Parallel Memory

"Hiro Ernest! You come up."

Professor William said as he pointed at Hiro.

He chose Hiro to show the difference when someone with great mana control ( Professor William ) and someone with bad mana control ( Hiro which he thinks ) use the same amount of mana for a punch.

"I have had enough!"

Sylvia said as she angrily prepared to say something to Professor William. She could not endure Professor William picking on Hiro anymore.

"Wait!"

Lisa said as she held Sylvia. She can't help but feel tired of having to always deal with Sylvia who easily becomes emotional.

"I know that you don't want Professor William to pick on Hiro. However, it is yet to be seen who will be humiliated."

Lisa said confidently. Anyone can see that Professor William is taking this opportunity to humiliate Hiro by showing the difference between him and Hiro.

However, having trained with Hiro and conquered multiple dungeons together, Lisa was sure that in terms of Mana Control, Hiro was very good.

She didn't know how good Professor William's mana control was but she knew that even if Hiro's mana control was lower than Professor William, it was not at the level that Professor William could humiliate Hiro.

Sylvia also stopped and knew what Lisa was talking about. Even if it was in terms of strength, Hiro would not be worse than Professor William. They had already seen Hiro defeat a rank-B monster and knew that he could even fight Professor William if needed.

Sylvia and Lisa along with other students looked at Hiro. Some felt pity while others were happy and thought that Hiro deserved this.

*SIGH!

Having no choice. Hiro slowly went up to the podium. He knew that refusing here would only give someone like Professor William a reason to mess with him.

"To show the difference, I will lower my rank to C. Then we will both punch the Power Testing Machine without any Art. This would be enough to show the difference between someone with Good Mana Control and bad Mana Control."

Professor William said.

He suppressed his mana and showed only that of Rank-C.

Professor William went up to the Power Testing Machine and by controlling his mana to one point, he struck the machine.

'BEEP! 534 points

The machine said as it displayed the power behind Professor William. Many didn't know whether it was high or low. Regardless, many believed they would die instantly if it were them receiving the punch and concluded it was high power.

"Now, Hiro Ernest. It is your turn!"

Professor William said while smirking.

Hiro obediently went up to the Power Testing Machine and tightly clenched his hand. He didn't know how many points he would get nor was he interested in beating Professor William's score.

However, he was indeed interested to know how many points he would get in comparison to Professor William. This was a good opportunity for him to compare his strength against someone else. Moreover, Professor William was also regarded as talented so he wanted to see whether he would be able to compare to someone like him.

-BANG!

'BEEP! 675 points!'

The machine said as it displayed the score for everyone to see.

"W-What? T-T...This can't be! You must have cheated somehow."

Professor William was quick to accuse Hiro of cheating without any evidence. He didn't expect that instead of humiliating Hiro, it would be he who would be humiliated by Hiro in front of everyone.

( How could this commoner have better mana control than me? This is impossible! )

He could not believe that someone like Hiro could possibly beat him without using an underhanded method.

As Professor William accused Hiro of cheating, many of the students who were watching the scene began to whisper and murmur among themselves.

"I can't believe it, Hiro actually scored higher than Professor William!"

"I wonder how he did it. Maybe he really did cheat."

"I don't know, I don't think Hiro is the type to cheat. Maybe he just has natural talent or has been practicing a lot."

One student spoke up, defending Hiro.

"Come on, let's not jump to conclusions. Just because Professor William didn't score as high doesn't mean Hiro cheated. Maybe there are other factors at play here."

As the students continued to discuss the situation, Hiro stepped forward and addressed Professor William directly. Hiro looked at Professor William with a calm expression, not showing any signs of guilt or shame.

"I didn't cheat, Professor. We can do this one more time if you don't believe me."

He said calmly. He had no bad intentions and only wanted to prove that he was innocent.

Professor William's face turned red with embarrassment and anger. He couldn't believe that a commoner like Hiro would have the audacity to talk back to him, a professor and a noble.

Moreover, he knew that his score would be the same even if they did it one more time. He would be only further humiliated if they did the test one more time. He thought that Hiro was intentionally challenging him.

"You insolent brat! How dare you speak to me like that?"

He yelled, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.

Hiro didn't flinch at the professor's outburst. He knew that he hadn't done anything wrong, and he wasn't going to let Professor William intimidate him. However, he didn't expect that Professor William would be such a petty person who was so unwilling to accept the result.

"I'm sorry if my words upset you, Professor. But I didn't do anything for you to be angry at."

Hiro replied, his voice firm but respectful.

Professor William seethed with anger.

"Looks like if I don't teach you a lesson, you will not learn how to respect your professor."

Professor William said as he released his mana aura. His mana aura which was Rank-B was on full display and many students found it difficult to breathe because of the pressure.

"Professor! Stop!"

Hiro called out. He didn't expect that Professor William would quickly resort to violence and was even harming the other students as he was not properly controlling his mana aura.

Professor William was furious and in no state to listen to others. Moreover, even if he was not, he would not listen to someone like Hiro.

Professor William's mana aura only increased as he prepared to attack Hiro.

"Looks like I have no other option!"
