Chapter 169: Maizen Tyren(2)
With the sudden appearance of the dark mage, the students started to retreat hesitantly.
Despite receiving education to face dark mages, there were hardly any students in the first year with practical combat experience.
Moreover, the opponent was a dark mage estimated to be at least level 5 or 6. And to make matters worse, it was a fallen dark mage who used to teach them.
"Professor, why...?"
When a student trembled and asked, Maizen smiled faintly.
"... Do I still look like a professor to you? It's truly a regrettable perception."
Maizen slowly scanned the students with a penetrating gaze.
They were still young and weak, but in a few decades, or even a few years, they would surpass his own achievements and possess talent to rise higher.
Does that make sense?
'How much effort did I put in...?'
He, too, polished his magic skills, studied, and trained every day.
