Chapter 151. Head Professor vs Head Professor (2)

Heizen was dumbfounded.

He had kept pressing the Hero, but the Hero was gradually going insane.

“Ah, Professor Ruins. As expected of someone capable. Really, this makes me so moved I get excited.”

“Do you intend to break your promise with His Majesty the Emperor!”

“Huh? My promise was only to keep it hidden for you. Anything beyond that, you’ll have to handle yourself, right?”

“Then at the very least, you should correct the rumors and say they’re wrong!”

“What rumors? The rumors that Professor Ruins risked his life for me?”

“….”

Not wanting to deal with a psycho, he stormed out.

‘The Chairman never liked me in the first place.’

Putting him in the Head Professor position wasn’t the Chairman’s decision either, but merely a political appointment based on the Board of Directors’ recommendation. And he was only watching because of the Emperor.

He showed respect on the surface, but inside he was always ready to pull him down.

‘Even after bringing up the Emperor’s name, all he said was to try asking the professors.’

It was disheartening.

However, he did gain one clue.

‘At least the Chairman will put some pressure on the professors.’

Right. That much was enough.

So he ended up going to find Kalon.

The reason he chose Kalon was because Kalon currently had the most factions among the professors at this academy. They had been close originally too.

That made sense, since he was from the Gloucester family and had been a long-standing political ally in trading relationships.

‘Kalon will have no choice but to help me with this matter.’

In front of the main gate, Heizen caught his breath and opened the door without even knocking.

Kalon coldly stared at the door.

“Who dares to enter without knocking-“

Heizen smiled bitterly and slowly removed his mask. Hidden beneath the Blackmoon Dormitory Supervisor’s face, the familiar appearance of former Head Professor Heizen was revealed.

“It’s been a while, Professor Kalon. I need to get some cooperation from you.”

Kalon stopped organizing his documents and looked at the shadow standing in front of the door.

“…Heizen?”

His face showed surprise.

“I expected it, but I didn’t think you’d still actually be at Haven. I thought you’d been expelled.”

“Sorry about that. There were some circumstances.”

“Are you going to package running away as ‘circumstances’?”

Kalon didn’t hide his cynicism, but Heizen didn’t back down.

“It wasn’t running away, it was a retreat. Anyway, what’s important now is… how to deal with that troublemaker Ruins Wayne.”

“Deal with?”

“So what I’m saying is. You also suffered because of that guy, didn’t you? I thought we could join hands this time….”

Right, Kalon also hates Ruins.

“Let’s kick out Ruins Wayne togeth-“

“So, did you poison me?”

“What?”

“I’m asking if you poisoned me.”

“What?”

Kalon looked at Heizen as if he was pissed off.

“They said the coffee beans in the Head Professor’s office contained poison.”

Heizen’s eyebrows twitched.

“I wasn’t targeting you. That was aimed at Ruins Wayne!”

“…You were seriously targeting that guy?”

“Yes. That bastard is shaking up the academy. He’s dangerous!”

At those words, Kalon’s face hardened, then he spoke quietly.

“Heizen.”

“…?”

“Right now, Ruins Wayne is far more useful to the academy than you are.”

“…What?”

Heizen doubted his own ears.

“…Don’t joke around. That bastard is!”

“There’s no negotiation. Go back.”

The door closed, and cold wind struck his face.

Late afternoon.

Sitting on the sofa sipping coffee was Charlie Whiskey, the Self-Defense Professor and Red Moon Dormitory Supervisor.

In front of him sat Heizen with serious eyes, resting his chin on his hand.

“It’s been a while, Charlie.”

“Ugh, is it just my imagination that I’m getting strangely chilly vibes seeing your face after so long?”

“…Don’t joke around. This time it’s serious business.”

Charlie raised an eyebrow once.

A serious conversation?

“What kind of story is it?”

“Ruins Wayne.”

Just hearing the name made Charlie’s expression harden, and he slowly pressed his abdomen.

“Aah! Suddenly, my stomach is starting to hurt…”

“What?”

“This happens when I eat only spicy food. Oh my, my stomach suddenly…”

“Are you going to avoid this too?”

“No, it’s not avoidance… I have Combat Department classes, and I need to look after the children’s condition…”

Charlie jumped up and turned around hurriedly as he spoke.

“Politics is also a skill for professors. Well then, I’ll be going.”

He disappeared quickly.

Heizen forced a smile at the corners of his mouth and headed to the next professor.

And a few hours later.

Magic Department, Information Department, Combat Department…

Heizen secretly contacted the professors he had commanded when he was Head Professor. Their reactions were surprisingly unanimous.

Magic Department professors.

“Ruins Wayne? Ugh! Don’t even mention it!”

Information Department professors.

“Wait, we haven’t had any official business exchanges with that professor yet. And we don’t plan to in the future either.”

That wasn’t all. He went to find all the other professors too.

But.

“Why does it have to be Ruins Wayne! I don’t want to!”

Finally, Heizen stopped in the middle of the corridor.

Those who once followed him, those who shared drinks with him in private settings. But they only needed to hear the name ‘Ruins’ and… they would grimace and back away.

“…Why is everyone!”

So when he told the Chairman that the professors were defying the Chairman’s words, do you know what the Chairman said?

“Well, I said it was a ‘request.’ The rest is up to the professors’ discretion. Is there really a need to comply?”

“!”

At that moment, the campus magic newspaper on the wall showed Ruin’s face.

-A true professor who cares for students!

Heizen was dumbfounded.

“…Has everyone gone crazy except me now?”

In the end, though it hurt his pride, his opponent was already decided.

“It’s been a while, Professor Heizen. Or should I call you… Blackmoon Dormitory Supervisor now?”

“Your Highness… This kind of mockery is…”

“Mockery? I am who I am today thanks to Master.”

The First Prince lifted his teacup and smiled. However, that smile was frighteningly thin.

“So… what brings you here?”

“As Your Highness knows, that person called Ruins Wayne is… shaking up the academy. I don’t get along with him. The Imperial Palace must be uncomfortable too. If Your Highness could… suppress him for a moment.”

The First Prince tilted his head slightly.

“Suppress him for a moment… Are you commanding me?”

“That’s not it, it’s a request. Your Highness was my top disciple. How much I…”

“I was a disciple. Past tense.”

At those words, Heizen’s expression hardened.

“…Don’t tell me.”

Heizen finally realized what he had heard. The Prince’s smile was sharper than a blade and colder than ice.

“That’s right. Ruins Wayne. I’m quite impressed with his classes.”

Heizen stood up as if pushing his chair away. He couldn’t listen anymore.

The First Prince gladly saw him off.

“Oh, and be careful on your way back. According to rumors… Karin is very angry right now. If a professor gets hurt by a student, hmm. That would be too scary.”

Heizen finally gritted his teeth and left the Imperial Parlor.

But the real humiliation came next.

Ding.

A notification sound rang from Frix.

What Heizen saw was the First Prince’s crocodile Frix. He could see him writing magic letters in the air.

[Professor Ruins, I just chased away the old Head Professor… I did well, right? (❁´◡`❁)]

[Are you available to teach today? You’re ten times better than Professor Heizen!]

…Why are you sending that now!

The veins in Heizen’s forehead looked like they were about to burst.

“…This crazy bastard really!”

To think the day would come when he’d be so thoroughly nailed to his coffin by a disciple he raised himself.

Heizen suppressed the urge to destroy the First Prince’s Frix and muttered to himself.

‘Fine… Then there’s really only one method left now.’

No matter how much he bowed his head, no matter how much he shook the Chairman, he couldn’t put a single scratch on the name Ruins Wayne.

So he chose it. The path to cover that name with the Emperor’s decree. Thus, he finally obtained a weapon that could restrain Ruins.

“Prepare an imperial decree. Temporarily suspend the Wayne Family’s access and speaking rights. Anyone who violates this will be expelled from Haven.”

The news spread like lightning.

“The Emperor has directly imposed sanctions on the Wayne House!”

Some faculty remained silent, while others rejoiced.

However, those most shocked were the students. When Ruin entered the classroom, the students all stood up in unison.

“Professor!”

“…?”

One student bit their lip and raised their hand.

“Professor… Because of us, His Majesty the Emperor issued an imperial decree… we heard.”

“That the Wayne House came under oppression.”

The students’ faces were twisted with guilt and anger. However, Ruin quietly tapped the podium with his pen.

“A student’s job is to study. Don’t worry about adult matters.”

At those words, the students fell silent.

“Didn’t I promise from the beginning? That I would get revenge for you. So this much is nothing.”

A moment of silence.

But in that moment, something dropped into the students’ hearts with a thud. Remorse, trust, and overwhelming emotion.

‘We’ve been misunderstanding the Professor all this time.’

‘As expected… a professor who cares for his students!’

Ginseng Superior was in a panic.

「You talk well, but… even the Emperor has stepped in. Is this okay?」

But at that moment, the corners of Ruin’s mouth curved up smoothly.

‘Actually, that’s why I deliberately induced this situation.’

「What?」

Ruin smiled while crossing his arms.

‘The Eight Great Families Council meeting is coming up soon. But I didn’t want to go.’

「Hey, you bastard…」
