The Matra are disciplinary officers for Sumeru Akademiya. They serve as an executive branch and enforce the Akademiya's academic integrity.
Overview[]
The Matra hand out disciplinary actions to researchers who have committed serious academic offenses, such as plagiarism or misappropriation of funds. Once the Matra is made aware of the situation, they personally visit the offender, which has caused them to be feared by researchers, as most meetings with the Matra are known to go poorly.[1][2] They are also the authority responsible for controls regarding Knowledge Capsules transactions,[3] and apply a specific seal on goods that have passed their inspection.[4]
Unlike the Mahamata, which is explicitly comprised of alumni of Sumeru Akademiya,[5] it is unclear whether graduating from the Akademiya is a requirement to become a Matra. A message on the Akademiya Public Message Board criticizes that Cyno, the current General Mahamatra, is not a renowned researcher; on the other hand, a retort to the criticism states Cyno's tenure has been "better than when you Rtawahist were running things,"[6] which indicates that the previous General Mahamatra graduated from Rtawahist.
