Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 106

Everyday life of a protagonist… Part-3.
Day of the first midterm exam.

Allen woke up early in the morning, took a shower, appreciated his own handsome face in the mirror for half an hour, and then got ready to go to the exam hall.

Just as he walked out of the boy’s dormitory, he found Airin standing there waiting for him.

Allen walked over to her side without hesitation with a wide smile on his face.

“Yo! You are quite early today, Airin…”

Airin nodded her head in response to those words, speaking in a nervous tone.

“Today is the first day of the exam, and the very first exam is ‘Maths’! I am quite nervous, as I am not sure if I can get good marks…”

Allen smiled a bit at her words and then shook his head.

“No need to worry; I am sure you will do well. I trust you!”

Airin blushed slightly and nodded her head. She clenched her fists and said in a determined tone,

“Yes, I will do my best!”

Allen nodded his head and replied with a smile.

“That’s the spirit!”

‘Yeah, write properly so that I can copy from you, hehe~’

Allen didn’t study one bit for the exam; he actually bribed the professor who would be in charge of the exam with the potions that Airin gave him and made him agree to let him cheat from Airin’s answer sheets.

Aside from the thirteen grade-2 professors who teach the class filled with the most talented students of the university, there are other assistant professors who teach the other class, which has less talented students.

These assistant professors are all around grade 3; aside from teaching, they also do other tasks like working as the examiner during exams or in combat-related tests.

Allen bribed the professor who would be in charge of their exam hall to make sure that he could cheat easily, and his strategy worked!

With the heavenly luck supporting him, he easily got the ‘okay’ sign from the professor after giving him a few potions that he got from Airin previously.

Most grade-3 mages aren’t rich, and their job at the university isn’t permanent either. Only by reaching grade-2 can they make their job permanent and get a good amount of money.

The potions given by Allen were helpful for that professor, so he didn’t hesitate to accept them.

If such blatant bribery was done by any other student, they would have already been expelled, but Allen is different; he’s the protagonist after all, and he’s blessed with heavenly luck.

No matter how negative his favorability falls with other characters in the game, he never gets expelled, and that is true here too.

Expelling him is very difficult; after all, heavenly luck is on his side, and you won’t find any solid evidence against him.

(Keep in mind, luck is the most broken stat to ever exist…)

…

Exam Hall.

Although Allen’s luck has always been good, that’s not true in all circumstances.

For example, if someone deliberately messes up the plot that is set up specifically for the protagonist, even the heavenly luck can be weakened.

Just when Allen was sitting in his seat with a happy and relaxed smile, Jareth walked into the exam hall, which nearly caused Allen’s eyes to pop out of their sockets.

‘What the f*ck is that monster doing here!?’

Allen has seen Jareth one-shot a wyvern and a cyclops with his own eyes; thus, he misunderstood Jareth as a through-and-through monster who can wipe anyone off the face of Earth.

Allen’s back got covered in sweat, and he dared not look into Jareth’s cold and intimidating eyes for fear that he might notice something amiss.

‘Yes, he’s the vice principal now; he must be doing just a casual patrol; no need to panic; he will go away soon…’

Allen tried to calm down his beating heart, but Jareth’s next words crushed his final hope too.

“The professor for this exam hall abruptly resigned yesterday; I will be on examiner duty for today…”

Hearing Jareth’s words, all of the students felt a strong sense of oppression.

Although they couldn’t have cheated in front of a grade-3 mage either, now that a super strict person like Jareth is sitting in front of them, they can’t help but get nervous.

The whole university knows how strict Jareth used to be as a professor, and now that he has become the vice principal, it would be even more difficult to stay calm in front of him.

He holds too much power in his hands now; a slight mistake and he can get you expelled from the university.

From the student’s point of view, it seemed like a bloodthirsty monster had walked into the class, and if they made the slightest mistake, they would get destroyed by him.

Of course, only one student was not in the slightest afraid of Jareth’s presence.

“Vice-principal! Can I cheat from Mark’s answer sheet?”

Risa raised her hand and asked in an excited tone, causing all the students to stare at her smiling face with bewildered expressions.

The others were hesitant to even move their heads to the side for a second in Jareth’s presence, but Risa, on the other hand, was bold enough to directly ask Jareth in the face if she could cheat or not.

The other students thought that Jareth would definitely get angry at Risa this time, but surprisingly, he was very calm.

“No, this is a test; if you cheat in it, will there still be any meaning to this test? It’s supposed to assess how much you have learned…”

“Not only will it let you know about your own progress, it will also help the professors figure out how much improvement each one of you need…”

“A test is a way to determine which of the students are behind on their studies… So, write as much as you know; don’t try to cheat; cheating will get you nowhere.”

Risa sat down with a pout on her face and didn’t continue to ask any further questions. Mark was glaring at her fiercely.

Jareth used his telekinesis to make the question papers float and placed them on the desks of all students.

“Your time starts now… Make sure to keep your heads straight…”

Hearing Jareth’s words, everyone got to work immediately.

Then Jareth took his chair, went to the very back of the class, and sat down right beside Allen’s seat.

“Don’t mind me; keep doing your exam without any worries…”

Allen was so shocked that his heart nearly jumped out of his mouth when Jareth sat right beside him and kept staring at his paper like a hungry hyena.

Allen couldn’t help but curse his terrible luck in his mind that day.
