Chapter 120. Joint Class (3)

-Please conduct joint classes with Professor Kalon for the time being. Our Head Professor, fighting! o(^^o) (o^^)o Let’s go!]

What kind of joint class is this? We’re completely incompatible. That bastard literally throws torture magic at me whenever he sees me.

So when I said I wouldn’t do the joint class…

-Then would you like to do it with me? o(^^o) (o^^)o

…Damn it.

Still, the Hero would be better than that bastard who throws torture magic. Besides, it’s a million times better than the request to ‘teach Information Studies as Head Professor.’

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“…”

All of Ruin’s belongings in the Demon Hunting Classroom had been completely destroyed.

“Ah, sorry! My fortune seems to have gone a bit overboard! Haha!”

“…If your fortune was excessive, why is my equipment destroyed?”

“Fortune flows ‘as I wish’ it to.”

“…Then what did you wish for just now?”

The Hero smiled brightly.

“If Professor Ruins becomes penniless, wouldn’t you stay at the Academy longer?”

“…”

Should I kill him?

That wasn’t all.

“Professor Ruins~ I have something I’m curious about.”

The Hero raised his hand enthusiastically just 3 minutes into class.

Instead of answering, Ruin frowned.

“If a member of the Demon Race infiltrated deep into a Union Base, how would they escape as a spy?”

Ruin narrowed his brow.

“…Isn’t that within the scope of Information Department classes?”

“That could be possible~ I’m curious about the former Demon Hunting Professor’s opinion. For example, someone like Fire Butterfly.”

“….”

“For instance. If such a person infiltrated the academy, how would they act? If they were to recruit students, how would they approach them?”

Ruin’s eyebrow twitched slightly.

‘…This bastard, he’s being blatant.’

The Hero’s lips curved expectantly toward Ruin.

“Perhaps they’d teach magic to students? Protect them? Heal them?”

“…That might be possible.”

“Exactly! And then they’d capture their hearts while hiding their identity and analyzing the inside. Wow, Professor. You know so well!”

The students giggled. Ruin’s brow twitched distinctly.

“And also, Professor.”

“…What now.”

“Do you personally have any feelings about Pride?”

“That’s a question unrelated to the class.”

“No, it’s very related. The target of Demon Hunting Studies is Pride, isn’t it? Perhaps some grudge or anger toward Pride… or even sympathy-”

“They’re enemies. I have no emotions. They’re merely hunting targets.”

“Wow, you’re really decisive. But. If Professor Ruins were a spy for Pride, who would you eliminate first?”

“…You.”

At those words, the classroom erupted. Students banged their heads on their desks, clutching their stomachs as they giggled.

“Professor Ruins is the best.”

“He cuts with words.”

Meanwhile, the Hero seemed genuinely delighted as he cast magic.

And so appeared on the bulletin board the schedule for next week’s classes.

-Hero×Ruins Wayne–【Anti-Spy Magic Practice】 Weekly Course Opening!

Seeing this, Ruin muttered with a rotten expression.

“…Kalon, please come back. I’ll never mess with your seal again…”

“Hey, that person tortured you, Professor.”

“You… torture my mind.”

The students clutched their stomachs and laughed again.

Still, Ruin seemed to know one thing for certain. As evidence, the Hero muttered as he left the classroom.

“If someone called Fire Butterfly really entered the academy this way…”

“?”

“And if he escaped from Pride, the Union could accept him too, right?”

At that question, Ruin pretended not to hear and gave no answer. Instead, he became certain of just one fact.

‘…This bastard changed his strategy to recruiting me after the day the Demon Emperor appeared.’

Then couldn’t he use this to his advantage in getting his severance pay?

So on the next class day-

“Professor Ruins, we have our joint class today too, right?”

Just as the Hero had announced, he came to enter the class with a bright smile-

“Professor Kalon. This way.”

Ruin appeared leading Kalon.

“Huh?”

The Hero’s smile froze unnaturally. Regardless, Ruin stood at the podium and spat out harsh words.

“Personally, I have more to learn from Professor Kalon than from the Chairman.”

“…!”

Wait, what does that mean?

The Hero’s eyes widened.

“No, yesterday you said the class with me was so interesting-”

“That was just the Chairman’s personal impression.”

“…”

Meanwhile, Kalon blinked at the unexpected words. Seeing Ruin who had ‘chosen’ him, he showed shock… no, surprise.

Perhaps because of that, unlike the previous day, today he was quite serious. He didn’t even use torture magic.

So did they get along well?

No. Not at all.

For example, it went like this.

“Strike first to survive.”

“You have to be alive to strike.”

It was a pattern where Kalon would speak first, and Ruin would respond with a rotten expression.

“War is about numbers. Unnecessary ‘words’ are garbage.”

“The moment you force people to fit the numbers, you lose the war.”

“If they’re wrong, you need to scold them.”

“They learn by being wrong.”

“If you’re suspicious, kill them.”

“If you kill them, the information disappears too.”

“The Demon Race should just be killed.”

“Rather than killing, first examine if they can be used.”

“Start with memorization.”

“Memorization without understanding is meaningless.”

“What failed is your responsibility.”

“Allowing failure is also the leader’s responsibility.”

“Poor students are just baggage for honor students.”

“Poor students are another possibility that arrived last.”

“Useless comrades only hold you back.”

“That’s why we match our pace. Because we’re comrades.”

“….”

“….”

When the two professors glared at each other, the students chuckled.

“No, isn’t this just a verbal argument?”

“Why are they teaching together?”

“So whose words should we listen to?

They didn’t match.

So I got rid of him.

Sure enough, the students wondered why Professor Kalon wasn’t visible.

“Why hasn’t Professor Kalon been coming lately?”

“Are the joint classes over? They were really fun though….”

Ruin said while sipping his cafe latte.

“Professor Kalon suddenly complained of acute diarrhea and became unable to participate in the joint class.”

「Did you put Catalun’s magic power in the beverage again?」

‘No. This time I ground up Catalun’s claws and put them in.’

「…Now you’re just completely insane.」

But a problem arose.

“Silver Moon’s Adeline is returning to school?”

“What? Really?!”

…Right. The problem was here.

A relative of Ruins Wayne, and among them, the most troublesome blood relation was finally returning.

‘Damn. What had to come has finally come.’

Haven’s genius who was pursuing Fire Butterfly.

Still, there was hope yet.

Why?

1. She despises Ruins Wayne.

2. There’s no particular reason to talk to her.

3. She doesn’t take Healing Arts.

4. Right now she’s in a ‘joint class’ with Kalon.

Ruin leisurely took another sip of coffee.

‘Let’s leave the class to Kalon. Perfect.’

And during that free time, he would go to the Military. He just needed to stop by the prison holding the Special Grade Wanted Criminal and retrieve the box containing the Demon Emperor’s Heart.

No combat.

No encounters.

No family.

It was a perfect plan.

Right. It was… but…

-Professor Kalon, one month suspension of classes

…No, why?

“…Why? You’re the one who ground up Catalun’s Nails and fed them to him.”

Ah. Right….

* * *

“I’m changing the plan.”

Ruin silently set down his coffee cup.

“Right.”

Echo cursed profusely at his own face.

“You change plans so well, was it me who sent Kalon to his grave?”

Ruin looked at Echo as if asking what nonsense he was spouting.

Then Echo slammed the table, telling him not to play dumb.

“It was your doing! You messed with Kalon’s beverage!”

The Echo before him had lightning-struck hair that was completely fried. Obviously, he must have been hit by Kalon’s Lightning Strike.

“Of all things, you had to pull that stunt on the coffee I was serving to impress the professors?! Thanks to you, I was misunderstood as the culprit and ended up like this!”

“Ah. How regrettable.”

“Is that the face of someone who finds it regrettable?!”

“…Then ‘thank you’?”

“You damn bastard….”

Echo was about to say something, but spoke as if giving up.

“So what’s this plan change?”

“I’m going to target the treasure chest in the Military. So take over the Demon Hunting Studies classes for a while. Especially Silver Moon.”

Then Echo sneered.

“That’s fine by me, but if you’re targeting the Military’s chest, I think you’re already too late.”

“?”

Echo shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly.

“There are already rumors that the Pride spy hiding in Haven is targeting that side.”

“Spy?”

“I told you. There’s a spy hiding inside Haven.”

[Third, a spy sent by the Five Evils has infiltrated inside Haven.]

Ah. That worthless information he told me back then?

Then Ruin let out a hollow laugh, saying the information was slow.

“If it was a Five Evils spy, it would have been the Princess, but I already helped the Princess escape. There’s no spy left in Haven anymore, right?”

Then Echo smiled with a superior expression.

“The spy I told you about back then actually wasn’t the ‘Princess.'”

“!”

Not the Princess?

Ruin’s eyebrows twitched.

…So there really is a spy I don’t know about inside Haven? Deceiving my eyes?

No, more than that…

“That spy is targeting the Military’s box?”

“Yeah. And they’re targeting you.”

“Me?”

…What bastard?

A Student? A Professor? Huh?

Who dares target my severance pay?

As black aura burst out from Ruin, Echo quickly dodged while lifting his juice glass and coaster.

It’s scary when you anger the Shadow King.

“I don’t know the purpose either. But it seems like they’re targeting the Military’s treasure chest. So, what’s inside? I thought it was your military funds.”

“The Demon Emperor’s Heart.”

“Ah! I see! What did I think it was. The Demon Emperor’s Hea… Huh?”

Echo screamed.

“What did you say?!”

Ruin covered Echo’s mouth.

Echo had already heard that Haven was Ruin’s house and the treasure chest was Ruin’s personal property. He could only curse with his eyes.

“What have you been doing? If the Hero finds out about that, Pride is really doomed!”

“That’s right. That’s why I’m in a hurry too.”

At Ruin’s reaction of leisurely sipping his cafe latte despite claiming to be in a hurry, Echo looked at him as if he were crazy.

And for good reason—the Demon Emperor’s Heart had infinite applications beyond simply being able to kill the Commander.

First, it could force anyone of lower rank than the Demon Emperor to kneel. In that case, both Ruin and Echo would have no choice but to kneel. Or it was possible to swallow it and gain the Demon Emperor’s power.

“Anyway, if some unknown spy hiding in Haven is after it, we need to hurry.”

“Ugh, because of that Toad incident recently, the Military is in maximum alert right now. Even as Head Professor, you won’t be able to go in and out freely, right?”

“The Military is currently watching my every move though?”

“Even so. That’s the room where a Special Grade Wanted Criminal is being held. As if you could just waltz in like it’s your own bedroom.”

Hmm. That’s true.

But that doesn’t mean there’s no way.

* * *

“Good morning, Chairman.”

“Oh? Professor! What brings you here at this hour—”

Ruin smiled brazenly.

“The joint class last time was actually quite good. It seems our teamwork is better than I thought.”

The surprised Hero shot up from his seat.

“Really?”

The Hero’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“Then as a member of Union, no, as my real comrade—”

Ruin smiled as if he had caught his prey.

“That’s why I’m here. I was thinking of conducting a special joint class today.”

“Ooh! Excellent! Is it sparring today?!”

“No, it’s ‘Military Field Experience Learning.'”

…What?

“B-but that place is.”

Ruin’s eyes gleamed like a tiger’s.

“If you cooperate well with me… I can be very active in joint classes going forward.”

“….”

…Isn’t this a threat?
