Chapter 110. Attack vs Defense (5)
Ruin smiled.
Well, now that I’ve gotten the Grand Duke involved, it’s half resolved.
‘The Grand Duke won’t leave that supervisor alone.’
That daughter-obsessed father won’t stay still. Even if he knows it’s false, that man won’t forgive having a kidnapper at the school his daughter attends.
That’s why Silver Moon Supervisor Cruna glared at Ruin while struggling to breathe.
‘Damn it. Ruins Wayne…! To use the Grand Duke!’
Cruna glared at Ruin. He couldn’t be dragged away after being toyed with by Ruins like this.
Sure enough-
“Please call the professor that the Chairman newly brought in! Please let him use ‘Conversation with Objects’!”
“!”
The professors were greatly surprised.
‘Conversation with Objects?’
【Conversation with Objects】
That was a special-grade magic that could read the memories of objects. Therefore, information manipulation was meaningless. It was the worst enemy for Intelligence Agency members like Ruin who specialized in information manipulation.
The key was which object to investigate, but if they read an object’s memories, the professors would learn about Fire Butterfly.
The professors had good reason to be surprised.
“That’s not difficult, but which object…!”
“Obviously that supervisor badge!”
“!”
Cruna, who didn’t want to die by the Grand Duke’s hand, was desperate.
“If you investigate the supervisor badge, you’ll be able to tell if Professor Ruins is committing fraud!”
Ruin furrowed his brow.
Hmm. That wasn’t there when I investigated.
‘To think there was a hero hiding such an ability.’
More than that, did that Hero bastard bring in a professor in the meantime?
Well, that’s because the Regressor had definitely said this.
“There’s also a treasure chest in the Chairman’s Office, which gets discovered when a new professor comes in.”
Damn, I thought there was still time.
‘I need to hurry.’
The other professors also seemed surprised.
“The newly arrived professor, you mean the Materials Professor? That person can use such magic?”
Even the Principal didn’t seem to know.
Well, obviously the Hero must have found and brought them from somewhere again, claiming it was intuition.
“I heard they brought someone who had collapsed from hunger in front of Uncle.”
They didn’t even find them. Did they just roll in on their own?
‘As expected of a max-level Luck Power bastard.’
True to that max-level Luck Power, even if someone handed them trash, gold dust would come out of it. No matter how they rolled in, it just had to be Fire Butterfly’s natural enemy that rolled in.
“Yes, so Professor Ruins should also join the investigation!”
“Professor, how did you know about that ability?”
“Didn’t I assign that person’s room! I found out during that process!”
“If it’s true, let’s bring that professor! We’ll be able to tell who’s lying.”
During this process, Ruin looked on with disgust.
Cruna Yeager, was it? Anyway, this Silver Moon Supervisor also has quite high Luck Power.
Unlike some idiot who suffered diarrhea, food poisoning, and even kidnapping from just one light bout of misfortune, this one skillfully dodges everything.
「Ah, poor Charlie. For making the wrong friend.」
‘Be quiet.’
Anyway, Luck Power is the natural enemy of his misfortune.
‘Of course, the Silver Moon Supervisor herself isn’t enough to avoid my misfortune.’
Which means…
‘There’s someone with high Luck Power around the Silver Moon Supervisor.’
A Lucky Human so powerful that they even influenced their surroundings.
It wasn’t the Hero. The Hero wasn’t that close with the Dormitory Supervisors.
‘Who could it be? The First Prince?’
Because there was information that he had frequent contact with the Silver Moon Supervisor.
That’s when it happened.
“Then I’ll call Professor Ron. It was a liberal arts class, right?”
「Oh, Fire Butterfly Captain. If you use that magic, won’t your identity be exposed too?」
Ruin chuckled.
‘Well, it won’t matter since I’ve suppressed it with misfortune.’
Then Ginseng Superior giggled.
「What if the Hero comes? The Hero has gotten incredibly strong too. Their Luck Power might have increased in the meantime. They might suppress your misfortune.」
‘My misfortune has also increased though?’
「That’s right. You’ve really become strong enough to send even that body’s owner to their grave.」
…Why does this old man keep pricking at people’s conscience.
But ultimately it would be a battle of strength, so it was better not to clash. If that’s the case, then there’s no choice.
“If you insist that much. Please investigate thoroughly.”
Ruin placed the Silver Moon Supervisor’s Badge in Cruna’s hand. She was flustered by this.
“Huh, huh?”
He was giving this to her so readily?
However, Ruin turned around nonchalantly. Just as the Principal was about to take possession of the Supervisor Badge—
Whoosh!
“Ah!”
The Supervisor Badge in Cruna’s hand turned to ash and scattered down.
The Principal’s eyes turned sharp.
“Supervisor! What have you done!”
“Ah, no?! No, this isn’t something I did—!”
“Of course not! If you didn’t do it, then who did!”
“Obviously Ruins Wayne did it!”
“What? You’re saying Professor Ruins could cast magic powerful enough to shatter a Supervisor Badge imbued with the Hero’s Luck Power?”
“No! Then are you saying I’m capable of that?!”
Then Ruin said something.
“The Supervisor Badge contains Student Records. I heard that Supervisors certainly have the authority to destroy it for information protection.”
Ugh! That annoying guy!
The Silvermoon Teaching Assistants whispered among themselves.
“So he was planning to destroy the Supervisor Badge all along when he mentioned ‘Conversation with Objects.'”
“No, this is really unfair…!”
Meanwhile, Ruin, who had actually turned the Supervisor Badge to ash, played completely innocent.
He was able to turn the Supervisor Badge to ash thanks to the ring-type Special Grade Artifact he had taken from the 2nd Prince. It was the very ring that was meant to turn Haven into ruins when the Prince tried to commit suicide.
‘Its power is tremendous – anything it grazes melts away. It should be able to destroy even the Supervisor Badge’s defenses.’
Of course, the part used as the core is concerning.
That’s when it happened.
“Our Professor really did it!”
“!”
It was the Hero.
The Hero tried to shake hands as if praising Ruin’s hard work.
“I heard what happened. I did tell you there might be a Supervisor working with the Terrorist, but to actually catch them. As expected of Professor Ruins…”
Ruin openly avoided contact, not wanting to touch the Hero’s Magic Power.
“Did you find the Spirit Guardian?”
“Huh, what?”
When the Hero, who had extended his hand, looked confused, Ruin looked at him like he was a pile of dung.
“Don’t tell me you came here to play around when you haven’t even found the Spirit Guardian yet?”
The Hero was left speechless by the merciless harsh words.
…Our Head Professor is strict.
And he lost points too…
“I-I’m sorry.”
The Grand Duke secretly twitched the corners of his mouth as if pleased.
To be able to treat humanity’s strongest Hero like a piece of shit, this was the first time he’d seen someone with such audacity.
“As expected of our son-in-law. Already showing the skill to tear apart the Hero in place of his father-in-law…”
“If the Grand Duke has time to spare, please go catch the demons who escaped outside the Union.”
“Escaped demons?”
“There must be a demon who worked with this Dormitory Supervisor to bring in the bombs, but they escaped. It’s a special demon that would be very helpful for research, but they’ve fled too far away.”
…What?
“Then I’ll consider marriage.”
“What did you say!”
This time both the Principal and the Hero were surprised.
The Ginseng Superior asked.
「You. Is that really okay?」
‘He won’t be able to catch them anyway.’
Well, it would be very nice if he did catch them, but seeing the opponent’s escape skills, he knew.
‘He absolutely won’t catch them.’
So Ruin’s real purpose was to get the Grand Duke out of Haven. Milking the Grand Duke was nice, but he didn’t want him constantly hovering around in front of his eyes.
‘If he keeps staying comfortably in Haven, it’s annoying.’
Do you know how burdensome it is to receive a dowry list personally written by the Grand Duke once a day?
So Ruin spoke according to the memory information he received from the shadows.
“According to what I observed with my Frix, she appears to have blue hair, is female, and is wearing a blue muffler. She seems to have escaped eastward.”
“Is that all?”
“Unfortunately, yes.”
“No. I’m asking if that demon would really be enough.”
“Yes. I am a Demon Hunting Professor. There’s no better gift than something that allows me to conduct research for the Union.”
The Grand Duke looked at Ruin with great surprise. Was that the reason all the gifts he’d sent so far had been rejected?
The Grand Duke groaned deeply as if he had gained enlightenment.
‘So he really is a scholar…’
Ruin chuckled lightly at that worried sigh.
‘Yeah, of course you’d sigh. How are you going to catch them with just a description? So hurry up and go home…’
“Easy.”
…What?
“So what you’re saying is, if I bring that demon to you as a gift, you’ll marry my daughter?”
Excuse me?
The Grand Duke’s eyes flashed like a tiger’s. At the same time, magic power with enough force to destroy the earth surged upward. It was a power Ruin knew well.
【Full Bloom (Domain of Bloomed Truth)】
A transcendent domain that could be used upon becoming a Special-Grade Hero.
Special-Grade Magic Deployment unfolded.
Thoom!
A blue domain spread out with the Grand Duke at its center, and a magic deployment diagram like a massive magic circle covered the entire city.
The magic circle spun round and round in the sky and on the ground. And finally, a binding incantation that echoed through heaven and earth.
‘Immobility.’
Boom!
The magic circle stopped as if time had frozen. At the same time, the demons hiding throughout the eastern city screamed.
“Urgh!”
“No, suddenly my body!”
The demons couldn’t move. It was the ‘Absolute Restraint’ ability from the Grand Duke’s ‘Full Bloom’.
At the same time, the spy that Ruin had been looking for also couldn’t move their body.
‘What the hell is this…!’
Ruin, witnessing that scene, fell silent for a moment.
…That ability could be used on a city-wide scale?
‘Overpowered.’
A reputation comparable to the Five Evils makes sense. If used well, it would be advantageous when dealing with troublesome enemies.
However, even if they caught him like that, the problem was the distance of dozens of kilometers. Even with such binding ability, it would take time to go and capture him.
No matter how great it was, with something like that, he could escape within a minute if it were him…
That’s when it happened.
“Uncle!”
The Principal quickly placed a rod into the Hero’s hand.
“West 45 degrees direction, straight line.”
At the same time, the Hero’s eyes flashed. It was a cold gaze, different from before.
Soon he used his ability.
‘Death Sentence.’
Light burst forth like the morning sun rising. The rod filled with light flew heavily like throwing a shot put.
Boom!
This must be what it would look like if the sun became a spear. The Spear of Light filled with brilliant radiance flew instantly and pierced through the demon’s torso.
“Argh!”
It was the ultimate killing attack with very low accuracy, but if it hit, it would definitely kill the opponent. Of course, he must have adjusted the power to chick level since this time he just knocked them all unconscious.
With the sensation of having hit the target, the Hero clenched his fist.
“I got him! Professor Ruins! Of course, it seems I caught all the unrelated demons along the way, but I caught the demon you mentioned!”
So there was the Hero acting as if asking for points-
“What do you mean you caught him. I’m the one who caught him.”
The Grand Duke who was very displeased-
“Uncle caught him.”
And even the Principal who was very serious for some reason.
“…”
Ruin remained silent.
‘…Monsters.’
With those three, he would be in danger too.
More than that, Principal, did you have Clairvoyance-type abilities?
It seemed he had learned of abilities even the Demon Emperor didn’t know about.
‘I absolutely must drive a wedge between these three so they can’t form a team.’
If his identity is discovered, that would be the most dangerous.
「Still, this worked out well. We avoided a full-scale battle with a Special Grade Wanted Criminal, and we can interrogate him too.」
That’s true, but.
Ruin fell silent at the presence of the Demon Race that had been completely cut off from the city. What was he going to tell the Demon Emperor about this.
“Well then, will you become our family’s son-in-law now?”
“What are you talking about, I caught him, so Professor Ruins should be Charlotte’s husband!”
“You shut up! Why are you suddenly bringing up my nephew!”
“I can’t exactly say I’ll become the father-in-law!”
“This is insane! Then Professor Wayne, you tell us. Who caught him?”
“….”
…More than that, what do we do about this.
