(Apparently, she took it pretty badly. Therefore, I would suggest to ..)

"Stop, Viscount. Just, let it go. I was sure that it would have failed so since that's the case, I will just gladly oblige." The soul residing in her became mute and didn't propose anything else. They tried something and it failed, it was no problem in this situation. The two were not expert at dealings with humans, that's why she was hunted by an entire planet and he died alone in a cemetery. Raising her head, she saw 41 pairs of eyes looking at her with a wide array of emotions. Fear from a thin boy, interest from another one, disappointment from the blonde moron and finally anger transmitted by the eyes of the old woman.

"Leilade." She didn't care what was a sleeping beauty for this world or if it was a tale or a swear. But her name was not enough for the magician and from the looks of it, she will have other things to do.

"Leilade, tell me, what do you know about magic?" The tone of the elderly mage became sweet like she was talking to her granddaughter finally visiting her. But the content of her sentence grabbed the attention of everyone. Some children began to sneer, what could a country bumpkin like that silent girl know about anything?

"Nothing." And as expected, that was the only possible answer. Only Oscar Moo knew that she was able to cast a [Fireball] so her words were looking like the truth. Also, she won't say that she could kill everyone in this room in less than a second even if she had to expend her entire power to do it. That will only be available in the future.

"I see. So, why did you come here?" Again, the caring sound of a grandmother resonated in the room. By now, a few kids were able to pinpoint the massive issue that Leilade faced. The voice of the magician was friendly; her eyes were the absolute contrary. The group of three in the first row of seats laid back and enjoyed the spectacle.

"Study magic." The contrast became more and more visible and even Istuienn looked strangely at Leilade, not knowing what to do. For the boy next to her, however, his excitation was rising. He couldn't wait to see the one that made the princess fall getting humiliated. His only regret was the fact that he was not the one to do it, but in the future, he will not miss an occasion.

"Can someone learn anything if they are asleep?"

"No."

"Exactly what I wanted you to say. Since you said it yourself, you will not complain about that. It is only to help you stay awake." Suddenly, all could hear her say [Ice] and the air surrounding Leilade turned extremely cold. Instantly, all those that were in less than 3 meters away from her escaped and sought warmer seats. To the surprise of everyone, however, Leilade didn't even move and shrugged it off. It was only a temperature a few degrees under 0°C, so not a huge problem.

"Can you start the course please?" After all that loss of time, she was getting bored and the teaching magician was not moving at all. Even after her question, the old lady was looking at her like she was a little bit embarrassed. "What did she want me to do? Scream and cower in fear?"

(Absolutely. But there is no need to show some respect for such an insignificant ant. Also, it is still possible for a normal human to lack the ability to express their feelings.)

Following the very anti-climactic end of the short duel between a student and a teacher, the calm finally resumed. There were still shocked by the resilience of the small girl with blue eyes and her impassive behavior even under such a cold air. But they were also deeply disappointed, apparently magic was not that powerful. Feeling that she was losing her grip on the attention of the students, the old lady decided to go all out. She lowered the temperature of the entire room near 0°C, making nearly everyone shiver.

Her smug face after doing it was just annoying for Leilade, but she had no way to put that cocky elder at her rightful place. And from the looks of it, she was not done yet.

"So, it seems that we have a tough year today. It has been three years since the last moronic kid tried to do a trick on me. Did no one teach you at home to respect your elders and your ancestors? Hum?" She was arrogantly walking around the row of seats, making everyone near her feeling colder. At that time, no one, even Istuienn and Leodagan dared to raise their eyes in front of her. As for Leilade, she resumed her small sleep, since she had nothing else to do. The veins on her forehand were pulsating at that sight but the guilty party was the only one not affected by her wrath. Also, one proud and enamors boy with red hair decided to do something even more stupid. Contradicting the angered magician.

"Not everyone has a parent." By whatever was driving him at that time, Ronald stood up alone against the evil tyranny. The eyes of many turned in awe from that feat and a certain princess was in the lot. But the children of magicians and magus internally sneered at that act. They were surprised by the outcome of the punishment of Leilade but she already showed that logic was highly ineffective on her. But for Ronald, he will be sent as a tribute to appease the tyrant.

"Shut up smelly brat! Did I allow you to talk?" Putting her sight on the foolish kid, she made sure to not harm the close Istuienn. She knew who that girl was and while she could put the little girl in a small discomfort, she couldn't harm her at all. But for the commoner, no rules were applied. Suffering the exact treatment that Leilade received, his body turned blue in a few seconds. Snow and ice were covering his face, his mouth, his eyebrows, his hair. If it lasted one more minute, the boy will be turned into an ice sculpture.

"But I am a merciful goddess, if you apologize, I will stop." She was saying this, but even talking was extremely hard for Ronald. He truly didn't expect that he will be made a scapegoat. He looked with hatred at the sleeping girl in the back of the room, but what he was experiencing was too much. He felt the hand of Istuienn on his right arm and warmth spread in his limb. He saw her shaking her head but there was no disapprobation in her eyes. Sensing that he will lose nothing by surrendering, he tried to bow but realized that his legs were frozen.

" I .. apolo .. gize .. vene .. rable .. magi .. cian.." Snorting at his answer, the old lady released her prey and got back at her desk. She had her fun for the last ten minutes, but if someone entered the room and asked about the progress she made, she will be put in a bad spot. It was the first day and the schedule was pretty tight, meaning that before the next day, she couldn't do anything unusual. Smiling in front of the scared kids, she finally started to work.

"The level of behavior is degrading after each year. Truly a pity that no one seems exceptionally bright. Anyway, I am the magician of the 4th Circle Ella Romba. And the one in charge of your general knowledge. Unlike the rest of the teachers, you will only see me one year at most. Yeah, yeah, keep your sighs for yourself maggots, I will not let a single one of you pass without imparting some common senses in your empty skulls. Because you think that a lot of magicians want to deal with a pain in the ass like you fools?"

She scanned the room and saw nothing but obedient children looking at her in fear. Glad of this, she resumed her monologue.

"What is the purpose of general knowledge some of you are thinking? Well, for most noble children, it will be quite easy and I will let you out of my class as soon as possible. Some sons of merchants and wealthy families might be in the same case or even more informed since your parents truly need reliable information. As for the commoners and the .." She rushed toward Ronald and held her face right in front of him. ".. orphans, you will stay with me for a very long time. Enjoy it, cause you gonna have a bad time."

Her foul language at the end made everyone realized that the sooner they left this crazy woman, the better it will be. Especially Ronald, the moment the teacher turned around to sit down, he looked at Istuienn, hoping that she will save him. Leialde couldn't hear the conversation, but she guessed that this handsome boy will have some private sessions with the princess. Just thinking about that sickening situation made her nauseated. Another boy was feeling the same but he was also glad that his father engaged numerous private teachers before this.

"Anyway, we are late on the schedule, but you will stay with me a little while I think. If I remember, I should have two hours to see who will be the lucky and unlucky ones. I won't have to explain to you who will be the lucky, right? Let me first count how many worms I have to train." She evilly grinned once more while starting with Jorien.

"One .. Two .. Five .. Four .. Five .. Six .." At that time, Leilade and the group of three noticed that this old lady truly had a problem with the number three. The rest of the class was also puzzled by it, but who would dare to ask her face to face why she was doing that. Even the suicidal Ronald was trying to reduce his size when the old finger of the magician passed near him.

".. Forty .. and finally, forty-one." She stopped behind Leilade that was in the same position as before. She could easily sense the anger growing behind her but she didn't care. At the same time, this course will probably the only important one she had to listen. The rest will be about magic and stuff relevant to that domain, not something that she was desperately in need. She will look around, see if something was advanced or not, but it will be the end of her attention. But what that old Ella Romba will say was extremely important and will be transmitted as soon as possible at Malakov and Ymir.

"Great, now let me test you a bit. Who can tell me what were the Five Great Calamities of the past millennia?"

Hearing this, Leilade immediately straightened her back and listen carefully. She had some knowledge, but it was only folklores and tales about those three events. Two were immediately connected to the dark gods and the last was of a similar form. But even with all those supposedly immense powers, the 3 Great Calamities were all avoided or destroyed. Meaning that something powerful was guarding this planet. Noticing Leodagan that was raising his hand, she found for the first time that this son of magus was not that bad.
