Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Everyday life of a protagonist… Part-4.
“Student Allen, is there a problem with the test? Why are you flailing your head so much?”

Allen was taken aback by Jareth’s words and replied in a nervous tone,

“Er… N-no, t-there’s no problem whatsoever! I-it’s just that my neck hurts a bit as I didn’t sleep in the proper posture yesterday…”

Jareth ignored Allen’s dry laughter and nervous tone and said,

“Well, keep concentrating on your test… Don’t glance around so much…”

Allen nodded and lowered his head to hide the tensed expression on his face from Jareth’s eyes.

‘D*mn it! It’s as if he has some personal beef with me! He’s targeting me on purpose! He’s not even looking at other students if they are cheating or not… ugh…’

Allen couldn’t help but lament in his heart at how unfairly he was being treated.

But what he didn’t know was that Jareth wasn’t really doing it all on purpose; he just wanted to farm some ‘Credit Points’ by messing up with Allen’s plot, and that’s why he was preventing him from cheating on the test.

In the game, the protagonist cheats in the exam by bribing the professor in a hidden quest; this is not really a famous quest, so a few people have done it.

But Jareth, being a veteran player, knows all about this.

He was originally planning to catch the professor who took the bribe red-handed, but that guy literally just ran off with the potions after submitting his resignation letter.

It seems he likely knew that Jareth must have sensed his sneaky activities with his mana detection.

That guy was a veteran grade-3 mage; he wasn’t a fool; he likely knew that a grade-1 mage’s magic detection can easily sense anything wrong happening in the university, and Jareth must have sensed Allen bribing him.

But he still didn’t want to let those potions go, so he gathered his courage and ran away with them.

He was already past 50 years of age, and he wanted to advance to grade 2 at any cost, so he risked all and ran away with those potions in the hope that he may be able to break through to the next realm with those potions.

This was likely the influence of heavely luck, though. Jareth wanted to use this opportunity to gather solid evidence against Allen and get him expelled from the academy.

Expelling him from the academy would have definitely given Jareth a massive amount of ‘Credit points’; moreover, he doesn’t particularly like the protagonist either, so he was ready to do that.

But the heavenly luck protected Allen by making that professor flee; now there’s no solid evidence.

The absence of the protagonist won’t really matter to this world in the slightest; even if Allen becomes a strong grade 1, humanity will only welcome a new ruler, but everything will still be stuck in the same stalemate as before.

As mentioned before, this game has three endings, and all of them are bad. No matter which one you choose, there is no hope for a proper way to save this world.

So, Jareth doesn’t care what happens to Allen at all; instead, he has started to think of him as a big, fat sheep that can be farmed for its wool from time to time.

‘Stopping him from cheating will definitely cause this guy to fail, as he doesn’t study at all and spends most of his day messing around with girls…’

If you’ve played a dating sim-type game, you’ll know that the protagonist never really studies; all he does is go on dates and mess around with girls to gain favorability points.

And the women in that game are shown as idiots who like the protagonist, who is basically a ‘deadbeat’ guy with no life, no goals, no ambitions, no motivation, and no personality.

Simply speaking, Jareth just wanted to break this scenario and earn some ‘credit points’ to use them to fulfill his gambling addiction in the system lottery panel.

…

Time passed slowly, and the exam finally ended.

Jareth collected the answer sheets using his telekinesis and left the exam hall with them without saying a single word to the students.

Only when students were sure that Jareth had left did they finally heave a sigh of relief.

They were already stressed enough with the exams, and now that Jareth had made them go through these hellish three hours, they couldn’t help but leave the exam hall with exhausted looks on their faces.

They had to sit and write a ‘Maths’ exam, which was already very stressful, while still being pressured by Jareth’s intimidating aura all along for three whole hours. That was nothing short of a torture session from their perspective.

And the one who suffered through it the most was obviously Allen.

After writing down his name and other details, he didn’t know what to do next. He literally was so ‘cooked’ that he didn’t even know a single answer, and since Jareth kept staring at him, his whole body trembled in fear for the whole three hours.

He already knew that Jareth had already figured out that Allen likely hadn’t studied at all, and yet he kept staring at him.

This meant that Jareth was definitely laughing at him for the whole three hours.

He stood up from his seat, wiped the sweat from his face, and headed back to his dorm room with empty eyes.

His whole back was already covered in sweat, and from others perspectives, he looked like someone who had lost something precious to him and was suffering from massive despair.

If he had studied properly, Jareth wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to make a fool out of him; it was his own mistake to trust an unstable factor like ‘luck’ for everything.

…

Unlike the students, who were exhausted and at their wits end, Jareth was feeling quite happy in his mind.

[Ding! You prevented the protagonist from cheating and dealt a big blow to his mind!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have received 1000 CP!]

‘Well, although it’s quite a low amount, even this is okay, I guess. I only needed to stare at that guy’s empty answer sheet for three hours to get these credit points…’

‘It was worth making a trip to the exam hall in person….’

Just when Jareth was going back to his dorm room, a new idea came to his mind:

‘Wait… if I can get points for stopping him from cheating, then can’t I do the same for other tests too? hehehehehe….’

For the first time since he came to this world, Jareth started to behave like a proper villain; he was already thinking about how to mess up Allen’s next plan of cheating in exams.

‘Kekekeke… I will harvest all the wool from you, my dear sheep….’

Allen, who was already in his dorm room, couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine out of nowhere.

His luck was really bad today.
