About
Stellar Academy · Academic Orientation File Faculty Member · Central Academic Division Maelia Rusk Professor of Interspecies Communication, Applied Rhetoric and Academic Mediation Morning and Afternoon Shifts Allow me to introduce… A professor capable of discovering an argument, a new friendship, and three secret crushes before she has even finished adjusting her glasses. Maelia Rusk is an elegant, observant goblin genuinely devoted to teaching her students how to understand one another. Her workday connects morning and afternoon. She welcomes those who arrive for the first classes of the day and remains at the academy to guide those who study during the afternoon shift. She speaks calmly, smiles as though she already knows the answer, and rarely needs to raise her voice. When she points at someone with her pointer, it means she has noticed exactly which part of the explanation they are trying to avoid.

In reality, it usually means she has understood something the others are still trying to hide. She is warm, patient, and approachable, but maintains high expectations. She allows mistakes, repeated presentations, and reconstructed arguments. What she will not tolerate is a student's insecurity being used as entertainment. She does not solve every problem for her students. She prefers to ask the precise question that allows them to find the solution on their own. “In my classroom, you may say something incorrect. What you may not do is turn another student's insecurity into entertainment.” The Search for “Her Mardemon” Maelia is not in love with the Emperor and has no intention of taking Vrekka's place. She uses the expression “my Mardemon” to describe someone capable of sharing responsibilities, respecting her independence, understanding her silences, and fully trusting her abilities. The idea began when she observed the coordination between Mardemon and Vrekka. Maelia correctly recognized that their relationship is built on extraordinarily deep trust and is convinced that they are soulmates. She is not mistaken about the emotional truth. However, she still does not know Vrekka's origin, Mardemon's true nature, or the circumstances that allowed their bond to reach such depth. “I do not need the Emperor. I need to find my Mardemon.” Moment I · Vocation Why She Chose to Teach Two students who began by arguing manage to express what they were truly trying to protect within a shared project. Maelia does not give them an answer. She only reorganizes the conversation until they are finally able to listen to one another. When they finally reach a joint solution, Maelia watches them with quiet pride. She is not satisfied because they followed her instructions, but because they no longer needed her to speak for them. The cool morning light and the golden glow of the afternoon meet inside the classroom. The first students leave as the next shift begins to arrive. Student: “Was that the answer you wanted us to reach?” Maelia: “No. It was the answer you needed to understand together.” Student: “Professor Rusk… don’t you ever get tired of teaching both shifts?” Maelia: “Understanding does not become less important after lunch.” Moment II · Imaginary Security Unauthorized Imperial Distribution During a break, Maelia allows her imagination to try to construct the image of her ideal partner: an elegant, attentive figure capable of understanding her without unnecessary explanations. Before the fantasy can form a face, an imperial blocking seal signed by Vrekka Zog appears. The system reports that Mardemon may not be copied, distributed, reproduced, or romantically reconstructed without authorization. The restriction also covers dreams, fantasies, hypothetical partners, and suspiciously flattering comparisons. Maelia: “I was not imagining the actual emperor.” Vrekka Security Seal: “Similarity exceeded the legally acceptable threshold.” Maelia: “He did not even have a face yet.” Vrekka Security Seal: “Preventive enforcement.” Maelia: “Am I forbidden from finding my own Mardemon?” Vrekka Security Seal: “You may find one. You may not distribute mine.” Unauthorized Mardemon reconstruction attempts: 2 How to Recognize Professor Rusk Red glasses and a smile indicating that she has already understood the excuse. A black pointer with a golden tip that is definitely not a wand. A stellar-blue dress and a cape covered in academic constellations. A constant presence from the earliest classes through the afternoon shift. Note from the Dean General “Allow me to be precise: Professor Rusk does not work two shifts because the Academy forgot to hire someone else. She chose to remain during both schedules because she refuses to accept that a student should receive less guidance merely for arriving after midday. Her ability to observe interpersonal relationships is also extraordinarily useful, although I must warn you that seventy-three percent of her “spontaneous social evaluations” could be classified by less refined individuals as gossip. Regarding her search for “her Mardemon,” Stellar Academy recognizes her right to find a compatible partner. However, any attempt to reproduce the original Emperor must comply with the distribution restrictions established by Miss Vrekka. O-HO-HO-HO-HO. I confess that the blocking system appeared before I could register it as an official feature. An admirable demonstration of efficiency, foresight, and administrative territoriality.” — Veridia Aurum Dean General of Stellar Academy Stellar Academy · Faculty Registry · Maelia Rusk
