Chapter 107

She's petite and runs as cautiously as a little rabbit, looking like a very endearing little animal.

Hmm...

Soon, the little girl bumped into her.

Naturally, such a small rabbit didn't hurt Haihara. Haihara looked down and saw the child say in a flustered and shy tone:

"Yes, yes... I'm sorry, did I hurt you...?"

This child is, of course, Sakaki Chika.

Upon seeing her, Haihara immediately realized that the other Magic girls had probably also arrived in R'lyeh.

What a coincidence!

Seeing Sakaki Chika constantly apologizing, Haihara calmly squeezed the girl's shoulder and said as usual:

"It's okay, calm down."

When Sakaki Chika heard that mature and pleasant voice, she felt it was somewhat familiar, so she subconsciously looked up.

She had just sensed that this woman seemed very tall.

Moreover, the height difference and the incredibly warm and soft chest gave her a sense of familiarity.

After she bumped into the woman, it seemed that the woman's hood fell down naturally. When she looked up, she saw the woman's face that had been hidden under the hood.

Sakaki Chika was stunned.

So beautiful...

The woman before me had a sculpted, dignified, and beautiful face; her skin was as pale as dew; long, silver-gray curly hair cascaded over her shapely shoulders; and she had a pair of cold, beautiful, deep purple eyes.

Even Professor Roland would pale in comparison to this person's charm.

R'lyeh is truly incredible.

Moreover, her temperament and face, for some reason, resembled Teacher Haihara, which made Sakaki Chika feel she was even more beautiful and charming.

Sakaki Chika took a step back somewhat awkwardly.

"Excuse me, I bumped into you just now."

The woman in front of Sakaki Chika, Haihara, realized that she hadn't been recognized after her hood fell down.

Looks like I'll have to pretend I don't know you.

She nodded calmly.

"Was something wrong with you just now?"

After all, the young girl seemed to be in a hurry.

Moreover, it doesn't seem like it's spending time with the other Problem Child.

Sakaki Chika lowered her head and took a few breaths to calm herself down. When she looked up again and saw the tall and beautiful woman, a question came to mind.

The woman in front of me, who looks to be under thirty, must be a teacher at the academy, right?

She blinked and asked somewhat awkwardly:

"I was just... looking for a classroom. Are you a teacher at the college?"

Upon hearing this, Haihara did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while.

She first looked at the corridor and courtyard, which were no different from what she remembered, and recalled some scenes from her memory.

Thinking about her current appearance, and then looking at the dazed little girl in front of her, Haihara seemed to have thought of something interesting.

Haihara nodded calmly, a slight smile appearing on her face with interest.

"That's right, I'm a teacher here."

The gray-haired Witch said with a smile.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Miss Lily's Lecture Hall

Bird Academy is the oldest and largest of the four Magic Academy, and for hundreds of years it was the strongest in terms of overall strength.

However, recently, this number one position has gradually been taken over by the Moon Academy.

On one hand, the headmistress of the Moon Academy is the legendary Magic girl above the Sacred Domain — the Lord Gemstone.

On the other hand, it is also because the top student of the Moon Academy is a genius who can be considered one of the best in the history of the academy.

All the Magic girls in her class were overshadowed by the brilliance of that Moon Academy Chief.

Some even believe that this Magic girl's talent is comparable to that of the Overlord.

However, this does not mean that the Bird Academy does not have any outstanding genius Magic.

Nero Abailia is the head of the Bird Academy.

Judging from her surname, she comes from the House Abailia, the same family as the snake Witch, and belongs to the same Bird System as Lilith at the beginning.

However, she was not a direct descendant of the House Abailia.

Neither the Holy Lord nor the Overlord, the true direct descendants of the House Abailia had any offspring. Therefore, in this generation, the next head of the family was Nero was from a collateral branch.

In appearance, she has the same long, silver-gray curly hair as her ancestors, but it is tied into a side ponytail. Her face is as delicate and elegant as a doll, and she wears the black and gold robe of the chief of the Bird Academy, adorned with dark red feathers.

In the pristine, bright open-air school, a group of young female apprentices began to discuss the matter with great curiosity.

"Have you heard? A Bird System Magic girl has arrived from Earth, and she's using that Overlord's Magic Armament and Magic Crystal."

"Your Overlord? Isn't that Nero's ancestor?"

"I heard she even defeated the Demon King..."

"Could it be that Silver Feather is even more powerful than Lord Nero?"

In the past, Magic girls sent to Earth didn't receive much attention, as it was something that happened almost every few years.

However, the fact that a Magic girl on Earth defeated the Demon King is a completely different concept.

Moreover, that Magic girl also inherited the power of the Overlord.

For many of R'lyeh's Overlord worshippers, this was as fervent and intriguing as the restoration of Constantinople.

Meanwhile, the other Magic girls couldn't help but wonder how that Magic girl named Silver Feather would compare to Nero, the next head of the House Abailia.

A noisy murmur emanated from the surroundings, and Nero could occasionally feel the gazes of those around him.

However, she didn't react; she simply stood up and prepared to choose her next class.

As the college's top student, she has a lot of freedom in choosing courses, and she can decide her own schedule every day. Today, as usual, she walked into the college's "Bird Garden" to consider what classes she would take next.

Walking through the quiet, shaded area, you'll find portraits of past deans along the long corridor, with the current dean, Ms. Aurora, at the very end.

However, she stopped before she reached the end of the corridor.

Above this, there is a portrait shrouded in mist.

In the portrait, only the upper body of a woman can be vaguely seen, with long, gray curly hair. Her face and features are hidden in shadow, as if lost in the mists of history.

Below the portrait, it was written:

The eleventh Dean, Lilith Abailia.

The rest of the description was erased, leaving only this gloomy name.

Not only this academy, but also her family—most information about this Witch has been erased: books, statues, paintings...

Sometimes, she wondered what this ancestor, who had once instigated a rebellion and ended up being sealed away, really looked like. Was he truly as the legends said, captivating all the Magic girls in the Kingdom?

She didn't continue watching; instead, she walked to the water screen in the center of the aviary and began to review the upcoming lessons.

Bird companionship, Monster extermination, Fairies language, black Magic countermeasures...

These are all courses taught by professors from the academy, and many of them are quite old, perhaps dating back decades or even hundreds of years.

She knew all the courses by heart.

But suddenly, she noticed an unfamiliar course.

"Alchemy and... the origin of Monster?"

A course I've never seen before.

Judging from the name, it sounds like a history class.

However, the specific course content was not mentioned.

Her hand dipped into the water curtain, creating ripples, and the information about the lesson unfolded on it.

At first, Nero thought it was just a newly started course, but after she looked into the course information more closely, she became confused.

"... Was the last class held more than three hundred years ago?"

The course information shows that this class was last held hundreds of years ago, shortly after Her Majesty the Queen's coronation.

Why was this class suddenly reopened?

Moreover, upon closer inspection, this course has an incredibly high credit rate and was extremely popular in the Bird Academy hundreds of years ago.

The lecturer was a Magic girl Nero had never heard of before, with only the brief name Lily.

Despite having many doubts, the Bird Academy's top student was driven by his curiosity to choose this course.

Advanced courses in academies typically have dedicated study rooms for instructors, which are often extensions of the instructors' own fields of expertise.

This class, too, was held in a separate classroom.

Nero discovered that this seemed to be the area the students thought had been abandoned for many years and that students were not allowed to enter, but had been reopened today.

She wasn't the only one who came here.

Many other students also came over, discussing it as they went, wanting to see what was going on in this class.

Compared to other open-air and more nature-oriented classrooms, this classroom is a more formal lecture hall.

Simply put, it's very similar to a university classroom on Earth.

The tutor hadn't arrived yet, so Nero found a bench and sat down.

Meanwhile, in the academy's corridor, a young and tall woman was slowly walking towards the classroom.

Students would occasionally pass by, happen to see this elderly woman, and then freeze in place, unable to move.

A young female apprentice stood there blankly, clutching her companion:

"Do you know that person...?"

This was the first time she had ever seen such a beautiful woman.

"An unfamiliar face... is it a new teacher?"

Neither of them had ever seen a teacher like that before. After all, the woman who had just passed by was so beautiful; if they had seen her before, they couldn't possibly have forgotten her.

However, some people soon realized something was amiss.

"Hey, doesn't that lady look a bit like Chief Nero?"

"Real..."

As the bell rang, the class officially began. The students who had temporarily chosen this class were already seated in the classroom, waiting for the lecturer to arrive.

As Magic girls, they all heard slow, light footsteps.

Soon, a woman's figure slowly came into view.

She was a tall and beautiful woman, shrouded in a silver-white robe, with long, silver-gray hair cascading down her shoulders.

Although she was simply dressed and looked very young, her demeanor seemed to exude an incredible charm, a mature and mysterious Magic Power that attracted the young girls in the classroom.

The gray-haired woman walked calmly to the podium, gently brushed the dust off it, and all her movements were very natural.

"Then, I will be the lecturer for this class."

Looking at the long-unseen lecture hall and the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar faces in the classroom, the woman seemed to recall some things from the past.

The classroom fell into complete silence; no one uttered a sound.

After remaining silent for a moment, she gently raised her head:
