Janna kept on explaining to the students about the different kinds of magical rune designs and their effects.
In the middle of the lecture, she used a holographic screen to let everyone see eight basic kinds of magical rune designs, which once inscribed on a talisman paper will create a talisman that holds dreadful powers.
Even though Marvin had excellent memories, it was too hard to memorize all of them, hence he drew them in his notebook.
The lecture continued for four hours until the bell rang and Janna stepped outside the room.
It was break time!
The rest of the students also started stepping outside. Some went to the cafeteria to eat food. Others went to the virtual gaming venter to go online. However, Marvin remained in the classroom.
Marvin did a quick look and after confirming that no one was nearby, he called his girlfriend. Bai Yue's secret must be kept safe and he was ensuring that no harm will come her way.
Bai Yue's phone rang and she looked at who called her. Her eyes opened wide in joy and surprise as she saw that it was her man but she was in a tight space. And, many of her friends were around her so she canceled his call and massaged.
"People around me. I will call you soon!"
Marvin gazed at it and sighed.
Five minutes later, Marvin received her call. He picked it up and they talked.
"I miss you. Bai, how have you been?" Marvin asked.
He was talking in secret codes as someone might eavesdrop on their call. This will put Bai Yue's life in danger.
"I am fine. Bro, how about you? I heard you got in troubles with the bullies again, do you want my help?!"
"Yeah, let's meet up on Sunday. I will come to your house. (Bai Yue, I want to take you out on a date, next Sunday.)" Marvin replied
"Sure!" She agreed to go on a date with him.
A beaming smile formed on his face as Marvin couldn't help but smile. He was really happy.
Soon after, the next lecture began. It was about how to sketch runic lines of a magical rune design on to the talisman paper. After the talisman teacher explained it, the next period began.
For some hour, no one came; However, several minutes before the third and last period was gonna end, the classroom door opened and a person entered the room.
Next came the newly hired teacher. According to the gossips, he was a master of formation and here to them about it. He was a wise, old man with a very long beard and hair. His beard reached his knees and his hair reached the back of his waist.
One look at him and Marvin determined that this man came from the other world.
This old man came from the continent of Camelot!
Marvin had always been interested in the otherworldly peoples but he barely managed to interact with them.
"Hi, young ones. My name is Bai Long. For the next four months, I will be teaching you all a little about formations and their relation with inscriptions. I hope we will be on good terms until the end of the term. For now, introduce yourselves to me!" the formation master said.
One by one, the students started telling him about who they were. Afterward, they chatted with each other. Some did their homework while the others practiced and hone their crafts. Soon after, Marvin turns also came. Just like the others, he said his name, explained somethings about himself. He then sat down on his chair.
All along, the old man's white eyes were staring at each of the students. He analyzed them into four different qualities. Most students belonged to the lowest quality. Seven were of average quality. Four had managed to impress the old man and he had labeled them as above average.
However, three people's caused his eyebrows to arch. One of them was Marvin, who silently sat down on his chair after announcing his name.
"This boy is mysterious. I can't see through him. He appears to be a rank-1 ability user but he defeated multiple rank-3 ability users. Moreover, unlike others, he isn't even practicing. Seems like he is either confident of his ability or he is just a foolish young man. But only time will tell!" The old man internally made his judgment about Marvin. He also had a similar judgment to the other two. One of them was Fatty Liam, the grandson of Heaven's Alchemist Guild Pill maker!
After everyone was done introducing themselves, the old man said,
"Quiet down. For this week, I will be explaining to you guys about formation items. In the following weeks, we will be learning about positioning and other stuff. For today, you guys can self-study the book on the inscription or go home!"
"Yeah! You are the best teacher I ever met in my life!"
"Thanks, teacher."
"Old man, you are the best!"
The students cheered and some stood up to go home while the others self-studied.
Those who wanted to go home have gone away. The old man smiled while looking at the other students. One of them was Marvin.
Marvin remained seated as he wanted to study. Moreover, Jackie and his blonde friend are going to harm Aunt tonight so I must look after her.
"Congratulations, you have all passed my test!" Bai long suddenly announced surprising all the students.
"What test?" they thought
"Hey boy, come here!" The old man shouted while pointing at Marvin, surprising him.
Marvin gave him a questioning look and the old man pointed at him and said, "Yes, I am telling you to come here."
He stood up and went to Bai long. Suddenly, Bai long eaved his hand and fifteen thin books were placed on the teacher's desk.
"A spatial treasure?" Marvin instantly realized that the old man has used a spatial treasure to pull these books out. There were many kinds of spatial treasure such as spatial ring, spatial bracelet or earring, and much more. Their main use is to store stuff.
"Go and hand one to each. You can keep one for yourself!" The old man said to him.
After handing one book to the remaining student, Marvin went and sat down on his chair. He gazed at the book.
The book was named "Tri-formation basic."
Before Marvin could start reading it, the bell rang once again, and the class ended!
Students stepped out of the classroom as the school day has finally finished. It was already 5 p.m and everyone felt dead tired. They have been studying for the past 8 hours. Jackie and bulbul also stepped out of the class and Marvin followed them.
He had decided to stalk them until they attack Janna. He will catch them in the act, punish them badly, and also save his aunt while doing all this. It was a perfect plan until Noah's voice rang beside his ears.
‹There's no need for you to stalk these weaklings. These guys might not even take action tonight. Noah will notify you if your second waifu Janna is in any kind of danger. Until then the host can rest assured and go back home to rest›
Noah was considerate and even Marvin was impressed by the system. "In novels, most os the protagonist is either physically tortured or mentally abused by their system while mine is helping me in every way to rise. Noah, you certainly are the best!" Marvin internally praised Noah. He then returned home.
"I'm back!" He said after entering the house.
Angela was playing a gamer on her phone while sitting on a sofa placed in the drawing-room. The moment Marvin returned home, she said,
"Welcome back, brother. Do you want to eat dinner? I have prepared a meat broth. It's in the kitchen!"
While saying that, she started to sit in the nearby wheelchair so that she can serve food to her brother but how could Marvin allow that. He stopped her and said,
"Rest, I will get it myself!" While saying that, he remembered something and grasped her pale feet in his hand.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Angel asked, excitedly gazing at her brother who was massaging her feet with golden hands.
"Is this your ability?" she asked like a curious child and Marvin nodded, confirming her guess.
"Angela, do you feel anything?" Marvin asked. He was using a Gentleman's sensation healing touch while thinking that maybe her paralyzes can be healed with this ability; However, Angela's reply confirmed that it was not working.
"I'm feeling nothing," she replied.
Marvin sighed but he instantly covered up his sorrow and livingly gazed into Angela's eyes.
"I will find a way to heal you. Wait till then and don't do anything rash!" He said while patting her head gently.
There was a time when she was so depressed and stressed that she decided to commit suicide. It was a blow to both Marvin and his mom. Thankfully, he returned home early that morning and took her to the hospital promptly otherwise, it would have been a disaster.
"Something like that won't happen again. Don't fear. I won't let the same nightmare repeat no matter what condition we are in," She replied while embracing her responsible elder brother in a homely hug and patting his back.
------------------------
Three days later.
Inside an average room, Marvin could be seen swinging his dagger, covered wholly in sweat. He has been repeating the ten advance dagger stance that his father had told him, again and again, for the past few hours.
He started training at 5:25 p.m. Now, it was 8 p.m. Just like Noah said, Jackie and Bulbul hadn't made their move that night.
Some people say something but never act on their thoughts. Marvin believed that this might be the case in this situation, too but he was proven wrong at the very moment.
‹Marvin, your second waifu is in danger. She is currently being preyed on by Jackie and bulbul. They have made their move›
Suddenly, Noah's notification popped up, alerting Marvin that Janna is in danger. He stopped training and instantly rushed out of the house while internally complaining, "Why didn't you alert me earlier? Where's she?"
If Noah alerted Marvin before Janna could get in trouble then their relationship won't progress. That's why he didn't alert him, earlier but how could he convey such words to his master. It was better to hide the truth and hence it replied with this, ‹The system was facing network problems. Noah recommends Marvin to not think much about it. For now, run towards the 69th alley of the wolf streets. That's where Miss Janna is. Hurry up and good luck, Host!›
"69th alley, it's a little far away from here. I won't make it time unless..." Marvin used Magic martial arts, his speed increase by dozens of times. Every step he took will leave behind a footprint on the uneven and slightly cracked ground.
------------
69th alley of wolf street, Lower-district, Stronghold 69.
"Jackie, Bulbul, how can you both even think of doing such a thing to your teacher. Don't you guys have any respect for me or law and order," Janna weakly scolded the bad students who were trying to ra-pe her.
Jackie and Bulbul have certainly came prepared. A thin needle was pierced into Janna's legs. It was poisonous and had weakened her considerably. Previously, she could beat both of them single-handedly but now she didn't even have the strength to resist.
Now, Janna was as weak as any woman and she was at the mercy of the two bad wolfish students.
