‘At least it’s a relief I haven’t been slacking off…’

I had been paying periodic attention to the goldmine that was the girls’ restroom in the magic academy.

As a result, I was able to overhear stories from the students who frequented the place, allowing me to piece together their own personal circumstances.

“Uungg… Karen… I love it…!!
Karen… be gentle…!!
Karen’s sucking on mine…!!”

Truly, the more I heard, the more my head spun, a lesbian sapling dreaming of future slug-like boobim coitus.

“Ahht…!! Linda, you bitch…!!
Just because you’re good at academics, you act all high and mighty…
Suck my pussy!! As expected… hiccup!!
Haa… haa… that face suits you…!!”

And a girl whose imaginary opponent clearly didn’t seem friendly, imagining revenge.

“Ch… Charlie… Charlie…!!
Deeper… shove it in deeper…♡”

Then, occasionally, there were cute girls imagining getting intimate with the male student they were normally crushing on.

Perhaps because my identity was established as a ghost, there were quite a few girls who unintentionally revealed their inner thoughts.

Although each snippet uttered by different girls didn’t exactly help in understanding the full story.

But conversely, this was also an opportunity.

By monitoring one or two girls, I could obtain deeper information than others knew.

And among them, ‘Eloise,’ the owner of a slender body who I thought was just a student until she actually opened her mouth, caught my eye.

‘This woman is a professor in the Magical Engineering Department…?’

Her clothes were usually a bit different from the other students, so I wondered what was up, but looking at her naked body, it was hard to believe she was an adult, she was so scrawny.

Truly, she seemed like a woman who had only studied her whole life.

Her skin was also thin and soft, with muscles clearly visible, and her body looked sickly, as if she lacked stamina.

But the grayish mystique that her physique evoked, judging from her appearance in front of the spider, seemed more than sufficient to become a member of the lair.

‘Come to think of it, isn’t this the woman from back then…?’

I had seen her once before.

To be precise, I had encountered an opportunity to see her relationships at a glance.

Edward, the man who held her hand in front of the flower bed, taking a friendly crystal ball couple photo.

And, Anne, the girl who watched the two of them from afar with eyes of longing and frustration.

‘Again… Anne…’

Even though she didn’t have much of a connection with me, she kept getting involved in every incident.

Vivian’s feelings towards her also didn’t seem good, so it was best for me to keep them from running into each other if possible.

But this time, she wouldn’t be involved either.

If my plan went as expected, this matter would be handled very quietly.

Anne, who seemed to be infatuated with the man named Edward, and Eloise, who had Edward as her lover, or so it seemed, as she cried out his name every time she was caressed by the spider.

Judging from Eloise’s monologues I had heard so far, she seemed to be unable to properly satisfy her rather strong sexual desire, perhaps because she wasn’t married yet.

‘Come to think of it… chastity is important to them, isn’t it…?’

Looking at Eloise using the spider to relieve the disappointment of not being able to be embraced by the man named Edward, it wasn’t impossible to think that she could be swayed by that pleasure.

‘Still, persuasion is only a last resort…’

First, I needed to know the extent of her abilities to get an estimate of my final course of action.

If she was someone who would cause a lot of bloodshed if touched, it would be better not to touch her at all.

Thus, my surveillance operation on her began.

From the house where the spider I had infiltrated clung to her cloak as she returned home.

“Welcome back, Miss?
You’ve worked hard today.”

“It’s been a long day, Martha.
Are Father and Mother…”

“The Baron and Madam have attended a social gathering…
I heard it was held at the Giles Marquis’s residence.”

“Is that so… I see, Martha.
I don’t feel well today, so I’ll skip dinner.
I’ll make a lunchbox tomorrow morning, so please prepare the ingredients.”

“Yes, Miss… Shall I prepare your bath first?
I’ll get the bathroom ready?”

To her academy professor’s research lab.

“Good morning, Professor Fantini.”

“Hello, Professor Graham?
The weather is really nice today, isn’t it?”

“Indeed. With such nice weather…
The assistants seem to be in high spirits as well.
They can’t concentrate today, and they’re grinning at each other…
Who can live with such sorrow… sigh…”

“Hehe!! It might be nice to do research in such a good atmosphere sometimes.”

And even to the lecture hall where she taught students.

“Professor!!”

“Oh my? What is this?”

“Men are such… sigh…
The boys in our class are giving this to you as a gift, Professor.
It’s your gift, so why are you guys hiding!!”

“Aha!! Hehe!! I’ll gratefully accept it.
But I hope you refrain from giving gifts from now on.
Your hearts alone are enough to make me happy.
I’m even more pleased that you’re all diligently attending even during vacation.”

“In that sense, this is… Professor Frederick’s assignment…
Actually, it’s about finding the magic correction factor according to the magic power of Elton’s four-sided defense formation…”

“You had ulterior motives? Hehe!!
Then, since I’ve received a bribe, shall I give a special lecture?”

The swarm members, who could go anywhere and hear anything, infiltrated deep into her life and began to bring me new information every moment.

Based on such constant surveillance, combining spiders and kernel worms, I was able to conclude that she was quite a remarkable person and educator.

Unlike Vivian, who was full of spirit and a challenging mind, or Lanie, who was literally thirsty for fun like a young child.

If I had to compare, she was similar to Yui, who had the feeling of a modest young lady, but compared to her, she was a gentle aristocratic lady with the余裕 of an adult.

Besides, looking at her usual appearance, it was an added bonus that I couldn’t help but think that her abilities were extraordinary.

“Now, this is the magic circle that goes into the Chembledon’s magic ignition device, which is a basic device.
It’s a circle made of a single layer, as befits a basic magic circle, but the inside is complex, isn’t it?
Then, if you flow magic power like this…”

– Fwip

“Wow…!!”

“The magic power, which has changed its properties in a conflicting form through the magic circle, creates strong heat.
That’s the basic principle of causing flames.
If you add other combustibles to this, it can become a sustained flame.
In fact, it can be said that applying this Chembledon magic circle is most of the flame magic.
For example…”

She seemed to wave her hand once in the air, and the tips of her slender fingers danced gracefully as if drawing a picture.

Before I knew it, the tips of her fingers were shining, and it looked as if bright luminous paint was being sprinkled in the air, taking shape.

Each movement seemed to have meaning, and Eloise’s serious expression continued for a moment.

“Deplea.”

“Waaaaaa!!”

About 10 seconds later, a bright pillar of fire shot up into the sky with a sudden bright light.

The expressions of the students watching it were truly like those of boys and girls watching a campfire.

“The activation word to activate the magic circle is the spell name.
‘Deplea’ is originally an attack magic, as you all know.
It’s a spell that widens the range and firepower to attack monsters extensively.
Calculate the range and firepower level of the magic.
And by combining the Chembledon magic circle with the magic power to burn it…
You can create such a pillar of fire?”

“Ooooo!!”

“Perhaps those of you in the Magical Engineering Department will not have much use for it.
But those who design must know how to use it.
That’s my theory, that you can create even more perfect designs.
I’ll control it, so how about practicing once?”

“Yessss!!”

The excited students each took their positions and wiggled their fingers this way and that, showing off their trivial cuteness.

They didn’t seem to have the same precision as Eloise.

But even so, some students were concentrating and sweating profusely, and occasionally managed to succeed in small-scale spells.

“Pillar of fire!! A man’s romance!!”

“Look at my fiery pillar!!”

“Big and beautiful!!”

Among them, there was a male student whose pillar of fire shot up from his groin as he adjusted the location and direction of the spell, but that act was immediately suppressed by Eloise, who quickly ran over and flicked him on the forehead.

“Relaldea…
Luciadra…”

“Waaa!! Navida!!”

“Prettyyy…♡”

Then, when the practice was over, Eloise didn’t forget to provide a service by showing off a spectacular magic show to the students.

She put one of the many beautiful butterflies made of magic power that flew in the sky on her finger and smiled brightly at the students.

Not to mention that her whole body was enveloped in brilliant lighting, but in addition to the charm as a woman that came from the gentle atmosphere, she also had the余裕 of an expert that no one could easily challenge in her field.

It was no wonder that she was an object of admiration for male students (although her chest was lacking) and an object of envy for female students, and even I, who was watching, couldn’t help but stiffen slightly.

‘That’s magic…’

Not only the pillar of fire that annihilates enemies in a wide area, but also such a beautiful sight created with magic power.

In fact, isn’t that what a man’s romance is all about?

Shooting fire from your hands, creating blizzards.

‘But me… do I have to shoot fire from my tentacles…?’

I quickly accepted the reality that had no answer, but I couldn’t bend my purpose.

And above all, my sense of purpose was only getting stronger…

‘Oh my… I must buy that…!!’

How much stronger would the lair become with one such professor-level mage?

How much additional profit and development could be gained from it?

When I thought about it, I had to desperately resist the urge to pounce on her right away.
