Magical Cat

"hateful!"

Li En cursed inwardly, but he was unable to break free from the restraints imposed by Phobbit.

"I really have to thank you, little one. That brat is so cunning, she never leaves any openings for anyone. It seems I'll have to keep looking for problems with you in the future."

Forbes was like an old woman who had been holding back her emotions all her life, finally finding an outlet.

Just as she was smugly enjoying the thought of punishing Elaine mercilessly, a voice came from afar, echoing throughout the entire teachers' dormitory.

"Let go of the cat, Ms. Forbitt!"

The next moment, Corbyn appeared out of thin air, blocking Forbitt's path.

"Cobra?" Forbitt frowned, but didn't take it to heart, explaining, "This has nothing to do with you. It's just a stray kitten. I'm going to teach its owner a lesson and make sure they keep a close eye on it."

"Ms. Forbitt, I'll say it again, put down the cat you're holding. It's my guest, and also an important subject of my experiment!" Cobra said sternly.

"Guest, what's the research topic?" Fobbitt asked, a look of confusion on his face.

What's so interesting about studying a juvenile magical beast?

Furthermore, Forbitt knew that Li En had been abandoned by Webber because of his poor aptitude.

She glanced at Li En, then at Corbyn, wondering what their relationship was.

Corbyn has always been focused on his research, a fact that the faculty members at the college are well aware of.

As for matters outside of research, Corbyn rarely interferes.

But judging from the current situation, Cobra is clearly determined to see this through to the end.

But Forbitt didn't need to give Corbyn any face; this slovenly old man wasn't well-liked at the academy either.

Everyone in the college knows that Brian's teaching is just a sham.

If it weren't for his advanced age, the academy would have kicked him out long ago.

Of course, this is only Fobbit's idea.

"Professor Brian, even if this cat is indeed your research subject or your guest, it should not trespass into your dormitory on its own."

One thing at a time. I'm definitely going to pursue this matter, but I'll return the cat to you after I've finished investigating.

After saying this, Forbitt was about to leave with Lee En without giving Cobra any face at all.

Corbyn narrowed his eyes, and the atmosphere instantly turned chilly.

Li En is quite intelligent, and he's not exactly known for his good temper. If he holds a grudge over this, then Brian's subsequent research will be ruined.

Although Li En is very dependent on the Seed of Life, it's hard to guarantee that he won't become even more vengeful.

Cobra didn't want to take any risks with this unpredictable cat.

"Put the cat down."

Cobra repeated it one last time, and a staff that looked like a withered branch appeared in his hand.

Forbitt was stunned, never expecting that Corbyn would actually attack him.

But then she felt a surge of anger and embarrassment.

Following the commotion she caused when she caught Li En, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the teachers' dormitory.

Most of them were teachers, but there were also a few students who were passing by and stopped to watch.

Feeling humiliated and losing face, Fobbitt felt he had been mercilessly insulted by Cobra.

She also produced a magnificent jeweled staff and asked in a sinister tone, "Corbrian, I hope I haven't misunderstood the meaning behind your display of a staff."

This time, Cobra didn't waste any more words with Forbitt and went straight to action.

Cobrain swung his staff, which was almost as tall as himself, and a series of white orbs shot out from the staff, trailing unpredictable and eerie arcs, and flew swiftly toward Fobbit.

Fobbitt immediately felt a threat of death and, ignoring Li En, cast a shield on himself.

First, there was a transparent light shield, followed by stones floating around.

Before the floating stone gate could form a magical shield, the white orb of light had already crashed down upon them.

Phobbit only had time to scream before his magical shield shattered instantly, as fragile as an eggshell.

Immediately afterwards, several lights of various colors lit up on Fobbit's body.

Earrings, rings, belts, necklaces...

One by one, the items on Forbitt's body shattered, and after a series of explosions, he barely managed to save his life.

At this moment, Foppert was nowhere to be seen in his usual demeanor. His hair was disheveled, his gorgeous clothes were covered in dust, and he looked disheveled and miserable, like a madwoman from the slums.

Corbyn remained expressionless, coldly raising his hand in Li En's direction.

Li En was drawn to him, and the stone shackles began to crumble, without harming him in the slightest.

Li En regained his freedom, but dared not make any rash moves.

He looked at Corbyn, surprised that the old man was so strong.

Although the battle between Corbrain and Fobbit was brief, Li En was also shocked by the series of magical attacks.

Not only could the old man Corbyn cast magic instantly, but his destructive power was also astonishing; Forbitt was completely powerless to fight back.

If it weren't for the many life-saving items he carried, Phobbit would probably have been killed instantly.

"Ms. Foppert, next time I give you a break, you'll have to take it."

Cobra gave a stern warning, then left with Lee, as if he had simply done a good deed.

As Corbrain left, whispers began to circulate.

"Is Professor Brian really that strong? He must be a third-tier mage!" a young teacher exclaimed.

"His skills haven't declined at all; has he been completely unaffected by age?"

"How dare someone be so blind as to interfere with Corbyn's research? They have such audacity!"

"By the way, isn't it against school rules for teachers to fight in private?"

"That's Corbyn, let whoever wants to sue him sue him."

But the students who were passing by were the most surprised.

Who would have thought that the old man who was the most boring in class would be such a ruthless fighter?

After their initial shock, the students exchanged glances, their eyes filled with the excitement of witnessing a hot topic of gossip.

Seeing that there were many teachers present, the students quietly lowered their profile, while some turned around and ran away, wanting to share this big news with their classmates.

Foppert himself remained conscious, but his face was flushed red and then turned purple; he seemed somewhat abnormal.

This was the first time in so many years that she had suffered such humiliation, especially in front of so many people.

Furbit angrily took out a valuable teleportation stone, then crushed it on the spot, and his figure disappeared from the place.

The other teachers all had mixed feelings of amusement and exasperation when they saw Fobbit's actions.

Even for a teacher, the teleportation stone is precious, a life-saving tool. It's ridiculous that it was used up just to save face.

The teachers who were watching shook their heads and slowly dispersed, casually scolding the students who were still watching and telling them to leave quickly.

Everyone knew that this matter would soon spread throughout the college.
