Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Jareth the manipulator…
“Uh… But why only us?”

Mark was happy to learn new things, but he was confused as to why Jareth would go out of his way to just invite the two of them to follow him around.

Jareth looked into Mark’s eyes and said in a calm tone,

“Simply because you are talented, as your teacher, I want to see how far you can grow…”

‘For the sake of my life and for the sake of my future, you need to become strong, Mark, faster than ever…’

Jareth was planning to hit two birds at the same time. He will go to the desert for some important business and will take Mark and Risa too so that they can train to be stronger.

In the game, Aiza used to despise and talk badly of Jareth a lot, so Jareth doesn’t like her much, so he doesn’t want to add her to the team.

Just looking at her face makes him annoyed as he remembers the past of the original Jareth.

If not for all that, Jareth would have added her to the team, as she’s a good fire mage.

‘Doesn’t matter; I will keep working on my own fire magic, and it will be fine…’

Instead of relying on a person that Jareth can’t trust, it’s better for him to become strong himself.

‘Thankfully, I got mana singularity, or I would have died a hundred times by now…’

…

Hearing the answer from Jareth, Mark left the office with Risa with a happy smile on his face.

Jareth is known for his cold and strict nature, and for him to praise Mark means he is genuinely impressed by Mark’s talent and hard work.

Mark didn’t know that Jareth wanted him to become strong for his own sake, so he misunderstood Jareth’s intentions and thought that Jareth had a lot of expectations for Mark.

And Mark doesn’t want to betray those expectations; he wants to prove that he’s worthy of praise.

Just when Mark was busy thinking about all this in his mind, Risa suddenly said,

“See, didn’t I tell you that I didn’t do anything wrong, You just don’t believe me at all!”

Hearing those words, Mark scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment and said,

“Ah, that… uh.. I am sorry for doubting you… You know, when you pull up a lot of pranks, it becomes hard to believe you… So you should stop pranking me, okay?”

Risa immediately shook her head and said,

“No way! That’s impossible! Pulling pranks on you is my fundamental right!! If my demands go unanswered, I will protest!

Seeing the stubborn look on Risa’s face, Mark sighed and said,

“Sigh, do whatever you like… not like you are going to listen to me…”

Mark suddenly remembered something and asked,

“By the way, I heard that your cousins who are in the third year beat up one of our classmates?”

Hearing those words, Risa contemplated for a moment and said,

“Er… I seem to have heard that rumor too, but I can’t remember who they beat up…”

“oh wait! I remember it was that shady-looking guy! What was his name… er… It was Amel… Alem or something, I guess?”

Mark frowned a bit and asked,

“Amel? That’s the first time I’ve heard that name? There isn’t anyone in our class with that name, you know… Ah! Are you referring to that guy, Allen!”

“Oh, he seems like a decent guy; why would they beat him up?”

Mark doesn’t know much about Allen, as he has never even spoken to him once before, but he seems like a decent person from a distance, so Mark was surprised when he heard that the third-year students beat him up.

“Well, you know that my cousins are just straight-up hooligans who have crushes on random girls, and they can’t tolerate someone talking to the girls they like, so he likely talked to one of their crushes and then got beat up…”

“Seriously, those guys are so overprotective…”

Risa glanced at Mark and narrowed her eyes.

‘You should be a bit more concerned about me too, you know… just like them…’

Risa really wanted to say that she also wanted Mark to be as concerned about her as her cousins are about their crush, but she didn’t say that as it seemed too weird to say out loud.

“Sigh, if they keep doing things like that, they will get expelled from the university… Breaking up your juniors isn’t a good thing…”

Mark doesn’t really care about these things.

Once, they actually tried to mess with Mark too, but Mark beat the living daylights out of them, so they became more respectful in front of him.

Unlike Mark and Risa, they are not that talented and thus aren’t very strong.

Two of them are at the peak of grade 4, and one is in early grade 3, but even then, Mark can still beat the sh*t out of them with just one hand, so he isn’t really afraid of them.

“Forget it; not like we have anything to do with it…”

Seeing that Mark went silent, Risa suddenly said,

“Uh, you know, you need to apologize to me for doubting me… so.. er.. how about going on a date?”

Hearing those words, Mark suddenly remembered that the last date they went on was quite fun, so he nodded his head and agreed.

“Okay, when we go to the cities in the desert with Vice-Principal Jareth, we can take some time off from training and enjoy some free…”

“It’s not every day that you get to go to such faraway locations…”

Risa was so happy after hearing those words that she made her favorite poisonous tea that day and drank it with a happy smile on her face.

(She’s immune to low-grade poisons and actually likes to drink them as mango juice or something…. The reason she can come up with new poisons on the spot is because she can taste them to check how lethal they are…)

…

Principal’s Office.

“Hmm, indeed, there really can be some clues hidden about the false dome cult…”

Thomas, who just arrived a few minutes ago, found out that Jareth wanted to take a leave to go to the desert of chaotic thunder to find some clues on the ‘False Dome Cult’.

“Yes, when I defeated that woman named Zero in Artavia, she was saying something about the desert, so it’s a good idea to go there and investigate things…”

“If we can find some leads on the ‘False Dome Cult’, it would be beneficial for the university…”

The False Dome Cult has been trying to destroy the university again and again. They are very relentless in their attacks, and if an attack like Abella’s happens again, the university will suffer more damage.

Last time, they asked Reynald to pay up the cost of repairing the university, but now they don’t have the means to repair it if something happens again.

So, it’s better to stay a step ahead of the enemy and find out their whereabouts before they attack again.

Thomas immediately agreed with Jareth’s words and stated,

“Good, you should take a look to confirm the clues; there is no need to worry about the paperwork, and I can handle everything easily…”

Jareth himself never does any paper work anyway; Thomas is the one who is running the university alone on his own, so Jareth can just easily go anywhere without worrying about losing his job for being absent.

‘Man, I love this vice principal job. I can get paid for going on trips and doing no work at all. That’s such an amazing thing…’

While Jareth was contemplating in his mind, Thomas took the papers that were placed on the desk and said,

“I will take them home to finish things up; I have not time to waste; a cousin’s wedding is coming soon, so I gotta go…”

With that said, Thomas left the principle room in a hurry.

Just then, Jareth noticed that Thomas forgot one of the papers on the desk, and he got curious what it was.

‘Oh ho, so it’s a complaint letter submitted by a student that Allen got beat up by some bullies? The protagonist really has a lot of backers.’

Some random person took the effort to write a complaint letter to the principal just to help out Allen; this is pure plot armor.

‘Unfortunately for you… You have met me now…’

Jareth used the main computer of the university and typed a letter with an evil smirk on his face.

On the letter he wrote,

[For harassing a female student and getting into a fight with three upperclassmen, Student Allen is suspended for 15 days!]

‘Hehe, as a villain it would be such a shame if I don’t take benefit of your momentary weakness…’

Jareth sent the letter via email to Allen directly and then sent it to the chat group too and used the main computer to do it all; in other words, Thomas would be responsible for this all!

‘Allen, my friend, I hope you like this gift I made for you with great care…’
