Synopsis

- A silly, imaginative story. Welcome, if you like! -

On the first day of term, the freshmen looked utterly defeated.

The screen on the Sorting Gate lit up with a little red flower: "Biochemistry!!"

"... ?"

The Sorting Gate twisted like a snake: "Civil Engineering!!"

"... ??"

A young wizard from Nottinghamshire asked in all sincerity, "Sorry, what exactly is civil engineering?"

A young witch from New York was asked to show her phone.

"Scan the code." The bald dean hung a QR code on the wall. "Come over here and register for your dorms."

Someone couldn't take it anymore and quietly asked what was going on. Had the wizarding world gone crazy today?

"Ask him." The girl beside them pointed into the distance.

They turned to look. A beautiful silver-haired figure stood high above, his sea-blue eyes glimmering faintly.

"Is he one of our seniors?"

"A senior?" The other person gave them a look that said, Have you gone mad too? "That's our newly appointed headmaster."

Aichel Phoenix, a young descendant of the immortal phoenix, had just been appointed headmaster of Aiden University, a mediocre wizarding college.

The first thing he did when he arrived was teach everyone how to use smartphones, reorganize the departments and courses, and have the faculty write a new set of textbooks.

He fired quite a few people, brought in the Druid chieftain to revitalize animal husbandry, forestry, and agriculture, invited a mermaid princess to explain elemental energy conversion while sitting in a bathtub, opened a separate cafeteria for the Chinese students, and generously supplied his own tail feathers as experimental materials.

Then one day, another shadow appeared beside his bed, smiling faintly, its presence dangerous.

"You've been causing trouble on my turf for quite a while. Having fun?"

"Your students don't know yet, do they...?" He leaned down and twirled a lock of silver hair around his finger, saying lightly, "You can't use magic at all."

Descendant of the immortal phoenix - male lead - headmaster - looks 22 - beautiful young man - new students often mistake him for a fellow student

The gong: seemingly noble and aloof - actually juggling multiple identities and desperate to keep them secret - founder - went out adventuring as a dragon for so long that he came back to find his home gone

* [Multiple POVs] Ensemble comedy, not a mutual-attack romance.

(After consulting customer service, it turns out multiple POVs are currently only available for no-CP stories. I've changed the POV label to avoid misunderstandings.)

Bottom Protagonists, Strong Couples, Plot-Driven, Ensemble Casts

Extremely picky reader. I prefer serious stories, mostly medium- to long-length. Ensemble casts. If you're overly attached to the protagonist, please exit via the top-right corner. I like loyal-dog seme x queen uke dynamics. The top and bottom dote on each other. Pure love is the best.

Proud and Talented Bottoms/Female Protagonists (Mostly Large-Scale Worlds)

Quick transmigration, modern, and historical settings. I prefer expansive worlds, powerful and confident protagonists with an emperor-like attitude, popular protagonists, and strong female leads. No CP (male leads tend to be bottoms).
