Chapter 82: Deadly accident
"Stop right there!"
Rebecca, however, did in fact not stop right there and proceed to the next student and punched him in the face, bloodying his nose with her armored fist, then she proceeded to kick another one in the balls making him pass out as he frothed at the mouth before she dodged a slow punch from another of the students and grabbed his outstretched arm and threw him onto the floor without breaking his fall at all before she turned to the other remaining students and pounced at them too Mike watch on totally undisturbed (Though he did flinch a little when that poor soul got kicked in the balls) when someone yelled again
"I SAID STOP RIGHT THERE GODDAMMIT!"
Mike sipped his tea and didn't turn around to check who yelled, it was only when the last person of the attacking group fell to the floor that he called out
"Okay that's enough Rebecca"
Rebecca gave a bow before she dismissed her armor and walked back to Mike, at that point Mike turned around to the person that had been yelling at him to stop and asked
"What?"
The pretty lady almost popped a vein as she fumed, it was a student with a blue necktie, on her arm was a red armband she took a couple deep breathes that made her blonde twintails sway slightly before she asked
"...Why didn't you stop your servant when I told you?"
Mike gave a shrug and innocently spoke
"When you disable a group of fighters you don't stop mid way You either take them all down or none of them, would you be able to protect me if one of them had fired a spell at me if I had stopped my servant? Or would you be able to compensate me if my level 5 servant got hurt?"
The student with the red armband stammered
"T-That doesn't matter, I told you to stop!"
Mike narrowed his eyes slightly before he asked in a loud voice
"So my safety doesn't matter? Is it because I am a non-human? Or maybe you think those human supremacists are right and you wanted them to hurt me?"
The girl hurriedly and frantically waved her hands in front of her face as she felt the eyes of the non-humans in the canteen gather on her
"N-No that's not what I said!"
Mike gave another shrug and asked
"Then why don't you talk with the aggressors here instead of trying to blame the one they attacked with deadly spells?"
Mike looked at the girl as she opened and closed her mouth a couple of times before he asked
"Will that be all, miss disciplinary member?"
The girl stopped trying to form words for a moment before she took a deep breath and gave Mike a glare
"...Are you perhaps a bully?"
"Oh so you did realize I was fucking with you"
Skipping forward in time a bit Mike found himself in a neat room sitting at a table looking at the empty chairs on the other side of the table tapping his finger on the table in no particular rhythm, he had been staring into space for the past 10 minutes as he mentally revived the class he had been attending before lunch, soon the door opened and a professor with a red armband on his robe stepped in and sat down across from Mike and spoke
"We have clearly investigated the incident in the canteen and found that you nor your servant are at fault But before I let you go I want to ask you why you think those students attacked you?"
Mike gave a shrug
"We had a small fight in the classroom, isn't that why?"
The professor watched Mike's expression for a bit before he gave a sigh and spoke
"One of the students in that group passed away earlier today when a plant pot fell from a window above him and split his skull"
A red light flashed in Mike's eye before he gave a sigh and spoke
"... How unfortunate"
The professor continued
"That student just so happen to be the one you slapped twice in the classroom today"
"I see What's your point?"
The professor narrowed his eyes slightly before he gave a sigh and leaned back in the chair and waved his hand
"You are free to go"
"Well then, excuse me, professor"
Mike walked out of the room with a thin smile on his face, his three servants formed up on him before Mike made some hand signals to Rebecca
*You're illusions have gotten better*
Rebecca showed a happy smile, then Mike gave a few hand signals to Elina
*Nice touch with the plant pot*
Elina gave a nod looking proud, Mike then patted Snow on the head so she didn't feel out of place
"Don't worry I'll teach you the hand signals sometime soon"
Snow gave a nod, then Mike walked towards his next class which was hosted in one of the courtyards, when he arrived the class were already in progress, while the last class was about the different spells and how they were activated in theory this class was about how to activate them in practice by actually using them, the three servants walked over to the sidelines while Mike walked up to the professor and spoke
"Sorry for coming to class late the discipline committee wanted to talk with me"
The professor gave a nod
"Yes, I was informed You must be Mike, I heard about you from Ivan, my name is Toby"
Toby was a human man in his 30's that looked more like an adventurer than a professor, Mike shook his outstretched hand before he spoke
"Nice to meet you professor Toby"
Toby showed a smile and began introducing Mike to today's class which was about the common spell paths and different kinds of spells which all mages could use, Mike proceeded to try the spells and managed to get some of the basic strengthening spells down but some of the other spells eluded him which was to be expected since it was his first day at class, after 2 hours the class ended signaled by the central clock tower ringing its bell, Mike gave a sigh and walked back towards the dormitory to rest and organize his notes before the 2nd afternoon class, after some reviewing he arrived at the school building and found the classroom where his next class was going to take place, as he sat and stared into space someone walked up to him and asked
"You are Mike right?"
Mike gave a nod and found that it was a professor that had asked him
"Yeah that's me"
The professor gave a smile
"I am James, do you have some time right now?"
"Sure"
Mike followed after the professor out of the classroom and into the hall where the professor spoke
"You must be wondering why I called you so I'll get straight to the point, I want you to join the magic time research club where I am the mentor, are you interested?"
"...I am listening"
James gave a smile
"What we do in the magic item research club is that we study and replicate magic items, to tell the truth, I happen to have heard that your servant is in possession of a rather ancient magic item so if you have any interest in learning about magic items I can give you preferential treatment as long as I can study the item"
Mike thought it over for a few seconds before he raised a finger
"I have one condition"
"Sure as long as it's within my power"
Mike gave a smile
"The magic item does not leave her possession"
James gave a nod and stretched his hand out again
"Deal!"
Mike gave a smile and shook the excited professors hand
"Well then let's get going at once"
"...But I have class?"
James gave a smile
"You are exempt from that class, it's about attribute specific points And frankly, we have never had a blood mage before so embarrassing as it is we have nothing to teach you"
"Oh Well fine then, Elina, Snow and Rebecca let's go"
""Yes master""
The three eavesdroppers all gave a nod while the two that were able verbally acknowledged Mike's order and walked out of the classroom and followed after Mike, James showed a smile and gestured for them to follow him
"Right this way"
Mike gave a nod and followed after the excited professor that asked him while they walked
"So what kinds of magic items do you know of?"
Mike thought for a moment before he answered
"Igniter paper, that's an old friend"
"igniter paper! That was actually invented here on campus a few generations ago by a professor"
"Really? I have always wondered how it works"
James gave a short laugh as his eyes twinkled with excitement
"Well then wonder no more, I'll make this first class about ignitor paper"
"Thanks"
"Don't mention it, my own interest in magic items started with something similar after all!"
