Chapter 30. Steal the Students (2)

“Course syllabus?”

Ruin looked up.

The Teaching Assistants, as if they had been waiting, placed a thick document file on the desk.

“Yes! You still haven’t submitted the course syllabus for ‘Demon Hunting Studies’…!”

Ruin, who was checking documents in the Combat Department office, clicked his tongue.

When he needed to increase the number of Healing Arts students.

‘Come to think of it, the Principal said he was looking forward to the course syllabus.’

But the most annoying thing in the world was making schedules. It was also what he hated most.

As a practical person, Ruin found paperwork the most bothersome. So much so that even his written apologies—

—I did wrong.

Just one line.

That was all.

In fact, he firmly believed that one line was sufficient. Though his Superior who received those written apologies always had the same reaction.

“…Hey. Did you really submit this as an official document?”

Of course, Ruin didn’t bat an eye. What mattered to him were results, and he sincerely thought, ‘If the results are good, can’t the paperwork be handled somehow?’

“Why do I have to write documents according to format every time for something that just needs results? It’s inefficient.”

Every time he said that, his Superior would always sigh and leave a pointed remark.

“…That’s only because you’ve never failed a mission, you monster bastard…”

But to think he’d have to write essays again.

However, it couldn’t be avoided.

The unpopular Healing Arts class, or rather ‘Painful Healing Studies’ lecture, was originally submitted to the Academy by Ruins, so that was fine, but since he had taken on Demon Hunting Studies himself, he had to write it directly.

Still, there might be some benefits.

‘At least if I plan it, I can train them my way. I can also assess student data and make them dig for the retirement fund box.’

If they only dug tunnels in one place it would be suspicious, so he’d have them dig here and there.

「This bastard is trying to use students as laborers.」

‘Well, I’ll write the syllabus normally so as not to arouse suspicion.’

However, the Combat Department Professors watching this scene actually scoffed.

“Does he think a course syllabus is that easy?”

“Especially for Demon Hunting Studies.”

Haven’s course syllabi weren’t simple curriculums.

‘Blueprints for raising heroes.’

Among them, Demon Hunting Studies was close to a ‘war manual’ that included combat magic, fighting, ethics, and even mental training.

Sure enough, the Professors who found Ruin disagreeable chuckled.

“It won’t be easy, will it? At Haven, you have to write training methods for raising heroes, not just students.”

At those words, the atmosphere in the room subtly changed. The Teaching Assistants read the mood, but Ruin, who was actually holding the pen, tilted his head.

“Heroes? To what level?”

“Haven’s goal is to catch special-class fugitives like Fire Butterfly, so we need to raise heroes at Fire Butterfly’s level.”

“Hmm. Fire Butterfly is the goal.”

Ruin’s hand, which had been about to write carelessly, stopped abruptly. Thinking something of this, the Professors exchanged glances.

‘Good, he’s finding it difficult after all.’

‘Now we can induce mistakes.’

‘Let’s crush the New Professor’s dignity and disappoint the Principal.’

The scent of rivalry spread through the air.

“If it’s really difficult, we could help you.”

“Yes. Everyone finds it hard at first.”

“Even Veteran Professors from other prestigious schools say it’s difficult and get flustered. At minimum two weeks, or up to a month is standard.”

“But if we help you, it could be done in as little as 3 days—”

However, Ruin nonchalantly put down his pen.

“No. It’s fine. I’m done writing.”

A brief silence.

“Ah, as expected… What?”

…What?!

…

What?

…

What?!

Faculty Meeting Room.

The Principal and professors were surprised by the unexpected news brought by the Combat Department Assistant.

“Really? Professor Wayne submitted his course syllabus?”

The Principal seemed inwardly excited.

But the professors grumbled. Haven’s course syllabi were notoriously difficult. The training methods targeting Fire Butterfly were at a level that even professional officers would gasp at.

And he wrote all of that on the spot?

“Being new, he must have taken Haven’s course syllabus lightly.”

“That’s right. They evaluate so strictly…”

However, the professors’ expressions changed when they saw Ruin’s course syllabus brought by the Teaching Assistants.

…Wait, what is this.

They thought it would be hastily scribbled—

‘Why is it written so well?’

For something supposedly written on the spot, there were no blank spaces.

-Producing Heroes at Haven

-Target Subject: Fire Butterfly

The elegant and powerful handwriting contained learning content, achievement effects, and evaluation criteria meticulously written not by week, but by minute.

“What is this!”

“Are you planning to kill all the kids?!”

“What are you trying to use these kids for…!”

“Is this raising human weapons or raising students!”

Even active military personnel couldn’t handle this!

9 PM.

Ruin, guided to the Night Duty Room, was serious.

‘Rejected.’

My perfect course syllabus was rejected! These damn Union bastards dared to reject my syllabus!

Ginseng Superior was about to die laughing.

「Can’t be helped! Even the Hero couldn’t do that!」

‘How unfair.’

Fire Butterfly’s eyes flashed.

They said they wanted to catch me, so I taught them training methods to catch me.

“Are you planning to kill the students!”

“A syllabus with a 90% death rate just from training!”

“Please write it more easily!”

No, if you want to catch Fire Butterfly, you need to do at least that much. How much are they underestimating?

Ruin was genuinely wronged. This was even a version where he had considerately lowered the training intensity.

‘In my time, we did training harsher than this.’

Why are kids these days so weak?

Anyway, since the ‘training methods that even the Military would die from’ was complete, he received a request to share the curriculum to be taught in lectures. Materials equivalent to actual classes, such as lecture methods and learning objectives.

“Actually, this seems like it would be easier for you.”

No. It’s actually harder.

Because the curriculum they want means ‘methods to cut off demon heads.’

‘In other words, they’re asking me to teach how to kill me and my comrades.’

Moreover, Ruin isn’t just any demon. He’s an Intelligence Agency spy. Living as a spy, he knew all the weaknesses and strengths of Pride’s named individuals.

So honestly, it’s the subject he’s most confident in, but also the most troublesome to teach well.

‘But if I teach carelessly, I’ll be fired from my professor position.’

If I teach too well, assassins will come from Pride.

‘This is maddening.’

So I thought I’d just follow the textbook roughly…

-Chapter 1. 【Shadow】

His own story appeared.

‘Even all 139 major types and 487 minor types. How very thorough.’

「…More importantly, did you really read all of that?」

‘If I’m going to be a professor, I should at least read all the textbooks.’

Ginseng Superior looked at him like he was looking at a crazy madman, but for Ruin it was natural.

‘Well, ‘Shadow’ is a basic monster at slime level, so it can’t be helped.’

Of course, being perceived as such a low-level monster was good since no one suspected that Fire Butterfly might be a shadow.

That’s why he glanced at Ginseng Superior.

‘For something treated as a low-level monster, you’re quite a high-ranking god.’

A very high-ranking god at that. It wasn’t for nothing that Ruin could grow to reach special grade.

So when he once asked if the gap between the god’s abilities and creations wasn’t too large, Shadow God said sadly:

「There’s no one as clever as you.」

…Ah, well. Our kids are a bit simple-minded. Though they might know how to offer tributes.

Anyway, the problem with Union textbooks is that their level is too low. It’s difficult to balance what’s acceptable and what isn’t.

It’s even more troublesome since the Principal, a Union Executive, is watching closely.

「Your skills are so good. If you write the course syllabus too well, the Demon Emperor will be angry.」

But I’ll get kicked out if I write it too poorly.

Then there’s no choice.

Haven Demon Hunting Lecture Hall.

“Today I want to show you an example of how we’ll proceed with classes from now on.”

The students stirred. The Principal and professors who came after hearing he would submit a new course syllabus also widened their eyes.

Not a document, but show them?

“Demon Hunting Studies is a subject that Pride of Haven is very interested in. The content of this subject is tactics, strategy, and war. Just knowing this is like leaking tactics.”

“!”

“So I won’t bother leaving the course syllabus as a document, but will ‘show’ you the goal.”

Show them, how?

But at that moment-

Slice.

Ruin silently cut his palm with a knife.

“…?!”

As blood drops fell dripping onto the floor, the entire practice room froze. In that frozen silence, Ruin spoke.

“Now. Who will heal this?”

While the flustered students only glanced at each other, Ruin’s eyes stopped on one particular student. It was Owen, the commoner-born Special Admission Student.

“You, Owen. You know theory better than anyone, but this is your first practical, right?”

“P-Professor. I still can’t properly…!”

“Not confident? I thought you’d be capable.”

“…No. I’ll try.”

Owen placed his trembling hand over Ruin’s hand. But his mana control was unstable, so the healing magic just flashed and disappeared.

Someone snickered from the side.

“They said he was a Special Admission Student, but he can’t even heal a body.”

“As expected, commoners just won’t do.”

Ruin said nothing even after hearing those words. Instead, he placed his hand over Owen’s hand.

“Don’t be afraid. You already know. Remember how the body gets injured and how it recovers. Your hands just need to remember that.”

And.

‘Since I’ve already removed Kalon’s power, I can use it now.’

Owen squeezed his eyes shut.

Then-

Light flowed. A gentle energy wrapped around Ruin’s wound, and the skin slowly began to heal.

Hiss-

“…Done.”

Ruin raised his hand.

A completely recovered hand.

The students held their breath.

“Crazy, it heals that fast?”

“I’ve never seen that kind of recovery speed in Healing Arts!”

The students stirred. More than anyone, Owen himself looked at his own hand with the most surprised expression.

But Ruin gave no praise whatsoever. Instead, he looked straight at Owen and threw out just one comment.

“Next time, don’t be so nervous. There’s nothing you can’t do.”

Only then did Owen’s shoulders drop with relief. His eyes reddened, but he silently bowed his head deeply.

The Principal also looked on in surprise. One of the faculty watching this spoke quietly.

“…To deliberately call out that Owen here.”

“Is Professor Wayne’s ultimate goal to ensure no students get ‘weeded out’?”

“So this is what he meant when he said he would show us.”

The professors fell into solemn silence. In this moment, the assessment that Ruin was more than just an eccentric professor began to emerge.

Meanwhile, the First Prince and Imperial Princess were also watching this scene in surprise.
