Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Once Upon a Time, there was a boy called Glenn Radars, who just wanted to be a hero like the mages he grew up reading in his storybooks. In the present, he is anything but. Glenn is a tardy, lazy, and seemingly incompetent bastard; and against all odds, he is forced to become an instructor at the prestigious Alzano Imperial Magic Academy. As you can expect, he doesn't even try to make a good impression with his class, especially the studious and proud Sistine Fibel, who challenges him to a magic duel with the condition that he will take his job more seriously if she wins. The fight, if it can even be called a fight, goes in Sistine's favor and, for once, Glenn is forced to make himself useful. Still, there might be more to him that meets the eye.Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor (ロクでなし魔術講師と禁忌教典, Roku de Nashi Majutsu Kōshi to Akashikku Rekōdo) is a Light Novel series written by Tarō Hitsuji and illustrated by Kurone Mishima, published under the Fujimi Fantasia Bunko imprint since July 19, 2014 and is still ongoing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series also has a spin-off named Memory Records of Bastard Magic Instructor (ロクでなし魔術講師と追想日誌メモリーレコード, Roku de Nashi Majutsu Kōshi to Memorī Rekōdo) which is a Compilation Rerelease of four side stories which were originally released in Dragon Magazine with only the last side story being made for that volume.

Empire with a Dark Secret: It is highly implied that the Alzano Empire is one since discovering it is what caused Jatice to rebel against the country he once served and not heling the matters is that Rezalia claims that the country is founded by devils. | |

All Men Are Perverts: The male students of Glenn's class sans one gleefully follow him in having a look at their female classmates in swimsuits and had even planned to sneak into the girls' hotel room at night. Zigzagged with Glenn himself as although he planned the school field trip to the beach in the first place, he still prevents his male students from sneaking into the girls' hotel room by force. | |

| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: Ellen Kleitos may have relived the same week for a century, but even she is unable to defeat Sistine who has more experience and actual training in combat since although Ellen remembers her moves, Sistine is still flexible enough to adapt to them. On top of that even her mental strength has limits since in later repeats she starts making mistakes which causes her to lose some fights despite having more strength than them. | |

Stripperiffic: The Alzano Academy girls' uniforms, which show off the midriff, and come with a short skirt that exposes a good part of the thighs and include Zettai Ryouiki with garters. They also look really, really cool. This is explained in the light novel: unlike male students, the females are recommended to wear less clothing (during academic periods) to increase their affinity to mana. Their clothing is also enchanted with automatic air-conditioning magic which adjusts the temperature and humidity of the air around them. | |

Magical Incantation | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_1ebfd039 | comment |
Magical Incantation: Obligatory for any magic-focused series. As an example, casting Shock Bolt requires the user to chant "Thunder sprites, pay heed, and strike with your electric shock.". In actual combat, the match is determined by who can shorten the incantation to a single line and chant faster. | |

Wizard Duel | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_1f75bca8 | comment |
Wizard Duel: These are one way for magicians to settle disputes with each other, though the practice is now seen as somewhat antiquated. They are initiated by the challenger throwing their glove at the challenged, and the challenged party has the right to set the terms of the duel. Sistine challenges Glenn to one and wins. Soundly. Apparently, a duel between student and teacher was unheard of (let alone a student beating a teacher). It's later implied that Glenn (who used to be a military-contracted magician killer) would not even remotely think of lifting a finger against one of his students, let alone against Sistine, and he was not fighting seriously or he's just that unmotivated to fight. | |

| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Volume 19 reveals that the ancient magic civilization is this. Originally a paradise lacking poverty created by the Wise King Titus, a millennia later he went mad and turned it into a totalitarian rule with a caste system where the only beings deem humans are the one who can use High Runes, while every other people are seen as livestock. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In this case Chekhov's Gunpowder. When Glenn gets his gun back from Albert in Volume 4, he aks why he also didn't give him "Eve Kaisur Gunpowder" which was also later mentioned by Jatice in the next volume. Volume 10 reveals that the gunpowder allows Glenn to put his magic characteristics inside the bullet, shoot it point blank range at the target which results in an attack devastating enough to kill the souls of any target which includes the Demon General with a nearly invincible body. | |

| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_234073a4 | comment |
Your Mind Makes It Real: Glenn demonstrates in his first serious lesson that the incantations used to cast spells only facilitate the process of casting. Spells behave as their caster's subconscious wills it, and with enough practice any spell could theoretically be cast with any kind of incantation. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Glenn's dream to become a "Mage of Justice" like the one he reads in fairy tales is naturally a dream others tend to mock for its childlike nature and sheer impossibility of achieving it, because of how complicated moralities of people can be in real life and even if they are evil, killing them is usually if not always the answer. | |

Stable Time Loop: Out of Nameless' dialogue, it is highly implied one is currently going on considering the fact she says that what Glenn does is important for both the future and past. This water later confirmed in Volume 19 in which Glenn, Sistine and Celica go back in time or in the case of the latter returns to her time. In the past they set up the events that will be compiled in the book "Magician of Melgalius". | |

| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: Played for Drama, enforced and in the end subverted. Volume 13 ends with Glenn telling Albert he should trust his allies more and ask for their help which he heads after seeing what Glenn managed to accomplish by getting help himself. Cue the next volume in which Glenn is unable to ask for help directly since it will kill his ally for knowing of the timeloop and restart it, but in the end it is subverted since the trust they have in him is already strong enough that Sistine doesn't need the full information to help him since all she needs to know is that he needs help in saving people. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The light novel written by Sistine. The major characters are obviously based on Sistine and Glenn (being called "Mistine" and "Grey-sensei"), Sistine's avatar has ludicrous beauty described with Purple Prose, multiple men fight over her, and the character based on Glenn would prefer to be called "Mistine's beloved one" - in summary, it's Sistine's fantasies written down. Sistine doesn't see these flaws and doesn't realise why her work fails to win an award. | |

Sufficiently Analyzed Magic | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_41d8a845 | comment |
Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: One of the central aspects of Glenn's instruction towards his students focuses on shedding the belief that magic is "sacred" and set in stone because this reduces its actual practicality and malleability. He teaches them that a spell can be modified by chanting it with different syntaxes and even removing entire words from the phrasing, putting emphasis in the fact that what matters the most in an incantation is the "intent" of the magician and not so much the wording he uses. Glenn himself casts Shock Bolt with the most simplified and half-hearted wording he can use, surprising the students who thought that they had already mastered the spell. To elaborate on the previous point, Glenn later reminisces at the fact that Shock Bolt is remarkably difficult to master even to those who employ Military Magic because its final output is tremendously hard to calibrate and it might end up killing the person in the receiving end if not cast carefully; this is a risk inherent to the actual intent of the spell, which is to merely stun. He is even preoccupied at the fact that Leos is teaching his classroom to push for the military application of magic, which has the intent to injure and kill. | |

| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: Just looking at all the promotional material and trailers for the series, you would think Sistine is the main character, but the main focus of a good portion of the first few arcs is on Rumia, and Re=L takes up a majority of the spotlight as well, meaning that Sistine is, at best, the third-most important character throughout most of the material the anime covers. | |

This trope is actually defied by Glenn himself at least towards Sistine and Rumia, because he only sees them as his students, but not as women. Rumia notes and realizes this especially when she compares how Glenn interacts with women that are closer to his age such as Eve or Celica. | |

We Named the Monkey "Jack": In the side story, "White Cat becomes a White Cat", Glenn picked up what he thought was a stray cat, he decided to call her "Sistine" since they both had similar personalities. Sistine who actually was the cat (due to a magic accident) doesn't like the naming or rather wants him to reverse it since he normally calls her "White cat". | |

Teacher/Student Romance | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_6d892421 | comment |
Teacher/Student Romance: Although Glenn is young, athletic and definitely more intelligent than he seems, most students see him as a lazy and silly young man. Specifically, regardless of whether Sistine or Rumia (or maybe even Re=L, Francine, Collette or Maria) becomes a pair with Glenn, their couple will quickly get into this trope. However, their age difference isn't so far apart so doesn't look wrong. Glenn is on the other end of this trope with Celica, who was his magic teacher. This also happened to Sistine's parents. Bonus points for having the ''exact same'' dynamic as Glenn and Sistine's. This trope is actually defied by Glenn himself at least towards Sistine and Rumia, because he only sees them as his students, but not as women. Rumia notes and realizes this especially when she compares how Glenn interacts with women that are closer to his age such as Eve or Celica. It also turns out Rumia's ancestor, Alicia III, married her own teacher. Sadly it ended tragically with Alicia III murdering her own husband once she went into madness and realized he was the devil. | |

The Ending Changes Everything: The Side Story, "Heavens, the Lonesome Witch", is about Celica's first meeting with Glenn which is why it is such a big twist that the 'Glenn' we got to know in the story wasn't the one of the main story and a thrall the whole time. Instead the Glenn we know is a kid who lost his memories as a result of experiments and was named after the original 'Glenn'. The end of "False Hero" reveals that Abel is Albert Frazer who threw away his old name and ideals for the sake of vengeance. | |

Breather Episode: In the anime episode 7 is this since it lacks any major conflict and instead focuses on Re=L settling in with the rest of the class and Glenn taking his class for a field trip. This is actually how every light novel volume starts except for 4 and 10, because they are continuations of the previous ones. The first chapters are more lighthearted with humor, but the ones in the end are filled with conflict. The side stories compared to the main story, since they mostly show the daily life of the characters. | |

Difficult, but Awesome: The reconstitution method of alchemy. The modern method of alchemy uses alchemical cauldrons, which are simple to use but don't give a good understanding of the processes involved. In contrast, reconstitution is more difficult and also requires catalysts, but it is better for properly learning alchemy and also results in higher-quality products. | |

Tarot Motifs | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_bf5fc089 | comment |
The members of the Imperial Court Magic Corps Special Missions Annex all have Tarot Motifs and traits similar to the Stand Users of ''Stardust Crusaders. Their group consists of: Fool who has objections of working with them. Chariot who uses a sword. Magician who fights with fire. Hierophant who uses Emeralds and barriers. Hermit that is an old man who used to kick lots of ass in his youth and knows many rope tricks. Star who's The Stoic and their strongest member. World that can stop time and is immortal. Justice who controls undead bodies. All of this sound familiar? | |

Shout-Out: The members of the Imperial Court Magic Corps Special Missions Annex all have Tarot Motifs and traits similar to the Stand Users of ''Stardust Crusaders. Their group consists of: Fool who has objections of working with them. Chariot who uses a sword. Magician who fights with fire. Hierophant who uses Emeralds and barriers. Hermit that is an old man who used to kick lots of ass in his youth and knows many rope tricks. Star who's The Stoic and their strongest member. World that can stop time and is immortal. Justice who controls undead bodies. All of this sound familiar? Volume 8 has a few references to Ranma ½. The first chapter is called Glenn ½ and the story involves Glenn turning into a woman (with the fake name Ren Gladars) who has to infiltrate an all girls Wizarding School so that Re=L won't be expelled for failing grades. When Glenn turns back into a man in the middle of the story. The excuse he and his students make is that Ren turns into a man whenever "she" touches hot water, because of a Magical Experiment gone wrong. | |

Sacred Cow | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_cc84830a | comment |
Sacred Cow: In-universe; magic is treated as this divine gift that tells those who study it the inner workings of the world through special incantations. Glenn disabuses his students of that notion. The "official" incantations only make it easier to spell-cast by setting up a ready-made framework in the mage's mind; with enough training, one can break free of this mental framework and cast almost any spell with almost any incantation which Glenn demonstrates when he casts a Shock Bolt (a basic spell that shoots lightning straight forward) with a (seemingly) sloppy incantation and makes it curve in different directions. | |

Glove Slap | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_d19343fc | comment |
Glove Slap: How Sistine challenges Glenn to a Wizard Duel (see below), unfastening her glove and throwing it in his face. Notably, she only wears a glove on her left hand (later volumes confirm that mages only wear gloves on their left hand). As an Ironic Echo, Glenn throws a glove at Leos to challenge him for belittling Sistine's goals. | |

The Mole: Huey, a teacher of the Alzano Imperial Magic Academy who is secretly associated with the Researchers of Divine Wisdom. Eleanor Chalet, a member of Divine Wisdom, got into the queen's inner circle as an attendant and tricked her into wearing a Conditional Cursed Necklace. Worse yet, Albert surmises that there are probably more moles within the government. | |

Attempted Rape: Sistine is assaulted in the second episode of the anime by a terrorist who was gloating about how he was going to "break her" as he started to remove her clothing. She was saved by her teacher before the villian could undress her fully. This was the first time for her to see the true nature of her substitute instructor. | |

Real After All | |
| Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor / int_fb724048 | comment |
Real After All: It's implied that the events of the book "Magician of Melgalius" happened in real life considering the fact many of the beings truly exist and that the author was executed in Rezalia for writing it since they considered it 'heretic'. This is later confirmed once it turns out the author based the book on the various stories of the "Magician of Justice" he compilied through his research. | |
