It was already morning by the time I woke up. Olivia was beside me, awake, staring at me with a lustful face.


    "Olivia, no sex." I think I turned her into a nymphomaniac. Yesterday''s stimtion must have been too much for her. But seeing her ufortable, I doubted what she was asking for.


    "Charlie, my crotch hurts." I may have overdone it yesterday.


    "Stay here for the day. I would like to take care of you. But I don''t think it will be good to skip ss again." Olivia was heartbroken seeing that I wouldn''t take care of her.


    "Do you want anything before Ie back?" She was going to stay in bed all day long. The best I could do was get something for her.


    "Could you get me some magazines?" It would be boring if she stayed here all day. And it wasn''t that hard to get.


    "Let''s eat first." It may be wrong if we ate on the bed, but I could easily erase the crumbs that would fall on the bed.


    After finishing our meal, it was time for me to go. Giving Olivia a deep kiss, I dejectedly left the room. It was the first time I went to this school without Olivia. I just hope this won''t be harmed in any way.


    Arriving at ss didn''t take long. Seeing that I arrived alone and was absent yesterday had gotten some attention.


    Reba walked up to me and was going to ask me something. "Did you leave your maid behind?"


    "No, she''s just sick."


    "Sick? That is rare for a magician." It''s not like she is sick from an illness.


    "She will be better tomorrow."


    "How about we go shopping after ss?"


    "Sorry, but gotta take care of Olivia."


    Reba looked displeased by my rejection, but there was nothing she could do about it. Before continuing, our teacher came in. With that, she went back to her desk.


    "Everyone!" Our weird teacher screamed, getting the attention of our ss.


    "Today, we will be doing some activities with other sses from our school." I don''t see a point in this since the others would likely be worse than those in other sses.


    "What would we be doing with the other sses?" A random ssmate of ours asked.


    "We would be fighting them. What else would we do?" Ms. Colorful had a sadisticugh when she said that.


    I see. Our teacher just wanted us to beat up the other sses to show her superiority as a teacher. I wouldn''t be surprised if the other teachers hated her guts.


    "But isn''t it pointless if we fought? I thought that our ss would easily win." An exchange student said, making her argument urate.


    "Life isn''t fair sometimes, and this is today''s lesson." Everyone in the ss didn''t know what to say to this.


    "In life, sometimes you would have to face weaker opponents, and today you would learn how to fight them." I could get behind that if that was my everyday life.


    But knowing my luck, that wouldn''t be true. I would have to fight much stronger things in the future.


    Before we did that, the teacher talked about her day for about thirty minutes. I don''t know how Ms. Colorful could do that, but it had stalled enough for us to do the ss battle.


    We could already see two sses, with the whole ss going to the gym. It was a good thing Olivia wasn''t in ss today. Otherwise, she would''ve fought someone.


    A whileter, another ss came. There would be four sses grouped together, fighting against one another.


    "By the way, if any of you lose your fight. You will be punished." That was pretty dark. Her pride as a teacher clearly showed.


    Leaving us on our own, the four teachers went up to the gym stage. "Don''t you think this is boring?" Ruby, who was beside me, spoke.


    "Why do we have to waste time on these weaklings?" She was clearly angry that she had to fight people below her level. It was understandable since she was someone who enjoyed fighting opponents.


    Ms. Colorful, using her mana, gathered the attention of everyone. She was going to speak due to her status as the head teacher.


    "Now that everyone is listening, all of you know what we''re here for." Ms. Colorful wasn''t loud, but her voice had been heard clearly.


    "Everyone here would be fighting a member of a different ss. To make everyone here fight seriously, we added a reward for the winner." A reward? It never hurts to get free stuff.


    People in our ss were happy that they were going to get something for winning. Our chances of winning were much higher than the others.


    "For the lower sses, if you beat someone from an upper ss, you would take their ce." That is a heavy punishment for losing, but it wouldn''t bother me anyways.


    "And for the upper ss, if you win. You will get a rank two purity mana crystal." My eyes widened, hearing that we would get a pure mana crystal.


    They are rare mana crystals that would improve the rate of mana absorption. What made them pretty rare was to make a pure mana crystal. You would have to take your own mana to make them.


    Making them would make you lose your progress as a mage. Not only that, they had to be made by someone under forty.


    No one in the right mind would do that. Pure mana crystals are rarely sold in shops; to make it worse, they are insanely expensive.


    Why would the teachers of Avaris do something like this when exchange students are mixed in? I doubt that they would give us it, and not to their main students that had been exchanged to other countries.


    Were they trying to flex how much resources they had? I couldn''t figure it out so I stopped this train of thought.


    As I was busy trying to figure out why they were doing this practice, most of the students moved to the side of the gym making way for the battlers.
