I was an apprentice in Ferren

Chapter 106 Brutal Beating
With the arrow already on the bowstring, there was no time to lose. DuPont didn't have time to manage where the magical pet came from, and directly ordered it to fly to the roof.

The owl spread its four-foot-long, fluffy wings and flew arrogantly and silently through the night sky, circling the mansion three times to carefully examine it. DuPont's pupils also reflected a hazy white light as it shared vision, carefully searching for any magical creatures watching.

Fairies have unpredictable personalities and are quite playful, so I have to keep a close eye on them.

However, after the fourth round of circling, neither he nor Dupont found any trace of the magical pet, and Dupont felt incredibly lucky.

It seems Benjamin has really become lazy; he's so eager to play with women that he's even neglecting to maintain his pet's vigilance.

Of course, it's also possible that he has already left.

Just as they were about to climb over the wall, they suddenly discovered that in addition to the broken glass, the wall was also emitting a faint arcane aura.

He focused intently but couldn't find the hidden item due to the angle. DuPont then had his magical pet fly onto the wall, and through its eyes, he finally found the problem.

Behind the two best climbing spots, there are two areas covered with copper wires, where a faint magical light can be seen.

It's a spell trap, and a fire trap that can explode.

From the owl's perspective, the trap looks rather dilapidated due to a lack of maintenance over a long period of time.

This trap costs at least several dozen gold coins. Looking at it this way, although Benjamin didn't spend a lot of big money, he was still willing to spend small amounts.

However, this may not be his permanent residence; he simply placed traps in the two most conspicuous locations, which shows his cunning.

But because there haven't been any safety issues for a long time, this guy has almost forgotten about it, and being exposed to the wind and sun outside might not be effective anymore.

But DuPont has no intention of trying it out in person.

If the other party is still enjoying themselves at home, stirring up trouble would mean facing a seasoned fifth-ring mage head-on, and in the other party's home turf, there's little chance of winning.

It also doesn't align with my idea of ​​coming over to teach him a lesson.

If someone dies, the academy will definitely send in spies to investigate, and if things get out of hand, it won't be in his best interest.

While sending an owl to the roof to keep watch, DuPont quietly cast a spell from below the wall.

A scroll burst into flames, and DuPont's form instantly transformed into a rather handsome half-elf.

First-level illusion spell: Disguise

Of course, one cannot show their true face when doing bad things. Even if they wear a mask, they may still be recognized by a semi-acquaintance. In order to be absolutely sure, one must change one's ways.

After disguising himself, DuPont cast the spell again.

Second Circle Alteration Spell: Cat's Agility
Although increasing strength is the easiest and simplest way to climb over walls, this time he is not just climbing walls, but sneaking around in secret. In this case, agility is more important.

Although his strength of 14 points is not high, it is enough for him because he is thin.

Arcane light flashed on DuPont, but no one on the deserted street noticed the momentary light. DuPont glanced at the wall and quickly explored it with his hands, soon finding several gaps he could use.

Memorizing the location, DuPont took a few steps back, lunged forward, and leaped up by pushing off the wall with his left foot. With a second step, he used his right foot to push off the tiny gap he had just found, placing his palm on the edge of the wall.

With a forceful push of his fingers, DuPont's veins bulged on the back of his hand and forearm. He paused briefly to catch his breath, then bent his right leg and stepped forward again. With a twist of his body and a burst of strength, he flipped over the wall.

He broke out in a cold sweat looking at the shard of glass that had come within 3 centimeters of his waist. Although it was unlikely to hurt his thick skin, even the thickest skin would feel painful if it got scratched, and if his newly bought cloak got damaged, the repair cost would be several tens of gold coins.

Just as DuPont was wiping his sweat, the door suddenly opened, and Benjamin walked out shirtless with a lewd grin: "Haha, the weather's been warm lately, we can totally enjoy the beautiful night view together in the pool in the yard and chat about life. There's a saying in the Far East, 'Geese playing in the water,' you know."

The female elf beside her replied listlessly, but if 50 gold a month could make a level three warrior pledge allegiance, then for an ordinary person, that was truly just a pipe dream.

But just then, her darkvision suddenly revealed a strange figure in her own mansion, and she was immediately terrified: "A thief!"

"Holy shit!" DuPont and Benjamin cursed simultaneously, instantly raising their rings and activating the spells on them.

Lightning Bolt! Silence!
A dazzling white rainbow flashed by, and a powerful electric current instantly pierced through the body of the black-clad man with long ears. However, the words "Silence Technique" sent a chill down Benjamin's spine.

Holy crap, I was ambushed by a thief!

They came prepared!
A silent barrier with a diameter of 40 yards instantly unfolded, and Benjamin inside could not hear a sound for a moment. He was terrified and immediately pushed aside the female elf next to him and ran into the house. As long as he got out of the range of this silence spell, he had at least nine ways to make this ignorant thief wish he were dead.

However, his reaction was quick, but the figure behind him ran even faster. Before he had even escaped three yards, he felt a pain in his waist and was knocked to the ground.

Enraged by excessive fear, Benjamin lay on the ground, letting out a silent roar as he tried to retaliate with his massive size. However, the half-elf riding on his back was incredibly agile, and his punches were powerful and heavy. The opponent easily dodged his attacks and instead rained blows on Benjamin, causing him to scream silently and retching incessantly.

In the moment of crisis, Benjamin raised his arm to try to protect his face, looked at his lover and gestured, trying to call her to do something.

The female elf saw Benjamin's gaze, but the violent scene had already terrified her enough that she dared not come closer.
But then she thought that if Benjamin met with misfortune, she would probably be killed by the thief to silence her. So the female elf mustered her courage and came over, but before she could get close, she was so frightened by a single look from the half-elf that she collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Benjamin was furious.

Who the hell asked you to come and help? This silence barrier is only 40 feet wide. Why don't you just run out and call the guards?

But the female elf was only a mortal, and her iron fists didn't give Benjamin time to feel remorse. A dozen more punches came down, and Benjamin's heart was completely filled with fear. He struggled to drop the space bag at his waist, trying to make her spare him because of her greed, so that he would have a chance to escape.

However, as a mage apprentice, DuPont knew exactly how terrifying the Fifth Ring Mage's strength was. The power of that lightning bolt made his internal organs tremble. He would not defend himself unless he knocked the guy unconscious.

With left and right punches, Benjamin struggled to defend himself, his movements becoming increasingly slow compared to DuPont's still relatively abundant stamina.

The insults couldn't be conveyed, the anger couldn't be expressed. Benjamin opened his mouth to spit in retaliation, but DuPont easily dodged it and elbowed him in the fat belly.

Although DuPont hadn't practiced the Iron Elbow technique, Benjamin's fighting experience was clearly lacking. The immense pain caused the obese middle-aged man to open his mouth wide. Anger and pain unleashed all the power from his massive body. He grabbed DuPont's clothes with all his might and flung him away, but before he could catch his breath and struggle to his feet, the half-elf twisted his arm and slammed his knee into his ribs.

Even in the ring, this was a deadly move. Benjamin's eyes widened like a goldfish after taking the hit. DuPont looked at the ugly fat face without any pity and threw a left hook and a right straight punch in succession. Soon, the opponent had no strength left to fight back.

Finally, the mentor beneath him was completely reduced to a swollen pig's head, and his body no longer had the strength to resist. DuPont then wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Somewhat weak, DuPont slowly walked toward the spatial bag. At this moment, Benjamin suddenly opened his eyes. He scrambled into the room on all fours, but then felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and completely lost consciousness.

She retracted the healing staff in her hand, kicked it, and only felt relieved when she saw that he no longer reacted.

If I hadn't known this guy's strength inside and out, I would have been careless and let that bastard escape.

Looking at Benjamin's pig-headed appearance, DuPont thought to himself, "Let's see how you treat me this time." The gloomy mood he felt from being schemed against finally eased, but to avoid thinking about personal grudges, DuPont picked up the spatial bag.

Let's see what good things this cheap homeroom teacher has to offer.
