Jareth's Dorm Room, Morning.
6: 00 A.M.
Jareth placed his hand on the alarm clock and turned the alarm off before it could even ring for once.
With a blank look, he stared at his hands and thought in his mind.
'Now that I think about it, ever since I came to this body, I have become quite good with things like timings…'
In his previous life, Jareth used to never get up on time and his alarm used to ring several times before he finally got up from the bed.
'All my laziness seems to have disappeared ever since I entered this body…'
[Ding! Your talent 'Sharp Mind' unconsciously makes you 'perfect' in various things!]
Hearing the system notification, Jareth shook his head.
'Sigh, it seems there's going to be a lot of trouble coming my way in the future…'
Since all this was not under his control, Jareth stopped thinking about this matter and went for the morning exercise and then took a bath.
He wore his professor uniform and donned his purple cape, which increased his charm a lot more. (His cold and angry-looking face will make everyone feel intimidated; there's no way someone will be charmed by him…)
…
After getting ready, Jareth walked over to the table where he put the flask containing the flower.
The flower in the flask had already dissolved into the mana potion properly. The liquid in the potion had turned bright red from being mixed with that 'Night witch flower'.
'Perfect…'
Jareth brought out the grimoire from his space ring and put it on the table.
He grabbed the flask and opened its lid.
'Here goes nothing..'
Jareth directly poured the whole red liquid on the grimoire and then he stepped back a little.
The red liquid was suddenly absorbed by the grimoire and a magic circle appeared on the book. The grimoire started to float in the air on its own.
The magic circle glowed with a bright red color for a while before it broke and the mana particles scattered into nothingness.
After the magic circle was broken, the grimoire opened successfully, and the mana in the surroundings started to gather around it.
Using the mana in the surroundings, the book repaired its original form.
After a few seconds, the old-looking book has now turned into a fresh and new-looking one.
With all this done, the grimoire floated down and fell back on the table, where it was originally placed.
Everything happened so fast that it was incredible and shocking to see. If someone else had seen this shocking sight, they would have been awe-struck by this whole process.
But Jareth had already seen this whole 'cut scene' in the game quite a few times, so he wasn't the least bit interested in this at all. His facial expression remained the same as ever.
He was just waiting for it to be done.
…
Seeing that the grimoire was finally unsealed, Jareth nodded his head in satisfaction. He stretched his hand out and took the grimoire in his own hands.
'My plan was a total success, it seems…'
[Ding! Stole a rare artifact from the protagonist! You have changed the destined fate!]
[Ding! Congratulations! You got 5000CP!]
'tch! How petty can you be… barely giving 5k for all the difficult work I did… sigh~'
Jareth was quite disappointed at the low amount of CP he earned from grabbing this grimoire from the protagonist.
'But, oh well whatever, let's appraise this thing first…'
Jareth put the grimoire in this system inventory.
The system inventory has an automatic appraisal function built into it. So, Jareth put the grimoire in the inventory to find out about the specs of this grimoire.
…
[Item Name: Grimoire of the Night Witch]
[Item Grade: 3+] ('+' this sign shows that this artifact can be ascended further…)
[Item Description:
An ordinary book was gifted to a Night witch by her suitor. The night witch dug the heart out of the man who dared lay his eyes on her and used his heart to bless this book and convert that ordinary book into a grimoire.
This grimoire is enhanced by the remnant will of that unfortunate love and can grant the user incredible magical amplifications…
Just remember, a 'heart once crushed' rests in this grimoire, make sure not to get tainted by this twisted agony…]
[Item Effects:
1. Magic Amplification: Amplifies the user's attack and increases damage by 80%.
2. Locked due to the low grade of the user.
3. Locked due to the low grade of the user.]
…
Jareth had seen that description a hundred times in the game, but he still felt weird after reading it again.
'The Rose I saw in that dreamland was just a mere 'remnant will' of her true self, but the actual Rose was not a gentle person at all…'
Rose was famous by the name 'The Night Witch'. She might have been a hero who saved hundreds of lives, but she was no saint either.
The term 'Witch' in her title is not for show. She was a cold-blooded woman who liked to torture her enemies a lot.
'Some records that I read in the game point out that she killed all her suitors and used their hearts and life force to enhance her weapon…'
Thinking about that, Jareth glanced at the grimoire once again and complicated emotions swirled in his mind.
'This is the very weapon that was enhanced by the life force and the hearts of those who wanted to pursue her… she was a cruel person…'
At that point, Jareth stopped thinking about it further.
'Forget it, I have used this weapon several times in the game, why hesitate now…'
After shaking his head, Jareth closed his system panel and decided to go to the class first.
…
Principal's office.
"But principal, would it really be a good idea to send those two with the students… they both have been rivals for years, and it's difficult to ask them to cooperate all of a sudden…"
Hearing Professor Thomas's remarks, Nathan shook his head and replied in a calm tone:
"It doesn't matter… even if they both might not like each other, it is an undeniable fact that they both are one of the strongest individuals among today's wizards…"
"Moreover, Jareth is good at Fire magic and Shin is good at Frost magic, both of them are literal opposites of each other, it will give the students a better chance to learn and explore…"
The principal got up from his chair and walked over to the nearby window. He glanced outside and the students walking on the ground came into his view.
"Don't underestimate the students of this year either…. There are many exceptionally talented children among them this year…"
"I am looking forward to what heights these children will achieve in the future…"
Hearing the principal's remarks, Professor Thomas shook his head in defeat. He knew that once the principal had made up his mind, it was near impossible to change his decision.
"Okay then, if you say so… I just hope nothing bad happens…"
"Hehe, don't worry; with them both around, I don't think much will happen…"

Author's Notes.
Yo! It's your beloved author here! Finally, Jareth has found a good weapon for himself. Let's wait and see what the future holds for him too…
Question of the day.
If you were one of the students, would you leave your safety to Jareth?
1. Yes (Bruh, how can you leave your safety on his weak shoulders…)
2. No (Bruh, how can you doubt Jareth's sharp mind…)
3. Others (Tell me in the comments.)
By the way, don't forget to use those power stones!!
