Chapter 73: Vol2 Ch25 – Scholarships (1)

An hour or so after Michelle cried herself to sleep, she stirred again. Kye was prepared to wake her if she had taken too much longer since they had school. The three quickly bathed and got ready for class.

Their third class of the day was a science class, specifically astrophysics. Kye was quite bored since she had yet to learn a single thing she didn’t already know in any of her academic classes. Considering her wealth of knowledge, it wasn’t likely they could teach her academically, but the fact that she was an immortal was not public knowledge.

“And so, while we have a great number of inhabited planets orbiting our own Avalon Galaxy’s-”

Wasn’t Avalon one of the flying islands in ancient Atlantis?

“-supermassive black hole, Avalon Alpha, we do not yet know what is within the depths of a black hole.”

I wonder how close those planets are to the black hole. Too close and time dilation gets pretty extreme.

“It is well known that the gravity of a black hole is powerful enough to trap light.”

The hole in spacetime around a black hole is quite deep, yes.

“Even the most powerful royals in the empire cannot yet cast gravity magic that can compare to the natural gravity of a black hole.”

That’s because you have no understanding of what a black hole really is. I almost want to explain it, but that would just cause me grief afterward. “Kye, how do you know?” “I don’t believe you.” Ugh, just imagining the responses gives me a headache.

“Miss Kye, are you paying attention?” the instructor asked. “You seem to be bored. Perhaps my class isn’t stimulating enough for you?”

What the hell...?

“Yes, I’m paying attention, and do you really want me to respond to the second question? That hardly seems appro-”

“By all means, go ahead and answer. I’ve noticed-”

If you want me to answer, don’t interrupt me.

“-you seem bored in every class of mine that you’ve taken. I’d like an answer.”

Because sitting through classes I have no need of is boring. I’m literally just sitting here until there’s something to do that’s gradable, then I do that something and get a perfect score. There’s a reason I have perfect grades in every year.

Kye snapped her fingers, and an overlay of mana appeared at the front of the class over the wall. The mana formed letters, and it spelled out every word the instructor had spoken since class began. “There’s the proof that I’m paying attention. As for whether I’m bored, that hardly matters. But if you must know, yes, I am bored.” I probably shouldn’t be honest about why he might get angrier. “Academic classes in general are boring to me. I’m not particularly fond of sitting at a desk doing proverbial paperwork. I’m more of a hands-on girl.”

“If our academy’s classes are so boring, perhaps you would do better at another institution.”

Do you not realize you’re speaking to the top student in the academy?

The class gasped. Even the commoners were shocked at the instructor’s comment.

Kye sighed. “Just get back to your lecture.”

“I would rather not lecture a bored student such as yourself.”

For crying out loud...

“Instructor Hansen, this really isn’t appropriate,” said Alaira Marshall.

Thank you, Lara.

“What isn’t appropriate is me wasting my time teaching a student that clearly has no interest in learning.”

If anything, you are a waste of our time. Should I just start lecturing where he left off? That’d at least not be boring.

Kye noticed Liliana’s eye twitch. She expected the same out of Aliana, who was sitting behind her where she couldn’t see.

Uh oh. If I don’t do something, this teacher is gonna get himself hurt.

Kye sighed and stood up. “Fine, I’ll leave. I would appreciate if you don’t hinder the learning experience of the others, so if my absence is necessary for that, then so be it. However, I suggest you do not manipulate my grades to reflect your opinion.”

There will be hell to pay if I suddenly have even a 99%.

“It is my prerogative to grade as severely as I please in my class.”

This guy is an idiot.

“You are absolutely correct, within academy policy. Since you’ve clearly forgotten, I’d like to remind you students are not permitted to manipulate mana or cast magic within academic hours.” She pointed at the overlay of mana she had created that still lingered. She walked out of the door, leaving the instructor and class speechless.

“But she just-”

Before the Instructor Hansen could even finish his sentence, Kye came back in. “Hi, Instructor Hansen, since I had nothing better to do, I decided to drop in and conduct a surprise observation of Class 12002-S this period! I’m Instructor Akari, and I am this class’s mana instructor.”

Pfft.

With Instructor Hansen and most of the class frozen in shock, Kye transformed the desk she was just using into just a chair and sat at the front of the room where she could more easily observe.

“My apologies for the interruption, please carry on, Instructor Hansen.”

Let’s see how he handles this.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Alaira and most other royals burst out laughing. “Holy shit, Kye, I can’t believe you actually did that.”

Heh.

“Hmm? What’s that, Lady Alaira?”

“Pfft.”

Soon, the entire class was laughing. The dumbfounded instructor just stood there with his jaw dropped, unable to look away from Kye.

See that, Hansen? See how stupid the class thinks this whole situation is?

“Is there a problem, Instructor Hansen? Do you perhaps need to visit the infirmary to have your enlarged ego checked? Maybe we need to schedule an evaluation to see if you are still qualified to teach here... in the Alcanus Royal Academy... the most prestigious school in the Atlantis Empire... that is ruled by Empress Atalante Atlantis... who is the mother of Alethea Atlantis... my wife.” Kye glared at Hansen. “Not-so-indirect insults aside, would you like to tell me what your problem is? I really don’t enjoy pulling crap like this, but I’m also not about to sit back and allow your negligence.”

Let’s see if we can actually figure this out...

She waited for Hansen to respond for about twenty seconds.

Guess not.

“Either start explaining your issues or start explaining your lesson. If you stay quiet,” she started channeling white aether to prepare teleportation magic, “the two of us will go have a chat with the principal. Or better yet, let’s do this...” Kye flared her aether briefly, and soon Allison appeared in the room. Kye quickly explained the basics, then casted memory magic to show Allison her own point-of-view, thoughts included.

“Is that right?” Allison eyed the teacher.

“Dumb, isn’t it?” Kye shrugged.

Allison was fed up long before Kye finished the memory magic. “Instructor Hansen, I’m not known for my patience. I have no interest in your excuses, only in your job performance. Your conduct is unacceptable. Your classes for today are now canceled. I’ll assign a substitute to handle your class starting tomorrow. I’m sending you back to the university. You are hereby stripped of your instructor status until you pass the Instructor Etiquette course again. You’ll also attend a general etiquette course in the city and relearn how to interact with a royal since you’ve clearly forgotten that all students are equals in the academy... and if all students are equals, what does that make them? The obviously answer is to treat them as royals. You will not step foot in the academy again until those tasks are complete. Leave now.”

That afternoon, Kye was teaching her own classes. She was in the middle of teaching her classmates when Luma showed up. “Oh, my apologies, I came too early.”

“Huh? Yeah, sorry, is it important?”

“Not time sensitive. I can wait until you’re done with class.”

“Sure.”

Kye turned back to her class and began her lesson plan, but the students started asking about Luma.

Kye sighed and just made the best of it. “Alright, you know what? Luma, you’re my aide for this afternoon.”

“Huh? I mean, sure. What do you need me to do?”

“Channel a bunch of mana. I’m gonna have them try to measure your output.”

Luma nodded and did so. “This okay?” She went a little over the top, to the point that most of the class was forced to their knees.

Kye gave her a blank look. “Maybe a little less.”

“Ah, okay. I’ll cut it down.”

With it much more manageable, Kye nodded. “Okay, so I had planned to do this myself, but this will be easier. “You will measure her and simultaneously try to identify the type of mana I am channeling in my hand behind my back. Everyone in this class has progressed to the point of 95% accuracy up to a billion output, so we’re gonna add on an additional challenge. And remember, my grading rubric is not linear. My class is much more difficult than most.” She added that last part to help the nervous students manage their anxiety. “Any volunteers to go first?”
