Chapter 186. Marriage Commotion (2)

“Leon is nowhere to be found?”

At Ruin’s words, the Silver Moon 2nd year class leader nodded. His anxious expression was evident.

“Yes. Since he’s a transfer student, he doesn’t know his way around well. Today I was supposed to show him the classroom layout and dormitory location… but there’s no response through Frix either.”

“…Ha.”

Ruin pressed his forehead with one hand. His eyes shook with complexity.

‘That little kid isn’t the type to just disappear carelessly…’

Though he’s rude and eccentric, he’s a younger brother who judges situations faster than anyone at crucial moments. That Leon disappeared without saying anything?

Ruin placed his hand on the ground. He awakened the shadows while pretending to use tracking magic.

‘Shadows.’

Ruin’s eyes flashed. Simultaneously, information about all humans passing through the shadows spread across Haven entered his mind.

However, Leon wasn’t among them. To be precise, he couldn’t sense his presence at all.

Ruin lifted his hand and frowned. If tracking was impossible even with his ‘shadows’, this wasn’t an ordinary situation.

‘…This isn’t a normal situation.’

Could he really have been kidnapped? In this Haven?

If so, by whom?

That was the moment.

“Professor!”

Lily and Zera appeared. Seeing Ruin’s serious expression, Zera’s face changed instantly.

“Is something wrong?”

“…My younger brother has disappeared. In Haven.”

Lily said in surprise.

“Haven has so many dangerous places. I also accidentally entered the Arcane Corridor during my 1st year and couldn’t get out for three days. This isn’t the time to be picky about methods.”

“We’ll hurry and search for him.”

Ruin looked at the two and nodded slightly.

“…Right. I’m counting on you.”

* * *

Leonhart Wayne slowly opened his eyes in an unfamiliar space.

He remembered. He had definitely been chasing a strange ‘voice of the heart’ flowing out from Haven.

[Should I destroy the Union, or… kill Professor Fire Butterfly Ruins.]

Leon instinctively realized.

This wasn’t a student.

It wasn’t human either.

“…Did that person trap me here?”

The one who knocked him unconscious and imprisoned him was none other than a teaching assistant. A Demon Hunting Studies teaching assistant at that.

‘It was definitely one of my brother’s ‘teaching assistants’…’

That’s when it happened.

A distorted flame flickered up in front of Leon. It was none other than an eyeball. It slowly raised its head toward Leon.

[Still alive, I see.]

The moment their eyes met, Leon screamed.

[You taught the little kid defense magic. My butterfly, being too good at your job is also a problem.]

This voice was definitely the voice of the teaching assistant who had kidnapped him…

That’s when it happened.

[From now on, you disappear.]

Along with that, darkness poured before Leon’s eyes as his heart was pierced.

[And I must punish the butterfly.]

As his breath was cut short by those words, Leon thought this one last time.

‘…Brother. Be careful. There’s something truly dangerous inside the Academy.’

Right next to his brother at that.

Soon his presence completely disappeared.

* * *

Ruin was dumbfounded.

‘I’ve searched all of Haven, yet even I can’t find him. This is ridiculous.’

Finally, he pulled out one last card.

It was none other than…

“Cedric Erol. 21 years old. Red Moon 4th year. You’re the one with the talent to create tracking prophecy notes, right?”

“…Hieek?!”

Kedrick fell on his bottom. The person standing like a ghost in front of his door was Professor Ruins Wayne.

“1 minute 13 seconds to open the door.”

“!”

“How slow. If I were your advisor, you’d already be dead. Oh wait, I am your advisor?”

His face was smiling like a nightmare.

“This, this is déjà vu… Professor…?”

And sure enough.

“Well then, shall we begin our consultation?”

It really is déjà vu!

Kedrick, who ended up kidnapped again and thrown into the bathtub, screamed.

Ruin, as always, played with his MacGyver knife with its gray blade at his fingertips. Then Ruin shoved a prettily carved rabbit apple into the bound Kedrick’s mouth.

“Mmph!”

“I’ll need to add some people to the tracking notebook.”

“That kind of thing…! Gah! You don’t need to kidnap me for that anymore! Ugh!”

“Really?”

Ruin spoke with apparent interest, shoving more ‘consultation refreshment apples’ into his mouth.

“I thought you hated me.”

Kedrick pleaded with tearful eyes.

‘Please just ask normally…!’

When even the 2nd Prince followed him, there was no way he would refuse this professor’s request.

Eventually, he used his ability with trembling hands. Simultaneously, tracking magic close to prophecy activated.

“…It appeared. The location…”

“Where?”

Instead of answering, Kedrick held out his notebook with a bewildered expression.

-Leonhart Wayne: Heaven Basement Level 2, Old Sector B.

…Wait. Where is this?

“Was there a basement in this sector?”

Ruin spread out a map of Haven. At the same time, Ruin’s facial expression became quite a sight as he grasped something.

Shit. That’s exactly where he imprisoned the brown-haired priest! And it’s underground too.

‘Don’t tell me he’s in the same place as the brown-haired priest?!’

More than that, how did he get in there!

‘I’m the only one who can open that place…’

How on earth?

‘Did Leon break through and enter on his own? No, that’s impossible. Could it be… the kidnapper intentionally took him there?’

Could there be someone in Haven capable of that?

No, that’s not what’s important.

‘This means… what’s currently in that basement is Leon and the priest. Both of them are there.’

In other words, to save Leon, the priest would also come out.

“…How terrible.”

While Ruin was racking his brains like this, a clear voice came from behind him.

“I’ll go with you.”

Ruin turned his head and was speechless.

It was the Holy Maiden.

“As transfer classmates… and since she’s Professor Wayne’s younger sister, I think I should help even more.”

Her eyes were innocent and clear. No malice, no calculation. An expression that truly wanted to help.

Ruin couldn’t help but scream internally.

‘Please…! Don’t get involved!’

Of course, outwardly he raised the corners of his mouth, pretending to be relaxed.

“There’s no need. Students should focus on attending classes.”

“I just want to fulfill my responsibility.”

Just throw away that responsibility! Damn Union overflowing with justice!

“I can also sense Suon’s presence around that area, so he might have fallen into the same trap.”

What an unnecessarily perceptive little kid! I don’t like perceptive little kids.

‘Should I imprison the Holy Maiden too?’

Ginseng Superior laughed with a “Pukya-kya-ka-kak.” Leon, the priest, and the Holy Maiden were all headaches.

‘One must definitely disappear, one must definitely be saved, and one must absolutely not be let in.’

But why are all three getting entangled at the same time…!

* * *

The damp, fishy smell and musty odor permeated the dark underground.

“…This is the right place.”

Ruin glanced at the Holy Maiden who was following him.

The Holy Maiden followed him with bright, sparkling eyes. Her face showed anticipation for what kind of performance Ruin would display. That honestly made things even more troublesome.

‘…Hmm. I should pretend I can’t find it and send the Holy Maiden back first. It would be problematic to let her enter like this-‘

But at that moment.

Crack!

“?!”

With a sudden flash of light, the sound of the ground cracking spread.

Ruin quickly raised his head. Blue lightning spread as the seal on the ground distorted-

Bang!

Finally, the ground exploded and someone burst out.

“…?!”

The figure who emerged through the pile of rubble was carrying a blonde boy on his back.

Blue power coursed through his bloodied body, his bulging muscles were steaming, and his ecstatically awakened aura radiated overwhelming holy power… no, that wasn’t what was important right now.

“…!”

That’s right. He was the brown-haired priest Ruin had imprisoned, Suon! Ruin and Ginseng Superior opened their mouths, and Suon glared at Ruin while gasping for breath.

“You bastard…!”

The Holy Maiden approached him in surprise.

“Suon?! Thank goodness… You’re alive!”

Suon turned around at the Holy Maiden’s voice.

“…Sister?”

His eyes held a mixture of joy, relief, and a strangely hardened expression.

The Holy Maiden approached Suon and said.

“Your current appearance… what on earth happened to you? This power…”

“I was trapped underground… after fighting monsters for days… I became like this.”

“…Monsters?”

“That’s not what’s important!”

Suon slowly set Leon down and raised his head. His gaze was directed precisely at Ruin.

“…That man is the one who imprisoned me underground!”

“…What?”

The Holy Maiden’s expression hardened.

Suon gritted his teeth and said.

“I had suspicions. He smelled like a demon. So when I tried to test him, I immediately fell into a trap. He didn’t hesitate at all. He was trying to kill me.”

“…!”

Ginseng Superior carefully tugged at Ruin’s sleeve.

「Hey, this is… pretty serious, isn’t it? What are you going to do…!」

However, Ruin was surprisingly calm, even smiling as if pleased, and clapped his hands.

“Congratulations. You’ve awakened.”

“…Excuse me?”

“Everything went according to my plan. It was worth imprisoning you properly.”

“…Plan…?”

Suon looked at Ruin with confused eyes.

“True awakening occurs when one becomes aware of danger. You endured that and returned here alive. So you succeeded.”

Ruin elegantly raised one hand and said.

“I, Ruins Wayne, as one responsible for your resurrection and growth, sincerely congratulate you.”

Suon’s mouth fell wide open. Even the Holy Maiden was left speechless.

Ruin smiled once more and said.

“…Then now, we should move on to the next stage, shouldn’t we?”

At those words, Ginseng Superior whispered.

「You crazy bastard…! What kind of plan is this supposed to be!」
