40 – Club Time(5)
As Kael released his full magic power, the beast of another world slowly began to react.
The beast’s face was obscured by magic, so it was impossible to tell what expression it was making.
However, one thing was certain.
-@#$%@
Its expression didn’t seem to be a pleasant one.
Without paying attention to the beast’s reactions, Kael quickly began to draw a summoning circle.
The next moment.
-Hmm? What? You’ve been calling me often lately.
A small girl appeared beside Kael.
The entity he’d summoned was none other than the spirit king.
When she looked at him as if asking why he’d called her, Kael pointed ahead instead of responding.
The spirit king turned her head straight ahead.
And then, she wore a somewhat surprised expression.
-Is that a beast from another dimension?
“Do you know something?”
-I don’t know the specifics, but I’ve heard it’s a beast that was driven out of its dimension. To be more accurate, it’s seen as an ancestor of the demon tribe.
The ancestor of the demon tribe, you say?
Just as Kael began to doubt the spirit king’s words,
-Has the translation finally finished…
The beast spoke in a common continental language.
The unexpected words left both Kael and the spirit king wearing a somewhat surprised expression.
Because they hadn’t imagined that the beast in front of them would talk in a common continental language.
“It seems to possess intelligence indeed.”- Strong one.
“?”
At that moment, the beast from another world suddenly addressed him as a “strong one.”
And, he continued to speak.
-“Have you no interest in joining our side? Someone of your caliber can perfectly be one of us.”
A sudden solicitation.
As Kariel shows disbelief, he continues, insinuating that Kariel might have misunderstood something.
-“With someone of your caliber, we could avenge human people that have been driven out of this continent. What do you say? For us…
– “Kraaang!!”
At that moment, Kariel interrupted him by attempting a surprise attack.
Barely dodging his attack, the monster from another world narrowed his eyes.
Kariel ignored his reaction and flatly responded.
“I’m sorry, but I already belong somewhere. I must decline.”
-“I see. Despite a long absence, you humans remain the same.”
With these words, he expelled magical energy.
-“Hwaaargh!!!”
An immense amount of magical energy came pouring out of him.
Undeniably there was a reason for his confidence.
Going merely by raw power, he was on par with the immortal lich he had faced last time.
-“Don’t regret it.”
With those words, he lunged toward us.

The monster from another world.
They were the ancient demonic beings that once threatened the continent long ago.
In essence, they were no different from the demon tribes, except that they were called monsters among the demons.
In the end, they were so infinitely strong that they had different levels compared to ordinary powerhouses.
Even the Demon King was not one of their kind?
However, such a being is being overwhelmingly pushed back by a human, who isn’t even from another world.
-“Kkeuk…”
“Hmmm.”
Kariel imbues his fists with the power of the Spirit King and swings them continuously.
Thanks to the authority of the Spirit King’s time, his fists move at an immeasurably fast pace.
The impact is so significant that every swing incinerates the forest behind him.
Kalithman – as he is called – perspires with anxiety as he narrowly dodges Kariel’s attacks.
“Is this even possible?”
Long ago, no one, except the entire human race of another world and the primordial hero, had ever been able to push him to his limits.
But, who in the world is this man in front of him, pushing him so relentlessly?
With a sharpened gaze, Clisman straightforwardly asks.
“You, what are you? You don’t seem like an ordinary human.”
“I’m just an academy professor.”
As saying so, he illustrates a magic formula in a flash.
The next moment–
“Blizzard.”
Temperature around them rapidly dropped, and everything, including him, was completely frozen solid.
Clisman turned into an ice statue.
However, he couldn’t just be taking this lying down, could he?
“Crack!”
Due to his magic, the surrounding ice rapidly melted away.
When looked closely, fire was flickering from his body.
‘So, that was why he was unharmed from the heat wave earlier?’
Even though he found it strange to be well unaffected by the intense heat, it seems that this guy has some sort of resistance to fire.
As Cariel calmly thinks this, Clisman lets out a sarcastic laugh upon hearing his explanation.
“Do you want me to believe that? That you’re just an ordinary academy professor?”
From Clisman’s point of view, it was incomprehensible.
Unquestionably, he possessed an extraordinary strength.
He was unmistakably amongst the strongest few that he had ever come across amongst humans.
Look at him even now.
Isn’t each and every one of his spells rare?
He had been fighting humans all this while, but this was the first time he had seen such unusual spells.
‘It’s as if I’m fighting someone from another world… wait a minute.’
At that moment, a single hypothesis crossed his mind.
He’s been expelled from the dimension for quite some time now.
That means the primordial hero and the otherworlders must have been dead.
From Noble mtl dot com
But, could it be possible for them to not have any descendants?
“Rest assured, there won’t be such a thing.
-You! You’re a descendant from another world!
“Another world?”
At his words, Kael wore a puzzled expression.
Glancing at the Spirit King out of caution, she gives a brief explanation.
-Basically, it means people like that guy who came from another dimension.
Hearing that, Kael looked even more puzzled.
“It seems like there’s some misunderstanding. My family is just a family of magicians.”
That he is this strong now is solely thanks to training following the spellbooks at home.
He has nothing to do with that otherworlder.
-Whoooooah.
Kael emits magic and draws a spell.
Shortly after, it wasn’t the end. The Spirit King who was next to him grants him even more power.
Simultaneously as the sound of a ticking clock.
-Tick tock! Tick tock!
With the Spirit King’s powers, the ritual is drawn multiple times faster.
The next moment.
-Magic Missile.
Missiles made of magic power were created.
Kalisseman, seeing this, was left speechless.
‘He denies it even after creating that?’
That is nearly similar to the magic that the otherworlder usually used.
Nonetheless, Kael insists he has no association.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he is being mocked.
‘This is not supposed to happen.’
He’s boiling with anger, but he needs to respond quickly more than anything.
Kalisseman reaches out his hand and spews a rough flame towards the incoming missile.
Flames covered in magical energy advances, burning the air.
It flees as if it will burn everything.
If it continues like this, the missile will explode before even reaching him.
“What?!”
The incoming missile was seemingly evading the fire he had been spewing!
In this unexpected turn of events, Kleissman’s eyes widened.
At the same time.
-Kwaahhhhh!!!!
A mushroom cloud rose up from where he once stood.
The force was so powerful that sparks of magic energy erupted around.
-Pzoom!!
Quietly, Kael used wind magic.
He completely swept away the dust.
Then, there appeared Kleissman, reduced utterly to rags.
‘He surely is powerful.’
Even the Lich known as the Undying could not withstand the magic missile.
However, even after taking the hit, Kleissman maintained his form.
It probably wasn’t for nothing that he was referred to as a creature from another dimension.
‘Well, anyway.’
By this point, it was clear who’d won.
Judging from it, this fellow seemed to have regenerative abilities like the undead Lich.
-Cough!
The fact that he was coughing up black blood showed there were limits to his regeneration.
Kael slowly approached him.
Then, he asked him a question.
“You were talking about avenging humans earlier, seems like you’re cooking up something?”
-Do you think I’ll answer your question? I won’t die alone!
“Right. Bastards like you always say that.”
As he said that, Kael grabbed him by the throat.
As he was about to torture the creature.
-Wooowww.
A vast magical energy began to swell up from his body.
Kael too, poured all his magical power into the fray.
-“Ahhhhh!”
He had attempted to prevent the creature’s self-destruction, but its structure was entirely different from the demons and apostates he had encountered thus far.
Ultimately, with no other option, Kael stepped back.
‘I’ve made a note this time, so next time I should be able to handle it properly.’
And he decided not to let the creature have its way for now.
With that thought, he cast a barrier around Kilis Man.
Suddenly, the creature shrieked in pain, refusing to die alone.
-Blast it!
-ARGhhhhh!!!
And with that, Kilis Man ended up dying alone.
Kael shifted his gaze downward.
Then, he funneled his magic into the ground.
The next moment.
-A low growl.
The students who were underground were brought to the surface.
Deb, Ray, and Lou, beginning with Ray, looked around with wide eyes.
‘Is this the professor’s doing?’
They had always assumed that Kael was not an ordinary person.
However, what was happening now was beyond the capabilities of any person.
It was nearly impossible unless one was a grand wizard.
Everyone gulped in agreement with this thought.
-Gulp!
Just then, as Ray and Lou were apprehensively closing their mouths,
“Professor, you’re a grand wizard, right?”
In his usual blunt manner, Deb asked Kael directly.
Kael thought to himself that Deb was as straightforward as ever in response to the question.
