Chapter 152: Is it funny that my credits are going to be completely wasted again?

This squinty-eyed witch, who looked quite kind, was actually the Second Instructor of the Starsea Magic Academy, the Frost Witch—La Sista.

Charlotte watched this scene in shock, and sure enough, she spotted the familiar figure of Instructor Mashiro in a corner.

The First Instructor, Kaf Yelenna, the Witch of the Void, who was flying at the front of the group, raised her wand and pointed it directly at the Ice Wolf army.

“Exterminate them!”

Following Kaf’s extermination order, the other instructors moved in unison.

In an instant, countless large-scale spells erupted like fireworks at New Year, exploding within the Ice Wolf army with a thunderous roar.

The Ice Wolf army was like flesh accidentally caught in a meat grinder; blood and limbs flew everywhere.

Yet, before the splattered blood could even hit the ground, it was instantly vaporized by the bombardment of other spells.

The battle was a complete one-sided slaughter.

Witnessing this, Charlotte stood frozen on the spot in shock, the super-sized Crimson Judgment Bullet in her hand fizzling out.

‘Actually, we knew about the Ice Wolf Clan’s plan to invade Tsumuguri City from the very beginning…’

A familiar voice suddenly came from beside her.

Charlotte quickly turned her head and saw Noelle flying next to her on a magic broomstick.

As if watching a grand fireworks display, her face showed no trace of tension.

‘The reason we assigned the Ice Wolf investigation to you was to lure these guys into invading proactively so we could wipe them out in one fell swoop.’

‘As expected, you didn’t disappoint; you finally managed to shatter that large defensive barrier.’

Charlotte was instantly speechless.

This kind of statement didn’t sound like a compliment to her at all!

‘…Uh, wait, isn’t that defensive barrier extremely important? Was it really okay for me to break it?’

‘Don’t you worry about that!’

‘According to our investigation, this Ice Wolf invasion was entirely an independent action by their clan.’

‘It seems there is some sort of competition going on within the Demon Clan; to seize so-called “speaking rights,” this group of Ice Wolves wanted to stage an attack on Tsumuguri City.’

‘Unfortunately for them, they are all just battle-crazed idiots who never imagined this was a trap we set.’

While they chatted, the Ice Wolf army was completely wiped out, with almost no survivors left.

‘Trading a defensive barrier that wasn’t doing much anyway for a group of Ice Wolves that would have been very troublesome to deal with—don’t you think that’s a bargain?’

Saying this, Noelle turned her head with a smile and stared at Charlotte.

Charlotte could only nod blankly.

‘Fine, whatever you say. You are the Academy Head of Starsea Magic Academy, after all!’

‘Um, so, does that mean the fact that I accidentally broke the barrier won’t result in a deduction of my academic credits?’

‘That depends on your instructor’s mood. Who is your instructor again? Oh, it’s that child Mashiro. Then you’re screwed!’

‘Academy Head Noelle, please, help me out! I worked so hard to make up for last year’s deductions! Onegai, if more credits get docked, I—watashi—’

Charlotte immediately hugged Noelle’s leg, trying to beg for leniency.

‘It’s no use begging me. It’s not like I didn’t give you a chance back then; Mashiro wanted to take you as a disciple, but you refused!’

‘But there’s no need for her to target me at every turn!’

At that moment, Kaf, having completely annihilated the Ice Wolf army, returned to Noelle to report.

‘Academy Head Noelle, my apologies. One Ice Wolf girl managed to escape.’

‘No, that’s fine. Leaving a survivor is actually a good thing; if the Ice Wolf Clan were wiped out all at once, I’d feel a bit guilty. In any case, thank you for your hard work!’

‘Then we shall take our leave!’

‘Mhm. I’ll handle the repairs to the barrier myself.’

After saying goodbye to Noelle, the twelve instructors flew past them.

As Mashiro passed Charlotte, she quietly left a few words.

‘Charlotte, I am definitely docking your credits.’

‘Yada yo!’ Charlotte cried out in despair.

The calamity triggered by the Ice Wolf Clan finally ended without further incident, and the defensive barrier Charlotte had blasted open was quickly repaired by Noelle.

As Miya and the other four catgirls were successfully returned to Hajimide Village by Elsa.

Although Charlotte suffered a deduction of two hundred academic credits due to the barrier incident, because the investigation commission had been assigned to both Charlotte and Elsa, Elsa ended up sharing the credit penalty for no reason, which left her absolutely fuming.

Fortunately, in consideration of Elsa and Charlotte proactively returning the five catgirls to their hometown, Mashiro restored Elsa’s credits.

It was essentially as if she had worked the commission for nothing.

Charlotte was not so lucky; Mashiro only gave her back two points.

With a net loss of ninety-eight credits still to make up, Charlotte couldn’t help but complain.

‘Instructor Mashiro, couldn’t you have given me just two more points?’

Binghua Liuqi ran swiftly across a prairie.

Several shocking wounds remained on her body; because she had been constantly fleeing for her life, these wounds had never fully healed.

The pursuers were still hot on her trail, and she didn’t have a single moment to rest.

‘Why did it turn out like this?’ she asked herself.

She was originally the daughter of the current Ice Wolf Clan chief.

To gain leverage in the Demon Clan’s joint negotiations, her father had devised the plan for a surprise attack on Tsumuguri City.

Although she felt the plan wouldn’t go as smoothly as imagined and had advised her father to reconsider—after all, a single clan attacking the witches’ headquarters was inherently risky—her father ignored everything.

He firmly believed the Ice Wolf Clan was omnipotent.

To show the other demons their strength, this attack had to proceed.

The final result was that their entire force was ambushed by the witches.

Hundreds of clansmen were crowded into a narrow space where they couldn’t maneuver, and after being bombarded by the witches’ magic, their army completely collapsed.

She had only managed to carve a path out and escape through the breach in the enemy’s barrier under her father’s cover.

But she was heavily wounded, and her physical energy was exhausted after the long journey.

However, as long as she could cross the Boundary Mountain Range before her, the pursuers behind her wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

Liuqi thought this, but suddenly a cold arrow shot through the air and struck her in the back.

The intense pain made her body convulse, and she fell to the ground, unable to move.

Seeing the pursuers about to catch up, Liuqi felt a surge of despair.

‘No matter how I struggle, can I not escape this fate of certain death?’

Thinking this, Liuqi despairingly closed her eyes, quietly awaiting her end.

However, death did not arrive as expected.

Instead, a series of tragic screams suddenly rang out.

Liuqi opened her eyes and looked back.

She saw the two pursuers who had been chasing her lying dead on the ground.

A red-haired girl stood quietly beside her; it seemed she was the one who had dealt with the pursuers.

“You…” Liuqi asked the red-haired girl.

“Me? Are you asking who I am? Hehe, I am the First True Ancestor of the Blood Clan, as well as the Red Night Demon King who rules the entire Demon race—Feiye Zhenhong.”

“Those fools actually moved without orders and sent the entire Ice Wolf elite to their deaths. What a bunch of idiots.”

“But fortunately, you are still alive. Follow me from now on; I will protect you.”
