「Just knowing this theory will definitely come in handy somewhere. This part is difficult, so make sure to review it properly.」
Angelica Honest. Magical Theory Instructor at Royal Arcana Academy. This is the story of her first day.
The class progresses smoothly, and Angelica internally breathes a sigh of relief thinking, 「Maybe I can do this after all…」 However, just as the class is about to end, someone raises his hand. It’s a male student considered to be among the top five in his year. A young man with fluffy hair and puppy-like cute features.
If Yamada were here, he would’ve surely said something like, 「That’s… a puppy-like submissive shota! Or PSS for short! He’s the token shota character that appears in every otome game!」
「I have a questiooon!」
「What is it?」
「I heard something, and I was wondering – is it true that Professor Honest is a weakling who can only use basic magic?」
At the puppy shota’s malicious question, several students start snickering with ill intent. *Sigh, these types exist everywhere, don’t they?* While internally monologuing, Angelica answers the student’s question honestly.
「In a sense, that’s true.」
The puppy shota questioner smirks mockingly. It’s an expression Angelica recognizes all too well. People who make such expressions invariably have rotten personalities. They’re the type who uniformly take pleasure in looking down on others, mocking them, and degrading them.
「So that meansss, Professor Honest used her family’s influence to make people call her the wise, and got her teaching position through connections, riiight?」
This time, clear malicious laughter from his group of followers echoes through the classroom. However-
「That’s incorrect. Both being called the wise and becoming an instructor were achieved through my own abilities.」
Angelica states firmly. In response, for whatever reason they find amusing, the student in question and his followers burst into loud laughter. It could even be called ridicule.
「Everyone was making such a big fuss about ‘the wise one, the wise one,’ so I was suuuper excited to see who was coming, but to think it’d be a weakling who can only use basic magic – isn’t that just hilarious?」
Emboldened by his words, his followers’ comments toward Angelica become more malicious, more violent, nearly turning into verbal abuse.
「Ah.」
These types exist everywhere. *Ah well, this is one of those situations. Can’t be helped. Yeah, yeah.*
At this point, Angelica doesn’t even bother justifying the action she’s about to take. The groundwork is already laid – the preparations are complete. The naturally serious Angelica’s immediate decision to take this approach was completely Yamada’s influence. For now, to silence them, she claps her hands together with a loud *PAM!* sound, making them quiet down.
「Well then, let’s give it a try. It’s tiresome to keep explaining with words, and even idiots will shut up when they see actual ability right before their eyes. Come at me with the strongest magic you can use.」
When Angelica provokes the students in question, they spit out things like 「Don’t complain afterwards, okaaay?」 and 「Don’t say we didn’t warn you」 as they try to head toward the training hall.
「Wait, wait. There’s no need to go to the training hall. Fire at me right here, right now.」
Right here, right now – meaning she doesn’t need the barrier in the training hall that absorbs damage. In other words, Angelica doesn’t consider them a threat at all.
「Are you making fun of usss?」
「Making fun? You’re already genuine idiots. I wonder who’s pulling your strings. Well, whatever. Once this is over and you’re convinced, you’ll quietly attend class from now on.」
Angelica pays no mind to the change in the students’ atmosphere.
「Now, raise your wands and start your incantations. I’ll wait as long as it takes. Oh, and even though the lecture hall is spacious, make sure to control your spells so they don’t hit the walls or ceiling. You can manage that much, right?」
The puppy shota’s pride is in tatters. *This connection-girl told us to do it.* *So it doesn’t matter if she gets seriously injured.* *It’s her responsibility.*
The inner thoughts of his followers are all similar, all shifting responsibility to Angelica or their group leader, abandoning reason as they begin their incantations. And then-
「About time.」
The puppy shota’s group consists of seven people including himself. As expected of honor students and their followers, all seven spells are advanced magic. The puppy shota’s activation is the fastest, followed by his followers’ magic gradually completing.
Then as they cast 「Flame Pillar!」 「Rock Bullet!」 「Ice Lancer!」 and so on-
「Hack.」
*«Outer Material»* It’s mana that exists within the body, released externally without converting it into magic. Angelica manipulates the externally released mana to manifest magic, enabling her to use pseudo-advanced magic without being limited to extremely small emission pores. Furthermore, by applying this technique, it becomes possible to hijack others’ magic formulas.
「Why… why is this happeningggg!!」
「Waaah! How come-!」
「My magic-!」
All seven students start screaming and making a commotion at once. And for good reason – their magic should have completed, but no matter how they try to control it, there’s no response. No matter how much they try to fire, they can’t shoot at their target.
「Your magic is under my control.」
Angelica announces.
「I’ll return it to you.」
When she grins, the magic floating above them slowly, gradually moves closer to its original casters.
「Come on now, it’s going to hit you. Better do something about it.」
All seven are already panicking at their approaching magic. Faced with the unprecedented situation of having their magic control stolen, the puppy shota, who had been holding back until now, bursts into tears saying, 「I’m sorryyyy! Waaaaah!」 Hearing this, Angelica snaps her fingers.
「Well done.」
At that moment, the blazing fireballs, rock bullets, ice lances, and everything else vanish without a trace. And just like that, the previous commotion becomes a lie – silence falls over the lecture hall. In that overwhelming quiet, Angelica, worried that *「Oh my, perhaps I went a bit too far?」* puts her hand to her hat and says,
「Oh? Did I do something?」
That was definitely Yamada’s bad influence. And for the finishing blow-
「Oh right, just so you know, there won’t be a second time.」
After that, no student ever doubted her abilities again, and they all seriously attended her classes, striving to get even a little closer to her level of skill.
