Chapter 137

"But you probably think it's still early."

Haihara served as a homeroom teacher for only one year.

After this year ends, she doesn't plan to continue being a homeroom teacher, as she has already experienced enough last semester.

She glanced at the students in the classroom.

"Hmm, it seems quite a few of you had a good holiday. Did you go swimming at the beach? With your boyfriend or girlfriend?"

There is a sad fact that we must acknowledge.

Although she herself is an older woman who has been single for many years.

However, many of these students are already in high-achieving relationships and have either a cute girlfriend or a handsome boyfriend.

In the sweltering summer, we might even wear swimsuits together and play on the beach.

That's so enviable.

Did Teacher Haihara go to the beach this holiday?

A lively, outgoing girl in the class curiously asked Haihara.

"No."

Haihara answered calmly.

"Has no one invited Teacher Haihara?"

One of the girls muttered to herself.

Although her voice was very soft, Haihara heard it and simply replied casually:

"I don't look like the type to be invited."

This is actually a lie.

During this holiday, she was invited to the beach by many people, and some invited her to the water park in the city. For example, Principal Liang, her childhood sweetheart, and even her idol.

We did consider a family beach trip with Kiriori.

However, Haihara refused them all without exception.

On the one hand, she felt the seaside was too far away.

On the other hand, it's very sunny in the summer, and if she could, she wouldn't want to go out even for a day.

Why do you look so disappointed?

Kirishima Ai noticed a complicated expression on her deskmate Sakaki Chika's face.

"N-nothing..."

Sakaki Chika gave a slightly suspicious smile, but her face still flushed whenever she was a little nervous, making her look shy, which was quite easy to understand.

Speaking of summer, she certainly wouldn't forget playing at the beach with her teacher.

The little idol muttered to himself:

"I was just wondering... what would Teacher Haihara's swimsuit look like?"

She invited Teacher Haihara to the beach, though she certainly had ulterior motives.

For example, she was very interested in what Teacher Haihara's swimsuit would look like.

Kirishima Ai overheard this.

"..."

Although she pretended not to hear, she still thought about it for a moment.

Teacher Haihara's size... is probably between an E and an F.

It can be called "giant".

Moreover, because her waist is so slender, that area becomes even more noticeable, as if it has considerable weight.

The shape and feel are also very good.

Kirishima Ai had previously pressed her face against it to experience it firsthand, so she had a deep understanding of it.

Wearing a swimsuit would probably be quite a sight to behold.

In addition, since they are adults, the swimsuits might be quite sexy and daring.

But...

She subconsciously glanced at Teacher Haihara's current attire.

The ordinary Formal Attire, while appearing to be of a certain size, surprisingly lacked the weight it should have.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Kirishima Ai was probably one of the few people in the class who knew Teacher Haihara's real size.

Wait a minute... why is it "several"?

Meanwhile, Teacher Haihara was still chatting idly with a few other talkative students in the class.

As a teacher who isn't exactly a traditional teacher, this kind of thing is quite common in class meetings.

In reality, the few Magic girls in this class who actually interact with Teacher Haihara most often are the incredibly silent type.

Those who have a good relationship with the teacher are mostly the popular and outgoing students in the class.

A minute later, Teacher Haihara naturally switched back to the topic of the class meeting:

"There's one more thing I need to tell you, and that's to be careful."

"You all experienced the Monster incident during the day, right? Although it didn't cause any accidents, the Monster did enter the school grounds. If we hadn't evacuated them in time, someone might have been injured."

"Although I've always been well protected by Magic girls, it doesn't mean that Monster aren't dangerous. Whether on or off campus, I must protect myself."

When this topic was discussed, Haihara unusually took on a serious, teacher-like demeanor.

As she said before.

She doesn't care about things outside of school, but if someone gets injured or can't come to class because of Monster incidents during school hours, it would bother her a lot.

When this topic was discussed, for some reason, some students in the classroom lowered their heads, as if they had thought of something.

"In short... that's all the things you need to be aware of."

"Let's use the rest of the time to talk about something you're interested in."

Upon hearing this, the students all looked up curiously.

What interests you?

However, some students already know.

"This semester has also had quite a few troublesome events, such as the School Festival and the cultural festival... Let's not talk about those for now. Around the third week, we will organize an event to participate in the Maple Plain Festival at the shrine."

The Maple Plain Festival is a traditional festival in this city.

It's called a tradition, but it hasn't been around for very long.

However, for the locals, this festival is almost as important as the New Year.

Young people under thirty years old will wear festive costumes and go to the shrine at night to participate in celebrations. There will also be lantern displays and fireworks on the mountain, making it quite lively.

Since only young people participate, the school will have some young teachers bring interested students to participate.

Because it's very interesting and students can visit it with their classmates, many students go.

"Those who want to participate, sign up with the class monitor. It's said that the success rate of confessing your feelings on this day is quite high!"

Teacher Haihara said in a cold tone.

After the first class, there is a break between classes and then self-study.

It was only natural for the Takanashi and the others to gather together.

The topic of the start of the school year naturally returned to the incident this morning involving the Monster attack.

"So... after I left, you encountered three Monster over there? And they were all very powerful?"

At that time, Takanashi led Teacher Haihara, who was being targeted by the Monster, to safety.

What happened after that is unknown, as she had fallen unconscious during the battle with the Monster.

After some conversation, Takanashi gradually realized many unusual things about the situation.

"It's not just the number, but the characteristics of these Monsters... are they a composite type?"

She had never heard of Monster being able to mix different types before.

Just like Magic girls only have one type, there can't be a Magic girl who can master multiple types of Magic.

The only exception is the former Overlord.

Because Magic Power is a mutually exclusive thing.

If one kind of Magic Power is very active, it will not allow another kind of Magic Power to occupy too much space in the body.

The Serpent System Monster who can break this law are forbidden beings.

"Judging from my impressions... those composite Monster are probably much stronger than ordinary mature-stage Monster, but they are still not as strong as the original Pterosaur Monster."

To Kirishima Ai, it felt like a low-budget version of Serpent System Monster.

Speaking of composite Magic Power, that refers to the Overlord's henchmen, those Serpent System Monster with the appearance of fantastical creatures.

These complex and eccentric Monster do indeed easily remind people of the Serpent System Monster they once faced.

After pondering for a while, Takanashi silently unwrapped a chocolate bar:

"I will report this to R'lyeh."

"So, that Moth Monster was almost ready to evolve into its Perfect Form, but even so, it was defeated in less than a minute for some unknown reason..."

According to Kirishima Ai, during the battle, the Moth Monster began to evolve into its Perfect Form and released a mist that covered the entire hall.

However, after the mist dissipated, what appeared was not the Perfect Form Monster, but the fragmented bodies of those Monsters.

Someone appeared as the mist appeared and instantly defeated all the Monster.

To be honest, it's a bit unbelievable.

"To be precise, it has evolved. The Crystal left at the scene are very similar to the advanced Crystal you described earlier."

However, perhaps due to incomplete evolution, the Crystal had cracks, was dull and broken, and could not be compared with a high-level Crystal in the general sense.

Even after hearing Kirishima Ai and the others' description, Takanashi still found it incredible.

The Perfect Form was defeated so easily in an instant; even most of the instructors in the academy couldn't do that...

Only the Sacred Domain Magic Girl can defeat the Perfect Form.

Fate Kite's current strength might be enough to rival that of Perfect Form.

But it's only a form of resistance.

At that moment, Sakaki Chika spoke softly:

"At the scene... I can sense a trace of residual Magic Power, it's a kind I'm not very familiar with."

"However, it's somewhat similar to the Kite Monster that appeared before..."

The Kite Monster is a Wind System Monster.

In other words, Wind System Magic Power.

After realizing this, Takanashi quickly came to a conclusion.

Not only her, but the other two people present had also thought about that aspect to varying degrees.

They appeared at the school and helped them defeat the Monster.

And it possesses the power to easily crush a Perfect Form Monster in just a few breaths.

Such people did indeed exist in this city...
