Chapter 75. I Shall Tell You an Important Future

 

“Shadow King. Thank you for saving my child.”

 

It was the Princess’s voice, yet at the same time it wasn’t.

 

‘That is…!’

 

Ginseng Superior immediately recognized it.

 

「Oh, it seems that Princess also serves one of the tribal gods.」

 

It appeared that the god the Princess served was borrowing her body to speak. Simply put, it was like how Ginseng Superior borrowed Ruin’s body.

 

“I shall divine an important future for you.”

 

The future?

 

…A god is going to personally give me prophecy?

 

“Yes. It’s a token of gratitude.”

 

…Why can’t our Superior do such impressive things?

 

「I’m protecting you, aren’t I.」

 

Ah, yes. You did say that.

 

「This guy really doesn’t believe me.」

 

Ruin completely ignored him and asked.

 

“When you say an important future-”

 

“One of your treasure chests will be discovered at Haven, and Union will be swept up in unprecedented shock.”

 

“!”

 

Swept up in shock?

 

Could it be that the Demon Emperor’s Heart will be discovered?

 

Or perhaps… my Severance Pay?!

 

* * *

 

Ruin returned to Haven.

 

Well, the prophecy was concerning, but he had steadily received rewards for saving the Princess.

 

-As expected of Fire Butterfly. Thanks to you, peace has been maintained.

 

The service fee was one thing, but perhaps it was because he had safely returned their daughter home.

 

「You received a Wish Ticket from Five Evils ‘Hunger’? Isn’t that incredible?」

 

‘It is.’

 

He had received a Wish Ticket from Hunger that could grant any wish.

 

Well, he didn’t know when he’d use it, but having a patron was beneficial anyway.

 

And they weren’t just any patrons, but the highest authorities called Pride’s Five Emperors. They were powerful Great Demons who could even stop the Demon Emperor if they wanted. So he had to keep it well preserved.

 

‘If push comes to shove, I could ask them to prevent the Demon Emperor from turning me into a doll.’

 

Or he could use it for missions, or frankly, simply ask them to stop the Hero.

 

Anyway, the problem was this.

 

“One of your treasure chests will be discovered at Haven, and Union will be swept up in unprecedented shock.”

 

What kind of treasure chest would cause such shock?

 

And the bigger problem was this.

 

“Professor. Please accept my apology.”

 

“Chairman.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“That’s inside the medicinal storage refrigerator.”

 

“Yes. I knew you would definitely come here, Professor.”

 

“The storage condition is good. But your mind is still at room temperature. I’ll need to freeze it more.”

 

As Ruin tried to close the refrigerator door, the Hero quickly jumped out.

 

“Please accept my apology!”

 

Yeah, you’re annoying so get lost.

 

Ruin’s goal was to find the ‘Demon Emperor’s Heart’ and ‘Severance Pay’ as quickly as possible and escape before getting entangled with Union.

 

However, the situation had changed due to the prophecy he learned through the Princess.

 

‘If Union is surprised, it won’t be an ordinary chest.’

 

The contents were likely either the Demon Emperor’s Heart or… his Severance Pay.

 

‘It’s probably the Severance Pay with high probability.’

 

The reason he thought so was simple.

 

If it were the Demon Emperor’s Heart, they would be happy rather than shocked like this.

 

On the other hand, the Severance Pay… would probably be an amount that could feed the Union military for decades, so it was natural for everyone’s eyes to widen. How could they not be surprised when such a fortune appeared out of nowhere?

 

Anyway, it was good news for Ruin.

 

‘I just need to get a prophecy about when and where that chest will appear.’

 

Then his retirement time would be considerably shortened.

 

Moreover, there were many ‘prophecy ability users’ at Haven. From professors to teaching assistants and students. In other words, Ruin could easily coax and use the students.

 

But there’s something I need to do before that.

 

‘Hero, I need to get rid of this guy.’

 

From the looks of it, the Hero seemed like he’d keep following me around. If a treasure chest appears, I absolutely can’t leave this guy at the academy. So I needed to get close to the Grand Duke who could drive him away.

 

But a small problem arose.

 

“Professor!”

 

“Ugh.”

 

Ruin flinched at the teaching assistant’s call. Sure enough, the teaching assistant spoke to Ruin with a restless expression.

 

“Professor! The academic society is demanding paper submission again. They said if you don’t submit this time, they’ll really revoke your Master qualification…!”

 

Ugh.

 

Professors each have Master certifications, and while they receive basic research funding from the country, they must produce Achievements in return.

 

‘I think they said you have to show papers or Achievements once every three years.’

 

The problem was that Ruins Wayne had been diving for six years now.

 

The price for that was truly enormous. He had to endure constant nagging all this time. Simply put, he was on the verge of license suspension!

 

So the Hero looked even more surprised.

 

“Professor, are you getting fired? Then you can finally get a job as my military dog?”

 

Get lost!

 

* * *

 

“I’ll substitute the paper with an Achievement.”

 

At those words, the academic society people dropped the tea they were drinking.

 

“P-Professor?”

 

“When you say Achievement…”

 

“I’ll heal the Princess. That should count as an Achievement, shouldn’t it?”

 

I said it thinking it would kill two birds with one stone by also getting close to the Grand Duke’s house, but for some reason, those who came with official documents from the academic society turned pale.

 

“W-Wayne sir?”

 

“N-no, healing is a bit…”

 

Just from their expressions, I could tell that Ruins Wayne was a problem child in the academic world.

 

‘It’s also bothering me that Calon called him the ‘Undertaker’.’

 

「That means… he kills every patient he touches?」

 

So I said it was fine and asked them to call an evaluator for now, but everyone’s expressions weren’t great. They even whispered like this.

 

“Finally, Ruins Wayne’s Master qualification will be revoked.”

 

“Everyone’s been waiting for it…”

 

“Honestly, who does he think he is, trying to heal someone…”

 

Hearing that gossip, Ruin sighed.

 

‘…Ruins really is a famous quack doctor after all.’

 

Usually there are doctors, and above doctors are healers who use magic, but Ruin also had no talent as a healer.

 

However.

 

‘I can at least heal Catalun’s illness.’

 

Of course, Achievement substitution largely depends on the evaluator’s discretion. In other words, the pass rate is very low.

 

But I couldn’t just sit around writing papers that weren’t in my destiny.

 

And if my professor certification gets revoked, I can’t stay at Haven. That means I can’t go get my severance pay.

 

Right… so if I just get a good evaluator…

 

But then it happened.

 

“Ruins Wayne!”

 

“!”

 

There was a woman waiting for me in front of the classroom.

 

‘That must be the academic society person who was supposed to come.’

 

The teaching assistant was startled.

 

“Huh? But it was supposed to be a different person coming.”

 

Right. It would be a different person.

 

Because I deliberately had the person switched.

 

「When did you pull that switch?」

 

‘Calon was petty enough to try sending some weird guy.’

 

It was someone who would deliberately give a bad evaluation. So I fed diarrhea medicine to all the evaluators so they couldn’t come out. Except for just one person.

 

‘Only that person gave fair evaluations.’

 

So I deliberately arranged for that person to come. By now, the other guys are probably struggling for their lives in the bathroom.

 

「…That damn diarrhea medicine. I should confiscate it.」

 

So the evaluation would be no problem.

 

However, Lily whispered seriously as if panicked.

 

“Professor, that person absolutely hates you…!”

 

“….”

 

「Are you a pervert who enjoys pain?」

 

‘No. I chose her because she’s relatively fair in her evaluations, but I didn’t expect her to hate Ruins this much.’

 

Indeed, she was trembling with her fists just from looking at Ruins, as if disgusted.

 

“Ruins Wayne! That parasite who always wastes research funding at the academic society!”

 

…I know Ruins is hopeless, but calling him a parasite is a bit too much, isn’t it?

 

“The man who went diving for years after promising to submit a paper, shamelessly requesting research funding? Wasn’t the parasite title enough for you?”

 

…Ruins. Just what kind of life have you been living.

 

The evaluator looked at Ruins while seething with anger.

 

‘That Ruins Wayne treated his own face?’

 

What nonsense.

 

Ruins Wayne was a pathetic, incompetent man. He only knew how to use strange Puppet Manipulation Magic, unable to even use ordinary magic.

 

At least his genius-level memory and comprehension were acknowledged, but still.

 

He deliberately put his name on the list of Transformed Skin Syndrome patients that no one would touch, just to leech research funding.

 

‘Usually people do it for a year or two and quit, but he’s been doing it for years, really.’

 

And why is this syndrome important?

 

Because it’s been giving the Union headaches for the past few decades. Just like the ‘Black Death,’ the worst epidemic that claimed tens of millions of lives hundreds of years ago. That was probably Catalun’s doing too.

 

Thanks to that, the Healing Arts professors made a fuss bragging about Ruins, but still.

 

‘No matter how I look at it, it’s fraud.’

 

He claimed to have treated his own monstrous face, but it could have been covered with magic or it might have been an ordinary skin disease, not Transformed Skin Syndrome.

 

And what would be the reason for clinging to research that everyone else had given up on?

 

‘It’s definitely a show.’

 

He always put his name on minor research, and now he’s trying to extort research funding by pretending to cure an incurable disease?

 

‘I won’t be fooled this time.’

 

Evaluator Eri sat next to the students. The students stirred.

 

“What, is that an academic society evaluator?”

 

“Oh, I heard. They’re evaluating Master Ruins’ qualifications.”

 

Eri’s eyes flashed.

 

“You’re going to do healing in this lecture? Then this lecture will need to be recognized too.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

Eri’s eyes flashed.

 

“I’ll evaluate strictly.”

 

Yes, go ahead. You’ll be surprised soon anyway.

 

‘Just healing the Princess would be a great achievement for the Union.’

 

“Before that, I’ll evaluate the course syllabus first.”

 

She’s even evaluating the course syllabus?

 

How demanding.

 

But well, it’s fine. Something like a course syllabus.

 

‘It’s what Ruins already submitted to the Academy, so I haven’t seen it, but it’s roughly within expected range.’

 

But Eri was filled with shock after seeing the course syllabus.

 

“W-wait. You’re having this kind of class?”

 

“I said so, is there some problem?”

 

“How is there no problem?”

 

No, there would be a shitload of problems.

 

But it’s supposedly written by Ruins Wayne… no, by me. I can’t say there are problems, can I?

 

Ruin picked up the course syllabus the students had brought. It was his first time seeing the actual thing, but Quick Thinking was a spy’s specialty.

 

‘I’m confident with any content.’

 

Therefore, the legendary spy confidently checked the course syllabus.

 

-【Healing Arts: Unpopular Treatment Method】 Course Syllabus

 

-Course Objective: Experience pain and realize the aesthetics and truth of pain.

 

-Week 1: Get injured.

 

-Week 2: Get injured enough to break bones.

 

-Week 3: Get injured enough to lose consciousness.

 

-Final Week: Get injured to the point just before going to Heaven.

 

-Midterm and Final Exam Assignment: Try dying.

 

…Why did you approve this, Haven!

 

The evaluator also tapped the course syllabus accusingly.

 

“How exactly do you plan to apply this in practice? Are you planning to kill the students?”

 

I don’t know either!
