Marilynn, the headmistress, came over to me at the podium and said, "Thank you.
"Thank you.
Your students must be very popular with you. Yeah?
Marilyn stroked her chin and glowered around.
There were a lot of students around us.
'Mr. Kaiser. I have a question for you.
I want you to see your newly acquired magic!
Wait! I was going to ask the doctor a question first!
It's a good thing that teachers and students are so close.
Marilyn nodded in satisfaction at the students who were making a pass at her mouth .
She was shorter than the students around her. At first glance, she appears to be just a little girl. But her cunning tone exudes the dignity of the head of the school.
But wait, Kaiser. You should not hurt the students. We can't let our brains be taken over by the lower half of our bodies.
'What are you talking about? ....... I won't. No, you won't.
I don't know how old my students are.
They're the same age as my daughter, Meryl.
Yes, they are. Mr. Kaiser is a good person. He would never be so vile. I want you to take back your statement and apologize.
Irene pushed up her glasses with her fingers and said in a dumbfounded manner .
She is an intelligent beauty who looks good in her glasses, she is the teacher of this school and the person who inspired me to become a teacher at the magic school .
Irene. You have a lot of kaisel in you. I knew it was him. You're in love with Kaiser, aren't you?
What--? Don't make any arbitrary assumptions!
Ooh-ooh-ooh. That's a girl barking.
'That's s*xual harassment! No matter how much the other party is the headmaster, we can't overlook that!
I am the head of this school. I'm a powerful man. I control all of them. I don't make issues with me. That is all. This court is adjourned.
Hey, you can go to ......! Abuse of power with impunity: ......!
Marilyn had done it to her, and Irene was shaking with anger. But she couldn't say anything else.
"Kaiser. You don't seem to have Meryl in sight.
Norman said in a cool tone.
He was also a lecturer at the same magic academy as me, and he used to consider me an enemy, but after we hit it off over a drink, we made peace with each other.
Ah. Meryl didn't go to class today.
'That's unusual . He wouldn't hesitate to skip class if it was me or Mr. Irene's class, but he didn't miss your class.
He's busy with research. He's been stuck in the lab developing new magic. When that happens, he doesn't come out for a while.
'Developing magic, ......,' muttered Norman. "There are so many new magics being developed by Meryl. What is he working on this time?
I think they're talking about research into immortality.
"Elixir of life?
Norman and Irene spoke up at the same time .
''Speaking of immortality, it's a forbidden magic that our ancestors' wizards had studied many times but never finally came to fruition!
'You'll be in big trouble if that happens! Countries may go to war over immortality research: ......!
Oh, wow. Interesting. I've decided to flirt with Merrill while I still can. Then I'll be young forever.
Well, just because you're doing research doesn't mean it's going to come to fruition," he said, but I was half-convinced that my research would come to fruition.
Basically, Meryl won't do anything that people tell her to do, but if it's something she started doing, she'll do it until she can.
But if it does come to fruition, some countries might be willing to go to war to steal the research on immortality like Irene had said.
With me, Elsa, and Meryl, I'm sure most of them will be fine: ....... I might have to think about that area just in case .
"...... Mm?
In the midst of the harmonious space, Marilyn twitched her eyebrows.
''Headmaster, what's going on?''
'What do you mean?' asked Irene.
'I'm sure you've come up with some other stupid idea.
Sounds like someone's been in the school.
"What?
How did you know?
I have placed warding spells all around the grounds of the academy. That is why I can detect anyone who tries to enter from outside the main gate.
Maybe a child or a puppy wandered in? And Irene.
Then the warding would have stopped me. They must have broken through my wards and entered my home, so they must have malicious intent.
At Marilyn's words, the air in the classroom was tense.
The teachers have a grim expression on their faces.
"We may not know what the intruder is after, but we can't just let him get away with it. We've got to get rid of the rats that have entered our school.
Marilyn looks around at us teachers.
IRENE. You will stay in the classroom and guard the students. Kaisel and Norman will join me in removing any rats that enter the school.
'Yes . As a teacher, I will protect my students with my life," said Irene .
''Humph. ....... It's the height of folly to invade a traditional magic school. If we get our hands on it, we might just be afraid of a rat or two.
Norman said.
"Be careful, gentlemen. You must be careful, for the intruder must be quite handy to defeat my warding spell.
