Chapter 150. Head Professor vs Head Professor (1)

“Now, with that meaning, eat everything.”

Ruin pointed at the gifts.

On the desk, as always, various gift packages with tags reading ‘To Head Professor♥’ were placed.

Chocolates, fruits, pies, homemade cookies, and even aphrodisiacs containing unidentifiable liquids.

At the sight of him suddenly making Princess do poison testing, Ginseng Superior, who was being punished by having his house (flower pot) placed in the shade, spoke up.

「…Does it make sense to use Princess for poison testing?」

‘Yes. Theoretically, since Princess is Hunger’s daughter, she won’t die no matter what she eats.’

…A personality that even uses Princess as a shield.

「…Rather, shouldn’t you ask why she came to Haven first?」

Ah. That’s true too.

Ruin glanced outside the door, confirming Lily’s shadow that was faintly visible. So he tapped his fountain pen twice on the desk.

Then Princess perked up her ears. That meant they were about to start a spy conversation.

“A flower gift. It’s been a while. Flowers that bloom in this season must be rare.(Why did you come all the way here?)”

Princess immediately responded.

“That’s why it’s a gift that stands out more. Our gardener confidently recommended it.(I came under orders from the higher command.)”

Ruin nodded and turned over the documents.

“I also have a garden, but unwanted bugs keep coming in, which is troublesome.(This is my operation sector, why did you enter without permission?)”

Princess smiled calmly.

“Shall I help you catch the bugs? I have some know-how that our gardener taught me.(I came to help you.)”

Only then did Ruin realize why Princess had entered Haven again.

Sasha- or rather, the Upper Echelon must have sent her.

‘Is the purpose the Demon Emperor’s Heart?’

But what should I do…?

One of those hearts… some Little Kid devoured it, and I ate the demonic energy that was coming out.

Ha. Still, it was difficult to move alone. Should I be grateful that a useful assistant other than Echo has appeared?

That’s why he said it.

“That’s fine. Garden management is one of my few pleasures, so just giving advice is enough. (I’ll control the speed and scope of the operation.)”

The Princess bowed her head very briefly.

“Understood.”

That’s when it happened.

“Professor, I brought snacks. Shall I prepare them for you?”

Lily came in with a bright smile but stopped short.

The first thing that caught her eye was Zera calmly pouring black tea into Ruin’s teacup.

“…What’s that?”

“I’m preparing dessert.”

Lily’s eye smile disappeared.

“…Oh, but I brought dessert.”

“Hey, there was a risk of poisoning, so how can we trust that?”

“But you trust food brought by the new Teaching Assistant?”

“The existing Teaching Assistant could be the culprit.”

Lily smiled as if she was pissed off.

“Who has been coordinating the Professor’s schedule and preparing class textbooks all this time?”

“Schedules are important, but the Professor’s life is more important.”

Lily took a step forward.

“You there, how many days have you been a Teaching Assistant?”

“Even if our time together has been short, my loyalty runs the deepest.”

“Are you seriously trying to interfere with my relationship with the Professor right now?”

“Looking at this now, it seems like you’re mistaken thinking you have a relationship all by yourself.”

The atmosphere turned cold. Even the air in the Professor’s Office that had been gently rippling became stiff.

The two Teaching Assistants smiled as they looked at Ruin.

“Professor, which Teaching Assistant do you prefer more?”

Ruin pressed his temple with one hand.

“…Someone to grade more note tests.”

In an instant.

Whoosh!

Bang!

The two people almost simultaneously snatched up the documents and rushed out like the wind.

Ruin elegantly wiped his mouth.

‘How convenient.’

Well, wasn’t that what mattered.

The shadows chattered beside him. They were the shadows he had placed on Black Moon.

They babbled as if competing to be first to tattle.

[The Professor used curse magic on Master!]

[He beat up students and cursed at Master!]

Hmm. So that’s how it is.

That was annoying too, but what really pissed Ruin off wasn’t that.

-Don’t interfere with me.

Interfere?

Who’s the one interfering right now.

As proof of this, Ruin looked at Noah. He had been continuing the Severance Pay Summoning, but it was currently stopped.

The reason was simple.

“Urgh. Heizen is using his control ability to prevent me from using my power…!”

Hmm, so he’s going to interfere like this.

‘He shows no sign of repentance.’

Then I’ll have to put an end to this.

And I’ll have to take back everything Heizen has been enjoying until now.

That morning, Haven was in an uproar.

“Professor Ruins, have you seen this?! It’s a wall poster stuck on the dormitory bulletin board!”

A single sheet of paper thrust forward with panting breath. Though stained with fingerprints and crumpled at the edges, the text was crystal clear.

-One year ago, the human who abandoned you during practicum and fled is still remaining as a professor.

-He’s gripping Black Moon while hiding his identity.

Ruin looked down at the paper and narrowed his eyes.

Dozens of wall posters printed in red letters had covered the school overnight.

-One year ago, you abandoned us. We still remember.

-Those who remain on students’ blood have no qualifications.

-The professors who covered this up should step down too!

Some were furious, others were sobbing.

“Magic became a trauma for us after that day… But that person… that person is still above us?”

Several students stood holding picket signs. With clenched fists, they guarded the front of Black Gate Dormitory.

When morning came, all of Haven was in turmoil. Classes weren’t conducted at all. Professors patrolling the lecture building began tearing down the conspicuous wall posters one by one.

Then a scuffle broke out in the middle of the corridor. When a student tried to tape a torn wall poster back together and stick it on the wall again, a professor shouted.

“Hey! You there, what do you think you’re doing!”

The moment the professor’s hand was about to roughly push the student’s shoulder—

Thud.

Something blocked the professor’s hand.

“Ugh…!”

A solid resistance. Where the professor looked up, there was a black coat’s hem and a heavily extended hand.

“Don’t lay a hand on them.”

“R-Ruins Professor!”

Instantly, the entire corridor fell silent.

Ruin gently pushed the student back protectively, took the torn wall poster pieces in his hand, and quietly stuck them back on the wall.

At that sight, the students’ gazes changed one by one. At the same time, someone shouted as if flustered.

“H-Head Professor! What are you doing!”

“The students aren’t studying and are just going around protesting!”

At those words, Ruin replied in a cold voice.

“Teaching is the responsibility of the instructor. Raising one’s voice against injustice is precisely the right that students should have.”

“…What did you say?”

“These children didn’t run away. Not that day, and not now.”

The other professors fell silent.

In the strange silence, Ginseng Superior at Ruin’s side muttered quietly.

「But… you put up all these wall posters yourself.」

Then Ruin calmly replied.

‘That’s exactly why you shouldn’t tear them down.’

The students applauded. Some recorded the scene with magic. Before long, students naturally gathered around Ruin in a circle-

And no one brought up the topic of ‘classes.’

From that day forward, Ruin officially began to be called ‘the professor who sides with students.’

* * *

Finally, what was bound to explode had exploded.

“Blackmoon Dormitory Supervisor, come out!”

“Come out and explain yourself!”

What had initially been at the stage of suspicion was confirmed as fact, and the students’ protests spread like wildfire.

Because of this, Heizen, who couldn’t even go outside, was flabbergasted.

Ruins Wayne.

-I want to raise him myself?

Is this really worth fellow professors going this far over just one student!

“How dare…!”

The cracked teacup exploded. Noble-style furniture was thrown to the floor one by one.

He ground his teeth as if feeling humiliated.

The place he headed to was the Chairman’s Office.

Slam!

The Chairman’s Office door burst open violently.

“Chairman. We need to talk.”

The Hero, no, the Chairman who was sitting at his desk looked up with a bright smile.

“What’s the matter, Professor Heizen who’s been hiding?”

“You haven’t forgotten your promise to protect me, have you.”

Heizen quietly placed a document on the desk. It was sealed internal confidential documents. Even the Imperial Seal was stamped on it.

“Hiding me in Black Moon must have been a contingency plan to prevent this situation. Are you just going to leave all this chaos with wall posters and protests?”

The Hero smiled quietly.

“Protests are the students’ freedom of expression. There’s no reason to stop them.”

At those words, Heizen’s eyebrows twitched.

“The one who put up the wall poster was Ruins Wayne.”

A moment of silence. The Hero’s eyes widened.

“…Professor Ruins did…?!”

“Yes. I’m certain. The handwriting on the threatening letter matches the wall poster, and the threatening letter had the Chief Professor’s seal stamped on it.”

“…!”

Heizen thought he had gained the upper hand from the Hero’s surprised reaction.

“It seems you didn’t tell him directly, so there must have been a security problem. Please manage your professors properly.”

Yes, now the Chairman will also move…

“I see… Professor Ruins… not even fearing the Emperor, trying to purify the rotten parts of this school…”

“…What?”

The Hero covered his mouth.

“Could it be Professor Ruins… all of this… is a grand plan for my sake…?”

“Listen to what I’m saying.”

“Ah. Professor Ruins. If you do this, I’ll fall for you.”

Heizen was at a loss for words.

The Hero clutched his chest and looked out the window with a somehow moved expression. As if he was looking at a hero sent down from the Sky.

“As expected of my Head Professor… as expected of Ruins Wayne!”

“…”

…Wait, it seems like the Hero has become quite strange while I wasn’t looking?
