Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: The Artificial Dungeon test ends…
“So, you are telling me that you are actually very weak-hearted despite being a grade-2 mage?”

Aria nodded her head at Risa’s question and said,

“Yeah… I don’t really like fighting and all, and I also lose control of my mana when I use combat-related spells…”

Risa couldn’t help but frown at those words.

This is the first time she has heard about such a unique case.

Usually all grade 2 mages are strong people who have gone through various difficulties before reaching their level of strength.

It’s very rare to see a grade-2 mage who can’t fight.

“Then why didn’t you just become a healing-type magician? Why learn combat spells in the first place if you weren’t planning to fight… Didn’t it waste your time and efforts to learn things that you are not good at?”

Hearing Risa’s question, Aria shook her head and said,

“No… I wanted to become strong to protect my little sister… but I don’t have the strong heart to do that…”

Risa and Aria kept walking through the maze while talking with each other.

“Well, you are good at potion making; I doubt anyone would say much about it, right?”

Mark appears to be quite interested in learning potion-making, so Risa was ready to motivate Aria, who was always ready to teach Mark about it all.

Although Risa gets jealous of this, she doesn’t want to become an obstacle in Mark’s way, so she keeps her jealousy on a tight leash; otherwise, she would have stabbed a dagger in Aria’s eye right now.

“I am good at potion making, but… I want to be good at other things too, sigh… I asked Principal Thomas to place me on the volcano floor… I wanted to temper my heart, but… sigh~”

Seeing that sad look on Aria’s face, Risa couldn’t help but give her a pat on the back.

“Keep working hard; you will definitely achieve success one day…”

Hearing those words of motivation from Risa, Aria felt a bit more relieved, but then she shook her head and said,

“Vice-principal Jareth has taken over the floor’s boss area… He must have noticed me being chased by those lava lizards…”

“Ugh, I feel that he might be disgusted by my cowardice and will blast me off the face of Earth once I go back…”

Hearing those words, Risa looked at Aria in confusion and said,

“Huh? Why would he do that? I think you are mistaking something… He is a very calm and, you know, ‘chill’ type of person… I don’t think he will get offended over something like that…”

“You know… I think he doesn’t even get angry at anyone… Truthfully speaking, I have never seen him get angry….”

Unlike others, Risa is not even the slightest bit afraid of Jareth, as the word ‘Fear’ doesn’t exist in her dictionary.

She has put her life in danger so many times during her training to become an Assassin that she has lost the feeling called ‘Fear’.

Now, even if a demon god himself came to kill her, she still wouldn’t feel fearful at all.

And as she is directly immune to Jareth’s intimidating aura, she can see his expressions more clearly than others.

From her point of view, Jareth seems like a spitting image of her own father!

Her father is a cold-hearted assassin in the eyes of others, but for her, he’s a loving and caring father who worries about her safety.

Jareth gives similar vibes like that.

(This is because Jareth thinks that if he had married Shiina and had a daughter, then she would have been just as carefree and free-spirited as Risa… alas, his wish never came true…)

…

Aria’s eyes widened in shock at Risa’s words, and she said in a nervous tone,

“D-don’t say that; if he hears about it, he will get angry for sure!”

“Didn’t you hear the rumor on the internet that he can control time… He even went back in time to play volleyball with the dinosaurs!”

“I bet he can hear our conversation too!”

Risa frowned at Aria’s words and shook her head,

“What are you talking about… If he was capable of that, then he would have already become a god or something like that… Why would he even dwell in the same mortal realm as us?”

Hearing Risa’s words, Aria calmed down a bit and said,

“T-then what about the rumor of him being the ‘god of fire’? They even established a cult for him!”

Risa couldn’t help but doubt Aria’s intelligence after hearing those words.

‘How was someone with such a naïve personality as hers even able to reach grade-2? She’s too naïve for this world…’

Even Risa couldn’t help but worry about the survival of this naïve woman in this cruel world.

‘I think if I told her about the kind of things that Professor Gazid writes in his books, she would go into a coma…’

Risa shook her head and said,

“Those are obviously fake rumors… And if they really have established a cult or something like that, then the police will take care of it soon…”

“Anyway, my point is, you are just thinking too much. Vice principal isn’t that bad of a person; you don’t need to worry about that…”

Only after Risa’s continuous encouragement did Aria finally return to her usual self.

While the two of them were talking and wandering in the maze, time passed quite fast, and the five-hour limit was reached.

All the students who were still stuck in the artificial dungeon got teleported back to the basement, and the professors also left the dungeons to prepare the result.

Risa waved goodbye to Aria, who was leaving with a confident look on her face, and then left to find Mark.

‘He isn’t in the basement… Sigh, it seems he ended up winning after all…’

Risa felt a bit sad that she wasn’t able to keep up with Mark and then went to look for him outside.

Although she lost to him today, she was determined that she would definitely win one day.

‘Just you wait Mark; I will make you fall head over heels for me!’

In her opinion, she can only win Mark’s heart if she makes him lose, either in a competition or in a duel.

And that’s why she’s working so hard to improve and is always eager to compete with Mark.

…

While Risa was planning various schemes against him, Mark was sleeping peacefully in a corner of the garden.

Eventually, the gardener will find him and scold him for damaging a nearby flower in his sleep.

That day, Mark got lectured about how precious plants are for our lives.

{Don’t hurt a flower,

That brings a smile to the faces of meek,

Never corrupt a soul,

That brings light into the world of weak…} (Source: Trust me bro)
