Iris wasn’t really all right, she hugged me and then suddenly lost consciousness. Professor Tia, you’re so lax.
He put her in the professor’s nap room and went to the lab.
“Oh, I see.”
I explained the situation to her, and she heard one, knew ten and expanded her imagination to a hundred (or was it?). Professor Tia nodded with a satisfied look on her face.
“What are those tubes?”
“Are you testing me, knowingly asking questions? Well, as you might have guessed, the very concept of the magic level….”
“You see?”
“The number of tubes is the maximum magic level, and the one connected to the ground is definitely the current magic level. The ‘level is closed’, that is to say, something that should be connected to the ground is no longer connected for some reason.”
Professor Tia cowered her shoulders and pointed at me with a shrug of her shoulders and said, “Well, well, well, well.”
“You’re a god now.”
[TlNote: I was just about to say that… but yeah, he was sent to be a god.]
“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
“Now that I’ve come to this point, I’m convinced that I’m as good as, if not better than, the monsters of the gods or even better. I’m sure they’re as good as, if not better than, the monsters of the gods. Who are you to be able to see the concept of a divine level and still be able to mess with it?”
“Isn’t that an incoherent statement?”
“But, I get a headache trying to look at that thing.”
“I’m rather surprised it’s only that much? But?”
“Why don’t you calm down.”
“You could just see it, but you can’t just touch it and move it around. Hmm….”
“We’re not going to pull you out of the ground, are we?”
I don’t want to do that, of course. But, don’t you want to try it? I’m excited to see if that will lower the level and what other effects it will have on us.
She’s talking about expectations and all that. She’s really unsympathetic to strangers, isn’t she?
“Aside from that, there’s something I need to try as soon as possible.”
“Please don’t let other people get in the way.”
“It’s a barbed wire. Well, it’s all about you, isn’t it? Don’t you want to know exactly what your magic level is with your eyes?”
Oh, that.
“I can’t see my back.”
As well as not being able to physically turn my head, I tried to see it indirectly using surveillance wards and mirrors, but it didn’t work. Apparently, I need to look directly at it with my own eyes, and also at its back. I couldn’t even try to count the tubes on the ground.
“Why don’t we just cut off its head? Isn’t there a way to cut up the witch like that?”
“I’m not sure I’d be comfortable doing that to myself…”
I don’t want to be like Dullahan.
Mostly, I’m making an improved version of “Mirja’s Crystal” that can display three digits. I’m not going to be able to get it right.
“As expected, it’s not a four-digit number, is it?”
“It’s no wonder you’ve exceeded a hundred or two, but as expected, four figures is a realm that surpasses even God. But, hmmm….”

It’s not a new level issue. It’s not going to change anything.
Then, let’s have them take a look at mine first.
I don’t mind, but for some reason, Professor Tia started to take off her lab coat.
”I don’t need to take it off since it’s sticking out of my clothes?”
You need to look directly at your back, but it’s a wonder you can wear clothes.
“Magic level is a concept tied to a person, you know. If that’s the case, then maybe if we see how it comes out of the skin, we’ll discover something new, right?”
The little professor of glasses, with her hand on the button of her shirt, takes off her shirt impatiently.
“Come on, let’s have a look at it!”
“You should at least hide your modest breasts. Or rather, this situation….”
“I’m sorry for being so careless, but I think the worst thing is this person who suddenly became half-naked in front of the students.”
At this worst possible time, the door was suddenly opened.
”Haruto, there you are–?”
“Oh Iris, I see you’ve regained consciousness. But it’s a good thing you’re resting comfortably, right?”
“Hey, I’m sorry! I didn’t know you two had a relationship. Oh, I wanted to thank you, but I’m interrupting you. Enjoy your time!”
She was about to turn back with a terrible misunderstanding of the situation, but her footsteps came to a Haruto. I didn’t stop her. It’s just a bother to explain, so I don’t mind.
Iris was pushed back into the room by the crowd of people who appeared in a flurry of activity.
“Is Hart Zenphis here! Mm, there you are. Don’t move there.”
At the front of the line was a beautiful teacher with one pair of glasses. She was Professor Oratoria Belkam. I’m not going to be able to get a good idea of what I’m talking about.
“Let’s get right to it, but you, you, you….er…?”
The piercing gaze that pierced me moved slightly and was directed at the half-naked little one.
Ah, this is a bad situation.
A male student and a half-naked female teacher in a private room. Whoever looks at it, it must be the scene of a forbidden, immoral, and disreputable relationship that is about to be established.
Is this a case of expulsion?
It was a bit exciting, but I didn’t want to be forced to leave school for cheating, as it would cause trouble for my dad and the others. But, I also felt a sense of resignation that it was inevitable.
Rather than making a lame excuse, I admit my guilt and was expelled from the academy with the little teacher.
“Don’t listen to me!”
Prof. Belkham’s male teachers behind her are treated to a lightning-quick palm strike and a knee strike.
“‘Gegebo!”
It’s amazing that even the tank top teacher in charge of magic and body arts was stunned by a single blow. What kind of a comedy is this?
And now…
“You’re studying ancient magic?”
In front of Professor Belkham, who was standing in front of me, and Professor Tia, who was wearing a white coat, were asked to explain why we were sitting upright. The male teachers kept looking around.
“You’ll have to be more specific. You had to get naked to find out what and how!”
“No, no, no. You wouldn’t understand it if I told you.”
“You bastard!”
The meek and angry Professor Belkam was nothing to it. Professor Tia was agitated and argued with her.
Whether it worked or whether it was aimed at from the beginning, the half-naked incident was blown out of proportion.
“So, what does Ora-chan have to do with Haruto-kun?”
“Oratoria. Don’t skip it, at all my dear boy. I’m here to talk to you about the future of Haruto Zenphis.”
“What will I do from here on out…?”
“I don’t know why your eyes are gleaming… but they’re not. No, I’m not entirely off the mark, but…”
“You’re stubborn. Why don’t you just say it?”
“I’m not about to make a tea party, Professor Tia. You’re even more of an airhead than I am.”
As if she’s decided to ignore the aloofness of her glare, Professor Belkham turns to me and tells me in all sincerity,
“Whether in the classroom or outside the classroom, we have determined that you are no longer a student.”
“So, you don’t have to take a class…”
“What’s up with you all of a sudden? Don’t you hear me out?”
“Oh, yes. I’m sorry.”
Professor Belkham cleared her throat again and re-partitioned.
“You can’t get a diploma that easily,” he said, “since there’s no precedent for graduating in less than a month. However, it’s also awkward to bind yourself to a class. I’m not going to be able to get it right.”
“What do you mean by that?”
I can’t boil it down. Come on, say it out loud. Oh, she glared at me.
“You’ll be at the Academy for at least two years. But, you’ll be excused from attending classes. You’re free to do what you want.”
“Oh! That means you’re going to be stuck in school for two years.”
“However.”
“Hmm? What are your terms?”
“These are just the thoughts of us, teacher. Of course, we will ask for permission from the school, but we will probably be asked to make some conditions. We have to come to find out if you are willing to challenge them or not.”
“I’ll do it.”
“So, I’m not going to hear the end of the story…”
No matter what the difficulty, I’ll do anything if I can legally stay back for two years.

Professor Belkham was just about to talk about the rest of the story while being stunned when Professor Tia interrupted her.
”Isn’t this just an exploratory test of the Olympian Ruins anyway? It’s not a good substitute, is it?”
“I was trying to tell you!”
The two of them started jabbering again.
What’s the point of exploring the ruins? I turned away from the two busy people and asked Iris, who was standing there in a daze, with a glance.
”…To be clear, are you and your professor dating?”
I didn’t get my intentions across at all–.
