Chapter 157. I Received a Request (1)

“Well then, you’ll have to tell us about what happened that day a year ago.”

Isolation Room.

At the Hero’s question delivered along with the professors’ glares, Heizen shouted as if dumbfounded.

“You want me to tell you again what I already testified about a year ago?”

“Ah, well that’s true. But there’s someone who’s particularly curious.”

“What bastard-“

“That would be me.”

“!”

Heizen gritted his teeth at the figure entering leisurely.

‘Ruins Wayne…!’

“I’d like to test your power. You must have used your ‘Control’ ability on the students to face enemies back then too, right? Since you can draw out and use potential that students alone couldn’t bring forth.”

Simply put, if a student couldn’t score a goal, he could directly control their body to enable shooting.

If a student with Level 5 ability only used Level 2, Heizen would control them to draw out the full 5.

Well, even though it was called control, it was done while conscious and made them experience it, so it was a decent training method from that perspective.

But.

“I need to know how strong that power is to accurately grasp the strength of the Special Grade Wanted Criminal who harmed the students. Would you let me experience it too?”

That’s right. Ruin had come to steal the Control Ability under the pretext of catching the Special Grade Wanted Criminal.

And he planned to use it directly on Noah to shake down every bit of severance pay.

‘Combined with my ‘Triple Ability,’ I could unleash even greater power.’

Right, I could shake down all the severance pay in one go!

But he couldn’t say that, so.

“I’m thinking of catching the Special Grade Wanted Criminal you missed. That’s also the Chairman’s long-cherished wish.”

At that statement, the Hero’s heart seemed to thump as he clutched his chest, and the Principal sent a look that said ‘As expected of Ruins.’

But Heizen burst into scornful laughter.

This guy was going to catch the Special Grade Wanted Criminal that even he couldn’t catch?

“Fine. If you want it so badly, go ahead and experience it directly!”

His eyes flashed as if piercing through Ruin, and at that moment an invisible wave spread out.

Instantly, Ruin’s body became unnaturally heavy. The Control Magic had activated.

Of course, it wasn’t ordinary control.

“Kill yourself!”

Instantly, Ruin raised his Magic Wand and aimed it at his own temple. And finally, explosive flames burst from the tip of the Magic Wand!

“No!”

The Hero, who had turned pale, urgently tried to rush forward to snatch away the Magic Wand, but-

Flash!

With a snap, he twisted his hand and a baptism of flames shot out from the Magic Wand’s tip, attacking the Hero.

“Ah, ahhh! Hot!”

The Hero ran around with his back on fire.

Ruin looked at the surprised Heizen and flashed his eyes.

“Oh my~ attempted murder of the Hero is included too.”

…Didn’t you just attack him yourself?

Charlie sent him such a look, but Ruin smiled coldly.

“How dare you target the Commander of the Union, you must be punished.”

As Ruin’s Magic Wand pointed toward Heizen, Heizen urgently flashed his eyes. He tried to control Ruin’s arm to target another professor, but-

Bang!

“Kyaaaah!”

It was already too late. Heizen was hit in the stomach by a flame bullet and collapsed.

Ruin looked at Heizen nonchalantly. Then without batting an eye, he brushed off his collar.

“It was nothing special.”

Silence flowed.

Even the other professors were quite flustered. After all, there was a reason Heizen had been Head Professor.

But it had no effect whatsoever?

“…Impossible.”

Heizen coughed up blood and gritted his teeth.

“It definitely brought down even Special Grade Demons…!”

But Ruin was rather pleased.

‘I’m glad I let the Misfortune flow away when I fed him the Truth Serum.’

The sensation faintly felt from his wrist now.

It was certain.

‘It’s been Kept. I’ve obtained the Control Ability.’

But he was also puzzled.

When he fed Heizen the truth serum, he had sent along weak misfortune, so he knew the ability wouldn’t work properly, but he still expected some degree of control to take effect.

That’s why he had actually been somewhat nervous.

But it didn’t work at all. Why on earth?

‘Could it really be related to Ruins Wayne having the ‘Doll Control’ ability?’

Soon Heizen gritted his teeth.

Then he exchanged glances with the Assassination Studies Professor. A moment later, the Assassination Studies Professor nodded.

* * *

Ruin was heading toward the Head Professor’s office with light steps.

‘Now that I’ve gained the control ability, shall I try controlling Noah?’

He would thoroughly drain the severance pay all night long.

But at that moment.

Swoosh!

A thin, sharp dagger came flying through the darkness. The dagger that grazed past Ruin’s cheek embedded itself in the wall, vibrating with a tremor.

“…What exactly are you doing?”

Ruin narrowed his eyes and brushed the dust off his shoulder.

Then came the sound of shoes echoing in the quiet corridor. The one who slowly revealed herself was the Assassination Studies Professor.

“Sorry~ Professor, I received a request.”

“A request?”

“From Professor Heizen~”

She smiled brightly. The daggers and poison needles densely attached to her waist were all for killing. That’s why Ruin was dumbfounded.

“…Harming a fellow professor would be grounds for disciplinary action.”

At Ruin’s words, she shrugged her shoulders.

“It’s fine. As long as I don’t get caught, and right now I’m not here as a professor… I came in my capacity as a parent.”

“…A parent?”

Ruin raised one eyebrow and then sighed with an “Ah.”

“Ah… You said your nephew attends here.”

“Correct~”

She laughed cheerfully. But beyond that laughter was mixed a chilling madness.

“Originally, people from our side, from the underworld, don’t send their children to the military academy. We teach them within our own families. But-“

The Assassination Studies Professor rarely furrowed her brow.

“Fire Butterfly stole away all those secret techniques. Sigh. So I had no choice but to send my nephew to the military academy.”

Ruin looked up at the ceiling.

‘…Right, there was a time like that too.’

The higher-ups had once ordered them to steal the secret techniques of each prestigious family.

“But my nephew is currently the next heir to the underworld, you know?”

“!”

Ah. So that’s why she, who didn’t seem suited to be a professor, was serving as a professor at Haven?

“He needs to build his skills… but there’s been no progress at all. So Professor Heizen agreed to help train him with his control ability. So could you please die?”

At those words, Ruin let out a small chuckle.

“…How ridiculous.”

Her eyes narrowed.

“…What’s so funny?”

Ruin lazily pointed to his own neck.

“You just want to cut my throat.”

She smiled brightly.

“Correct!”

Her gaze was already not sane.

“Professor Ruins’ neck! Kyaaa, that white, straight neck, I’ve really wanted to cut it at least once!”

Swoosh!

This time five poison needles flew in succession, all aimed at one point. It was poison that could knock out even an elephant in one shot.

Ruin instantly twisted his body and dodged the poison needles.

But then it happened. Ruin, who appeared behind her, smiled coldly.

“Do you want to make your nephew the king of the underworld?”

It was an unexpected question.

“…What are you talking about right now-“

The corners of Ruin’s mouth turned up.

Because….

‘That secret technique is right here now!’

At that moment-

Bang!

Ruin’s toes kicked off the floor as he launched forward.

It wasn’t evasion. It was a frontal breakthrough.

“Oh-!”

The Assassination Studies Professor hastily leaned back, but Ruin’s hand blade was already right in front of her nose. Precisely between the nape and jaw, above the carotid artery.

In that split second, she instinctively knew. If she hadn’t blocked that just now, her neck would have really been severed.

That’s why she was inwardly bewildered. Her expression changed.

“…How do you know that movement! That’s our family’s secret assassination technique?”

Ruin muttered indifferently.

“I’ve read it before. A long time ago.”

“…You read it?”

Her expression hardened.

“You read it? Where? Even I haven’t read it?”

“During the Wayne Family investigation. I read something that came up as stolen goods.”

The Assassination Studies Professor was even more shocked.

“Wait… our family’s secret manual was… circulating as stolen goods?! That’s a lie-“

“If you think it’s a lie, go check for yourself.”

Ruin slowly took his stance. Then he demonstrated exactly one movement with perfect form.

A step pushing off with his toes.

Then lowering his shoulder and raising his hand blade.

“Chapter 1. Severing Flash.”

With those words, his hand blade pierced toward the back of her head like lightning.

The Assassination Studies Professor recoiled in shock, springing backward. However, the chilling sensation on her nape had already passed.

“…?! You really struck…. No, just now you-“

Ruin immediately transitioned to the next movement, switching his stance.

This time he tilted his body low to the left while rotating half a turn, simultaneously thrusting his sharply pointed fingertips at abdomen height.

Then another movement followed.

“Chapter 2. Lung-Piercing Flash.”

Whoosh-!

His fingertips pierced precisely past her ribs. Though no force was applied, it was exactly the trajectory to penetrate the lungs.

“…!”

The Assassination Studies Professor’s eyes widened.

This wasn’t just simple memorization. It was real technique containing training ingrained in the body, understanding, and even ‘killing intent that could actually kill.’

She quickly lowered her body and created distance from Ruin. But sweat was already flowing down her spine.

That was instinct. The flow of murder that only an assassin could understand.

“…That’s not a technique an outsider can use. It’s a killing art our family created over several generations…!”

Ruin tilted his head and cracked his knuckles. His hand movements were relaxed and leisurely, yet showed no carelessness whatsoever.

‘That’s real.’

Soon the Assassination Studies Professor’s eyes lit up.

“Chapter 3…? What’s Chapter 3?!”

Ruin chuckled and approached her. Then he slowly raised one finger and poked her forehead.

“The free sample ends here.”

“…Huh? What did you say?!”

“I can’t possibly show you all of something so precious.”

“Ah, please, please!”

“Are you curious?”

“I’m curious!”

Then Ruin placed both hands on the Assassination Studies Professor’s shoulders.

“Then from here on, it’s paid content. One million quid per line.”

「…This money-crazed bastard.」

Sure enough, the Assassination Studies Professor’s eyes went wide. Not per book, not per chapter, but per line….

“…One million quid?”

She asked back with one eye twitching.

“One million per line? That’s my nephew’s monthly rent?!”

“Yes, Chapter 3 is such rare information that it’s expensive. Of course, there’s no telling how many lines it is. Since I read it and learned it with my body, it might actually take hundreds of lines to explain one movement.”

“Professor, are you insane?!”

The Assassination Studies Professor also lived thinking she wasn’t quite sane herself, but this man was on a different level.

However, Ruin was serious.

“Pay-to-win type. This is the current trend.”

…Pay-to-win type?

“Yes. The more you pay, the stronger techniques you can learn. In other words, if you pay, you can become stronger!”

“….”

“Or I could directly train your nephew myself. The parents just need to pay up. The more you pay, the stronger your nephew becomes~”

“Th-that doesn’t make sense-“

“But since he’s a student, there’s a discount – 500,000 per lesson for students. However, there’s a 50% annual interest rate.”

…Is this loan sharking?!
