Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Misunderstandings continues… Part-1
Third floor, Boss Area.

“Well, I don’t really mind you taking over the work… In the first place, I was doubting why an ice-type magician like me had to be placed in a volcano-type boss area…”

“That’s basically a result of sh*tty planning…”

Jareth nodded at Shin’s words and replied,

“Well, Thomas was the one who made all the arrangements; he likely must have thought that the students would be surprised by seeing an ice-type boss when the area is fire-type…”

Shin also nodded his head at those words and waved his hand to say goodbye.

“Forget it, I don’t want to stay in this freakily hot place for one more second. I will just leave early. I leave the trail in your hands… good luck…”

Shin flew away after saying those words and didn’t bother staying here any longer.

The boss area is located right above the volcano on a floor made of metal hanging with the help of chains that are embedded in the walls of the volcano.

The heat in this place is extremely high, as insanely hot lava is flowing right below the metallic floor.

Looking at Shin’s fading back, Jareth shook his head,

‘Originally, Allen would have made it to this floor by now, but it seems I have caused a lot of butterfly effect, and he has already been eliminated…’

‘I should be able to get a few ‘CP’ by getting him eliminated so early…’

And just when Jareth was thinking about ‘credit points’, the notification came on time.

[Ding! You caused a minor change in the storyline!]

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

Jareth shook his head in disappointment after seeing that notification.

‘Ugh… only a thousand? That is quite low… sigh~ with this much, I will only be able to do a bronze lottery… and that lottery has weird things in it…’

Just when Jareth was contemplating whether to do a lottery or not, he detected a familiar presence entering the third floor.

‘Oh… So, Mark made it here already? There are actually around three hours left, and he’s already on the third floor….’

‘Sigh~ as expected of a hard-working genius, nothing can stop him once that pathetic protagonist is out of the way…’

The third floor is a giant volcano-type area.

There is a huge maze that you can’t skip by flying as it will cause all monsters residing in the lava to target you, which means Mark will have to cross the maze with his own strategies.

Just when Jareth was wondering how Mark would deal with the maze, Mark directly cast a giant stone drill to destroy the walls of the maze and made his way through the maze in a straight line.

He directly blasted off all the walls in his way and made a tunnel with his magic.

‘Er… why does it feel that I have seen something like this before…’

Indeed! Mark took inspiration for this from Jareth himself!

Just like how Jareth used a low-level fire spell to kill a cyclops and create an underground tunnel right through the dungeon walls, Mark was doing the same.

He did things just like Jareth; he directly blasted through the walls and made his way to the other side of the maze without any problems, with minimal use of mana.

‘I kind of feel like I am causing bad influence on the students… What if I used ‘that’ forbidden spell and the students saw me using it… They will definitely try to copy it!’

Even Jareth couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed thinking about that weird ‘Forbidden spell’ that has been collecting dust in his arsenal.

‘I better not use it in front of Mark… Otherwise, this kid will definitely learn it, and then he will spill about it to others too… Ugh, my reputation as a respectable person will disappear…’

‘Thankfully, Shiina isn’t in this world; otherwise, she would have been giving me weird glances all the time…’

Just as Jareth was contemplating his weird spell, Mark encountered a lava troll.

‘Hmm, troll’s have amazing regeneration capability… I wonder how Mark will deal-‘

Just when Jareth was wondering how Mark would counter the troll’s regeneration ability, Mark pointed his wand towards the ground and cast a giant stone spike spell.

The pointed tip of the stone spike directly pierced the Troll’s from the back hole, and it came out of his mouth.

That stone spike directly pierced the troll’s whole body along with its mana core in the abdomen, causing it to die an extremely horrible death.

Even Jareth couldn’t help but frown at that attack.

‘That’s a f*cking torture method! Risa has infected him with her weird disease!’

Mark has seen the video where Jareth used a giant glowing mana orb to counter the darkness in his enemies.

That attack gave Mark the idea that he should always aim for the weaknesses of his opponents.

In other words, Mark’s ‘back-door penetrating’ attack was actually inspired by Jareth too! Risa had nothing to do with it! She was actually innocent in this matter.

‘Er… I have turned the hope of this world into a weird mage who likes to give buckshot’s to his opponents with his magic… Ah, forgive me, Shiina; I am not that kind of man, believe me…’

Jareth couldn’t help but pray for forgiveness from his emotional support, Shiina, after seeing Mark use that weird attack.

Mark wasn’t even done yet; he encountered a lava lizard, and he used giant stone hands to forcefully open its mouth before slowly piercing it with a stone spike that pierced right through its whole body and came out from the other end.

It was such a cruel sight that, if not for the aura around him being familiar, Jareth would have mistaken Mark to be Risa in disguise.

‘He literally turned that lizard into a d*ngo while it was still alive!’

Jareth was glad that he came here to supervise and made Shin leave; if Shin had seen all this, he would have definitely fainted on the spot.

Grade 2 mages have strong mana detection.

Shin could have easily seen the whole process, and unlike Jareth, Shin is a kind-hearted person after all; he really would have fainted after seeing that ‘D*ngo-making process’ in such great detail.

If Shin had asked Mark about where he learned this type of attack, he would have said that he learned it from Jareth, and then Shin would have really destroyed Jareth’s reputation as he is a chatterbox who can’t stop talking.

…

Jareth stopped looking at what Mark was doing to make his way to the boss area.

‘Forget it; I will just give him a light punishment, and he will be on the right track…’

Jareth nodded his head and started to wait for Mark to arrive.

Half an hour passed by, and Mark finally made his way to the boss area.

Behind him, three giant stone hands were floating in the air, and each of them was holding a ‘D*ngo stick’ that he made from the lava lizards.

Those lizards were still alive and were screaming in pain like crazy, and their bodies were twitching from time to time.

Mark glanced at the giant arena-like place and said,

“From this arena, I assume I have to fight you, Vice-principal…”

Jareth also nodded his head at those words and said,

“Yeah, but there are three conditions…”

[1. I will only attack you with a low-grade fire spell, only once…]

[2. You can use anything at your disposal to defend…]

[3. If you can defend against my mana beam, then you pass…]

Mark nodded his head at those words.

With his amazing brain, he had already speculated that Jareth would likely be the final boss as the trail is taking place in a volcano and the only person he can think of who can use breathtakingly amazing fire magic is Jareth himself.

This is also the reason why he used the methods that he learned from Jareth, as he wanted to show what he had learned from him.

Mark was being a sincere student, but he was clueless that he had already caused great embarrassment to Jareth by mistake.

He misunderstood Jareth’s way of fighting and thought that it was better to use shady tactics in a fight. (Although he isn’t wrong either… but what he uses is really kind of weird…)

Mark immediately used those three hands, as well as those twitching lizards, as a shield.

Mark had come prepared; he knew that these lizards are very resistant to fire magic, and they would likely be able to defend against Jareth.

This was also the main reason why he bothered to bring these lizards here with him.

His purpose was to use them as meat shields that would provide extra layers of protection for him.

Seeing that Mark was ready, Jareth nodded his head and cast his magic.

[Grade-3 Fire Magic: Ray of Compressed Fire!]

Jareth shot a condensed fire beam that immediately pierced the lava lizards, penetrated Mark’s mana barrier, and cut Mark’s left cheek before moving away.

Mark was so stunned by that move that he stumbled back a few steps before recovering from shock.

‘T-this!?’

Mark was so shocked because Jareth had said he would use a low-grade spell, but then he used grade-3 magic all of a sudden, which caught him off guard.

If that attack had not changed its direction midway, it would have blasted Mark’s head off in an instant.

*Step**Step*

Jareth walked over to Mark’s side and said, in a serious tone,

“Rule number one of being a wizard… Never trust the words of another wizard blindly…”

Only after hearing Jareth’s word did Mark understand what had happened, and his eyes widened in shock.

‘He was actually teaching me!?’
