Magical Cat

It's hard to imagine that someone could make such a big mess out of something so simple.

Melina was furious and her face turned ashen. She quickly took action to subdue the monster.

But Barbara didn't notice that the monster behind her had stopped chasing her. She continued running wildly through the bar, knocking over countless tables and chairs, screaming, "Help me! Help me!"

The others remained silent, their expressions strange.

Seeing their reaction, Barbara was shocked, angry, and even more flustered and helpless.

Lee En watched with amusement as Barbara made a fool of herself.

Seeing that Barbara was about to completely disgrace the Royal Magic Academy, Melina quickly intervened and restrained her as well.

Even after being restrained, Barbara continued to scream and shout, unaware that she was safe.

"Calm down, you're safe now!" Melina said irritably.

Barbara calmed down and looked back to find that the monster had already been controlled and was staring blankly at her from a distance.

It seems the monster was also frightened by her performance.

"For a mage to panic so much when faced with danger is truly outrageous!"

"Barbara, when you get back, you're going to have to copy the Wizard's Code of Conduct one hundred times as punishment. Reflect on your actions!"

Barbara opened her mouth, but in the end she obediently lowered her head, not daring to argue for herself.

Moreover, the previous scene kept replaying in her mind like a slideshow, making her feel both ashamed and angry, and soon she was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red.

"It's alright, but a little embarrassing," Li En joked with Elaine in private.

Elaine pretended not to hear.

After reprimanding Barbara, Melina turned to apologize, saying, "Sir Blue, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"Haha, it's nothing. After all, they're just kids. They'll definitely grow into excellent magicians in the future. Please take good care of them, Teacher Melina," Sir Blue replied with a smile.

Melina just gave a wry smile and didn't respond to that.

Then, she turned to everyone and said, "This is the thief who stole from Blue Jazz Bar."

As you can see, these creatures are elemental beings that live in magical rifts, called Rift Wanderers. They are not very dangerous on a regular basis and cannot harm our people through the rifts.

However, due to their deep-seated fascination with magical materials, they resort to such theft. They can't even steal other things.

Melina explained the situation to everyone, and Sir Blue finally understood why the silverware in his bar had mysteriously disappeared—it was all the work of these Rift Wanderers.

But these are elemental creatures after all. They're fine when they're not in their current form, but if they're pulled into the real world from the rift, it's extremely dangerous, and most adventurers can't handle them.

From the moment she heard the rumor, Melina understood the true identity of the thief she encountered at Blue Jazz Bar.

Just then, Blue Jazz Bar also sought help from the Royal Magic Academy, and Melina took the opportunity to give a special lecture on this matter.

However, when selecting students, Melina also had to consider some personal relationships, so she included Webber and Barbara as well.

Although their grades were decent for the class, they were still far from meeting Melina's expectations. She was already reluctant to teach them, and then Barbara embarrassed her, making Melina, the teacher, quite frustrated.

Melina took the wooden box back from Barbara. These were magical items that Barbara had carefully crafted. Since Barbara hadn't used them, there was no reason for them to go to waste, and they definitely needed to be recycled.

After collecting the wooden box, Melina released Barbara, letting her stand behind her with Sir Blue.

But seeing Elaine and the others still standing there, and Melina seemingly about to give them further instructions, Barbara felt wronged and pleaded, "Teacher, I was wrong just now, but I want to continue..."

Before Barbara could finish speaking, Melina raised her hand to interrupt her: "You're not feeling well right now. You should rest for a bit and observe the other students. Watching them is a learning experience for you too."

"teacher……"

Barbara cried out pitifully, but Melina remained unmoved.

Barbara grew even more anxious, her eyes reddening as she silently glanced at Blue Jazz beside her.

Sir Blue saw Barbara's grievances, but could only shake his head quietly, telling Barbara to stop being so temperamental.

This small interaction suggests that Sir Blue and Barbara are acquainted.

Li En happened to be watching Barbara make a fool of herself and happened to see this scene.

"I knew it, so this guy was using connections with the person in question."

After seeing that Barbara had calmed down, Melina looked around and, seeing that no other Rift Wanderers had appeared, decided to proceed to the next step.

"Listen carefully, these Rift Wanderers are now under my control with magic. What you need to do next is attack them with magic."

They are elemental creatures without any elemental attributes, and therefore have some resistance to most types of magic.

You must unleash your strongest attacks, otherwise they'll break free once they're hit, and things will get even worse then.

Upon hearing this, Barbara burst into tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

Sorry, Blue handed Barbara a handkerchief so she could wipe her tears.

"I'll give you one minute to prepare and come up with your attack strategy, and then you can launch your attack."

Remember, do not damage the tavern, or you will be responsible for any resulting damages.

Did you understand?

"We understand!" the four said in unison.

Immediately afterwards, they began to take action.

Elaine was in the aisle behind her. She backed away along the aisle and cleared the tables and chairs around her to avoid being affected later.

Melina made it very clear that if any losses were incurred, they would have to pay for them themselves.

The other classmates are fine; they all come from wealthy families and don't care about the money.

But Elaine is different. Who knows what kind of furniture is used in this seemingly grand bar? She might not even be able to afford to pay for a single chair.

Therefore, being careful and cautious is always a good idea.

Elaine retreated twenty meters in one breath before stopping.

This distance is about the same as the distance they use for target practice at school.

If it goes any further, the magic will be harder to control.

If we get too close, we won't have time to react to any unexpected events.

Elaine and Li En on her shoulder exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then immediately began casting a fireball spell.

The two have become increasingly in sync, and they can coordinate very well from chanting to compressing magic.

The others made similar preparations, creating distance before casting spells. However, compared to Elaine, the others had taken out magical items and were more thoroughly prepared.

Melina watched them prepare, timing it perfectly to one minute.

When the time came, Melina raised her hand, waved, and shouted, "Begin!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Elaine launched the fireball she had prepared at the distant Rift Wanderer.

The Rift Wanderer was tightly bound by the water flow and could not move at all. It could only watch helplessly as the fireball hurtled towards it, and its two small eyes suddenly shone brightly.

boom!

The fireball exploded, and the water that bound the wanderers in the rift turned into rising steam.

This was Elaine and Li En's strongest attack after they teamed up, and they were eager to see how powerful it would be in actual combat.

But the next moment, a figure emerged from the steam and rushed straight at them.

They are the rift wanderers who have escaped their predicament!
