Jade Leywin POV

*DRIIIIN*

"And this is all for today's lesson, think about what I told you for the next time, everyone dismissed" I said as the school bell rang signaling the end of the lesson

I exited the classroom and started walking towards the classroom where the basic artificing class was held, I purposely took a longer route in order to patrol the school, technically I didn't need to physically go around patrolling since my golems and my perception were more than enough to keep the entire school in check but since no one knew about that I needed to look the part of the DC officer, I headed towards the back of a building reaching a small patch of grass outside of everyone's view

"You know you could at least try to mask your presence" I said, my voice tinged with annoyance

More than a dozen students walked out and surrounded me, they were all red cores, at varying stages and all of them drank the elixir Dranevee gave them, they all wore the battlemage uniform with a hooded cloak on top of it and by the looks of things they're all nobles

"Well, well, well it seems the rat is even more stupid than we thought, you knew we were following you and you headed here in this secluded area where no one can see or help you" the guy who looked like the leader of this bunch of losers said sneering

Wait do they seriously want to attack me? I'm an initial silver mage for god sake they're a bunch of red cores what exactly do they think they'll be able to do against me? I know the core stage isn't everything but there's no amount of technique that can close this much of a power gap, maybe the elixir made them more stupid

"Do you guys seriously think you have a chance against me?" I asked genuinely surprised and curious

"Shut up you lowly commoner, we are nobles, we are different from you, we are born to be strong" one of the idiots spat out

"Exactly, it should be strong people with pure lineages like us to be together with people like princess Kathyln" a fatass said wheezing

"Strong? You guys are a bunch of red core mages and you call yourselves strong?" I said raising an eyebrow

"Shut up, we are nobles trained to fight by the best teachers, you're just a lowly commoner who got a little lucky in life" another idiot shouted as he charged at me his fist clad in dark red fire

Oh god they're seriously trying to fight me, I watched as the idiot ran towards me, his fist held high and full of openings, huh dude if you don't hurry up a little I'll fall asleep before your punch can reach me, already fed up by their crap and not wanting to waste any more time I simply released my core pressure, enough to knock out all of them

*DOOM*

I watched as they all collapsed to the ground, pale faced and with pools forming between their legs, I held my dagger and used it to call the other members of the DC, after a couple of minutes I saw Art, Kathyln and Claire running towards me

"Woah, what happened here?" Claire asked looking at the group of noble brats

"They tried to attack me so I knocked out all of them" I said curtly

"Wait, how did you knock them out, I don't see any injuries nor any trace of a fight" Claire noted

"You used your pressure didn't you?" Art commented

"Yep"

"What pressure?" Kathyln asked dumbfounded

"When a mage's core go past a certain threshold or when they have enough experience in real fights they develop the ability to exert a psychological pressure at other people, since I'm at the dark silver stage and these guys are only at the red stages they weren't able to withstand my pressure and just lost consciousness" I explained
