“Hey, you there I’d like to have a word with you!” “...” “You are intruding on the personal space of this student, Increased heart rate has been noted, stress levels are increasing, please refrain from approaching this student.” “Huh? What is this metal spider?” “Please back away, this is a warning, if you don’t this unit will contact a faculty member and you will be restrained.” A small spider golem attracted attention by causing a scene. It faced off against a group of three…-

‘They seem a bit confused, I should probably bring out the visual aids.’ Roland was aware that his approach might face resistance from the scholarly mindset prevalent in this world, where learning predominantly involved books, and practical lessons were often limited to monster hunting and dungeon exploration. However, he favored a more hands-on approach to education, and opted to challenge the students with a puzzle. It would give their minds something new to tackle and perhaps allow some to see…

‘This was quite a day… Now what? Where do I even begin?" Roland asked himself after leaving Thorne’s office. The hearing was over, and he had given his sister the small spider golem to keep her safe. Everything seemed to have finally calmed down, but he was not making any significant progress in his research. Then there was the Headmistress who gave him some strange research papers, implying that what he was searching for was within a person's soul and not just mana, something that he had no idea…

“The Headmistress wants to see me?” “Apparently so, I’m just as surprised as you but this just shows how impactful this incident really was. I’ll give you some advice, don’t let the Headmistress wait, she is a very busy person…” “Alright, I'll go see her then…but first…” “Yes?” “Where can I find her?” “Ah, I almost forgot, you’re still new here. The Headmistress's office is located in the Central Mage Tower.” “Central Mage Tower? Was there such a…

“Lucienne! What happened, you were gone for a whole day! The teachers wouldn’t tell me where you were!” “Margaret, please calm down, I can’t breathe…” “Oh my, silly me~” Margaret released Lucienne from her tight embrace, her eyes filled with genuine concern. Lucienne, although slightly annoyed by the suffocating hug, couldn't help but appreciate Margaret's genuine worry. The other two girls in the room moved closer as they were quite curious as to where their friend had wandered off…

Roland paced nervously in the hallway, his mind racing with thoughts about what might happen next. The outcome of the hearing could have far-reaching consequences not only for Viola but also for Lucienne and even Roland himself. The mages inside were deliberating, and the tension hung in the air. “Are they still in there? It's been an hour already. They must really not be sure about what to do if it's taken this long.” Arion joined him outside; though not a part of the judges, he could sense that…

“What are you waiting for, get over here!” Viola's eyes blazed with fury as she stormed towards Lucienne. The imposing figure of her Baskerville Knight loomed beside her, ready to enforce her will. The other students and enforcers in the hallway instinctively moved aside, creating a path for the impending clash. “...” “Did you really think you could escape the consequences, Lucienne?” Viola sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “I'll make sure you regret ever crossing me and the…

“Hey, have you heard?” “No, did something happen?” “Indeed, the Lady from the Castellane household didn’t return to her dorm room, everyone has been talking about it!” “She hasn’t returned? Did she elope with one of the seniors and run away?” The news of Viola Castellane's disappearance spread like wildfire among the students of the Institute. Rumors and speculations flourished, filling the air with hushed conversations in corridors and dormitories. While the official stance from…

‘I went and did it … Well, no use crying over spilled milk now; I’ll have to take responsibility for my own actions.’ Roland thought to himself while looking at the mostly terrified students before him. After showing the passed-out half-elven magic swordsman, they quickly changed their tune. Their ringleader, Viola, had passed out, and the two other ladies were trying to wake her up. It also seemed that the girl had managed to soil herself during the commotion. He might have overdone it with the…

“It went better than expected, but the damage to this place… They aren’t going to complain about it, right?” As Roland approached the fallen Magic Swordmaster, he noticed that the once thick forest now bore the scars of their intense battle. Broken branches and scattered debris were everywhere around, and the artificial moonlight seemed to cast an eerie glow over the aftermath. He took a moment to catch his breath and survey the area before turning his attention to the matter at hand. He assessed…
