Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 85 Shocking Change
"The test is terminated! The test is terminated! Gather to me! Gather to me!"

In the third labyrinth of Murri, which was swept by a catastrophe like the collapse of heaven and earth, a faculty member of Earls College shouted at the top of his lungs.

In this situation where it was obviously a huge accident, he shouted that the test should be terminated, which was a good thing. However, he was the best performer among the people around him.

One in ten thousand.

This is the probability of encountering danger after arranging a practical test in a dying maze that has been thoroughly cleaned.

In order to prepare for this one in ten thousand chance, the academy conducted several emergency drills for the relevant personnel. But obviously, during those drills, most of the academy staff were absent-minded.

Faced with the sudden change, almost everyone panicked and didn't know what to do.

However, the changes will not give them any time to adapt.

The ground cracked with a loud noise, as if tearing apart all the space in the maze.

And a large number of monsters gradually emerged from all directions, like a swarm of locusts, and in the blink of an eye they swept across every corner where the light was.

The "checkpoints" arranged like a stage had long been broken into pieces and scattered to who knows where. The tests carefully prepared for the students were completely overwhelmed by the real tests.

As the "sky" and "land" in the maze began to reverse, everything inside fell into chaos.

Somewhere in the light-dappled maze, a flash of magical light flashed quickly.

Cecilia Windsor, the recognized leader of the elementary department and a student of Orange Glory, accurately used several balls of fire magic to shoot down some of the black shadows flying towards her.

Even though she could see the shadows clearly as the flames flickered, she still couldn't be sure what they were.

They are like some flying mud, but from the mud some strange things occasionally stick out, such as insect wings, animal legs, etc. However, without exception, they are incomplete.

The only thing Cecilia could be sure of was that those things were alive, and if left alone, they would attack nearby living things.

"How's it going over there?"

Cecilia asked loudly without turning around, and soon got the response of "Just barely manage!"

The one who responded was Kraft Schneizer, who was not recognized among the students in Orange Glory but had a high probability of becoming the second in the elementary department.

Including these two, there were a total of four students from the Orange Brilliance class gathered around.

When the accident happened, Cecilia and Kraft were taking a small test at a checkpoint with their partners one after the other. The three of them, including Kraft, were undoubtedly lucky at the moment.

Because they didn't get separated from Cecilia.

In this era when mages are almost incapable of actual combat, everyone in Earls College lacks the ability to deal with emergencies. Even the adult faculty and staff are mostly behaving in a rather embarrassing way, so it is obviously difficult to ask the students to face it calmly.

But Cecilia was apparently one of the few students who could remain calm.

Perhaps this had something to do with her daily battles of wits and courage with her family's followers. Or perhaps it was a natural talent.

Anyway, facing the dizzy maze, facing the terrible experience of being thrown into the air and falling into the huge cracks that appeared after the wall rotated, Cecilia always suppressed her panic.

She held the wand tightly in her hand the whole time and used wind magic as much as possible to reduce the damage caused to her and the people around her when they fell.

Moreover, after landing, he stopped the screams of the other two female students from Chenghui Academy by shouting at them sternly, and gathered the four of them together to fight the unknown.

"What's next?"

Kraft, with a pale face, asked in a low voice.

In addition to being terrified by the situation, he was also severely exhausted.

Soon after they landed in this place, which was not sure whether it was inside the wall or under the ground, those things that looked like monsters poured out.

The number of monsters that Kraft crushed with magic may not be half as many as Cecilia's, but he has already vaguely felt his limit.

In terms of hard conditions, the gap between Kraft and Cecilia is actually not that big.

But even with the most basic elemental attack magic, he found it difficult to hit his opponent.

Putting aside the stage of yelling and casting magic randomly, now Kraft can only barely hit one out of three.

First, due to various psychological and environmental factors, Kraft's magic was at least a fist away from the landing point he imagined. Secondly, his opponent was moving. Kraft's reaction speed and dynamic vision, which were other factors outside of his magical abilities, were messed up by his nervous mentality.

In other words, the movement trajectories of these monsters are basically straight lines, otherwise the hit rate of Kraft's magic will be further reduced.

Kraft's hit rate was so poor and his condition in all aspects was almost reaching the limit. The reason why he and Cecilia could only clear out the monsters at the same time was because the other two female students who were lying at their feet were performing even worse.

In contrast, Cecilia, who almost never failed and accurately ignited the attacking monsters, was silently demonstrating that her test scores were not the only thing that reached the top level.

"Until the situation around us becomes clear, it is best to stay where we are. With the defensive magic on the pages of the magic book, the academy will find us as soon as possible. Although we will be attacked by monsters here, at least we can hold on for the time being. If we go to a place where the light cannot reach, there may be more dangers hidden."

Cecilia concentrated her attention and scanned the surroundings, speaking in a low voice.

It wasn't until something unexpected happened that Cecilia realized that the "magic pages" distributed to each of them by the academy were very effective.

During the violent changes in the maze, Cecilia used magic to protect herself as much as possible. However, the reason why she was still safe and sound amidst the many frictions, collisions, falls, and blows was undoubtedly because of the red magic barrier on her body that was still working.

However, this magic barrier is a consumable, and it becomes weaker and weaker as it is hit and as time passes.

Cecilia's situation was relatively good. Although she was not the most intact among the four, she did not feel shaky.

The worst was for Kraft on the other side, because he had detonated several powerful magics at close range in a panic, weakening the magic barrier around him and injuring his shoulder.

"Stay where you are and wait for rescue?"

Kraft knew Cecilia was right.

It was not until the maze collapsed violently that they realized that the reason there was light in the almost airtight maze was because the walls of the maze were covered with luminous moss and other things. However, as the walls collapsed and turned over, the luminous walls split in all directions and could no longer provide enough light.

But even though he knew clearly what was right, he was almost going crazy now.

The pain coming from my body, the color of the protective barrier becoming increasingly faint, and the monsters that continued to emerge without giving me a moment to breathe.

If he didn't suppress his negative emotions for even a moment, he would feel like he was losing control.

A few dozen days ago, he had just suffered from the "Moneyball Seminar", and now he was inexplicably encountering a disaster in an exam.

What the hell is family honor?
Drop out of school!
He just wanted to leave this academy where accidents happened every day.

With a rage, Kraft used magic again and pierced a muddy monster with a stone spike.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief because he hit the target this time, the ground suddenly began to shake again.

"careful!"

Cecilia's voice was so timely, but it was useless because this time the ground beneath their feet began to tilt.

Soon, the four students from Chenghui's class fell uncontrollably into the pitch-black "abyss" along with the scattered sand and stones on the ground.

Kraft reacted quickly, causing a thick stone spike to extend from the sloping ground, and then he tightly grasped the tip of the stone spike.

The other students, who also did not want to fall, grabbed Kraft's clothes and gradually slid down to their ankles.

For a moment, Kraft wanted to kick them away, but the kindness in his heart overcame these selfish thoughts.

After a while, the shaking of the ground stopped.

Although it was a difficult situation, Kraft managed to hold on.

But before he could catch his breath, a large number of muddy monsters rushed over from the other end of the sloping ground.

But what made his scalp tingle even more was the magical light that began to emerge from under his feet.

"Stop! Not at this time."

The voice of Cecilia, who was at the bottom, was interrupted by the explosion caused by magic.

boom!
A magic filled with fear and stupidity led everyone towards the abyss.

"Mercy——"

When the maze began to turn upside down, the location of the treasure chest suddenly appeared, almost at the center of the change.

As a result, the six students from the Zishanmu class, who were standing not far away, fell into the crack under their feet and fell in different directions.

While falling, Iris quickly grabbed the petite figure closest to her. Then she stretched out her hand as far as she could towards Merci, who was right in front of her and seemed within reach.

But
As a huge rock fell down and blocked the two of them, Merci and Sylvie, Iris and Xia Lu fell to different ends respectively.

"Good weight."

Soon after.

Somewhere in the maze.

The slender Xia Lu's voice was also suppressed, and she struggled to crawl out from under Iris.

After coming out, Xia Lu dusted herself off and took out a small mirror designed like a pocket watch from her waist. After opening it, the lens inside was already broken into pieces, but it did not prevent Xia Lu from checking her face from the broken mirror to see if it was still elegant.

"fine."

Then, Xia Lu raised her arms slightly and checked the red protective barrier around her.

"This seems to be quite high-end stuff. It's a shame to use it up like this. No, no, I'm already the eldest daughter of the academy. I can't be so petty."

Xia Lu muttered to herself, squatting next to Iris's huge body, then rummaged around her waist, lining pockets and other places, and pulled out the pages of the magic book distributed by the academy.

"Is that so? No, is that so? No, that's not it. Tsk, what a hassle!"

Finally, Xia Lu tore off the pages of the magic book.

This is how to use the magic book page in an emergency. After all, the original intention of designing this kind of convenient magic circle is not to make students scramble for a long time and then never be able to use it.

However, the defensive barrier created in this way would be much less effective and would not last long.

"Since we have done what we should do, I'll see you again if we are lucky enough, Iris~"

After saying goodbye to Iris calmly, Xia Lu turned and left. However, she returned not long after.

"Well, I don't really want to make the professor angry. So, for the sake of our friendship, can you keep this a secret for me? If you don't answer, I'll take it as your consent~ Tsk."

Xia Lu clicked her tongue, then squatted beside the unconscious Iris and thought for a moment.

Finally, probably because she felt that she couldn't hide it anyway and there were other witnesses who saw her and Iris falling together, Xia Lu didn't choose to abandon Iris.

She searched Elise's body again and found the "survival kit" that Ritas had prepared for them.

Xia Lu opened the package which was very heavy, and it was probably only carried by Iris, and examined it carefully.

The ignition tool should not be used.

Xia Lu turned her head slightly and saw a waterfall with flowing magma and a lake filled with burning liquid not far away.

That magma is also where Xia Lu and Iris are, so there is no shortage of light sources.

Although this scene was somewhat unbelievable, it was not particularly strange for an intermediate maze where a treasure chest could appear but something was obviously wrong.

Xia Lu has seen even more bizarre "hole traps".

After searching for a while, Xia Lu found a small bottle.

Judging from the name, it should be a transparent bottle of emergency medicine, filled with a palm-sized white radish. However, on top of the white radish, there grew an extremely shocked face.

Is this a naturally formed face?
With such doubts, Xia Lu took out the strange white radish and stuffed it directly into Iris's mouth.

Iris, who was unconscious, naturally couldn't chew. After worrying for a while about how to make Iris eat, Xia Lu looked at the bottle again and found that the strange medicine prepared by the professor for them was to be squeezed and applied externally.

Taking the white radish in her hand again, Xia Lu just squeezed it slightly and it burst into juice.

Looking at the dark green palm, Xia Lu's face flashed a ferocious look. After taking a deep breath, she smeared the juice on Iris's body, where there were obvious injuries.

After applying it, Xia Lu wanted to find something to wipe her hands, but she caught a glimpse of the black mud-like monsters slowly gathering around her.

"."

Xia Lu looked down at her hands, then at the black mud, and decided to just forget it.

Although she didn't know how dangerous those monsters were, it was still troublesome to gather them in large numbers. So, Xia Lu deftly walked around the mud, raised her foot, and kicked the monsters into pieces one by one.

Soon, there was only one mud monster left.

Looking at the ear-like thing squirming out from the monster's "body", Xia Lu stepped forward and grabbed it, then leaped up lightly as if flying and landed beside the lava lake.

"Hahaha. It really is making some interesting noises."

Squatting down, Xia Lu stuffed the monster that was pulling her "ear" into the lava, listening to the continuous "sizzling" feedback, and let out a low but light laugh.
