Chapter 47. Misfortune vs Fortune (5)

 

When Ruin pressed the core, the magic power fluctuated even more violently. The professors turned pale with shock.

 

“Professor Wayne! You mustn’t do that!”

 

“Your hands will burn!”

 

However, the one who touched the core narrowed his eyes.

 

‘It’s dangerous, but God’s Right Hand should be able to handle it.’

 

After all, the energy this core emitted would also be processed as ‘harm’ for Ruins, wouldn’t it?

 

That wasn’t all.

 

「If I do this well, couldn’t I extract magic from this thing too?」

 

Well, Haven’s Barrier Tower was created by the Hero and Dragons. Since it was such a tremendously high-grade artifact, the level of magic he could extract would also be high.

 

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t interested, but honestly, right now that Hero bastard was more urgent than any magic!

 

That’s why he put forth his true effort.

 

‘Dispel Magic.’

 

Simultaneously, the spell techniques of the magic barrier began to appear in Ruin’s eyes. It felt like looking at an endless wall – the pressure was overwhelming.

 

‘It’s definitely complex.’

 

Moreover, it was magic so damn well-made that even he, a ‘Dismantling’ expert, felt bewildered. Unless you were a Demon Emperor, you couldn’t even imagine destroying this thing.

 

So when he was wondering how long it would take to interpret such a monstrous magic, Ruins’ eccentric traits came into play.

 

【Natural Annoyance】

 

Extremely lazy. Full of sloth and negligence. Therefore, he came to find the best methods with minimal labor. Always extracting maximum efficiency with minimal work, understanding easily, and deriving the best answers.

 

【Obsessive Compulsive Disorder】

 

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

 

【Everyone But Me Should Die】

 

The incarnation of jealousy. Studies everything about the opponent to tear them down, deriving their strengths and weaknesses. In a jealous state, concentration and growth speed increase by 4 times.

 

Wait, doesn’t the last one not need to activate? Ruins, this bastard, why is he feeling jealous in the middle of all this?

 

But in the current situation, it was quite useful.

 

‘Thanks to this, the interpretation is going quickly.’

 

Ruin activated his Dispel Magic technique. With his finger movements, magic circuits were deleted, added, moved, and formed new shapes. And soon, a flash of light covered the Barrier Tower.

 

Finally, the barrier’s rampage that had been violently shaking the space came to an end. The professors looked at the now-quiet barrier with disbelief.

 

“The barrier core!”

 

“My goodness, he actually subdued that thing?”

 

They looked at Ruin as if he were amazing, but the person in question turned around nonchalantly.

 

“There. With this, the barrier is fixed.”

 

Worried that other complaints might arise, while he was at it, he also strengthened the spell techniques with Dispel Magic. How was that possible, you ask…?

 

‘Try dealing with trap magic risking your life for decades.’

 

Just to catch one butterfly, how many Magic Tower mages had been ground up?

 

As the level of traps improved daily, Fire Butterfly’s learning ability also increased, and by that point, slightly changing the position of magic spell techniques to mess with people became nothing at all.

 

In other words, modifying and upgrading original spell techniques was like ‘sleeping when sleepy.’ Yeah, in short, it was experience…

 

「Hey, didn’t you fix it too well? It seems sturdier than Pride’s. The Demon Emperor’s going to be angry, isn’t he?」

 

‘Well? Didn’t the Demon Emperor tell me to infiltrate Haven? I just did what I was ordered to do.’

 

「You won’t die from your mouth anywhere you go…」

 

Well, it was also fixed better because of Ruins’ traits.

 

But with this much, they won’t spout nonsense about the Hero coming anymore, right?

 

“So Chairman, please continue focusing on chasing Fire Butterfly…”

 

“Oh! Did our Demon Hunting Professor really fix that barrier core?”

 

“Chairman!”

 

“…”

 

…Oh, damn it.

 

* * *

 

A voice that shouldn’t be heard reached his ears.

 

“Finally, I get to meet you. Professor Ruins!”

 

“Chairman!”

 

“How are you here already!”

 

The professors turned around in surprise.

 

Meanwhile, Ruin frowned.

 

‘This voice, don’t tell me…’

 

Ruin slightly turned his head and barely held back a curse that was about to come out.

 

“You’re Professor Ruins, aren’t you?”

 

‘The Hero!’

 

There was no way Ruin could forget that annoyingly brilliant face.

 

The man with the highest Luck Power, beloved by the stars who were divine beings.

 

Ginseng Superior laughed with a pukakakak sound.

 

「Your ball friend is here. His luck power is incredible.」

 

Ruin looked at him like he was looking at a bug, but the Hero stared at Ruin intently for a moment.

 

“Master?”

 

“What?”

 

“Ah, it’s nothing. You smell the same, so I mistook you for someone else.”

 

The Hero’s eyes sparkled as if he was looking at an idol.

 

“Anyway, I finally get to see you in person. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you so much.”

 

Ruin frowned.

 

Even though he was sealing his magic power to the maximum, the Hero was still at that level. No wonder he was the Demon Emperor’s only rival, humanity’s strongest, and the head of the Union.

 

「Still, seeing that he hasn’t noticed, misfortune must be winning.」

 

But that was only for a moment, as the Hero started looking around.

 

The professors looked puzzled.

 

“What’s wrong? Chairman?”

 

“No, this is strange. Why do I suddenly smell demons?”

 

What!

 

Ruin narrowed his brow.

 

That dog-nosed bastard! As expected, he’s reacting because I’m close! Even when I infiltrated as the Hero’s companion, I almost failed several times because of this!

 

“Could it be that demons have infiltrated…?”

 

At Ruin’s glare, Ginseng Superior felt wronged.

 

「I’m working hard! Don’t pull my hair!」

 

Just then, the Healing professors quickly stepped forward.

 

“Actually, Pride sent us some terrorist materials. Look. It’s because of this package.”

 

“Ah. Is that so.”

 

Well done! Healing old ladies! I’ll buy you candy later!

 

The Hero who checked the package was convinced. Rather than that, meeting the rumored Professor Wayne seemed more important to him, so he approached Ruin with big steps.

 

“I wanted to meet you. Professor.”

 

I didn’t want to see you though!

 

“I never thought you would even stop the barrier’s rampage.”

 

…I shouldn’t have stopped it.

 

Ruin turned around coldly.

 

“Since the Chairman has come, I’ll be going now.”

 

“Huh?”

 

To the question of what he meant when they had just met, Ruin answered coldly.

 

“Fire Butterfly is still outside, isn’t he.”

 

He meant why the hell did you come here instead of chasing Fire Butterfly, but the Hero looked surprised.

 

“To think of Fire Butterfly’s invasion first…! As expected, this Demon Hunting professor is different!”

 

Damn it! Don’t be pleased!

 

“The barrier side seemed more urgent so I stopped by briefly, but I’m sorry.”

 

Don’t sparkle your eyes!

 

Moreover, Haven is a castle built on a mountain peak. To get to the village, you have to go down the mountain, but did this crazy bastard really come here in 2 minutes?

 

That’s why Ruin glanced at the Hero sideways.

 

‘What should I do?’

 

He hadn’t cleaned up the place where he dug the tunnel yet.

 

Of course, this place was far from the Healing Magic Classroom, and his subordinates seemed to have done well containing the curse power since the Hero hadn’t noticed yet-

 

But this guy thought of the Healing Magic Classroom as his own campground. If he didn’t go quickly and cover it up, he would notice…

 

“I’ll reflect on this. Let’s go catch Fire Butterfly together as you said, Professor.”

 

…This bastard, looking at his eyes, he has no intention of letting me go?

 

But then, Doman interjected.

 

“Professor Wayne was disobeying the Chairman’s orders and slacking off inside Haven.”

 

At those words, the eyes of the elderly Herbology professors became fierce.

 

That young guy again?

 

“Didn’t Professor Wayne say he felt curse power inside the facility.”

 

“There actually was a package sent by Pride.”

 

Doman spoke as if that was exactly it.

 

“Excuse me, but my sealing magic level isn’t that low. It’s not at a level where others would feel curse power.”

 

He meant that since he had sealed it thoroughly, there wouldn’t have been any curse power leaking out.

 

In the first place, he would feel wronged. He had been keeping the problematic item to make a good impression on the Chairman, but Ruins had stolen the credit.

 

Sure enough.

 

“If he felt curse power, he would have felt it at most when the explosion occurred. But according to Professor Wayne, he was feeling it from before and walking around campus. Does that make sense? The timing doesn’t match.”

 

So Wayne was about to call him a liar, but the Hero’s eyes sparkled.

 

“Really? You were patrolling even before the explosion?”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“What you’re saying is that Professor Wayne sensed the crisis in advance and was patrolling even though he couldn’t feel any curse power? Impressive.”

 

Doman looked flustered.

 

Huh? This isn’t right.

 

“N-no. I mean, Professor Wayne disobeyed the Chairman’s assembly order to chase Fire Butterfly!”

 

“I see. So he felt the barrier side was more dangerous than Fire Butterfly that all the other professors went to catch? How wise.”

 

No, that’s not it!

 

By then, the other professors were glaring at Doman.

 

“Are you trying to pin your own mistakes on someone else?”

 

“You’re the one who failed to manage the package! Instead of sealing it up for a report, you should have called the Hazardous Materials Unit immediately!”

 

“That’s…!”

 

The Hero added a word with disappointment.

 

“Arrogant.”

 

Then Doman, feeling indignant, shouted.

 

“If we’re talking about arrogance, that’s Professor Wayne! Professor Wayne filled a cadet with false hopes and insulted his fellow professors!”

 

The Hero narrowed his brow and glanced at another professor.

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

The Healing professors bowed their heads.

 

“Ah, well. Do you know a cadet named Owen?”

 

“Who’s that?”

 

“This year’s Special Admission Student.”

 

“Ah. A cadet you picked because you sensed potential.”

 

“Actually, that cadet had received a low-grade assessment, but Professor Wayne identified that he had high-grade abilities.”

 

The Hero looked at Ruin with surprise.

 

“Professor, can you sense the level of abilities?”

 

The Healing professors excitedly chimed in.

 

“That’s not all. Professor Wayne accurately identified that Owen’s ability was ‘Super Regeneration’.”

 

The Hero seemed even more surprised.

 

“Super Regeneration is a special-grade ability, isn’t it? No, more than that, you knew it was Super Regeneration? How did you know?”

 

At the Hero’s innocent question, Ruin pressed his brow. The more the Hero showed interest in him, the more troublesome things became.

 

‘I should give a half-hearted answer so he won’t believe me.’

 

“I just roughly figured it out.”

 

Could there be a more insincere answer than this? Even his expression and attitude were as rude as if he’d chewed on a cockroach.

 

Doman was about to nitpick at this too, but-

 

“My goodness. To be able to identify abilities specifically just by roughly looking! How amazing!”

 

At the Hero’s praise, Ruin was rarely flustered.

 

What? Huh?

 

“No. That’s not it, I’m saying it was just intuition.”

 

Does intuition even make sense in the first place? So think that I’m lying!

 

However, the Hero’s eyes sparkled as if feeling even more kinship.

 

“Oh, I also figure things out by intuition, but I don’t know specific abilities.”

 

…This crazy guy! We’re not communicating!
