The students in Olsylvia Academy’s magic department mostly came from Filomena Nobility Academy and Euphemia Imperial Academy, with a small portion belonging to Olivia Wizard Academy. Be it mages, wizards, or priests, all magical occupations required a lot of money.

Most of Frank Civilian Academy’s students would not be able to afford it. Similarly, the students from St. Louis Church Academy practiced their specially imparted skills and would not study there. The priests from this Other World were quite different from light magicians. Their light magic was so different that they couldn’t have studied it from the same place.

Olsylvia Academy’s magic department was located in its West Campus, the main building of the Trivican National Imperial Regiment Library inside of Euphemia Imperial Academy. This magical building towered into the sky and was the fifth tallest building in all of Olsylvia City, overlooking almost the entirety of Olsylvia Academy.

Along with her newly-issued nameplate for the magic department, Bella was walking side by side with Ariel down the corridor of Trivican National Imperial Regiment Library’s main building. She met many of the ladies from the magic department along the way. To Bella’s excitement, there was a severe disparity in the female-to-male ratio in the magic department, reaching almost eight to two. Besides, it was steadily rising to nine to one over the years.

The male-to-female proportion in the knight department was five to five, and the boys and girls’ ratio in the martial combat department was also normal. Nevertheless, the magic department was seriously imbalanced. It wasn’t that the boys didn’t enjoy magic; the humans just had their own exclusive academy for magic. Instead of coming to Olsylvia Academy, they might as well go to a more specialized magic academy like Listabel Academy or Dimiost Academy.

The ratio of male to female students was the exact opposite in those academies—seven to three, with the seven being the males, and the three being the females. Many students regretted enrolling there. With so few girls, the competition was fierce. Many of them envied the boys in the magic department over here.

Every time she thought about this, Bella felt a strange sense of guilt. There weren’t many girls in Listabel Academy and Dimiost Academy to begin with, but after visiting Angus City once, she committed a grave sin of “bending” many beautiful girls from the two academies, including the student council presidents of these two schools, President Alephia and President Gladdis!

On the way to class, Bella didn’t bump into a single boy from the magic department. After asking Ariel, she found out that the boys that made up less than 20% barely came to class. Unlike the other departments, the mentors in the magic department would only release detailed explanations about magical spells each day, and the mentors could ask them questions if they didn’t understand. If they did, they could pretty much figure it out by themselves.

This method of teaching was closer to self-study. Scenes in novels where magic mentors presented how to create fireballs did not exist in this Other World academy. The students who could entire this department were basically those who already had a foundation in magic. Something like casting a fireball was considered elementary level back on Earth and would not be taught.

The girls in the magic department wore casual clothes. After staring at them for a while, Bella realized that she and Ariel were both too formally dressed. None of the girls wore the uniforms issued to them by Olsylvia Academy. They would only wear them if they had to leave the magic department and go outside. None of them liked the conservative uniforms.

Most of the girls in the magic department wore dresses, and they were the revealing type too. Clearly, they regarded the school building no differently than their own rooms. Some of the girls even came here straight in their loose pajamas with a pair of cotton slippers on. The loli body type girls brought their stuffed puppets and came to class with drowsy eyes, as if they still needed more sleep.

But to Bella’s exasperation, all the girls in the magic department wore the conservative type of underwear that was common in this Other World, like the thermal underwear that kept the body warm. They were all well-concealed. Not to mention their collarbones or cleavage, they were so conservative that one could hardly see any of their skin.

Bella wanted to pounce on them several times, pushing them down and stripping them naked, so she could force them to put on the lingerie of her own design. The style of the underwear in this Other World was a classic example of bad development. Her girls didn’t wear underwear like these anymore. She couldn’t stand seeing this fake fanservice of them wearing dresses and pajamas over underwear like this.

One of the reasons for the boys’ low number in the magic department was because of the lack of eye candy. In addition, they wouldn’t find a girl from the same department if they wanted a girlfriend, mainly because these girls didn’t have any lack of money. It was hard for guys to lure them in by tossing money at them. According to a certain “experienced” member of the campus, it costed the same to pick up one girl in the magic department as three girls from the other martial departments. It was a shocking difference.

Bella and Ariel had no trouble finding their classrooms. The humongous size of the room was completely beyond that of the knight department’s classroom. It looked just like the private room of a wealthy young lady. Every girl had their own seats with some distance between them. The supporting service measures around each seat didn’t look like they were used for studying at all.

All kinds of entertainment facilities were available close to the seats of each girl. A magical ice storage box for storing snacks was filled with a variety of continental hero biography book series. Continental hero biographies were the novels of this Other World, chronicling the adventures of history’s heroes. Some were real stories, but many contained wild fantasies that were made up by the authors.

Bella had seen the biographies of several of her girls: “Light of Hope—Biography of the Holy Maiden Goldsmith”, “Goddess of Exorcism—Diary of Roxanne”, and “Tales of the Knight King—Knight King Ayden’s Adventures”. Two of them were currently tossing about in that suite of hers, so it felt a little awkward for Bella to see their biographies now.

Bella’s arrival did not attract much attention from the girls. The name of Grand Duchess Baize was nowhere near as famous as Grand Duchess Bellina, who was the hero that stopped the beastman invasion. Despite being a woman, it did not affect her influence in the human empires. The magic department did not have much interaction with the knight department, so many of these girls wouldn’t recognize Bella if they didn’t go out much.

Bella couldn’t even bother looking for a new seat and followed Princess Ariel. Just like others, Ariel’s seat was adequately equipped with entertainment facilities. She was not deprived of the benefits she deserved because of the false rumors that she was ugly. The magic department was more humane in that point of view.

Elaine wasn’t in the same class as Ariel, as she had signed up for alchemy instead. Her class was right next door. As soon as she sat down, Bella felt several eyes on her. Looking around, she found that they were Princess Effie and Princess Eveny whom she refused previously, as well as President Lucia, Miss Sylvia, Miss Serena, and Miss Anna Rosa. Bella had six of the magic department’s “Eight Chapters” in her grasp, so they couldn’t be any more familiar with Bella’s appearance.

Bella greeted them one by one with her eyes as a response to their confusion and greetings. Now, what these girls wore was the real eye candy. They had dresses on as well, but the underwear inside was Bella’s work. Both the collarbone and the cleavage were clearly visible. She was here with Ariel, so it wouldn’t be good to go and sit with them. If she did, there was no guarantee that her “demonic claws” would stay on her textbook.

Princess Effie and Princess Eveny were sharing a table. Since their intimate encounter last time, their “sisterhood” had deepened, and they stuck together ever since returning to school. They were even preparing to move their dorms to Bella’s, the “Pure White Heaven”.

But the most curious part to them was Little Sister Ariel’s ugliness. They had seen it in the past. She was so ugly that she could scare the noblemen who were going to be engaged to her. They withdrew from the marriage, saying that they would rather die than marry when they returned home.

However, Bella had a picky appetite. She wouldn’t lay a hand on a girl that wasn’t pretty. So why did she suddenly “change tastes”? Not even letting go of an ugly girl? They couldn’t wrap their heads around that.

The two remaining “Eighth Chapter Maiden Mages” were not present. Both “Emerald Sixth Chapter” and “Golden Eighth Chapter” were in the class next door, the same one as Princess Elaine and Chief President Angelina. Bella’s plan of grabbing all the “Eight Chapters” might have to wait for a while longer.

After all the girls were seated, their magic mentors appeared. It wasn’t the pretty young miss type that Bella had imagined but spirited old men. She expressed her disappointment. There wasn’t even a single female mentor. If it was the granny type, fine. But they were all old men without a single woman in sight. It was no wonder the boys didn’t come to class. How could a normal boy stand seven or eight classes each day, filled with the torture of staring at old men?

Most of these old magic mentors were the self-hyped type who could stand in the middle of the podium and teach their classes like a one-man lecture. Blabbing on about the principles of magic, it had a sort of “I’m the only one awake in this drunk world” type of feel.

The girls listening to the class were long used to this. They knew that the mentor had reached his climax when he began to speak emotively, so they all clapped their hands. Afterward, they buried their heads back down to the hero biographies and continued reading them while snacking.

But that was not the end; some worse ones were trimming their fingernails and powdering their faces, putting on makeup in class. Bella was utterly speechless. Were they here for the class or to watch a movie? Please behave yourselves! No uniform? Fine. But they didn’t even have their textbooks.

When Bella saw the boys’ handful of empty seats with only mage hats with names written on them as a replacement for themselves, she suddenly felt that there was still hope for the magic department’s girls. At least, they came, unlike the boys who had placed hats as substitutes.

It was okay to skip class. Classes in the magic department were more similar to university back on Earth, and the mentor’s lectures would be transmitted to each of them through their magical contact crystals after class. If you were smart enough, you could learn on your own. As soon as the semester started, many of the boys in the magic department would take private jobs during class time, such as joining mercenary adventure teams as a full-fledged mage just because they had class hours suited to it.

In addition to the self-hyped mentors, there were also the more popular silent types of old mentors. They wouldn’t chatter on for the whole day and would have their bodies silently turned over towards the magical blackboard, writing down all sorts of magical activation theories and incantations until the end of class. In this case, the girls could even skip on the applauding, so it would be strange if they weren’t welcomed.

After sitting down, Bella looked at the old man having the time of his life on the podium and began to miss her mentor from the knight department, Beauty Dragon Knight Ingrid. She turned her head and saw Princess Effie and Princess Eveny close by. Princess Eveny was on her seat, seemingly writing down notes, with Princess Effie stuck behind her, appearing to be guiding her.

The two sisters appeared normal, but Bella had different ideas. Princess Effie and Princess Eveny had already shared a bed, so it would be strange if this was normal. Sure enough, under careful observation, Bella realized that these two princesses weren’t studying at all. Princess Effie’s hand was stretched too much to the front, and she had already reached between Princess Eveny’s legs.

Bella couldn’t see what Princess Effie’s hand was doing since the desk was blocking her view, but she couldn’t be up to anything good. Princess Eveny had a light blush on her face, and her small mouth was slightly parted. Princess Effie was most likely touching her in a strange place and making her feel weird again. Bella had to give it to her that she could do this in class. Even though she wanted to do it too, she still hadn’t completed her advances on Princess Ariel yet. It might not end well if she forced herself on her.

The current mentor was a fire mage, Master Galeb, and he was talking about how to use the advanced fire magic, “Celestial Fire”. He was one of those self-hyped mentors, and though his lectures were interesting, Bella would prefer to read a hero biography instead.

The self-hyped mentors of the magic department were overly immersed in their own worlds and chattered away by themselves. There wasn’t any Q&A interaction between him and the students. Besides cheering and applauding, the students really couldn’t think of what else to do.

Bella flipped through “Light of Hope—Biography of the Holy Maiden Goldsmith” and “Goddess of Exorcism—Diary of Roxanne”, reading them like novels. She couldn’t be bothered to do something as stupid as clapping her hands!

But she had to say that these biographies were blown way out of proportion, comparable to the webnovels from her former life. All sorts of questionable history were added in, lifting the heroes up onto pedestals and whatnot. Bella nearly cracked out in laughter.

According to these biographies, Goldsmith killed three of the Twelve Demon Kings all by herself, and Roxanne was even more exaggerated. They said she laid waste to a demonic army of more than a million with just one strike. Also, a note at the end stated that the fifth-generation Radiant Pope Roxanne believed herself to be better than the first-generation Radiant Pope Goldsmith.

Bella almost burst out laughing. Didn’t these businesses have any shame, overdramatizing things like this?! They had blown their integrity straight out the window. Bella believed that the authors of these books must have been hired by the Radiant Church. She flipped through the books introducing the first popes of the Radiant Church and found each one worse than the other. Like going through heaven and hell in one second.

The first few male popes of the Radiant Church had their reputations washed completely clean by the biographies. They were all embodiments of justice, and their battles were way more exaggerated than what was written for Goldsmith and Roxanne. In comparison, “Tales of the Knight King—Knight King Ayden’s Adventures” was more realistic, the battles not as exaggerated.

But this book was wrong at the very beginning. They turned Knight King Ayden into a man, while the real Knight King Liath was a beautiful young woman. She was currently staying in Bella’s dorm, “Pure White Heaven”. The book couldn’t be all that good if they got the protagonist’s gender wrong.

“Fellow students, you will be able to unleash the super invincible fire magic, Celestial Fire, as long as you follow the magical principles and incantations here. It is much more practical than the water magic, Thousand Mile Ice Seal. This is a move that can wipe out tens of thousands of Demonic Race soldiers. You’ll know it when you try it!”

After a round of boasting, Master Galeb, the fire mage mentor, didn’t forget to talk smack about his arch-enemy, water magic. Bella looked at the magical incantation and principle explanations written down on the blackboard. It felt like she was staring at a combination of liberal arts history and science physics back on Earth. Her eyes clouded over, and she couldn’t fathom what she saw at all. It seemed like there were things she wasn’t good at as well.

“Master Galeb, your theory is too vague. Can’t you see that the students aren’t interested?! This won’t do. Our magic department is a traditionally strong subject, and we have to change in this year’s Twelve Ivies Battle.”

“Where did you come from... The class schedule hasn’t arrived yet... Er, you are...”

It was the first time Master Galeb had ever encountered someone coming to take over his class. After decades, someone finally interrupted him today. Master Galeb was so touched that he was nearly in tears. Bella almost felt a little sorry for the old man, but she was more interested in the interfering female teacher. She was a real beauty with an onee-san body, and from afar, her figure could almost rival that of the knight department’s beautiful mentor, Ingrid.

Master Galeb had a fiery temper, so even if he felt moved, he still had to roar a few times to keep up appearances. But after having a good look at her, his temper was all gone. Although the beautiful mentor who arrived was young, she bore the mark of Supreme Magic Mentor; thus, he could only calm himself. His initially angry face had now forcefully been turned into a smile. The atmosphere grew extremely awkward.
