Jareth, the Menace...
The rest of the dungeon exploring went uneventfully and night came before the students realized.
Although their first time in real combat was difficult and rough, being able to witness two grade-2 Mages in battle was already a great fortune for them.
After Jareth defeated the Cyclops in one attack, all the fire magicians among the students had their egos inflated by a lot, they took pride in the fact that the element they had had such lethality.
Jareth seemed like a walking inspiration tome for the fire magicians.
All the other elemental-type magicians were quite jealous of them at this moment.
But not all were that happy.
One particular student was feeling like her worldview had been shattered.
'H-how did he make that useless spell so powerful!?' (Aiza)
As a fire-type magic prodigy herself, Aiza knows that what Jareth did was certainly not a small feat.
He literally made a spell for lighting torches into a spell that was strong enough to carve out a kilometers-long underground tunnel.
Moreover, the walls of a dungeon are not weak, they are all magically enhanced walls, being able to damage the dungeon to such an extent, was an amazing show of raw strength.
If not for the fact the dungeon boss's room was not in the direct line of Jareth's attack, this dungeon would have been conquered by his in an instant.
'Father and everyone in the family are wrong about him…. He is very strong… strong enough to be able to contend with father too…' (Aiza)
Aiza had subtle thoughts that her father might not be as strong as Jareth, but she suppressed those thoughts firmly and didn't dare to think in that direction.
After all, she has seen her father as her ultimate goal, but Jareth's performance was just too good and it was enough to shake her mind by a lot.
Just when she was busy in her thoughts, she heard footsteps and when she glanced behind her, Jareth walked out of one of the passages of the Dungeon.
Aiza was momentarily surprised by his sudden appearance, but she didn't panic. Her title as a genius was not for show, she has always been calm-minded most of the time.
'Is he going to mock me now?' (Aiza)
Although she doesn't want to get mocked by him, she also knows that he is a powerful wizard, and talking back to him may cause her death in the very next instant.
Moreover, Aiza has no idea if even her father would be able to contend with Jareth now, so she can't even use his name as a threat either.
But contrary to what she was thinking, Jareth barely looked at her for a few seconds and then continued on his way as if he wasn't even acknowledging her existence.
'Is he trying to show that I am not worth his attention?' (Aiza)
Aiza felt humiliated by Jareth's ignorance of her presence, but she didn't dare show any dissatisfaction to him, she had just seen what happened to the Cyclops a few hours ago.
'But I need to ask him at least one thing…' (Aiza)
A look of determination appeared in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said in a quiet and submissive tone.
"D-do you hate father and me?" (Aiza)
She asked that question in a very low tone, but in this silent underground dungeon, it was quite easy to hear her question even if it was said in a quiet tone.
Jareth who was just about to leave this corridor stopped at the end all of a sudden after hearing the question.
He turned back towards Aiza and said in his usual tone:
"Obviously… that father of yours killed my mother, you expect me to love him or something?" (Jareth)
'W-what!? My mouth is talking on its own!?' (Jareth)
Being stared at by Jareth's cold eyes, Aiza shivered constantly.
"I hate that man, as for you…. I have nothing to do with you… besides this matter is between me and that guy, you are still a kid and you don't need to get entangled in the matter of adults…" (Jareth)
Jareth stopped staring at her and turned his back again.
"Aside from that, you have good talent… you are the greatest talent when it comes to fire magic, so don't waste your time on these messy family conflicts… getting involved in this is just pure waste of time for you…" (Jareth)
"Keep improving, you might surpass me soon…" (Jareth)
After saying this, Jareth left the place, leaving the trembling Aiza behind.
He didn't care what she was thinking about him, but he had nothing to do with her anyway.
'In the first place, the enmity of this body is with her father… there's no need to get children involved in this, otherwise won't I just be doing the same as he did to Jareth…' (Jareth)
Aiza is one of the important heroines in Allen's harem, she has a bright future ahead.
She looks cold type from the outside but she will save thousands of lives in the future. The Aiza that Jareth knew from the game's story is a heroic character who saved many innocent lives.
'I think her father is manipulating her thoughts from behind the scenes to make her hate me…. But I don't care about such bullsh*t schemes, once the opportunity arrives, I will kill that guy myself…' (Jareth)
Although Jareth used to be an ordinary guy in his previous life, he has now possessed the body of Jareth Blaze.
'The reason why I can't properly control this body yet might be because of the lingering hatred… I need to fulfill the final wishes of this body to get full control…' (Jareth)
He has contemplated his own strange situation many times, so he has some theories of his own by now, and the most obvious way is to get rid of the residual will of the original Jareth by fulfilling his last wishes.
'I am not a pure-hearted good guy in the first place, I have worked with that shady old man for years after all, it doesn't matter if I have to get rid of this body's father…' (Jareth)
'He is a scheming type villain anyway, he is bound to die one day… if not in my hands then in Allen's…' (Jareth)
Jareth knew the game's story and also knew the relations of characters between each other.
Being a veteran at that game, he knew that Aiza's father was a mid-game villain and eventually his schemes gets discovered when he tries to manipulate Aiza into Allen.
His brainwashing techniques are quite good too, he nearly coaxes Aiza into killing Allen, but the plot armor comes to the rescue and helps Allen overcome this challenge.
Eventually, Aiza develops feelings for Allen due to the reason he helps her get rid of her father's deadly manipulation.
'This time it will be different… I will kill that guy with my own hands…I just need an opportunity… hehe' (Jareth)
Jareth can't just directly go and wreak havoc in the Blaze mansion in broad daylight after all.
There needs to be some proper conditions first.
'I will need an attack enhancement card, then I will need to lure that guy out of the capital somehow and then I will have to finish his in one blow… getting all conditions right is gonna take a lot of time…' (Jareth)
'As for that little girl, if she got in my way then creating another pile of ashes along with that guy is no big deal for me, hehehe' (Jareth)
Jareth already has a general outline of how to assassinate him while not getting the attention of the rest of the world.
As Jareth walked through the dark underground corridors.
His purple eyes shined in darkness and a devilish grin appeared over his face, making him look even more intimidating than he usually does.
'Hehehe, your days are numbered, father….' (Jareth)
