Chapter 74: Vol2 Ch25 – Scholarships (2)

“You’re serious?”

Kye had just finished explaining to Luma the situation that occurred during her morning class with the instructor. “Yeeep.”

“That man has no business working here,” Liliana said. She had been ready to pounce Instructor Hansen and likely would have if not for Kye’s quick thinking.

“It’s fine, Lily, I’m thicker skinned than that.” Kye gave her a warm smiled. “But I appreciate the thought. You and Ally are so good to me, I question whether I deserve it.”

““Of course, you deserve it!”” both said instantly.

“I agree!” Alethea added. Kye had expected that Alethea came close to losing her temper, too. “I can get that man perma-fired if you want! I outrank everyone except my mom!”

Astarte appeared. She was in weapon form, specifically an armband, resting on Alethea’s left wrist. “You shall not do that, Alethea. Atalante will-”

“Whoa, whoa, hold on you two. Really, it’s okay!” Kye didn’t want to ruin an idiot’s life just for being an idiot. “There’s no reason to talk about it to begin with. I don’t want to do that. It’s the people like that who need help the most. I really don’t know how he passed his instructor course, but I do know he’s a newbie. He started this year. He’s probably just too hotheaded, thinking he’s all that. He’s fresh out of the university, so he’s not even thirty yet.”

“And we’re not even twenty yet!”

Kye didn’t respond, instead she just raised an eyebrow.

Alethea shrugged. “Yeah, yeah. I know it’s not a fair comparison.”

“So, idiot instructor aside...” Kye asked why Luma was there. She had gotten some good news and wanted to share it right away. Her eyes widened more as Luma laid everything out. They had been waiting for a response from the Slayer Academy. Kye’s plan to integrate all races, starting with teaching them to fight, was accepted. “That’s wonderful!”

“And get this. The leaders of many demihuman nations are sponsoring not only their own students for the start of this but also any other student they send for the next ten years, as well as contributing to a joint scholarship to cover every student of every race, even the human students!”

A loud dinging sound suddenly sounded, indicating time for the next class to begin. “That’s wonderful news. Let’s talk more after school. Will you stick around? The rest of my classes could use your help. You wanted to butt in yesterday, anyway.”

“Yeah, I’ll hang around.”

Kye nodded and formed a ball of white mana in her hand. She tossed it to the side, and it expanded into a large ring. Inside the ring was the classroom where her class typically met up, and students began filing through.

“Aneue!” Yami cheered as she came through the portal.

“That’s-”

““Instructor Akari to you!””

Yami giggled. “You’re never gonna get me to call you that, you know.”

Kye shrugged and began class. She planned to do the same thing with that class as with her previous class. After a quick explanation, they began. Kye made sure Luma knew to dial it back to match the levels of the first years.

“Okay, I’m gonna go with 295,723 and lightning,” Aina said after doing the exercise.

Kye nodded and logged her result. “Good work, Aina. The correct amount is 292,439, and lightning is correct.” They worked through the entire roster in just under fifteen minutes. “Alright, everyone scored above 95%. Good work. We’ll start adding a seventh digit tomorrow. How is everyone’s training going? Learning to properly sense mana and process the information is the main point of this semester, but I hope you lot haven’t neglected improving your output!”

Yami puffed out her chest proudly. “Of course! What do you take us for? We’re students of both the Alcanus Royal Academy and the one and only Goddess of Light!”

Kye smiled dryly. “Well, okay then. Go ahead and give me a demonstration.”

Yami nodded and released as much mana as she could. Given that it had been almost two months since the start of the year, she was showing considerable growth. “How’s this?”

Kye smiled again, warmly that time. “Very good! You’ve broken a billion. That’s quite a substantial bump in only two months. I’ll update your record. You’ve grown from 747M to 1023M. Keep it up, Yami.”

“What about you, Aneue?” Yami asked excitedly. “You’re a student, too, but you don’t attend afternoon classes anymore. How is your own growth?”

“Oh, uh...” Kye shrugged and channeled mana. “Let’s see if you can measure me. Go ahead.”

Her mana was so intense that some students had to step back. Only the royals and archnobles could stay somewhat close, and only Yami could stand right in front of her. “51B.”

“Correct. I am channeling 51B exactly. But I am not allowed to update my own score, so I just let it go.” Kye grinned and released ten times as much, putting even Yami square on her knees. “How about now, little sister?”

Her eyes widened. “What? It’s so strong. How?”

Allison appeared next to Kye and just sighed. Kye gave her an apologetic smile. “Whoops, sorry. I’m just giving them a demonstration.” Kye stopped channeling, and Allison shrugged before teleporting away. “Alright, little sister, how much was that output?”

Struggling back to her feet, Yami met her sister’s eyes and answered, “Half a trillion. More precisely, that was ten times, so 510B.”

The rest of the class gasped and began murmuring about how someone so young could do so much.

Kye grinned at them. “Don’t worry! It’s my job to teach you my ways. I have been given significant freedom in how I teach, considering my methods are the best in the empire. HOWEVER, nothing I’ve done so far is not taught by other instructors.”

“Was that mana compression?” asked Sophia Strauss, Isabel’s younger sister.

“Yes! I am able to compress higher unassisted, but there are ways to go far beyond that. I’ll use divine mana this time to show you so that I don’t cause your bodies any harm with the heavy output. Does anyone remember the name of the spell I used against the S+ Class beast I killed a few years ago on Atlas?”

Sophia’s identical twin, Elizabeth Strauss, answered, “Aether Drive!”

“Correct! Aether Drive.” Kye closed her eyes and focused for a moment and unleashed an immense burst of aether. She held her arms out in front of her, basking in her own power. She opened her eyes and everyone could see the power and seriousness in her silver eyes glowing with white around edges of her pupils and irises. “Would anyone like to try measuring me now?”

Ten seconds of silence later, Yami reluctantly answered, “I’m sorry, Aneue. I can’t read you. It’s too much.”

Kye glanced over to Liliana, who was also no longer taking afternoon classes. “Yes, Princess Kye. I shall assist you.” She stepped up to Yami and stood side-by-side with her. “Princess Yami, please follow my directions.”

Yami nodded. “Okay, Lily.”

“Hold out your hand toward Princess Kye.” Lily did so herself after Yami did. “Now, feel your sister’s power. Focus on not her body, but the divine mana swirling around her.”

“Okay.”

After a moment, “Now, zoom in on the energy particles. Use your own mana to enhance your senses. Your eyesight, hearing, and so forth.”

“Zoom in?”

“Remember how we taught you to mentally cast magic? Imagine the magic and think the incantation if you need to?”

“Yes.”

“Do the same here. It will become second nature with time. So far, you have been sensing mana only at the surface. This is why Princess Kye always tests you with rounded numbers - so that you can reach one hundred percent accuracy. But now, you can’t rely on that alone.”

“Okay.”

“Imagine a microscope. In your mind, put her power on the slide and look in. Zoom in until you can see every individual mote.”

Using Liliana’s guidance, Yami could see. She saw what she considered to be an inhuman amount of aether. “It’s so... beautiful...” Yami’s eyes and body were glowing blue. She was using her own aether to read Kye’s. “I’ll need time to practice with this to get it down, but I can give a rough estimate now.”

Kye nodded and said, “Okay. Take your best shot.”

“25T.”

The rest of the class gasped again with wide eyes. “What the-” “How in the world?!” “That’s insane!”

Kye smiled. “Good work, I’m actually outputting 25.5T right now.” She dispersed her aether, stepped closer, and placed a hand on Yami’s shoulder. “You are keeping up with our brother. I’m proud of you, little sister.”

Yami timidly looked Kye in the eyes. “Aneue?”

“Hmm?”

“How in the world is this even possible?”

“What do you mean?”

“Since you were very little, you’ve done crazy, ridiculous things. You invented aethersteel just because regular materials couldn’t withstand your white mana. You are so strong. Your mana prowess is literally unmatched, and your ability to manipulate divine mana is so great that you taught Aunt Allison.”

“Yeah.”

“Do you not understand how significant that is? A STUDENT taught the most powerful person in the entire empire how to do something significant!”

Kye laughed dryly, “Well, she didn’t require much teaching. She has taught me far more than I’ve taught her, and I only really shared an idea of how to do things. She figured it out from there.”

“Even so. Your accomplishments are unprecedented! You’re an instructor and a student at the same time! Your mana, magic, and combat abilities are out of this world, and your grades are literally perfect scores across the board. It’s... to say I’m proud of you, Aneue, is an understatement. I don’t know how to emphasize it enough.”

Kye scratched the back of her head. “Well, I imagine people would have thought the same thing about Allison when she was young. Shifts in the world’s paradigm are inevitable. It was only a matter of time before someone like me came along and shook everything up. We can talk more about this later if you’d like. Want to have dinner together tonight?”

Yami nodded with a hesitant smile.

“Okay.” Kye smiled. “We’ll have something especially good!”
