Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 184 What is happening here!?

"Oi, 

Do you have a Deathwish or something?" 

A student sitting in the class spoke up. 

"Huh…?" 

The people from the group who just came into the classroom momentarily froze. It was as if they couldn't believe that someone actually dared to open his mouth when they were all standing in front of them. 

All of them started looking around, trying to find the person who spoke up, they, however, didn't have to do that as Vaan stood from his seat and started walking towards them with his hands in his pockets. 

"Who are you?" The student who looked like the leader of the group of swordsmen questioned with a frown on his face. 

He had never seen Vaan before, so he assumed that he was a new student. 

Vaan, however, completely ignored his question and glanced at the sword stuck on the student's waist, 

"I am guessing you are a swordsman, well, this is a Class for Mages, you are in the wrong place, leave. You all stink and the smell's disgustingly bad." 

"What…?" 

The leader of the swordsmen raised his eyebrow in surprise. He then turned around and glanced at other students, 

"What? Have you people finally found a mouth to speak for your sake?" 

He then glanced at Vaan and, 

"Are you the 4th Circle Star Mage everyone is talking about?" 

"Hey Hey, wasn't her name Elara Flameheart? That sounds like a name of a girl, how can he be Elara?" 

Another swordsman spoke up. 

"Heh, he doesn't look any different, now does he? All mages are a bunch of sissies, no?" 

"That's right! Hahahaha!" 

"Hahaha!" 

The group started laughing again. 

Vaan's mouth twitched in annoyance. 

He had to give to these people, they really had a talent for getting on a person's nerves. 

Honestly, Vaan wanted nothing more than to beat all these idiots up, but before that, 

"I have a question." 

He spoke up. 

"What is it, pretty boy?" 

"From what I know, this building is where Mages study, why are swordsmen like you here?" 

"Hmm? That's because we were curious." 

"Curious? About what?" 

"About the new 4th Circle Mage who just enrolled into the Academy, you see, hearing the name, I thought she would be quite a beauty, it's a pity that it turned out to be a man…" 

The man sighed. 

"So you came here because you were curious?" 

"Mhm." 

"Do the professors allow that?" 

"Haah? Why would I need permission to roam around my own academy? If there is a rule that stops us from doing that, I am sure someone would stop me, hasn't happened ever since I am here." 

The student laughed. 

"Right, I guess I was being tame." 

Vaan realized his mistakes as well. 

He was trying to be careful so as not to break any rules, but… 

Since when had he been the type of person to do that? 

'Maybe it is because of Mother's influence, 

Or…' 

Vaan then glanced at Elara, who was looking at him with a worried look on her face. What others didn't know was that Elara had already absorbed Mana and had circulated it through her entire body. 

She was one moment away from casting a spell and the moment she saw someone making an undesired move against Vaan, she would shoot. 

"Hmmm? Who are you looking at?" The student noticed Vaan gazing at Elara. His eyes finally fell on the red-haired woman and within a moment, his eyes brightened up, 

"Now that's what I am talking about!" 

He spoke out loud. Then completely ignoring Vaan, the student walked towards Elara and, 

"Hello bea-" However, before the student could complete, he was grabbed from behind and, 

*Smash* 

Vaan pushed him and he clashed straight with the rightmost table, 

"Agghh!" 

The edge of the table directly hit his back and he groaned in pain. 

"That's my fiancée." 

Vaan spoke in an imposing tone. 

"You fucking bastard!" The student shouted in anger. 

"Do you want to die!?" 

Hearing those words, a wide smile appeared on Vaan's face as he started walking towards the student, 

"Sure,

Are you gutsy enough to try?" 

The look on his face was almost demonic. 

"Get him!" 

The student shouted and the other swordsmen rushed at Vaan at the same time, trying to group up on him. 

Vaan didn't seem intimidated, he was confident in his skills and honestly, the number of instant spells he had with him, even a 5th Circle Mage would have a hard time fighting against him let alone these people. 

He just wanted to use this chance to see how far he can go when he starts bullying others by using these people's example. 

He wanted to know how flexible the Academy is when it came to this stuff and till now, he only found one thing worthwhile, 

These people were angry, however, they still didn't take out their swords, Vaan understood that taking out swords inside the classroom was not allowed and extending the same rule further, this probably was true for the Instant Spells as well. 

Vaan wanted to learn more about these things, however, 

"Fireball." 

*BOOOM* 

A fireball exploded right in front of Vaan and the swordsmen, pushing both of them back and then, 

"Back away." 

Elara ordered. 

"I won't miss the next shot." 

Around her were her 4 Magic Circles shining brightly. 

"Y-You! Are you crazy!? Why would you use Mana when we are in the Classroom!? Don't you know that the Academy Prohibits the use of Mana, Aura, and Weapons outside of official duels!?" 

One of the swordsmen shouted in anger. 

"And does the Academy allow ganging up on a single person?" Elara wasn't willing to back down and seeing her act like that, Vaan couldn't help but be proud.

His Elara had grown. 

Maybe he can push forward his plans of recruiting her into the group of bullies he was planning to create. 

'Being a bully would suit her a lot…' 

Vaan muttered inwardly and couldn't help but chuckle. 

"He attacked Alex first!" The swordsman countered as he pointed at Vaan. 

"You people shouldn't even be here in the first place." Vaan simply shrugged. 

"You speak awfully lot for a mere Mage!" The swordsman glared at Vaan. 

"And you speak awfully lot for someone who is scared shitless because a Mage used a spell." 

"You Bast-" 

"What is happening here?" 

Suddenly, a loud and imposing voice was heard. 

Then suddenly, an unnatural wind started flowing in the classroom, clearing away the smoke created from the fireball Elara shot. 

A 175 cm tall man walked into the classroom and with a strict look on his face, he repeated his question, 

"What is all this ruckus?" 

"…" 

The students turned silent. The Professor's eyes fell on the most eye-catching student and, 

"You, do you not know that using Mana is not allowed in the Classroom?" He questioned as he glanced at Elara. 

Honestly, he was surprised that such a young woman was already a 4th Circle Mage, however, right now, he needed to focus on a more urgent matter. 

Elara panicked when she was put into the spotlight like that, however, 

"It is their fault, Professor. They were the ones who barged into our class and were about to hit me, Elara only did it to save me." 

Vaan stepped forward. 

The Professor, however, did not like that, 

"I believe it was clear who I was talking to, no?" 

"I am telling you everything you want to know, am I not? 

Why does it matter who is answering your question?" 

"I am questioning the one at fault here." 

"And I am telling you that it is not her mistake." 

Vaan wasn't backing down. 

He didn't respect the 7th Circle Mages back in the Vesta Mansion, let alone a 6th or probably 5th Circle Mages here. 

These people can punish him for all he cares but in no world would he allow anyone to talk to his Elara like this. 

The professor narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Vaan. 

"I do not care who was at fault here, 

This girl used Mana and that is against the rules of the Academy." 

"So what did you expect us to do? Simply sit back and let these people beat us up? 

The fuck kind of logic is that? 

There are clearly 8 people, who should not even be in this building, standing inside the class, and then you come, questioning a girl who cast a spell to defend her classmate and showed enough control over her spell to not hurt even a single student, 

Are you sure you have the authority to be the judge here?" 

"Are you questioning my authority?" The Professor questioned back. 

"I am." 

"What is your name, Student?" the professor questioned. 

"Vaan Astra Vesta." 

The moment Vaan revealed his name, the teacher's expression changed, and not just him, but the other students who were about to fight Vaan realized something as well. 

"Do you think being Lady Astra's son will excuse you from following the rules of the Academy? I'll have you know, even your mother followed the rules of the Academy when she was here." 

"Professor, what my fiancée did was out of pure self-defense. I do not know about the Academy Rules because honestly, I didn't bother reading the Academy Rule Book that was passed to me, however, what I do know is that, 

In no world, can self-defense be a reason to punish someone, 

And if I or my fiancée has broken any rule today simply because we were trying to defend ourselves and are in the wrong according to your rules.

Then what's wrong are these rules and I do not mind meeting the Headmaster of the Academy and helping him correct them."
