Chapter 153. Head Professor vs Head Professor (4)

Heizen, summoned to the Imperial Palace, couldn’t lift his head.

“That I had to personally step forward over such a trivial matter… I find it incomprehensible.”

“…Your Majesty.”

Petition letters from nobles were piled high.

“Do you know how many families have already stepped forward to defend the Wayne House because of that one man? Did you make me issue an imperial decree for this?”

“!”

The identity of those petitions were items sent by Gold Gate parents.

“Even Kedenborough. Those who maintained political neutrality have expressed interest in this matter. Do you understand… how significant that is?”

On top of that, there were letters from the previously obedient princes and the Imperial Princess.

Heizen bit his lips. No matter how strong his ‘Mind Control’ ability was, the Emperor was also a ‘Hero’. Before the Emperor’s unique ability, even Heizen had no way to cope.

“…It’s merely temporary unrest, Your Majesty. You could ignore it-“

“So, what about the youngest child’s education? Is the ability development finished?”

“…It’s in progress.”

“In progress?”

He was currently tolerating Heizen because of the youngest, and it’s still in progress?

“The child has many wounds and doesn’t open up easily, and befitting Your Majesty’s noble bloodline, the ability is very strong. For proper adjustment, time is needed…”

Is he joking right now?

Of course, the imperial authority wouldn’t crumble over such a trivial matter, but it was true that his mood was sour. The noble faction seemed to think they would also be oppressed starting with the Wayne House.

So Heizen was also flustered.

‘…Damn it. How did things turn out like this.’

If only Gold Gate hadn’t moved!

At this point, wasn’t their influence stronger than even the noble military academy!

‘At this rate, returning as Head Professor will be difficult.’

What kind of position was the Head Professor seat at Haven.

‘Still, the Emperor wants the bastard’s power. As long as I have that child, it’ll be fine.’

But as Heizen was leaving, he heard the Emperor’s secretary whispering.

“A professor who receives this much support from noble parents, it actually makes me curious.”

“Hmm.”

“Rather, how about entrusting the successor to Professor Wayne?”

“That would be fine too.”

Crack!

“…!”

The Emperor had begun to take interest in Ruin.

* * *

The imperial decree was withdrawn. In other words, the surveillance and control orders issued to Ruins Wayne were revoked.

This news swept through the Academy in an instant. The students were bewildered.

“Really? Well, honestly, parent power is scary.”

“Yeah. But Professor Wayne said that while he’s grateful for the support, since an imperial decree was still an imperial decree, he won’t attend this noble assembly.”

“My goodness, to think he was sincere even toward the Imperial Palace, what a loyal subject…!”

“His Majesty seemed surprised too.”

But there were other figures who moved first upon hearing this news. No, to be precise, there were two.

They were the First Prince and the 2nd Prince.

At the same time, for the same reason, they came face to face in front of Ruin’s Research Lab door.

“…”

Silence.

The two glared at each other wordlessly. They were already fighting with their eyes.

The First Prince spoke first, twisting the corner of his mouth.

“Huh. What a coincidence. Don’t tell me you also came to congratulate Professor Ruins like me?”

The 2nd Prince frowned.

“Don’t think it’s thanks to you. His Majesty withdrew the surveillance because of the petition I submitted.”

“Haha. Are you serious? You believe Father would have listened to your petition?”

“Then, do you think he’d listen to your words?”

“Of course. I personally advised him. I said that oppressing Professor Ruins would be a national loss.”

The 2nd Prince’s eyes flashed.

The First Prince smiled.

“If you’re a regressor, act like one and go search for treasures. I don’t know why you’ve taken interest in Professor Ruins.”

“!”

At that reaction, the First Prince smiled subtly and tilted his head.

“Why? Surprised that I know you’re a regressor?”

Before those words could even finish, the 2nd Prince’s hand shot out like lightning.

Grab!

He seized the First Prince’s collar.

“This bastard…!”

So he knew I was a regressor and deliberately copied me!

The 2nd Prince’s eyes narrowed dangerously. At this, the 1st Prince snorted as if it were absurd.

“Now you’re even grabbing your brother by the collar. Amazing, really.”

“This confirms it. You… you really were copying me.”

At the same time, the 2nd Prince was puzzled.

‘How did he figure out that I’m a regressor?’

After all, the moment he regressed, everything returned to the beginning. The 2nd Prince had never revealed that he was a regressor. Yet this 1st Prince bastard had been copying him even before he started taking action.

Then the 1st Prince unexpectedly chuckled.

“It’s quite troublesome, you see. Every time you regress, the world ends.”

“?”

“My teacher dies in every world too.”

What does that mean….

“Perfect memory.”

“?”

“If you could remember just one thing after regression… what information would be best to keep in memory? Right, I just need to remember that you’re a regressor.”

Ryle’s face hardened.

In an instant, all the mysteries up until now were solved, while new questions arose and made his heart drop.

“How is that possible-“

The 1st Prince let out a hollow laugh.

Right, he had memories from his previous life.

But only two things came to mind.

One was that Ryle was a regressor. The other was that there had been a precious teacher.

But he couldn’t remember that teacher’s face at all. He remembered their actions but not their face at all.

“Enough, so die, you bastard!”

“!”

It was right when the 1st Prince and 2nd Prince were about to draw their swords against each other.

Bang!

The research lab door swung wide open, and Ruin came out. As if annoyed by the fighting sounds, he simultaneously grabbed both of their heads.

And then-

Crack!

A mutual headbutt.

The two princes, whose foreheads collided, each staggered back a step. Ruin looked down at them both coldly.

“Take your brotherly fights elsewhere. Don’t you know you should be quiet in front of the research lab?”

The 1st Prince and 2nd Prince, holding their foreheads, simultaneously looked at Ruin as if it were absurd.

“And don’t be mistaken. His Majesty the Emperor withdrew his order not because of your advice, but because of the students.”

“…The students?”

What do you mean, we were the ones who gave advice?

At that reaction, Ruin made a disgusted expression.

“What you two did was just filial greeting letters, and I became free thanks to all the students.”

Ah, greeting letters?! Both of them had sent those prepared to die by the Emperor’s hand…!

However, when Ruin ignored them and turned around, both were startled.

“Where are you going…!”

“Don’t tell me with that bastard prince again…?”

They simultaneously began racking their brains for ways to make Ruin their ally. Just as both were flashing their eyes and trying to follow Ruin-

Ruin clicked and manipulated the pocket watch he got from Rose.

At that sight, the 1st Prince and 2nd Prince simultaneously felt different senses of déjà vu. For the 1st Prince it was longing, for the 2nd Prince it was hatred.

* * *

Near Black Moon Dormitory, at the training ground.

Quite a few students had gathered at the training ground. And at the center was a particularly conspicuous student.

“You bastard’s son. I’ll kill you!”

It was Karin Winberg.

A magic wand was gripped in her trembling hands. The magic circle extending from its tip was already in an activated state just before firing a magic bullet.

On the opposite side stood Heizen with both hands raised, his magic wand rolling on the ground after being dropped at some point.

The students held their breath. Anyone could see that the Imperial Princess was intent on killing the Former Senior Professor right now.

Toward her, Heizen smiled with an eerily calm demeanor.

“…It’s been a while, Your Imperial Highness.”

His voice was low and polite, but strangely mixed with sarcasm.

“You seem quite angry.”

Veins bulged on the Imperial Princess’s forehead.

“…You seem quite angry?”

The magic circle split with sharper light and began to crack.

“Do you know how many students died because of you?!”

It wasn’t for nothing that his name was treated like a taboo, and all the students hated him.

Her magic bullet was aimed precisely at Heizen’s heart. However, Heizen didn’t move even a single step.

“Those children were indeed my oversight, but I didn’t kill them.”

The Imperial Princess shouted with eyes that had lost all reason.

“Shut up! You’re the one who sent those children to the danger zone!”

At the same time, the magic circle wavered.

Heizen slightly twisted the corner of his mouth, as if he had been waiting for that very scene.

“…You still haven’t fixed that habit of yours.”

At the same time as those words—

Snap.

Heizen quickly pulled the magic wand that had fallen to the ground. The bouncing magic wand was caught precisely in his hand.

At the same time, a magic bullet shot out. The target was clear.

Princess Karin.

“?!”

Karin’s eyes widened. It was too late to even deploy a barrier.

However.

Bang!

A familiar shadow fell before the Imperial Princess’s eyes.

“…!”

It was Ruin.

He instinctively pulled the Imperial Princess toward him while extending his magic wand.

Crash!

The magic bullet that collided with Flame Kill struck the pillar beside them, creating stone debris.

“….”

A moment of silence.

Ruin’s eyes had turned cold. He was in a state of rage. His jaw line with bulging veins said it all.

Karin looked at Ruin with surprise. Could it be that he saved her? Was he getting angry on her behalf because he thought she was in danger?

But Ruin’s following words were unexpected.

“If Your Highness dies, your father will come looking for me. Are you going to trouble me that much?”

…That’s the problem?
