224 Master Torturer Maxwell (2/2)

Sure, they could hit Legion, but whatever damage they could inflict upon Legion is pointless. Legion is not a biological object, and therefore, Legion is not affected physical attacks. Not even magical attacks.

”Now. What should I do about you seven?”

I question as more lights descend from the sky. Oh great. More privileged idiots and their mothers or fathers. Given that the case, they have been watching this battle remotely for a while.

And despite that, they have not bother to step in to stop the five idiots from hurting my student. That is enough for me to straight up murder them all. I can probably do that, and no one can stop me, not in this Kingdom anyway.

Or any other nearby countries.

”Greeting, Master Maxwell. I am –

An old man greets me, but he shuts up when I glare at him. The magical aura that I radiate is far more than enough to force him and everyone around me to their knees.

It is not the first circle aura, however. It is the third circle aura, as I use the headmaster's magical core to simulate it with unlimited magical energy.

”Did I allow you speak?”

I question as the ground begin to shake. The earth beneath their feet cracks, as if there is an invisible hand presses down everyone, choking the life out of them.

”N-no. A-apology, Great One!”

The old man calls out and slams his forehead to the earth. It is a sign of submission. Everyone else do the same, including Sapphire. Even though she did not feel the aura, she could see it clearly, radiating from me.

It is so dense. Incredibly suffocating.

I keep the aura for a bit longer, knocking a few weaker Archmage as well as all the Mages. It is a show of power, as that is the only thing that these people can understand.

Azula is governed by the strong after all, and I have to be the strongest for my words to become laws – absolute laws.

”You may speak.”

I state when silence reigns the whole area for several minutes. No one dare to say a single world. Not before me. My presence is alone to scare them shitless. To them, I am practically God.

”Great One. We seek forgiveness. The younglings do not understand what power they have offended in their foolishness. Please allow us to chastise them in your stead. They will only dirty your hands and waste your time otherwise. We are willing to compensate for everything.”

The elder requests. His name is Liao. Sounds Chinese. He does look like those old farts in those ancient Chinese movies with long ass beard coming from their long ass eyebrows. In fact, most of those people with him are Chinese origin.

Not all of them, however.

”You assume that I do not like to get my hand dirty, Elder Liao. You may not have heard, but I am the newest Master at the academy. Master Torturer.”

I state, making everyone tense up. Even my poor student, Sapphire. Poor as in she really has no money to buy anything other than the absolutely bare essentials.

If it was not for the clothes that I had gifted her, she would be wearing rags. That would reflect on me, pretty badly. Having face seems very important here, so I should have face.

Well. With all that happen here, my face is probably pretty scary. No one will start shit in front of me, and I think it is a good time to purge some factions from the academy.

I want my school to be utterly cleaned and spotless.

Eh… I wonder if this is George Collins talking or me talking. The man always wants to run a school, just because he had never had a good school life, and it is rubbing off on me big time.

I do not mind as I have plans to start a magic school in the prime-reality, right after I introduce actual magic to the world. It is a good of a time as any to learn how to run a school.

Not me personally since I probably cannot chill around here forever. I will let Legion do the hard work with a lot of assistants from Kozak and others, and then benefits afterwards.

”Since you have failed to discipline your children when you have the chance, I will discipline them for you. Do not worry, they will not be alone in this, as the headmaster did request me to purge his school of everything that disruptive.”

I tell the mass as spatial rift begins to form. Hands emerge from within and grab hold of each of those badly injured brats. Two hands also grab the two second-circle mages as well. They did not go without protest, but it is pointless effort.

”No! Please have mercy, Great One!”

One of the women calls out. She is quite a looker despite being 40 or 50 years old. Honestly, she could pass for 20 or younger. Magic does wonder for the body, and I have already thought about introducing it to the prime reality.

In fact, Infinite Health is already experimenting with the healing and stamina potion. One can heal all manners of wound, and the other boost stamina and vitality. They will be quite a hot product for the public.

There are side effects, however. Because of that, I did not release them just yet. Besides, it is still 1990 in the prime timeline, and there is no reason to introduce all magic products, especially when everyone is watching my companies.

”This is me being merciful, and there is nothing you can say to change my mind about this. I am simply not interested in your words. I am also not interested in any material needs, at least at your level. Do not think that I am only an Archmage. I am far more powerful than that.”

I brag a little before vanishing into thin air. I take Sapphire with me as well, obviously. Leaving her right there would be kind of stupid. I also have a look at what Kozak is doing with Eliana.

They have fought for a bit before my name comes up, and now they are just talking. Honestly, I wanted them to fight a bit more just to see how they fight, but there will be plenty of opportunity.

Kozak is going ahead with what he had told me, and it is probably for the best at the moment. It would stop the human's encroachment into the forest for a while. Likely a few months or so.

That gives me plenty of time to fix up some problems here at the Arcane Academy, getting it to run as smoothly in ever.

”Sapphire. There is something I need you to do for me.”

I speak up once I am standing in the private office.

It is the same office that I had talked to Kozak and killed the headmaster. More like replaced him since he is a dead man walking anyway. No one has noticed the headmaster has been replaced, and Legion can mimic anyone.

”Yes, Master Maxwell. I will carry out your will to the best of my ability.”

Sapphire responses, bowing deeply. She does not give a single thought to what I will ask of her. If she did, she would realize that we are alone in a sealed room. No one can disturb us. No one dare too, not after what happen.

Information about me should be spread far and wide within a couple of days or so, and that is exactly what I want. It is time to make my mark on this continent. Gathering as much information as I can as well.

”Are you not afraid of what I am going to ask of you, Sapphire?”

I question and examine her face. She tries not to match my gaze as several things enter her mind, but despite knowing those things, she resigns herself and will do whatever I need to the best of her ability.

Seeing her like that, I simply smile and take a seat behind the desk.

”Please tell me everything that have happened in the past year. Do not skip on the details as I do have plenty of time. Time that I would not spend anywhere else. No. Not when I have a wonderful student as you.”

I tell her. It is a compliment, and it has the effect that I desire. Unfortunately, Legion informs me that Sapphire actually prefers girls to boys. Sapphire is actually in love with Lavender, despite not realizing it herself.

Oh woops. I forgot about that. Damn.
