"It's been a while, Teacher Jeeves," Guy commented casually while his attention was rapt on a container of lye solution. He was with his two students: Jean and Dora, in the clearing outside the orphanage. "Don't get me started," Al groaned. "The sabbatical I applied for was denied because apparently, I 'was not involved in teaching or instructional activities in any way to warrant a sabbatical'. Kaist tore the application in front of me to boot. So I had to run a few lectures to appease the…-

"Congratulations!" Krish offered. "Yeah, no thanks to you..." Marie muttered in response. "What was that?" Krish retorted with stern disbelief. "No thanks to you!" Marie reiterated with an equally stern and accusatory gaze. "Look, I offered to teach you," Krish confessed. "It's not my fault that you decided to look elsewhere." "You don't even try," Marie responded with a dejected frown. "The least you could have done was entertaining a discussion and brainstorming with me. Are you so unwilling to…

I use LaTeX conventions to define the mathematic formulae here. It may not make sense on your mobile device or computer. You can find the properly formatted derivation at the Discord Server. ____ Rome wasn't built in a day. Guy recognised that building up to the topics of Fourier Series and Transforms would take quite a bit of time, even with Marie's enthusiasm and receptivity to the rather arcane mathematical concepts leading up to it. All that said, Guy had seriously underestimated Marie's aptitude.…

You can find the properly formatted derivation at the Discord Server ( https://discord.gg/PKbqtembQJ ) ____ "You think of me too highly, Marie," Guy said while shaking his head with a cynical smile. "How do I help you if I can't even see these waves of fate?" "I just need an idea. An inspiration. A direction. Anything," Marie emphasised. "Anything at all." Guy released an…

When Marie returned to the orphanage, she was immediately attacked by Grace and pulled into an emotional embrace. Through her sobs and muffled whimpers, Marie realised the extent of the damage her haphazard actions had caused to those around her. "I am putting my foot down! No more of this, Marie!" Grace demanded. "That's not going to stop her, Grace," Guy interjected as he carefully pulled Grace off of Marie. "So you're just going to let her go through with this?" Grace exclaimed. "She was out for two…

Marie's life was fairly monotonous since that day. Every morning, she would venture into her Master's cottage and exert her mana sense to observe the waves of fate around her. She was warned earlier that doing so outside the cottage would result in a fierce backlash, and that she had to practice to control it under a thoroughly controlled environment. The plan was to incrementally loosen the stringency of the isolating ritual lined along the cottage walls to raise Marie's resistance organically. This…

Krish gently waved his free hand, casting a spell circle centred on Marie's head. Through Guy's mana sense, he observed imperceptible changes occurring on her riddled brain, slowly bringing it back to a rosy, healthy state. Right as the spell circle subsided, Krish tapped his walking stick on the floor, causing Marie to rise and levitate in mid-air. He turned around and started to hobble away, but was immediately stopped by Grace's bellowing voice. "Where are you taking her?!" Krish turned and faced the…

Guy was having some trouble in figuring out what exactly to "show" Marie through The Church's |Soul Imprint| functionality. In the previous demonstrations with his Student and Disciple, the task was much easier because he simply had to emulate the scenarios based on how they were perceived by the senses. What did the eyes see, what did the ears hear, what did the skin feel, what did the nose smell? These were easy questions to answer. But, that was also where the problem lied. His task right now was to…

"Umm," Marie vocalised while twiddling her fingers embarrassedly. "I-I didn't..." "It's fine," Guy said with a light cough. "I understand. You were just excited - no harm done." "No, I mean-" Marie tried. "I wasn't..." "Look, Marie, there are at least five years between us. I'm as old as Grace. It's fine," Guy continued his explanation with a warm smile. Marie eyed Guy's expressions carefully and sighed in relief upon realising that her hasty and impulsive actions weren't misconstrued. She too was…
