Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: The Battle for Dawn! Part-4.
In his younger days, Shin had always liked to take part in various tournaments and competitions.

That’s why he was able to progress so much faster than his peers, moreover, he has a vast amount of combat experience.

Over the years, he has fought many unique individuals.

He fought demon believers, beasts, and fellow magicians. Thus he has great knowledge of the spells used by other magicians.

Although he himself is a Frost-type mage, he still has basic knowledge about the spells of other elements too.

He can’t use spells related to other elements but he was able to accumulate his knowledge due to years of combat training and progress.

Working as a teacher also put him in a spot where he sometimes had to answer creative questions that the students asked.

Thus, he had already read a lot of magic-related books and theories.

Being such an exceptionally knowledgeable mage, Shin knew that the spell called ‘Roar of the Flame Dragon’ was just an extremely weak and basic level spell.

Among the Fire magicians, this spell has always been a topic of joking and laughing.

This strange spell has such a great name, it even has the word ‘dragon’ in it, yet this spell is so weak that it can barely be used to light a torch.

Even a basic fireball spell does more damage than this weak spell, that’s why the whole Fire magician community seems to laugh at the name of this spell.

You can even hear people using this spell as a method of insult, like:

“You are such a weak trash that even a ‘roar of the flame dragon’ spell can kill you!”

This was actually a very common insult used by the Fire magicians as they all knew just how weak this spell was.

After all, all this spell could do was create a small dragon mouth that would emit shockwaves from its mouth as it launched at the target to burn it by submerging the target in flames.

But the spell’s structure itself was very weak, it could barely be used to burn papers, let alone enemies.

Shin knew all of this from his years of experience.

That’s why what he saw at that moment made him feel so shocked that his worldview was shattered.

When Jareth used that same weak and lousy spell, a gigantic magic circle appeared, it was supported by two smaller magic circles that appeared right behind it.

Those magic circles were certainly related to that spell known as weak and pathetic.

Yet, at this moment, those magic circles appeared so huge that they made the onlookers feel a chill run down their spines.

The mana fluctuations that were being created by that one spell were so insane that it felt like Shin was standing near a massive tornado made of pure mana.

The spell that was used as a laughing matter and a joke by other fire magicians turned into a force capable of instilling fear in the heart of a grade 2 mage like Shin.

This was not a laughing matter, being able to use a basic level spell to this degree, Jareth’s abilities were truly in a league of his own.

The Cyclops who was being targeted by that spell immediately felt a sensation that he hadn’t felt ever before, he felt his ‘death’ coming at him.

He wanted to somehow run and dodge this attack, his instincts were telling him to run, and his whole being was terrified by the gigantic magic circle in front of him.

But it was all too late.

Although Roar of the Fire Dragon is a very weak spell, it’s a basic-level spell after all, the time it takes to ‘cast’ this spell is minimal.

Being so weak in damage, you can cast this spell almost instantly.

Higher-grade magic takes a longer time to cast, just like how Shin needed to buy time to cast his ‘frost domain’ spell earlier.

But lower-grade magic is much simpler and can be used much more easily.

This fact worked perfectly with Jareth, not only was he able to cast the spell in an instant due to it being so weak, but he was able to enhance it to a level where it had already evolved into a totally different spell.

Before the Cyclops could even move a single inch, the casting of the spell was already completed.

A massive head of a dragon made of condensed purple flames appeared out of the gigantic magic circle.

The dragon’s head was so huge in size that even the large body of the Cyclops seemed as small as a rat in front of it.

The gigantic dragon made of purple flames, opened its jaws and launched at the Cyclops at a speed so fast that the Cyclops didn’t even have the time to blink even once.

The dragon directly swallowed the Cyclops and his remaining minions in an instant, but it didn’t stop there, the dragon head continued to move forward with an unstoppable momentum.

It melted everything that came in its way.

Rock, sand, dungeon walls, anything that came in its way was instantly melted away and turned into molten lava.

The dragon’s head pierced right through the whole underground area and directly created a massive underground tunnel.

After burning right through the underground dungeon, the dragon head finally broke out of the ground from the other edge and still didn’t stop there.

It rose towards the sky and instantly evaporated the clouds.

For a moment it felt like a new sun had appeared in the sky.

The cloudy sky was instantly cleared of clouds and finally, the massive draconic roar resounded throughout the area from the flame dragon’s mouth.

*Roaaarrrrrrrr!*

It was as if a real dragon was roaring at the heaving and was trying to let the world know of its presence.

The roar was so loud that it created a massive shockwave.

The shockwave traveled far and wide, it even broke the glass windows of the houses located on the outskirts of the capital city, even though they were quite a few kilometers away from here.

(Jareth literally seems to have used a small-scale nuke!)

After roaring at the sky, the dragon finally dissipated as the mana supply was cut off.

But the spectacle that it left behind in its path was extremely huge.

That massive spell not only killed the Cyclops, it also created a massive underground tunnel right through the mountain range. (In the future this tunnel will be used as a transportation method by civilians…)

The walls of the underground tunnel were dripping lava at the moment and even the ground was turned into a lake of molten lava.

The area in front of Jareth had already turned into a massive lava field.

Shin witnessed this spectacle from a very close proximity, today he got to know that the spell, ‘Roar of the Dragon’ was not weak, the user of the spell was weak.

After all, in the hands of Jareth, this seemingly weak spell worked better than most grade-2 spells did.

All the students were too speechless to say anything at the moment and had no words to describe the scene.

Standing at the center of all the stares, Jareth’s face remained as cold as ever and there was not a single change in facial expressions.

This made people misunderstand that Jareth thought of this matter as ‘trivial’ or not even worth smiling at, when in fact Jareth was actually quite amazed in his mind.

Although he was unable to show it on his face, he was actually quite happy at the moment.

After all, he got a hefty reward for altering the plot.

[Ding! You altered the plot, you killed the Cyclops in the place of the Principal!]

[Ding! You got 5000 CP!]

[Ding! You got a ‘Unique card’!]

‘Lucky! I struck gold this time!’ (Jareth)
