Chapter 76. Are You Serious About This Course Syllabus? (1)
Ruin pressed his brow as if troubled.
‘Ruins… What the hell were you trying to teach!’
Even if he wanted to ask, Ruins was already gone.
The Goldmoon students looking at the course syllabus whispered to the Imperial Princess.
“…Your Highness. The professor will demonstrate all of this on his own body, right?”
“Of course. What crazy professor would hurt students at school…”
But then, Ruin looked toward the students.
“You. Come here.”
At Ruin’s call, the students and evaluator were shocked first. Because the target he pointed to was too shocking.
“Wait, Professor!”
The person Ruins pointed to was none other than…
‘Judith Isles!’
At the same time, the students turned pale.
It wasn’t for any other reason. Because hadn’t Ruins Wayne said this during his Healing Arts lecture with Linzy:
“Painful healing methods live up to their name – getting hit is a basic requirement.”
“In other words, you start by getting beaten when you enter class. It’s harder to endure than Demon Hunting Studies. Enough to let you pass the midterm.”
“You won’t die though. As I said, my students’ lives are precious. That satisfies the difficulty level.”
In other words, the reason he called out Judith was…
“That professor. Is he really going to beat up the Princess?!”
As the students stirred, Ruin’s veins bulged.
“I’m going to fix her face normally.”
“What? You’re going to hit her face normally… gack!”
Smack!
Chalk flew over and knocked the speaking student backward.
“Disrespecting a superior, 10 penalty points.”
At that point, the students were even more confused.
Wait, so he’s really going to fix her face?
“Are you crazy? Why would you anger the Grand Duke’s House?!”
“Don’t you remember when the Healing professors tried to score points and made it worse?”
“They got their hands cut off and were kicked out by the Grand Duke…”
“More importantly, didn’t the First Prince say he would heal her?”
“Oh, that… I heard he couldn’t get permission from the Grand Duke in the end…”
The Princess who was pointed out also looked clearly flustered. The evaluator also looked troubled.
‘Ruins Wayne, are you planning to put me in a difficult position?’
This was a completely different problem from alleviating symptoms.
The Princess suffered from an unidentified skin disease, and being from the Grand Duke’s House, they had searched throughout the entire Union for treatment. From doctors who couldn’t use magic to healers who were higher-level doctors capable of using magic.
But even those top healers failed at treatment! Hyenas who heard rumors stepped forward saying they would heal the Princess, but only made the symptoms worse.
After that, the Grand Duke would have fits just hearing the word treatment. It wasn’t for nothing that there were rumors about hands being cut off if you touched the Princess claiming to heal her.
‘Are you kidding? Ruins Wayne? Didn’t you score points with the Grand Duke’s House?’
No matter how much the Princess’s brother had thanked him for saving his daughter, treatment was a sore spot.
‘Those hands will fly off!’
Moreover, if Ruins said ‘the evaluator guided me to do so,’ he himself would also…!
The evaluator’s face had no choice but to turn pale.
“Let’s use someone else as the demonstration subject! It’s better not to touch diseases of unknown origin-”
“Ah, don’t worry about that. The Princess’s disease is ‘Transformed Skin Syndrome.’ I can also prove my treatment method that the Academic Society was curious about.”
You crazy bastard! Are you planning to use the Princess as a clinical test subject!
Even the Imperial Princess looked flustered. If he could really heal her it would be one thing, but if he was going to tackle it out of curiosity, it would be better not to touch the Grand Duke’s House no matter what. The First Prince had also recently been flatly rejected when he tried to persuade them to let him heal her.
But regardless, Ruin headed toward the Princess. He wanted to help Judith become independent.
But soon Ruin looked at the Princess with displeasure.
“Why did you wrap your face up so tightly? Don’t you know you shouldn’t do that when meeting people?”
“Pardon?”
“Not even wanting to show your face, how rude.”
The Princess was flustered, and the students who remembered the ‘bandages within bandages’ were dumbfounded.
…Are you one to talk?
The gazes of students who held grudges over the Demon Hunting Studies incident pierced him, but he clicked his tongue.
“Fine, let’s start by unwrapping what’s covering your face.”
The startled Princess covered her face with her side hair.
“N-no, I can’t.”
Ruin frowned.
‘Even her voice has gone bad.’
It sounded like listening to metal scraping.
Sure enough, the Princess had Transformed Skin Syndrome of the petrification type. It must have started spreading to her vocal cords as well.
Ruin gently lifted the Princess’s silky black bangs. Sounds of people swallowing gasps could be heard from all around.
The Princess tried to pull back in surprise, but Ruin said nonchalantly.
“You’re pretty enough, so don’t hide it.”
“…!”
All the male students’ pupils shook in shock.
Are you serious, Ruins? What are you saying to Haven’s ugliest woman!
The Princess had looks that couldn’t be called pretty even as empty flattery. Her face was so bad that even thoroughly trained servants couldn’t manage their expressions.
Well, to Ruin who had seen worse things, she was at a cute level, but Union would be different.
And above all, this was a disease inflicted by Katalun.
‘That gentleman must have had good reason for choosing a ‘skin disease’.’
Humans instinctively distinguish people by appearance. Beyond pretty and ugly, beings that fall outside the human category are instinctively avoided.
Anyway, ‘skin diseases’ are clearly visible enough to be avoided at first glance, yet the patient suffers terribly.
If it were physical deformity, at least people would show sympathy, but skin diseases tend to be viewed as relatively minor illnesses, making it hard to receive sympathy votes.
‘What a nasty personality that gentleman has.’
In other words, it meant the real ‘Ruins Wayne’ was also a human that gentleman had taken a liking to.
‘For that to be the case, there wasn’t much special about him. Does he have some hidden ability?’
Conversely, the Imperial Princess looked at him anxiously.
‘Ruins, surely you’re not trying to attach yourself to the Grand Duke’s house?’
But Ruins Wayne’s move was a bad one. Since Ruins couldn’t incur the Grand Duke’s wrath, she had to stop him now.
The Princess also spoke carefully.
“Professor. You really can’t. If Father finds out-”
“Don’t worry. It’s the same disease I had. Didn’t you see that I fixed my own face.”
The students were dumbfounded.
No, you bastard, we didn’t see it. Only the Gold Gate 3rd year students had seen that Ruins had scars.
“If you don’t want treatment, I’ll stop. Do you dislike it?”
The Princess’s eyes trembled.
If treatment was possible, she naturally wanted to receive it. She wanted to do her share as a person too, not just be baggage that only receives protection.
As if reading that expression, Ruin wiggled his right hand.
“Then trust me.”
Actually, he’d cure her even if she didn’t trust him.
But the evaluator, perhaps thinking it was really dangerous, hurriedly stepped forward.
“Stop it! We’ll do the evaluation with something else!”
Someone among the students belonging to Redmoon was seen going outside the classroom. They were undoubtedly going to report Ruins’ unexpected behavior to the professors.
However, Ruins placed his left hand on the Princess’s cheek. At the same time, light arose.
“Gasp!”
Ruin’s eyes flashed.
‘Now, absorb it all.’
The ring on Ruin’s left hand glowed.
‘Katalun’s Breath.’
An item taken from the treasure chest he’d found this time, it was a Forbidden Fragment created by stealing part of Katalun’s body, who was said to handle all diseases.
This ring had the ‘ability to kill diseases’, which was a bit different from the concept of healing.
‘Disease Devouring.’
In other words, not curing diseases, but devouring them. Since it devoured the disease itself, there were no aftereffects.
In Ruin’s case, it was an item made as a last resort. Hoping that perhaps it could devour even ‘diseases caused by misfortune’. He had pinned his hopes on it.
‘But it was useless in the end.’
Diseases caused by misfortune couldn’t be eliminated no matter how much divine flesh was poured into it or what techniques were added.
Who would have thought that this item, which had become useless and slept in a drawer, would be used in this way now.
Then, the hideous things on the Princess’s face began to disappear little by little. Everyone watching the scene was amazed.
“H-her face!”
But that’s when it happened.
‘!’
While the disease itself could be treated with this, there was an ambush.
[How dare you try to cure my child!]
Katalun’s magic power surged up. It seemed like he was trying to prevent the treatment.
Kwarrung!
It wasn’t for nothing that others couldn’t treat the Princess. The reason they couldn’t even attempt to alleviate the pain, let alone cure it, was because of this gatekeeper.
Moreover, the magic power that slowly emerged seemed to say this:
[This child cannot be cured!]
Like hell it can’t be healed!
Ruin also placed his right hand on the Princess’s face. Catalun’s magic power tried to devour the classroom, but it didn’t matter.
‘Sacred Blood.’
Paper talismans placed throughout the classroom fluttered. They were magic circles drawn with blood given by the Princess. Thanks to them, those in the classroom could remain unharmed even from Catalun’s power.
However, only Ginseng Superior became urgent.
「Seed! Let go! The power of Five Evils is still too early for you!」
No. It’s possible.
‘According to my investigation, the healers who tried to treat the Princess’s illness also received threats.’
That meant it would be judged as evil. Plus there was even the protective device from the blood the Princess gave!
‘Then!’
【God’s Right Hand】
Seals all evils that come to me.
Then, as expected.
Bang!
The moment his hand touched Catalun’s magic power, a tremendous light erupted.
