Iris wasn't too okay, and after hugging me, she fell unconscious. Professor Tia is really lax.



　He put her down in his nap room and took me to his lab.



"Oh, I see."



　I explained the situation to him, and he said he had heard one, knew ten, and was delusional about a hundred things. Professor Tia nodded in agreement.



"What are those tubes?"



"Are you testing me by asking me a question that you know about?　Well, as you can see, it's a magical level concept itself (・・・・・・)."



"I see?"



"The number of tubes is the maximum magic level, and the one connected to the ground is definitely the current magic level. < means that the connection to the ground is no longer there for some reason.



　Professor Tia cowered her shoulders and pointed at me,



"You're a god now."



　What the heck is that?



"Well, I'm convinced now. I'm as good as or even better than the monsters of the age of the gods. No, they've definitely surpassed them. Who are you really that you can see and tinker with the concept of levels that are the domain of the gods?



　Isn't that an incoherent statement?



"But my head hurts when I try to look at that thing."



"I'm rather surprised it's only that bad.　I'm sorry, but...?



　You need to calm down.



"If I could only see, I wouldn't be able to touch it and move it. Hmm. ............



I'm not going to pull you out of the ground, am I?



"Of course I don't want you to. But don't you want to try it?　I can't wait to see if it will lower the levels, and what other effects it will have."



　I said "expectations. He's really unsympathetic to strangers, this guy.



"Anyway, there's something I'd like to try as soon as possible."



"Please don't get other people involved."



"That's a harsh word, isn't it? Well, it's about you. Wouldn't you like to know with your own eyes exactly what your magic level is?"



　Yeah, that's it.



"I can't see my own back."



　Aside from being physically unable to turn my head, I have tried to see indirectly, using surveillance wards and mirrors, but to no avail. It seems that I have to look directly at them with my own eyes and also at their backs. It is impossible to count only the tubes extending to the ground.



"Why don't you just cut off its head? Isn't that how you cut up the demon?



"I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing that to myself. ......"



　I don't want to end up like Dullahan.

　Besides, I'm making an improved version of <> that can display three digits. But the magic level is still 2.



"It can't be four digits, can it?



"I wouldn't be surprised if you could get over 100 or 200, but four digits is beyond the realm of the gods. But, umm, ......."



　It's too late for the level problem. Knowing that won't change anything.



"Then I'll let you look at mine first."



　I don't mind, but for some reason Professor Tia started to take off her lab coat.



"I don't have to take it off because it's sticking out of my clothes.



　It is a wonder that they are OK with their clothes on, even though they need to look directly at their backs.



"Magic level is a concept tied to a person. So why don't you check how it is coming out of your skin and you might discover something new?"



　The little professor with the glasses, who is busy undressing with his hands on the buttons of his shirt.



"Come on, look at me all you want!"



　At least hide your modest breasts. I mean, this situation is .......



　It's my fault that I was careless, but I think this person who suddenly got half-naked in front of the students is the worst.

　At the worst possible moment, the door was suddenly opened.



"Hurt, there you are!



　Iris, you're awake. But you should have rested, right?



"Nana ......, I'm sorry!　I didn't know they had that kind of relationship. ....... Oh, I wanted to thank you, but I'm sorry to bother you. Take your time!"



　She turns to go back with a huge misunderstanding, but her footsteps come to a halt. I didn't stop her. I'm just trying to explain that it's too much trouble.



　Iris is pushed back into the room by a crowd of people who appear one after another.



"Is Hart Semphis here?　Well, there you are. Stay where you are.



　At the front of the line was a beautiful teacher with one eye. Professor Oratoria Belkum. Behind her were the tank-top teacher, Grandpa, and my homeroom teacher.



"So, what do you have to say for yourself, ......?"



　The sharp gaze that had been fixed on me moved slightly and turned to the half-naked little boy.



　Oh, this is a bad situation.

　A male student and a half-naked female teacher in a private room. Whoever it may be, this must be the scene of a forbidden, immoral, and disreputable relationship about to be established.



　Is this a case of expulsion?

　I was a little excited, but it was not my intention to expel the students for cheating because it would cause trouble for the fathers. But I also felt a twinge of resignation in my heart, knowing that I had no choice in the matter.






　Instead of making excuses, he gracefully admits his guilt and is expelled from the academy, along with his little teacher....　



"Don't look at me!



　Professor Belkam gives the male teachers in the back of the room a lightning-fire palm strike and a kick to the knees.



Gugebo!""""""



　It's amazing that even the tank-top teacher in charge of magic and physical arts was knocked out by a single blow. What kind of a comedy is this?



　And so...







"Researching ancient magic?



　In front of Professor Belkam, who was standing in a royal position, Professor Tia and I, who was wearing white, were asked to explain why we were sitting on our knees. The male faculty members kept their eyes averted.　



"Let's talk about specifics. What did you need to get naked to find out?



"No, no, no. You wouldn't understand if I explained it to you.



"You hear that?



　Professor Belkam, who is peevish and angry, is having none of it. Professor Thia was so agitated that an argument broke out.

　Whether it worked or not, the half-nakedness incident was finally dropped.



"So, Ora-chan, what do you want with Mr. Hurt?"



Oratoria. Don't abbreviate, at all. ...... I thought we could talk about the future of Hurt Semphis.



"My future is ...... leaving school?"



"I don't know why your eyes are glowing so brightly, but ...... they're not. No, I'm not totally missing the point. ......"



"You're not making any sense. Why don't you speak up?"



　This is not the place to make fun of me, Professor Tia. You're even more airheaded than I am.

　She seems to have decided to ignore the fact that I'm standing there, aloof, even though she's giving me a hard time.



"We have determined that your skills, whether in lecture or in practice, are no longer in line with those of a student.



"So you don't have to take classes?



"What's the matter with you all of a sudden?　Why don't you hear me out?



Yes, sir. I'm sorry.



　Professor Belkam clears his throat again and resumes his work.



"Diplomas are not given so easily. It is unprecedented for a student to graduate in less than a month. But I don't feel comfortable restricting you to class. You are only fifteen years old and there are many other things I want you to learn besides magic skills."



"What do you mean?"



　You're not making any sense. Speak up. Oh, he's scowling at me.



"You'll be at the institute for at least two years. But during that time, you will be exempted from attending classes. You are free to do whatever you want to do.



　Oh!　That means you can stay in school for two years.



"However..."



　Hmm?　What are the conditions?



"These are just the ideas of our teachers. Of course, we will ask permission from the institute, but we will probably be confronted with conditions. We are here to see if you are willing to take on that challenge.



I'll do it.



"So hear me out. ......"



　I'll do whatever it takes to be legally shut in for two years, no matter how difficult it is.

　Professor Belkam was about to continue, but Professor Thia interrupted him.



"It's the search test for the 'Olympian Ruins' anyway, isn't it?　It's not much different, is it?"



"I was going to say!"



　The two of us started arguing again.



　What is it about exploring ruins?　I turned away from the two busy people and looked at Iris, who was standing there in a daze, and asked her about it.



"...... Are you and the professor dating after all?"



　I didn't get my point across at all--.
