I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 302 Chapter 55: A New Professor (5)

A New Professor (5)

The rumors about the new professor for the Counter measures Against Dark Magic course, Scarlett, spread rapidly.

Since it was a required course, most of Stella's cadets attended it. Previously, there was only an old male professor, so the students couldn't help but have expectations for a pretty, young-looking professor.

And meeting those expectations, Scarlett soon became a beloved professor among the students.

It could partly be due to her charm magic, but mostly it was because Scarlett herself spoke in a very charming way, making the majority of the students find her lovable.

"...Professor Scarlett?"

Mayuseong, who was sitting idly at his desk, staring out the window with a bored expression, perked up at the mention of an interesting topic.

"Yes. Mayuseong, aren't you also taking the Counter measures Against Dark Magic class today?"

At that, Mayuseong smiled.

If Baek Yuseol or Flame were there, they might have said, "This guy doesn't even know what class he has today," but the students thought it impossible for Mayuseong, the top student in his grade, to be unaware of his schedule and continued talking.

"She really looked like a middle schooler."

"A middle schooler? She must look really young."

"That's right."

"But doesn't that seem strange?"

Mayuseong's question made his friends tilt their heads in confusion.

"What is?"

"While it's true that wizards can look younger when they reach a higher class, they can't look younger than adults. That would be in the realm of 'rejuvenation.'"

"Uh... that's true?"

"Unless she's a great wizard who has surpassed human limits at the 9th class level, how could the professor look like a middle schooler?"

Smiling broadly, Mayuseong's question left his friends staring at each other in shock.

"...Indeed?"

It's a question they should have naturally had.

But they hadn't even thought about it. It was as if someone had forced them not to think about it.

As their expressions turned serious, Mayuseong came to a conclusion.

"Oh, then maybe the professor really is a middle schooler? If she's an incredible genius, it might be possible."

"Oh...! Now that you mention it, I've never heard which university or magic tower Professor Scarlett is from."

"She might have the skills but no experience because she's too young."

"Being taught by a middle schooler..."

"It's humiliating, but kind of amazing."

Seeing his foolish friends believe his nonsense so readily, Mayuseong's expression hardened.

Are they really so stupid to say such foolish things? No way.

This is Stella Academy, where only elites who are called geniuses gather, whether they are from Class A or Class D.

A suggestion spell powerful enough to block the thoughts of such students.

The entire school... was being swayed by the magic of just one person.
