Aiza's Dilemma..
"Tch! Pathetic…" (Jareth)
A look of annoyance and disappointment appeared on Jareth's face. All the students who saw this scene were so shocked that they didn't dare even move from their place.
Without caring about the chaos Jareth had caused in the onlooker's minds. He walked back towards the front of the smart board and glared at the students with cold eyes.
"Why are you guys squirming on the ground… get back to your seats… the class isn't over yet!" (Jareth)
At Jareth's harsh scolding, all the students hurriedly got up and sat back in their seats with fearful looks on their faces. They had just seen Jareth kill a wyvern with a basic-level spell that was supposed to be one of the weakest spells in existence.
Jareth's one attack had shattered their worldview from the core.
All the students who were originally not interested in learning theories also started to concentrate on theory.
Everyone had only one thought in their mind right now.
'The professor is Too Strong!!'
Due to Jareth's one-time usage of the enhancement card his attack was strong enough to kill that wyvern a supposed Grade-2 monster, in just one attack. This is already an extremely remarkable feat in other's eyes.
But only Jareth knew about the turmoil of emotions he was facing in his head right now.
…
[Ding! You altered the supposed starting plot of the game by defeating the wyvern with your own hands!]
[Ding! You have received 10,000 Credit points!]
'The f*ck just happened!?' (Jareth)
Earlier when the wyvern appeared, he wanted to just scare it off and prove his strength to avoid expulsion. He had known about the capabilities of the enhancement card from the game.
But he never expected that the enhancement card would become so destructive when used in real-life moments. This was totally out of his predictions.
He was expecting to get the destructive power of a mere grade-3 spell, but what he ended up with was the insane destructive force of a peak grade-2 spell.
Even the flames that should have been blue had turned into dark purple as if they had a unique characteristic of their own.
(Grade-2 or above level spells have a 'Unique' characteristic that resembles the user in some way or other….)
'But one thing is for sure… this body doesn't know the word 'fear' at all...' (Jareth)
When that wyvern stared at Jareth, he didn't feel any fear at all, instead, he felt like his arrogance was being challenged.
(Due to the character trait 'Arrogant' Jareth is so arrogant that he doesn't fear anyone in the world, he would rather die than bend his knees in front of others…)
'Moreover, I even scolded the dead body of a wyvern saying it was pathetic… seriously, this guy Jareth is too arrogant… he will get me killed one day, sigh~' (Jareth)
When looking at those panicked kids, Jareth felt angry at their rude behavior of leaving their seats in the middle of the class, thus he ended up scolding them harshly too.
'My reputation is beyond saving at this point, let's just go with the flow then…' (Jareth)
As the old saying goes: If you can't go against them, then join them instead. Problem solved. (Friendly warning: Don't take this advice to your heart, take it to your lungs… cough!)
...
A few hours later. Aiza's dorm room.
Aiza sat on the couch and stared at the smartphone with a blank expression on her face.
Today she seemed to have suffered a great face-slap.
She made the mistake of assuming someone was weak and believed in baseless rumors told with no actual facts.
"He wasn't weak…" (Aiza)
Aiza stared at the smartphone and doubted everything she had learned about Jareth through his family members.
'They all told me that he was weak… is this what they consider weak!?' (Aiza)
'Doesn't that mean, nearly 99 percent of the human race is worth nothing! if even that insanely strong magic was considered weak!?' (Aiza)
Aiza seriously couldn't comprehend the situation that had unfolded in front of her today.
While she was trembling in fear against that horrifying monstrosity, Jareth stood there with no fear in his eyes.
Instead, he seems to have thought of that monstrosity as a mere nuisance that was getting in the way of his job as a teacher.
'But how can 'flame arrow' be so strong!?' (Aiza)
The strangest thing of them all was, that Jareth didn't even use any strong spells at all. He used a mere basic-level spell that any newbie fire magician could learn in just a few days of practice.
The lethality of 'Fire Arrow' is universally known to be too low for actual combat purposes. It is mostly used to light up torches in the ruins or create a bonfire. Some magicians even use that to smoke cigarettes.
It is barely ever used on an actual battlefield.
But Jareth's 'Fire Arrow' was different, it was too strong to be even considered a 'Fire Arrow' at this point.
'His spell had 'Characteristic'… doesn't this mean he's already a Grade-2 mage!?' (Aiza)
It is well known in the world that only a mage at Grade 2 or above can infuse their spells with 'Unique Characteristics' to make them more lethal and stronger.
A Mage that can infuse 'characteristic' in his magic is considered more than ten times stronger than the one who couldn't use this infusion.
'How much is father underestimating him in the first place!?' (Aiza)
'Father must have made a great mistake! He has severely underestimated his magical capabilities… if he can kill a wyvern, he can surely go toe to toe with father too…' (Aiza)
Aiza knew about the seriousness of this matter. She knew if Jareth was so strong, then their family was in grave danger. Her father had kicked Jareth out of the family and if he had any grievances with their family, then it was a very dangerous situation.
Her father may also be a grade 2 mage, but Jareth is much younger than her father and he is already capable enough to be an equal with him. This proves that he can reach even greater heights in the future.
At that point, their whole family would be at his mercy. His whims will decide if he will let them all live or not.
'I-I need to inform father about this…' (Aiza)
With all this speculation messing around in her head, Aiza decided to call her father. Her hands trembled as she carefully tried to dial his number.
*Ring* *Ring*
Just when Aiza was about to call, her phone rang on its own and the caller ID showed the name of her father.
She heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly answered the call.
"Aiza, I know the situation…. It seems I have made a terrible mistake this time… that guy… sigh~ I underestimated him too much… but you don't need to worry about anything…"
"I will personally talk with the principal next week, you don't need to worry about your safety on the university campus… but make sure you avoid getting entangled with him before I properly settle this matter…"
"Yes, father" (Aiza)
"Good…"
The call was cut off immediately. Aiza noticed the tiredness in her father's voice. He seems to be facing many difficulties at the moment.
'It must be the vassal families looking for trouble again…' (Aiza)
Several of the vassal families used to support Jareth because he was the oldest of the siblings, they wanted that Jareth should have become the next head of the family.
But the birth of Aiza had changed everything. Her amazing talent enchanted them all, and she received the full support of the whole family.
Only a few vassal family members still stood on Jareth's side, most of them are now in support of Aiza.
Now that everyone has found out that, Jareth is already an extremely strong mage, capable of fighting her father on equal grounds.
They have started to have different thoughts again and her position of being the future heir of the family has been challenged. (Political matters are always complicated, no matter which world it is…)
'I must become stronger…' (Aiza)
