Chapter 54. What Is This (3)

 

At Ruin’s gaze, Ginseng Superior turned pale as a sheet.

 

「If you put me in there, I won’t lend you my power for a while!」

 

Tch.

 

Well, it didn’t matter. The target to go in had been decided from the beginning anyway.

 

Sure enough, Ruin’s gaze toward the students was ominous.

 

“Would you still be doing that if demons came? Wrap defense magic around your entire body to block the rain.”

 

The students were flustered.

 

“Huh? Why use defense magic? To block rain, we should use rain magic.”

 

“Is that why you look like that?”

 

Ugh.

 

“More than that, are you planning to use raincoat magic when fighting too? Raincoat magic consumes too much magic power, so other methods are better in combat.”

 

“Ah… Oh! Then if you could tell us how to do it…”

 

“Wrap defense magic thinly around your skin.”

 

“…Sorry, could you be a bit more detailed…!”

 

“Did you use your Defense Studies textbooks as pillows?”

 

“…”

 

“It’s the ‘method to protect luggage from rain’ on page 88 of the Defense Studies textbook. Do you come to class without even knowing the content needed for Demon Hunting Studies?”

 

But that’s not the same magic!

 

Besides, this isn’t even a Demon Hunting Studies class!

 

The students wiped away tears as if feeling wronged.

 

“Anyone who can’t do it gets dunked in the Sacred Pond.”

 

He’s even bullying them for not being able to do it!

 

“Still, using this might increase our survival rate!”

 

“Right. Ooh! It works, it works! I really don’t think I’m getting rained on!”

 

“Amazing!”

 

However, there were also students who objected to the sight of students casting magic.

 

“Just getting a little wet from rain is fine. Do we really need to use such magic?”

 

At those words, the Goldmoon students turned their heads.

 

‘Red Moon’ of noble will, conviction and enhancement.

 

They were none other than Red Moon students. It was the dormitory that was boycotting Ruins for knocking down Charlie, the Red Moon supervisor.

 

They laughed as if it was ridiculous.

 

“We came because it was called Fire Butterfly special training, but you’re teaching useless stuff.”

 

“My point exactly.”

 

“What did you say? The professor is kindly teaching us practical magic!”

 

Then the Red Moon students snorted.

 

“So has that magic received certification from the Chaser family?”

 

“What? Hey! If you’re going to say stuff like that, why did you even come to class?”

 

“I was curious about the skill level of an amateur professor?”

 

Have those guys gone crazy…!

 

Goldmoon was about to say something, but Ruin snorted.

 

‘The Chaser family, huh.’

 

His gaze turned toward a student with her hair tied up on the side.

 

‘Anna Hunt. The successor of the Chaser family.’

 

Chaser, in other words, pursuer.

 

That is, demon hunter.

 

A family that made hunting the Demon Race their profession, which in short meant they were the natural enemies of demons.

 

And he had wondered what kind of nerve the Red Moon dormitory, where most students were in the combat class, had to refuse Demon Hunting Studies to the end, but seeing that student, he understood.

 

‘The godfather of Demon Hunting Studies, was it.’

 

For Ruin, who was a demon, it couldn’t help but be irritating.

 

‘How pathetic.’

 

Goldmoon of noblesse oblige has no noblesse oblige, and Red Moon of conviction has no conviction.

 

「Hey, you, Fire Butterfly’s face is about to show.」

 

It couldn’t be helped.

 

‘Red Moon of the crimson oath.’

 

A place that used the phrase ‘Do not ask how long we can endure, for those who ask are already broken’ as their dormitory slogan.

 

‘Red Moon’ originated from a knight order that made voluntary sacrifices and oaths during the war with Pride. Literally noble sacrifice, blood oaths, martyrdom for comrades…

 

Well, it sounded plausible, but Ruin’s assessment was singular.

 

‘Blood rots more easily than ink.’

 

Just then, instructions came down to all professors at Haven.

 

-Since Demon Hunting Studies has resumed, all dormitory students must promptly return to Demon Hunting Studies.

 

Students had been avoiding classes with various excuses, but among them, Red Moon was giving completely unreasonable reasons.

 

“Professor, did you receive ‘certification’ from the Chaser family before taking this position?”

 

‘How insolent.’

 

If Gold Gate’s principle was ‘bloodline reproduction,’ then Red Moon was about ‘enhancement.’ For instance, enhancing the body, or strengthening swordsmanship or magic, exploding anything beyond its critical point.

 

Accordingly, there were many children of generals and knight families connected to the military. So he was quite curious why among bloodlines, the royal bloodlines – the 1st Prince and 2nd Prince – were in Red Moon instead of Gold Gate, but that wasn’t important.

 

‘What’s important is that the Chaser family is connected to my mission.’

 

Just a few days ago, there was an unofficial communication from his Superior.

 

-Watch out for the Chaser family heir in Haven.

 

-Since it’s a family that’s been hunting the Demon Race for hundreds of years, there’s a possibility they’ll notice the Demon Emperor’s heart. Eliminate them if necessary. If information about the Demon Emperor’s heart leaks, we’re all screwed.]

 

‘…So ultimately my severance pay is at risk.’

 

Moreover, that Chaser family heir was now oppressing his precious target, the Princess.

 

「I see. He said he knew her well. Oppression, what a bad kid.」

 

‘How dare he clash with my precious target and make her drop her textbook?’

 

「…Hey. That’s not really oppression, is it?」

 

‘It’s tremendous oppression. School violence starts with such trivial things.’

 

「You… you’re doing this to get money from the Grand Duke, aren’t you?」

 

‘Student human rights are more important than money.’

 

「Damn…」

 

Moreover, school violence could even lead to summoning parents.

 

‘In other words, opening the expulsion route.’

 

That would secure the safety of the Demon Emperor’s heart.

 

‘Well, my Superior said he was dangerous because he might notice the Demon Emperor’s heart, but actually that means the opposite – he might also be able to find the Demon Emperor’s heart.’

 

「…Are you thinking of making a student fail?」

 

‘Then would you prefer to enter the pond yourself, Master?’

 

「Let’s work hard to make the kids fail.」

 

And to make kids fail, what do you need to do?

 

“Right, I need to teach class.”

 

“Excuse me? Who? You, Professor?”

 

The student who said that got hit by chalk and collapsed, but the Chaser family heir’s eyes turned fierce. Because it was tradition for all Demon Hunting Studies professors to have their skills inspected by the Chaser family.

 

But this professor had become a Demon Hunting Studies professor without any such thing. So he might have forgotten the courtesy, which is why he came personally.

 

But what?

 

He’s arrogantly going to teach class without saying anything?

 

* * *

 

“What? Ruins Wayne went into my class instead?”

 

When Kalon’s eyes turned menacing, the professors watching flinched in surprise. Their expressions said ‘what’s this bastard up to now?’

 

“Why my class too?”

 

“Well, he said filling in for canceled classes is also the Head Professor’s duty.”

 

“Fucking hell.”

 

At the immediate stream of profanity, the professors spat out the water they were drinking and nervously looked around. It was their first time seeing the noble Kalon utter such vulgar words.

 

However, Kalon, who kept going in and out of the bathroom, gritted his teeth.

 

‘I gave him one Head Professor nameplate, and he starts barging into other people’s classrooms?’

 

A few days ago, this document came down from the Imperial Palace.

 

-Fire Butterfly is the Imperial Palace’s nemesis. We have high expectations for the one who filled the vacant Head Professor position.

 

Interpreted, it’s one line.

 

‘We’ll give you full support, so please catch Fire Butterfly.’

 

That meant the Imperial Palace trusted Ruins and would soon provide him with full support. That’s why Kalon gritted his teeth.

 

‘The bigger problem is that the 1st Prince wants to change his Master.’

 

He already had a temperament that wanted to learn only from the Head Professor, and moreover, Ruins was the first professor ever recommended by the Hero.

 

But then.

 

“Does it make sense that the very person who was recommended is running away instead of doing the work of assisting the Hero?”

 

Then a woman with a lazy and cynical impression smiled.

 

“Kalon seems to dislike Professor Wayne.”

 

The Magic Department Head, she was the commander of one of the five departments and Kalon’s longtime colleague.

 

Above all, all the Department Head Professors seemed to have grudges against Fire Butterfly, grinding their teeth to catch him.

 

“Wayne says he wants to prioritize student classes. There’s already a commotion calling him a model professor.”

 

“Classes my ass. Can’t you see he’s obviously trying to avoid Head Professor duties and just collect his salary?”

 

That was accurate.

 

“As Head Professor, he should be catching Named-level Demon Race, but he’s running away because he doesn’t know how to catch them.”

 

Actually, he was running away because he knew too well how to catch them, but anyway, looking at just the results, it was correct.

 

“No way that would happen. The Chairman’s Luck Power wouldn’t choose such a person.”

 

He had chosen exactly such a person.

 

“Honestly, I suspect that bastard is a Pride spy.”

 

Pfft!

 

All the professors who had been quietly listening spat out their tea.

 

“Excuse me?”

 

“Professor Ruins?”

 

Everyone looked at him like he’d lost his mind, but Kalon’s eyes flashed.

 

“I can’t understand how that quack extracted Catalun’s demonic energy to heal the Princess, and above all, I can’t understand how he went to bed alone while everyone else was desperately chasing Fire Butterfly, and most of all, I can’t understand how that bastard has defense magic capable of passing through the Gatekeeper that even I couldn’t handle.”

 

…Isn’t this just venting frustration?

 

“Anyway, I believe the Chairman is particularly obsessed with that bastard because he’s a Pride spy who can provide clues about Fire Butterfly. Since he wants to catch Fire Butterfly, his Luck Power activated accordingly.”

 

Accurate. Of course, the problem was that Ruin wasn’t just some spy lackey, but Fire Butterfly himself.

 

Then, the Magic Department Head Professor clicked her tongue.

 

“That sounds plausible, but why would a Pride spy seek out and expose Linzy’s criminal acts? And why heal the Princess?”

 

“A spy could easily do such things to gain trust.”

 

“To gain that trust, he’d eliminate even his superior, the Five Evils? Where is there such a crazy bastard who’d commit such insubordination? Isn’t that completely putting the cart before the horse?”

 

“…”

 

Kalon ground his teeth, seemingly having nothing to say.

 

But that was only for a moment-

 

“Wait. He went into Life Rescue Studies?”

 

“So what?”

 

“Perfect. There’s his assassin in that class.”

 

Assassin?

 

“Ah. You mean the Chaser Family child.”

 

“But Professor Wayne seems to have quite a temper too, will it be alright?”

 

The professors sighed, but Kalon smiled as if looking forward to it.

 

“The Chaser Family is sensitive to demon scent. If he’s a spy, they’ll definitely notice.”

 

Then the Magic Department Head Professor smiled.

 

“Well, for being a spy, he seems to be teaching quite useful things.”

 

Kalon’s eyes widened.

 

What? Useful?

 

* * *

 

“Since Fire Butterfly appeared last night, we’ll study about Fire Butterfly.”

 

“What? You will, Professor?”

 

At Ruin’s words, both the students and Ginseng Superior were surprised.

 

「Whoa. You’re really going to teach them? What’s gotten into you?」

 

‘Didn’t they say they’d fire me if I don’t do practicals.’

 

If I deal with these kids here, that’s Fire Butterfly practice, isn’t it.

 

「Are you planning to kill the kids.」

 

Meanwhile, the students who didn’t know this let out joyful exclamations.

 

“Ruins, you finally feel like doing it!”

 

“Finally, a proper class!”

 

“Whoa. Right. Calm down. I know you want to catch a special-grade wanted criminal to raise your hero rank.”

 

The students’ eyes sparkled.

 

Of course!

 

“Finally, how to catch that damn Fire Butterfly… Guhk!”

 

Thwack!

 

The student who spoke got hit in the forehead with chalk and fell backward.

 

“Points deducted for loss of respect toward a superior.”

 

…Which part exactly was disrespectful?

 

“Unrefined vocabulary. Use dignified language.”

 

“Yes! I’m sorry, Professor! Then how to slaughter that lowly and despicable Fire Butterfly… Puhk!”

 

The student got hit again.

 

No, so which part is the problem…!
