Chapter 7: Shocked beyond belief!
One day ago. Aiza Blaze's Dorm Room.
"So, it's confirmed now, that incompetent bast*rd Jareth will be your teacher for this year…"
Hearing the middle-aged voice of a man on her smartphone, Aiza frowned and said in a cold tone:
"But father, you said that you will somehow get the teacher changed… what if he loathes our family and doesn't give me the 'Approval Letter' just because of the tension between us…"
"He might perhaps be as incompetent as you say, but he still is a professor in the academy, right? What if he targeted me personally…"
Hearing the concerned voice of his daughter, the voice replied with a mocking tone:
"Heh, that weak bast*rd had no talent when he was kicked out of the family; there's no way he would have grown much in these few years… don't worry much; he is too weak to even fight you…"
"Be confident; you are the genius fire mage of our family… there's no way you will pale in talent against that bast*rd child!"
After saying that, the tone of the man turned solemn:
"I wanted to get him expelled from the academy to clear a way out for you, but the principal is a weird person; he doesn't care about money or any other things…"
"Even when I offered him dragon teeth, he still didn't agree; he is a tough being to deal with… he seems to be in favor of that guy because of those theory papers he published… tch!"
"Don't worry though… I will pressure him to give you the 'Approval Letter' if he disagrees… surely he won't dare to go against my coercion, haha..."
"Just go and enjoy your university days, while watching his pathetic and weak self, getting embarrassed…"
"Understood, father…" (Aiza)
Aiza put the phone down and contemplated in her mind.
The main problem of the 'Approval letter' was resolved with her father's assurance, now all she needs to do is study and focus on improving her magical capabilities.
Since her childhood days, everyone has told her only one thing about her illegitimate brother: that he was a weak guy with barely any talent for magic. The only plus point was that he was good at magic theories.
Except for that, he was evaluated as a talentless bast*rd child by everyone around her.
She didn't witness him cast spells with her own eyes, but due to everyone's remarks, she also considered Jareth weak. She has an older brother who is much more talented than Jareth in every way.
The Blaze family is one of the ancient wizard families; many excellent wizards have risen from their family from generation to generation. The current head of the family, Aiza's father is also a famous Grade 2 flame wizard.
Aiza is considered to have the talent to reach Grade 1. That is already an extremely strong being. The principal of the academy is a Grade 1 wizard, there are only two Grade-1 wizards in the whole human nation.
A grade 1 wizard is capable of casting magic that can shatter continents and evaporate seas. Destroying a mountain or creating one from scratch is a child's play for them.
With one spell they can change the weather and with another, they can cause massive earthquakes.
All professors in the academy are at the level of grad-3 wizards at least, each one of them is a famous and strong individual with a vast amount of wisdom. (Except Jareth who became a professor through bribery…)
Aiza is currently 17 years old, but she is already as strong as a grade-5 mage. Her exceptional talent makes her stay ahead of her peers.
The other students from wealthy families are around Grade-6 and even the 'Hero' is still just a Grade-6 mage, Aiza is too talented for the rest of her fellow classmates to compete with.
…
The day of the first class.
Aiza arrived in the classroom ten minutes earlier. She didn't like getting late and had a straightforward personality. She despised those who couldn't properly follow the time schedule.
(In the game, Allen had to wake up early and arrive in the class ahead of time to avoid her favorability points from decreasing….)
All the students entered the classroom one by one and eventually, all the seats were full. The clock ticked and the door opened right at the time when the class was supposed to start.
Jareth arrived at the exact time, neither one minute early nor one minute late. His timing was perfect.
The moment Jareth entered the classroom the air seemed to have cooled down a lot and the atmosphere became heavy. His intimidating presence made the students silent instantly.
No one even dared to speak against him.
When Jareth declared that he wouldn't give the 'Approval Letter' to the students he didn't deem worthy, she thought he had started targeting her already.
She knew that he wouldn't let her do as she pleased and would try to make things difficult for her, thus she didn't even show any reaction on her cold face.
'Father said his magic is weak, I shouldn't get intimidated by his bluffs…'
Aiza had already considered Jareth's intimidating momentum as a bluff. (She was right… it's indeed a bluff….)
Jareth's eyes then stared at all the students one by one, as if he was evaluating them in his mind.
When his eyes landed on Aiza, she felt a little flustered by that strong aura, but she reminded herself about what her father had said and thus she regained her confidence.
'I am not afraid of you… you can't punish a student without proper reasons either…'
After a while, Jareth started his class. He didn't even bother with the usual stuff like an introduction or some small talk. He directly started the lesson without even letting the students introduce themselves.
'He is as arrogant as everyone described him to be…'
Aiza had heard many bad rumors about him during her time in the family house. Now that she had seen him with her own eyes, she knew that those rumors were not baseless.
Jareth was indeed an arrogant guy with a bad personality.
…
(Back to the present time.)
But Aiza had never expected what she was about to see today. Her worldview is shattered by Jareth's one move.
When the wyvern appeared out of nowhere, all the students trembled in fear. Some students directly fainted and some screamed for help.
The dangerous aura of that wyvern was too much for the students to handle. It was an extremely strong monster, capable of razing down cities and towns in just a few hours. (How did the 'Hero' keep it busy you ask? The answer is:- The Plot armor!)
Aiza stared at the monster with trembling eyes. She had trained and fought against monsters like magic-wolfs and goblins, but a wyvern was too much for her to handle.
Her hands trembled while looking at that gigantic monstrosity. Even Its eyeball was bigger than her whole body.
Just then she heard a cold and arrogant voice resound throughout the classroom. That one voice made everyone quiet in an instant.
"Too noisy…"
Jareth's cold voice made all the students forget about their fear and made them focus on him.
Jareth stood there with his usual cold expression, he faced the wyvern and didn't seem to be affected by its aura one bit.
In the shocked eyes of the students, the professor stretched his hand out without any hesitation and cast a spell.
[Ding! You have used the 'Attack Enhancement Card (Advanced)'!]
[Your next attack will be enhanced by 500 times!]
[Grade-6 Fire magic: Fire Arrow!]
Jareth had cast an extremely weak spell 'Fire Arrow' that any newbie flame wizard could learn and use easily. Its lethality was extremely low.
But when it was enhanced by the enhancement card and became 500 times stronger, it was already a new spell of its own league at that point. Even Jareth was not sure of its possible destructive power.
A magic circle the size of a five layered magic circle appeared in front of Jareth's palm.
In the astonished eyes of the spectators, a massive flame beam fired out of the giant magic circle. The flame beam was the size of a truck and the flames were purple in color.
It was an extremely condensed flame with an extremely hot temperature. Its destructiveness was off the charts.
A massive shockwave swept away everything and the pillar of flame collided with the head of the wyvern in an instant.
Before the wyvern could even react its whole head burst into smithereens, the destructive purple flame didn't stop there and directly burned the whole upper torso of the giant wyvern before finally going out.
After a full five seconds, finally, the intense flame pillar went out and the magic circle disappeared into thin air.
Without his usual cold expression on his face, Jareth walked towards the broken wall and glanced outside.
The lower half of the wyvern's body had collapsed on the ground and its innards fell out of its stomach. There were still parts of the burnt meat scattered around everywhere.
A half-burnt wing was lying on the ground nearby.
Jareth glanced upwards and found that the flame beam had made a huge hole in the clouds hanging in the sky.
Without his will, harsh words spouted out of his mouth again:
"Tch! Pathetic…"
