Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 37

Forbidden spell!?
Jareth’s Training Room.

Jareth glanced at his Credit points and just when he was about to go for a silver lottery, he suddenly noticed that a new item had appeared in the shop.

[Attack Enhancement Card (Advanced): 4000 Cp] (In stock: 1)

‘Oh! I can buy a card from here now! But it only shows one in stock?’ (Jareth)

‘This system panel that I have is very strange… how do I get it re-stocked then? Can I only possess one of these cards at one time? And it will restock after I use the previous one?’ (Jareth)

Jareth’s head was filled with questions.

Right now he has no idea about what’s going on with this system of his at all.

In the game, you could buy an unlimited number of these cards by just using in-game currency, but now he is being restricted to just one card at a time.

‘Has this system panel got corrupted after I came here?… things are really strange…’ (Jareth)

Jareth shook his head and stopped thinking further, there was no point in thinking too much about things that you don’t have enough information about.

[Ding! Are you sure you want to purchase ‘Attack Enhancement Card (Advanced)?]

[Yes or no]

‘Yes…’ (Jareth)

[Congratulations! You have purchased an ‘Attack Enhancement Card (Advanced)!]

‘Hmm, as for the rest of the Cp, let’s just buy a bronze lottery with it, perhaps I might get something interesting…’ (Jareth)

[Ding! You have bought a bronze lottery!]

[Congratulations! You received the ‘Forbidden spell: Test*cular Torsion!’]

Looking at that notification, Jareth’s mouth opened wide in sheer shock as a black line appeared all over his face.

The forbidden knowledge about how to use that spell was directly forced into his mind and Jareth’s expression turned weird instantly, the corners of his mouth twitched again and again.

‘The f*ck!? Mind pollution!!’ (Jareth)

Jareth saw horrible diagrams and images appear in his brain as received that forbidden knowledge!

‘This system is corrupted! D*mn it! It’s showing me weird things!’ (Jareth)

Jareth had seen this spell before in the game, the game devs added it just for joke’s sake and it was used to stun the enemy momentarily, but Jareth had no idea that he would receive this dark and twisted spell all of a sudden.

‘Now I know why the game character would have a weird expression on its face whenever I made it learn this spell… it f*cking shows weird images in your head out of nowhere!!’ (Jareth)

Jareth’s eyes which used to look at the lottery system with excitement have now changed in just a few minutes.

Now he dare not recklessly gamble.

‘I-I would never do a bronze lottery ever again… similar type of hideous things are likely hidden behind that harmless looking lottery…’ (Jareth)

Jareth placed his hand on his face and confessed his sins to calm his mind down.

‘Forgive me Shiina, I promise I am not that kind of man…’ (Jareth)

…

Market area, a dark alleyway.

“Hmm, so someone broke my illusion trap, hehe….” (Nathan)

Nathan has a hobby of laying traps in random places to make the students suffer.

His hobby has traumatized many generations of wizards who have graduated from this university.

But he is not a cruel person either, he places a reward in these traps, those who overcome the challenge can get the reward and improve themselves by leaps and bounds.

‘Ugh… this trap isn’t broken… it’s obliterated… such barbarism…’ (Nathan)

Nathan’s face twisted in doubt.

‘A student can’t do something like this… and this condensed aura…’ (Nathan)

Being a genuine grade-1 sorcerer Nathan immediately figured out everything.

‘It must have been a student who got stuck in the trap and then that guy destroyed the whole illusion from outside…’ (Nathan)

What shocked Nathan the most was the fact that he had worked hard on making the illusion as solid as possible from the outside.

Without the mana control at the same level as his, no one can break through this illusion from the outside.

‘Ah, so that’s how it is… now everything makes sense!’ (Nathan)

Nathan narrowed his eyes at the mana fluctuations and thought to himself.

‘It must be that his mana control has been very high since he was young and thus, he was always able to hide his real strength from everyone…’ (Nathan)

‘Perhaps he did so to hide his talent from his family… but that doesn’t matter to me… what’s more surprising is that he was able to hide in front of me too…’ (Nathan)

Nathan immediately made up things in his mind and misunderstood Jareth as a talented person.

He originally asked Jareth about the reason for how he was able to hide his strength and Jareth had said that it was due to some rare artifact.

‘It wasn’t an artifact… from the start, his mana control has been at a higher level… hehe, interesting!’ (Nathan)

Due to this misunderstanding, Nathan has completely regarded Jareth as a mana control genius at this point.

Thankfully Jareth already has the ‘mana singularity’ talent, otherwise, his cover might have been blown away easily.

Now even if Jareth tried to prove to others that he is actually a weak person, other’s won’t believe him as they will feel that his mana control is extremely good.

It turns out, that in pursuit of strength, Jareth somehow backstabbed himself and blocked his own path of redemption.

Now he can’t tell the world that he is weak even if he wanted to.

Others will think that he is joking if he says that.

…

A hidden underground church, location ‘unknown’.

A dark black mist condensed into a humanoid shape and glanced at the girl who was kneeling in front of the statue of Azazel.

The Girl seemed to be in her teenage years in appearance, but her eyes carried wisdom that a young person could never have.

The black mist stared at the kneeling girl for a while and then said in a hoarse beast-like voice.

“The previous attempt to lure that old fox failed… even after sacrificing a wyvern and a Cyclops we still didn’t gather any considerable information on the powers of that Old Fox…” (???)

“We need to shake things up more wildly this time, even if we can’t lure out that old fox, gathering as much information as possible about all the professors of that university is important…” (???)

The girl who was kneeling earlier got up from the ground and smirked. A creepy smile appeared on her young-looking face. (She just looks young, she is actually in fact an old granny…)

“You want me to launch a night parade then?” (???)

The dark mist nodded its head and gave its permission.

“Abella, I order you to gather as much information as possible about the ‘hidden dome’ from the secret archives of the university…” (???)

“Also take those ‘two’ with you, other members are busy with other missions so I can’t give you more manpower… take more of the corruption vials from the armory…” (???)

“Use them to create a huge night parade, when that old fox is distracted, you need to look for the information we need…” (???)

“Without that information, we can never create the path needed for our benevolent god’s descent…” (???)

Abella smiled creepily and nodded her head.

“Understood, Master!” (Abella)

She brought out a broom from her space ring.

The broom had hideous and distorted humanoid face-like patterns etched on it.

When the broom appeared those faces contorted horribly and screamed in pain in a suppressed and low voice.

*k-KILL me.. Free me… de-death.. ravage…k-kill…*

Each facial pattern on that magical broom represented the innocent soul that was forcibly stuffed inside that broom.

Each of those souls belonged to innocent people who were tortured and killed by Abella.

Without caring about his screams, Abella sat on the broom and flew out from the underground church with a crazy smile on her face.

The dark mist stared at Abella’s retreating figure for a while and then glanced at the gigantic statue of the demon.

“Oh, my benevolent god! Bless that pitiful lamb with luck…” (???)

The stone statue’s eyes suddenly turned dark red and blood started to flow out of it like a fountain.

That was the sign of a successful demonic blessing.

Author’s Notes.

Yo! It’s your beloved author here! Jareth literally blocked his own way back now.

Even if he just stood there and tried to explain his situation with the help of a long presentation, others would only look at him with weird eyes and wouldn’t believe him at all.

This abyss of misunderstandings gets deeper and deeper every single day!

Question of the day.

Would you like to ride a magic broom that is enchanted with the agony of thousands of innocent souls?

1. No (I will pass…)

2. Nope (I don’t wanna get nightmares…)
