Chapter 187: I Was Here From The Beginning
They saw a boy with brown eyes and mahogany hair that is spiky and appeared like a lion's mane, he was wearing a military-style uniform with gold buttons and a cord decorating his black blazer.
And a petite girl with a doll-like appearance, porcelain white skin, big dark eyes, thick lashes, black hair, and small lips. She has a delicate, small stature she wore a military-style uniform similar to the boy sitting next to her just with a skirt. She was wearing a dimension ring on her pinky.
"Well it is as Doradrea said, and it should be alright even if the Professor doesn't show up," The boy said making everyone wide-eyed.
"Curtis, what do you mean by that?" Theodore asked not understanding what this meant but Curtis didn't know what to say so he just shrugged.
'Father only told us to be careful,' Curtis thought.
"Hey, Kathyln did you hear anything about the Professor? My Uncle was telling me to be careful around this person and not accidentally anger them," Claire asked curiously, she really wanted to know what type of a person it would be to make his uncle warn her so seriously.
'Kaspian told her to be careful? Even the director said the same thing, What is going on?' Arthur raised an eyebrow as he was becoming more and more curious about their supervising Professor.
"We heard the same thing from our father," Kathyln answered in a flat tone making the others even more shocked even Arthur almost fell off his chair.
'What? The king of this country told his own kids not to anger someone while he has two of the strongest mages on this continent as his subordinates, This doesn't make any sense,' Arthur felt a headache rising he should've known when the director told him to be careful.
"Hey is it Lady Zenobia?" Doradrea spoke up and everyone on the table had shining eyes except for Arthur who was too lost while thinking about who this new Professor is going to be.
"That would be great but I don't think Lady Zenobia has the time for this type of thing," Kathyln who always had a flat facial expression spoke with disappointment on her face. And everyone nodded because they knew what status this person held on this continent. There is no way she would come to Xyrus just to look over a D.C. she had many important things to do after all.
"There are still ten minutes left before we have to leave so let's wait for the Professor if they don't show up then we will go," Claire said and the others nodded while thinking about who this Professor is going to be.
"But I have been here from the start," Everyone in the room stopped as they heard this voice beside them.
The eight kids with the two beasts shakily turned their heads to look at a man dressed in a black custom-made suit jacket with gold details. The jacket also had chords and epaulets, with shoulder buttons. He wore a black vest inside over a white shirt and black pants.
The man sported a slight smile with a bit of playfulness in his red gem-like eyes sitting on the seat beside Claire.
WHOOSH*
All eight vanished from their place and surrounded the man quickly.
"Who are you?" Claire asked while pointing her rapier at him. Arthur and Curtis had their swords out, with Feyrith and Kathyln standing at the ready to cast spells.
'W-When did he enter the room?' Arthur was shocked and felt cold sweat on his neck since he wasn't able to sense this person until he spoke. No matter how deep in thought he was there is no way he won't be able to notice someone sitting next to him.
[Papa that guy is powerful, I will transform,] Arthur heard the panicked voice of Sylvie and stopped her.
[No you can't do that wait, But did you feel him coming in?] Arthur quickly stopped Sylvie from transforming into her dragon form and asked.
[No papa it was like he just appeared out of nowhere,] Sylvie said making Arthur's expression grim.
"What a bunch of rude brats, I am your Professor," The man said with a smile while looking at them.
"Don't try to bluff, How did you get in here without any one of us knowing?" Theodore asked while using Gravity magic to hold the man in his place.
"Why do you expect an infiltrator to answer your question? Right Kai?" The man chuckled while looking at Kai who felt uneasy but didn't show it on his face. He was surprised that the person knew his name as well.
"That is correct, but that doesn't mean we can't get answers out of you," Kai said with a mocking smile and metal wires wrapped around the man.
"Scary~ ok so this is where the horseplay ends, SNAP*," The man said and snapped his fingers.
'Huh? What happened?' The eight kids were shocked as they found themselves in their seats as if they hadn't even left the place.
"Nice to meet you all, I am your supervising Professor Haru Tsugikuni," Haru said with a smile while looking at the shocked kids that had their jaws open.
'H-How did this happen?' Arthur was even more shocked at what happened everyone was clearly surrounding this man with their weapons and suddenly they were in their seats like they hae never left.
'Was it an illusion?' Arthur thought and felt a chill run down his spine.
[Sylv do you know what happened?] Arthur asked Sylvie.
[No Papa I don't understand what happened but he doesn't seem...hostile,] Sylvie answered making Arthur even more surprised.
Arthur looked around the table and everyone looked clearly shook because of what had happened. And Arthur himself was shocked when he heard the name of the person.
'Is he that S-rank adventurer that Uncle Vincent talked about?' Arthur thought while looking at Haru. The name rang a bell in his head but he still wasn't sure.
"S-Sir, are you really our supervising Professor?" Claire asked with a little shaky voice but the anticipation in her eyes was clear. This was confusing for the others when they saw that even Curtis and Kathyln were a little excited at the question.
"Yes, I am your supervising Professor," Haru nodded and at his affirmation, Claire and Curtis jumped up from their seats walking over to him.
"Can we have your autograph?" Both Curtis and Claire had shining eyes as they asked.
"Why are you guys acting like that?" Doradrea asked in confusion they were literally holding their weapons at the man's neck but now? What was this sudden change of attitude?
'He is just another pretty boy…with a good body,' Doradrea snorted in her mind while looking at Haru's toned body which wasn't hidden by his clothes.
"Because Professor is the only S-rank Adventurer on this continent," Kathyln answered with a bit of excitement in her tone. She was surprised at first because her Father warned her to be careful around a Professor but now it made perfect sense.
Because if Haru was a normal S-rank it wouldn't be that special but this S-rank adventurer was someone Zenobia had a close relationship with and acknowledged his strength, It spoke volumes of his powers because Zenobia didn't even take the Lances seriously aside from the two she made weapons for.
Kathyln had seen the portrait of Haru so she and her brother knew who he was and Claire knowing him was also natural. But the reason they weren't able to recognize him was….
'He is way better looking in person,' Kathyln, Claire, and Curtis thought while looking at Haru.
"What?" Theodore, Feyrith, and Doradrea shouted in shock while Kai was feeling more uneasy.
After calming down the kids Haru looked at them again.
"Cough* Ok now then let me introduce myself again, My name is Haru Tsugikuni and I am an S-rank adventurer while being a professor at Xyrus, and I am also the Supervising Professor for D.C. I already know who you guys are since I have been sitting here for a while now," Haru said with a smile.
"I can't believe I wasn't able to sense you, Professor, there is no way you can stay here for so long without any of us noticing," Feyrith said.
"Now Now, Fey Fey it isn't good to doubt your Professor," Haru said and Feyrith's face became red while the others were holding back their laughter.
'This means he was here when I called Feyrith by his old nickname, How is this possible? I didn't sense him at all,' Arthur was even more curious but scared after this and others were also convinced about what Haru said.
"Professor, how long have you been here?" Kai asked while opening his closed eyes.
