My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

Chapter 226 Versatility Of Spells

Initially, Vinigo was surprised to see Bastet, but upon seeing the cat's size, he debauched. "Owwnt! You have an invocation that is a kitten!"

The teacher didn't hold back and immediately used his magic wand, so that the invocation didn't have time to react. A ball of green flames was expelled from a magic circle and flew towards the feline. At that moment, a sudden explosion of smoke happened around the Summoning before the fireball hit him. When the magic hit, the entire room shook, and the wind generated by the collision dispersed the smoke even faster.

When Vinigo opened his eyes, he was surprised. The fluffy kitten he had mocked, had now the size of two lions and his fur seemed to be completely made of metal fibers, like armor.

"Hey, Hey! What the fuck is that?!" He asked, stepping back and breaking into a cold sweat. He had never seen or heard of a Summoning that could transform.

ROAAAAAAAARRR~

Bastet roared so loudly that pieces of the office ceiling began to shatter, and the crash reverberated for hundreds of meters through the underground floors.

At this time, Meredith was also startled by Bastet's transformation. This was the first time she saw him in this form, because every time Luke went to train Bastet, they never stayed in the areas near the gang's camp.

Still, she touched Bastet's back with confidence and said to Vinigo:

"You will not defeat us so easily!"

Inside that office, now looking small because of Bastet's size, the half-wolf Summoning and Meredith began to fight together to try to defeat Vinigo.

With his magic wand, the Alchemy teacher had extremely adaptable power. He could throw fireballs, stone stakes, tree roots, and even mud with more ease than was ever possible, oozing power and versatility.

Bastet jumped back and forth across the office a few times and managed to wound Vinigo with three scratches, but the man was also very sturdy and kept his ground.

At one point, the feline attacked again from the right, and when the professor tried to pin him down with tree roots sticking out of the ground, he became intangible and avoided getting stuck.

"What an annoying invocation..." Vinigo muttered, panting. Soon, he jumped back, avoiding another cut to his belly.

On reflex, the old man used the first magic he could think of and knocked Bastet back with a strong gust of wind. Afterward, the old man combined his magic attack with a Gene Skill and shouted:

"<Flame thrower>!"

At that instant, Meredith saw the professor's throat begin to glow, and then a massive amount of flames started to spew out of his mouth.

Bastet's glowing red eyes landed on the frightened eyes of the half-fox, who was standing in the direction of the fire. As ordered earlier by Luke, Bastet spared no effort to help Meredith and jumped in front of the fire. In the start, he bravely resisted the high temperatures; however, seconds passed, and the temperature only got even higher.

When the flames finally ceased, Bastet almost fell to the ground, powerless, but he resisted and stood, only to explode into golden particles soon after.

"NOOOOO!" Meredith screamed, desperate. "YOU BASTARD!" Meredith looked at Vinigo with the purest hatred while she stood up.

He looked at her, sweating heavily, and smiled sadistically.

Immediately, he approached her, and when the half-fox tried to punch him from below, he pointed his wand against her head, and another gust of wind was expelled, throwing her against the wall.

Meanwhile, Luke was in the middle of a practice class on the Academy's dueling grounds.

This was his second class of the day, and he was still getting to know the capabilities of most of his students.

In this short time as a teacher, the half-wolf had met several very talented students, but he didn't let them use their Genes Skills because it might get in the way of his analysis.

His goal wasn't just to find a few talented students according to his concept of talent, but to find the talents of all his students, no matter what their area of proficiency was. This wasn't exactly his job, but it was still his goal as the good teacher he aspired to be, at least while he was working in this area.

While watching two girls duel to determine who had a better aptitude for physical strength, a shiver ran down his spine, and immediately he heard a message resound in his mind.

[Your Summoning The Ether Dominator has been defeated...]

'What!?' Luke's eyes widened, and all sounds seemed to fade into the background, enhancing the delicate voice in his mind.

[... His soul should return between three days to up to a week to you. Stand by].

At that time, the half-wolf brought his right hand up to his eyes and tried reasoning.

'He discovered Bastet after three days? No, that can't be right. Even Alexis said she couldn't identify it, how a teacher would be able to? So, Bastet went out and fought with him for some reason?' He wondered, but knew he wouldn't be completely sure until he saw Doctor Vinigo.

"Professor Lange, are you well? Your eyes look a little tired." Reyna, a student of Luke's who was only sixteen, questioned him.

This brought him back to reality and out of his thoughts. He looked at the light brown-haired girl and had an idea.

"Reyna, you are part of the student council, right? I'm going to delegate a task to you. Take everyone back to the classroom, and wait there. If I'm not back by the end of class, you can go to the next class."

"Okay, teacher. I can do that. But did something happen?" The girl could notice with extreme ease that Luke's gaze was different.

He touched her shoulder, and chose not to answer her instead of lying. "I'm depending on you, Reyna!" He said, and started running at a speed that surprised everyone.

A boost from the half-wolf could shift the wind and scatter some of the sand from the training ground.

"Hey, Reyna! Why did the teacher just run off so fast? Did something happen?" The class representative asked, representing the questioning of the other youngsters.

"He just said that we should go back to the classroom and that he might not return in time to continue the class!" She replied, putting her hands around her mouth so that her voice would propagate more easily across the dirt field.

The half-wolf students didn't like that the practical class was over in less than twenty minutes, and they left grumbling. This wasn't the first class they had with the new Duel Teacher, so some people tolerated it because they knew Luke was giving it his best effort. And even the ones who grumbled, knew that something urgent had happened for Luke to have left in such a hurry.
