2 Mock Battle

"You're our teacher?! Bullshit! I sense no magic power from you. You do not release even a single faint of your aura."

Everyone in this classroom disbelieves that I'm really their teacher.

"I'm suppressing my aura because once I release it, you'll be all on your knees."

How's that? I do hope that intimidate you all.

"Stop saying crap."

Dolly said and turned her sight off of me in disgust.

Those words were followed an egg being thrown at me but luckily before it hit me, I avoided it.

"I really don't believe that you're our teacher. Arthur Beaumont, I, Amelia Kleine De la Roche, challenge you to a mock battle with my team. If you're really a teacher, this number must be nothing, right?"

I thought that revealing the truth behind me suppressing my aura would be enough.

"10 people? Take everyone in this class. I accept your challenge, Ms. Amelia."

30 students are nothing. They know nothing about how terrifying magic is.

"Everyone? You sure? You'll end up dead."

A girl named Rosemarie threatened me.

"Please do try to kill me."

I launched those words with a gentle smile.

The principal got notified of the duel between me and the class 1-1 and he assisted us to the arena.

Upon reaching the arena, we went to our positions and the announcer stated the rules of the mock battle.

"This match will be placed with a handicap: If you, class 1-1, managed to put a single scratch on Sir Arthur then class 1-1 wins."

"A scratch, you said?! Don't mock us! We will kill this bastard!"

The class 1-1 said in unison.

"Good grief. Let me see you all try."

"In 3....2....1...FIGHT!"

The class 1-1 divided themselves into 4 groups: There's a group that will receive my attack for short, the Tanks; There's sages, supports and spies.

They're applying the rules of class fights into this mock battle.

"Let me show you how terrifying I am."

I took off the diamond ring that suppresses my aura.

Half of the class and the whole audience were affected by my aura that they were brought to their knees in awe of my power.

"Ready to give up, Ms. Amelia?"

"Like hell!"

That girl's a stubborn one huh.

"Those who can resist his aura, let's show this mongrel the consequence of pretending to be a teacher of this academy!"

"Yes, Ms. Amelia!"

The other girls answered in unison.

"You done girls?! Let me enjoy this some more!"

My other self is kicking in.

I now can't control myself. I concentrated vast amount of magic power in my palm, rushed so fast towards Rosemarie and I hit her abdomen with my palm.

"When did he?!"

Amelia became pale was shocked by my speed.

The impact is so strong that it almost destroyed the barrier that protects the audience.

"Rosemarie!"

Every one of them shouted as they saw their classmate unconscious.

She managed to withstand that blow huh. She's got potential.

I returned back in my position in a blink of an eye.

"Sages, use your ultimate spell. Supports, help them recover if one doesn't have enough magic power anymore."

Amelia uses her charm to lead her team. What an efficient leader. It's a shame she's the enemy given her charms and her ability to resist my aura.

The sages started casting their ultimate spell. It happens to be Prison Fire. It is a spell that encloses me in a cage of fire and while inside it, it drains my life force. Attempting to escape from that spell is useless because even though it is a cage of fire, its cages are harder than diamond. Even I will have a hard time breaking it.

"Prison Fire, huh."

"It is! It is the ultimate spell of sages here that encloses our enemy in a cage and drain its life force. You are one of a kind, mongrel. Rejoice for our first move will also be our final."

Amelia is proud of their strength, not knowing that it won't be enough to defeat me.

I know I said it will be a pain in the ass even for me to break out of that cage but that is, if I use normal methods such as finding the root of this spell.

They really pulled casting Prison Fire!

Prison Fire requires a huge amount of magic power that typical mages of this age cannot produce. These girls have potential!

"Outstanding!"

After finishing the chant, they called out the spell's name for it to be casted.

"PRISON FIRE!"

Not a moment has passed yet I'm now in a cage of fire.

"Ah. It drains my life force. What a pain."

I talked to myself while drinking my milk and eating the bread that I brought.

"If you promise to give up and kiss my foot, mongrel, we'll let you go."

Amelia's using her status as a royal to persuade me.

"Like hell, idiot. I'd rather be consumed by these flames than to kiss a foot with eczema."

Hmp.

"What did you say?! Regret your foolishness in the afterlife, mongrel."

Amelia infuriated by my words, she gathered the mana in the air, condensing it in one place.

"Mana manipulation, huh? You've got potential."

"Take this!"

Amelia released the plasma-like ball onto me with great speed.

"It would be a pain in the ass if you all would know my secret. Time to break out of this cage."

I used the lowest type of fire magic to escape Prison Fire.

"Flame."

I used the lowest type of Fire Magic and escaped Prison Fire by blasting the stage downwards so it will push me upwards. I also focused my magic power on my head so that it can become harder that this cage's fire.

"I-impossible! How could he?!"

All of the girls are in awe of how powerful I am.

I landed right in front of Amelia and we had a conversation.

"Surrender or we'll continue this nonsense?"

I intimidated them and luckily, I got what I want.

"We..we surrender."

She reluctantly surrendered knowing she and her classmates has no chance to win against me altogether.

"The winner of this Mock Battle is, Sir Arthur Beaumont!"

The announcer then left his post, still having difficulties to stand because of my aura.

I am bothered by my conscience because the audience can't still stand so and by Rosemarie, which I knocked unconscious so, I healed them.

"Fountain of Life."

Fountain of Life is a wide-area healing spell. It is also considered lost now.

"He can use lost magic?!"

All of the persons in the arena spouted the same.

Rosemarie stood up and went to her classmates.

I went to my class and smiled at them.

"Next time, we'll surely defeat you, Sir Arthur."

My class said in unison.

"Come at my anytime."

I then went back to the classroom with them and started the class.
