Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 213

Chapter 213: The Military Camp… Part-3.
“Would you like to take a helicopter? As the person in charge, it won’t be much of a problem if I report that one helicopter went missing after crashing… You can take one if you feel like it…”

While passing by the helipads, the general offered Jareth a military-grade helicopter for free.

But Jareth had no use of it as it’s too slow for his speed, and he doesn’t know how to drive one, so there’s no point in having it.

Instead, his float magic is several times much faster than it, and sitting in a helicopter feels like traveling on a turtle’s back; it’s too slow for his liking.

Thus, Jareth shook his head,

“No, I wouldn’t want to trouble the old general with such unreasonable requests… By the way, have you already prepared what I had ordered?”

Hearing the question, the general nodded his head immediately and led the way.

“I was surprised when you suddenly had such a request, but I guess for us warriors, the ways of powerful wizards like you are just too out of the world…”

“I can’t fathom your thoughts at all… I am quite sure that if we were on war and you were the general on the opposite side, I would lose extremely fast even with my years of experience!”

Jareth smirked at those words of flattery.

“Haha, you flatter me, general; surely I am still young and don’t have as much experience as you in commanding troops…”

Although Jareth knew that the other party was just doing pointless flattery, he didn’t point it out and just went with the flow.

The other party is going to such lengths to flatter him; there’s no point in breaking this situation; it’s better to take more benefits out of him instead.

Jareth not only got the map out of the general, he even took a lot of supplies, magic bombs, etc. for his personal use.

Although he was tempted to take that helicopter too, he doesn’t have the time to play around with it right now.

“Here, this is what you asked us to forge for you…”

This military camp is massive, and it has all types of facilities; it even has a small forge that can be used to create various different kinds of items.

Jareth asked the general to forge a strong and gigantic alloy sword for him.

The sword was so big that its size was twice that of a helicopter; looking at it, anyone can tell that it’s not something that humans can use to swing; it’s too big to even be called a sword.

It’s just a thick sheet of metal that an ordinary person can’t even swing once with all their strength!

[Basic Magic: Telekinesis!]

Jareth lifted his finger, and the giant sword flew into the sky instantly, as if it had no weight at all.

*BOOM!*

Jareth made it fly towards the sky and made it do tricky stunts in the sky similar to how fighter jets perform various complex maneuvers in the air.

Its speed was so fast that it immediately broke the sound barrier and caused a massive sonic boom as it took off into the sky.

Just the air pressure created by it was enough to cause the clouds in the sky to disperse in all directions as it cut through them like butter in an instant!

The old general and the rest of the high-ranking officers are all grade-2 warriors, yet even they couldn’t follow the sword movements in the sky as it was way too fast to follow with the naked eye.

“T-this!? D-don’t tell me-”

Jareth nodded his head and spoke before the general could even finish his sentence.

“Yes, this is going to be our ride in the journey ahead! Helicopters and planes are a bit too slow for my liking, and they make it difficult to launch magic as they restrict movement…”

“They are more suited for soldiers, not for mages; this giant sword suits me more instead…”

A smirk appeared over Jareth’s face as he controlled that sword and made land on the ground.

With Jareth’s telekinesis controlling it and the support of mana singularity, the speed at which he can travel with this sword is immense, and he can even carry the trio with him on this sword without any problems.

Moreover, in case of emergency, he can use the legendary kamikaze technique to make the sword crash on the ground with massive momentum.

The explosion it will cause will be much stronger than a massive meteor hitting the land and causing a gigantic crater.

Just by seeing that speed of the sword, the old general could feel one thing in his bones,

‘That sword alone is enough to wipe out my entire military camp at once…’

The old general gulped his saliva and finally realized the horror of a grade-1 mage, as this is the first time he has seen a grade-1 mage use his magic at such close range.

Originally, the general used to think that mages are weak of body, so it will be very easy to deal with them if you manage to get close, and this is indeed an effective strategy.

But after seeing the speed of that sword, he lost all hope of ever beating a grade-1 mage in combat.

‘Forget about getting close; that sword is so fast that even if I were standing just a few inches away from him, that sword would hit me first before I could even land a direct punch on him…’

At that moment, the old general gave up the idea of even asking Jareth to help out in dealing with a few monsters nearby in return for the map he had offered.

After all, it’s better if this massive calamity leaves this place faster; there’s no point in making a walking nuclear missile stay at your home for too long, as you will always be living in fear of it going off at any random moment.

If for some reason Jareth got offended, the entire military camp will be wiped off the face of earth along with the several mountain ranges nearby in just one attack.

No one will even be able to tell whether this place even had mountains nearby before, as it will become a complete plain land shattered to bits with a gigantic crater in the middle.

…

A few hours went by, and Jareth went over to visit various facilities and took a small tour of the military camp before deciding to leave.

It’s already noon; if they don’t move now, they will need to sleep here in the camp tonight, which will delay their journey.

Jareth is not ready to waste so much time on pointless things.

He just gave a few tips to the newbies who were training in the training area as he passed by them, then he grabbed the three kiddos who were wandering around at random and took them with him.

The group finally boarded the flying sword and waved their hands to say goodbye to the general and the other newbies.

Jareth used his telekinesis to create a bubble of protection around them so the three didn’t get blown away by the massive air pressure, and then the flying sword took off at an insanely high speed.

Within a matter of seconds, Jareth and the group disappeared into the horizon.

Seeing the fading figure in the distance, the old general heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

The nearby officers also did the same, and everyone slumped down on nearby chairs, looking extremely exhausted.

The newbies who had no idea what was going on had a confused look when they saw their superiors behave so weirdly.

Seeing their confused looks, the general waved his hand and ordered them to leave for their training grounds.

Once the newbies left, the officers finally relaxed down completely.

“Phew, I thought I was going to suffocate to death…”

“Standing in his presence, I dared not even breathe too loudly…”

“His aura was really something else… It felt as if a predator was staring at me when our eyes met for a moment…”

Hearing the words of his subordinates, the old general also sighed and thanked his ancestors that his military camp survived another day and the calamity had left.

If it was a grade-2 mage, they wouldn’t have been so tense, but grade-1 mages are entirely different cases. They are not bound by any laws or rules; they do whatever they like to do and no one can stop them.

Although Jareth was behaving in a humble manner, they all knew that he was doing it all just for the sake of being polite.

“Thankfully he had those three children with him… Perhaps that’s why he was so mild and polite today… I guess even as a grade-1 mage, he’s still human after all…”

“That’s a relief…”

The general misunderstood that Jareth was being so polite because Mark and the others were accompanying him, and he didn’t want to set a bad example in front of them by being rude.

Thus, the general and the others were saved from him.

Unknowingly, Jareth created another misunderstanding for himself.

People misunderstand him when he behaves arrogantly, and they still misunderstand him when he behaves more politely. He really can’t catch a break, it seems.

“Okay, enough dilly-dallying; go back to your positions; there’s been a lot of monster activity lately!”

“Make sure you keep your eyes open when patrolling; we don’t want the entire camp to get destroyed by monsters overnight due to a lack of discipline!”

After the general’s statement, everyone regained their composure and resumed their regular work routine.
