I suppose this seems callous, but I can't help laughing. Yesterday in one of our classes we had a guest lecturer. She was the local continuity's version of Aphrodite/Venus. She was giving a lecture on "vamping" opponents. Now, we had a mixed class of males and females. Lucien was of course hiding in the back of the class, away from the fangirls. I suppose I can see what the fuss is about, he IS what society considers attractive, I'm just not attracted to him. Thank Boss.
Anyway, Venus makes a comment that "to succeed you need to understand your target."
Lucien, bless him. Makes the mistake of muttering quietly (but not quietly enough that Venus doesn't hear him,) "I wish I could understand girls sometimes."
The poor boy now has this curse that randomly activates and turns him into a distaff version of himself. As a girl, he reminds me of Asahina-chan from four realities back. Positively gorgeous with a "baby face" and the air of distress to trigger the protective instincts of just about every male in sight.
And despite my own Tiresian problem, the times his curse chooses to activate is HILARIOUS. Of course, should he figure out how to change at will, I'm sure that events will conspire against him. If he changes to avoid the fangirls, he'll have to deal with fanboys.
Gotta go, I can hear Maddy coming up here with a full head of steam.. and is that Lucien's female form's voice?

I didn't think that I'd be progressing so rapidly, but the core educational process is pretty much unchanged fom a normal school. The practical courses are more distressing, however.
Another bank robbery, this time as part of a swarm of six. Apparently unknown to me at the time, we had a stealthed observer in Professor Demimondaine. This is causing me some consternation, as I seem to be becoming a teacher's pet in the Social Engineering course. The last time she was praising me in class, I turned the praise to one of the other students, and the Professor got this PROUD look on her face...
