Trantor: The Light
Edits by Grandia
One of the Magical faculty’s ssrooms within the Trivican National Imperial Regiment Library, located within the Euphemia Imperial Academy on the western campus of Olsylvia Academy. The ssroom had been peaceful until a beautiful teacher barged in and interrupted the ss, causing the lesson to pause midway. The teacher, the fire type Magic Mentor Galeb, walked over to converse with the beautiful female teacher with a smile on his face.
The interdimensional type Supreme Magic Mentor Catalina was one of the Temple Masters of the Aldridge Empire’s pce. This position was simr to a State Advisor. Catalina was the Chief President Angelina’s mentor, as well as the close friend of Be’s teacher, the Knight Faculty’s beautiful Dragon Knight, Ingrid.
Like Ingrid, Catalina was tall and slender. Furthermore, thebination of her ample chest, luscious pink hair, light red irises, and her serious and reserved demeanor was perfect for her status as a teacher. Catalina and Ingrid were the same age as well. However, because of her hair color, most people thought that Catalina was the fire type Mage instead.
In fact, Catalina knew fire type magic as well. Other than interdimensional type magic, she was skilled in fire, water, and thunder type magic too. Other than the chaos type Supreme Magic Mentor Melvira who was one year her senior, none of the teachers of Olsylvia Academy’s magical faculty would be a match for her in a fight.
Catalina was not the assigned teacher for this ss at all. However, her close friend, Ingrid, had spoken to her at the teacher’s cafeteria earlier. She told Catalina about Be, her student who had just transferred to the magical facility, and advised her not to get too close to her. Even though Ingrid did this out of goodwill, Be, that troublemaker, did not disappoint and “pushed” her teacher. Because of this, whenever she had the time, Be would look for Teacher Ingridte at night for “extra credit”. Every time this happened, Ingrid would be so tired that shey on the bed, too exhausted to move. She could barely get out of bed the next morning.
Unfortunately, Ingrid’s good intentions backfired. As a Supreme Magic Mentor, her pride and ego wasparable to the Dragon Knight. When she heard that the girl was special, Catalina managed to keep a straight face when in reality, she wanted to know who this Be really was.
Be had no idea that Catalina was here mainly for her. This gorgeous female teacher was wearing the standard Mage’s robes. It was a shame as those robes were extremely conservative and covered most of her body. This was unlike Ingrid, who was wearing ck silk as per Be’s demands after she had been “pushed”.
“Alright, Master Galeb, you can take a break! I will rece you for this lesson and exin everything to the principalter.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Master Catalina. I shall take my leave.”
Be had thought that once Catalina took over the ss, she would take the ss in hand. However, Be was too naive. Catalina did not stop those girls at all. She was one of those teachers who did not talk much and simply wrote the magical theories on the ckboard.
This was not entirely Catalina’s fault. Back then, when she was still a student at the Magical faculty, she was just like those girls in the ssroom. In fact, she was much worse as she would often skip ss with her senior, Melvira. She had only said those things to get rid of Master Galeb. Basically, Catalina’s main purpose was to take a look at the problem student that her close friend, Ingrid, had talked about. She wanted to know what was so special about that “bad student” who gave Teacher Ingrid such a huge headache.
However, she was rather disappointed. Be did not seem like she was special at all as she did not behave any different from the other girls in ss. As Catalina was around, Princess Effie and Princess Eveny, who had been fooling around in ss, had toned down a fair bit and stopped theirscivious acts. Although they were princesses of the empire, Catalina was someone they knew quite well and they were a little embarrassed to do unusual things in front of her.
Before she knew it, ss had already ended. Be felt as though time had passed much faster with a beautiful Mage as their teacher. However, she did not understand anything at all. Once the bell rang, a few of the girls left the ssroom to use the bathroom. However, most of them remained behind to continue their previous entertainment.
“You’re Grand Duchess Baize, right? Should I address you as such, or Grand Duchess Bellina?”
“Ah, Teacher Catalina, you can simply call me Be, like Teacher Ingrid. Those two other names with tiles are just unnecessary.”
After ss, Be had nned to have a little chat with some of her close friends. She did not expect Teacher Catalina to seek her out directly. Her friends noticed that the teacher had her eye on Be and had no choice but to head back to their seats. Catalina looked curiously at Be as she tried to figure out what was so special about this blonde haired beauty.
“Be, if you really can’t do magic, I would suggest that you do note back to the Magical faculty’s ssroom anymore! I can’t do anything about the empire’s request, but over here at the academy, I call the shots.”
“No, I refuse, Teacher Catalina. You can’t decide which studentse and go like this! I’m going to speak to Teacher Ingrid about this.”
“Hold on... you really can do magic? As far as I know, Princess Lisha is the only one in the Knight faculty who could do magic. Is it true that you, a Holy Knight, can do magic as well?”
“Guess! I will not lie to a teacher. Since you do not believe me, I think I should go have a good chat with Teacher Ingrid!”
It did not really matter to Be if she attended the Magical faculty’s sses at all as she was not a Mage by profession. However, the quality of the girls here at the Magical faculty was significantly higher than those from the Knight faculty. Furthermore, this was the first time she had ever seen some of these girls before! Previously, when she was on a mission at Angus City, the girls from the Magical faculty who had anything to do with Be were all from the ss next door, along with Chief Student Union President Angelia. It would be a pity if she missed out on the girls in this ss.
At that moment, Catalina hesitated. Although Be did not have much power in the academy, she was still the Grand Duchess of two separate duchies. This meant that she held quite a fair bit of power outside of the academy. If Be said anything about this to the academy, the higher-ups might interfere. Furthermore, Catalina had taken things into her own hands and had made the decision to take over the ss all on her own without seeking the permission of her superiors.
Upon seeing that Be was about to walk out of the ssroom, Catalina quickly reached out and grabbed hold of Be’s hand. After all, she was close friends with the Dragon Knight Ingrid. Although Ingrid had warned her not to get too close to Be, her voice held a note of concern for the girl. There was no way she could bully her close friend’s student.
“Alright, we have a practical lesson next. If you can prove that you are able to do magic, I will take back my earlier decision!”
“No way, Teacher Catalina. If I’m able to prove myself, you have to make me the monitor of this ss.”
“What kind of request is this? The current ss monitor, Eveny, is a princess of the empire. Even if she was willing to give up her position, President Lucia or Princess Effie would be the most qualified to take over. There is no way they would agree either.”
“Well, you do not have to worry about that. I have my ways!”
Be ignored Catalina’s warnings. In her mind, those girls were all her close friends and they would never stop her from iming the position as ss monitor. Catalina’s confidence began to waver when she saw the self-assured look on Be’s face. Now, she was starting to worry.
Initially, Catalina expected that even if Be could prove that she could do a little magic, the other girls would never agree to her insane request.Now, it seemed as though she was wrong. Princess Eveny and Princess Effie both looked at Be with a gentle expression and it was obvious that they knew each other very well. In addition, President Lucia did not say anything about it either which technically meant that she agreed to Be’s bold request.
The Magical faculty’s practical lessons were held at specific locations across Olsylvia City with a strong demonic presence. As this ss was not mandatory, most of the Magical faculty’s female students would not attend it. However, as Be had bet against Teacher Catalina for the position of ss monitor, the female students had turned up in anticipation of something exciting. For the first time, the Magical faculty’s practical ss had the full attendance of all the female students, which could be considered a good thing.
The Magical faculty were split into three different sses. ss One was the one that Be was currently in. For some reason, she could not remember who the form teacher was supposed to be. Right now, she had her target set on the interdimensional type Supreme Magic Mentor Catalina to be the new form teacher of the ss. Since this gorgeous teacher hade her way of her own ord, she might as well remain behind and take up the role as form teacher.
Next door, the chaos type Supreme Magic Mentor Melvira was the form teacher in charge of ss Two. If Be had left together with the Puppet Master ine, she would have had the good fortune of meeting this beautiful teacher. Be had already met most of the female students in ss Two as they had gone on the investigative mission at Angus City with Chief President Angelia.
As for ss Three, Be was not interested in them at all. This was the Magical faculty’s expansion ss, which was simr to a special admissions ss that specifically took in wealthy students. Many of those young men and women were from wealthy families and did not have any talent in magic. As they wanted to be a Mage for the sake of keeping up appearances, their families paid high prices for them to attend this special admissions ss instead.
Each student in this special admission ss had to pay an exorbitant amount of one hundred thousand gold coins in fees per academic year. These students were guaranteed to graduate as a junior level mage. For many of them, they only had the ability to be magical apprentices who could conjure little fireballs. To be honest, it was a bit of a stretch to even allow them to be junior level mages. Based on what Be knew, many members of the Golden Legend Society had obtained their credentials from the Magical faculty’s ss Three. The number of students in this ss was much more than sses One and Twobined, which proved that this world was notcking in tycoons at all.
The Great Magister Ondo was the form teacher of the Magical faculty’s ss Three. He was handsome and adies man, which meant that he was often the main subject of scandal. Recently, it was rumored that he was courting Teacher Catalina. She was not interested in him at all and constantly rejected him. However, Ondo’s endless pestering was causing her to feel rather troubled.
This time, the practical lesson was set to be held in the Forest of Needham Lake, which was a hotbed of water and wood type demonic beasts. Their previous lesson was on fire type magic and students were required to apply it during the practical lessons. The type of demonic beasts used in practicals had to be a mixture that consisted of those that were susceptible to a particr type of magic as well as those that would not be affected by that magic.
Fire type magic’s weakness was water type magic and it was extremely effective against wood type magic. Without a doubt, the Forest of Needham Lake was the perfect location for this practical lesson. The demonic beasts that lived here mostly consisted of water type demonic beasts, the E Grade Giant Crab and the F Grade Parasitic Shell Crab, as well as wood type demonic beasts, the D Grade Tree of Deception and the E Grade Walking Sunflowers.
The wood type demonic beasts were practically useless against fire type magic. A single fireball was enough to destroy them in seconds. On the other hand, the Giant Crabs and Parasitic Shell Crabs were more troublesome to handle. Those two water type demonic beasts had a tough outer shell and theirbat abilities were already beyond their current grade.
The only reason why those two demonic beasts had a lower grade was because they would not attack unless provoked and would not actively attack outsiders. The main purpose of this practical lesson was to use fire type magic against these water type demonic beasts. The students would only gain points if they caused damage.
Be felt as though she had fallen into a trap. These rules had been made specifically for students. Catalina knew thunder type magic and would be able to take out every single water type demonic beast with a single lightning ball. Even if Be were to conjure up fireballs, it would be extremely difficult to cause any damage to the Giant Crabs and Parasitic Shell Crabs at all.
When the girls from the Magical faculty’s ss One arrived at Needham Lake, they realized that the area had been taken over by the students from ss Three. Arge group of young masters and young mistresses dressed in elegant clothes were lounging by the banks of theke. The dead bodies of many Giant Crabs and Parasitic Shell Crabs littered the area. Of course, the young masters and mistresses did not have to lift a single finger as their bodyguards would take care of everything.
“What is going on, I thought that ss One had reserved the next period for their practical lesson?”
“Teacher Catalina, you’re here. Didn’t the school transfer you to teach ss Three? Why are you with ss One instead? You’re not their form teacher!”
“Well...”
On the banks of Needham Lake, a handsome man with short blonde hair stood in Catalina’s path. Although the Great Magister Ondo was not as powerful as Catalina, his father was a prince of the Aldridge Empire and his family was extremely influential. Like the beautiful Dragon Knight Ingrid, Teacher Catalina was extremely powerful in her own right. However, their families were insignificant. In front of someone like Ondo, they had no choice but to appear more submissive.
Be had been annoyed by this handsome man for a long time. His eyes constantly roamed hungrily up and down the bodies of Be’s close friends. Unlike the other girls who were wearing warm long undergarments, her close friends were wearing normal undergarments, which was a sight to behold. As that fellow continued to stare at the girls’ chests, Be grew even more unhappy. She needed to teach him a lesson.
As Princess Effie and Princess Eveny were present, Ondo only dared to look. However, it was not convenient for the princesses to interfere in Ondo’s matters at all. Although they did not really like that teacher, they were still within the academy and it would not do for them to interfere in their teacher’s private matters.
“O... Teacher O...something, I think you might be mistaken! Teacher Catalina is our form teacher, with effect from today!”
“Youngdy, you’re the one who’s mistaken! The order for Teacher Catalina’s transfer had already been sent out.”
“I don’t believe you. Unless... unless you show me proof...”
Be ran up to Teacher Catalina and grabbed her hand,pletely ignoring Ondo’s warning undertones. After all, she was not a good student. She was a “problem student”. This was not the first time she was confronting a teacher. Thest time she did it, she had taught a junior level Knight teacher a lesson for picking on Lisha.
Ondo bit back his anger and cracked a forced smile. He did not know who Be was. Generally, he knew all the girls from the Magical faculty’s ss One. This meant that the little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes standing in front of him was a transfer student and was not aware of his tricks. Unless they had an extremely powerful background, any girl who dared to stand up to him had all been trained into “perfect submission”.
As a prince, Ondo was arrogant, and did not really care that the Empire’s Grand Duchess Baize had recently transferred into the Magical faculty. As she had only gained her title through a transaction, to him, the Grand Duchess Baize was nothingpared to his noble bloodlines. Therefore, he did not make the connection that Be could have been the Grand Duchess Baize.
Ondo knew that this was not the time to fall out with Be. After much deliberation, he prepared to retrieve the order for Be. While he was looking for the order, Be had taken the opportunity to escape with Teacher Catalina. She was not willing to wait around to see some official documents as those decisions could easily be reversedter. By the time Ondo found the document, the female students from ss One had already disappeared into the Forest of Needham Lake.
“Hmph, they actually escaped. It seems like that girl needs some special tutoring...”
As Ondo looked out at the ss One’s students in the distance, his eyes shed momentarily with a hint of menace. His magic was special. Furthermore, a ce like this with minimal human traffic would be the perfect location to do whatever he wanted.
“Be, why did you...”
“That male teacher irks me. Furthermore, he does not seem like a good teacher at all.”
“Be, it would be really bad if you offended Ondo. He...”
After a moment of hesitation, she told Be everything she knew. That Ondo was a Great Magister of psychological type magic. Other than using magical psychological attacks, he was rumored to be well-versed in the legendary forbidden magic of hypnotism. The Magical faculty’s special admissions ss was infamous for students who did not listen to the teachers at all. The past few form teachers had been driven away by their troublemaking ways.
However, when Ondo took over as ss Three’s form teacher, the misbehaving students suddenly became extremely obedient. In fact, they were so obedient that each month, every student would give Ondo many valuable gifts. Be immediately could tell that Ondo was one of the “hidden gentry”. If something as useful formitting lewd acts as hypnotic magic fell into Be’s hands, she would have done the same thing.
“It’s fine, Teacher Catalina. Technically, that teacher and I could be considered to be the same type... don’t worry about this. Instead, you should really think about where we should go for our practical lesson now!”
