Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 44

Broken! Mana singularity is too broken!! Part-1.
The strength of ‘Basic Magic’ entirely depends on three key things.

One, the ‘int’ stat or mental prowess of the sorcerer.

Two, the ‘proficiency’ in basic magic of the sorcerer.

And last but the most important, ‘Mana Control’ of the sorcerer.

A sorcerer who excels in all of these three key things will obviously be able to cast basic magic so strong that even higher-grade individuals will have difficulty dealing with him.

Jareth has the passive skill ‘Sharp mind’ which boosts his mental prowess when casting magic, and as he has always been very untalented at fire magic, he has always used basic magic to do his bidding.

Thus his proficiency in basic magic could be said to be in a league of his own.

With the addition of mana Singularity, Jareth’s basic magic has strengthened a hundredfold, which means his basic magic is nearly at the level of a semi-grade 1 sorcerer now.

Moreover, due to Mana singularity, Jareth’s control over his own mana is so high that he can theoretically never run out of mana as he can simply force the mana in the atmosphere to enter his body at any time.

In other words, after casting the basic spell ‘Mana shield’, Jareth became effectively ‘immortal’.

*Boom!*

Jacob punched toward Jareth but the mana shield, which was nearly indestructible for him instantly blocked the attack.

The force of that punch stirred the air and created a massive sonic boom, causing a gigantic shockwave in the air.

The trees, the table, the chair, etc. everything was swept away due to the air pressure, but Jareth stood unharmed.

Right now, unless you attack Jareth with an attack at the level of grade 1 or higher, it’s impossible to break through his mana shield.

Even if you damage his shield he can repair it with mana again, and as his mana can never run out, thus, unless it’s a single massive damage attack, Jareth can’t die.

“Is that all?” (Jareth)

[Basic Magic: Mana beam!]

A magic circle the size of a one-story building appeared beside Jareth and fired a massive beam of condensed mana at the twin brothers.

The beam was so strong that it obliterated everything in its way and split the whole garden of the university into two.

The ground cracked and debris flew everywhere at a speed faster than sound itself.

*Boom!*

The younger brother Lucas launched at Jareth, and with mana-infused punches, he launched a huge barrage of attacks on Jareth.

[Berserker Style Martial arts: Crazed Punch barrage!]

Even with those attacks, Jareth stood unharmed as his mana shield didn’t even budge.

‘With that ‘tanky’ body, of course, you won’t die so easily…’ (Jareth)

Jareth waved his hand and three more magic circles appeared in the air.

Each one was the size of a one-story building, and all of them aimed at the younger brother at once.

[Basic Magic: Mana beam Gatling!]

*Boom!**Booom!*

Hundreds of condensed mana beams the size of a building caused a massive concentrated bombardment on Lucas continuously.

The bombardment of mana beams caused the mana in the whole area to become chaotic and even the people inside university buildings could feel the changes in the atmosphere.

That bombardment was so strong that it caused a small-scale earthquake each time the four mana beams hit the ground along with Lucas.

Even the buildings of the university started to tremble at Jareth’s relentless attacks.

The outer walls of the university already collapsed due to the continuous shockwaves produced by those mana beams.

The barrage continued on and on for ten seconds.

In those ten seconds, Jareth fired nearly a thousand mana beams on Lucas at point-blank range.

Jacob who was earlier blasted off by a beam couldn’t do anything to save his younger brother and was only able to watch him get slaughtered by Jareth mercilessly.

Once Jareth stopped his attacks, a gigantic crater filled with molten rocks and charred soil appeared in the view.

*step**step*

With the usual cold look on his face, Jareth slowly walked over to the edge of the crater and glanced down.

What came into view was the ashes of Lucas’s body which was so heavily bombarded by the mana beams that not even his bones were left, just some scattered ash.

Seeing the horrible demise of his younger brother, Jacob instantly went mad, the miasma tentacles started to wrap over his body and his already gigantic body bulged up in size even more.

‘He willingly accepted the corrosion after seeing me kill his brother?’ (Jareth)

A smirk appeared over Jareth’s face as he watched the dark and sticky miasma slowly cover Jacob’s body.

‘You think you will be able to kill me that way?’ (Jareth)

“Useless…” (Jareth)

Jareth raised his hand towards the sky and cast the spell:

[Basic Magic: Glowing mana orb!]

A magic circle the size of a gigantic skyscraper appeared in the sky right above Jareth’s head.

…

(Sudden info dump!)

[Spell Name: Glowing Mana orb]

[Spell Type: Basic magic]

[The glowing mana orb is a spell used like a torch. It is used as a light source while walking in a dark underground area or any other dark place with no source of light.]

[Effect: Works as a torch and a light source. Also, ‘it mildly repels darkness’…]

…

Jareth knew that this spell could ‘Mildly’ repel darkness, but he also knew one key thing, and that is, when he casts a basic magic-type spell, his spells can be enhanced due to the effects of ‘Mana Singularity’.

In other words, the spell that Jareth cast, produced a glowing mana orb so strong that its darkness-repelling abilities instantly got enhanced by a hundred times.

The gigantic mana orb floating in the sky shined so brightly that it seemed a second sun had appeared out of nowhere.

Its rays of light which were condensed with mana instantly landed on Jacob’s body which was covered with darkness and started to burn it thoroughly.

“GGGGGAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” (Jacob)

As his body started to burn, Jacob screamed in great pain and agony, to which Jareth could only shake his head.

‘Don’t worry, I will purify the darkness inside you with my own hands, let this take you to a happy afterlife…’ (Jareth)

Jacob’s screams of agony rang out far and wide, even the people on the streets heard his wails and felt like their ears might burst apart from that loud sound.

Moreover, anyone who looked at Jareth’s glowing orb went blind for nearly three hours as a side-effect.

*Gggggaaaaaahhhhhhhrrrrrr*

With yet another beastly roar, Jacob’s body evaporated into thin air as he died miserable under the intense light of that glowing orb.

Jareth waved his hand and made the mana orb disappear, as he figured out that his work here was done.

‘Phew~ it took a lot of effort to get his done… but I guess I have a strong footing in this world now…’ (Jareth)

…

(Info dumps)

When Jareth started training he noticed a major difference from the game.

Ever since he got mana singularity, his basic magic had become exaggerated and extremely strong.

In the game, basic magic was there for just show and it never became strong no matter what.

The game mechanics and restrictions were suppressing the basic magic and weren’t letting it bring out its true potential.

Even if you get mana singularity in the game, your basic magic could never improve, only attributed magic could be enhanced.

But this bug has been fixed in the real world.

Now that Jareth is in the real world and not in a game, reality will follow the rules of its own.

Mana singularity now applies to basic magic too, and the combination of mana singularity and basic magic is just straight-up overpowered and broken.

You don’t need to improve your grade to upgrade your basic magic, all you need is a stronger mind and a higher proficiency.

Although this sounds easy to achieve, Jareth was only able to do it because of how things aligned so perfectly for him.

If he had possessed the body of someone else other than Jareth, he wouldn’t have had the passive skill ‘sharp mind’ and the high proficiency of the original Jareth in basic magic.

At that point, even if he had gotten mana singularity, without the other two things, it would have been useless.

But Jareth didn’t face this worst-case scenario and luckily possessed the body of Jareth Blaze who already had the qualifications to become extremely strong at basic magic.

All he needed was a push, and that push came when mana singularity entered the scene.

Thus, even the weak third-rate villain, Jareth Blaze became as broken as any other grade-2 mage without even needing to use the attack card anymore.

…

(Back to chapter)

Standing near the ashes of Jacob’s body, Jareth’s facial expression remained as cold as always, he glanced at the setting sun and thought to himself.

‘Hmm… do I even need the attack card anymore?’ (Jareth)

Jareth was now satisfied with his improvement.

Although Jareth had technically cheated his way out, no one would believe that Jareth achieved all of this in just a month or so.
