“I’m sorry, everyone. Could you please open and close the door one by one?”
 
When I asked, everyone looked at each other, but soon Strauss grasped the door handle.
 
Immediately, the door was enveloped in a faint light, starting from the handle.
 
“Wh-What is this…?”
 
To the surprised Strauss, I nodded and answered.
 
“This door won’t open unless you have enough magical power to comfortably use advanced magic. The mechanism is simple.… Read more

 
“…Well, that’s all for today. Until next time, please don’t use today’s magic individually. As you understand, there’s a risk of it going out of control. So, until I judge it safe, its use outside of class is prohibited… That includes you, Headmaster Glen.”
 
As I said this, glaring out the window, Headmaster Glen, who was excited by the discharge, hurriedly nodded.
 
He’s making a circle with one hand and smiling apologetically outside the window, but it’s suspicious.… Read more

Chapter 10: Change
 

 
In the next class, Foar was again the first to wait in the classroom.
 
It seemed the students and Eliza’s group had grown accustomed to Foar’s presence. They took their seats while discussing and chatting with those nearby.
 
Hmm, I couldn’t see Headmaster Glen. Was he not here today? I thought he was aiming for perfect attendance… Oh, there he is. He’s moved outside the window in front. The students have noticed but are pretending not to see him.… Read more

 
“…Are you participating too, Speyside?”
 
When I asked, Speyside uncomfortably averted his gaze and pointed out the window.
 
“…The Principal is also observing, so I thought I’d see what it’s like…”
 
Surprised by his words, I turned my face towards the window and saw Principal Glen quickly ducking out of sight.
 
Ridiculous. The Principal, true to his title, is the most skilled magician in the academy. And he’s here to observe?… Read more

Chapter 9: Foar-Perno-Roses
 

I peek into the classroom from the hallway during a lesson.
 
It’s fortunate that today happens to be one of Foar’s weekly classes.
 
Incidentally, since it’s a valuable advanced instructor’s class, most of the participating students seem to be older ones from the high school division.
 
He appears to be teaching water magic, but the content isn’t too difficult. Probably, he’ll teach more advanced applications based on today’s lesson in the future.… Read more

 
While Court and the others couldn’t hide their surprise at Strauss’s frontal assault, Balvenie himself looked at me with a question mark.
 
“New teacher? She doesn’t look like a beastman, maybe the fourth or fifth daughter of a baron?”
 
He gave a rough guess. As I furrowed my brow at this, Strauss said “No,” denying Balvenie’s words.
 
“Aoi isn’t a noble. I thought it was well-known, but you don’t know? She’s a commoner, but was hired as a senior instructor, which is quite unusual.”… Read more

“It seems suspicious,”
 
I reported, and Eliza and Strauss, who were having lunch with me, exchanged glances.
 
Now that I think about it, Court’s behavior and words were out of character for him. Could it be that he was trying to avoid my questioning…?
 
As I pondered this, Strauss opened his mouth, exasperatedly scratching his head with one hand.
 
“No, you’re probably just imagining things.”
 
Looking up at Strauss who gave such a response, I saw Eliza smile apologetically and start to explain.… Read more

Chapter 8: Investigation
 

It seemed that classes were held at fairly consistent times for everyone, and this week followed the same schedule as before.
 
Although I haven’t been working much, I’ll make up for it by conducting research and submitting results to the academy. It would be a shame not to use the research lab I’ve been assigned. However, to return to Japan, I need to gain new knowledge and experiment, so that will have to wait for another opportunity.… Read more

 
“Hm? Felter?”
 
“Yeah.”
 
As I read the name and tilted my head, Felter appeared, opening the door. While I blinked in surprise, Felter boldly walked past me and sat in the front row by the window.
 
“…This isn’t just about physical enhancement, you know?”
 
“I know.”
 
Felter snorted in response to my words. His attitude was brazen, but somewhat cute. Perhaps this was Felter’s true self, befitting his age.
 
I could feel the tension in my shoulders easing.… Read more

Chapter 7: Bad Rumors?
 

 
A month had passed since I came to the academy.
 
Having attended most of the classes and observed various teachers’ methods, I was told it might be time for me to try teaching on my own.
 
“Would you prefer something practical? Or should we focus on magical concepts and knowledge?”
 
When I asked this, Glen pondered.
 
His face contorted as if he had tasted dried plums for the first time, and finally he replied.… Read more
