"Well, I have to apologize first."

After the thawing, Meloduo fell out completely, but the armor and clothes on his body were all soaked, which made him stand unsteadily. Although the ice generated by magic would not melt unless it encountered fire magic, its cold temperature could liquefy the moisture in the air. Otherwise, Meloduo wouldn't be wet...

But the other party was still wearing armor, so naturally there wouldn't be any benefits. And judging from the other party's benefits, he would probably die a miserable death...

"I'm sorry for using the ultimate on you without opening my battle enchantment," Meloduo said.

"No, it's my fault. After all, I attacked first, and I am already grateful that you didn't directly kill me," the other person replied respectfully.

"What are you talking about?" I tapped her head.

"I'm a teacher. How could I possibly kill my own student? Now, go find a place to change your clothes quickly."

"No, I..."

"Go change!"

I released a freezing soil erosion towards her, and the armor and clothes on her instantly turned into ice.

"Or do you want to become an ice sculpture and stand here until the end of class?"

"I..."

She gritted her teeth and replied slowly.

"I...will...change..."

"Very well, that's how it should be."

I snapped my fingers, and the ice on her body turned into ice fragments and scattered to the sides. Taking advantage of the fact that the ice had not melted into water yet, Meloduo quickly rushed towards the nearby female trainee's room and slammed the door shut.

"Now, I believe I have made my attitude very clear. Let's start class now. First..."

I looked around the room.

"I know most of you, but I don't know where the previous teacher left off. So, can someone tell me what part you have learned so far?"

"Well..."

Oyado raised her hand.

"In fact, Ms. Mary was very angry this morning because you didn't attend the class. Although Ms. Mary said that practical and theoretical lessons are taught separately, it should still be synchronized to make it easier for us to understand."

"I see. Thank you very much for your answer, Oyado. Well, it can't be helped that such a thing happened. After all, I didn't receive any course arrangement. Okay, Cher Princess, what did you learn this morning?"

"What... you're asking me. Well, I don't know what was taught because I didn't go to class."

"What?"

"Because the theoretical knowledge is too boring, so I skipped class."

"Why can you proudly say that? Although I also think theory is not fun, but... that's not the point. Alright, let's move on to class now. Since there is no practical content to cover, why don't you all tell me what you want to learn the most? If you tell me that you don't want to learn anything, then I can't force you. So, please propose the content you most want to study."

Everyone looked at each other without speaking. Oyado wasn't interested in magic, and as for Princess Cher and Princess Annie, well, I didn't expect them to participate personally. The others, the two from the Marshall family were whispering to each other, I don't know what they were saying. As for the Sheldon family... they kept glancing at the Marshall family without paying any attention.

"It seems like you all don't have anything you want to learn, so let's end the class..."

"Just a moment, we..."

Just as the two Marshall siblings were about to say something, a louder shout came from behind me.

"Please tell me how to use both swordsmanship and magic at the same time!"

I turned around and saw Merodoro, who had changed into a student uniform, holding a sword and a spellbook behind me.

"Your attack just now was instantaneous. You must be at a level surpassing a sworn mage, right? And please tell me that you can also use swordsmanship. You must be a true magic swordsman! Please tell me how to use both of these powers at the same time! I must obtain this power!"

"Well... I don't know what you've been through, but wanting to become powerful in a hurry won't work. According to my theory, first, you need to master your own advantages and then find the weaknesses of your enemies. Only then can you completely defeat others. Well, how about this? You can volunteer to battle against Merodoro here."

Just as I finished speaking, almost everyone averted their gaze almost simultaneously.

It seems like this guy is indeed terrifying to the rest of the class now. Instead of rejection, they look more like they fear him.

There's no other choice, do I have to...

"Here! Onii-chan! Leave it to me! I will fight against Merodoro-san."

Oyado volunteered and quickly ran to the arena.

"Is this okay, Lin-sensei?"

Merodoro looked at Oyado with some concern.

"It's fine, since Oyado said so... just be careful, well, I mean, be careful for your own life, because if Oyado goes all out... I might not even be able to fight against her."

"W-what?"

Merodoro swallowed nervously and then looked at Oyado.

"Well... please guide me then."

"Got it, Onii-chan~"

Oyado said, shaking her hands, and pulled out two sharp daggers from somewhere, one of which was the Dagger of Death that I gave her.

"Alright, you two take your positions."

I pointed to the nearby battlefield.

"Indeed, combat enchantment is more exciting."

Merodoro stepped onto the battlefield, holding a book in her left hand and a sword in her right, assuming a fighting stance.

After Oyado stepped onto the battlefield, she simply smiled and looked at Merodoro.

"Oyado, give her a chance to fight, or else you won't be able to find her weakness."

"Understood, Onii-chan~"

Oyado waved cutely, and I sighed, activating the combat enchantment.

"Let the battle begin!"

When I gave the command, Merodoro's body flashed with green light, and she turned into a green blur, rushing towards Oyado's side.

The longsword in her hand struck at Oyado, the sharp blade directly aimed at Oyado, with no reservations in its force.

But...

The blade passed through Oyado, who was dissipating into fragments, and at the same time, a cold dagger was already at the back of Merodoro's neck.

"Big sister Merodoro, you lost~"

She spoke in a cute tone, but her eyes, resembling a ferocious dog, silently appeared behind Merodoro. Yes, she was crouching on Merodoro's shoulders, with the tip of one dagger against the back of Merodoro's neck, and the other poised in front.

"You... are already dead~"
