Chapter 24. Let’s See You Do Well (1)

Kalon’s Disciples were startled.

“What the hell. Why are there more bandages inside?!”

Ruin smoothly peeled away the torn bandages as he spoke.

“I prepared for this kind of situation. It’s not a pretty face to look at.”

Damn it!

There are more inside?!

“Shit, target him again!”

This time Fire Magic came rushing in.

But inside the burning bandages were more bandages…

“Kuk…! There are more?!”

As Ruin calmly removed the charred bandages, Charlie fiercely aimed at his side. He didn’t know why the students were targeting Ruin’s bandages, but if their goal was the same? This was a golden opportunity!

“Now it’s over!”

This was the limit of how much a human could wrap around their face and still move!

Finally, the moment he tore off the bandages, there was a mask on his face… what? A mask?!

“You crazy bastard, just how many layers did you wrap around yourself!”

“My face is precious, after all.”

This bastard?

Charlie was dumbfounded by the words that seemed to mock him.

But by then, the other Professors also furrowed their brows.

The sight of Ruin defeating Charlie was quite shocking. So perhaps they thought it might not be easy to pull that man down from his position as Demon Hunting Studies professor. So they were wondering what to do.

‘That attitude.’

What kind of madman would go to such lengths to protect their face!

Sure enough, the Healing Professor and Charlie looked at each other’s faces.

‘Wait a minute. If he’s trying to hide it that much…’

‘Could it be that the Imperial Princess’s Mark is on his face?’

The two flashed their eyes with different meaning.

‘Right. It must be.’

There’s no way that bastard could have broken the Imperial Princess’s magic! The Teaching Assistants said they couldn’t find it even after body searching, but there was a blind spot – his face.

With that thought, the crazed Healing Professor moved.

‘I should help strip it off too…’

It was when she was about to use magic.

Bang!

Charlie came flying next to the Healing Professor, beaten to a pulp.

“Professor Charlie!”

Ruin brushed the blood off his gloves and muttered menacingly.

“Before you think useless thoughts, hurry up and take that slime away. I can’t stand my room being dirty.”

“…Kuk!”

“Or will you be the next ones to attack?”

“…!”

The Professors couldn’t open their mouths for a different reason. Ruin’s cold gaze was frightening.

On the other hand, Ruin was in a good mood.

‘With this, Charlie’s Professor’s Office is mine.’

「Wait, what happened to the friend-friend strategy…」

‘This is the friend-friend strategy.’

「How is this a friend-friend strategy…?」

‘There are various types of friends. This guy is a friend who generously gives what he has.’

Ginseng was horrified.

「…Isn’t this guy crazy?」

Of course, he did use the trick of deliberately provoking Charlie to cloud his judgment, but who cares.

‘If you’re upset, you should fix your personality first.’

He had already finished investigating Charlie and knew him well. Charlie’s dislike of Wayne was originally caused by an inferiority complex, so to Ruin it was just cute.

So he just had to use that.

「Still, it ended without even unbuttoning the glove buttons. I thought you’d undo at least one.」

‘That’s right.’

Since the opponent was still a high-ranking hero of the Union, he thought he might need to partially release the seal, but fortunately that wasn’t necessary.

In fact, the black leather gloves he always wore were-

【Hands that Bind Fate (Special Grade Artifact)】

‘Wanderlust’. In other words, it was an artifact that bound the power of Misfortune to its maximum.

Even if just one of the four glove buttons was undone, terrible Misfortune would leak out. He had done the same with the Principal.

But-

‘Charlie’s luck power is actually just at an ordinary person’s level.’

He didn’t even need to use misfortune.

But those people were completely different. The Healing Professor who had been glaring at him from earlier.

「Oh. Those guys have high luck power?」

‘Hmm. Are they planning to get revenge for their colleague?’

In reality, they were after Ruin’s bandages, but Ruin spoke as if warning them.

“If you keep staying in someone else’s classroom without requesting to audit, you’ll regret it.”

“?”

Ruin smoothly rubbed the mark on his wrist with his fingertip. Then powerful flames erupted from the floor.

The students were startled by the sight.

“Ah, that magic!”

“That one from before!”

The Gold Gate 3rd years who had experienced the magic were terrified, and the two professors were bewildered for different reasons. Anyone could see it was advanced magic!

‘Wait, that man. Wasn’t he a battle mage?’

‘A battle mage using advanced elemental magic?’

Usually battle mages use strength and speed enhancement magic to train their bodies. He was too young to have mastered such advanced elemental magic.

‘Unless he has incredible luck power, or is an incredible genius…!’

This was similar to a swordsman being skilled at magic too. If the Hero, who was searching for outstanding talent to catch Fire Butterfly, had seen this scene, he would have been thrilled beyond belief.

However, Ruin himself was curious.

‘Oh. I just tried it out, but it actually works?’

This was actually the Principal’s magic. The Principal’s magic sealed with ‘God’s Right Hand’. In other words, he had just been testing the mark on his wrist.

‘Since the spell technique is sealed in my body, theoretically I can extract and use it with ‘3-Minute Copy’.’

So he had just been testing it.

「Oh, so that was the identity of the fire you used in front of the students back then!」

‘That’s right.’

He had been using ‘3-Minute Copy’ back then too, so he must have accidentally touched the mark.

Moreover, he figured out why it became different magic than the original. It was because of Ruins Wayne’s characteristic.

【Ironclad Pride】

Has very strong pride and hates doing things that would damage his pride. Absolutely refuses to kneel.

…It seemed that the act of ‘imitating’ or ‘copying’ someone was a tremendous scratch to Ruins Wayne’s pride. So he deliberately changed it into Ruins Wayne’s original magic.

‘What a troublesome personality.’

But it was very good for Ruin.

‘Transformation magic gets higher evaluation in academic circles too.’

Moreover, the magic used this way didn’t emit curse power either, perhaps due to Wayne’s ‘Ironclad Pride’ that he was devouring. He had no idea what the relationship between ‘curse power’ and ‘pride’ was, but whatever.

“If you’re not going to pick up that slime, well, there’s nothing I can do.”

At those flames, the Healing Professor sneered slightly.

“You’re going to use magic in front of the Defense Professor? Go ahead and try. The Defense Professor will block it all for you-“

However, an unexpected answer came.

“Why should I?”

“What?”

“Aren’t you the ones who started this fight?”

“?!”

As the Defense Professor laughed heartily, the Healing Professor was dumbfounded.

The Defense Professor was taking Ruins Wayne’s side?

It seemed he was interested in the incident of defeating Charlie. Then there was no choice. She would have to remove the bandages herself…

“Kyaaaah!”

The Healing Professor screamed at the scene before her eyes.

She was horrified by the flames burning near Charlie and rushed to him.

“Professor Charlie!”

“Not only did the Self-Defense Professor serve as a demonstration dummy, but he’s even trying to teach us post-mortem monster disposal methods by burning his whole body. How touching. Truly a hero of our Union. Truly my friend.”

Crazy bastard!

Eventually the Healing Professor took Charlie and left the classroom. She didn’t forget to be wary of Ruin.

‘There’s definitely an Imperial Princess’s mark on his face!’

‘Let’s tell the Imperial Princess about this. Then we can get him kicked out of his professor position!’

With his business finished, Ruin also kicked out the Defense Professor without hesitation.

“Farewell.”

The Defense Professor who had helped Ruin was bewildered.

“Huh? Huh? Wait, I still have business with you!”

“Go home, wash your neck, and sleep well.”

Bang!

At that scene, Kalon’s disciples were terrified.

‘Sleep well after washing your neck…!’

They were clearly professors who came to frame him with bribes, so it made sense that Ruins was angry. He wouldn’t forgive even fellow colleagues.

And if it was revealed that they were the ones who reported the bribes…!

‘Let’s run away.’

Just as they made that decision.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

A student trying to leave through the door collapsed and fell forward.

It was Ruin who subdued him. He sat on top of him and narrowed his eyes.

“I didn’t know you guys were so interested in my face.”

His golden eyes flashing fiercely like a black panther were frightening. The student froze.

“P-Professor…! That’s not it-“

“I’m sorry. Honestly, we were curious about how ugly you were.”

“So you reported that I take bribes?”

The students were horrified.

Damn! He figured that out too?

The bodies of the students who reported him began to tremble visibly.

“A-Actually, the Imperial Princess recommended the method… We’ve committed a mortal sin!”

“Good. I’ll overlook that in a good mood since I gained something from it too.”

Since he got Charlie’s professor research office.

And the students were relieved by Ruin’s answer.

‘Phew… Thank goodness…’

“However, only if you pass my test.”

The students who froze again felt their hearts drop.

Damn it, he has no intention of forgiving them?

‘What kind of test is he planning to give…’

But Ruin’s words were unexpected.

“The basics of Demon Hunting Studies is capturing demons. Anyone who succeeds in seeing my face, I’ll let them pass this midterm exam.”

“A-Are you serious?”

The students who had prepared for punishment couldn’t help but smile.

That’s because the Demon Hunting Studies practical exam was notoriously difficult.

‘Even if we fail, it’s break-even…’

However.

“But if you fail, all Goldmoon 3rd years will be expelled.”

“…”

…What? Excuse me?

“Expelled.”

Without even a minimum score?

“Try your best for your friends’ sake too.”

Kalon’s disciples had a mental breakdown. That’s because the killing intent of the students who had been quietly sitting…

“You crazy bastards!”

“Are you dying to get killed!”

“Who do you think you are to mess with the professor!”

They felt their lives were threatened.

* * *

“What? He already fought with the Self-Defense Professor?”

“And he won.”

At the butler’s words, the Principal unconsciously opened his mouth. He would never normally show such an expression, but the story was too shocking.

‘Professor Wayne really beat that Self-Defense Professor?’

Actually, was it when they first met? He had somewhat expected his skills from when he blocked the Self-Defense Professor’s technique, but he never thought he would actually win.

Of course, Charlie had severe mood swings that sometimes caused problems with his ability performance, but he never wavered when facing enemies.

He wondered if Charlie’s heart had softened because he was friends with Wayne, but wasn’t he groaning in the medical ward in the first place? This could only be explained by an overwhelming difference in skill.

“Actually, the rumor has spread completely and students are curious. Students who didn’t register for classes because of the Goldmoon students are regretting it.”

Right. That makes sense. Charlie is that strong after all.

“Additionally, Ruins Wayne’s ‘Lecture Audit Rights’ are being sold at high prices secretly, so the professors have started cracking down on it.”

The Principal seemed not to have expected this and pressed his brow.

Right, he’d naturally be curious. After all, this is the very person who defeated the Self-Defense Professor and, more importantly, shattered the Imperial Princess’s magic.

“By the way, they fought over a Professor’s Office? Why would Professor Wayne abandon the Senior Professor’s Office and…?”

“That’s not it, Prin— I mean, no.”

As the Butler averted his gaze, Charlotte’s eyes became resolute.

“What is it? Tell me.”

“…Actually, Wayne said he dislikes the Principal.”

The Principal looked like a startled rabbit. It seemed to take her about 3 seconds to understand.

“…What?!”

She seemed quite hurt by this. No way—fighting because he disliked her so much that he’d abandon that excellent Research Lab and choose the Chicken Coop Research Lab instead…!

‘Did I test him too harshly during our first meeting?’

Charlotte actually felt a bit sorry.

“I guess I left him with frightening memories after all.”

“No. That’s not it… He says he dislikes you because you’re too pretty.”

…What?

This time it seemed to take about 3 minutes for her to understand.

“…What?!”
