Chapter 28. Strip to Survive (3)

Ruin sighed and brushed off his clothes. Ice fragments fell with a pattering sound.

The Imperial Princess was flustered. The Teaching Assistant approached in surprise.

“P-Professor, are you alright?”

“Didn’t I say it was child’s play? Ah. If you come any closer, you’ll become a frozen fillet, so don’t.”

The Imperial Princess was bewildered.

He didn’t freeze from that Freezing Aura?

Ruin casually wiggled his hand. This level of Freezing Aura could be absorbed by Shadow.

‘Well, only same level or below is possible though.’

Finally, Ruin raised his right hand and placed it on the Barrier.

“Now then, it’s time for a fun eye exam.”

With those words, the Barrier cracked with a sharp sound. And in the blink of an eye, the Barrier shattered completely.

Crack, crack!

Bang!

The Imperial Princess couldn’t believe her eyes.

‘He broke that?’

That quickly?

‘That was Dispel Magic!’

Who could defuse a bomb just by touching it! Dispel Magic was originally a spell technique that analyzed the original technique and destroyed its structure piece by piece. Naturally, it had to take time.

But what was this…!

At that moment, an icy blast swept through the Classroom with an explosion.

Bang!

Ruin emerged from inside the Barrier with a smile.

“Well, excellent. This level deserves to be called play rather than child’s play.”

The Imperial Princess was so shocked she couldn’t speak.

When he mentioned Dispel Magic, she had watched to see what kind of impressive skill he had. Experts in Dispel Magic weren’t common. So if his skills were mediocre, she had planned to mock him.

But.

‘…This is the first time I’ve seen such fast destruction. He even broke the curse?’

Meanwhile, Ruin was pleased.

‘As expected, my prediction was right.’

He looked at his right hand.

Actually, there was a reason for why he had been so rude to the Imperial Princess to a puzzling degree.

‘I needed to obtain Magic.’

Ruins’ trait ‘God’s Right Hand’ could seal Magic. And he could take it out and use it. The conditions were just tricky.

【God’s Right Hand】

Seals all harm that comes to me.

Right, the question was what the standard for this ‘harm’ was.

Magic that harmed opponents like the Principal’s? Then only Attack Magic was possible?

‘No.’

Actually, what made him suspicious was when he broke the 3rd Year Students’ Barrier Magic.

He had actually broken it with Dispel Magic then, but because he touched the Barrier with his right hand, a Seal Mark remained on his hand too.

‘Well, that Seal Mark disappeared quickly though.’

Ruin’s trait, ‘Noble Selective Eating’ had activated.

【Noble Selective Eating】(Unique Trait)

Seeks out and selectively consumes only what’s good for my body. Applies to everything.

It must have been because the 3rd Year Students’ Magic was too weak in power. It disappeared because it was judged to have no value worth keeping in his body.

Still, that incident was a great help to Ruin.

‘Maybe anything containing ‘malice’ is treated as harm?’

So he tested it. How far Wayne’s ability could help him.

Provoking the Imperial Princess was for that reason. She clearly harbored feelings of hatred toward him, making her a good test subject.

When he actually provoked her, killing intent overflowed, and the power was even tremendous. It was sufficient to be judged as ‘harm.’

Sure enough.

‘Certain. If malice is contained, any Magic can be sealed.’

In other words, even Healing Magic could be sealed if it contained killing intent, which meant-

‘I can steal the Healing Professor’s Magic!’

No, it wasn’t just the Healing Professor.

‘I can steal other professors’ Magic too.’

Honestly, Ruins Wayne had far too few Magic spells. Fortunately, he had ‘Flame Kill,’ but ordinary heroes knew how to handle basic Healing Magic as well as all sorts of various Magic.

‘Even students use that level of magic these days.’

If Ruins’ specs were exposed, he might be fired immediately. Honestly, he was at a level worse than a 1st year student.

‘If I don’t want to lose the professor’s office, I need to get some magic first.’

「Why, you have special-grade magic. Figure Making~」

Should I steam you with red ginseng? This plant Superior.

Anyway, the Imperial Princess’s magic was sealed in his body.

If the picky ‘Noble Selective Eating’ judged it useful, it meant it would help him. And this magic would transform into Ruin’s exclusive transformation magic thanks to Ruins’ ‘Ironclad Pride’.

‘With this, I should somehow be able to conduct Demon Hunting Studies classes.’

Be grateful, Ruins Wayne.

No matter what, he couldn’t conduct classes with Figure Making… no, Fire Butterfly’s Copy Ability.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Princess looked clearly surprised and frustrated.

“I didn’t even see you use Dispel Magic.”

She seemed unable to comprehend this situation.

“You blew away both the barrier… and curse magic at the same time.”

Ruin avoided her gaze.

Well… it wasn’t actually Dispel Magic, but the power of his right hand. Of course she couldn’t see it.

He actually had no intention of using Dispel Magic in front of an Imperial Palace person. Why?

‘Someone wanted by the Imperial Palace can’t show Fire Butterfly’s specialized techniques in front of Imperial Palace people.’

However, the Imperial Princess bit her lips in frustration.

‘Just how much of a master is he?’

She was a talent who received attention even in the Union. She couldn’t even see him use magic techniques. As if this kind of humiliation was a first, she stared at Ruin strangely.

Toward such an Imperial Princess, Ruin cleared his throat.

“Well, that’s still a passing grade. I’ll give you a reward.”

What?

“This isn’t a deal, but a reward for working hard.”

Ruin unwrapped his bandages.

Swish.

At the sound of bandages falling, the students and professors who had their ears pressed to the door went into an uproar.

* * *

“I’m surprised, Professor.”

“About what.”

“I never thought you really wouldn’t have a mark…!”

“Didn’t I say there wasn’t one.”

Ruin organized his bandages.

Actually, Ruin had shown his face to the Imperial Princess.

‘I had to prove there was no mark.’

To the Imperial Princess who was having pupil earthquakes wondering if she’d eventually have to kneel, he coldly sent her away saying ‘Stop thinking stupid thoughts and prepare consolation money instead.’

The Imperial Princess who left in a daze and the shocked professors screamed in disbelief.

“Still, showing it was really unexpected.”

“What’s there that I can’t show.”

“No, you wrapped your face up like a madman protecting… I mean, so tightly that I thought it was an absolute taboo.”

…Teaching Assistant. Wasn’t one of those words just now a bit longer?

Eventually Ruin sighed. His face with the bandages removed had tremendous scars. It was practically close to rotted leprosy.

Of course, these scars were a ‘Human Skin Mask’. He obtained it by making contact with a spy hiding in the Union.

‘I left it to a skilled guy, so it won’t be discovered anytime soon.’

Rather, the problem wasn’t that, but Ruins’ damn trait. Why?

【Obsessive Compulsive Disorder】

A paranoid symptom that always pursues perfection and produces perfect results.

He would immediately reject it if there were even slight flaws in the Human Skin Mask. So from Ruin’s perspective, it was maddening!

‘This bastard. Does he plan to keep being picky and ruin all deals!’

Craftsmen in this field have very strong pride!

Well, the craftsman actually liked it though.

“You seem to have good eyes, would you check some of our defective products? I’ll do that Human Skin Mask for half price too.”

Ruins, this bastard, useless but useful…!

Anyway, going to such lengths to reveal his face to the Imperial Princess had a real purpose.

The first reason was to shut the Imperial Princess’s mouth and make the Healing Professor eat crow.

‘The one who told the Imperial Princess to look at my face was obviously the Healing Professor.’

“Did you see? There’s no mark.”

The second was to inform that he was deeply researching Healing Arts and that it was effective.

“This is ‘Deformed Skin Syndrome.’ I’m developing a treatment, and about one-third has recovered.”

If the clever Imperial Princess understood, she would know exactly what these two things meant.

Sure enough, the Imperial Princess was rarely surprised.

“Isn’t Deformed Skin Syndrome an incurable disease?”

That’s right. That’s it, Imperial Princess! As expected, so clever!

Even though she was in the Magic Studies department, she was attending Healing Arts major classes. In other words, she was extremely interested in healing arts.

She was actually the Healing Professor’s favorite student. What that meant was—

‘If the Imperial Princess transfers to my class, it would become big news.’

Just looking at the ‘professor expulsion’ incident, Gold Gate seemed to worship the Imperial Princess. There would definitely be students who would follow her to the class.

It was underhanded, but this couldn’t be helped.

‘Currently, only about 10 students want to enter my Healing Arts class.’

Honestly, considering it was such a minor field that even perverts who would turn back time to attend all subjects would back away, this was a grateful level, but it was far from enough to take over the Healing Magic Classroom.

So while he used the Imperial Princess, he wondered if it would work out well.

‘I need to gather at least 100 people to meet the conditions, but how…’

Damn, isn’t there a way to become number one while taking it easy?

But then, Teaching Assistant Lily kept glancing at Ruin’s face. Her eyes looked unusual too.

Ruin was unnecessarily anxious, wondering if it was obvious that the scars covering his face were fake.

“What do you keep looking at?”

She was called a teaching assistant, but Haven’s teaching assistants were Union’s mid-to-high level heroes. They absolutely couldn’t be taken lightly…

“Professor Wayne. You’re really handsome.”

“…What?”

Looking at this face and spouting such nonsense.

“No, really.”

Right now, Ruin had the human skin mask attached over his real face. So the extremely small part he showed as healed was Ruin’s face, but…

‘What peculiar taste.’

Of course, Ginseng Superior had asked if it was okay to use his real face, but that didn’t matter either.

‘Anyway, Wayne’s face is a congenital monster. Even if the fixed face looks like this, who would say anything?’

The hair color and eye color were the same, and it wasn’t greatly different from the Marquis family’s lineage.

Infiltration was originally a tool for making a living. For Fire Butterfly, infiltration was like breathing. Well, thanks to that, Superior said it worked out well and asked him to take on the Haven infiltration mission too, but…

‘Are you crazy? I’m going to start bee farming once I get my severance pay, so why would I…’

That’s when it happened.

“When I saw you before, Professor, I never could have imagined.”

At the teaching assistant’s words, Ruin immediately became alert. Because it wasn’t in the ‘information.’

“Have we met before?”

“Ah! You probably don’t remember, Professor.”

Lily broke out in a sweat as if recalling an embarrassing past.

“Actually, when I was a student long ago, I took your class, Professor…”

Ah. So that’s why she was being considerate? I wondered why Charlie’s Self-Defense teaching assistant was following around.

More than that, Ruins… did he teach well with such characteristics?

“Anyway, Professor. Try recruiting students with your face. You’ll be very popular.”

…Are you serious?

“I’m serious.”

As expected, there’s no one sane under the Hero.

Anyway, gathering students was the problem. And an equally big problem was this.

-【Introduction to Demon Hunting Studies: An Introduction You Don’t Need to Know】

-Professor in Charge: Ruins Wayne

-Course Registrants: 1 person

Ha, who’s the bastard that registered for this?

This was even a liberal arts theory class. In other words, this couldn’t be substituted with hide and seek or anything, meaning he had to actually teach a real class. Ruin’s eyebrows couldn’t help but rise.

‘What kind of pervert would take something like this?’

* * *

“What? The First Prince registered for Wayne’s class?”

“Yes. It was definitely His Highness’s name.”

Professor Kalon, who heard the news, had a headache.

“Why would he do such a thing again?”

It made sense because the First Prince was a graduating student that Kalon was directly teaching.

That’s why Kalon was grinding his teeth. He was already irritated because everyone he encountered was chattering, ‘Is it true that the Gloucester Family got thoroughly beaten by Fire Butterfly!’

Of course, it was his grandfather’s affair, but shameful was shameful. Did they think he could work in the same workplace as that bastard?

‘I need to somehow drive him out before the Chairman arrives.’

Every hero admires and reveres the Hero. It was worth being concerned about who the Chairman would take interest in.

‘But if a prince gets attached, I won’t be able to drive Wayne out.’

No, that aside, the caliber and level of the students one teaches is directly the professor’s Achievement.

‘Surely the First Prince isn’t taking interest in Wayne, is he?’

If Ruins were to become an aide to the Imperial Successors, it would cause an uproar. Because they were guaranteed the right to use the ‘Wish Stone’ as compensation for victory in the imperial succession war. The professors couldn’t help but be nervous.

“Will it be alright? If His Highness the First Prince is taking interest in Wayne…”

“He won’t catch His Highness’s eye anyway.”

“But didn’t he neutralize the Imperial Princess’s magic? He’s still a Transcendent candidate.”

At that, Kalon let out a sneer.

Ha, a Transcendent candidate?

“You mean that Imperial Princess with unstable power?”

“!”

‘What would change just because he suppressed one little brat like that?’

“I already know Wayne’s teaching abilities.”

“!”

Hadn’t Kalon witnessed Wayne’s disastrous lectures during his part-time instructor days?

“Ruins Wayne is a quack.”
