MTL NOVEL Chapter 58
Chapter 58: Dark Demon Eats Watermelon Up Close
“Huit Gold, deduct 50 points. Come to my office after class.”
Professor Kazel’s voice was calm yet tinged with anger.
Everyone in the classroom involuntarily paused their pens.
The sound of nibs on paper vanished instantly, and the entire room fell silent.
In such an atmosphere,
Huit lifted his head, his face pale, his lips twitching under the gazes of countless students.
“Hmph.”
Professor Kazel gave one last glance at the “Forbidden Love” that had already calmed down, then turned and continued walking.
“Keep copying the board!”
This was probably the first time he had been angry since the start of the semester.
As the most popular professor among the first-year students, Professor Kazel always presented himself as approachable and friendly. His teaching style was also very interesting, never boring.
This made the students immediately think that it must have been the Hero’s Child who committed an unbearable mistake!
The eyes of the students from the Knight Academy still carried a hint of pity.
The students from the Noble Academy mostly looked with mockery and schadenfreude.
Even Dark had his mouth half-open, unsure whether to feel sympathy or laugh.
【Wrath -1】
His anger had subsided significantly.
Dark refocused his attention on his notebook.
As for this matter, even if he thought about it with his toes, he could guess that it must have been Huit using the “Forbidden Love” to shine it on Professor Kazel’s nape.
Was it easy to shine on the back of a professor’s head?
Professor Kazel was a legendary alchemist from Merlin’s era, one of the few remaining grandmasters!
Although he had now switched to being a Magus, it only broadened his areas of expertise and made him even stronger.
How could Huit use a flower card to peek at the thoughts of such a high-level Magus? Isn’t that just courting death?
It was fortunate that Professor Kazel had a good temper.
If it were Professor Jones with the bloodline of a Giant, he might have slapped him!
Tsk…
Impulsive hands!
…
After finishing copying the board, Dark glanced over casually.
Huit seemed very nervous but finally started copying the board seriously with Robert.
Time ticked by slowly.
Finally, it was time for class to end.
Professor Kazel glanced at Huit and then packed up his textbooks and left the classroom.
Huit lowered his head and dragged his feet, tidying up his books.
Robert couldn’t help asking, “What do we do?”
Huit replied mournfully, “What else can we do? Go to the office.”
Robert racked his brain and finally came up with some comforting words, “Relax, Huit. The professor has already deducted fifty points from you. There won’t be any other punishment, right?”
“What other punishment?”
Huit suddenly raised his head when reminded, “He won’t expel me, will he?”
Thinking of this, Huit was extremely frightened.
Getting his credits deducted to a negative number was nothing compared to this!
He received the Saint Maryann Academy’s admission notice at the orphanage, and the principal personally brought him to the academy.
If he got expelled, he would have nowhere to go!
Saint Maryann Academy was his only refuge.
…
No matter how much Robert tried to comfort him, Huit wasn’t listening anymore.
He arrived at Professor Kazel’s office, knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Huit turned the doorknob, pushed open a crack, and cautiously peered inside.
But what he saw first was not the angry Professor Kazel.
Instead, it was Dark Demon, leaning on the sofa and sipping red tea.
…
When Dark saw Huit peering in, he smiled amiably and pointed to the door with his teacup.
Huit realized this and quickly entered the office, closing the door behind him.
Then he finally saw Professor Kazel sitting behind the desk.
Professor Kazel’s expression was calm, not as angry as expected.
With Dark, a fellow student, around, Huit felt less nervous.
He lowered his head and walked a few steps forward, stopping in front of the desk, and said, “Professor.”
“Dwang.”
Huit shuddered.
It was Dark who put the teacup back on the coffee table.
…
Dark didn’t teleport; it was just that Huit walked slowly, so Dark arrived at the office earlier.
Since it was caused by a flower card, Dark easily intervened.
But he hadn’t chatted with Professor Kazel for long before Huit arrived, so he sat down casually, eating watermelon, oh no, drinking tea!
After all, he was familiar with this office!
…
Professor Kazel raised his head, tapping the tabletop with his fingertips, “Bring that Magus card over for me to look at.”
Though reluctant, Huit handed over the “Forbidden Love” under Professor Kazel’s intimidating gaze.
Professor Kazel frowned after taking the card, “A flower card? You turned this flower card into a Magus card?”
Huit bravely replied, “Yes, Professor.”
Professor Kazel took out a Magus card from his drawer, swiped it on the table, and instantly formed a cubic barrier around the “Forbidden Love.”
Then he picked up the Magic Pen and pointed it at the “Forbidden Love.”
The mana gathered into a beam, piercing through the barrier and entering the “Forbidden Love.”
Huit watched nervously.
Dark couldn’t help but widen his eyes, full of curiosity.
But after the “Forbidden Love” contacted Professor Kazel’s mana, it only trembled slightly, releasing a thin mist.
Professor Kazel frowned, “It seems to have undergone deep binding.”
Then he looked up at Huit, “Do you have anything to say?”
Huit bit his lip, saying nothing.
Professor Kazel continued, “According to the school rules, even professors don’t have the right to excessively probe students’ secrets, especially regarding Magus card crafting. But if you’re willing… well, it looks like you aren’t.”
Professor Kazel waved his hand, dissolving the barrier.
Then he pushed the “Forbidden Love” back to Huit, sternly saying, “Remember what I said at the beginning of the semester. Magus cards themselves have no inherent good or evil, but their users do. Unauthorized probing of others’ thoughts is a major taboo. I only deducted 50 points because it was your first offense. I hope you can learn from this.”
Huit took back the “Forbidden Love,” his back already soaked with sweat.
Under Professor Kazel’s watchful gaze, he mustered the courage to say, “Professor, I will remember your teachings.”
…
Once Huit left the office, Robert hurriedly approached him.
Huit closed the door, feeling light-headed, and leaned on Robert.
Talking to Professor Kazel felt like carrying an invisible pressure, repeatedly crushing his mental will.
All he could think about now was never doing it again!
