Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: A gamble to confirm a possibility…
Dormitory, Jareth’s training room.

It’s been two weeks since the dungeon incident, and Jareth has been training intensely in this rare time of peace.

‘Phew~’ (Jareth)

While lying on the ground, Jareth panted heavily and his body was covered in sweat all over.

‘Maintaining this ‘form’ is very difficult and taxing…’ (Jareth)

Jareth glanced at his stomach and smiled when he noticed that ‘abs’ started to appear slightly.

‘But this method is worth the trouble…’ (Jareth)

The Game that Jareth played was a single-player type game with a straightforward storyline.

And as it was made by some crappy studio, it had many bugs in the game that you can exploit to improve the character.

‘Why the heck did I even play such a buggy game in the first place… ugh, the younger me was such a cringe guy…’ (Jareth)

But now that Jareth is in this real world, he can exploit some of the bugs that seemed illogical in the game.

Jareth got up from the ground and sat in a meditative pose once again.

‘Let’s do it once more…’ (Jareth)

The best way in the game to improve a character’s mana capacity and quality was to level up by killing monsters and using Exp.

But there was also a slow and buggy method in the game, which was to put your character to ‘meditate’ and slowly build up mana and improve its mana quality over time.

This method was so slow and unrewarding that most players had concluded that the game developers must have placed this method of improvement purely to make the game lore relevant.

‘But I am quite thankful that they placed this method…’ (Jareth)

Everyone who wants to improve their mana capacity and quality uses this meditation method to slowly improve over time, this is the real and most genuine way.

Using Exp is just a cheat and Jareth doesn’t have that luxury anymore.

That’s why he has to follow the same method as everyone.

‘But I am more than a hundred time efficient than others when it comes to this stuff…’ (Jareth)

[Active Healing!]

With his insane mana control, Jareth’s grasp over ‘active healing’ improved tremendously in a short period of time and he consumed mana to heal the fatigue in his body easily.

Active Healing is a skill that uses mana to force body cells to divide and heal wounds, if you improve your proficiency to grade 3 or above you can even regenerate your severed limbs and destroyed organs.

(It only works on yourself but you can’t use it on others…)

For the past two weeks, Jareth has been constantly meditating and working his body endlessly to improve.

After his body gets tired, he uses active healing to heal the fatigue and minor internal injuries. And then the cycle of constant training and healing continues.

Jareth has been repeating this cycle for two weeks straight now.

Moreover, Active healing has a major flaw, it doesn’t create body cells out of nowhere, it essentially just forces your own body cells to divide and heal naturally.

However scientific research has proven that a human body’s cells have a limited number of times that they can divide, which means that using this skill essentially burns your own life force.

This means that if a random person uses this skill they will be burning their own life-span to heal their injuries, but things are different for Jareth.

The reason he dares to use this dangerous skill so carefreely is because of ‘Mana Singularity’.

This talent is tailor-made for him.

Mana is a miraculous energy, if your control over it is extremely precise you can use it to do anything, even genetic modification.

Jareth is doing exactly that, with the help of his mana singularity talent, his mana control is at a level where he can use it in such a precise manner that even objects as small as atoms can be influenced.

He used mana to directly modify his own DNA and with basic biological knowledge he upgraded the limit of times his cells can divide.

(Don’t ask me why he has such precise biological knowledge… just know that he used to work for a shady person and has seen his fair share of ‘things’…)

[Ding! With your continuous efforts, Active healing has reached grade 5!]

[You can now heal larger wounds…]

Jareth has been using this skill continuously for two weeks except for the time when he had to go to the classroom to teach the students.

‘I have been doing all this because I want to confirm a possibility… if I can confirm that the possibility is indeed true then I will be able to improve…’ (Jareth)

After reducing the fatigue of his body, Jareth instantly started to meditate and use his extreme mana control to make his mana run through his massive external mana circuit.

With each full cycle, mana circulated throughout his mana circuit, and Jareth could perceive his mana becoming more condensed and pure.

And Jareth’s guess indeed turned out to be true, after the hard work of two whole weeks, the possibility finally turned into reality.

[Ding! Your mana Purity has improved from Grade 6 to Grade 5!]

[Ding! You have become a genuine Grade-5 Mage!]

(Yes, without mana purity at grade 5, he wasn’t even a proper grade-5 mage yet…)

Once Jareth heard that notification a smirk appeared on his face.

‘I knew it! It was possible to do it even without Exp!’ (Jareth)

Jareth has been aiming for this exact thing all along, he wanted to confirm if he can improve his mana purity or not.

And with these notifications from the System, he has finally confirmed the authenticity of this approach.

When he was playing the game, improving mana purity was so much easier as you had to just kill monsters and put the exp to upgrade the character.

But now that Jareth doesn’t have that method, he has to follow the same method that every person in this world uses.

He has to meditate slowly to improve the mana purity of his body.

The reason why most people in this world can’t upgrade their mana purity is because their mana affinity and control are low and improving them takes talent.

Talent is not something that everyone has, only someone like Mark could be considered a genius-level talent.

Talent is something that you are born with, it can’t be changed.

Those who don’t have talent can only continue to work hard and eventually, their life ends due to old age but they are never able to reach the realm that a talented person can reach in a much shorter amount of time.

If Jareth didn’t have ‘mana singularity’ it would have taken him ten years of hard work just to reach grade-5 mana purity with Jareth’s original body.

But now with the support of ‘active healing’ and ‘mana singularity’, he was able to reach this level in just two weeks, the difference is like heaven and earth.

‘Being able to improve mana quality confirms the possibility that I can improve my mana purity faster and easier by using continuous healing…’ (Jareth)

Mana singularity has instantly changed this talentless body into a very talented one, with this talent it might not be a dream to reach an unbeatable level.

…

The first thing that Jareth noticed was that the title ‘Talentless Fool’ had disappeared from his titles and a new title had appeared in its place.

Seeing the new title ‘Jareth the goat’ shining in front of his eyes like that, black lines appeared over Jareth’s face as he was quite bewildered by this strange title.

Jareth shook his head and then glanced at his stats.

‘The stats have improved a bit it seems… well I have been putting my body under tremendous stress for two whole weeks.. it was bound to happen I guess…’ (Jareth)

Then Jareth notices that his mana affinity has also improved.

‘Did it get influenced by mana control… after all, I can now command mana as I please, so my mana affinity is basically at the same level as mana singularity…’ (Jareth)

Jareth nodded his head in understanding.

Lastly, Jareth’s eyes fell on the skills and he smiled when he saw that his active healing skill had improved.

‘It’s a good skill, moreover, its real benefits will start to show after it reaches grade 3, I should improve it further…’ (Jareth)

Seeing his improved panel, Jareth couldn’t help but smirk at his own hard work.

‘Sigh… I have improved so much in such a short time period…’ (Jareth)

Author’s Notes.

Yo! It’s your beloved author here! It seems Jareth’s improvement speed has started to accelerate at a very fast speed now!

Question of the day.

Would you dare to use Active healing, if given a chance?

1. Yes (Who cares about a long lifespan, I would rather live short but as a strong and muscular person!)

2. No (I would pass, I want to live a long life…)
