Chapter 112. Attack vs Defense (7)

The terror was instantaneous.

The explosion swallowed all sound.

KWAAAAAAANG!!

Before the professors could do anything, the bomb fell. The ground shook, and heat and shockwaves swirled among the students.

At that sight, the professors froze pale.

“Dear God…!”

No one could have imagined it. That it would fall as a direct hit on such young students, children who couldn’t even properly handle Defense Magic yet.

“…Everyone…”

“…They’re all dead…”

Despair settled heavily. Someone fell to their knees. It was a silence where even breathing felt like a sin.

But then it happened.

Glimmer.

“!”

A familiar light emerged from within the black smoke.

One.

Two.

Three.

Small light sources began to shine from within the smoke.

Red, blue, yellow.

As those hopeful colors emerged, the professors’ eyes widened.

“That light is…!”

As the smoke cleared, they witnessed an unbelievable sight.

“The children…!”

On the students’ shoulders, chests, and wrists. Small Mana Entities were floating in the air, having risen on their own from various places.

‘Frix.’

These were things that all the students who had taken Ruin’s class had automatically brought out without realizing it.

The small and weak messenger spirits were now blocking the path in front of their masters. Even the Frix that had been tiny lights grew enormous as they stood protecting their owners. It was understandable that the students would be bewildered.

“Wh-what is this…?”

“My Frix… protected me…?”

No, it wasn’t just their owners.

The enlarged Frix combined with each other to create a massive protection shield. The various shaped Frix that had always been small and cute were now protecting all of Haven.

When everyone was bewildered about why this phenomenon had occurred, someone shouted.

“It’s Professor Ruins’ class…!”

Soon after, cheers followed. There were tears welling up in their eyes.

“He really taught us…!”

“That Automatic Defense Magic Application!”

As if they couldn’t believe they had survived, the students hugged each other. It was a chaotic situation, but the students were definitely safe.

That’s why when Ruin arrived among the faculty, the professors looked at Ruin with admiration. They couldn’t even speak properly.

“Professor! That, that!”

“Yes. That’s what I taught them.”

“Professor!”

They were almost crying.

It was unbelievable. All the students were alive in the midst of such an explosion. The only injuries were minor scratches at most. Even the 1st Year Students who weren’t skilled in magic.

“My goodness, what a miracle!”

If they had focused on Berserk Magic as the Military had suggested, all the students would have died.

“Don’t tell me you anticipated even this situation… and devoted yourself to defense?”

“Well, preparing for every situation is what a Demon Hunting Professor should do.”

The professors were speechless. What would have happened if Ruins Wayne hadn’t taught that magic…

That’s why someone suddenly spoke up.

“A hero.”

Those words that slipped out soared up toward the sky.

“The hero who saved the students!”

Indeed, this news would spread throughout the Union and even to the Military. He was curious about how they would react to this incident.

Meanwhile, familiar faces came running toward Ruin.

“Professoooor!”

It was the Third Year Students, including Goldsky and the Imperial Princess.

Ruin praised the two of them.

“Fortunately, you taught the underclassmen well.”

In fact, he had already given instructions to the Goldmoon 3rd and 4th Years.

“If you don’t teach them properly, your necks will end up like this.”

Just thinking about that moment still scared the Goldmoon Students.

‘Ruins… he really was going to break the staff.’

Terrified by that, Goldmoon frantically taught Pricks Defense Magic. Even to students from other dormitories.

“Hey, Goldmoon, are you crazy?! Why are you doing this!”

“If you don’t learn, we’ll die! We’ll die!”

“Ahhh, stop! Stop it! I get it, so don’t strangle me!”

Why were these guys who would fire professors at the drop of a hat acting like this!

However, the Imperial Princess still tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand.

“But there were students who hadn’t fully mastered it, so how did they have such power…!”

Ruin let out a hollow laugh.

“Frix isn’t just simple Messenger Magic. It’s a life form derived from the master’s soul and emotions. In other words, the strong instinct to survive is more important than theory.”

“!”

Goldsky suddenly realized something.

“Then could it be that it usually didn’t activate well because…!”

“If it activates easily even in daily life, then either they’ve trained that much, or they’re Heroes who are always prepared to die.”

“!”

The Imperial Princess swallowed hard. Had that day’s lesson truly existed for this moment…!

But the Imperial Princess was a genius. A perfect academic mage skilled in magic circuits, logic, and magic formulas. That’s why this method of magic didn’t make sense to her.

Emotions? Instinct? Wishes?

That becomes magic?

As if reading that look in her eyes, Ruin spoke.

“As a scholar, I know theory is important too. But sometimes, desperate wishes can overcome theory.”

Ruin looked up at the sky.

Ruin’s figure looking at the sky seemed strangely sad.

“That’s why I created this magic.”

“…!”

At that calmly delivered answer, the Imperial Princess’s eyes widened. Goldsky covered his mouth, thinking ‘The White Mage had such a story…’

The Imperial Princess also bit her lip. Perhaps this man too had a reason for creating this magic…?

But there was someone who trampled that touching and emotional situation with a single line of disbelief—

「That’s why I created this magic~~~ …what bullshit.」

Ginseng Superior seemed to find such Seed pathetic.

「You just made this to chase away mosquitoes when sleeping outdoors. Desperate wishes my ass.」

‘Please be quiet. I need to look like a real mage right now.’

Ruin plucked off one of Ginseng Superior’s leaves without hesitation. Ginseng Superior screamed.

「Kyaaaah! My head! Why again!」

‘I think I’ll need it.’

Ruin put that leaf into the inner pocket of his formal suit. Then he quickly surveyed the surroundings. His eyes instantly shifted into tactical mode.

Sure enough.

“So. Haven’t you seen Judith Isles?”

“!”

The Imperial Princess’s eyes flickered sharply. Of all times, for the name Judith to come from this Professor’s mouth right now.

‘That girl at this timing? Not me?’

The Imperial Princess consciously closed her lips.

She knew this was petty jealousy. But her emotions couldn’t be folded away so simply.

A brief silence, and it was Goldsky who filled that gap.

“I think I saw Princess Judith right in the middle where the bomb fell.”

The moment he heard those words, Ruin’s complexion changed drastically.

Damn it. Not there!

* * *

The central area where the bomb fell.

The aftermath of the terror attack was much greater than expected.

“Cough, cough…!”

“Help me out here!”

Students were evacuating from the chaotic scene. Fortunately, thanks to Frix’s automatic defense, there didn’t seem to be any students with serious injuries.

But she wasn’t visible.

‘Princess Judith Isles.’

Ruin’s footsteps became more urgent.

Reaching the center of the explosion site, he searched for the princess among the students wearing identical uniforms. Because he knew Toad would come to kidnap her.

And for good reason, Judith was a candidate for ‘King of Mages.’

That bastard’s scheme was obvious.

After killing Judith and devouring her vast magic power, that crazy bastard would break free from his leash. Just as Echo had said.

But right now, Judith dying was a problem, and it would also be a problem if the unleashed Toad went after Haven’s military funds… no, my severance pay!

‘Let me retire already! Damn it!’

And in such an open area, it was the perfect terrain for a kidnapping.

‘I need to find her quickly…’

That’s when it happened.

「Oh! There she is!」

“!”

Ruin’s eyes widened.

Through the dust and collapse site, he could see a student casting Frix magic.

It was Judith. She was using Frix not only for defense but also to evacuate the injured.

So Ruin couldn’t help but be inwardly surprised.

‘Could it be that she’s even learned another way to use Frix?’

That’s something I haven’t even taught yet.

If the Imperial Princess was a perfect theoretical genius, then the Princess seemed to be a genius of intuitive Emotional Magic.

Just then, Judith, who had been dealing with the debris and students, spotted Ruin.

“Professor Ruins!”

As soon as she saw Ruin’s face, a bright smile spread across Judith’s face.

Ruin breathed a short sigh of relief.

“Isles.”

At that moment, the air was torn apart.

Riiip!

“!”

Everything around twisted as darkness surged in. As if space itself was warping, a Gate opened behind Judith.

“…Danger!”

Ruin reached out his hand.

But it was too late.

From within the Gate, a man’s voice rose up.

“The rumored Demon Hunting Professor, I presume? You’ll only get in the way. I’ll be taking the Princess.”

Toad.

Soon the Gate swirled violently, sucking Judith’s body in. Ruin’s fingertips brushed against her collar.

“Judith!”

At the same time.

“Professor Ruins is nowhere to be seen!”

“He headed toward where the Princess was!”

“But… space twisted, and they both disappeared!”

The Hero’s eyes wavered unusually, and the Principal froze.

The Professors were the same, unable to continue speaking. Just moments ago they had been heatedly debating ‘why the Hero’s magic didn’t work.’

What did they just say?

“…Both of them were kidnapped?”

Grand Duke Eden was also greatly shocked upon hearing the staff officer’s report.

“Judith!”

The bomb was stopped.

But in the end, he had failed to protect the most important things.
