Chapter 81. To My Future Son-in-Law
What else would I do?
‘I’ve already executed it.’
Ginseng Superior looked at Ruin with disgusted eyes.
「By any chance… that rumor about a dormitory supervisor being rushed to the hospital as an emergency patient, was that your doing?」
Fire Butterfly’s eyes blazed at that.
“I went to the trouble of feeding him diarrhea medicine to make him think about retirement.”
「….」
Just being framed as a spy would be the most humane option…
But Ruin gritted his teeth.
‘Damn stubborn old bones.’
Even after employing old-fashioned torture methods, they wouldn’t even consider voluntary retirement.
‘So it won’t be easy, but I’m thinking of trying persuasion.’
「Ah… Yes. Persuasion.」
Fire Butterfly sure knows how to “persuade.”
However, Ruin ignored Ginseng’s gaze.
‘I have to go find the artifact anyway.’
「Can’t you just infiltrate the dormitory in your usual way?」
‘The dormitory is guarded by a Spirit Guardian. If you can’t solve the riddles, you’ll be devoured before you can even enter.’
In other words, you needed to know in advance what problems would be posed to enter the dormitory.
And there was only one way to solve that.
‘I needed one before, but now I especially need someone with ‘prophetic’ abilities.’
At those words, Shadow God burst into laughter.
This guy’s voice was subtly irritated.
「So that’s why you were in a bad mood?」
Shadow God smiled slyly.
「Prophetic ability users run away when they see you. Because they’re scared.」
‘How is that my fault?’
A future sight ability user was essential for this task.
But do you know what prophetic-type ability users who know the future fear most? It’s ‘things they can’t predict’ and ‘the future changing.’
In that sense, ‘Misfortune,’ where you never know what might happen, was their natural enemy.
‘That’s why even my companions all run away and won’t cooperate.’
Then there’s no choice.
‘I’ll have to go to the Union’s ‘Prophet Tower.”
「Ah. Those Magic Tower guys where prophets gather and fight about ‘we must protect the future from changing,’ ‘we must change it,’ ‘we should only observe’? Aren’t they pretty arrogant?」
‘I’ll lock them up for 100 days and give them mental education.’
「…Hey.」

-To my future son-in-law.
I wish to arrange a meeting accompanied by a ‘Fortune Teller.’ Please, I hope you’ll make time.
-Eden Isles
Why did it turn out like this again?
Ruin grabbed the back of his neck.
So what happened was, the Grand Duke kept making a fuss about why he wouldn’t meet his daughter, so he just said something.
“I’m sorry, but I’m someone who believes in fortune telling very much.”
He had said it to provide an alibi for his own search for prophets.
“I believe in fortune telling for my marriage partner, wedding date, the color of clothes I wear, even the day I move. If the fortune says no, I won’t even go out. I think Your Grace the Grand Duke should understand by now.”
So he had meant ‘Are you sick of it? Stop clinging, you clueless bastard.’ He thought the Grand Duke would lose interest after saying this much.
“Hmm, I see. I didn’t know your tendencies. I was rude.”
…What?
The Grand Duke seemed to have gotten a very important hint from Ruin’s words.
“Right, it’s not bad to check compatibility before marriage. Would you like other compatibility readings too?”
No. Excuse me?
“Then in a few days, I’ll arrange a meeting with my daughter accompanied by the Empire’s greatest prophet.”
No way!
“Well, I think only the answers you like will come out anyway.”
That’s not it!
Before that, you bastard. Are you planning to bribe the prophet!
The Grand Duke’s words that kept circling in his head made Ruin cover his face with a book.
‘I made a mistake. Now I can’t even refuse.’
During his Demon Hunting class, he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
Damn Fire Butterfly, how did I make such a mistake.
As Ruin unusually tapped his forehead with the book, the students who were burning demon-repelling incense whispered among themselves.
“Professor, why is he acting like that?”
“Ruins is going on a blind date.”
At one male student’s muttering, the Demon Hunting classroom shook with screams.
“What? A blind date?”
“Professor, are you really going on a blind date?!”
The students looked at Ruin as if they were more shocked than when Haven was going to close down. Their expressions clearly said ‘No way, please tell us it’s not true.’
Instead of answering, Ruin furrowed his brow.
“…Damn. Why do rumors spread so fast.”
“?!”
They thought he would deny it, but it was real?
This time the classroom was swept away by screams.
At that muttering, Princess Judith seemed shocked in a different way. It was because of the conversation she had with her father at dinner.
“Rose, prepare to meet Ruins Wayne.”
“I don’t mind meeting him, but it’s strange. For father to initiate a meeting first.”
“That’s because you have no intention of getting married.”
“And you’re telling me to meet someone I already rejected once?”
“This time is different.”
“Then I’ll just end it with seeing his face. It would be troublesome for you if I’m too rude to someone from the Wayne Family.”
“Don’t kill him.”
“I can’t guarantee that.”
…Don’t tell me, Professor. Did you really accept the proposal?
The moment Ruins’ name came up in news of her sister’s marriage, Judith’s pupils shook like an earthquake.
Of course, her sister had no interest in marriage. So it was fortunate that she probably wouldn’t end up with Ruins, but…
‘When it comes to blind dates with sister, it’s a one-sided massacre.’
In reality, all the men who came to meet Rose would grin foolishly just looking at her appearance, then all get sliced up by her sword. There was even an heir who was carried away unconscious.
Meanwhile, the students screamed in a different sense.
“Wow, is our professor going to be taken?!”
At that murmuring, Ruin made a disgusted expression.
“Is the class too easy? If you have time to worry about such things, I’ll increase your assignments.”
“We’ve committed a mortal sin. Please, anything but that.”
“Especially when the Union just suffered massive casualties.”
At those words, the students gulped as if cold water had been poured on them.
That was because the Union Forces guarding Rhine had been completely wiped out by the Special Grade Wanted Criminal Cat that appeared in Rhine.
The words the Special Grade Wanted Criminal left behind were just one sentence.
“Give me back my precious thing.”
“I heard Cat was even asking the Union Forces about Fire Butterfly’s whereabouts.”
“What?! Then Fire Butterfly is hiding in the Union?”
Ruin glanced at the newspaper.
‘Cat, spouting useless nonsense.’
If you say things like that, the Union Heroes will find out that Fire Butterfly is hiding in Union territory.
The Goldmoon students raised their hands.
“So dad was asking how the Demon Hunting Professor will respond to this incident. He said the Head Professor is practically the commander…”
A question from the General. I need to answer this one well.
So he answered.
“I’m going to cultivate prophecy ability users.”
“What?!”
The students stirred as if asking whether that made sense.
“Prophecy ability users are just for record-keeping assistance…”
But if the Demon Hunting Professor said so, did he find some special method utilizing prophets?
“Awesome, prophecy stocks are going to rise!”
“Let’s invest early!”
“Tell your parents!”
At that commotion, Ruin looked at the ceiling.
…I said it for an alibi, but will this be okay?
“Anyway, today’s class is over. Since Fire Butterfly seems to be wandering around the Union, don’t go out at night.”
Then don’t give us assignments! You bastard!
As Ruin left the classroom with the students’ screams behind him, Lily who was outside the classroom was shocked.
“For the Professor to end class 3 minutes earlier than yesterday… Is the rumor about you going on a blind date really true?!”
Ruin was dumbfounded.
“…Has it spread to you too now?”
“My goodness, you’re not even denying it…! I thought something was up when you dressed up so much!”
No, he looks exactly the same as usual?
“No! His hair part is different by 3cm compared to usual.”
Are you… a pervert?
More than that, it’s scarier that you know his class schedule so well.
Anyway, while it’s true that he’s looking for prophets to the extent of publicly declaring ‘I will cultivate prophetic ability users,’ the real problem starts from here.
‘There are no prophets that meet my standards.’
He had stolen the hero registry and stayed up all night examining it, but they were all prophets below A-rank by Ruin’s standards. Anything above that were all veterans who ran away to avoid him.
「Honestly, besides regressors, would anyone meet your standards? Well, even they run away the moment they see you.」
Ruin’s eyebrow twitched.
‘I like them though. They’re better than prophets.’
Regressors.
Time travelers who had already experienced the future and returned to the past. They could be considered as having time machine abilities. Above all, they were the superior version of prophets.
‘Simple future sight is fragmentary, doesn’t know cause and effect, and is still an unconfirmed invisible realm.’
Ruin didn’t like such uncertain information.
Moreover, while there used to be quite a few regressors in the past, enough to form guilds among themselves, he couldn’t use them anymore. Because the ‘number one’ in regression abilities had eliminated all other regressors except himself. Knowing that Ruin was the only one who could utilize regressors.
‘If there were any, I would have used them long ago.’
That’s why his eyes blazed.
‘It would be nice if there was a prophetic ability user who knows nothing about me but has useful abilities.’
Ginseng Superior laughed with a “puhaha.”
What? Naive but useful?
Someone with high standards is talking like they’re looking for a newbie with experience.
「Where would you find such a delicious greenhorn!」

“What did you just say?”
Isles Grand Duke’s Residence.
The beautiful peerless beauty looked at the guest who had come to see her.
“You heard me, right? Judith has already recovered. Your Highness’s efforts have gone to waste. What should we do about this?”
“…”
The one who had come to see Judith’s older sister, Rose, was none other than the 2nd Prince.
“I was surprised when you suddenly came a few months ago saying you’d cure Judith’s illness. After that, the First Prince suddenly came saying he’d treat her. What are the brothers doing?”
“That’s-”
“Come to think of it, when Your Highness chose Red Moon at enrollment, the First Prince transferred to Red Moon, didn’t he? As if following Your Highness. And now this matter with Judith too.”
“…”
Rose’s eyes were smiling but curved dangerously.
“Why did you take interest in my younger sister? Does it perhaps have something to do with the 2nd Prince’s ‘prophetic ability’?”
The 2nd Prince looked at Rose warily.
Well, Rose smiled brightly as if it didn’t matter anyway.
“Anyway, it was Professor Wayne who cured Judith first. What should we do about the treatment medicine you worked so hard to obtain? It’s become unnecessary. Father also said he’ll entrust her to that person from now on.”
Rose smiled with interest as she recalled Ruins she had seen during anatomy class.
But at those words, the 2nd Prince inwardly frowned with displeasure. There was no way he could feel good about having someone he had put effort into stolen overnight.
Moreover.
“Excuse me, but Professor Wayne, do you perhaps mean Ruins Wayne?”
“Yes. That’s what they said. Ruins Wayne, the Demon Hunting Professor and Head Professor.”
“…Head Professor?”
The 2nd Prince tilted his head as if finding it even stranger.
After a while, he left the Grand Duke’s house saying he would return to Haven. At the same time, he muttered as if finding it strange.
“Ruins Wayne wasn’t a Demon Hunting Professor in the last cycle…”
