Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 93 Genius
A little while ago.

Through the small red window, he could only look at Cecilia who was crushed by the boulder, and the bathing goddesses of Kraft and Tabatha who were quite at a loss beside him, feeling anxious and solemn.

The first reaction of the goddess of bathing was that if Cecilia was a student of the Yewwood class, Ritas would definitely not let her encounter such a thing. And the second reaction was, what on earth was the instructor of the Orange Brilliance class doing!
But this was obviously not the time to complain. Every second that passed would make Cecilia's chances of being rescued even lower.

As the Bathing Goddess has emphasized many times before, she is not without wisdom, but simply does not want to think.

After one semester and three months, the Bathing Goddess had already understood that in the Star Pattern World where Ritas was, she was not a "player" but more of a "spectator".

Moreover, she actually didn't hate the fact that Professor Ritas would either ignore, misinterpret, or perfunctorily agree to the various instructions she issued, and then do his own thing with almost no influence from her.

On the one hand, the goddess of bathing felt that since she was just a spectator, it would be more interesting if everything she saw went as expected and there were some surprises that she had not expected.

Although, sometimes, what Professor Ritas creates is a little too surprising.

On the other hand, the goddess of bathing felt that even as a player, if she wanted to intervene in this world, her reasons would be "I can do it myself" or "I hate iron for not being able to make steel". She didn't want to watch the characters she was familiar with always walking on the wrong path and sliding into the abyss step by step in this world that would flow with time.

But in fact, the Bathing Goddess suddenly realized one day that Ritas was actually doing quite well.

Although he is a native character, Ritas seems to know more than this goddess with the third eye, and is better at perceiving, analyzing and calculating. Moreover, although he is still a little stagnant, he has his own unique teaching method, which will not let the students' talents be buried in vain. He will also do his best to prevent all the "incorrect" things that may happen in this world.

Although the design of the game "Star Mark" is like that, so it is destined to be unavoidable. But compared to the characters in the game who can only strengthen themselves and then follow the instructions to kill the enemy on the battlefield, the goddess of bathing still prefers the students who do not need to fight and kill and truly live in another world.

After discovering these things, the Bathing Goddess stopped complaining about Ritas, a Pokémon with low intimacy and who didn't listen to her orders at all. She completely "lay down".

The Bathing Goddess didn't know what was happening to her, and what it meant that she could connect to a real world based on the game world. However, she knew that under normal circumstances, when encountering such a thing, she should have shouldered the fate of a world.

The existence of Ritas allows her to not worry about these heavy things. She can be more comfortable being a bathing goddess who can't help at ordinary times, and sometimes says something that makes Ritas either troubled or stares at her and asks "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

However, on normal days the bathing goddess could lie down all the time, but facing the current emergency, she "sat" up.

Faced with the suffering of the beautiful girl, the Bathing Goddess's brain worked at an unprecedented speed, and then she made a sound again.

"Tabasha, are you willing to awaken the hidden power within you to help others?"

"If it's a choice between helping or not helping, well, I'll still help first, right?"

Tabatha Emin, a student of the Green Ivy Academy, listened to the voice of the Bathing Goddess, looked around and thought for a while before answering.

And Kraft, who was still fighting against the weak monster, cursed his own fate.

It was just a practical test, not to mention the various things that had happened to it. The only person who seemed to be able to help, the chief, was crushed by a rock. The other student who was finally picked up from the monster pile was a madman who kept talking to himself.
What a short and weird life!
"In that case, you must listen carefully to what I say next. First, you must know that you have a power from the ancient stars in your body. And, you can release it through a magic circle called 'Star Mark Emblem'."

".?"

Tabatha looked dazed.

It’s no wonder that Tabatha felt confused; the Bathing Goddess herself wasn’t sure either.

The reason why she thought Tabatha might also be a star mark holder was because the small red window that appeared in the emergency pointed at her.

After the labyrinth changed, two emergency windows appeared. One was like the night of the Summer Festival, pointing to Merci's surroundings. The other was Tabatha.

On the surface, the only thing in common between Tabatha and Merci is that they are both in the "Bath Seminar", that is, they are both believers of the Bath Goddess.

But if it is just believers, then Cecilia is also a believer, so an emergency window should also appear.

If the indirect believers brought by the bathing seminar were effective, then there was no reason why direct believers from the church like Cecilia would not be effective. Moreover, the emergency window for more critical figures did not appear.

Ritas.

As the founder of the church and the seminar, if believers alone counted, there was no reason why Ritas should not be included. And since he didn't even have the time to hold the disk, there was no reason why he shouldn't be in an emergency.

Therefore, the logic of the Bathing Goddess's church system in selecting emergency windows must be somewhere else.

While thinking, the Bathing Goddess suddenly thought of Ritas's previous speculation. In the "Star Mark" world of the game, Engel, who is a "Star Citizen" and whose mission is to monitor and protect the Star Mark holder, will not only join the Magic Ball Seminar, but also transfer to the Green Ivy School. Therefore, he believes that there is a Star Mark holder hidden in the Green Ivy School who has not officially appeared in the game.

A female student of the Green Ivy Academy. She only has one thing in common with Merci. Ritas, who is unaware of her bad luck, thinks "it can't be such a coincidence".
The Bathing Goddess felt that all the clues were connected.

Tabatha is the hidden star mark holder. Or rather, in this situation, she must be!
"In short, you need to calm your mind first. Perhaps, this is a very difficult thing to do in such an environment. However, you must empty your mind and body to feel that power."

"Close your eyes."

Tabatha closed her eyes.

"Relax."

Tabatha breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't think about anything"

At the direction of the Bath Goddess, Tabatha followed every instruction.

Perhaps because she usually commands the rebellious monster Ritas, the Bathing Goddess is not used to Tabatha being so obedient.

Speaking of which, why did Tabatha easily believe that she was a "goddess" from the very beginning?
The goddess of bathing was a little confused, but now was not the time to dwell on this issue. No matter what the reason was, it was undoubtedly a good thing that the other party could cooperate at a critical moment.

"Next"

"Huhu."

".? Eh? Tabatha? Cadet Tabatha!? Are you asleep? Seriously? Do you know where you are now? Wake up! Wake up—"

The Bathing Goddess called out for a long time before she successfully woke up Tabatha, who had fallen asleep while standing with her head tilted after emptying her mind and body.

Although she is the original body of the Bath Goddess in the Bath Goddess Church, she is still sure of one thing.

There are no normal people who join her church!

At almost the same time, in another corner of the maze.

Amid the flying blue flames, Sylvie was shivering in the corner with a pale face.

Ever since the strange eyeball entangled Merci, Merci suddenly began to talk to herself like in a dream, and then started to attack her.

"Please rest assured, professor, I will definitely catch it and won't let it come and disturb us." So what kind of illusion did you see!
Sylvie screamed in her heart, and dodged a whistling blue flame with great difficulty by diving.

It’s true what the saying goes, the more inconspicuous a student is in daily life, the more dangerous he is!
The previous Engel, whose presence was as thin as air, suddenly became an assassin. She kept her head down most of the time, so when she got angry, she was really angry compared to Merci, who was more recognizable with her hair whorls on her face.
All the monsters she had encountered in this maze combined were not as scary as Merci alone!
Just when Sylvie had almost no way to retreat and had already foreseen a future where she would be burned to charcoal, Merci suddenly stopped.

"Ehhhhhh? Lady Bathing Goddess?"

“Attack, attack Sylvie? No way, why would I do such a thing?”

Mercy's voice sounded much more normal now, without the sound of sleep talk before. However, this kind of self-talk was even more terrifying.

"But, will that hurt the professor? Well, that makes sense."

Just when Sylvie thought that Merci's madness might have passed and wanted to move closer to see if she could communicate with her.

Merci clasped her hands in front of her chest and made a gesture to gather strength.

then
call--

The excessive blue flame spread from Merci's chest and burst out in all directions, just like a peacock spreading its tail.

The strange eyeball that was wrapped around Merci naturally turned into ashes in an instant.

"."

Looking at the fire that could almost burn down a cabin, Sylvie swallowed hard.

"It's really an illusion. No, no, I don't feel sorry. Um, it's okay. I, I'm not angry. Is there a trick?"

Although Merci seemed to have returned to normal, her constant mumbling still added tremendous mental pressure to Sylvie.

Although the blue flame released by Merci was extinguished, some black mud monsters were affected, causing the flame to spread in a small area around them.

The flames spread along the wall to the top of the cave, burning down a black cocoon that was originally hanging.

Paji.

The newly formed black cocoon burst after it fell to the ground, and inside the cocoon was an old man with a happy smile on his face.

"I'm back! Tabatha, listen to me carefully. What I'm going to say next may be a bit stream-of-consciousness and abstract, but please remember that this is your senior who can use the Star Mark freely. Hey! Are you that sleepy? It's not hibernation season yet!"

The bathing goddess, who always maintains a dignified posture in front of the beautiful girl, shouted these words to Tabatha, which shows that she was really anxious.

Tabatha woke up trembling with fear at the shout of the goddess of bathing, and after absorbing Merci's "experience", she started to try again.

Tabatha closed her eyes again, exhaled steadily, and felt the special power in her body that was somewhat similar to magic particles, but incompatible with her overall body.

After a long time, just when the bathing goddess began to wonder if Tabatha had come again.

Suddenly, her long hair, which had been braided into a pigtail, completely let out, and as it fluttered slightly, it was tinged with a faint fluorescent light.

"This is... Hold on! Hold on, Tabatha! Now is the moment. Transform the power you feel into..."

Seeing that Tabatha really showed signs of awakening power, the Bathing Goddess immediately continued to guide her.

Before she said the last words, the Bathing Goddess remembered the words that Ritas had corrected her with when she was "guiding" Noah in the tree house.

Because Merci is special, she completely divides her magic and the power in her body into defense and attack. However, Merci's situation is not applicable to other star mark holders.

so.
"Transform it into something that comes up subconsciously in your heart. It can be anything, and it will change according to your wishes. It is something that belongs to you and exists only for you!"

The goddess of bathing actually didn't know how much her guidance would help Tabatha, nor did she know whether her words were correct.

However, the image of Ritas emerged in her mind.

No matter how much uncertainty and anxiety Ritas has in his heart, he will never show his fear in front of the students. Therefore, even if he does not exude an aura of confidence, he still gives people a feeling that he is always "right".

"Don't be afraid, that is your power, embrace it and release it completely!"

As the Bathing Goddess spoke, a strong purple light suddenly appeared under Tabatha's feet.

Under the reflection of the light, a large amount of lavender clouds appeared.

"What is this, what is this!"

Amid Kraft's screams, the mist quickly filled the entire space, and everything surrounded by the mist quickly lost its weight.

Looking at Tabatha, who was being lifted into the air surrounded by purple clouds and still looked half asleep and half awake.

On the other side of the screen, the bathing goddess showed a sincere smile after a brief moment of disbelief.

In any field, including magic, there are "geniuses".

And on this day, the "Star Pattern Realm" undoubtedly welcomed a genius that belonged to them.

Moreover, this genius was discovered by the goddess herself!

In the maze with constant roar.

Under the guidance of the Bathing Goddess, the group came to the end of a road with a terrain similar to a cliff.

"Judging from various factors such as the overall topography of the maze, the distribution of monsters' strengths and weaknesses, and the direction of power flow, the front should be where the 'parasitic core' attached to the maze is."

"Then, there is only one thing to do next, to destroy or cut off the connection between the parasitic core and the labyrinth."

"Don't keep Professor Ritas waiting too long."

"And remember, you must pay attention to your own safety!"

"."

Professor Ritas? Isn't that Xiao Li?
At the front of the crowd, Miriam, holding a disc, listened to the "holy" sound coming from it.
I always feel that there is something wrong with this goddess.
