Xia Lu became the Bathing Goddess's new "wife" without her knowledge.

This is called misfortunes never come singly!
By the way, the person who shared the same dormitory with Charlotte was Iris, who had been "lonely" for a long time after Merci moved out.

As compensation for the torture of the midterm exams, students in the elementary department do not need to attend classes in the afternoon on the two days of the exams.

During this period, Ritas, who gradually had free time, planned to go to the treatment center to see a student in the afternoon of that day.

Entering the treatment center, Ritas suddenly felt a little sentimental. And because this happened frequently recently, Ritas even wondered if he had become sentimental.

Looking back, he had been a student and researcher at the academy for so many years, but he had only been to the treatment center a few times. But these days, he actually felt familiar with the treatment center.

Besides, just feeling familiar was fine. But the scene Ritas saw in a ward at the treatment center one day after the Summer Festival really made him lose his temper.

Miriam, who was stabbed with a poison needle, was hospitalized.

Glenville, unable to find a good time to be discharged, was hospitalized.

Merci and Iris were injured in the Thorn Maze incident and were hospitalized.

His students literally held a class meeting in the ward.

Sylvie, who came with Ritas to visit the group, had a very strange look on her face. She had only gone to have dinner with her family on Friday, so why did she seem to be excluded when she came back?

After calming down his mind, Ritas came to a ward on the third floor of the treatment center.

I knocked on the door of the ward, and soon a roaring sound came from inside.

"Are you here to inquire about the investigation again? Are you done yet? How many times do you want me to tell you that I have nothing to do with that damn Ai Zan. I am also a victim!"

“.”「.”

Ritas and the white disc in his hand looked at each other in confusion.

The goddess of bathing was also present that day. Or rather, when Ritas did not bring the goddess of bathing with him to attend new classes or seminars, she would torture him with noise afterwards.

"Well, she's quite spirited."

It's a bit too much.

Ritas knocked on the door again and got the response of "Get lost".

It must be said that in an aristocratic magic academy, opportunities to directly face such outrageous remarks were relatively rare. However, Ritas did not get angry, nor did he just walk away. Instead, he calmly pushed open the door of the ward.

Instantly, several shadows attacked Ritas. The breeze around Ritas suspended some of the flying fruits in mid-air.

One of the fruits, called Orange Rose Fruit, slowly fell into Ritas' palm and began to spin rapidly.

Soon, the fruit's skin unfolded like a blooming flower, and Ritas slowly "returned" the peeled fruit back to the thrower's hand.

"Nice to meet you, Cadet Noah Greens. I'm Ritas Elson, an instructor in the Elementary Yewwood Class."

Facing the green-haired girl on the hospital bed, Ritas said expressionlessly.

"Xiao Li, I've been wanting to ask you this before. Have you ever trained in a circus or something like that? Why do all the magic you perform seem like juggling tricks?"

In the ward, with noise ringing in his ears, Ritas's eyes moved back and forth between the low table next to the bed and the trash can in the corner of the room many times, and finally he put the white round plate on the low table, next to the fruit basket.

There is always a fruit basket filled with fresh fruit on the low table next to the bed, which is a feature of the treatment center in Earls College.

On the hospital bed, the student named Noah Greens seemed to be calmer, at least he stopped throwing random things at Ritas.

In the white ward, only Noah's surroundings were covered in green. Her hair was obviously abnormal in both length and thickness. Not only was the bed covered in green, but the long hair even spread to the ground around it.

Noah Greens.

Students from the Advanced Department's Chicheng class had previously participated in the Magic Ball seminar.

On the night of the Summer Festival, it was her Star Mark Emblem that went berserk and formed the thorn maze.

The goddess of bathing, who always said "Who is this? I don't know!", recognized Noah this time. However, Noah himself does not seem to be the main character in the "Star Mark" game.

The Bathing Goddess was able to recognize Noah thanks to the fact that she has been advancing Engel's plot line in the "New Files" recently.

Whether in the game world or the real world, Engel had sneaked into the women's locker room at the Magicball Seminar Hall for some reason. And no matter which world it was, the one who caught the sneaky Engel in the act was this senior Noah.

Since before, the Bath Goddess has always called Noah "Queen", and when Ritas asked why, the Bath Goddess replied like this.

"Because when she blocked Engel, she was holding a whip in her hand."
Then why did this student of the Magicball seminar carry a horsewhip with him?
"Why do you have so many whys? How should I know? I also want to know why you always hold that broken metronome."

This question is about how can a professor not carry a metronome with him?

Okay, it seems like he's the only one there.

In short, it cannot be said that Ritas knows nothing about Noah, a senior student, but his current impression is mostly negative.

"Hmm. Are you the Professor Elson that's been rumored?"

After learning that the visitor that day was Ritas, Noah's attitude seemed to soften a little after muttering, "Finally, someone who can talk to me has come." But only a little.

Noah had a pair of sword-like eyebrows, and usually she would look angry as long as she slightly frowned. Moreover, she was not just looking angry now, but was actually angry.

Ritas was not surprised that Noah knew him. What was strange was Noah's next complaint, the reason why he knew him.

"I already have all your works. So, could you please ask that Schneizer guy to stop forcing books on me?"

"?"

Just when Ritas wanted to ask what was going on, Noah started complaining.

"If I prove to you that I really have nothing to do with that Ai Zan, then you can take this off and let me go?"

Noah said this, turning his back to show Ritas.

The area on her back where the star pattern was located was now fixed with a piece of cloth made by Ritas and coated with a special potion.

Although, Ritas also did a lot of processing and modification on this suppression cloth. However, the special agent on it is still derived from the "universal solvent (tentative)" which is extremely strong and can burn human skin.

Therefore, Noah was not feeling well now, and she was constantly feeling pain and itching in her back. Because of this, a lot of sweat soaked her thin hospital gown, revealing the lines of her body completely.

Of course, Noah's original intention was just to let Ritas see with her own eyes the restraining cloth that caused her so much pain.

Um.
Ritas looked serious.

Should I look at the scene before me or should I not look at it?
Well, the bathing goddess is whistling, so I shouldn’t look at it after all.

"That day, I was just dragged there by that bastard. I'm usually avoiding him, too. Yes, I have the badge he gave me. But that's for the seminar consultant. If you were in his shoes and the consultant gave you a badge, would you really throw it back? If I could, I'd stuff it in his mouth! That guy has always acted like he's young and promising, which is disgusting. He looks at me in a weird way. Even though I have the badge he gave me, I've never attended any of the parties he organizes!"

Noah didn't organize her words carefully, and seemed to be speaking whatever came to her mind. She also lacked a sense of distance from Ritas, not like a student facing a professor.

However, Ritas can now understand Noah's feelings.

After all, not only was she suddenly involved in a huge incident, but she also awakened a strange power in her body that could even take her life. Moreover, no one came out to explain all this to her from beginning to end. She was just kept under house arrest in the treatment center and questioned while she endured the pain brought by the restraining cloth.

Anyone would be in a state where they would not care about etiquette or identity or position, and would be almost going crazy.

Also, Ritas is really young.

From the perspective of the elementary students, there was a generational gap between Ritas and them. Compared to them, who were still young boys and girls, Ritas was obviously an "adult". But for the advanced students, just from the appearance, Ritas was almost the same as them.

"I believe what you said."

Ritas waited patiently for Noah to finish his story before continuing.

"Hmph, just lip service again."

"I'm not being perfunctory, student Noah Greens. As a professor of magic, I won't make up a lie against my will just for the sake of being perfunctory. I believe you did not attend Malik Azan's private gatherings. It's because all the students who attended those gatherings showed abnormal behavior and were controlled by Malik Azan to a certain extent. These phenomena did not happen to you. It's better to say that it was because your resistance was strong enough at the time that he took the most extreme measures."

While Ritas was explaining, he heard the Bathing Goddess reminding him. He then realized that mentioning this matter would cause secondary harm to Noah, so he apologized immediately.
"I'm sorry, Cadet Noah. I reminded you of something bad."

"I am fine."

Noah said stubbornly.

The way she looked at Ritas was a little different from before. Perhaps it was because Ritas was the only person from the academy who was willing to believe her words these days. Or perhaps, Ritas had his own judgment and would not keep asking questions and not believe her answers.

"Now, can you let me leave?"

"That's why I came here today."

Ritas said as he took out some documents from the package he was carrying and handed them to Noah.

"The thing that appears behind you and completely guides your power is temporarily named the 'Star Mark Emblem'."

In the following time, Ritas explained to Noah the matters related to the Star Mark Emblem with the help of written documents.

If I had to say, due to the incompetence of some goddesses, Ritas didn't know much about the Star Mark Emblem. He mainly obtained various information through observation of Merci and comparison with magic and magic arrays.

However, it is enough to explain it to those who know nothing.

In particular, the similarities between "Star Power" and magic can soothe the inner anxiety of the star mark holder.

"Currently, I'm primarily responsible for observing, researching, and handling all matters related to the Star Mark Emblem at the academy. Therefore, on behalf of the Tree Witch Research Society, I'm formally extending an invitation to you. I hope you can temporarily join the Bathing Seminar, which is affiliated with the Tree Witch Research Institute, before graduation."

Listening to Ritas' words and looking at the various clauses on the document in his hand, Noah blinked and looked at him as if he was a fool.

"Is it impossible to join?"

That’s it!

Although he was explicitly rejected, Ritas' heart was filled with admiration for Noah.

As expected, Merci's post-incident handling was abnormally smooth.
