While it is hilarious imagining Layton’s students groaning/celebrating when they find out their puzzle-obsessed archaeology tutor has cancelled class AGAIN, do you think his students ever worry about him?

When 27-year-old Layton starts teaching his first ever class (a delayed start to the term), do his new students wonder why he never removes his hat? Do they notice the bruises on his skin or the dark shadows under his eyes? Do they hear the rumours about how Layton just got out of hospital or how he spends his nights working in his office? (What exactly is he researching?) Any students caught gossiping face the wrath of Rosa Grimes, so the rumours eventually fade away. 

Sure, Layton was late starting the year, but he’s a dedicated teacher and a true gentleman, so the students and Dean Delmona let it slide. Some of his colleagues view him as a ‘young upstart’— Why on Earth is an archaeology professor assisting the police?— but he is mostly well-liked at Gressenheller.

Professor Layton is patient and sympathetic to students struggling with their work (students like Janice), while at the same time being a driving inspiration (to students like Carmine). He wants his students to succeed, even if their interests lie outside of archaeology.

Seven years into Layton’s teaching career— he suddenly doesn’t turn up to class one day. Layton’s students wait in the empty lecture hall— wait for him to hurry in with a hasty apology— but there’s no sign of Professor Layton. Hershel Layton, who has never taken a sick day in his whole career. 

Panicked, several students dash to Layton’s office. (“Maybe he fell asleep on his sofa again…?”) But when they see he isn’t there, they storm into Dean Delmona’s office, who explains that Layton rushed off after receiving an urgent letter— and not to worry, because he has his new assistant to help him. Layton’s students are extremel  relieved, but at the same time, curious about what the letter could contain. 

When a weary Layton finally returns to Gressenheller after a few days, he is met with concern and endless questions. He confesses that he was involved in solving a mystery, though he won’t reveal the details of said-mystery. He apologises for leaving his class on such short notice and promises he will hold extra sessions for them to catch up.

Of course Layton’s students forgive him. Even true gentlemen need to deal with emergencies from time to time! This was just a one-off, right…?

Right?

Three years later (several adventures and sudden absences later), nothing surprises Layton’s students anymore. Thankfully, the Professor has gotten better at informing Dean Delmona when he will be away. Whenever Layton’s students see the substitute Dr Glaive in their classroom, they assume Layton is off on another adventure. Still, Layton always reviews the notes Dr Glaive leaves for him. He will check in with his students and arrange extra study sessions if they’re struggling—

A lot of them struggle, after the Mobile Fortress incident. They notice that Professor Layton is struggling too… Wasn’t he involved in the case, somehow? Like on a personal level? And where is the Professor’s little apprentice…? 

Eventually, news gets out about what happened ten years ago at the Institute of Polydimensional Physics. Layton’s students don’t find out all the details, but they find out about Claire Foley, a young scientist and (like them) a former Gressenheller student... Layton’s lost sweetheart.

When Layton turns up for class the next day, he’s surprised to find an empty lecture hall and an envelope on his desk. It contains two tickets and a letter, signed by all of his students:

“Dear Professor Layton,

Here are two tickets for you and your daughter to visit your apprentice in America. (A true gentleman never refuses a gift!) We’ve already informed Dean Delmona about your holiday…

Please, don’t worry about us. We’ll catch up when you get back.

Right now, we’re off to have a (civil) conversation with Bill Hawks.

Take care! -Your eager students’

It seems so long ago that I started replaying Miitopia completely starring Professor Layton characters.

It took a while, but I finally created enough miis to populate Greenhorne.

Firstly, I decided that the Carefree Guide should be Mr Anderson. After all, he was happy to show Layton and co. around Dropstone.

Next, the Cheery Granny is Rosa Grimes. I based her more off how she appears in the anime than the games, as she is a grandmother figure to Katrielle there.

I thought about it a lot and eventually decided that the Cheeky Child and Worried Mother should be Button and Amanita. They aren't mother and daughter in the games, but I think it works.

Next the Lovey-Dovey Couple are Benjy and Bess. No explanation needed, if you've played Mystery Journey, you know what they are like. I'm not 100% happy with how they turned out but it's the best I can do.

I thought Dimitri Allen would be a good fit for the Sarky Bloke. He's had a hard life so he's allowed to have a bit of an attitude.

The Dubious Mayor is Bill Hawks. A political figure that is corrupt and doesn't care about his citizens? A perfect match! Making a mii of him was a terrible experience.

As for The Dark Lord, there are a few characters I could have picked, but the purple horns reminded me of the Great Witch from Professor Layton V.S Phoenix Wright. So I went with her. I simplified her design a lot, but I think it looks ok.

And just like that, I'm ready to start my adventure!!

Hershel Layton the Cleric is ready for Battle!

Is that the bisexual flag?

Anyway, my Access Key is 4N95JJC so feel free to take any of the miis I created and use them in your own game!!!
