Prologue

Fir, Im really curious as to how you did it. Mind enlightening me?

The scent of a mature woman emitted by Ms Maris body stimulated my sense of smell. But if you think I will be tempted that easily, then you have underestimated me.

Im Lin Fir! A genius youth who came from another world!

Everything above was just things that I made up. Actually, because the smell of alcohol from Ms. Maris body was just too strong, the possibility of tempting me was absolutely zero.

Teacher, I feel that, in usual situations, when a teacher wish to discuss a problem about a students studies she wouldnt tie the student to a chair, and then sit on that students body, right? Of course, teacher, youre not heavy at all. Compared to a certain violent persons fist, your weight could be considered nothing to me.

Hehe, I will treat that as a compliment then.

Ms Mari gave a charming smile, leaned closer to me, and continued. Thats not the main point, right?

This isnt the focus of the discussion either Unless you stood up?

If that thing of mine did not stand, then I will really have to worry about the

health of my body. But, teacher, havent you realized that the smell of alcohol on your body is a little too strong?

Really~?

Ms Mari took in a deep breath. I dont smell it at all~?

Alright, stop fooling around. Cant we have a regular conversation between us?

For example, a regular and traditional interaction between a teacher and a student?

You dont like it this way? Of course not!

Then shall I hang you up next time?

Cant we interact normally!? Nor-mal-ly! You drunk, pervert of a teacher whose mind is only filled with sex! Hurry and release me!

When Ms Mari finished listening to what I said, she made an expression as if she was about to cry.

Wuu My own student actually thinks Im a pervert. Youre definitely one, alright! Be conscious of yourself!

Ha~ Really~ Even though this treatment is only available for my dear student, Fir, why cant you enjoy it all~?

Because I dont wish to be known as a human trash and walk the path of Makoto-kun.

Makoto-kun? Dont mind it

Ms Mari sighed, and then held a piece of paper in front of me.

Then~ Lets have a normal interaction. How did you score full marks for the explanation of magic skills, but score an absolute zero for your theoretical knowledge for your end-semester examinations? And whats with the strange full score for your combat test?

Havent you thought of first getting off my body and releasing me before talking to me about this?

Since you did not answer my questions, are you hoping for our current postures to be photographed and have that photograph placed right at the academys centre square?

After saying that, she actually waved her staff, and something that looked like a recording crystal that was on her table slowly floated in the air and was positioned right above us.

Hey hey! Wheres your consistency!? What consistency?

Its my homes dialect No, the main point is, dont you care about your reputation?

Reputation

Ms. Mari fell into silence, and then yelled in agony.

Aaaaah, Im already 25, and I have yet to have a boyfriend! Why do I even need to care about my reputation anymore!!??

Arent you 21?

Ms Mari looked at me with resentful eyes, and then I immediately changed my

words.

No, its nothing. I didnt hear anything at all. Please continue.

So~ Do you know what will happen if I place this picture in the academys centre square~?

I dont know.

Obviously, the entire school will think that theres some form of relationship between us, and when that time comes, you wont be able escape~

I understand now. You understand?

Youre not just a pervert, youre sadistic as well!

Huhuhuhuhu! How could you ever understand my resentment!

Alright, stop right there. Youre talking about my tests right? I cant really do anything about how overpowered I am. As for the written tests, I can remember how the magic work and what theyre used for, but as to why they work, how would I know about that?

You, really

Alright, please let me go. Teacher, even though youre mature and beautiful, but since were still a teacher and a student, you should let me go.

Geez, even though I wouldnt even do this for someone else Ms Mari seemed to have whispered something.

What did you say?

Its nothing. Alright, fine, if you hate me that much, then hurry up and leave~ Ms Mari immediately leaped off my body, and then carried me along with the

chair!

Hey hey, what are you planning to do?

I stared at her as she carried me to the office door, open it, and threw me out while I was still tied to the chair.

Ms Mari, youre too heartless! Hmph Eh?

In an instant, Ms Maris entire face turned pale.

I looked towards where Ms Mari was looking at, and in the end, my face turned pale as well.

Princess Anne, who was hugging onto a book, was standing at the corner, and she was standing still right at that spot.

Evidently, when she walked past, she saw the entire scene where Ms Mari threw me out of her office.

Oh my dear god

I was tied up, Ms Maris clothes were not dressed properly (I suspect it was because she was drunk), and the words I said earlier

Princess Anne, cough, this is a misunderstanding. Ah, umm Im sorry for disturbing

After saying that, she moved two steps back, turned, and ran.

Ms Mari, stop her! Un? No reaction?

When I turned to look, Ms Mari was frozen at the spot, and was not responding at all!

Hey hey are you serious? Youre shocked by something like that? Are you kidding me

I rolled my eyes, sliced the rope with my summoned ice sword, and then quickly left the scene.

Really

Even though vacation was coming, there are still so many things happening. Hopefully, I can use this vacation to loosen up.

But

If I knew what was about to happen in the next few months, I definitely wouldnt have looked forward to this vacation.

Definitely!

Part 1 Ice Empire Tour

Since youre one of Ice Empires registered State Magician, you shouldnt idle during vacation, hurry up and head over to the Ice Empire and report for work!

On the first day of my vacation, my dormitorys door was kicked into pieces by Princess Michelles bodyguard, Dual. Then, Princess Michelle excitedly, and unreservedly, rushed into my room, and loudly declared.

Currently, to welcome the arrival of my vacation, I was happily preparing my breakfast. Startled by Princess Michelle, the bread I just toasted almost fell onto the floor.

Of course, I wasnt shocked by how she barged into my room this early in the morning, nor was I shocked by how my door was broken down with a single kick. Rather, I was shocked by the fact that I was about to lose my vacation.

But, obviously, Im going to save it.

What are you talking about? Why do I have to work during vacation!? We have to rest during vacation, dont we?

Of course not! Dont you wish to receive your wages!? Dont you want countless of magical artifacts!?

So theres wages? Then thats a different story altogether.

I ate the bread in two to three bites, and then, I sat right in front of Princess Michelle.

How much?

100,000 Gold a month?

Princess Michelle said as she looked over to Dual behind her, who was currently repairing my door at a fast pace.

Since you know that you have to repair it after kicking it down, then why did you destroy it in the first place? Did you think the door was free? The door has feelings too, you know.

Umm Im not entirely sure about the notion of money, and I can only spend about 300,000 Gold a month, so so If theres no wages to be paid, I will pay you myself. Is that still not enough?

As expected of a princess, her simply being rich is an understatement.

I worked hard to grab 500,000 Gold from that small kingdom, and here, youre giving me 300,000 Gold per month. This is too much for me to handle.

Are you guys having a serious case of inflation or something? Why do you have so much money?

Alright, since youre not sure, then let me pose you a question. Why is there a need for me to go to the Ice Empire?

Its been two weeks since the end of the Annual Tournament. The commotion about the things that happened then slowly died down, as if they never happened, and the academy slowly returned to its regular state.

Even the library that I burnt down was quickly repaired. I must say that its really hard for normal people like us to fathom the wonders of magic.

The three days after the Annual Tournament, the visitors from other schools and states slowly left the academy, but the security measures here were actually elevated by several levels. Especially when they realize the darkness of the continent has once again revealed themselves, they naturally have concerns for their childrens safety.

And because of that, Doge Military School and Gray Magical Academy were completely merged. Currently, its already possible to see sights of armored knights and magicians walking together.

And during this period, Uncle George had been persuading me into joining the Church. But his efforts were in vain, and he finally left the academy a week before. But, before he go, he gave Yybril a mission to continue torturing me. As such, I did whatever I could to avoid Yybril in the academy for the past few days.

And just a few days ago, the end-semester examinations ended. Naturally, I had that passionate date with Ms. Mari as well. But for some reasons, I have these dangerous vibes for the past few days, as if people were staring daggers at me. Hence, I had been shivering in fear.

But vacation came as promised. However, currently, Princess Michelle wont be letting me off this easily.

But, without an actual reason, Princess Michelle probably wouldnt be so eager to allow to visit her home.

About that umm In any case, you just have to go. Right, I invited Irlin and Aliyah to be my bodyguards on my return trip, so please, you must definitely go. Tomorrow morning, at the inn near the academys northern gate. We will be waiting for you there!

This

Just what is this girl thinking?

And when did Irlin, Aliyah and Princess Michelle become good friends? Why did I not know about something like this?

But evidently, she did not plan on explaining, as the two of them immediately ran out of my dormitory.

Please Before you go, at least leave the key for this new door behind

I helplessly shook my head. I walked up to the door and planned on using ice to make the mold of the key, and then bring it to the store to fix it up.

But, my Famous Detective skill actually flashed up again.

This skill is really annoying, huh. Though its indeed useful, for example, when I accidentally dropped something and did not notice, the Famous Detective would always hint it.

And currently something on the ground was sparkling.

When I picked it up, I realized it was actually a memory crystal! This is

My curiosity got over me, and I tapped the button on it.

Unless you stood up?

If that thing of mine did not stand, then I will really have to worry about the health of my body. But, teacher, havent you realized that the smell of alcohol on your body is a little too strong?

Really~?

I dont smell it at all~?

Alright, stop fooling around. Cant we have a regular conversation between us? For example, a regular and authentic interaction between a teacher and a student?

You dont like it this way? Of course not!

Then shall I hang you up next time?

The entire recording replayed this conversation over and over. Pa.

I only regained my senses when the memory crystal fell onto the ground.

Oh my god

This is impossible, right?

This

This isnt actually on sale, right

See, Fir hasnt arrived yet, right? I already told you, that guy isnt the type to be early.

Aliyah pushed the door open and looked in the inn, and then, turned and told the three young girls behind her.

Probably, hes not awake yet

Irlin said while she straightened the cloak she was wearing.

Her armor was indeed pretty revealing. Although Aliyahs armor was eye-catching, Irlins figure and Aliyahs were in totally different leagues.

And Dual, who was standing at the side Alright, her attire had always stayed the same. I think that she would definitely not change her attire for the sake of others to look at.

Dual, you kept watch of that guys dormitory last night, right? That guy did not leave his dormitory to meet up with the pervert teacher after we left, right?

Un, no, he did not. Then thats good!

Princess Michelle said very angrily.

And I had always felt that teacher was a little weird, but who would have thought that she was such a pervert! Shes really too outrageous! If I do not pull Fir out of the academy now, he will definitely suffer under that womans deadly hands sooner or later!

Whose hands will I suffer under?

I leaped down from the tree at the side, and asked.

Last night, after they left, I immediately teleported to Falans place and told her of my travel plans. Then, I ran over to Lanyas to restock my potions. After that, I immediately came over to the inn, and had been hiding since, as I waited for their arrival.

The memory crystal yesterday told me that, it was too dangerous to stay in the academy. It was best to hide in a place where no one could find me.

How did you arrive before us

Princess Michelle looked at me weirdly, and then turned to look at Dual. Dont mind it, lets go.

I pointed to the distance.

Arent we going to the Ice Empire? I believe its pretty far, isnt it?

Are you perhaps thinking that were planning to get there on horseback?

Un? Arent we? Of course not~

Just when Princess Michelle said that, a very familiar noise suddenly came from the sky!

If I recall correctly

Thats the noise of a magical engine. And the only engine that could make such a loud noise, I can only think of the airship!

Very quickly, an airship which was a little smaller, but looked more imposing, than the one I last saw, appeared in front of us. It had a perfect curve design, and was painted with a mix of blue and yellow. With a single glance, it was possible to distinguish that this was classier than the one before.

Alright, let us be off!

Although Im not sure of the exact distance between the Ice Empire and the academy, but what I did know was, just when I was sighing in awe at how smooth the airship ride was, I realized we had already reached the imperial city of the Ice Empire Blue Crystal City.

Looking out through the window, I could feel my heart beating faster.

From where we were, I couldnt see the edge of the imperial city at all. This scenery which could only been seen in games was actually now right in front of me!

If it was the past me, I definitely wouldnt be able contain myself, and would probably circle the entire city and comb every single place for treasures. But, this world is completely realistic. If I were to look for treasures, I would definitely be regarded as a thief.

After the airship circled around the palace once, it smoothly landed on an empty space behind the palace. The moment the airship door opened, what I saw was two rows of soldiers and maids in-charge of welcoming us, and right in front of us was a butler.

Princess, you finally returned! After so long, you finally promised to return, this is such a rare occasion!

The butler was called Moselius. He was LV 34 as a Swordsman, and LV 50 as a Butler. He belonged to the Kind alignment, and had a cautious personality.

There were just special circumstances, thats all.

When Princess Michelle said that, she turned to look at me, and then continued. They are all my important friends, you must treat them as how you do to me!

Otherwise, believe me, I will immediately fire you! Yes! I understand, princess!

Princess Michelle, your method of threatening people is really unique

I measured the soldiers and maids at the side with a few glances. All of the soldiers were about LV 25, and as for the maids, other than a few who were LV 20 swordswomen, the rest were normal maids.

But

There wasnt a single Magician at all!

And even without using my skills, I could feel the surrounding magic particles were in disarray, and I dont really know the reason to it.

Friends of our princess, although most of you are swordsmen, but theres still a need for me to explain. The entire palace is completely covered with a magic restriction field. Unless one has special permission, otherwise, he will not be able to use magic. This is something I need to explain, otherwise, it wouldnt be good if a misunderstanding occurs.

I see.

While I was thinking about that, I tried to use my Ice Shield magic spell.

But, the magic formation flashed, and the Ice Shield immediately appeared on my hand!

Seeing this spectacle, the old butler was so shocked, he did not know how to respond. After a few seconds, a soldier finally reacted. He pulled out his weapon and pointed it at me.

Taking the hint, the rest of the soldiers took out their weapons as well, and pointed them at me.

At this moment, Princess Michelle reacted, and shouted at them. What are you guys doing!? Didnt you guys hear what I just said!?

Hurry and put down your weapons! Listen to Princess Michelles command! Do

not treat our guests with disrespect! The old butler followed up loudly.

Finally, the soldiers lowered the weapons.

But evidently, Princess Michelle was still angry.

You bastards, what are your ears for!? All of you, slice off your own ears, now! Hearing these words, even I was shocked.

Those soldiers shivered at her words as well. Then, they looked at each other, while their shivering hands were reaching out to the dagger on their waists.

Princess Michelle, theres no need for that, is there? It was my mistake for summoning my Ice Shield. You dont really have to punish them like that.

I hurriedly intervened.

Whats with the bloody violence in the middle of the day!? Is this an on-site horror movie?

Even though I know that the authority of the royalties are absolute, but, its still too much to casually cut off someones ears.

But They pointed their weapons at you! Princess Michelle said with a frown.

But they did it with your safety in mind, right? Just forgive them, alright?

Un Fine. All of you, listen well! This time, because of State Magician Firs pleading, I shall forgive all of you! This will not happen again, is that clear!?

Yes!

Everyone yelled at the same time.

Although there werent any big changes to their facial expressions, but I could feel them sighing in relief in their hearts.

Princess, this isnt a good place to talk. Please return to the palace.

Un, Fir, lets go! I shall let you witness the almighty strength of our Ice Empire! Un

I already knew that though.

Earlier on the airship, I had already seen the entire view of the imperial city. It feels like it will take more than half a day to walk from one end of the city to the other. And the imperial palace itself was already a size larger than Gray Magical Academy.

Did you guys build this large palace for the sake of training your bodies regularly?

Probably because of the congregating of ice elemental particles in the Ice Empire, not just the imperial city, even the imperial palaces walls were filled with shimmering white blue luster.

Even though it was autumn and it was still many days away from winter, but the air was cold, and the temperature was probably in the single digits. (degrees celsius) When breathing out, it was possible to see white puffs floating in the air.

But inside the imperial palace, it was rather comfortable. It wasnt too cold, nor was it too hot, the feeling was just perfect.

One thing to point out

Was that the place was too big, and there wasnt a single convenient movement tool. We only reached our destination after walking for a total of 20 minutes. The imperial palaces center Imperial Palaces Chamber.

After entering through the door, what came into our sight was the Emperor of the Ice Empire, Hur Ice Afungus, who was sitting on the seat at the very top.

He looked different than the last time I saw him. Currently, he was exuding a

much stronger aura of prestige and might. Dont ask me how I was about to feel it. My attack warning was flashing so much, it was about to explode.

But, this feeling slowly disappeared, and I was finally able to sigh in relief.

There were a few people standing beside the emperor, three women and two men. Although I couldnt see their titles clearly, but from how they were dressed, they were probably the princes and princesses of the Ice Empire.

Below the steps, the guy with an unknown level, and was wearing a set of heavy armor, was probably the commander of the Ice Empires military forces. And the officials standing at the sides, are probably figures like the prime minister and such.

Of course, the several officials were standing in two rows. Looks like Princess Michelles return was really something to be treated seriously.

Walking up to the center of the huge hall, all of us kneeled on a single knee and paid respects to the Emperor.

Aaaaaah, I hate kneeling!

Suddenly, I saw the message Aliyah sent.

Theres no such thing as democracy here, so endure it. Just recite your loyal minister has arrived to pay respects to your majesty in your mind, and you wont feel that terrible.

Although I dont know what expression Aliyah was making, but, seeing how her body fidgeted for a moment, she definitely almost broke into laughter.

Im back.

Princess Michelle said that, and before the emperor said anything, he immediately stood up.

He had a somewhat helpless expression, and gave a bitter smile. All of you, rise.

Then Im going to bring my friends out to play.

Just when we stood up, Princess Michelle immediately said that, and then walked towards the door leading out of the chamber.

The people at the sides looked on as if it was a regular occurrence, and did not say a single word.

You guys are a little too casual about this Fir!

Suddenly, the Emperor called my name.

Your majesty, is there anything I can do for you?

When youre free, report to the Magician Tower. I believe you will definitely find some several good things over there.

I understand.

After saying that, I followed Princess Michelle out of the chamber.

Once the door to the chamber was closed, Princess Michelle immediately started to complain.

Hmph! Whats with all that acting! I hate it so much! Lets go! I will bring you guys out to play!

Play? Where?

Obviously, in the imperial city!

Princess, you must not do that. Currently, the royal knights are changing their shifts, please wait for an hour

Who are you to manage my affairs!

Princess Michelle turned and stared at the butler. This

The butler did not know what to say, and looked towards us. I sighed, and walked over.

Princess Michelle, stop fooling around. Isnt the butler doing this for your sake? Although Im not sure of the situation in the Ice Empire, but since the butler said that its for your safety to best not move about too much, then theres definitely a reason for that, right?

After saying that, I glanced at the butler.

Thats right, thats right! Princess, you just have to wait for a short while. The butler immediately followed up.

Hmph Fir and the rest will be able to protect my safety. And Duals beside me. You should know of her capabilities. If you do not trust Fir, then why dont you have a duel with him?

Hey hey! Werent we told that were not able to use magic in the palace!? Werent you able to use it in the morning?
