Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong-Chapter 259: The Plans for a new adventure begins. Part-1.
Several days went by in the blink of an eye.
Mark and the other two got busy with their own training, as they had to digest whatever they had learned from their trip to the elven empire, and Jareth also finished dealing with the lab’s pending matters.
He went back to the university and taught the students a few classes as usual.
Other teachers were teaching in his absence, so there was no need for him to worry about the students not being able to complete their syllabus.
Moreover, Jareth is not interested in being a proper teacher anymore and is only planning on teaching Mark and the other two now.
’I have already changed most of the things, so there’s no need to regret anything after coming this far...’
If this was a normal world, Jareth would have preferred to stay a normal professor and spend his days in peace.
But, as he can’t afford to stay put now, he has no other choice but to struggle as much as possible.
The exams were already near for the students, and thus Jareth taught them all the important stuff that they needed to know for the exams and that wasn’t completed by the assistant teachers.
A few weeks went by this way, and the exam month arrived, causing all of the students, including Mark and the others, to get extremely busy.
Jareth and the other teachers, on the other hand, became free, as they only had to play the role of an invigilator and didn’t need to care about anything for the time being.
’I need to make a trip to the ’Miracle City Levina.’ I can do it now that I am free and all students are busy... I won’t even need to take Mark and the others with me...’
Jareth was in a hurry to go to Levina from the very moment he came back from the elven empire because he knew that there was another ’Golden Nail’ nearby that he needed to take care of.
’Well, that place is insanely difficult to access and even in the game I don’t think many players were able to make it there...’
As explained before, Luche is an optional boss, but she’s just as strong as the final boss of the game, and barely any players managed to actually defeat her in the game.
And just like the story of the ’Abyss Alter Area’ was related to Konda, the storyline of the ’Miracle City’ Levina is related to Luche.
Luche is a half-fairy and a half-succubus; she’s deeply related to Levina, and her ’Boss Area’ in the game was something you needed to overcome in order to find the entrance to Levina.
Most players never even made it to the miracle city because they couldn’t deal with Luche.
’In the game, you couldn’t bypass the boss area but things are different in reality...’
In games, an invisible wall, which is the ’map border,’ stops you from going off the map and doesn’t let you bypass the boss area, but things are different in reality, as there is no so-called map border in reality.
’Moreover, unlike the game where the boss is always stuck in their boss area, things are different here...’
Luche has already left her designated boss area just like Konda and Zion; thus, Jareth can go through the main route without needing to clash with Luche.
Although Jareth has become stronger, he still has no confidence that he can deal with top-tier people like Zion and Luche in one go.
After all, Zion managed to survive his all-out strength, and even Konda was barely defeated by manipulating the surroundings and tricking it into a trap.
Jareth doesn’t want to have an all-out battle with Luche, as it will cause unnecessary trouble for him and will only serve to delay him further.
’The main problem is that the passage to Levina might be in closed state... I hope it’s open when I reach it or I might have to find another unorthodox way to force it open...’
The main reason why Jareth told Luche information about Zion’s armor was because he wanted to distract her.
She will surely be searching for the ’False Demon Cult,’ which will keep her busy and occupied.
Jareth can take advantage of her distraction and forcefully open the passage to Levina; if he does so and she finds out about it, he will have to fight her, as she will get angry.
To prevent her from finding him, Jareth decided to distract her so that he could avoid an unnecessary battle that might cause him to waste a lot of time.
’The path to Luche’s boss area isn’t really easy either...’
Thinking about the past when he first made his way to Luche through that horrible area, Jareth couldn’t help but shake his head.
*Ding* *Dong*
Just when Jareth was busy thinking about various things in his mind, his phone rang to notify him that he had received a message.
That noise brought him back to reality, and he grabbed his phone from the table to see who had messaged him so early in the morning.
He leaned his back on the chair as he sipped tea with one hand and operated his mobile with the other while basking in the morning sunlight falling on the balcony of his mansion.
[You received a message from ’Overly Serious Raccoon.’]
’It’s from Thomas... Why is he messaging me so early in the morning? I don’t think I have any work pending right now...’
As the vice-principal of the university and a professor who has already taught the students whatever he needed to, Jareth was resting and relaxing nowadays while working on his research of the wormhole device.
Thomas usually never messages Jareth unless it’s important work, and thus Jareth immediately opened the message to read it.
[Overly Serious Racoon: Come to the Rising Sun baseball ground in an hour; we have an important meeting.]
Reading that message, a look of confusion appeared on Jareth’s face.
’Why do we have to go to a playground for baseball players if we have an important meeting? What is this overly serious guy planning now?’
As Thomas is always carrying a serious look and looks very much like a raccoon, Jareth saved his number with the nickname ’Overly Serious Raccoon,’ and it fits him perfectly.
Giving people nicknames has always been Jareth’s habit, and it hasn’t changed even after coming to this world.
As a matter of fact, Jareth had even given Shiina a nickname, which he never dared to tell her for fear of making her enraged.
The nickname was ’Poisonous Candy.’ He chose this nickname not because Shiina was a bad person; it’s because falling in love with her and being with her was a very bad thing for his health.
It was a slow poison, which he knew would definitely claim his life one day, and it did claim his life when her father found out about it.
But he still couldn’t let go of her because of his love and just how sweet she was, just like an overly sweet candy.
In other words, the nickname ’Poisonous Candy’ suited Shiina perfectly in his opinion. He knew it was poisonous, yet he couldn’t let it go and got addicted to its sweetness.
That poisonous sweetness led him to his tragic death. A truly ironic tale.
[Okay, I will be there...]
’Well, I have nothing else to do right now; might as well go and see what’s going on...’
Jareth shook his head and agreed to be there on time.
He’s already planning to go to the ’Miracle City’ soon and needs to inform Thomas; either way, it’s a good opportunity to do that.
Jareth sipped his tea and finished it before getting up and speaking with his butler to arrange a car for him.
"Which of the cars would you like to ride today, Master?"
The question that butler threw at him took him aback just like always, and it took him a good few seconds to reply to it.
"Err... just get the one that is ready to go; I have no particular liking to any of them..."
As he has lived in poverty for two lives and has never had so much money as he has now, Jareth was always taken aback whenever his butler asked him which car he wanted to ride for the day.
From eating spoiled food to being able to choose between luxurious cars, things change so much that Jareth feels complicated emotions occasionally.
’I have become rich, but I wonder when will I get used to this luxurious lifestyle... oh wait, I will soon have to leave this world anyway, so I will not have this luxury for long either...’
Thinking this far, Jareth stopped bothering about this.
He has already spent most of his life in poverty; it doesn’t matter if he goes poor again. The main reason why he seized so much money from the Blaze family was for his research’s sake anyway.
And so, taking a random luxurious car from his vast collection, Jareth went to the location that Thomas had shared.
