The Hero Kicked Me Out of His Party, So I Turned Him into My Maid - Chapter 55

…

Ariel admits that this outfit can indeed arouse a certain desire in students, but isn’t it specifically targeted at male students?

However, I have to admit that I seem to fall for this too, now that I’ve awakened my past life memories.

Perhaps some ancient ancestors were obsessed with practicing methods of gender reassignment because of this?

Lise retrieved her own notes, then opened the textbook and explained the content by combining the textbook with her notes.

“The time is too short, only half a month, so I will speak very quickly.”

Ariel listened attentively while taking notes, her quill pen moving continuously across the paper, writing letter after letter. And after finishing her notes, she would immediately look up to listen to Lise explain the next point.

While listening to the lecture, I glanced at Mila out of the corner of my eye. Mila was also looking very serious, and she was taking notes even more skillfully than I was, leaving afterimages in her quill pen.

“Ugh… what’s that smell?”

Mira lifted the quill pen; the tip was charred black, and a wisp of black smoke could be faintly seen rising from it.

Ariel could even smell the odor of burning feathers, and there was even a large hole burned in Mira’s notebook.

“Looks like he wrote too fast and caught a burn?”

Ariel could only speculate.

Fortunately, with Lise, the most powerful successor to the title of “Ice Witch,” there is no problem for her to freeze the transmutation magic circle or control the mere unburned flames.

Mila, on the other hand, felt somewhat aggrieved:

“I don’t even understand my own hands anymore…”

Lise paused, seemingly thinking for a moment, and then said:

“There is another way to control the quill pen.”

Mira scratched her head, not expecting the force to be so great. The wig flew off completely, revealing her real hair, which had been burned through in the middle.

Lise looked at Mira’s hair, but remained silent and expressionless.

Mira could only smile to cover her embarrassment, picked up the wig and put it on, unsure of what to do with her hands, feeling quite awkward all over.

Ariel deliberately ignored Mira, afraid of making her even more embarrassed, and asked the question Mira was going to ask for her:

“Is it like controlling chalk?”

“no.”

Lise’s head swayed slightly from side to side, as if twitching, but it was actually shaking its head:

“This involves familiars.”

Familiar…

Familiars seem to be similar to the spirit beasts that followed cultivators in the previous life.

The difference is that familiars are creatures summoned from another world. Only after signing a familiar contract with this extraterrestrial visitor can they be called familiars.

A witch has almost a 90% chance of gaining the favor of a familiar and signing a familiar contract. An ordinary magician, on the other hand, only has a 20% chance.

Furthermore, familiar contracts are a high-level magic course that is taught starting in the fourth year.

Therefore, even Lise and Luna, who were the top two students in the third year, never had a familiar.

“I haven’t mastered the art of summoning familiars, but I know of a similar spell.”

Lise stared at the quill pen on Ariel’s desk and silently recited a spell. The spell was very long; when Ariel stopped, it contained almost two hundred words.

After that, the quill pen was covered with a faint green light. It seemed to possess sentience, stood up, and wrote a line of text in Ariel’s notebook:

“It’s been 10 days since the last time, it’s expired!”

“!”

After seeing this text, Ariel quickly closed her notebook.

Fortunately, Mila didn’t see it.

So much has happened lately that I feel so fulfilled that I haven’t even realized ten days have already passed.

In my previous life, a single cultivation session would last for months or even years, which made me somewhat insensitive to the passage of time.

No wonder Lise’s body temperature was so low; it was her own fault.

Perhaps Lise couldn’t bear to disrupt her own plans…

Mira hung her head, lacking confidence in the magic.

“This magic is too complicated. Memorizing spells with dozens of words is already exhausting enough, but this long spell is just too much for me… I’m sorry, Lise…”

Ariel noticed that Lise was staring at her the whole time, and didn’t answer Mira’s question immediately, only saying, “It’s okay, I didn’t think it through.”

Could it be that Lise, though not outwardly expressing it, is actually quite dissatisfied inside…?

Is she thinking that she would rather conduct research with Luna than cultivate with her?

Is she thinking that she took the initiative to propose that they should continue practicing together, but then went back on her word, making her seem like a heartless woman?

In any case, an apology is necessary now, and Lise needs an explanation.

This can’t be allowed to go unnoticed by Mira; it looks like we’re having an affair…

Alyssa opened her notebook, pointed to a word, and nodded.

After seeing the “tomorrow” that Alyssa pointed to, Lise finally stopped scrutinizing it and continued speaking to Mira:

“I’m just cooling the laptop down a bit; it won’t catch fire.”

After resolving Mira’s note-taking issue, Ms. Lise’s teaching activities proceeded smoothly without encountering any further obstacles.

If there’s a problem, it’s that Lise’s teaching pace is just too fast.

When it was late at night, and Ariel and Mira’s wrists felt like they were about to break, Lise finally stopped teaching.

At this point, a 328-page book titled “Basic Magic Rune Science,” with the knowledge points from the textbook and two to three times the amount of supplementary knowledge points from her notes, was covered in a 266-page book in seven hours.

If Ariel and Mira hadn’t been unable to continue, Lise had planned to finish the entire book that night.

Even with Mira’s exceptional physical strength, she lay motionless on the ground, foaming at the corners of her mouth, her eyes and mouth drooping, utterly silent. If it weren’t for the slight rise and fall of her lower abdomen with each breath, one would have thought she had collapsed from exhaustion and gone to meet the god of the underworld.

Ariel’s reaction was milder than Mira’s, thanks to the wonderful technique she learned in her previous life—the “Gathering Things Technique”.

The reason why cultivators can store treasures and magical artifacts into their storage bags simply by using spiritual energy is because they have cultivated some minor techniques.

“The Art of Obtaining Things” is the most suitable minor cultivation technique for the physique of Ochiai Sect disciples.

Furthermore, in my previous life, I made some minor improvements to this technique. The main improvement was that when I was being bullied by my fellow disciples and swept the floor, I could use the “Gift-Gathering Technique” to control the broom and thus be able to slack off.

Just now, Lise reminded me of this little technique from my past life, and it was indeed much stronger than the magic Lise used.

As long as the quill is in your hand, you don’t need much strength; you can manipulate it with your spiritual energy to write the correct letters.

“I should go back; I have class tomorrow. I’ll come back tonight.”

Seeing that Mira hadn’t opened her eyes due to exhaustion, Lise brazenly handed Ariel a small note.

Ariel unfolded the small note; the few small but powerful letters on it formed an even more powerful word:

“I’ll be waiting for you in the dorm tomorrow morning.”

It turns out that Lise was lying earlier; she actually wanted to practice together with me tomorrow morning!
