Miriam

The enemy is on the other side of the corridor!

When Magic Professor Miriam pointed her magic bow at the adventurers, everyone reacted immediately.

"Smack!"

A magnificent and enormous magic arrow rushed towards the crowd in the blink of an eye. Even though Wei En Ma blocked most of its power, the residual shockwave still managed to take away one lucky spectator.

"Ma Erke!" cried the dead man's companion in a mournful voice.

They glared at their enemy with hatred, only to find that he was clutching his shoulder, where blood was flowing freely and an arrow was lodged.

Si Telan made her move, firing an arrow enchanted with Windwalk almost at the same time Mi Li An made her attack. The tiny arrow was blocked by the massive magical arrow, allowing it to strike Mi Li An before she could react.

Although there were many lucky factors at play, no one but Wei En Ma could match her reaction speed. Her aunt had instantly cast a defensive spell to block the magic arrow before it even arrived.

From this perspective, Si Telan has made great progress.

However, her arm was numb, and the arrow she was shooting made her forget to dodge. As a result, she was hit by the explosion of the magic arrow, and her arm holding the arrow was covered in blood, making it temporarily impossible for her to continue shooting.

Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly. Those who knew magic began chanting, while those who didn't drew their swords and rushed over, determined to chop the magic professor who dared to ambush them into mincemeat!

Just then, Mi Li An suddenly raised her magic wand and shook it gently.

Wei En Ma sensed something through her intuition and unleashed several wind blades to interrupt the opponent's spellcasting, but she was a step too late.

The shimmering smoky haze vanished from the magic wand, and Mi Li An's figure disappeared instantly. The wind blade also missed its target and landed on a nearby pillar.

It disappeared? Was it some kind of teleportation spell?

Just as people were on high alert, they suddenly felt a strong sense of threat.

Turning around, they saw Mi Li An standing on a chandelier hanging in the air, raising her large bow to them.

Magic: Loretta's Greatbow!

The magic cast by the Royal Knight Loretta can create a magical bow that fires large arrows, and its power can be amplified by charging it up.

It is said that the bow was her specialty weapon.

The great arrow struck again, but this time the launch point was somewhat inappropriate. Most of its power was neutralized by the barrier, while the remaining power was perfectly defended by Wei En Ma.

Seeing that things were not going well, she waved her magic wand once again and disappeared from everyone's sight, only to reappear behind them.

Everyone had no choice but to respond once again, either casting defensive magic or diving at lightning speed to dodge.

"When will this ever end?!" someone exclaimed, their defenses broken.

They felt like they'd been tricked; even teasing a dog wouldn't be done this smoothly.

With her three attacks, Mi Li An successfully drew everyone's hatred, and she disappeared from everyone's sight once again. Just as everyone was focused on the spot, and the mage was fully deploying a protective barrier to prepare for the next attack,

Mi Li An has vanished; there's no trace of her.

"They got away!?" Mei Erjia's face contorted with rage. "What the hell, you bastard!"

Wei En Ma's expression didn't change much, but her slender fingers, constantly twirling her hair, betrayed her frustration.

Nobody likes being teased, nobody!

Some adventurers were planning to leave, but after the magic professor's commotion, they were determined to find that bastard here and beat him up until even his own parents wouldn't recognize him.

All of them—elves, dwarves, humans, Orcs —exchanged glances, and in each other's eyes they saw the same conviction.

Compared to the first floor, the layout of the second floor is not much different except that the central hall has been transformed into a complex network of beams and chandeliers that look like they belong to several Painting Messenger. Of course, this refers to the overall layout.

If we break it down to the specific details, then there are many more changes, the most obvious being...

"Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom?"

Si Telan read out the description displayed in front of the classroom in front of her.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is one of the core courses at Hogwarts Raya Lucaria, designed to teach students how to protect themselves from evil dark magic."

What is Hogwarts? Since its name is listed alongside Raya Lucaria, it must imply some connection, perhaps it's a branch school? Like the Magic Association's Royal City Roer campus in the outside world?

Si Telan didn't think much of it. She figured that since there was a classroom here and its purpose was specified, there must be some magic inside that she could learn.

Just as she put her hand on the doorknob, preparing to push the door open, the others also made new discoveries.

"The Transfiguration Spell Classroom, established by Raya Lucaria Winterhold, aims to provide students with the opportunity to learn these natural magics."

Wei En Ma's eyes lit up, and she placed her hand on the doorknob as well.

"The Life Classroom, a classroom established by the Druids of Azeroth, where the energy of life is often referred to by the Druids as Nature Magic, which promotes the growth and renewal of all things."

Mei Erjia was initially somewhat interested in this place, but then she saw the next line of text.

"Note: This classroom was established by Traditionalists Druids and only accepts male spellcasters. Females should seek out the Sisters of Elune on their own."

"What the hell? They're discriminating against us?"

She pursed her lips, grabbed the doorknob, and wanted to see what would happen after she opened the door. It was impossible for a "Druids" wrapped in white cloth to suddenly jump out and wrap her up in black cloth, leaving only her eyes sticking out, right?

What am I thinking? It's so strange.

"Squeak"

She opened the long-sealed classroom door, the smell of dust filling her nostrils, while everyone else opened their doors in perfect unison.

However, what appeared before everyone was the same sight—azure magic arrows.

Damn it, it's Mi Li An.

"Bang!"

Almost simultaneously, magic arrows burst forth from all the opened classrooms, unexpectedly taking away groups of adventurers!

The huge explosion shook the entire second floor. Thick smoke billowed and screams filled the air. The dead adventurers couldn't make a sound, of course. Only those who were injured but not yet dead were wailing, and others screamed like young girls after being frightened.

Incidentally, Mei Erjia belongs to the group that cannot be called out. The moment she pushed open the door, in addition to Mi Li An's sneak attack, a power from the Druids erupted, preventing her from entering.

The two forces combined and exploded at close range. Even Jia Paer would be seriously injured by such damage, let alone Mei Erjia, who was almost completely unprepared. She lost consciousness instantly without feeling any pain.

"Cough cough cough," Si Telan collapsed to the ground, coughing incessantly. Half of her body was covered in blood. She reached for her medicine but found that her left hand had been blown off, and her severed arm had flown away somewhere.

This is bad; I'll have to pay a few more copper coins to have Priest use a flesh regeneration spell.

Fortunately, that kind of magic was quite common, so it only cost an extra day's food money.

By the way, how are the others doing?

With her still-mobile arm, she crushed the Healing Potion, the potion mixed with glass shards splashing onto her body. As she regained a bit of strength, she quickly checked on the others.

You don't even need to look to know that the scene was extremely tragic.

Damn it, how did Mi Li An manage to hide here, and she can even create clones?!

Ten thousand curses were brewing in Si Telan's mouth when suddenly a sky full of warm light shone down on the area. Upon touching the starlight, the wails of the crowd immediately subsided, and they even felt a sense of warmth.

"I knew something was wrong when I heard the explosion, and sure enough, something bad happened."

A gentle breeze parted the thick fog, and Tu Erqi spoke as she cast her uniquely created powerful Healing Magic. Seth and He De Si were also doing their best to help, and Luo Jieer had been offline for a long time, returned to the team.

When they treated the elf, Tu Erqi and Si Telan made eye contact.

Si Telan broke out in a cold sweat. She must be at odds with the other side. What should she say now? Should she be a little arrogant and refuse them?

Hehe~

Tu Erqi covered her mouth, revealing a smug smile that mimicked Mei Erjia's, and with a wave of her hand, she healed Si Telan with magic before turning and leaving.

"."

Si Telan's facial muscles twitched incessantly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say, so she murmured a small "thank you."

When the smoke and dust completely cleared, Wei En Ma reappeared, looking completely unharmed, without the slightest injury.

No, she was still injured, because she had changed her clothes at some point!

Wei En Ma's face was grim. Looking at the mess all around, her murderous intent was comparable to when she was covered in mud by the Jyuratodus.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Mi Li An in the distance. She quickly glanced at the adventurer and the elf's injuries, tossed a package to Tu Erqi, and turned to rush toward Mi Li An, her speed so fast that no one could see her afterimage.

Is her physical fitness really that strong?!

"Who cares about your potions?" Tu Erqi opened the package and glanced inside. It contained some mana-restoring potions and gold coins.

She chuckled, tossed the package to Luo Jieer, and continued to act as a battlefield angel.

She's expressionless when healing adventurers, but she always flashes a sly smile when she saves elves—is she mocking them? Absolutely!

(That's about it)

But despite the mockery, the quality of her Healing Magic didn't suffer; she's quite vengeful.

Si Telan leaned against the wall, glancing at Tu Erqi, who was enjoying her revenge, and at Wei En Ma, who was chasing Mi Li An around, when she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion wash over her.

In short, it's mentally exhausting.

Being walked by the Crystallized Old Man, being walked by Mi Li An —are all you mages experts at running away?

She sighed deeply and muttered to herself:

I want to go home.
