Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 79 Physical Examination

Miriam was naturally excited to hear that she no longer had to cook or watch the professor cook.

However, before Miriam ran out of the mansion, Ritas pushed him back to the dining table.

"Before practice, I have a few questions for Trainee Miriam."

Miriam, who thought that Ritas was conducting some test, sat up straight and nodded.

"Do you have any impression of these two patterns? Do you think you have seen them somewhere before?"

As Ritas spoke, he took out two pieces of paper with "Star Mark Emblems" recorded on them. On each of them were Merci's and Noah's star emblems.

Although, Ritas trusted Miriam. And the information obtained from the goddess of bathing also made it clear that Miriam was a so-called brave man with the potential to become a savior.

However, Miriam's origin, the little-mentioned "Holy King Church", has always been a subject of vigilance for Ritas.

However, it is common for large churches to establish orphanages.

However, out of caution, Ritas slightly modified the star pattern, leaving only a rough outline.

"Um"

Miriam frowned and carefully observed the two patterns, confusion gradually appearing on her face.

"Professor, this isn't something you've already taught, right?"

Ritas shook his head.

Miriam, on the other hand, let out a long sigh of relief.
"I haven't seen it, and I don't have any impression of it."

Obviously, he was worried before that he had easily forgotten what Ritas had taught him, which made Ritas unhappy and he was ordered to go back to cooking or something.

"so."

Ritas silently took back the paper.

Although Merci and Noah's star patterns are different, they are from the same system after all, so there are many overlapping parts. If Miriam also has a star pattern, she will at least feel familiar.

After pondering for a moment, Ritas asked in a different way.

"Student Miriam, if the following questions involve privacy, you can choose not to answer. My question is, do you have any special lines, birthmarks, or anything like that on your body?"

Hearing Ritas' words, Miriam tilted her head in confusion. It seemed as if she was silently asking, "Does a birthmark have anything to do with learning magic?"

After thinking for a while, Miriam probably felt that it would not matter if she answered, so she shook her head.

"There is none of that. If I must say, there is a small scar formed later in life on the lower back."

"Little scar?"

Although Ritas felt that what Miriam said probably had nothing to do with the star pattern, he still asked.

"Yes."

Miriam said this, with a look of nostalgia on her face.

"At that time, there was a big goose in our village that always wandered around in the middle of the road. That day, I just made eye contact with it, and then..."

His face was full of sadness.

"."

"Professor, what's that expression on your face? Semi-wild geese are really powerful. Once they are targeted, there is no way to escape. I dare say that if the number of geese is the same as that of humans, humans would have been destroyed long ago!"

That's really incredible. Isn't it better to declare war on the big geese before human power declines?

Looking at the indignant Miriam, who was trying to describe the horror of the goose to him, Ritas knew that the tone of this conversation had completely deviated. However, he could not get any more information by continuing to ask.

So, is it true that Miriam has no star pattern on her body?

Or maybe his special star pattern was so different in pattern and form from Merci and Noah's star patterns that he couldn't recognize them.

Or maybe it was really the operation of the star pattern that damaged Miriam's brain, causing him to suffer from a certain degree of cognitive impairment. Therefore, he could not remember the fact that he had a strange emblem on his body.
So, for the sake of safety, does he still have to verify it with his own eyes?
Thinking back to the star mark emblem that kept appearing in strange places, Ritas couldn't help but hesitate.

Soon after, Miriam and Ritas, who had taken off their aprons, came to the backyard of the dormitory mansion.

In the backyard, Miriam saw a lot of things that Ritas had prepared in advance piled up in the corner of the yard. Among them, he could only recognize some target-shaped objects and a prop that Ritas had used in the first practical class, which seemed to be called a peephole.

Seeing this, Miriam knew that Ritas was not a sudden idea, and her inner motivation began to rise.

Just when Miriam was about to ask Ritas what he should do specifically.

I saw Ritas walked to the center of the backyard and stood straight.

Then he rotated on the spot with his right foot as the axis and drew a circle on the ground with the toe of his outstretched left foot.

"?"

This should be a dance move, right?
After cooking, is his next step to learn dancing?

Miriam began to have an ominous premonition in her heart.

"You can try it too."

Sure enough, Ritas's call came.

After hesitating for a while, Miriam, who felt that she could not get off the pirate ship at this point, gritted her teeth and walked over.

You won’t know until you try it, but it’s actually quite difficult to draw circles with your feet like Ritas does.

Miriam spent a long time trying, but all she could do was draw a crooked circle on the ground.

In comparison, the circle that Ritas had drawn before was drawn in an instant and was extremely standard.

However, Miriam did not think that Ritas's movements were so cool. The scene of the usually serious and rigid professor dancing in circles was so absurd that it would reappear in nightmares.

At Ritas's request, Miriam kept turning and drawing circles. It was not until he drew an acceptable, at least closed, ellipse on the ground at a fairly good speed that Ritas asked him to stop.

"Next, take out the practice wands."

Hearing that the magic wand was going to be used, Miriam felt hopeful again, but the next moment,
"Remember, you need to use the principles and methods of kneading dough to integrate the magic particles you have summoned. However, you must stop at the step of kneading the dough. Just like some doughs need to be refrigerated for a period of time after kneading before use."

"."

Miriam could not help but remain silent, realizing that it was fine when she said these words, but it was really outrageous when she heard others say these words. Moreover, judging from the complicated expression on Ritas's face, the professor probably didn't want to give such a weird instruction.

"I will use the 'Truth Mirror' to check the quality of your 'dough'. While kneading the dough, you need to slowly rotate your body, but be careful not to move your center of gravity away from the center. Imagine the circle under your feet is a clock, divided into twelve directions. Today is only the first day of training, so the temporary goal is to set you as the twelve directions of the clock, and distribute twelve pieces of dough."

Miriam lowered his head slightly as he listened to Ritas' words, and for a moment he didn't know in what direction his mentor was training him.

Become a chef who can cook while dancing, and then when you can't find a magic-related job after graduation, switch to working in a circus or something like that?
Miriam, somewhat reluctantly.

But he thought that if he argued with the professor, he would not be able to win. Moreover, he and the professor lived in the same dormitory, so he could not escape. Most importantly, he was the one who took the initiative to bring up the idea of "becoming stronger".
So, with a look of helplessness on her face, Miriam resigned herself to her fate and raised her wand, starting to spin around.

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first week of July.

It was already midsummer in the area around Earls, and the hot weather had forced Miriam, the last die-hard among the students, to wear a summer short-sleeved uniform.

However, among the faculty, there are still people like Ritas, who are wearing black robes that look hot at first glance.

When talking about the first Monday of every month, one cannot avoid the creative cuisine of Chef Kenny in the college restaurant.

On this day, Ritas was sitting in the restaurant with a dead look on his face, waiting for Kenny to serve his new creative dish named "Aurora".

Generally speaking, on this day, Ritas would rather go hungry than come to the college cafeteria to test his luck.

But, there is really no way this time.

Previously, when he was studying cooking in order to better teach Miriam, he received a lot of advice and help from Chef Kenny. So when Chef Kenny kindly invited him to try this month's creative cuisine, he couldn't refuse.

As the students on the sidelines looked on in amazement, Chef Kenny, a middle-aged man, twisted his waist seductively and walked over with a plate in one hand and one finger raised in the other.

After placing the wailing plate on the table, Kenny leaned over to Ritas's ear and whispered,
"Ritas, my dear, I'm so happy that you can come today~"

"."

The reason why Ritas has never been disgusted by the ever-changing way of addressing the Bathing Goddess is probably because he learned it from Chef Kenny during his college career.

"As expected of you, I have always had high hopes for you. You have already realized the ultimate of magic science at such a young age, which is cooking. You have saved yourself from taking decades of detours—"

"?"

Where has he heard this?
It’s better to say that there are so many things at the end of magic studies, such as a watering can or something?
Complaining in his heart, Ritas faced the "Aurora" with the lid removed.

How should I put it? This palette of gorgeous colors really has a bit of the aurora atmosphere.

However, anyone with a little common sense knows that even brightly colored mushrooms are generally not edible.
After taking a long breath, Ritas used a fork to check his fortune for the entire month.

After class.

In the teaching building, in Ritas's tutor's office, a pink-haired girl who was several sizes larger than an average person appeared.

"Um, Professor Ritus, are you okay?"

Although Iris was called into the office alone by her tutor, she was not worried about herself but was concerned about Ritas instead.

In fact, Tas had a grim face throughout the day. He even said "apology" several times during class and added (spit) a lot of fertilizer to the flowers and plants around the teaching building.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Cadet Iris."

As it turns out, Ritas's fortune for the entire month has not been very good.

However, what he said about himself being fine was true.

After all, getting all the Aurora out of your body probably isn't such a bad thing.

"Student Iris, I invited you to this office today because..."

"Professor, you probably don't know, right? There have been a lot of bad rumors about you circulating in the academy recently!"

Iris interrupted Ritas and spoke quickly.
"For example, there are rumors that it was Mr. Ai Zan who poached students from the Yew Fir class, which incurred the professor's wrath and caused him to disappear from the face of the earth. There are also rumors that the professor is running a suspicious church, using the name of a seminar to do whatever he wants to female students, and using his influence in the academic world to oppress the guards and security knights of Spring City."

"."

Aren’t these rumors a bit too specific?

Moreover, although the description is somewhat malicious, it cannot be completely said to be a rumor.
Ritas listened with a strange expression on his face, but he did not interrupt Iris. He just waited patiently until this student who was deliberately trying to change the subject had nothing to say.

Iris continued to struggle for about ten minutes, and finally stopped telling the story because of dry mouth.

Ritas waved his hand, opened the window, took some flower petals from outside the window and some clean water and handed them to Iris.

"Student Iris, I asked you to come to my office today to inquire about the time for individual courses."

Ritas continued with the topic he had just started.

The individual course that was supposed to be held before the midterm exam was delayed until now due to various reasons. It was not because Ritas treated the students differently and only paid special attention to those very special students, but because Iris had always said that she could not spare the time.

Normally, it was impossible for a student to be so busy that he could not spare an hour for more than a month. So, it was obvious that Iris was deliberately avoiding this matter.

"Hmm, Xia Lu and Sylvie, haven't you gone to your private lessons yet?"

Iris lowered her head and spoke while fiddling with her fingers.

However, even Iris herself, who mentioned this matter, knew that Xia Lu and Sylvie had their own reasons for not taking individual classes.

As for Xia Lu, the enrollment time is too short, so Ritas needs to observe more before choosing the content of the individual course. As for Sylvie, it is probably because she is the only all-round excellent student in the Yew Fir class, so she really does not need to take individual courses.

In comparison, Iris, a student who was neither careless nor had cognitive impairment, only ranked third from the bottom in the midterm exam. In fact, she had been in need of remedial classes for a long time.

"In fact, individual courses are not mandatory. So, if student Iris really doesn't like it, she can cancel it."

After thinking about it for a while, Ritas took the initiative to suggest.

After all, private classes are basically a solitary environment. It is understandable that a teenage girl, especially one who likes all kinds of rumors and gossip, would not want to be alone with a male professor.

"No, no. That's not the reason and I don't want to cancel it."

Iris waved her hands repeatedly and took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"If Professor Ritas has time, I can always make it. So, regarding the content of the individual course, I hope the professor can help me check my body!"

".What?"

Ritas thought he was hallucinating, so he looked around and remembered that he usually did not bring the white disc to class.
