Brat 2's POV
The crazed maniac, which this school hired to torture us students from class 2F, had on day 3 since being assigned to our class, used his chalkboard golem to carry us to the practice arena to show us something. But as soon as we arrived, my younger brother had played another one of his cruel pranks and launched a fireball at us. Fortunately, our teacher was anything but a pushover, as for the first time I felt relieved to have met this madman after he blocked the attack that could have killed us.
It quickly became apparent that the one behind this chaos was in fact not my brother, but the trouble some vice principal Shao. Who had apparently decided to disrupt that madman's lesson, as a show of status. Even if he is a madman, he is still a teacher at this school. If the vice principal shows up, even this gangster had to back down. That was what I thought, when his normally crude way of speaking turned polite.
"Vice principal Shao, what a pleasant surprise! Have you come to watch my practical lesson on enchantments perhaps?"
But to my delight. I was proven completely wrong.
"HAVE YOU ANY IDEA WHO YOU ARE SPEAKING TO! I AM-"
"THE BRUTE WHO IS DISRUPTING MY CLASS! NOW LEAVE BEFORE I MAKE YOU LEAVE!"
"How dare you?"
"WHAT WAS THAT?! SPEAK UP! YOU WORM!"
"HOW DARE YOU!"
There had been many teachers in the past who opposed the vice principal, but none would shout in his face like that. It was the first time I saw someone crazy enough to fearlessly insult their superiors like that. It was really getting interesting when that madman had made a bet to leave the school forever if he couldn't beat up that bastard vice principal and the entire class of spoiled kids that was 2A. I struggled to figure out who to cheer for when the professor turned around to talk to us.
"Brat 1 through 3, listen up. After seeing your performance over the last couple of days, I have decided to give you a demonstration. With the help of vice principal Blackbeard and his crew of merry bastards, I will show you what it truly means to be a mage. In hopes that a show of power may motivate you lazy scoundrels in your studies."
And with that he took off his gloves, and for some reason the upper part of his uniform, as he threw them to the side. Showcasing his shredded abs that were neatly compressed into his thin figure, making the girls of 2A squeal as they blushed and covered their eyes. I couldn't help but notice the thin lines of various colors spread across his body.
"HAVE YOU NO SHAME!"
"I do not. As that was not a requirement to become a teacher, nor a mage."
"YOU WERE ONLY REQUIRED TO TAKE OF THOSE INFERNAL GLOVES! WHY HAVE YOU GOTTEN INDECENT BEFORE SUCH YOUTHS!"
"I am merely proving that I am not carrying any additional aids, so as to not invite suspicion upon my victory later. Now may we begin?"
"FINE! HAVE AT THEE!" vice principal 'Blackbeard', as I will now refer to him as within my mind due to the apt and hilarious description, said before casting another 'Fireball'.
He was soon followed by the various students in 2A. Specifically the boys, since the girls were all freaking out. Though aside from my brother, none of the other students had reached the 3rd tier yet, hence a number of 1st and 2nd tier spells came flying in our direction. However, the chalkboard golem deflected and blocked any that came flying in our direction.
"HAHAHA. DON'T BLAME US, BLAME YOURSELF FOR BEING SO ARROGANT! IF NOT FOR YOUR OVERCONFIDENCE, YOU MIGHT HAVE SUR-" Vice principal Blackbeard's words were cut short as a half-naked figure could be seen walking out of the dust cloud.
"You talk too much." My crazy professor muttered as, the lines on his body began to flicker on and off in different locations.
Shortly after he moved with inhuman speed as he appeared in front of Blackbeard and punched him in the face, sending him flying into the wall.
"Now who's next?"
I watched the savage beating of class 2A as I could hear the buff guy next to me start muttering to himself.
"There is no way. That's the Gale speed technique, and the body reinforcement stance. And-"
"Hey, you…uh, Kenji right? Do you know what he is doing?" I asked.
He turned to look at me as if he just realized I was next to him and spoke.
"Wha!? Oh! Yeah, it's just that his movements, and the qi flowing out of his body is just so similar to combat techniques used by cultivators."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but that should be impossible! Spellcasters like him can't become a cultivator and vice versa. The qi in a cultivator's body is too dense and unstable to be used in magic, so a mage like him shouldn't be able to use our techniques and yet…"
*BANG*
Just then a class 2A student was launched into the wall next to us.
"How is a mage using multiple cultivation techniques of so many elements? It just doesn't make sense!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!"
Just as my teacher was taking his time beating my brother to a pulp, another Gale Wind was launched sending him tumbling through the air before he landed on his feet, far away from the pile of unconscious students in the middle of the arena.
It was vice principal Blackbeard, who had recovered after being punched into the arena wall. He had seen class 2A being beaten black and blue and used them as a distraction as he was preparing another Gale Wind as well as a much bigger and complicated magic circle.
After pushing the crazy professor Sun away from my brother, he started yelling as he activated his 5th tier 'Gale Burst'.
The magic circle sucked in the surrounding air as it was being compressed into an almost visible state. And finally…
*BOOOM*
A loud boom could be heard throughout the academy as the compressed ball of air was released in Professor Sun's direction. The air-based projectile sent a shockwave that launched everyone it passed by into the air as it headed towards Professor Sun.
Professor Sun, however, faded away into thin air just as soon as the projectile passed through him.
"WHA?!"
*Bang*
"No way, that's the illusionary foot work from the Glimmer sect!" I could barely hear my fellow victim of that madman yelling in astonishment as my ears were still ringing after that last attack.
Soon after that madman appeared behind the vice principal and kicked him into the center of the arena.
Vice principal Blackbeard was astonished as he was lying across the ground while that lunatic approached.
"NO! STAY AWAY!" Blackbeard said as he started flinging low tier spells at him.
Deftly avoiding the spells of vice principal Blackbeard, that madman continued walking. As if he was just going for a nice walk in the park, he continued leisurely approaching the vice principal, until he stopped, and suddenly jumped back.
"WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY ACADEMY!?"
Just then a beam of light struck from the sky at the spot that madman was standing on moments ago as another elderly man appeared out of nowhere between my new teacher and the vice principal.
He sported a long white beard, as well as a long white robe.
"Good day to you too! My good sir! As for who I am-"
*Sizzle*
Just as Professor Sun was about to introduce himself, the old man launched a light-based spell he had prepared in his sleeve at the professor's face. However, Professor Sun managed to dodge it in the last second by bending his head to the side, leaving a sizzling burn across his cheek.
"You picking a fight old man!" Professor Sun said as the air around him shifted, as he for the first time since joining the academy got serious.
Just as the two were about ready to make their move.
"STOOOOP!"
Vice principal Kyle, came flying out of the spectating area, using a magic item to slow his fall.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS! KYLE, WHY ARE YOU STOPPING ME FROM DEALING WITH THIS INTRUDER?" The man, I decided to call Whitebeard after being inspired by my new professor, said.
"He is not an intruder. He is the new professor of class 2F." Vice principal Kyle said.
"WHY IS A PROFESSOR ATTACKING THE STUDENTS?" Whitebeard asked
"I was merely demonstrating to the students what happens if one doesn't follow the proper procedures when requesting to use the resources of an establishment such as this." Professor Sun interjected.
"DID I ASK FOR YOUR INPUT?" Whitebeard said as he sent another light beam his way, this time aimed at his torso. However, it just went through him as he faded away and reappeared a few steps to his left.
"Your body! Those are not scars on your body, you certainly have guts using such methods! Haha."
"It would seem you are not the principal for nothing. You are the first here to have realized what these lines truly are."
Just as that madman casually revealed Whitebeards identity, both vice principals looked wide eyed as they focused on his naked torso.
"Usually, when engraving an enchantment. One would use an inanimate object, as they can easily be replaced should the enchantments fail or malfunction, but you however took the risk of engraving them directly on to your body. Allowing you to fight much like a cultivator does, but that comes at great risk." Principal Whitebeard said as he cast another spell, that seemed to do nothing until…
*GASP*
Everyone present was speechless, as the beautiful appearance of Professor Sun began to distort.
"Hey now! You're going to scare the kids."
Before us stood Professor Sun, covered head to toe in scars and burns. In some places there would be claw and bite marks, while others there were entire chunks of flesh missing. His hands had been burnt almost completely black and were even missing a few fingers. His charming face had been ripped to shreds as he was missing his left cheek, letting you see the teeth inside his closed mouth. His left eye was missing an eyelid fixing it wide open as a nasty burn mark covered the right corner of his face.
"Take a good look, children! This is what can happen if you are not careful wielding your magic!" The principal said, using Professor Sun as an example.
After the incident with the principal, the students were excused for the rest of the day as Professor Sun, alongside the two vice principals, was called to the principal's office to explain what happened.
