Expulsion Teacher

They hired Elias Kade to expel five students. Instead, he gives them thirty days to prove the kingdom wrong—and stakes his own future on theirs.At the Royal Granvelt Academy of Arcane Arts, failure is more than a bad grade. For the students of Room Thirteen, it can become a sentence. They have already been labeled dangerous, uncontrollable, cowardly, or simply useless. Their files are tied in red cord. Their expulsion papers are waiting. Elias's job is simple: observe, confirm, and sign.He refuses.Elias is a low-ranking temporary instructor with no noble patron and very little authority. But he possesses the Redline Ledger, a strange ability that lets him see where magic, technique, and judgment break down. And when he finally meets the academy's five worst students, he sees something their records missed.A girl whose magic fractures space. A summoner whose beasts refuse to obey. A brilliant theorist who cannot cast. A swordsman terrified of drawing the blade that chose him. A healer whose magic refuses to stop growing. The academy calls them failures. Elias sees five students who were never taught the way they needed to be taught.Now he has thirty days to turn the Reject Class into a team capable of surviving the academy's judgment. If he fails, the students will be expelled into brutal assignments—and Elias has signed himself into the same fate.But every success creates a new problem. The better Room Thirteen becomes, the more valuable its students look to people who see dangerous magic as a resource. Inspections tighten. Public combat awaits. Old records stop making sense. And Elias begins to suspect that the kingdom's grading system was never designed simply to measure who succeeds and who fails.For readers who love magic academy fantasy, underdog teams, found-family bonds, teacher protagonists, clever magic systems, institutional conspiracies, and hard-won progression, The Expulsion Teacher is a fast-paced fantasy about five rejected students—and the teacher stubborn enough to challenge the grade written over their lives.The academy has already decided what they are worth.Elias intends to make it grade them again.
