Chapter 104. Choose the Head Professor (7)
“Hand.”
The Teaching Assistants and Students’ eyes widened in shock.
Just… with that?
But Ruin sighed as he watched his rampaging Subordinate.
And then-
Crack!
He kicked the Demon Beast’s jaw with his foot.
Bang!
As the Demon Beast bounced off the Wall and staggered, Ruin quietly extended his hand.
“Hand.”
Did getting hit bring him to his senses? The Subordinate grabbed Ruin’s hand with his trembling hand.
Ruin quietly gripped that hand and nodded.
“Good.”
Kalon looked on as if wondering what kind of situation this was.
The Demon Beast… listened to him?
At that moment, Ruin turned around and said.
“This is Subjugation Magic.”
That’s when it happened. The Subordinate Demon Beast who had regained his senses jumped up as if delighted.
[Master!]
Just as the Subordinate was sniffling and about to embrace Ruin with his large body-
Crack!
Ruin’s fist flew precisely to his jaw.
The Demon Beast that rolled once more quietly knelt down and lay flat under his master’s Shadow.
“Now, this is Subjugation Magic.”
“….”
“Isn’t that just beating it up…?”
“Shh.”
Kalon shut his mouth as if dumbfounded, and the Teaching Assistants and Students went beyond bewilderment to admiration.
“Was there a Professor who could use Subjugation Magic…?”
Another Teaching Assistant answered.
“It’s not easy….”
Professor Kalon couldn’t handle subjugation either. As long as he was human, he felt fear toward Demon Beasts.
‘You’d have to be incredibly fearless.’
That kind of courage could only be possessed by someone at the Hero level.
Just as Kalon was about to argue something, he was silenced by the whispers of the Teaching Assistants behind him.
“Wow… this is the first time I’ve seen a Professor stronger than our Professor….”
“To think Professor Kalon would be pushed back….”
The voices were quiet but clearly audible.
‘This is impossible.’
He had applied the most accurate theory. He moved according to the textbook, and his Magic’s form, speed, and power were not lacking. But why…?
Then, Ruin chuckled.
“The Textbook isn’t wrong. However-”
He continued speaking.
“Those who survived were always the ones who surpassed the correct answers.”
Thump, Kalon’s heart sank. At this very moment, he had been completely ‘defeated’ under the name of Professor.
He turned around without saying anything. It seemed like the sound of his pride crumbling could be heard from the back of his head.
A Teaching Assistant who was watching this pitifully asked.
“So Professor, what are you going to do with the captured Demon Beast?”
“I’ll use it in my classes from now on.”
“In Demon Hunting Studies?”
The Shadow Subordinate was extremely delighted.
Master wants to keep me by his side. Good! I’ll loyally stay by Master’s side and protect him….
“I’ll use you as a sandbag.”
Excuse me?
“I’ll use you as a sandbag for the students.”
…Master? Um?
…Excuse me?
…Excuse me?!
* * *
“Amazing! The Head Professor Appointment Letter came out!”
However, Ruin sighed.
Right. The appointment letter did come out.
Though Kalon got scolded for trying to burn it.
He even said coldly.
“Be careful not to get into an accident on your way home, won’t you?”
Phew, how scary.
Still, those words meant in a way that he acknowledged Ruin as the Head Professor.
“And the Head Professor’s weapon came out too!”
Oh, it came out.
It came out quickly.
“Well, this time the Principal placed the order though….”
“Hm? Wasn’t it originally the Hero who placed orders?”
“Well, the Chairman specially wanted to give you a staff ‘made by grinding down a Holy Sword’ this time….”
…A Holy Sword for a demon. Is there someone to kill? Just imagining it is terrible.
‘I should be grateful to the Principal.’
When Ruin opened the box, Ginseng Superior exclaimed in admiration. It was a sleek and refined Black Noble Staff.
「Oh, damn, this is worth a fortune? Give me this and I’ll lend you my power.」
‘No. I need the staff too.’
Because the staff was a very important weapon that served as an ‘aiming’ tool. Without a staff, you could only emit magic randomly, unable to cast spells where you wanted them.
And since he would be using special-grade magic, he needed a sturdy staff that could withstand it. It was the same principle as a powerful swordsman seeking a durable sword.
“Ah! Of course, someone of the Wayne Family’s caliber would use even better weapons, but…”
“No. This is ten million times better than the ‘Haven 40th Class Alumni Association’ staff.”
“Excuse me?”
“Never mind.”
「By the way, what magic did you ask God to cast?」
‘That’s a secret.’
「Ah, how petty!」
Because if he told, Ginseng Superior would sulk.
Then, the teaching assistant spoke joyfully.
“Now with this, you can even go hunt the Demon Emperor.”
Hunt the Demon Emperor my ass. Now that he had the staff, he planned to become the dormitory supervisor of Gold Gate after Kalon resigned and leisurely collect his severance pay.
“Oh, come to think of it, you said you wanted to become a dormitory supervisor too, didn’t you Professor? The Principal said a Gold Gate position might open up, so he could give you that spot.”
Perfect. With this, he could avoid the Hero and Grand Duke and leisurely search for treasure chests in the dormitory…
“How nice is Gold Gate Dormitory, you ask? With tremendous support from parents, there’s luxurious food, ‘Sacred’ artifacts funded by parental donations installed throughout the dormitory like barriers, ‘Demon Detection’ platforms at the entrance, and even ‘Demon Beast Repelling’ talismans placed under the beds! And every day a ‘Clergy’ group visits to perform ‘Prayers’ and sprinkle ‘Holy Water’ – it’s completely like ‘God’s Sanctuary’ itself!”
“…”
…I’m not going to exorcise my subordinates, I’m going to get exorcised myself? No, wouldn’t my very existence be classified as a cursed object?
Ginseng Superior burst out laughing with a “Pukakgakagak.”
“Since they’re nobles, they have deep faith, and it’s an absolutely forbidden zone for demons. So honestly, patrolling Gold Gate is easy too. It’s like taking a stroll.”
Ruin staggered and nearly collapsed.
‘This is problematic when dormitory students are too rich…’
「Just get exorcised.」
‘You’d get exorcised along with me.’
「Ah, that’s a bit…」
In the end, Ruin’s answer was already decided.
‘Now that it’s come to this…’
“I’ll eliminate the terrorist and the dormitory supervisor who’s in league with him, then take that position.”
The teaching assistant was startled by his words that sounded like announcing a military operation.
“A, a terrorist?!”
Unlike the surprised Lily, Ginseng Superior poked his head out of the pocket as if dumbfounded.
「You right now… aren’t you trying to do something too beneficial for the Union?」
‘…’
「Isn’t that a bit wrong? Cooperating with the Union, maintaining order, implementing justice… that’s clearly on the good side, right? You’re not that kind of person.」
Then Ruin gritted his teeth.
‘…This is for world peace.’
「Evil spirit… with that expression right now, no one will believe you when you talk about world peace.」
‘Honestly, I don’t know why I have to do this right now either, but for my severance pay, I can even save humanity.’
「…What a truly noble motive.」
‘That’s right. God would surely be pleased too.’
「I’m the god and I’m scared, you know?」
Then, Teaching Assistant Lily approached as if surprised.
“Is there a terrorist at the academy?”
“There was intelligence that among the dormitory supervisors, there’s someone in contact with a terror organization.”
“Th, that kind of thing should be left to the special forces, shouldn’t it…?”
However, Ruin closed his eyes as if entrusted with a noble mission.
“No. The dormitory supervisor is the homeroom teacher of precious students. To think such a person is a dangerous individual who joins hands with terrorists. How would the students be exploited? I’m very concerned about that.”
“Professor…!”
「…Bullshit. You just want to steal the dormitory supervisor position.」
Please be quiet.
Ruin headed somewhere with dignity.
* * *
“…So, you’re saying you’ll give up the Head Professor position?”
Kalon looked at Ruin with suspicious eyes. This bastard was saying he’d willingly hand over the position to someone who had coveted it his entire life.
No, wait, how long had this bastard even been Head Professor?
“However, there’s a condition.”
“…A condition?”
“Give me the Gold Gate Dormitory Supervisor position.”
“…?”
For a moment, Kalon froze as if he couldn’t understand.
Actually, Kalon’s resignation had been prevented by Ruin’s opposition. Originally, they had planned to kick Kalon out, but Ruin stopped it after learning he couldn’t enter Gold Gate anyway.
“We can’t let such a precious colleague go in such an absurd way.”
Kalon was very flustered by Ruin’s camaraderie and goodwill, but for Ruin, it couldn’t be helped. Instead of making Kalon resign, the Hero had tried to put him in charge of Military security.
They even asked him to guard the prison where the Special Grade Wanted Criminal was held. They said it seemed like the reason the Terrorist was targeting Haven was to break out the Special Grade Wanted Criminal.
It was a completely wrong deduction, but it was very troublesome for Ruin.
‘…Are they crazy? That’s where the Treasure Chest is.’
He could ignore it, but the problem was that Second Prince Ryle, the Regressor, had said this.
“Well, what’s there are Demon Emperor’s Items, so I didn’t care about them.”
Damn. Could it really be the Demon Emperor’s Heart this time?
Anyway, if he sent Kalon there and he noticed the heart first, that would be troublesome. Of course, from Kalon’s perspective, this would be outrageous.
Indeed, Kalon rarely grabbed his forehead.
‘What kind of situation is this now.’
After all that fuss, now he’s giving up the Head Professor position to become a dormitory supervisor?
“What’s so great about that position?”
“I need to run away.”
“…From whom.”
“The Grand Duke.”
“….”
Kalon was dumbfounded.
“Is that Grand Duke looking for you?”
“He proposes three times a day.”
“…Are you serious?”
“The competition ratio for grooms is 1:1.”
“….”
Ruin was serious.
“Anyway, I’m in a position where I need to run away. And there’s no better safe zone than the dormitory. No one can enter except the Dormitory Supervisor.”
“…So, you’ll give up the Head Professor position in exchange for the Gold Gate Dormitory Supervisor position?”
“Yes.”
“…Are you insane?”
However, Ruin shrugged his shoulders.
“No. It’s practical. Gold Gate has cushy patrol duties, and the meals are aristocratic. And-”
“And?”
“Most importantly, it’s the dormitory that the Grand Duke hates the most.”
“…”
Kalon finally realized.
‘…This bastard is trying to use the dormitory as an air raid shelter?’
His mind went blank.
“Are you kidding? After causing all that commotion? The Chairman even said he’d take you on a Catalun hunt. He said your level of skill is too good to waste.”
Yeah, that’s exactly why.
Would I be crazy enough to go hunt the Five Evils?
Of course, without saying such things out loud, Ruin smiled brightly and pulled out a contract to unfold it.
“Naturally, I’ll transfer all authority too. In return, please give me full authority as Combat Department Head Professor. I’ll also select the new professors myself.”
…What is this guy really.
“Oh, and I’d like to take over the research lab you’re currently using with all the items intact, if possible.”
Kalon’s temple twitched.
“…How much do you think the artifacts and tools in there are worth?”
It must be enormous. For a Combat Department Head Professor’s research lab.
Ruin smiled nonchalantly.
“Think of it as key money.”
The demands were becoming increasingly excessive, but for Kalon, who had spent his entire life yearning only for the Head Professor position, it was an irresistible bait that would inevitably shake him.
“What do you think?”
Ginseng Superior seemed unable to understand.
「…What are you thinking? The Demon Emperor said he’d waive the interest just for being in the Head Professor position!」
Ruin smiled cheerfully.
‘Of course, they’re temporarily taking it to find the terrorist.’
「…But you already handed over the transfer contract! That’s the end of it!」
Ah, it’s fine.
The seal on that contract is fake, you see.
