......

"That's called...um, rejection reaction? Yeah, that's it."

Nia's fingers scratched the table unconsciously. After thinking hard for a long time, she finally came up with a word that suited her taste. She frowned and said:

"If it's native, there's no problem, but at least one of the three energies in her body must be foreign! And..."

"and?"

"The growth rate is amazing!"

Red Yama added that it would be fine if he hadn't paid attention to it before, but after paying attention, he found out how terrifying the energy growth rate in Lysitia's body was. The collision of three different energies was like a fission reaction, and it continued to increase in value at an exaggerated speed. If it was a "primitive" energy like spiritual power, the more the better, but there were foreign objects in her power, and the increased energy itself did not belong to Lysitia herself, which would only cause a greater burden on her body...

The upper limit of Lysitia's endurance is probably only ten years, and that's if left alone. If these energies are stimulated for some reason, for example, if she tries to actively practice or increase them, she will only die faster!

"The specific increase rate is approximately——"

"Two thousandths of the current state..."

Red Enma stared at Saki and said:

"By the way, she is now equivalent to ten acting chiefs!"

"Energy equivalent to 30,000 spiritual power, increasing by 0.2% per day..."

Saki counted with his fingers and his face suddenly became gloomy.

In just ten years, Lysitia could accumulate energy equivalent to more than 40 million spiritual powers!

In the same amount of time, if Saki practices step by step, he can only produce a few hundred thousand units of spiritual power at best!

"What's the solution?"

"If we can find out the nature of the external energy and seal or separate it, we should be able to solve this problem..."

Undoubtedly, this matter is extremely difficult. I'm afraid it's the same in Lysitia's own world. Just by simply describing the world structure, Saki feels that it's full of big problems. There is even a national-level academy that specializes in training non-commissioned officers. In this case, what's the difference between letting a weak girl lose the only power to protect herself and letting her be killed?

Well, this also explains why the girl desperately desires power, because she is well aware of her situation. Since she cannot separate herself from this power, why not learn to use it and apply it as much as possible while she can still control it, so as to do something?

He did not lose his life goal because of his almost certain fate, nor did he give up on himself, nor did he seek revenge on society. On the contrary, he made up his mind to study hard and burn out the last of his life on the right path...

She is only fifteen years old!

Considering the presence of foreign elements in the three forces...it's almost obvious that this child must have a story, but even so she still -

"What a strong child!"

Saki couldn't help but start wiping the corners of his eyes, which startled Nia.

Are you crying already? No way, no way, really not!

“I can’t help but shed tears when I see the hard-working children!”

"Shouldn't we be cheering them on?!"

"That's another matter."

After wiping away a few tears, Saki's face straightened and he silently moved back a little so that his field of vision could include Nia and Red Yama at the same time.

"I will continue to follow up on Lysitia, but before the child speaks out, you should keep it secret like you did with Satoko. If it doesn't work out in the end... wait for a chance to go to Lysitia's world, the continent called Fordola, and maybe we can find a way to have the best of both worlds."

"Good~"

"No problem~"

"Then there's the second point,"

After making the first arrangement, Saki frowned.

First it was Satoko, then Lysithea. Both students suffered from some degree of incurable disease. At a glance, two out of thirteen students were sick. This ratio was really scary. This was mainly because he pulled all the students in from the underworld. Who knows what kind of trouble will happen in the future.

So, Saki decided.

"Let's get Xia and Baihu here later."

"When new students enter the school, especially those recruited by the principal, they should be taken in for a physical examination without any hesitation!"

Red Yama: I'm being pushed into a corner...

Nia: It’s urgent...

But he was forced into a corner. How could he bear to have a critically ill person coming in every now and then?

It's not a problem. It's good for teachers to solve the problems of their lovely students. But if they can't solve the problem with their own strength, and can only watch the strong students struggle and suffer, it's very heartbreaking and uncomfortable.

After all, it's right under our noses!

Moreover, if you think about it carefully, there are more students suffering from "terminal illnesses" than just Satoko and Lysitia...

Saki looked at Nia who was playing with her hair out of boredom, and his eyes became a little complicated.

There are cannibals who have gained more powerful strength but lost their rebirth and eternal life. Although there are many cannibals in the underworld who have been alive and well for hundreds of years, Saki can name four of them off the top of his head, but it is ultimately a matter of probability.

He can clearly see it, right in front of him, but he is powerless to change it. This is the limitation of ordinary people...

"Only at times like this do I feel lucky that I came into contact with spiritual power..."

Thinking about the ominous magic book in his mind, Saki thought from the bottom of his heart.

Even with spiritual power, I may not be able to change the current situation, but at least I can find a way out.

Nia: “…”

I always think this guy has a weird look in his eyes...

"...Ah, come on, there's a place that the acting chief must take a look at!"

"place?"

Saki tilted his head and looked at Nia, who just spread her hands in confusion.

Is there any place in this school that they haven't visited?

"Chirp, this is a good place, chirp~"

In response to the two's confusion, Hong Yanma just smiled mysteriously, stood up leisurely, and walked towards the cafeteria entrance. His steps were neither hurried nor slow, but very steady, which made Sakichiniya, who was impatient, very anxious, but she could only follow behind this little guy obediently.

......

“Ah…Ah—Ah~Chiu!”

In the library, the petite white-haired girl sneezed slightly, put away the handkerchief silently, and then hugged herself.

Weak, pitiful and helpless.

She was not scared by those ghost stories. As a mature lady, she would not be scared by those things that fooled children to the point of being unable to sleep at night or even catching a cold. She just simply... yes, felt a little cold.

But I heard that the temperature will drop when those things pass by...

"No, it's impossible! No matter what, those things can't come out during the day. No! They don't exist at all!"

After forcing herself to cheer up and dispel the fear in her heart, Lysitia continued to shift her attention to the book spread out on her lap.

She has no time to think about those things, only to keep learning, learning, and then growing, and to achieve something in a very short time, so that she can...

......

With curiosity and anticipation about the place that made Red Yama so mysterious, the three of them walked out of the cafeteria, passed through the teaching building, headed north along the edge of the playground, passed the dormitory, and then walked to the back of the dormitory, the northernmost part of the college island.

It was a forest, no problem. There was a forest on the inside of the wall surrounding the entire academy island. In other words, except for the empty section at the school gate, the rest of the place was surrounded by trees, but the forest in front of us was a little special.

On the side facing the school was a large grove of tall fir trees, and at the edge, close to the wall, there was a lush bamboo forest. The temperature and humidity of the air in the bamboo forest were much higher than other places in the school. The two of them, with doubts rising in their hearts, walked forward in silence on the gravel road that clearly showed traces of human activity.

Saki had a vague idea of ​​what he would encounter on the way, and his confusion was gradually mixed with a little disbelief. Nia was confused from beginning to end. Soon, the scenery in front of her suddenly became clear.

"We've arrived~"

"......wall?"

What appeared in the eyes of the three people was a wall, or a bamboo wall. An area was enclosed by the gap between the dense and thick bamboo forest and the outer wall. Thick water mist struggled out from the narrow gaps in the bamboo. Saki's expression became more and more weird.

No way... No way, no way, it can't be what he imagined, right?

"It's the one that the acting chief imagined~"

As he spoke, Red Yama raised his hand and pointed to the left and right sides of the bamboo wall. Two exquisite wooden houses could be vaguely seen through the cover of the bamboo forest.

"That's the locker room~"

"It's true..."

Nia: "Eh? What? What are you talking about?"

"...this place"

Saki raised his head and looked at the mist covering the bamboo wall, as if he had given up thinking.

“It’s a hot spring!”

Nia: "......Huh???????"

......

This was the place that the sparrows of Yanma Pavilion discovered by chance when they were searching for the dead rat. There is a narrow path hidden in the woods behind the dormitory building, and a bamboo forest deep in the woods and an open-air hot spring with all the facilities available. No one knows whether it existed here from the beginning, or it suddenly appeared after the students joined... No matter which one it is, it cannot change the outrageous nature of this hot spring.

This is a floating island, not a super-large arus like Spebbia, whose body temperature is high enough to build a geothermal power station. Where did this hot spring come from? !

...Well, this is just like the source of the school's supplies and water, it's all a mystery. Maybe it's magic on the surface, but in fact there is a super-powerful semi-perpetual motion machine and floating device inside the floating island, with food factories that can synthesize substances at the atomic level, water purification plants, etc., and the hot springs are just a byproduct of the coolant used in the operation of these devices... or something.

You see, didn't it instantly change from fantasy to science fiction? After all, this thing is just like the cat that came back to life and died. Before the principal came out to explain, it could be a magical existence, or it could be a pure technological product.

thump~

"After all, a hot spring is not much different from a hot bath in some sense, right?"

"There's a huge difference! Recuperation, relaxation, and so much more...these two are completely different things!"

"Emmmm...Where's Nia?"

"...I refuse to comment."

The girl buried her heart in the water, not participating in the debate between the two teachers. For the sake of convenience, she switched her form before entering the water and soaked in the water as a short-haired Gula girl.

That's right, they are now... in the hot springs!

Since they were already here, there was still some time before the afternoon class, and they also wanted to test whether the hot spring water was harmful to the human body. Saki took the lead in bathing in the cabin and went in. Nia tried to follow closely behind...

Then he was dragged directly by Red Yama to the hot spring on the other side.

Unfortunately, the hot spring is not for mixed bathing and is blocked by a bamboo wall in the middle. The springs are not interconnected, which made Saki a little disappointed, and Nia was also a little disappointed.

"It's too early for mixed bathing!"

Red Yama sat on the edge of the hot spring with his arms folded and a small red ball on his head. Even in the hot spring instead of his home kitchen, he was still so majestic.

Then... Nia suddenly realized something was wrong. The shocking discovery made the girl slowly stick her head out of the hot spring and her eyes fell on the "dumpling" on top of Red Yama's head.

"Hmm... Mr. Kurenai actually has... long hair?"

"Eh? Red has long hair?"

"You just discovered it now?"

Red Yama held up the little red ball on his head with a helpless look on his face.

"If Nia or Guang cook like they usually do, it will have a big impact, so I always tie it up~"

"Is this so..."

“I didn’t notice at all…”

Nia and Saki, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, began to recall the Red Enma's usual attire at the same time. It seemed, it seemed... that she really had a braid of astonishing length! However, at first glance, the long red braid blended into the haori and could not be recognized at all.

After all, she is also very short...or rather, very petite.

But having said that...

'Ms. Hong also has long hair...'

Nia buried her little face in the water again, hiding her thoughts with her red face soaked in the hot water, and fell into deep thought.

As far as she knew, her teacher, Saki Saki... was obsessed with long hair!

Recalling this, Nia's sense of crisis exploded in an instant!
