Chapter 89. Humanity’s First Discovery Was an Apple (1)
“You have an artifact that kidnapped Charlie and the student, right?”
“!”
No matter how much of a fool Charlie might be, he’s Haven’s Self-Defense Professor and a high-ranking hero.
Well, the reason he got into trouble this time seems largely due to the influence of ‘Misfortune’ that I deliberately set up to make him resign, but anyway-
“Even if the Self-Defense Professor was kidnapped, he’s not someone who can’t get out. It must be an artifact that confines people in a ‘special space’ like subspace.”
“…!”
“But to confine a high-ranking hero, it would need to be at least special-grade level. But there’s no way a mere student could obtain something like that. Who gave it to you?”
So.
“I’m asking who’s behind you.”
Right, is that bastard really the regressor? Only someone of that caliber could possess such an artifact.
“So such an item is mine, no, such an item is subject to confiscation as a professor.”
「…Excuse me? The logic starts getting weird from the middle?」
‘If I have that, I can confine any witnesses if they appear while searching for treasure chests. I absolutely need it.’
Above all, the Hero was still suspicious of him. The prophets’ abilities were absolutely necessary.
Meanwhile, Kedrick’s body trembled.
“It would be better for you to speak quickly.”
At those words, Kedrick’s face contorted.
Was he threatening him? But he wouldn’t submit to threats….
But then, Ruin shoved a prettily carved rabbit apple into the bound Kedrick’s mouth.
“Mmph!”
“I said it would be better to speak. I’ve also lost precious students and colleagues, so I don’t know how I might act.”
Kedrick shuddered at those murderous eyes with the apple in his mouth.
What is this apple? Is it an apple with truth serum? …Will he make me suffer if I don’t speak?
Kedrick quickly spat out the apple and said.
“I can’t tell… Mmph!”
Ruin picked up the black tea pot. Then he poured it into Kedrick’s mouth with a trickle.
“This consultation will take a while.”
“Cough! Gah! Gurgle!”
Tears came to Kedrick’s eyes.
Damn it, this isn’t consultation, it’s torture! Shit!
Ginseng Superior also sighed and said a word.
「Hey hey, he’s still a kid to be called a Union soldier. Isn’t truth serum and torture too harsh?」
However, Ruin tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
Truth serum? Torture?
‘It’s refreshments for consultation.’
Didn’t he say it was consultation in the first place? Since he’s a professor, he’s being considerate during consultation. He just fed him since the student was tied up and had no hands.
‘Actually, the black tea temperature is only 60 degrees. At this level, it’s a low temperature that even a novice spy could endure.’
「He’s not a spy!」
Finally, Kedrick, thinking he would die, opened his mouth.
“It was a commission! But I can’t tell you about the client either.”
“Oh. You can’t tell?”
Kedrick smiled confidently.
“Yes. I may still be lacking, but I’m also a cadet aspiring to be a Union hero. I won’t sell out my client to such threats.”
At those determined eyes, Ruin smiled as if pleased.
“You have integrity. With this level of high integrity, even if you revealed your unrequited love during class time, you wouldn’t budge. Surely the other person’s name is El- of Silver Moon-”
“Ahhh! It’s a Prophet, a Prophet registered with Haven!”
Kedrick shouted with a flushed face.
“Isn’t that enough now? I can’t say more because of the magic contract-”
“Elena of Silver Moon-”
“Ahh! They’re targeting Professor Wayne!”
Ruin let out a chuckle.
“Me?”
“Yes! The client told me to track Professor’s location. And to eliminate Professor Wayne….”
Oh, eliminate me?
“Now. Then hand over the artifact that confined Charlie and the student too.”
“That’s…!”
“Ah, Silver Moon’s-”
“Ahh! Here it is!”
Finally, Ruin smiled after extracting the artifact from Kedrick.
“Good. The consultation ends here. Oh, this ability notebook that can track the professors’ whereabouts is naturally confiscated.”
“Ugh!”
-Elaine Saint: Dormitory basement in 5 minutes. Chairman’s office in 38 minutes.
-Charlotte Saint: Principal’s office in 10 minutes.
⁝
-Kalon Gloucester: Dark Forest in 15 minutes.
‘With this, I can avoid the Heroes.’
As Ruin, having privately obtained the precious item, was about to leave, Kedrick asked.
“Please, just tell me one thing! How did Professor Wayne get here…?”
Kedrick glanced at the fallen memo.
-Ruins Wayne: No change in location. Demon Hunting Classroom.
“The mark clearly shows he’s in the Demon Hunting classroom…”
At that sight, Ruin chuckled.
Ah. So that’s why he was being careless?
Well, the prophecy wasn’t wrong. It’s just that since he was currently using ‘Misfortune’, this had become a deflected future.
There’s a reason why prophecy-type ability users dislike Ruin.
* * *
“Kheuk!”
When Ruin activated the artifact, something burst out from inside.
“Kheuk, kheheok!”
From within the mixture of dust and the smell of blood, a man crawled out staggering.
“Kheuk, kheheok. This is… Haven…? Did I make it outside?”
He was looking ahead with blurry vision when he suddenly saw Ruin’s face and was startled. He had grasped the situation.
“…Don’t tell me, you saved me?”
“Yeah.”
Charlie flinched at that characteristically indifferent answer. He looked bewildered but soon shook his head.
No, no. Don’t let your guard down. He must have a purpose for doing this. Right. Actually, look, seeing him smile, he’s disgustingly going to threaten…
“The students will be worried, so you should get up quickly.”
“…!”
Charlie’s face turned red. Even in the final moment, compared to his materialistic self, his ears burned with shame. As someone who claims to be a hero, it was utterly embarrassing.
“Especially your students from Red Moon will be worried.”
“!”
Charlie flinched at the mention of Red Moon. He seemed to realize the reality he had forgotten. As evidence, his head naturally dropped.
“…I’m ashamed. For a dormitory supervisor who should protect students to be kidnapped.”
He had no face to show the students and professors.
However, Ruin rarely smiled as he comforted him.
“That can happen. Even monkeys can fall from trees.”
“Ruins… you…!”
“What can you do about your skills being that pathetic.”
“…”
「You bastard are the worst.」
But Charlie, who seemed to have received a great shock, clenched his fists while swallowing his anger and resentment.
Honestly, he had to admit it. Losing to Ruins, and being a homeroom teacher for kids who keeps getting kidnapped.
So he opened his mouth as if he had made a decision.
“Right. I’ve been thinking about it, but this incident made me certain. I’m thinking of stepping down from my position. There’s no guarantee this won’t happen again…”
At those words, the corner of Ruin’s mouth slowly rose.
‘Yes. Finally made it this far.’
The words he had been expecting were about to come out.
“So about that successor…”
‘Right, of course it’ll be me-‘
“I want to appoint Lily, who’s currently under you, as the dormitory supervisor.”
Think I’d make you one? You bastard?
Ruin, who was about to grab him by the collar, asked.
“But are you alone? I heard a student was also kidnapped.”
“!”
Surprised, Charlie looked around.
“She’s not here?! Keizel is missing?”
“? I thought she was with you.”
Charlie grabbed his head.
“I was taken after seeing that child disappear! I naturally thought she had been rescued… Damn! Some strange vine-like thing…”
Ruin became unusually serious.
Oh no. If it’s vines, could this be the work of that problematic artifact from Red Moon?
‘This has gotten serious.’
It was probably a separate incident from Charlie’s kidnapping.
‘Has the artifact finally started targeting people?’
Ruin threw Charlie into the medical ward and quickly came out. He had to resolve the incident before more victims appeared.
But there was a problem. Since he didn’t know where the box would appear, he’d have to incite the regressor to steal it.
「Is that possible? All those prophecy types are full of guys who hide their power.」
Because they knew the future, there were many more sinister ones. There were many cases where they had the power of 10 but pretended to only have 5. It was for their own safety. Regressors especially tried to hide their power even more.
「As expected, beating up that kid Kedrick would be-」
‘No. Since they said it’s a magic contract, it must be a life-or-death contract. More importantly, it would be troublesome if the regressor notices something and runs away. It needs to be natural.’
「Natural?」
Ruin took out something as if it were ridiculous.
‘Yes. This alone will solve everything.’
The Shadow God was dumbfounded by the item Ruin held.
「An apple?」

Haven’s morning.
A student who had a prophet as a roommate witnessed something strange.
“Hey. Why aren’t you getting up? You need to go to class.”
However, the student who was called only hid under the blanket and trembled.
“Fuck, I’m going to die today. I’m going to die.”
“…What? What do you mean?”
At that moment, an explosion sound occurred in the dormitory.
* * *
A strange scene was unfolding at the academy.
Crack!
“Argh!”
Smack!
“Aaaaagh!”
Loud noises and screams echoed throughout the campus. All the students widened their eyes and looked somewhere. There, specific students were collapsed, clutching their waists or heads.
Even saying strange things.
“Urgh! I blocked it, so why!”
“Damn it, why the hell!”
The students who had been attacked by someone were nearly dying and crawling on the ground.
And leisurely passing among such students was one raven gentleman.
“Iris Reno, D-rank.”
“Kian Glis, B-rank. Hmm, trash, I suppose.”
Swish swish, thud!
Ruins, who had checked something, closed the documents with a thud and disappeared with a whoosh.
And not long after, screams continued again from a distant place.
“Aaaaagh! He’s come this far!”
“Run away!”
“The professor is hunting students!”
