Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Meeting… Part-2.
“That permit to research aside… We are willing to give a ‘Leaf’ of the world tree to you as compensation…”

“We haven’t been successful in fully growing our world tree, so an item like that is very rare… You can say that there are not many of them in the world…”

Hearing Sylvie’s words, Jareth nodded his head.

“Good. I wasn’t expecting much, but you guys at least have things that intrigue me…”

‘I can use that leaf to speed up the process of making that mana nuke… I can also use this opportunity to closely observe the nature of miasma and corruption… and if I can keep the node of the seal intact, then it’s even better…’

Jareth has multiple reasons to go to the Elven Empire, and the invitation to go there came to his door on its own.

There was no need to reject such a good thing; thus, Jareth nodded his head and agreed.

“Very well, I will help you out on this one… I also have some personal enmity with miasma-related stuff, so it’s not impossible to assist you…”

Hearing Jareth’s words, Sylvie and Ava smiled happily as their goal of coming to the human empire was finally achieved.

At that moment, Jareth thought of something and then said,

“By the way, I will be bringing my students with me to visit… They can see the vast world and widen their horizons… It’s a win-win scenario…”

Sylvie nodded her head at Jareth’s words and said,

“No problem…”

Jareth got up from his seat and asked,

“When are you planning to carry out this plan?”

Sylvie also got up and said,

“Two months… The door to the forbidden lands is sealed with a powerful magic barrier, and it can only be opened once every six months…”

“So we need to wait for some time…”

Jareth nodded his head at those words and asked.

“Are you planning on going back, or will you stay in the capital for the time being?”

Sylvie shook her head and said,

“I would have liked to stay here, but my presence is needed there, back at home… As the queen is absent, I and the princess will need to take care of the empire…”

Sylvie took out a map from her space ring and gave it to Jareth.

“This is the map that will help you reach the Elven Empire easily. It’s hidden by many mana barriers, so make sure to follow the instructions written on the back…”

Jareth took the map and put it in his space ring before asking,

“Are you sure you should be giving something like that to me? This map can be used to invade your nation… You know that, right?”

Sylvie nodded her head at those words and said,

“I am taking a gamble here… If we let the miasma spread, then the elves will die from the corruption… I am taking this risk because this is the only way out for us…”

Jareth nodded his head at those words and said,

“Well… you have my word then; unless it’s someone I trust, none will see this map other than me…”

Jareth doesn’t want the elven nation to get destroyed like it did in the game, so he isn’t really planning on giving this map to anyone.

He wants to save the nation and earn a lot of credit points to improve his own power.

Training can only improve the talents and skills that he already has, but if he wants more talents and skills, he will need to gamble in that lottery system, and you need ‘CP’ to gamble.

‘I have become so addicted to this gambling system that everything I do nowadays is based on whether I will get CP out of it or not…’

Hearing the promise from Jareth, Sylvie was relieved. Although she doesn’t know if Jareth will really keep this promise, she doesn’t have any other choice.

Her nation and her family need help, so she had no choice but to trust Jareth’s words.

With all the negotiations done, Sylvie and Ava left the university and went to the train station in a car to board a train and return the same way they came.

They don’t have much time after all; they need to make preparations for a possible war that can start any time now.

Once the miasma corrupts the seal on the forbidden land and invades the empire, anything can happen.

The good thing is that Reynald isn’t in the capital city right now, so he never noticed the two elven women.

He was enjoying his time with his wife and daughter on a private beach far away from the capital city.

Looking at the two’s leaving figures, Jareth was impressed by Sylvie’s decisive nature.

She didn’t let Ava talk much for fear that she might create some misunderstandings, and she only talked about the things that were important.

Even though she was clearly at a disadvantage as she was the one asking for help, her resolve never wavered.

‘It’s rare to meet people who aren’t afraid of me… The game really doesn’t do her justice… She’s more impressive than in the game…’

…

In the train.

“Phew~~ Finally, I can breathe properly… That was so difficult…”

After the train left the capital city, Sylvie finally relaxed her tensed nerves and leaned back on her seat’s back.

Ava looked at her aunt and asked in confusion,

“Uh, what are you talking about… I don’t think he seemed dangerous… Actually, he seemed more like an ordinary person… I couldn’t even feel mana fluctuations from him…”

“My mother had such strong mana fluctuations, on the other hand…”

Hearing Ava’s words, Sylvie sighed and said,

“Of course you can’t sense mana fluctuations from him… neither could I… That guy is insanely power full after all…”

“If not for my instincts… I could have never sensed how extraordinary he is…”

Ava doesn’t have the combat instincts of a veteran warrior like Sylvie, so she obviously couldn’t sense it.

“Fortunately, he seems like a decent person… But we will need to see him in action to trust him more… But one thing is sure: he is indeed a strong grade 1 mage…”

What Sylvie didn’t know was that Jareth is barely even in Grade 3 right now, and she has misunderstood him for a Grade 1 just like everyone else!

Moreover, basic magic isn’t that effective against miasma either, so Jareth is literally the last person that she should have hired for this work.

Without his basic magic, he’s quite weak!

…

“By the way, was it really a good idea to give the map to him?… That thing can easily be used to locate our empire…”

Hearing Ava’s words of concern, Sylvie shook her head and said,

“Nope, that was the best ever possible choice, actually…”

“Humans have a technology called ‘Satelite’… that thing flies beyond the skies, and it can monitor everything that’s happening on the ground from thousands of kilometers high in the sky…”

“Although that thing can’t see our nation because of the magical barriers, it won’t be long before humans can create a new version of it that is equipped with the ability to see through illusion barriers too…”

Sylvie looked into Ava’s eyes and said,

“Sooner or later, our nation will be discovered, and we will have no choice… Before that happens, we need to establish a friendly relationship with the human race…”

“If a war started… Elves will go extinct… Sometimes, humans can be crueler than demons, actually…”

Sylvie has caught many human poachers in the forest before, and most of them betray their comrades when push comes to shove.

“Once I accidentally locked up two humans in a cave and forgot about them, they ended up killing each other and ripping apart their internal organs like brutal ‘animals’…”

“I later asked a fellow comrade to use memory-reading spells and figure out the cause of their deaths… It turned out they both liked the same women, and they killed each other over that matter…”

The more Ava listened to Sylvie’s words, the more shocked she felt.

Elves live a very long life, due to which their urge for mortal desires like love, hate, lust, etc. is much suppressed.

So it’s quite a shocking thing to hear that two people ripped apart each other’s internal organs and bit each other to death like crazed animals over a petty argument about who loved a woman more.

“I-I think we should keep a fair distance from humans even after we make an alliance with them… They sound more like demons than demons themselves…”

Sylvie nodded her head at Ava’s words and said,

“Actually, humans tell their children stories on how to murder and massacre hordes of demons…”

(She’s referring to children’s fairytales where a prince in shining armor slaughters demons to protect his love…)

Hearing Sylvie’s words, Ava felt quite fearful as she thought,

‘Humans are scary…’

…

Jareth’s dorm room.

[Ding! You indirectly caused a heroine to change her mind and stopped her from getting with the protagonist!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You received 3000 CP!]

‘Huh? What just happened?’

Jareth himself didn’t know that Ava has become scared of humans, so she will not be getting together with Allen now, thus the plot has changed again indirectly.

If Jareth knew about it, he would have given a thumbs up to Sylvie, saying,

‘Nice assist, partner!’
