Chapter 101. Choose the Head Professor (4)

 

“What? He exorcised it? That demon?”

 

Kalon doubted his own ears at this unexpected story.

 

“So Ruins Wayne did?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“A demon that would require at least five high-ranking heroes?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“And with salt, no less?”

 

“Yes! He doesn’t even discriminate with materials, how amazing!”

 

Damn it.

 

What kind of nonsense is this.

 

Kalon held his face, feeling like he didn’t know where to start objecting.

 

“Especially at the end… salt… what’s that about. Tell me again.”

 

“Exactly as I said! He really neutralized a high-level demon with just salt! If we knew the detailed method, wouldn’t it be useful on the battlefield too?!”

 

Does that make sense?

 

Theoretically, it doesn’t make sense. That Living Armor used a spell technique that summoned ghost-level darkness from among the advanced magic books stored at Haven.

 

‘The Chairman summoned it at will.’

 

Of course, since it was possession, there would be restrictions, but it was at a level that could easily destroy an entire army. But with just salt?

 

Since it was randomly summoned, he didn’t know what kind of darkness had entered, but there shouldn’t have been a problem with the grade. Especially since the magic included conditions to summon the strongest one.

 

“What about the Living Armor you made?”

 

“Ah! That was amazing too! He instantly disassembled the armor and made it into skewers…!”

 

“I wasn’t asking you to praise him.”

 

“Gasp. I’m sorry.”

 

The Teaching Assistants quickly bowed their heads at Kalon’s fierce gaze.

 

At the same time, Kalon ground his teeth.

 

If they’re talking like this in front of me, it’s obvious how much they must be praising Ruins behind my back. I thought I’d prove that bastard was unqualified, but instead I ended up proving his qualifications.

 

But what didn’t make sense still didn’t make sense. Kalon immediately headed for the Black Forest.

 

Bang!

 

Upon arriving at the forest entrance, he saw Ruin walking out just in time. Like a gentleman who looked great in a suit, Ruin welcomed Kalon.

 

“A Department Head Professor personally coming to inform me of test results?”

 

At that brazen smile, Callon looked at him with a menacing expression.

 

“No matter how I think about it, I can’t accept it.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“You really exorcised the Living Armor with salt?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Really with salt?”

 

Was that something to say with a face that looked ready to devour someone?

 

“Didn’t the Combat Department Teaching Assistants testify to it?”

 

Callon’s eyes became even more menacing.

 

“The method?”

 

“It’s a family trade secret.”

 

…This bastard?

 

Callon almost channeled magic power into one hand but barely held back.

 

“Really with salt?”

 

“Yes. It was even seasoned salt.”

 

“This son of a…”

 

Callon glared at Ruin as if he would stab him to death, but Ruin didn’t care and brushed off his clothes.

 

“Well, if you’re really curious about the method, why don’t you attend ‘my class’?”

 

“What did you say?”

 

“If you’d like to attend class as a ‘student’, I’d be happy to teach you in an easy-to-understand way.”

 

At that moment, the Teaching Assistants trembled as if a blizzard gale was blowing.

 

Others found it difficult to even converse with Callon for more than a second out of fear, yet to be able to speak to such a Callon for so long and so clearly. Professor Ruins also has incredible nerve.

 

“Anyway, since I passed the test as presented, haven’t I met the qualifications for Head Professor?”

 

“No.”

 

Callon’s eyes sharpened. He glared at Ruin who was still standing on the forest ground.

 

“You haven’t come out of that forest yet.”

 

“?”

 

“In other words, the test isn’t over yet. I never intended to stop you with mere monsters in the first place. The real examiner is me.”

 

As soon as the words fell, Kalon drew his magic wand. Ruin also quickly drew his magic wand from his chest.

 

It was instantaneous. Like drawing guns against each other, they aimed their magic wands at each other’s heads.

 

Ruin struck first.

 

‘Flame Kill!’

 

The heat bullet shot like lightning, tearing through the air as it flew toward Kalon.

 

However, Kalon deflected it with his magic wand like swatting away a fly and shouted briefly.

 

‘Eraser!’

 

At that moment, the mana flowing around Ruin was torn away. It felt like the magic had completely disappeared.

 

“…!”

 

As the fierce flames finally disappeared, Ruin frowned.

 

“That little trick of yours is annoying as always.”

 

“The top position wasn’t a joke, you know.”

 

The strongest ‘defense’ also includes ‘eliminating the opponent’s attack.’ Finally, Kalon’s staff was the first to slice through the air.

 

Crack!

 

In an instant, the air around the magic wand split and magic vibration echoed throughout.

 

Boom!

 

After all, Kalon was someone who had fought countless magic battles as the Combat Department Head Professor. As expected, he was no pushover.

 

‘Air Crushing!’

 

A wave that seemed to shatter the air itself attacked Ruin.

 

Normally he would have swallowed it with shadow, but using curse power in front of Kalon was dangerous. So he dodged with quick movements, but-

 

「The attack is following!」

 

Whether it had a tracking function, the magic chased after him.

 

‘Usually tracking features are high-level among high-level spells.’

 

His obsession was just like Kalon. It was nothing but annoying.

 

‘If an attack is coming, there’s only one way.’

 

Ruin changed direction and disappeared in an instant.

 

Whoosh!

 

And Ruin, who reappeared like a gust of wind, pounced on Kalon in a single moment.

 

“!”

 

Fine, if we’re going to die, let’s die together!

 

As Ruin suddenly pounced on him, Kalon gritted his teeth as if dumbfounded.

 

“This crazy bastard!”

 

At this rate, they’d both get caught up in it. He finally swung his magic wand.

 

‘Eraser!’

 

The magic disappeared.

 

As soon as it vanished, Ruin threw Kalon aside like he was trash.

 

“You really do erase things magnificently well. Thanks to that, one test is finished.”

 

Kalon’s eyes narrowed.

 

“Test?”

 

As soon as those words ended, Ruin’s palm struck down on Kalon’s chest.

 

‘Ruin!’

 

A powerful force of mana pressed down on Kalon’s chest. The shockwave was so strong that the ground behind Kalon’s back shattered to pieces.

 

Crash!

 

“…Guk!”

 

Though invisible, it was a heavy destructive force like a building pressing down.

 

‘What kind of magic…!’

 

Kalon was inwardly shocked.

 

The defense magic he was wearing was Gloucester’s strongest defense vision that could survive under any special-grade magic.

 

But that defense magic had developed a small crack. That alone was absurd, but the very person who caused the crack was talking nonsense.

 

“Well, you probably won’t feel pain from this much anyway, so let’s try a more painful method.”

 

What?

 

Before he could ask back, Ruin’s fist plunged into Kalon’s abdomen.

 

‘Impact Healing.’

 

Thwack!

 

Intense pain pierced through, and the vibrating magic power unique to Impact Healing spread through his organs. Part of his nervous system was temporarily paralyzed.

 

Kalon’s face contorted. In the suffocating pain, Ruin in front of him added as if he had expected this.

 

“As expected, since it’s ‘healing,’ it’s not treated as an attack.”

 

“…!”

 

This bastard, did he have such a dirty magic!

 

However, he wasn’t an opponent who would end with just one blow. Kalon let out a death rattle-like breath and seemed to fall to his knees, but soon glared up. Then he gritted his teeth and extended his staff.

 

Clang!

 

With a collision sound as hard as steel, Ruin was pushed back.

 

“To think you’re at a level that merely relies on physical power.”

 

Kalon took a deep breath. Magic power rose through his staff and wrapped around his body.

 

“I’ll show you why I was recommended as Head Professor.”

 

The ground shook.

 

“First, this is the first reason.”

 

A magic circle unfolded from the tip of his staff and floated in the air.

 

‘Battlefield Memory!’

 

“…!”

 

Ruin’s eyes sharpened.

 

Along with the magic, the floor writhed, and dozens of soldier figures appeared. They were the forms of soldiers who had fallen on the battlefield. In other words, the ‘memory’ of battles Kalon had experienced in the past had been materialized.

 

Then the Ginseng Superior, who had been hiding snugly in his pocket, laughed as if he found it absurd.

 

「What, just illusion magic in front of Fire Butterfly?」

 

No. This wasn’t just an illusion.

 

Materialized memories came rushing at him. Soldiers with swords, knights with hammers, those who had pushed through battlefields with shields.

 

That’s right. Each one wasn’t an ‘illusion,’ but rampaged like living battlefield specters.

 

And as if commanding them, Kalon swung his magic wand.

 

“Memories are heavier than swords. These are those who couldn’t die in my memories.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, the specters grabbed Ruin’s arms and legs.

 

Crack!

 

It was painful as if his leg bones would break. That was proof this magic wasn’t a simple illusion.

 

Ruin furrowed his brow as if troubled.

 

‘So he can manifest opponents from his memories into reality.’

 

The problem was that if he saw the Demon Emperor or Five Evils, it meant he could manifest them too…

 

“It means if I can see Fire Butterfly even once with these eyes, I’ll be able to summon Fire Butterfly too.”

 

Leave Fire Butterfly alone already!

 

Besides, Fire Butterfly is already watching!

 

Well, it didn’t matter either way.

 

‘So that’s why he was closest to becoming Head Professor. The directors would like that.’

 

Of course, powerful magic comes with its own price.

 

‘If it’s magic that relies on memories, it would require a lot of concentration.’

 

Then it would be dispelled if he could just disrupt his concentration, but his opponent wasn’t easy either.

 

That’s because Kalon was the absolute defense Gloucester. Even if he wanted to scatter his concentration, in front of that defense, even the Sword Emperor’s swordsmanship or artillery fire wouldn’t budge him. He had erased all nuclear bomb-level magic with ‘Eraser.’

 

Yeah, in short, it was cheating. Whether Haven Heroes or Pride Demons, they would run away just seeing Kalon.

 

That wasn’t all.

 

‘Possibility Elimination!’

 

Flinch.

 

Ruin’s mana became disrupted. Soon, black thread that seemed familiar from somewhere descended onto Ruin’s shoulder.

 

Right, this was the same thing that had sealed Owen’s ability before. In other words, it meant preventing Ruin from using magic.

 

Kalon smiled leisurely.

 

“I don’t know what your finishing move is yet, but whatever it is, you won’t be able to use magic with this.”

 

Special Grade Heroes possess Full Bloom level magic – finishing moves like ‘Possessed Flames,’ ‘Eraser,’ ‘Unavoidable,’ and ‘Execution.’

 

But-

 

‘Ruins Wayne is a lower-grade Hero, so he doesn’t have any finishing moves yet.’

 

Of course, if it were Fire Butterfly, he would use ‘Misfortune’ which rivals a finishing move…

 

‘I can’t use Misfortune.’

 

Kalon would still be memorizing Ruin’s appearance right now. Meaning it could be used as material for ‘Battlefield Memory.’

 

‘I can’t let Fire Butterfly be collected.’

 

And there was a reason why Kalon deliberately used ‘Battlefield Memory’ now.

 

‘To hide Eraser’s weakness.’

 

Eraser’s weakness?

 

It was simple.

 

‘Strike-based attacks like Combat Arts cannot be deleted. Destruction-based attacks that have already exploded also cannot be deleted.’

 

That’s why he had released defensive summons to counter such things.

 

Then the answer is simple.

 

Ruin infused magic throughout his entire body.

 

“Strength Enhancement.”

 

“Acceleration”

 

“Material Enhancement.”

 

Actually, he couldn’t use them and was just pretending to.

 

Kalon raised his eyebrows as if dumbfounded.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

“I’m strategizing.”

 

As Ruin kicked off and charged forward, Kalon was bewildered.

 

“Are you an idiot? I just removed your magic ability… huh?”

 

Ruin’s speed increased instantly.

 

What? Why is his speed even faster than before!

 

Panicked, Kallon swung his staff again.

 

‘Eraser!’

 

He removed the enhancement magic that should have been cast on Ruin, but it was useless. Of course it was. This was the basic speed of Ruin as a Shadow Creature and the pure physical strength of the Demon Race.

 

As proof of this, in the instant Kallon turned his head,

 

Crack!

 

Ruin’s fist, having already reached him, struck his solar plexus.

 

“Kugh!”

 

Along with the impact, Magic Vibration penetrated and struck his organs and nerves simultaneously. Kallon couldn’t help but be flustered.

 

‘Damn it! Why! Why doesn’t Eraser work!’

 

Kallon gritted his teeth. The sense of defeat from losing to something he didn’t even understand clawed at his body. This Bastard, what kind of ability was he hiding!

 

Ruin answered that facial expression.

 

“Were you curious about my finishing move?”

 

“!”

 

Ruin looked down at Kallon’s pained face. His lips were twisted in a bitter curve, and his tone was more languid than usual.

 

“My finishing move is…”

 

Kallon found himself unconsciously leaning in to listen.
