She rubbed her temples.
"Hah... I thought you had changed... but I guess I was wrong."
She glared directly into his eyes.
"Fifty credit points will be deducted from you. Also, after lectures end today, you will clean all the washrooms on the floor of your classroom."
Noah’s eyes widened.
anwhile, the trio smirked with delight. Even Ria was shocked by the punishnt.
If she had taken him to the Discipline Committee, he wouldn’t have been forced to clean washrooms.
But well... he had received extra punishnt. Noah looked at her with eyes as if this was so kind of injustice.
He didn’t mind getting punished. But... With a dissatisfied expression, he spoke.
"What about them? They also fought back. They even insulted !"
Morgana looked at him calmly, then replied with a cold expression.
"Hah... in that case it was self-defense. Also, those three look more hurt compared to you. And even if they insulted you... you could have used another way. Soon you guys could challenge each other for sparring. You could have done that... and taken your anger out on them."
Then she looked at him with a stern gaze.
"But no... you just tried to beat them like a delinquent student."
Then she turned her gaze toward Edward and the others.
With a warning look, she said,
"Also, you three... don’t bother my student again or go around insulting others. If I find out about it next ti... you won’t leave without punishnt like today."
"""Yes Ma’am!""" the trio replied again in unison.
"Tch!" Noah clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Ria simply shook her head tiredly.
"Now you guys are dismissed. Go away!" Morgana said with an irritated voice.
Noah didn’t wait and imdiately left the cabin, followed by the trio.
Only Ria and Morgana remained inside the cabin.
Ria crossed her arms and spoke with a slightly worried smile.
"Instructor Morgana... you really got a troubleso student. Noah Eldritch is known for that, after all."
Morgana shook her head slowly, then sighed.
"I don’t think so... well, I hope he won’t..."
Then her expression turned firm.
"...but if he continues to cause trouble, I will be sure to teach him a lesson. Under my instruction, he will change for sure."
This ti her expression was full of confidence.
Ria raised her brow in amusent.
"If you say so, Instructor Morgana."
Then she bowed slightly.
"Well, I will go now."
She left the cabin, leaving Morgana alone inside.

Since it was the first day, there were not many lectures.
Though Morgana was the head instructor of their class, it didn’t an she taught everything. A few classes were handled by other instructors.
Subjects such as alchemy, history, and mana theory were taught by different instructors.
Currently, Noah was inside a washroom, cleaning its floor with a broom.
With an annoyed expression, he muttered,
"Tch! This world is so advanced and has so many types of magic. Yet they gave a broom to clean this shit!"
He was still annoyed about what had happened today.
He didn’t visit the infirmary since he had hardly received any strong hits or serious wounds.
"Hmm~ hm~" Noah started humming while cleaning.
Nothing would change even after complaining now.
’There are so many beautiful girls here. My friends always used to tease for being single in university... Though I never wished to be in a relationship. But man, seeing such beautiful ladies sure makes my heart beat faster and makes want to have one.’
Once again, he was thinking about nonsense things.
Rather than thinking about survival in this world, he was wondering whether getting into a relationship was a good idea or not.
’Then there’s Ophelia...another big problem...’
He stopped sweeping as he thought of her. But not for long. With an indifferent shrug, he muttered,
"h... I will see how it goes with her."
After a while, the last washroom was finally cleaned. He picked up the broom and the bucket of water.
He stepped out of the washroom. Only to collide with soone.
"What?!" Noah exclaid in surprise.
What ca into his view was short, neck-length black hair.
"Sorry!" the person who had bumped into him quickly said.
It was a woman. She hadn’t been moving too fast, so neither of them fell. She stepped back slightly and bowed while apologizing.
She wore large round glasses over her black eyes.
Her features were normal.
She had a delicate, cute nose. Below it were soft, plump rosy lips. Her skin was smooth and fair.
Her figure was slender, with a cute face. Her height was around 167 cm. She was not as beautiful as the female leads of the ga, but she was still cute.
Noah remained silent for a mont, then nodded calmly.
"No worries. You were not at fault."
She nodded, but then looked at him with slight confusion.
Noah noticed her expression.
"Is there sothing you want to talk about?" he asked.
She hesitated for a mont, then spoke cautiously. "Why did you co out of the... female washroom?"
Noah blinked.
He imdiately understood why she looked confused... or maybe suspicious.
He raised the broom slightly and showed it to her.
"Can you see this? I was cleaning the washroom."
Then he turned around and showed her the sign hanging on the door that read Closed for Cleaning.
But hearing him only made her look even more confused.
With a puzzled expression, she said,
"But why were you cleaning it? Isn’t there staff for doing this? Also, they have better machines which help them clean it easily instead of using a broom."
Hearing that only made Noah more irritated.
His lips twitched.
’It seems the news about getting punished on the first day didn’t spread... well, I guess it’s not that big of a deal to spread like rumors. Nor am I so big shot.’
Looking at her face, he forced a gentle smile.
"Well... I was punished by Instructor Morgana."
Her eyes widened in surprise.
"So that’s why you are here. What did you do to get punished?"
Noah scratched his cheek awkwardly and smiled worriedly.
"I kind of... fought against three students from another class."
Her expression imdiately turned serious.
"Why did you do that? Don’t you know it’s wrong to fight unofficially, especially on campus?"
Noah shrugged casually.
"They insulted ... so I got angry and did it. Haha."
He chuckled awkwardly at his own words.
She sighed with a slightly disapproving look.
"You are already causing trouble on the first day."
Noah simply replied with a helpless expression.
"As I said, they mocked and insulted . So that’s why I did that."
She raised her hands slightly as if ending the topic.
"Okay, okay! Let it go now. Don’t fight again. By the way, what’s your na?"
Noah answered calmly.
"...It’s Noah."
Her eyes widened again.
"You... You are Noah Eldritch?"
Noah looked at her curiously.
"Yeah, I am. Is there any problem with that? And what’s your na?"
She quickly waved her hands and shook her head nervously.
"No! No! There’s none. Haha... I am Mary."
Noah nodded.
"Ohh... I heard your na during attendance. No wonder I felt like I had seen you sowhere."
She scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"Yeah... in my case, I didn’t pay attention to other students... so I didn’t know you were Noah. I will go to the washroom now. Bye!"
She quickly walked past Noah and entered the washroom.
Noah looked at the door with a puzzled expression.
"...Why did she look nervous after hearing my na?"
He already knew the answer.
"Whatever..."
He walked through the hallway to return the broom.
---
It was already evening.
Noah was late because of the cleaning punishnt.
Now it was ti for him to return to his dormitory room.
He had wanted to train for a while, but that ti had been wasted on cleaning.
While walking through the campus toward the dormitory building area, Noah noticed soone walking ahead of him.
’Damien...also...Leonard and others.’
It was the protagonist of the ga. While beside him were Leonard, Emma and Lyria.
Noah stared at his back for a few seconds. Just when he was about to look away. Damien suddenly turned back.His eyes t Noah’s directly.
