Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: The Artificial dungeon test… Part-3.
[Grade-5 Earth Magic: Stone Gatling!]

Four small magic circles appeared behind Mark, and they started to spin and fire condensed stone elemental bullets at a speed two times faster than sound.

Mark didn’t stop; he kept flying towards the watchtower in the distance while the stone-gatling spell kept raining stone bullets at the mosquitoes that were chasing him.

For the past half an hour, Mark has been trying to get rid of these mosquitoes, but they are very persistent, and they kept chasing behind him no matter how much he tried to run.

Furthermore, the constant buzzing they produced from their wings was very annoying and loud.

It started to attract other monsters too; fortunately, Mark’s flying speed was quite fast; otherwise, he would have to face the siege of a lot of monsters.

So, to stop the monsters and mosquitoes from getting too close, he cast the ‘Stone Gatling’ spell to do a proper counterattack while retreating.

‘Okay, I see it now…’

Mark had been flying for more than half an hour now, and finally he could see the base of the watchtower from the distance now.

‘That watchtower must be a safe area; it’s just a few hundred meters, and I can ignore the chase of these-‘

Just when Mark was still thinking about getting to the safe area, his danger senses became active, and he felt ‘death’ coming at him.

‘Sh*t!’

[Grade-4 Earth Magic: Four walls of gentle protection!]

A huge magic circle appeared on the ground with Mark as the center, and Mark deployed all four of the stone walls in the direction of the watchtower before jumping to the side.

A massive arrow made of condensed water came from the direction of the watchtower and destroyed all of those walls easily, as if they were made of paper, and it didn’t stop there.

After colliding with the ground, the water arrow split into water needles that shot out in all directions at the speed of Mach 3.

Thousands of water needles hit the swarm of giant mosquitoes and monsters and instantly exploded the mosquitoes and the monsters into meat paste.

Mark, who was hiding behind a giant tree nearby, felt a chill run down his spine after seeing that scene.

The trees and the ground—everything seemed to have been hit by a meteor.

Mark peeked at the watchtower from the side of the giant tree with a nervous look on his face.

‘That giant water arrow came flying from the watchtower… That was likely a grade-3 magic spell, and it was aimed at me… If I had been hit by it, I would have definitely been eliminated…”

Once eliminated, the student will get teleported out of the artificial dungeon, and if Mark gets eliminated so early, he will likely get low marks.

At that moment, Mark remembered the words of the assistant professor.

If the assistant professor’s statement is accurate, the watchtower must serve as the primary command center for the entire first floor, and a professor must have fired the water arrow.

A professor is responsible for conducting a trail for all students in the main boss area. If the information provided is accurate, then

‘It means that the trial to pass this floor is that I need to reach inside that watchtower while dodging those massive water arrows… and if a single one hits me…’

‘I will get eliminated…’

Mark knew all too well which of the twelve professors was the most skilled in water magic.

‘Ms. Yoseh, you really have chosen quite a difficult trial for the students…’

Yoseh likely isn’t even using ten percent of her strength when firing those water arrows, but even then, those arrows are extremely lethal for people who are below grade 2.

A grade-2 mage is already very strong; dodging their casual attacks is already a very difficult task.

‘I need to make a plan… Without a proper plan, I can’t dodge the attacks of grade 2 mage… even if she’s barely even using 1 or 2 percent of her power… it’s still a serious attack for me…’

Mark was able to dodge the first attack purely because of his amazing instincts; if it were someone else, they would have been eliminated instantly.

…

Watchtower, rooftop.

*sip~*

Yoseh leaned on the deckchair and sipped the juice from the straw.

Wearing sunglasses and lying lazily on the watchtower’s rooftop of the watchtower, Yoseh was fully enjoying her free time.

She had already set up a grade-3 magic circle on the watchtower, and anyone who comes within 500 meters will get attacked automatically.

Yoseh doesn’t even need to move a single finger; everything will happen all by itself.

Moreover, she has spread her mana detection range to the whole first floor; she can easily sense what every student is doing, and she can easily keep an eye on their condition.

If she really was asked to defeat the students, she could have just waved her staff and fired a grade-2 spell, which would have auto-targeted all of the students on the whole first floor.

A grade-2 mage’s attacking range is extremely large; she can attack all students at once while ignoring the disadvantage of distance.

But she wasn’t asked to do that; all she had to do was create a difficult trial for the students that would give them a challenge but wouldn’t directly block their progress.

Only the students that can come up with a proper strategy can pass this trial, because if they get hit by the water arrows, they will definitely get eliminated.

Just when Yoseh was lazing around, she noticed that the magic circle was activated for the first time, and a smile appeared on her face.

‘As expected, Mark is the first one to reach this place… Let’s see how he will overcome this difficulty…’

Yoseh easily figured out Mark’s exact location with her strong mana detection ability, but she didn’t interfere at all.

While lying down lazily, she continued to sip the juice and enjoy the show.

‘Ah~ this is life… I am glad that I ran away from home and became a professor… Now I earn a lot of money and enjoy my days here…’

Yoseh glanced in a different direction and smiled.

‘hoh? That girl, Risa, is heading in this direction at quite a fast pace… I see, she’s directly bypassing all obstacles with her shadow magic…’

‘But that will consume a lot of mana… I wonder why she’s using mana in such an extravagant manner… does she not know that it’s more important to conserve mana in this place…’

Yoseh glanced in Mark and Risa’s directions simultaneously and thought to herself.

‘I wonder which one will be able to pass this floor first…’
