I could feel the different energies entering my body. All the powers that I had obtained over the years were being activated at the same time.
‘Will my body be able to hold out?’ I thought in the back of my mind, knowing that I had gotten a lot weaker compared to the last time I had used this form. It wasn’t something I liked using for multiple reasons.
The first one was the most obvious: the backlash I would receive from using all those powers was definitely massive and would cause me to be bedridden for a few days. That’s why I knew that by using this, I would have to rest here a few more days after this fight was over.
Still, I did not mind such a thing at the moment, since I needed Phoebe to recover.
“A-Are you guys all seeing this?” one of my students shouted.
“Yeah, look, Professor is getting bigger just like Zoe!”
I smirked. That was the power of the Giants, though it was still clearly inferior to the power Zoe had just used to become much bigger and stronger.
“That’s just one of them…can’t you see the blue aura around his body? Isn’t that what the dwarves use to protect themselves?”
“Y-You’re right! That’s a defensive aura; how did he even manage to learn about something like that in the first place?!”
“I don’t know, but it looks like our professor can use all the powers from all the races. T-This is crazy!”
I heard their shouts, but I couldn’t quite focus on them as just maintaining this form was extremely taxing. I needed to defeat Zoe as fast as I could, or else this would surely be my loss.
POV Jackson (A few moments ago)
I could only watch as he first used the power of the elves. However, that was only the start of it as he used the power that only vampires could use.
All of this was just crazy to think about! The fact that he could use so many powers was the last thing I had expected.
‘I-I need to tell my parents about this…’ I thought right away as I tried to reach for my phone.
However, it was only then that I realized Caedrel had taken it away from me when he figured out that I was the one who snitched on him, meaning I couldn’t tell my parents what he planned to do once he got back.
‘Fuck…this information needs to be known by everyone!’
It just couldn’t wait. Who knew the extent of his powers? And knowing him, there was probably a reason he didn’t care that he was showing us all those powers. He had something in mind, and I didn’t want to find out what it was.
“Psst, Will, give me your phone.”
Will, one of my closest “friends,” didn’t know what to do.
Ever since I had gotten caught by the professor, he had slowly been starting to distance himself from me, scared that something might happen to him and his family.
“If you don’t give it to me, I will ask my family to destroy yours. So, give it to me right now.”
However, Will didn’t give it to me right away; he had this stupid hesitant look on his face. This was my chance at getting back at Caedrel. I knew he didn’t want his abilities to spread, but I would make sure they got out of this hidden place.
“W-Why do you want it?” Will asked, his voice trembling, clearly stressed out of his mind.
After all, he didn’t want to become a target of the Professor, just like I was.
“What do you think?” I smirked, as I already knew he understood my intentions. “Just give it to me for five minutes; that’s all the time I need with it.”
Will gulped as he reached into his pocket, taking out his phone. “Y-You can take it, but you can never tell the professor that it came from me…I don’t want to end up like you.”
I scoffed. That professor was just a loudmouth. There was no way he could defeat the Evergreen family by himself, even if he possessed all those hidden powers. My father was just as strong as him without a doubt, and my family has a lot more influence than a random like him.
After all, strength wasn’t the only thing one should possess. Influence was just as important; our family had a lot of allies, which was something our Professor didn’t have at all. No one even knew of him until he came back from the battlefield; he was like a ghost for some reason. Either way, that was only a detail as I grabbed Will’s phone from his hands and started recording what would happen next.
It seemed I had started recording at just the right time as Caedrel began to activate a bunch more of his powers. He started to grow in size, and all kinds of auras were being exuded from his body. Seeing this, my eyes widened. Our professor was already extremely powerful, but he was THAT much more powerful?
Absolutely crazy. It was a good thing that I was recording what was happening. I would record the rest of the battle, and once it was done, I would send that video to my parents. It was about time the world learned of the monster hiding as a simple professor of the Royal Academy.
‘You will regret threatening my family, Caedrel Stuart!’ I exclaimed in my mind with a sly smirk. ‘No one insults my family without me taking revenge!’
Will, who was right beside me, was definitely nervous as he started to look around. However, I no longer cared about him; I just needed to make sure none of the stuck-ups, Ariel, Ariella, Olivia, that lazy bum Art, and Darla, would see me filming.
After all, those people would surely report me as soon as they found out about what I was planning to do.
