Chapter 294: Teaching Them A Lesson

"You asshole! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?"

That young mage was enraged and wanted to grab Arthur and rip his throat out. Although that was his feeling, Arthur knew it was something impossible to happen.

Arthur was living a new identity. The identity of a young prodigy who would rock that school. Those two magicians who had recruited him already knew his potential, and even though it didn't seem like it, several important figures were watching him.

"He's already in the third circle and almost in the fourth in just one month. You weren't lying when you said his talent was impressive." A hooded figure said.

"Well, that's obvious. I wouldn't have the courage to lie to you, master."

"How far do you believe he can get in six months, or maybe a year?"

"Well, it's hard to say, but if he reaches rank one, it would be something never seen before in our school."

"You're right. Monitor him for me, and if anyone comes close to killing him, interfere."

"As you wish, master."

Arthur was not aware of that conversation, and his mind was focused on something more important; teaching a lesson to some bullies.

"Are you going to stand there watching or come up?"

Those students were not novices, but they were not experienced either. A group of three mages in the third circle. Arthur was also using the power of the third circle, but the fight was not at the same level, but in his favor!

His combat experience far surpassed that of these young men, and even if they were a few levels higher, it would be difficult for Arthur to lose to them.

That provocation was the last straw, and those three magicians channeled their spells, all the same element, shadows.

Arthur stood motionless, waiting for those spells, and when two black balls and a spear were heading his way, he moved, but only at the last second, dodging the spells with a sidestep, taking those students by surprise.

After that, it was his turn! In just one second, Arthur cast a spell, the Shadow Prison, binding the 3 mages.

"What? How is that possible?"

They were shocked! The spell Arthur used was a Tier 3 spell, which meant that he had already reached the same level as them!

Not only that, but the way Arthur dodged the spells was impressive. They couldn't understand how a young man could have so much skill.

"Could he be a warrior before he came here? What is the meaning of this?" One of them thought.

The fight was practically won. Those youngsters couldn't move, so finishing them would be as easy as taking candy from a child.

"I hope you won't look for trouble with me after the beating you're about to suffer." Arthur said, strolling toward them.

The screams could be heard in the distance. Arthur showed no mercy, and punched those youngsters several times, to where they were trembling with fear, begging him to stop.

What was the motive behind this? Well, some might say this was an evil act, but Arthur saw it to protect himself from future problems.

He knew very well that letting them go without teaching them a lesson would only bring trouble in the future, since they certainly would not let him go so easily.

But what about now? Those youngsters trembled at the sight of Arthur's face, and this would certainly lessen one of his problems.

The two mysterious people who were watching everything from afar were impressed, not only with Arthur's performance in the battle but also with his firm decision to beat those mages.

"Impressive. He knows very well when he needs to show a strong persona."

Those three mages ran away with fear after witnessing such terrific display of skill, and mighty. Even Lucas and Liz, who were watching everything from the side, afraid Arthur would suffer a beating, were lost for words.

"Bro, could you take the fight more lightly? Did you see the face of those guys? They looked uglier than me, and that is something hard to accomplish, you know!" Lucas said.

"You know I had to do that or else they would come looking for more troubles. At least now we know the group is done for, but more problems will surely come knocking on our doorstep."

They were young, but not dumb to the point of not understanding the reason behind Arthur's actions. It was something one had to do, and they were glad Arthur had the courage and discipline to do just that!

"Can you teach me those moves? Not the spell, but the sidestep! That was smooth."

"I can try, but I don't think you old man's body will mimic it."

"Idiot."

Liz could only laugh. Seeing these two cursing each other had turned into one of her favorite part of the day.

While they were chatting, the two mages who had recruited them a month ago showed up.

"Yo, remember us?"

"Of course, seniors."

Lucas and Liz bowed, recognizing the higher authority those two mages had. Arthur was not willing to bow for someone weaker than him, but did it anyway.

"We came here to share a few things with you, as well as to build the entrance to the underground inside your cabins."

"Underground?" Lucas said, getting excited, but calmed down after he saw Arthur's look of pretend we don't know this shit.

The two mages then explained what was underground, as well as the reason for it to be there. It was easy to guess, but the reason for the school to be underground was protection.

Not only the Blood Spear school, but most dark arts schools were underground or hidden in some other form. People disliked them — for a good reason — so staying hidden was their best chance of surviving in the long run.

Sure enough, these two mages built three trapdoors, one in each cabin, and explained to them everything about the underground.

Down there it was where all the shops, and the students passed their time. Not only that, but it was where they trained, and received a few lessons from rank 1 mages, though these lessons seemed to be rare.

One thing that caught Arthur's attention was the alchemy, and the ingredients cultivated down there.

"They have specific magical formations which allow the plants to grow even in the underground. Impressive."

Maybe it was time for him to get back at doing alchemy and other things, especially after he saw the large stones near a palace in the underground.

It acted as a ranking for the strongest student in combat, alchemy, enchanting, and magical smithing. All of it only counted for those below the rank 1, so Arthur fit in just fine.

"This seems like a good way for me to get famous, and that will help me get into the Blood Council!" He thought.

"All done. You can explore everything on your own, as we might see things differently from you! Also, good job, all of you, especially you, Arthur!"

They were shocked to see Arthur already in the third circle, but Lucas and Liz weren't that behind, already in the second circle, aiming to get to the third in a few days.

For them, a talented new batch of students meant powerful soldier to use in the war. Little did they know Arthur was not planning to help them in that regard.

"Shall we go down to explore?" Lucas said.

"That is obvious. Let's go!"
