Chapter 187. Marriage Commotion (3)

Suon was dumbfounded by Ruin’s shameless words.

What the hell did that bastard just babble about!

Suon gritted his teeth and turned to look at the Holy Maiden.

“Sister, this is clearly imprisonment. Education, you say… This person has never once given me anything resembling a proper lesson.”

However, Ruin smiled leisurely and said.

“You had a hidden ability. But you didn’t know about it. I knew you had a hidden ability.”

“…So you imprisoned me for that?”

“Yes.”

“Really, not because you suspected me of being a demon…?”

“Well? I’m a professor. More important than such suspicions was confirming whether you could truly surpass your limits.”

“But still, imprisoning someone is!”

“It was just a form of extreme training.”

Suon clenched his fists in anger. The Holy Maiden stepped forward.

“I’ll need to verify whether it was really training or not.”

Just as the Holy Maiden was about to step forward, Ruin’s Frix popped out. The Principal’s voice could be heard from it.

「Holy Maiden, as long as you’ve become a student of Haven, I advise you to follow the rules. Students must not attack professors. Please withhold emotional judgment.」

“…I’ll accept it as a command.”

Ruin raised the corners of his mouth in what looked like a sneer.

It works well. Forging the Principal’s voice.

Suon’s eyes widened.

“This is manipulation. It doesn’t make sense.”

“You wouldn’t want to believe it. But you-“

Ruin approached and lightly tapped Suon’s shoulder with his fingertip.

“You became stronger because of my extreme training.”

Suon’s body flinched.

“…You bastard…!”

But that wasn’t what was important to Ruin.

“More importantly, would you return what you’re covering there? He’s my younger brother.”

“!”

Younger brother?

Then Suon’s expression became subtle. It didn’t take long to understand the meaning of that expression.

“Leon?”

He was dead.

“Leon!”

He wasn’t breathing. And there was even a wound in his heart area.

“How did this happen?”

When Ruin glared at Suon, Suon said.

“He was already dead when I found him.”

“!”

“I did pour as much Holy Power as I could into him though…”

Ruin pushed him aside as if telling him to move and quickly pressed his ear to Leon’s heart. His younger brother’s appearance with closed eyes was as peaceful as if he were quietly sleeping, but the wound in his heart area was clearly a fatal wound.

Lily, Zera, and even the Holy Maiden held their breath in panic and poured out Holy Power. In the midst of all this-

“…Hah.”

Ruin quietly let out a sigh.

“Everyone step back.”

“…Professor Ruins…?”

“It’ll be over soon.”

He pulled out his magic wand.

“He’s not dead yet.”

“!”

It was close. Was what Suon said about pouring Holy Power true?

Heroes sometimes escape death’s crisis thanks to their high Luck Power, but originally, Demonic Energy was suppressing his fortune and driving him toward death.

However, thanks to Suon’s Holy Power, the Demonic Energy had disappeared and he was barely clinging to life.

That’s why this was possible.

‘Time reversal.’

Flash!

Soon time magic unfolded, and Ginseng Superior screamed.

「You, that thing again!」

‘Those who borrow try not to disturb the balance of the world they’ve borrowed from, if possible.’

Ruins Wayne had died because of him.

Honestly, he didn’t want to let even those younger brothers die. That was his way of showing gratitude for borrowing the identity.

That’s why he gently placed his palm on Leon’s forehead.

“…I can’t let my younger sister die within the academy.”

Finally, the time reversal magic activated,

Thump.

His heart beat.

“!”

Leon’s eyelids trembled slightly, then his lungs drew in breath.

“…Kuk, haah…!”

Lily frowned. And Suon was frozen, staring at the scene.

And.

“Mmm….”

Leon slowly opened his eyes under Ruin’s gaze.

“…Where is… this… Huh… Brother…?”

Ruin carried Leon on his back.

“This should be enough to handle the scene. I’ll take Leon to the medical ward.”

The Holy Maiden tried to stop him, but Suon blocked her path.

“…Right now… we lack evidence.”

“…Suon?”

“You said not to act emotionally… didn’t you. More than that….”

Suon looked back at Ruin again. There was a subtle tremor in his eyes.

“…It’s frustrating enough to kill me… but there was actually an effect from being trapped. He overcame a wall he couldn’t jump before.”

“!”

“And though I poured holy power into him, he was as good as dead.”

“!”

“That time reversal that brought him back to life. If he has power to that extent… he’ll be helpful to us.”

Suon whispered to the Holy Maiden.

“Have you forgotten His Holiness the Pope’s words to bring anything helpful to the Holy Kingdom?”

“…!”

Ruin smiled mysteriously.

“Then for the next training, come find me yourself when you’re ready.”

With those words, Ruin disappeared into the darkness carrying Leon.

* * *

“Huk… huk….”

Ruin quickly escaped from underground, breathing shortly.

‘That was close… almost dangerous. I nearly got caught for real.’

Leon hung limply in his arms like a sack of rice.

But suddenly Leon tilted his head and spoke.

“What’s dangerous, Brother?”

“…?!”

Ruin reflexively stopped walking.

Damn, this bastard read part of my mind again…!

Though a curse almost slipped out, Ruin pressed his forehead as if resigned. This was also a risk of borrowing someone’s identity. So he smiled warmly yet casually and answered.

“…You were in danger. I’m glad you’re alive.”

“…!”

At those words from his brother, with whom he hadn’t gotten along well, Leon’s eyes widened instantly. He turned his head in confusion and rubbed his nose awkwardly. To think his brother would save him by using his own lifespan.

“…Br-Brother too… I’m glad you’re safe.”

“Me? Why.”

“Well, I was reading minds as usual at the academy, when someone… was thinking this.”

Leon whispered in a low, serious voice.

-Marriage with the Imperial Palace? Should I destroy the Union.

“…What did you say?”

Ruin’s brow twitched slightly upon hearing those words.

It can’t be that bastard Echo, right? Don’t tell me his jealousy exploded….

But Leon said something unexpected.

“Something was strange. The way they spoke didn’t seem like they were from the Union side… I think it might be someone from Pride. Maybe a spy.”

“…That’s serious information.”

Ruin immediately fell into thought.

The warning Echo had given.

“Besides you, one more demon spy might have entered Haven.”

Could it be… that spy was the very one who attacked Leon just now?

“So… let me confirm. Was the voice male or female?”

“It was female, but before that, that person… seemed like the teaching assistant who was with you, hyung.”

Ruin stopped.

“…What did you say?”

A teaching assistant? Then the Princess…? Could it be that the Princess moved on her own? Or… was the Princess originally a spy sent by the Five Evils?

‘Was her offer to help me fake?’

“Was it the one with purple hair?”

“No, no. Not that one… the one with ash-colored hair, Li…”

“…Don’t tell me it was Lily?”

Ruin’s eyes widened even more.

“Are you really saying it was Lily?”

That clear-eyed lunatic? No way?

Suddenly Ruin realized something. Lily had originally been Charlie’s teaching assistant before suddenly transferring to him. And it had happened so naturally, as if it were predetermined.

But what if all of that had already been planned? As a spy, she would have had to approach closely and in detail.

“Tell me more details.”

Ruin approached seriously, and Leon was about to speak when he closed his mouth. Suddenly, a memory popped in his head.

-Or should we kill our pretty Fire Butterfly, Ruins?

Along with those words, Leon’s pupils shook.

“Leon?”

Did those words mean killing Ruins who is Fire Butterfly, or did they mean killing Fire Butterfly and Ruins?

Leon stared intently at his hyung. Then he chuckled softly.

‘That can’t be right.’

Leon tightly embraced his hyung whom he had finally found again.

* * *

That evening at 8 o’clock. The clock hands in the Head Professor’s office kept turning endlessly. Ruin, who was writing up student records, rested his chin on his hand with a serious expression.

“…There’s no way Lily is a spy.”

Ruin leaned back in his chair.

‘That child is just a clear-eyed lunatic… She’s just quirky and a little strange.’

However, the words Leon had told him were too bizarre.

-Marriage with the Imperial Court, should we destroy the Union.

Right.

…There’s no way ‘Lily’ would say such things.

‘Destroying the Union? All because of me alone?’

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. Wind rushed through the gaps and the candle flickered out with a whoosh.

And then came the sound of a door creaking open-

“Professor?”

A familiar voice was heard.

A voice so bright and clear that it was even more frightening.

“Lily…”

Ruin raised his head to look at her. She entered the Head Professor’s office with her usual innocent face.

“Did you come to look for documents?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Lily answered with a smile.

However, Ruin’s eyes weren’t smiling. In those pupils, an inexplicable tension and suspicion rippled.

‘Let me test her.’

He quietly opened his mouth.

“Teaching Assistant Lily.”

“Yes?”

Ruin threw out a single word.

“Have you ever heard the name ‘Cerberus’?”

Lily tilted her head.

“…Is it the name of a demon beast?”

…She passed without suspicion.

Ruin’s eyes narrowed. A direct approach was meaningless. Then he would take a roundabout way.

“Then how about this. ‘Fire is not lit from above’.”

Lily paused for a moment, but soon smiled brightly and said.

“It’s lit from below. Fire always starts from the bottom, doesn’t it?”

Even slightly amusing. It was too natural.

…Either an ordinary person, or a very skilled disguiser.

Lily quietly organized the Senior Professor’s Office, then turned toward Ruin. She slowly approached and casually threw out words.

“Ah, Professor. Come to think of it, didn’t you say before?”

“Hm?”

“If it’s marriage funds equivalent to severance pay… you’d be fine marrying into the Imperial Court.”

“…That was a joke. Why are you bringing that up now-“

Before Ruin could finish speaking, Lily suddenly pressed her lips to his.

“…?!”

Ruin’s eyes widened. But before that, some liquid went down his throat with a gulp.

‘What just happened…?’

Thud.

Lily placed a crystal reagent bottle on the desk. The moment Ruin saw that bottle, he nearly stopped breathing.

“…That’s…!”

Fire Butterfly’s exclusive ultra-strong aphrodisiac.

It was the dangerous drug he had confiscated from Herbology Professor Gransia before. A drug that, when consumed, heightens senses for a certain period and causes self-control to collapse.

‘Of all things… that… to me…!’

“Ugh…!”

His body began to heat up. His blood boiled and his heart pounded against his chest. His tongue tingled and his vision distorted.

Most of all, down below was getting… hotter.

“…You, don’t tell me…”

“Shh.”

Lily smiled and placed her finger on his lips. Then she pushed his chest, making him fall to the floor.

“?!”

Lily quietly climbed on top of him, loosened Ruin’s necktie, and somewhat roughly tore off his shirt.

Rip, rip rip!

As his firm chest was revealed, she gently kissed Ruin’s nape and whispered. Then the aura of the Demon Race seeped out.

“My pretty butterfly. You mustn’t make such naughty sounds.”

At those words, Ruin realized the entire situation.

Demon Emperor?!
