What If Sistine Fired Glenn Radars for Being Lazy?

This is a fun alternate scenario from Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor that flips the dynamic between Sistine and Glenn. Let’s explore how it might realistically play out—both emotionally and story-wise.

The Situation: Sistine Takes Action

Imagine Glenn’s usual “lazy, unmotivated” behavior finally crosses a line.

  • He skips too many classes
  • Leaves students unprepared for exams
  • Shows open disinterest in teaching

In this version, Sistine—who deeply respects magic and education—reaches a breaking point.

“If you’re not going to take this seriously… then you shouldn’t be here at all.”

Through either student pressure, faculty complaints, or a formal report, Glenn is removed from his teaching position.

Sistine’s Immediate Reaction

At first, Sistine would feel justified.

  • She believes she acted responsibly
  • She thinks students deserve better
  • She’s frustrated with Glenn’s attitude

But that confidence wouldn’t last long.

The Turning Point

Once Glenn is gone, cracks begin to show:

  • Substitute teachers lack Glenn’s unconventional but effective methods
  • Students struggle to grasp complex concepts Glenn used to simplify
  • Dangerous situations arise where Glenn’s combat experience would’ve helped

Sistine starts realizing something uncomfortable:

Glenn wasn’t lazy—he was teaching in his own way.

Emotional Shift: Regret and Growth

Sistine’s personality makes this part important. She’s stubborn, but also sincere. Her internal conflict might look like:

  • “Did I misunderstand him?”
  • “Was I too harsh?”
  • “Why do things feel worse without him?”

She may even recall specific moments:

  • When Glenn protected students
  • When his “lazy” lessons actually worked
  • When he showed hidden depth and care

This leads to guilt and determination.

How Sistine Tries to Bring Glenn Back

Bringing Glenn back wouldn’t be easy—it would require effort, humility, and growth.

1. Investigating the Truth

She digs into Glenn’s past:

  • Learns about his trauma and burnout
  • Understands why he avoids emotional investment
  • Realizes his “laziness” is partly a defense mechanism

2. Taking Responsibility

Instead of blaming others, Sistine owns her decision:

  • She approaches the academy staff
  • Admits she acted too quickly
  • Advocates for Glenn’s return

3. Finding Glenn

Glenn likely wouldn’t just sit around waiting. Possible scenarios:

  • He returns to a low-profile job
  • He distances himself from teaching entirely
  • He resumes dangerous work tied to his past

Sistine tracks him down and confronts him.

“You don’t get to just disappear. Your students still need you… I still—need your guidance.”

4. Emotional Confrontation

This is where character growth peaks:

  • Glenn initially brushes her off
  • Sistine pushes back harder than before
  • She acknowledges she was wrong

Key shift:

  • Before: She judged him
  • Now: She understands him

Glenn’s Decision

Glenn wouldn’t return just because he’s asked. He would test Sistine:

  • Has she matured?
  • Does she truly understand his teaching style?
  • Can she support him instead of opposing him?

If convinced, he might respond with something like:

“You’ve gotten a little less naive… maybe that’s worth coming back for.”

What Changes After His Return?

If Glenn comes back, their dynamic evolves:

Sistine

  • Becomes more open-minded
  • Learns to look beyond surface behavior
  • Gains leadership maturity

Glenn

  • Takes teaching slightly more seriously
  • Shows more consistency
  • Still lazy—but with clearer intent

Their Relationship

  • More mutual respect
  • Less conflict, more collaboration
  • Stronger mentor-student bond

Multi-View Perspective

From Other Students:

  • Initially: “Finally, he’s gone.”
  • Later: “Wait… classes were actually better with him.”

From Faculty:

  • Mixed reactions—some agree with Sistine, others recognize Glenn’s value

From Glenn:

  • Sees Sistine’s growth as proof she’s becoming a true mage

Mini Story Snapshot

The classroom felt quieter without him.
No sarcastic remarks. No lazy lectures. No strange brilliance hidden in nonsense. Sistine stood at her desk, gripping her notes. “Why does it feel… worse?” That’s when she understood.
She hadn’t removed a bad teacher—
She had pushed away one she didn’t fully understand.

TL;DR

  • Sistine firing Glenn would start as a justified decision based on his behavior
  • She would quickly realize his hidden value as a teacher
  • Guilt and growth would drive her to bring him back
  • The process would deepen both characters and strengthen their relationship
