Chapter 152. Head Professor vs Head Professor (3)

Ginseng Superior was dumbfounded, but Ruin was delighted.

‘Looking at the results, this incident turned out well too. I gained popularity with the students and got good professor evaluations, and thanks to that, anonymous donations have been coming in. Hehe.’

Right.

Currently, Ruin was at the peak of popularity among students as ‘the professor who stands with the students.’

‘With this, I’ll be first place in the upcoming professor evaluation! Then a bonus! Then my farm!’

Ruin chuckled as he thought about the bigger picture.

However, Ginseng Superior made a disgusted expression. Well, it seemed like things went according to plan, but…

「…The younger sisters won’t stay quiet about this.」

Sure enough, at that moment the students began murmuring. Outside the door was a Silver Moon student glaring at Ruin with blazing eyes.

As Ruin headed toward the door, an angry voice rang out.

“What do you mean ‘don’t worry about adult matters,’ you idiot!”

“…Adel.”

Ruin looked at her as if he was amazed.

“Class is in session. Go.”

“Do I look like I care!”

Adeline swallowed hard with her face flushed red with anger. She looked around and whispered to Ruin.

“You’re about to lose your lordship rights, you bastard! Don’t you know you’ve received an imperial command?! If you stupidly let this slide quietly, the Wayne Family will really be finished!”

“I told you. It’s adult business, so don’t worry about it.”

“You right now… Do I look like a student to you?! I’m your younger sister!”

Adel clenched her fists tightly. The students looked at Ruin with pity, saying she was right.

“Class isn’t the problem, Professor!”

“That’s right. This isn’t an ordinary matter!”

However, Ruin remained calm as ever.

Adel’s eyes flashed at that look.

“…Don’t tell me, you were a spy with the purpose of destroying the Wayne Family?”

Hmm. Half correct.

And that wouldn’t be bad either.

Adeline’s eyes gleamed as she didn’t miss that expression.

“…I’m using ‘Hound’s Insight’ now.”

The Wayne Family people basically possessed the power to reveal truth, that is, the talent for interrogation.

In Adeline’s case, she would attack when someone gave a wrong answer to a question. It was dangerous for a spy.

As light began to ripple in her eyes, Ruin moved one step faster. He suddenly grabbed her hand and brought it directly to his face.

Adeline was startled.

“…?!”

“Look. Does this look like a spy’s face to you?”

“Th, that’s…”

Ruin’s skin felt at her fingertips was vivid reality itself. The texture of a real living being that couldn’t be detected even with Hound’s Insight intuition. Transformation magic, disguise spells. There were no traces of any such thing.

Adeline bit her lips tightly like chewed tobacco. Moreover, this bastard was unnecessarily handsome.

“…Shit.”

She swallowed one syllable of profanity inwardly. Ruin smiled lightly.

“If I were a spy, I wouldn’t show my face so openly like this. It would interfere with the next mission.”

「…It’s just because this mission is the last one. You’re not thinking about what comes after…」

He didn’t even respond to Ginseng Superior’s voice.

Instead, Ruin recalled the past. He too had once been a lowly babbling shadow.

But the day he became the Shadow King, when he walked out from the bottom of the deep lake, he found himself gradually taking human form. It could be seen as evolution from a common creature. That was his current appearance.

So Adeline, who had been pondering with a groan, broke the silence.

“Then you, is it because you’re a White Mage?”

“…?”

Ruin’s expression stopped for a moment. However, Adeline was serious.

“You don’t care whether the family falls or not? The White Mage’s mission? If it’s something like that, you don’t care what crisis your family faces?”

Ruin found her words quite unexpected.

‘…So she misunderstood me as a White Mage.’

A legendary being who was ‘God’s tool faithful to his mission.’

Goldsky, who was eavesdropping, listened to the story with interest as if that was exactly it.

‘That’s right. The White Mage’s mission is important! Don’t interfere!’

However, soon Ruin’s expressionless words fell.

“…Don’t worry.”

His voice was strangely calm.

“I won’t let you starve to death.”

“…”

“When the family falls, we’ll just… all go to the Holy Empire together as a family. We’ll live there doing missionary work or something.”

“Wh… What did you say?!”

At that moment, Goldsky’s face froze as he watched this conversation from the side. With his eyes wide open, he staggered backward.

“…Professor is going to the Holy Empire…?!”

His face turned pale as he frantically ran off somewhere.

Ruin watched Goldsky like that. As if all this chaos had been planned.

* * *

The professors were in a difficult position.

“Political retaliation has been taken against the Wayne Family?”

“Even an imperial decree?”

The imperial authority is immense.

Of course, the Wayne Family hadn’t had an official Family Head until now. So the pretext was that since he became the official Family Head, he should focus on territorial affairs instead of professorial duties, but strictly speaking, this was persecution.

The Hero was most enraged by this matter.

“The dismissal authority lies with the Academy, so it’s quite annoying for the Emperor to interfere.”

The Hero has a very bad relationship with the Emperor.

“Still, I could hire him as my personal aide then, so it actually worked out well-“

“I heard that if Professor Wayne retires this time, he’ll be leaving for the Holy Empire…?”

“?!”

The Hero looked at the professors as if asking what they were talking about. The professors looked at the Hero as if he were pathetic.

“The students definitely heard such talk. That if the Wayne Family is persecuted, he’ll leave for the Holy Empire.”

“???”

“Didn’t you know? That’s why the students are in chaos right now.”

The Hero was bewildered.

“Charlotte!”

“…It’s impossible. No one can defy an imperial decree.”

“Ugh. There must be a way…!”

But that’s when it happened.

“Gold Gate is in chaos right now!”

Gold Gate?

The Principal frowned. They weren’t children who would be swayed by rumors. No, because they weren’t children who would be swayed, it was an even more frightening atmosphere.

Soon someone came running down the corridor. The door opened, and neat boys and girls entered one by one.

The Gold Gate student representatives. Uniforms with neat gold buttons, straight steps, cold expressions. They were typical ‘prestigious noble children.’

The student representative bowed deeply.

“We, the entire student body of Gold Gate Dormitory, formally submit a protest letter to the Imperial Palace.”

“…A protest letter?”

“As those who belong to Haven, we cannot contain our anger at the fact that political pressure has been applied to a professor who should receive fair evaluation and treatment.”

The other students also bowed and shouted in unison.

“We request the withdrawal of the imperial decree regarding Professor Ruins Wayne’s dismissal!”

Charlotte shot up from her seat.

“What are you doing right now-“

But one student took out a letter with a wax seal.

“This is a letter of support from the Wales Family.”

“Here’s one from the Breeze Family.”

“The Isles Family has already signed too.”

“And the Kedenborough Family as well-“

The professors’ eyes widened. More than half of the eight great noble families that support the Union had participated in this.

A short breath escaped Charlotte’s lips.

“…This is pressure against the Imperial Palace.”

The representative raised his head.

“Even if an imperial decree is issued, we will question whether that judgment was justified. This is reflection and protest as citizens of the Empire regarding a political decision.”

At those words, the Hero smiled slightly. But his expression hardened at the words that immediately followed.

“And if the Professor is dismissed, we will consider withdrawing from the Academy as a group.”

“…?!”

Gold Gate would go this far?

A few Red Gate Dormitory students who had followed late witnessed this scene from beyond the corridor and froze.

The Red Gate students prided themselves on being a merit-based dormitory, but they were acutely aware that there was something more frightening than that merit.

Namely, political power.

The weight of nobility.

And their ‘parent privilege.’

“…Damn it!”

The Red Gate students were frozen for a moment, but soon someone gritted their teeth and spoke. It was Anna Hunt.

“…We’re submitting one too, a protest letter!”

“Do you think we’ll lose to Gold Gate!”

If Gold Gate consisted of golden spoon nobles, Red Gate was made up of high-ranking military officers and knight families. There was a subtle competitive spirit.

Moreover, hadn’t there been rumors that the Princes were also moving? Judith had secretly supported the students. And it was also true that they had survived the recent terrorist attack thanks to Ruins.

“Move!”

Meanwhile, the Blue Moon students who heard this news pouted their lips.

“…I’m jealous.”

“Our family house isn’t that great, so we can’t even step forward…”

On the other hand, there was one dormitory that everyone thought would turn away from this situation. Silver Moon.

Silver Moon, which was quieter than anyone else, more cynical than anyone else, and had been disapproving of Professor Wayne, was naturally expected to stay out of it. After all, wasn’t Ruins Wayne the very person who had driven out their dormitory supervisor?

But then.

“…Silver Moon joined too.”

“…What?!”

All the students were shocked for a moment.

“Didn’t they definitely dislike Professor Wayne? More than that, they’re not interested in any professor.”

“I thought so too… but suddenly they issued a statement saying ‘absolutely against professor replacement.'”

“Are they crazy? Why?”

“The reason is kind of absurd…”

One student whispered quietly.

“I heard that ever since the Silver Moon Supervisor changed to Professor Ruins, the dormitory roll call has been a 3-second cut.”

“What? Roll call ends in 3 seconds?”

“Yeah. One sentence from the first floor: ‘Is everyone alive?'”

“That’s it?”

“Yep. ‘As long as you’re not dead, it’s fine.'”

“…That’s totally our style.”

“According to the lazy Silver Moon students, ‘This is the first supervisor like this, so he can’t be changed,’ so that’s why they submitted the protest.”

…I’m jealous.
