223 My Words are Absolute (2/2)

Sapphire utters as blood streams out the corner of her lips. Her soft lips. Beautiful lips. And despite all the tears in her eyes, they are as mesmerizing as ever. If she could see through my expression clearly, she could see how lustful I am.

Sigh. I need to summon Eliana and get rid of my boner, but she is probably busy having a chat to Kozak right about now. Legion confirms that, as it is keep tracking of Eliana through Kozak.

Strange that Legion is unable to previously. Probably due to the barrier protecting that whole magical forest. It is a barrier erected by a Goddess after all. Goddess of the Moon, who is a no show. Probably already dead or licking her wounds somewhere.

”There is no need to speak, Sapphire.”

I finally speak for the first time before she is whole again. Bruce as well, but not due to me or anything of the sort. The damage that had been caused by the wind blade is very effective as it ripped cleaning through all of the micromachines and severing the connection between each individual block.

But again, such damage is not permanent for something like Bruce. Also, those five idiots assume that Bruce is a tamed creature. If they bother to use some analytic spells, they would know it is a golem.

I suppose they did not think of that, being lower second-circle mages after all.

Should I waste them? They are still kids after all, and their profile are on displayed for me at my mental request. Maybe I should call these profile rap sheet. That is, their criminal record. They have been very naughty boys.

Very, very naughty boys. Time to discipline them then. It is my job as Master Torturer. Not really, but I am the closest to a disciplinary group for the academy. While there is a prison for mages somewhere underneath the academy, it is only used to keep people who are against the headmaster.

I will have to refurbish it. While I am at it, I will refurbish the whole school as well. It is better if Legion is the school. That way, I have eyes and ears everywhere within its walls.

”What the!? Are my eyes playing trick on me?”

One of the idiots calls out, seeing that Sapphire heals from all of her wounds. The others notice it too, but they are too shock to say anything. This is because even her clothes are completely restored with her magical power and mana reserve.

Mana is just another term for magical energy. I usually do not use it as it feels like a game. Maybe that is because I come from the modern world. Probably.

”Student greets Master Maxwell!”

Sapphire calls out and clasps her hands together to give me a respectful bow. Without her injuries as well as bloodstained faces, she looks a lot more attractive. Is she only like 15 or 16 at the moment?

That mean, she has not fully developed as woman yet. Ahem. What am I thinking? She is my student, so I should not try to get into her pants.

Although, it is probably as easy as telling Sapphire to strip out of her robe and get on the bed. I would not need to resort to using the Commandment ability either because it is my right as her master.

Sapphire would do it without much protest, but her opinion of me would become rock bottom.

Better to make her fall for me, and then reap the benefit. Eh? Maybe I should stop thinking of ways to bed her, especially when there are plenty of other beautiful women around. A couple of them are part of Bronwen's entourage.

They dress quite skimpy, and I did not speak much myself during then because I was ogling them from behind the desk. If I had any question about whether a machine can get an erection, I have my answer.

Ahem.

”Sapphire. Please teach these mages some humility. You do not need to hold back this time around. I want to see how much you have progressed, but of course, do not kill them, as I want to have a word with them before that.”

And progress a lot she did. With a word of acknowledgement from her, she proceeds to beat the living crap out of those guys, casting spell much faster than them and striking each one with precision.

”What the hell!? How the fuck is she so strong? Was she holding back!? There is no way she is a fucking mage of the first circle. She has to be at least middle second-circle!”

”No. Higher. Goddamn it. Stop her so I can set up a formation. Ah!”

”Fire – Gak!”

Screams eventually replaces all kind of words, as the five idiots are burned and impaled by fire spears and balls and walls. Some other elements in between as well.

While Sapphire is naturally a fire mage, she does know other elements to compliment her power.

It is stupid to just learn and master a single element, as some monsters and creatures are completely immune to certain element naturally. Mages also build up resistance to certain element over certain period of time, thus a real mage master all the basic elements.

That is being Wind, Earth, Fire, Water and Lightning. Kozak masters all of them. In effect, he is one of the most versatile Archmage ever. He would be considered as a Pentagon Mage.

Being a Pentagon Mage allows him to use a host of sub-elemental magic. Like steam. Metal and so on, but all of this is not really important right now.

What is important is seeing how weak these five second-circle mages are. They probably have skipped peak stage of the first circle and swallowed a lot of boosting items. Not probably. More than certainly.

Not only that, they have a lot of help from their elders too.

Doing all of that is extremely detrimental to their growth as mages, thus it is already showing severely in this life or death battle. It is a life and death battle even though I did tell Sapphire not to kill them.

Of course, Sapphire still attacks them with all intention to kill, but she stops short of ending their lives.

And before she finishes teaching them all some humility, a beam of light crashes nearby. An insanely powerful aura radiates outwards and slams against Sapphire, forcing her to her knees.

”Master/Teacher!”

Three of the severely beaten boys call out tearfully. They are the only one who are still conscious. One more is, but he cannot speak at the moment. His face is smashed in with several of his teeth missing.

Sapphire does not hold back, and it is a good thing. No need to hold back against these young masters.

Yes. They are young masters. Annoying pests that plague many great stories, and as young masters, it is their right to have reinforcement. An older man clearly an Upper Archmage.

And there are two others. A man and a woman roughly in their mid-twenties. The guy is a good looking as far as good-looking guys go, and the girl is with impressive proportion.

Both are probably direct students of the Archmage.

”How dare you harm my –

The older man is instantly killed. His bloodied head with torned spinal cord is now within my powerful grip. There is no need to hear whatever he is going to say.

I will deal with him later. I will deal with all of them later.

The other two are utterly shocked as they did not see me move, and so are the others.

Sapphire included as for me to kill an Archmage like that, I must be of the fifth-circle or even higher.

I did not use magic or anything of the sort. It is purely speed.

Well. With the help of freezing time. No one can defend against that, at least not these mages at their level of magic. Time is absolute, and my words are absolute.

Everyone will learn that, including those that are under my wings.

”Please continue, Sapphire. You have not taught them all humility yet, and until you do, they will not learn that they are nothing in my eyes.”
