130 The Fall (2)
Arthur’s second day as a teacher began with him sitting in the library, reading all the books he could find about the tattoo magic.
He started from the basics and slowly went to more advanced topics. His goal was to learn a lot about it during the month, and create his own tattoo using his sunlight energy, as it would surely increase the power by a lot.
The ruthlessness of the new teacher spread throughout the school, and a high number of students were scared to have classes with him. So much that the president of the school called out Arthur to speak inside his office.
“Did you really broke the arm of the Emperor’s son?” The president said.
“Depends. Will it get me in trouble?”
“From us? No, but once the Emperor knows about this, then surely he will come looking for revenge. I hope you have a way to deal with that, as even I can’t protect you against him.”
“Don’t worry about it. You asked me to come here to talk about this?”
“Mostly, yes. I heard the rumors that the students are saying you’re a scary teacher, but I saw one of your classes, and I think you are doing a good job. The last teacher did not teach a single thing, and that is why he was fired. I truly hope you can fix these lazy students and put them to work.”
“I’ll, don’t worry.”
“Good. Well, I’ll not take more of your time. See ya!”
Arthur left the office after that. The president of the school seemed like a good old man, but he wouldn’t blindly trust the words of that person.
After all of that, it was already afternoon, which meant he had to work. The students that did not have a class with him yet passed through the same sparring as the others, and the classes that had already done that went to the first actual teaching, which was about the spear stances.
He also shared a routine of exercises for the students, and said that he wanted to see improvements on their body condition within a week, or else they would lose half of their grades.
It did not matter how much they trained with the spear if their bodies did not improve as well. They trained with wooden weapons that were lighter than actual weapons, but that did not mean they shouldn’t increase their strength.
Also, with a poor body condition, they would lose their breaths after fighting for three minutes.
Some students complained about it, but some were excited as they finally had a teacher that taught them something, and not only theory after theory, like the last one.
The routine of reading in the morning, teaching in the afternoon, and resting with his girls during the evening continues for a week without major problems.
Arthur and Wisa had sex every night, and Jane was slowly making small moves, getting ready to have her moment with him as well.
Now, things went wrong on the 8th day since Arthur became a teacher. Out of a sudden the president of the school asked him to go in a hunting trip with a few of his friends, saying that the new students that were on their way to the school had faced a danger, and that they needed to save them.
It was strange. How did they know about it? If these students were truly in danger, then there was no way they would get that information that quickly.
He was almost sure that it was a plan for them to silence him and kill him. Maybe that shop owner who made the fake ID was behind this, or the Emperor somehow already knew that Arthur had broken his son’s arms. Either way, someone was trying to plot against him, and he wouldn’t let that pass.
“I’ll do my best to rescue these students. You have my word.”
Arthur would play along with it and kill these people.

Wisa and Jane got to know all of this before Arthur left.
“I’ll be okay, don’t worry. There’s no way those people have a chance of fighting against me.”
The students were supposedly trapped inside a cave two days away from the city. Arthur used his mental link and asked Sully to follow them from high in the skies so no one could notice him.
It was just another safe measure if there were more people waiting inside that cave to kill him.
Arthur acted as a fool the whole way, as if he was concerned about the students, and asked them to go faster.
For the men that were with him, it was funny. There were no students, and they were there to kill him, but they still made an act.
“Don’t worry Akhur, we reach that place in 30 minutes.”
“Akhur? Where did I hear that name?”
The cave entered Arthur’s sight, and when they entered that place, there were no students there, but a few other masked people.
“What is happening here?”
All of them laughed, and one of them said, “this is your bad day, Akhur. Someone wants you dead.”
Who said that was one man that brought Arthur there, but the people that were waiting inside the cave did not know that the name of the target was Akhur?
“Akhur? Wait, a second. Our task is to kill Akhur?”
“It is, yes. Is something wrong?”
“There is only one Akhur in the desert, and that is the celestial.”
“Don’t speak nonsense. That’s just a myth, and surely more people have the same name.”
Arthur watched all of that with a calm expression. He had already seen all the levels of these people, and they were all ants in his eyes.
There was only one thing that worried him, though. The president of the school was almost sure he would never return, but what would happen when he did? How could he explain the death of all these people?
“All right. Could you all please shut up?”
“Who do you think you are? Let me remind you-you are only a lamb that will be killed right here, right now.”
Arthur gazed at that person and dashed towards him at an astonishing speed. He used his palm as a knife, hitting the head of that man, cutting to the chest, splitting the man in half.
