Davey ignored the frigid air in the entire classroom as he pushed the podium away.

Instructor What does that?

The students could not keep up with the changes in the situation. They were left staring blankly at Davey. Simply put, their responses were much simpler than what he had expected.

Weregoing to fight you, Instructor? Molly Saelyn, whose eyes were still red from crying, asked bitterly.

Thats right. What you need to do is simple. As long as you touch my collar, you will gain victory and the class will end. However, the class will continue if none of you succeeds.

Timmy no longer felt dispirited. With a smirk, he said, Your collar? Instructor, dont you know how many of us are here? We are not even in the auditorium but a small classroom.

Im not sure how this large classroom has become such a narrow space for you, but I am fully aware of that. So, come at me.

Ha! Do you think I wont be able to even brush your collar?! Timmy shouted furiously as he charged at Davey. He had a fierce gaze, as if he was going to vent his anger over the current situation.

Punch!!!

However, Timmy crumpled onto the ground before he could even get anywhere near Davey.

Kgh ack

Lets see. Timmy Lendarouge. It seems like your blood vessels are clogged. Even if youre not a genius, this instructor will make sure to give you a makeover and let you have a new lease in life.

[Devil Ylgrs Crowd Suppression]

[Light Abdominal Strike]

Crack!

Kghhk!

Davey caught the rascal who could not breathe properly and let him float in the air.

[Heavenly Destroyer]

[Shifting Bones]

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!!!

The sound of flesh being hit by something heavy rang across the classroom. Timmy bounced in the air non-stop for a few minutes before collapsing back onto the ground.

Kghhhk

Hmm It seems like I have to do this four or five more times.

After hearing Daveys murmur, Timmy immediately jumped up and increased the distance between them.

How is it? Do you feel like its easier to move?

H How?

You guys will feel a pain thats worse than death. However, I will make sure to keep you still. Now, now. We dont have much time left. What are you guys doing? Come at me.

The students were all shocked by Daveys calm and relaxed smile. Everyone gritted their teeth, hoping to punch him in the face once there was a chance. However, they could not easily achieve such a feat even though they clearly outnumbered him.

Youre not coming? Then, even though it would be a bit troublesome for your instructor, I will go to you myself.

Baaaaaaaaang!!!

The students all turned pale

When the podium was smashed into pieces with just a light tap of Daveys feet, the students all turned pale. They could see him charging toward them.

***

Kyaaaaaaaack!!!

Instructor! Instructor! I was wrong! Please forgive meeeeeeeaaaaaack!!! Alyssa Yosefov, who was running away, screamed as she twisted her body away.

On the other hand, Josiah, who was caught between two fists that grinded on her temples, threw her usual nonchalance and calm away. She cried and screamed, Damn you! Fire bolt!

The entire classroom of Class F was in a mess. However, no one would be able to hear the students screams. After all, Silence Magic and Rock Magic had already been casted around the classroom.

Shit! Its not easy to deal with him!

The students swung their staff recklessly at Davey while sporting despairing looks on their faces. They were terrified.

Huhuhuhuhu!

Dont Dont come here! You crazy psycho!

Did you just say psycho? You better watch what you say about your instructor.

Grab!

The moment Davey twisted and snatched the staff, the student immediately let go of that one weapon he had and tried to step away.

Stab!

Of course, Davey had no intentions of letting him go. He immediately swiped at the students feet and made him lose balance. Then, he lifted his index finger and flicked him on his forehead.

[Holy Magic]

[Sacred Finger]

The students would have nothing to gain from being aware of the fact that Davey was the Saint. In fact, their awareness did not even matter in this situation. They were, after all, still wondering just what kind of power that Davey wielded. They were not sure if he was using holy magic, the power of a sword master, or elemental magic. They had completely no idea.

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab!!!

In the end, the student collapsed while foaming at the mouth. This was after Davey had finished massaging all of the points that he needed to stab at with his index finger.

Hell wake up after ten seconds. Next!!! Davey said, looking around.

That was when he saw Josiah preparing her magic amidst the fleeing students. From what it looked like, the girl had already noticed the changes in her body.

Josiah Frances. When casting magic and preparing a huge attack, what do you think will happen if you show that to your opponent?

Who knows? At the very least, I will be able to get their attention.

Does this rascal not know what fear means?

Baaaang!!!

Josiahs eyes grew wide when she saw Davey lifting the broken podium easily and throwing it at her. She moved away hurriedly, casting the magic that she had prepared and jumping away from the podiums trajectory.

Kyaaaack! You crazy psycho!

Psycho? Ill show you what a psycho is like!

Cold sweat dripped down Josiahs forehead when Davey suddenly appeared in front of her. Looking at him in the eyes, she quickly stuttered out an excuse. That In-Instructor? Youre not going to beat up a weak and helpless lady, right?

Josiah Frances. My educational treatment is equal for all genders.

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab!

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

Dozens of students charged forward, trying to brush even the corner of Daveys collar. Unfortunately, none of their magical attacks and occasional swing of staves could reach him.

In fact, Davey was the one beating up a randomly chosen student at a time.

Ugh Kghhk Damn you, you violent instructor

If you still have the strength to talk, then I suggest that you run as quickly as possible.

Josiah felt like she was a frog on a dissection board. She glared at Davey.

Everything was a mess. Some of the students lost their fighting spirit, trying to creep back as far away from Davey as they could. They tried even harder to do so after seeing Davey take advantage of the gaps in their defense and hit them without any hesitation.

The students began wondering if this was what pain truly felt like.

The three rascals over there. Dont even think about running outside.

Hiyaaaaaaa!!! Timmy shouted as he launched a surprise attack. His punch was much more ferocious than before.

Opening the clogged vessels was like releasing a dam. After days of Daveys hellish training, the students gradually began to realize that slight changes were occurring within them. The movement of mana in their bodies had become so active that their physical bodies felt so much lighter than before.

Stab!!!

Of course, despite the increase in their strength, they were still nothing but fledglings in front of Davey.

Just like a snake, Davey snatched Timmys arm and twisted it back all the while using his thumb, index finger, and middle finger to stab at his clogged vessels. Then, Davey stretched both of his hands out and spun it in both directions as if he was making a circle.

[Heavenly Destroyer]

[Tai Chi]

[Merger Arts]

[Yin Yang Fiery Sky]

Boom!!!

Black and white energy appeared, forming a huge yin-yang pattern, as Davey slammed Timmy on the ground. The attack was so powerful that the yin-yang pattern remained on the ground where Timmy had been slammed.

Keheok!!!

After what he perceived to be a deadly attack, Timmy only felt his body becoming lighter and more agile. In fact, he was not the only one. Most of the students, including Josiah, had realized the truth earlier on and had a creepy thought running through their heads

Im Im not a masochist

Im definitely not feeling better, because Im getting hit

As the rascals realized the change in their bodies and mumbled in disbelief, Davey smiled. Is that so? Im sorry to tell you this but your instructor has the hobby of bullying others.

You madman!!!

The children once again spread out in a hurry. Realizing that it was useless to stage surprise attacks on their own, they started to cooperate with one another. Some of them moved to distract Davey while the others prepared magic that was very hard to avoid or escape from.

Even if the students were mostly at the 1st to 3rd Circle, they could create a huge attack by casting magic and working together

Celvice!!! Get away!!!

The students magic shone brightly. The moment Celvice, who was enduring the attacks from Davey, stepped back, the students threw a huge fireball toward their instructor.

[Heed my call!!! Burn everything to ashes!!!]

[Fire Breath]

Josiah was the only one who could cast the 4th Circle magic, Fire Breath, in this class. But thanks to the help and support of the other students, she was able to cast a stronger magic spell that was very different from the Fire Breath that she usually used.

Mages usually struggled to cooperate in such a manner, and Davey was sure that the students themselves were unaware of this fact. They were most likely just trying to match each other on instinct.

Great! Good job! Davey praised the students as he looked at the fireball coming his way.

Then, he raised his arm toward the Fire Breath and

[Dispel]

Claaaaaang!!!

Just like that, the Fire Breath that the students had worked so hard for was easily dispelled. It disappeared before it could even reach Davey.

Impossible

Even if hes a Swordmaster, this is

Davey addressed the panicking students, Both mages and Swordmasters use elemental mana. As long as you can see the flow, you will be able to use magic. Of course, that is to say that one has to memorize the formula and follow the proper method of casting magic.

Even though he was lecturing them on the theories, Davey did not give the students a break. He reached his hand out and circulated his mana before saying, Watch everything that I do. Look at how my mana moves and how it flows!

[Gather]

Shwaaaaaaa!

Davey used his mana to grab some of the students by the necks, completely overpowering them and dragging them to his side.

Dont move. Do you want Loisa Foren to die?

You crazy bastard!!!

How could a teacher hold a student hostage? The students could not help but watch Davey in disbelief.

However, Davey ignored the students, kicked Loisa on the back of her knees to force her to kneel down, and hit her on the back a couple of times.

This rascal is done. Shes already fine.

You coward! Can you still be considered a teacher?!

How long can a mage use hand-to-hand combat in a fight?! What are you, a knight?

Boom!!!

The punk, Timmy Lendarogue, was the most aggressive amongst the students. Due to that reason, Davey made sure to take a lot of time when going up against him.

Boom!!!

Timmy stiffened up once his arm was dislocated from Daveys swift movements. He screamed, Keuaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

When you scream, you show a gap in your defenses to your enemies. Be careful with what you say and utter out loud. Even if it hurts, pretend that youre not hurting. A war of nerves is very important in all aspects of a battle.

Kghhhk

Davey hit Timmy, who instinctively closed his mouth, on the back a couple times. He made sure to unblock the clogged vessels in Timmy before throwing the boy toward Josiah.

Dont Dont come here!

Get out of the way! Davey said as he left behind the two students, who slammed into each other. He then explained, Each mana has its own characteristic. Mana might be inanimate, but it is similar to a living creature. Do not lose too much of your mana. After all, mana is a mages lifelong companion.

Kghhhkk What ridiculous

Look closely? Davey whispered calmly as he raised some of his mana in his body. This bastard hit me, so I am going to punish him, right?

As if Daveys words were the signal, his mana suddenly began moving according to his will and beating up the panicked boy without any mercy. The mana being used was unprocessed and simple, but it still resembled the 1st Circle Magic Missile.

Im not asking you to reach this level right here and now, but I do expect you to be able to control your mana. How can you rascals be called mages if you cant even use 90% of your own mana?!

Boom!!!

Attending these non-stop lessons, the students eventually lost their ability to even move.

Ha

Im not a masochist Im not

There were also several students who had curled up in shame.

Youre going to end up killing someone at this rate, Davey. What kind of lesson is this?

No. The effects are sufficient enough.

After giving Perserque a calm answer, Davey approached one of the students who was not breathing roughly like the rest of the class.

H Heup?! In Instructor! I was wrong! Please forgive me!!!

Were done for today. Everyone, get up! Davey said calmly, helping the student stand up. Everyone turned to look at him as he continued, You all did a good job. We will finish our basic lesson with this.

It would not be strange if the students were furious at the classes they had been made to attend. However, as they fought with Davey, they had all realized one thing. They had discovered that their mana grew more active and free the longer they fought against him. It felt like their broken bones were healed and they could finally move much more freely than before.

At the same time, they felt confused. They couldnt help but wonder why their mana was moving freely around their bodies now.

Timmy, what is the best magic that you can cast?

Fire Fire Bolt.

Alright. Try casting it once.

Timmy sat up and moved his staff silently. At the same time, his magic which used to be the size of a finger started becoming bigger. It eventually grew to the size of a soccer ball.

This was a strange phenomenon. After all, Fire Bolt was a magic that could only be the size of ones palm no matter the mana being added into it. But now, it had grown so much that it looked like a 3rd Circle Fireball.

Josiah, who was at the 4th Circle, found herself speechless. Her eyes had grown as wide as saucers as she looked at Timmys Fireball that had grown three times bigger than normal. She muttered, Whatthe hell is this?

The effects are awesome, no?

Timmys eyes grew wide at Daveys question. What? How?

What do you think the lesson was when I first gave you the pickaxe? Davey asked, effectively silencing the entire class. He said, It seems like you guys are still unaware. That pickaxe is a disgusting item that can suck away the mana in your body whether you want it to or not.

Being unaware of that fact, the rascals had continued to circulate their mana and swing the pickaxe in their hands. When Davey had asked them to carry water, detect the magic stone bombs in the forest, and infiltrate the goblin settlement, he had been teaching them a way to hide their mana. Simply put, there had not been a single lesson that aimed only at working them to the bone.

The students looked down at their hands blankly. They were speechless for a long time. It seemed like they still could not fathom the unexpected changes that had happened in their bodies.

Looking at the dazed students, Davey told them about their next class. After all, they had just finished warming up and were ready to take on another class. He made eye contact with them as he said, This time, were going to study theories. This lesson will be different from your boring lessons that simply crammed the theories in your heads. I dont want you to simply memorize the simple formulae and principles.

The students then saw Davey throwing the remaining textbook in the class away.

Davey said with a grin, In this class, I will make you deconstruct and interpret the formula by yourselves.

If you fail, I will burn you with a Fireball. So, you have to be prepared for the consequences.

Is is it because its less hot than Hell Fire?

Davey ignored Perserque, who had watched everything from behind the scenes and spoke as if every single action of his had been absurd.
