Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Bastille, A City Blessed By The Moonlight! Part-3.
“Er… Are you sure we should be sneaking out of the hotel like this without even telling the professors?”

At Mark’s words of concern, Risa smiled and said,

“No worries! We will just make a quick trip and go back soon~, they won’t even notice it~”

Mark sighed at those words and said,

“Do you really think it’s so easy to escape the detection range of a grade-2 mage? We are years away from becoming strong enough to be competing with giants like them…”

Risa shrugged her shoulders at those words and said in a confident voice,

“We successfully made it out of the hotel, and no one appeared to stop us, which means the professors likely already detected us but gave their silent permission!”

“So we are good to go~”

At those words, Mark finally nodded his head and stopped thinking too much.

“Well, if you say so, then let’s go…”

The two of them held hands and walked towards the central market area of the city of Bastille.

They took a bus to arrive here earlier and are now going on a shopping trip.

Originally, Risa said that she just wanted to buy something quick and they would come back soon, but then she dragged Mark into the bus, and they both ended up coming here.

But Mark can’t complain; this place is indeed unique.

He glanced towards the sky and noticed the dark clouds don’t shroud this small area, and this city is free of their influence.

Moreover, the weather here is much more normal when compared to the desert.

The old architectural style just adds another charm to this place, and the decorated market area is just so unique and amazing that even Mark can’t help but be fascinated by it.

When Mark and the group were living in the desert, the temperature would get extremely hot during the day and freezing cold during the night.

Although the clouds in the sky cover the sun, this place still gets hot and cold, just like a normal desert, which is a strange phenomenon in itself.

On the other hand, this city isn’t covered by those dark clouds, and the temperature here is much more normal and remains the same all day long.

It doesn’t get too hot or cold, which is quite a beneficial thing for the people living here.

Mark and the group came to this city yesterday, and Mark already did a bit of preliminary research on his own by reading through the books that were already placed in his room.

The place they stayed at is a luxury five-star hotel, so they have a small collection of books in all of their rooms that describe the general details of this city in brief.

Mark, being a knowledge-obsessed guy, read through nearly half of them in one night and didn’t even sleep.

Nonetheless, full-night training and learning sessions are normal occurrences for him, so he wasn’t very exhausted in the morning, even though he didn’t sleep for the whole night.

One of the few interesting things that he read about was that as this city expands with the increasing population, the dark clouds in the sky retreat further away, as if they are giving this city space to grow.

This phenomenon is so strange that the researchers in the area have theorized that these dark clouds themselves are partially conscious and can sense that the people in the city are increasing, so they need more free space.

This city is acting like a ‘Safe Spot’ for the whole desert of chaotic thunder. You will get affected by the thunder outside, but once in the city, you are safe.

If Jareth were here, he would have already figured out that this is basically a mechanism from the game world.

Originally, there was no explanation for this in the game, but now Jareth knows that all this happens due to the manifestation and interference of the ‘Laws’ of the world itself.

The whole world is buried in a sea of miasma, and thus subtle changes in the ‘Laws’ of the world happen often.

These chaotic interferences from the ‘Laws’ of the world cause strange phenomena to manifest in this world.

In the first place, the manifestation and interference of the ‘Law’ of ‘Mana’ itself is the main reason why people can become wizards and can use mana and create unscientific things by using ‘Mana’ as an energy source.

They literally use ‘Mana’ to mold the atoms in various forms and shapes to create things that would have been unscientific and unexplainable if there was no mana in this world.

The ‘Law’ of ‘Mana’ itself is a strange phenomenon that can’t be explained by an ordinary mortal’s comprehension capabilities.

Either you need to reach a realm that can manipulate the ‘Laws’ of this world itself or you will have to invent a technology so powerful that it can see through the very fabric of reality.

The current humanity is extremely far away from ever creating a technology of such a level.

It may take millions or years, and the human race doesn’t have that much time; moreover, the existence of mages and mana itself causes a lot of hindrance to the development of technology.

If the technology keeps depending on mana stones to fuel their cars and other things, it will create problems if something changes in the ‘Law’ of mana.

All technologies that are working on this ‘Law’ of mana will stop working; moreover, changes in the ‘Laws’ of this world are very random; you can’t rely on them forever.

That’s one of the many reasons why only an extremely talented person can become the hope of this world.

Reynald and Jareth both know this, and they both know that the human race can now only be saved by a single ray of ‘Hope’.

But as they say:

{Even the hope itself needs an origin; if it’s not strong enough, that hope can never provide enough comfort to the masses…}

…

Hotel Grand Moon, Parking Area.

Shin sighed and said, in a sad tone,

“Please, Ms. Aria, I beg of you, accompany me to the place where that company’s headquarters are located…”

“I have no knowledge about makeup and stuff that women use, so help me out this one time, and I will definitely not make fun of your ‘ideas’ ever again!”

Aria, on the other hand, smiled with a pleased smile on her face.

She nodded her head and said, with a smirk on her face,

“Hehe, now you know how wonderful my ideas are? Of course I am the best when it comes to making plans!”

Aria crossed her hands and smiled happily after hearing Shin’s promise.

“Well then! It seems my help is indeed very important, so I will reluctantly help you out, Professor Shin…”

Shin showed appreciation on his face while he had completely different thoughts in his mind,

‘D*mn, this trick of getting others to work for you is really effective; good thing I learned it from Jareth… That guy really does have some shady skills indeed…’

Shin himself is not a big fan of being a shrewd person and manipulating others; he likes being straightforward, as he thinks of the former as a tactic of deceivers.

But when push comes to shove, even the mightiest of people have to bend their heads to make do with things.

Shin had to use this trick to deceive Aria by saying that her plans are amazing just so he could ask for her help in figuring out the gift for his wife.

And sure enough, the plan was a big success.

Shin glanced at Jareth’s image in his mind and said,

‘You are a shady person… but I trust you, bro… just like how I trust the reels that have information on a car in their caption…’

…

Meanwhile, in the mayor’s home.

“Yes! Gimme that enchantment too! And that one too!!”

Several mages were casting strong enchantments on the mayor’s overly luxurious and shiny protective gear for some reason.

“Yes!! Although I can’t withstand the attack of a grade 1, this should be enough to get me through his aura at least…”

Indeed! All this preparation is being done to defend against Jareth’s imminent arrival.

The mayor once saw a random video where they were saying that a random fat guy was once stared at by Jareth, and the poor guy had so many nightmares from the residual effect of the aura that he became as thin as a dried stick in just a few days.

Although there is no guarantee that this rumor is even true or is just some random, made-up bullsh*t, the mayor believed in it.

He has never met a grade-1 mage before, so he misunderstood that Jareth’s aura might really be that strong.

Now he’s making proper preparations to meet with Jareth without fainting from just getting stared at by him once.

He even hired the best artifact enchanters in the city to come and upgrade his protective gear.

(Bro really thinks that Jareth is some kind of walking eldritch horror that can make anyone faint at random…)
