Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 47

The Nightmare ends…
Aria’s body fell to the floor as her wand lost its mana output.

She had already gone unconscious the moment her mana went out of her control, it will take her quite a few days to recover.

As he was done with the work, Jareth straightened up his unkempt clothes and decided to leave.

But Just when Jareth was about to leave, Shin came over to irritate Jareth again.

“Hey, you aren’t supposed to leave a lady defenseless like that… how about sending her to the infirmary or something?” (Shin)

“I will pass, you do it… I am out of mana anyway…” (Jareth)

“Who are you kidding? I know you definitely have tons of mana left… I am the one who is actually out of mana! I had to cast grade-2 spells over and over to keep the endless hoard of monster at bay…” (Shin)

“Forget it then, let her catch up on her sleep, you do the same…” (Jareth)

Jareth waved his hand and left without even looking back, he needed time to recover his mana, so there was no point in standing there and bickering with Shin.

“Tch! You are so heartless, bruh!” (Shin)

“I am not your ‘bruh’… the heir of the Isaz family is indeed lacking in manners…” (Jareth)

Thomas, who came over a bit later, shook his head in helplessness when he saw Jareth and Shin bicker like that while standing near an unconscious Aria.

‘If people saw them, they will misunderstand that these two caused Aria to faint by making her listen to their endless bickering…’ (Thomas)

“hah! Then prove that you indeed like ‘woman’ and are a true man! by carrying her in your own arms!” (Shin)

“Like I said, I don’t have any interest in carrying her to the infirmary; you do it yourself…” (Jareth)

“Nah, bruh, I don’t believe ya anymore! Are you even a man!? Can’t you see that there’s a helpless maiden in distress right here!?” (Shin)

“At least she is not as helpless in terms of brain power when compared to you!” (Jareth)

“The heck ya even talking about!? I clearly am considered better than all of the professors by the students! They prefer me more!” (Shin)

“That’s because you get swayed by the simple compliments they throw at your face!” (Jareth)

A complicated look appeared on Thomas’s face as he heard them bring random bullsh*t into their bickering.

‘Ugh, these two will tarnish the image of all grade-2 magicians if someone heard them talk like this…’ (Thomas)

(Actually, Jareth doesn’t want to touch Aria because he is loyal to Shiina…)

Just when Shin was about to come up with a counter, Jareth suddenly looked in a certain direction and narrowed his eyes.

“hmm?…” (Jareth)

Shin and Thomas instantly took a defensive stance and increased their perception to the highest, but they failed to find anything worth noticing.

“Specific?” (Shin) (Decoded version: “What are the specifics?”)

“Observe.” (Jareth) (“Something’s observing or keeping an eye on us…” )

“Mana fluct?” (Thomas) (“What’s the fluctuation range?”)

“Low… hmm? It disappeared…” (Jareth)

“Tulip?” (Shin) (“It teleported out of perception?”)

“Yup… it’s left my range of perception, likely teleported away…” (Jareth)

The three of them conveyed immense information with each other in just some simple words, that’s the way of professionals.

Seeing that Jareth stopped using the ‘codes’, Shin relaxed his defensive stance and heaved a sigh of relief.

Shin wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his palm as he said in a solemn tone:

“I really am out of mana, barely have any left… I can’t afford to deal with another hassle now; it’s a good thing it disappeared…” (Shin)

“What was it, by the way?” (Thomas)

“Hmm, it seemed like a condensed mass of miasma to me… but I am not sure…” (Jareth)

As Jareth’s mana perception has been enhanced by ‘Mana singularity’ he noticed the strange presence while Shin and Thomas were completely clueless about it.

‘I have a strange feeling about this…’ (Jareth)

…

An underground church, Location unknown.

While sitting on the front bench, a creepy smirk appeared on the face of the humanoid black mist all of a sudden.

‘This is the second time in my whole life that someone has noticed my presence… interesting… very interesting indeed…’ (???)

Just now, the cult leader manipulated the lingering miasma in the ‘Ashes’ of Jacob and Lucas’s bodies to cast a projection of himself.

He wanted to see for himself about what the situation was and who had killed his two lab rats without his permission.

But after Jareth noticed his presence, he immediately cancelled his mana manipulation, making the miasma dissipate.

After all, He didn’t want to alert the prey before it was time to hunt.

Just when the cult leader was busy contemplating about various things, a dark magic circle appeared near the entrance of the church and Abella fell out of the teleportation circle.

Her shadow doll was supporting her at the moment, as she seemed to be in really bad shape.

Abella bowed towards the cult leader and acknowledged her defeat.

Her magic broom was already broken and she had suffered a lot injuries while escaping from Nathan, Her plan had failed thoroughly.

Moreover, she hadn’t even completed the key objective of the mission, despite losing Jacob and Lucas in the process.

“Well, forget it… I got to see something really interesting just now so I will forgive you this one time… By the way, did you succeed in planting the ‘seeds’?” (???)

“Yes, I have scattered them as you instructed… all that’s left is to wait and let them mature…” (Abella)

“Good, that will keep them busy for a while… in the meantime, we can peacefully do soul gathering ritual… others are also on their way back so next time the attack will be an all-out war…” (???)

Abella’s eyes widened in surprise at his words.

“Is the time for the seal shards to align near?” (Abella)

“haha, yes! It won’t be long before we can break the seal on the ‘False Dome’! All we need is to find an ‘opening’ through the ‘Hidden Dome’ pathway!” (???)

“Once we get rid of all eight seals, our benevolent god can finally descend in this world!” (???)

The smile on Abella’s face returned again as she heard his words, she nodded her head and the determination in her eyes returned.

Seeing her excited look, the cult leader waved his hand to signal that she can leave.

“Go, you are dismissed for now…” (???)

“Understood!” (Abella)

After getting permission, Abella immediately left the church.

The creepy smile on the cult leader’s face remained the same as usual.

“About time, I guess…” (???)

…

Ivan’s university.

The principal returned to the university empty-handed.

He pursued Abella for at least a hundred kilometers before she finally got the chance to teleport away.

Even after his various attacks, the only thing he was able to do was destroy her magic broom and free the suffering souls contained in it.

Once the principal returned, his face twitched as he saw the state of the university with a complicated look on his face.

The whole garden was destroyed by Jareth and the twins, the main building was destroyed by Aria’s magic; and massive holes were littered all over the ground that were created by Abella’s magic beams that he himself teleported away.

Seeing the university in ruins, the principal felt quite angry but there was no one who he could blame; after all, it was him who approved of the tournament.

‘Ugh, it seems my age is catching up to me… why did I even agree to conducting that tournament…’ (Nathan)

Later, the principal held a major press-conference to explain the situation.

He needed to provide a proper answer to the families of the people who died in this whole incident.

The whole media boiled up at this devastating news and questions about safety of the citizens started to rise instantly.

This is the first time in the past fifty years that such a major incident has happened in the capital city.

Nearly a thousand innocent people died in this incident and all of this happened under the nose of the strongest mages.

This incident was named ‘Terror attack of Abella the nightmare!’, later the incident became a major topic of debate between the politicians and the government also had to face public criticism.

Eventually, the government had to acknowledge the situation and provide proper compensation to the victim’s family members.

All of the high-grade mages that were present in the tournament venue witnessed a significant loss in their popularity.

Even Nathan’s popularity and reputation got tarnished by a lot of people.

Only one person benefited from this whole ordeal.

[Ding! You caused a minor change in the storyline!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have received 10000 CP!]

Not only Jareth get a lot of credit points, a video in which he was fighting with the twins went viral overnight on the internet, giving a major boost to his popularity.

A famous quote started to go viral on internet:

‘Roses are red, Spells against me won’t prosper,

With this teacup and leather coat,

I summon, Jareth, the goat!’
