Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong

One day before the dungeon raid. 

Near the teleportation altar.

*chatter**chatter*

"Professor Shin, will you also help us in fighting the monsters?" 

"If you helped us, it would be so easy to conquer that dungeon!"

The students chattered endlessly and talked with Shin in an excited and happy tone.

Shin looked at the excited faces of the students and replied in a helpless tone:

"No no, it's a low-rank dungeon, all the students will be allowed to explore it freely and learn about actual combat, the professor can't help you in this matter…" 

"I am being sent there to keep watch and maintain all of your safety, you mustn't overestimate yourself by thinking that I will also help you all in your fights…"

"This is a rare learning opportunity, so don't waste it and try to get as much as you can, out of it…" 

"Understood, Professor Shin!"

Even though the students were not going to receive much support from the teachers, it was still relieving to have two Grade-2 mages watching your back and ensuring your safety. 

(These little kids are literally receiving the highest level of security which even the president of the nation rarely gets…)

This is also the main reason why most parents can rest assured about their children's safety at the university. Grade-2 mages patrol the university, after all, no place could be considered more secure than Ivan University. 

(Although it was invaded by that wyvern, even that wyvern was disposed of ultimately, which in return boosted the reputation of the university even more…)

…

While Shin was surrounded by many students and was having happy conversations, Jareth arrived at the exact assigned time, neither was he early nor was he late.

The moment he arrived on the scene, the happy and relaxed atmosphere disappeared instantly. All the students went silent and hurriedly formed a proper straight line to show discipline.

They knew that Shin was a friendly person and would forgive them for not following the discipline, but Jareth was different. His gaze alone was intimidating enough to make people shiver, thus they didn't want to get reprimanded by him at all.

(His image in the mind of the students was that of a scary, strict, and strong mage…)

Seeing the students follow proper discipline, Jareth nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Good, it seems this year's batch is more well-behaved and disciplined than the previous ones…" 

Hearing the slight praise from Jareth made everyone feel relieved. 

Just when the atmosphere was about to relax a bit, Shin commented in an annoyed tone:

"Tch! They are children, what's the big deal, why not let them have some fun? As expected of a 'wannabe Mr. Perfect'…" 

Listening to Shin's provoking remarks, Jareth tilted his head slightly and said in a calm tone.

"What bad luck to hear the wailing of a wild boar the first thing in the morning, even the refreshing air has been contaminated by your foul breath…" 

Several blood veins appeared on Shin's forehead instantly, he clenched his teeth and bit his lips. His face became hideous as he heard Jareth's reply:

"What did you say to me!?..." 

At Shin's angry voice, Jareth raised his hand and waved It like he was shooing some dog away.

"Go away, I don't want to see your face the first thing in the morning…" 

Shin clenched his fists and replied in an angry tone:

"It's not like I want to see you either… d*mn it! Why do I have to be the one to go with this bast*rd!"

"I want to say the same too, I don't want to be with you either… after entering the dungeon tomorrow, just stay as far away from me as possible…" 

"Yeah, yeah, I was going to do the same even if would have not told me to… I have no interest in accompanying you…" 

'Good, this way I will be at a lower risk of being discovered. If he stays close to me it will be easier for my secrets to be found out by him…' 

'It's better if he stays as far away as possible…' 

While the two professors were bickering back and forth, the students were standing with shocked looks on their faces. 

This was the first time they had seen Professor Shin get so angry at someone. All the students could sense that Shin was barely controlling his anger and if he snapped he would attack Jareth directly.

And then it will become an unresolvable matter. 

In their opinion, Jareth may have a bad personality but he wasn't weak at all. He had killed a wyvern in one attack.

This would mean that if Jareth and Shin fought, it would become a fight with no clear victors and the damage caused to the property would be too huge to estimate.

…

After a few seconds of awkward silence, Jareth glanced at the students and said in a cold tone.

"What are you all waiting for? Start entering the teleportation circle in groups of ten… this teleportation circle is headed to a hotel on the outskirts of the capital, don't waste time and hurry up…" 

"Understood!" 

After receiving the approval, the students started to climb the teleportation in groups of ten each time. (The maximum capacity of this teleportation altar is 10 people at one time…)

Shin also went with the first group of students as it was his duty to lead the way forward while Jareth would safeguard the back.

Although Shin and Jareth both were not on good terms they still needed to fulfill their duties properly.

Shin was exceptionally good at making strong barriers that could block strong attacks, thus without any discussion with Jareth he immediately assumed his role of the 'front guard' instantly.

And since Shin had already taken the front row, Jareth had no choice but to follow the group from behind.

'Well, it will be good this way… I will not have to fight much if I stay on the backside…the only time I will need to interfere is when I have to change the plot to earn CP…' 

'Getting involved in unnecessary fights in that dungeon will be useless for me as that will not generate any CP…' 

…

After a few minutes of wait, Jareth also teleported away with the final group of students.

The teleportation altar shined brightly and a sense of weightlessness enveloped Jareth's body. He felt like he was floating in zero gravity, but that sensation only lasted for a few seconds and he found himself standing on a different altar.

Jareth got down from the altar and raised his head to look at the giant signboard placed nearby.

[Hotel 'Outer Core', welcomes you!]

'Ah, here we go again, with a new event, new difficulties are sure to come… sigh~' 

Jareth shook his head and saw Shin leading all the students to the main building of the hotel.

The hotel staff handed one room key to each of the students as they passed by in an orderly line. 

Even the hotel staff was impressed at the disciplined nature of these students. They also thought that Ivan University was indeed quite unique, all the students studying there were so well-mannered and disciplined after all.

What they didn't know was that the students were in fear, and didn't want to get beaten by Jareth thus they were unconsciously being so well-mannered.

If it was only Shin accompanying them, they would have already made this place worse than a fish market.

After handing the keys to the students, one of the staff ladies also handed two keys to Shin and said.

"Uh, these are the keys for the two professors…" 

"Why are you giving both of them to me, just give the other one to that guy with an arrogant face…" 

The staff lady glanced at Jareth who was shrouded by a cold aura and in fear they hurriedly left after giving both of the keys to Shin.

Shin clicked his tongue in annoyance and threw the other key at Jareth's face.

"Here take it…" 

Jareth caught the key and brought out his 'sanitizer' to clean the key from Shin's touch.

Seeing Jareth's openly mocking behavior, Shin was so angry that he wanted to smash Jareth into the ground with one punch.

But he somehow controlled his anger and hurriedly left before his anger could leak out uncontrollably.

"D*mn it all!" 

…

Author's Notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here! Its really quite hilarious to see Shin and Jareth go for each other's throats like this at every possible moment, don't you think so too?...

Question of the day.

Have you also pretended to be disciplined in your school days when the strict teacher was nearby?

1. Yes (Didn't want to get in trouble so just did it…)

2. No (I bunked his class)

By the way, don't forget to use those power stones!!
