My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 188: A Corrupted Beast Will?

"Professor, how long have you been here?" Kai asked as he was trying to get more information.

'Why do I feel so uneasy in front of this guy, There is no way he knows right? No, that can't be his strength is only stated to be Lance level at best in the report, And it doesn't matter even if he is stronger than the Lances, One more ant isn't much to worry about,' Kai pressed down the fear in his chest because the way Haru looked at him was as if he knew who he was.

"I have been here since you took Gwader to the entrance of the room to scare the newcomer," Haru said plainly and Kai gulped in fear once again.

"Ok enough of that, let me tell you about what my role is in D.C." Haru said and everyone nodded.

After the ceremony, the students were going to their respective classrooms to attend lectures.

'That Professor sure is amazing, it is like I lose him the moment my eyes leave him but his presence is even more authoritative when he is speaking,' Arthur thought as he remembered Haru who had a very commanding presence when he was giving the speech at the ceremony.

But even with the overwhelming charisma and presence one could feel at ease around him, it was like a sense of security one would feel when you sit next to a bonfire on a cold night, seeing as to how he scared the D.C officers and then calmed them down instantly without a hitch was also an example of how people warmed up to him easily.

'It is also quite scary when he is looking at me,' Arthur sighed as he didn't understand why he felt really scared when Haru looked at him, it was like he knows everything about him just like Sylvia. It was quite a complicated feeling for Arthur.

'Whatever, my only goal now is to get stronger so that I can settle my scores with that Lucas without putting my family in danger,' Arthur thought as his eyes got colder and he entered the classroom while ignoring the gazes on him.

"Arthur here," A boy with short-trimmed, jet-black hair falling low across his forehead and wearing square-framed glasses called out to Arthur.

"Elijah, why are you looking at me like this?" Arthur asked because how Elijah was looking at him with narrowed eyes.

"I am comparing," Elijah answered shortly.

"What?" Arthur didn't know what Elijah was up to now, but it was surely something dumb.

"I am comparing you with that Supervising Professor of yours of course, I can't believe a man can be that good-looking," Elijah spoke in jealousy while chewing his handkerchief.

Arthur couldn't help but roll his eyes because Elijah was up to something dumb as he thought, but it was true he saw even the boys blushing at Haru's smile let's not even talk about the girls.

"Damn you, Why are you rolling your eyes? Every girl in the academy is talking about him. Grrr, I didn't know there was someone who even makes you look like an average person," Elijah was getting more jealous when he looked at girls in his class talking about Haru with flushed faces.

'He is going to be like this for a while now, isn't he?' Arthur sighed while looking at Elijah who kept on complaining about how Haru was being drooled over by all the females in the academy.

After having a meeting with the director because he beat up Giest in the classroom, Arthur went to have lunch after becoming the interim Professor for the basics of Mana Manipulation class on the condition of….

'So I can only join Professor Tsugikuni's class if he chooses to take me in, This is surely new,' Arthur thought as he made his way to the advanced course's classroom. In the academy, if a class was registered any student can apply if they met the required year and grades, some might even have elemental affinities or a core stage for requirements, But for Haru's class, you would have to be handpicked by him if you want to attend. Even the Director had no control over it.

'Sigh* let's see how this goes,' Arthur sighed while thinking of a way to enter Haru's class for his goal of getting stronger. He still hadn't forgotten how Haru played them for a fiddle at the D.C office.

"Hey Arthur over here," A cheerful voice called Arthur who looked up to see Claire and Curtis waving at him.

"Hello guys," Arthur went over and Claire quickly pulled him into a headlock with a smile.

"You are already a Professor on the first day huh," Claire said with a smile while Arthur could only smile wryly, It is not like he intended for things to end up this way.

"Arthur you should've seen that Giest when he was smashed into the ground by Professor Tsugikuni," Curtis spoke with stars in his eyes.

"What? When did that happen?" Arthur was shocked as he didn't know something like this happened.

"It happened when Giest went to complain to Professor about you making trouble in class, and Professor Tsugikuni called over Kath and Fey Fey who explained the situation, Then Giest tried to lie his way out and put the blame on you, But Professor Tsugikuni smashed giest into the ground without even moving from his desk and said 'If you lie in front of me again your Deadmeat' man Professor looked so cool, It was like Professor just looked at him and Giest was into the ground writhing in pain there wasn't even mana being used, damn that was so Awesome!!" Curtis described what happened with enthusiasm.

"Something….like that happened?" Arthur was a bit speechless at what was described to him.

'With just a look? How strong is this guy really?' Arthur thought seriously. There is no doubt that Arthur himself can destroy someone like Giest if he uses his stronger elements but even then to defeat a mid-yellow core like this is a surprising show of power.

"Of course it did, everyone other than you were present there, Only now do I understand what Uncle meant by the scary presence that Professor Tsugikuni has," Claire said while nodding making Curtis nod as well.

'Looks like he heard something similar from his father,' Arthur fell deep into thought and he became curious about what happened between them since when he asked Kaspian about the new S-rank Adventurer when he visited the Helstea Manor. Kaspian only smiled and said 'You'll understand it only when you meet him yourself,'

"Oh! But my uncle also said not to worry because Professor won't get angry unless certain lines are crossed," Claire said making Arthur wonder where this line of Haru is.

"Father told me to be careful and to not shame the royal family that is all," Curtis spoke while tapping his chin.

"Professor Tsugikuni should also have a class right? I wonder how I can apply for it?" Claire said feeling a bit down because she wasn't able to find anything about it till now even Curtis looked down at the mention of this topic. They weren't able to ask Haru himself and could only make a guess.

Seeing them like this Arthur told them about what he had heard and they were all smiles trying to think of ways they could make it so Haru would consider inviting them to his class.

After their talk, the class started and thanks to Professor Glory Arthur, Claire, and Curtis were up against Lucas, Clive, and Tessia respectively in a mock battle.

'Hmm, it is alright,' Haru thought while looking at the fight going on in front of him.

[Don't be so pessimistic did you forget your goal of coming here,] Kurumi spoke lazily.

[Yes yes, I get it I need to observe how people with limited mana use it,] Haru said and rolled his eyes, he just wanted to send a clone of his here but Hae-in, Queresha, and Kurumi insisted that he goes to the academy in person to learn more about how to use mana more intricately.

It was because Haru has almost inexhaustible reserves he had never really had to worry about running out of mana. So it was a good opportunity for him to observe.

[And you were even able to find many things since you came here in person,] Kurumi said making Haru nod his head, it was good that he came here himself.

'Kai Crestless, huh. They even infiltrated the academy.' Haru thought.

So while Haru was looking at the fight between Arthur and Lucas, his attention went to the fight between Tessia and Curtis.

'This isn't good,' Haru thought while looking at a giant fire beam that was heading for Tessia who was unable to protect herself because something happened to her core.

'A corrupted Beast Will, Things are getting a little interesting here,' Haru smiled.
