Well, yes, mother figure is what I meant. And the grad/postgrad stuff is mostly me, simply because the impression I got of Mercury from the Lazer clip is of a grad student, for whatever reason, and I refuse to believe, without evidence to the contrary, that Cinder is young enough to pass as an undergrad. Besides which, such things certainly exist in Remnant: the state of society is such that lawyers must exist, and thus qualifications for important jobs which might get people killed, thus med schools, and doctoral studies must exist. Therefore, I conclude that reasonably similar programs exist, even if people are not getting advanced degrees in ass-kicking and monster-slaying per se. But I'll admit, Beacon doesn't seem to operate much like a university.
