Chapter 95. Damn, That Crazy Professor Bastard! (1)
Ryle opened his eyes.
‘This is the worst.’
Looking at the hospital room ceiling, he clutched his face with both hands.
‘I didn’t think I’d really wake up after three days.’
And I had no idea it would turn out like this.
“Is it true that Ruins saved Keizel?!”
“The kid who disappeared, that’s Keizel, right?”
“Right. Professor Ruins found and brought back Keizel. But Prince Ryle was there with them too.”
“Ryle? Why was he there?”
“Why do you think? Keizel belongs to the First Prince. Maybe the 2nd Prince was trying to kill him?”
“Whoa. Really?”
Ryle gritted his teeth at the chattering sounds coming from beyond the curtain.
Rumors about the 2nd Prince were circulating in the hospital room.
Of course, all the students visiting the hospital room knew that the 2nd Prince was here. Yet they were gossiping so openly like this. They probably thought he was sleeping.
The chattering continued.
“Wasn’t he absent from his room during curfew? Then the 2nd Prince is the culprit behind the student disappearances, isn’t he?”
“That’s right, he orchestrated the kidnapping incident. He was planning to take the First Prince’s people one by one like that and eliminate them, wasn’t he?”
“Wow, the 2nd Prince is scary.”
Ryle bit his lip.
Of course, it was that tentacle artifact that caused the kidnapping incident. Keizel had gone to the classroom in the middle of the night to get something, and must have used magic out of fear. The tentacle artifact, which loves magic power, swallowed Keizel whole.
Of course, he felt wronged in that regard, but he had nothing to say. While Ryle didn’t really intend to kill Keizel, he had been planning to knock him unconscious and abandon him there.
However, the level of the students’ gossip kept escalating.
“I mean, he was gloomy from the start.”
“What good does being handsome do when he’s so rude and arrogant. He doesn’t resemble His Majesty at all, does he?”
“Oh my, isn’t the Imperial Consort a bit promiscuous? There are actually rumors that the 2nd Prince was also born from an affair…”
But that’s when it happened.
“Don’t run your mouths carelessly.”
“!”
At the spine-chilling cold voice, the students were startled.
“P-Professor Wayne!”
Ruin appeared in the hospital room with a frown.
“Did your parents give you those mouths to use like that?”
“Th-that’s!”
“Only speak facts with your mouths, don’t make speculations. It’s undignified.”
“We’re sorry!”
“You don’t need to apologize to me, apologize to your friends. Goldmoon, 20 penalty points.”
The Goldmoon students squirmed, but still thought Ruins had been quite lenient for his standards.
’20 points is still recoverable…’
“By the way, that’s 20 points each.”
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
In the end, the five Goldmoon students collapsed with screams, while the Redmoon students’ eyes went wide.
“But Professor, what brings you here…”
“I heard the students woke up, so I came to visit.”
“V-visit?”
Their gazes turned toward Ruin’s right arm.
But the way people were looking at it was strange.
‘…What the hell is that thing?’
Even the professors in the medical ward looked at Ruin’s arm as if they were dumbfounded.
And for good reason, what he was carrying under his arm was none other than…
‘A flower pot?’
And it wasn’t just any flower pot.
Squirm squirm.
Semi-transparent stems wriggling in the flower pot.
‘Those are… tentacles, right?’
‘What kind of taste is that?’
No wonder people’s gazes were becoming strange.
“Professor… what exactly is that…”
“It’s a pet plant.”
“Excuse me?”
Pet, sure, but a plant? No matter how you look at it, those are tentacles, right?
“It’s a guy that catches flies for me.”
Yeah, for example, the Hero, or the Hero!
That’s when it happened. Speak of the devil, Ruin heard a dog-like voice in his ears.
“My goodness, to meet Professor Ruins here!”
Damn. That Hero bastard has no manners.
At the Hero’s cheerful voice, Ruin openly made a disgusted expression. He immediately tried to flee, but upon spotting the Grand Duke who came with the Hero, he chose to greet them instead.
“What brings you two together?”
“Ah, we ran into each other in front of the hospital room.”
At those words, Hero Elaine and Duke Isles simultaneously spoke up, competing with each other.
“I heard our ‘partner’ was here.”
“I heard our ‘son-in-law’ was here.”
“!”
“!”
Simultaneously, Elaine and the Grand Duke glared at each other in a staring contest. It was like watching two giant tigers fight. If this weren’t Haven, they looked ready to draw swords on each other.
Ruin could only look at them both with disbelief.
‘Those two really don’t get along.’
Then the Hero pointed at Ruins’ pet tentacles.
“That’s a ‘Magic Zero’ artifact, right?”
Ruin frowned.
That bastard. To notice the artifact’s effect from just a brief glance. As expected, he can’t be underestimated.
“I always felt you liked plants since you usually carry a flower pot, but this time you brought a plant to capture Fire Butterfly! I’ll gratefully accept it!”
No, you idiot.
When the Hero extended his hand gratefully, Ruins quickly turned the flower pot away.
“It’s mine.”
“Pardon?”
“It’s my pet plant that I’m raising. Don’t touch it.”
“…!”
The Hero looked moved. Usually when professors brought such items, they would give them to the Hero. It meant entrusting Fire Butterfly to the Hero.
But Ruins was different.
“You want to catch Fire Butterfly yourself! As expected, you’re the only one who’s my partner, Professor!”
Shit….
Ruin’s face contorted even more.
‘This is annoying, but let me endure it a bit longer.’
Why? Because these tentacles had been roaming around devouring all sorts of items from Union.
And among them were many of the Hero’s artifacts.
‘Well done, you little thing.’
Right, if they’re the Hero’s items, I can sell them to Pride for a high price!
Rather, what was more concerning was the 2nd Prince’s sleep talking.
In fact, Ruin had been waiting for the 2nd Prince to wake up. Because the 2nd Prince had been suffering and talking strangely in his sleep.
“The blessing box…. I need to get Haven’s blessing box first…. Before the Hero… spreads it to Union.”
Recalling that, Ruin felt ominous.
‘Haven’s blessing box.’
What else could be called by such a name?
「What else is there besides your treasure chests.」
Right, exactly! If it’s a precious box in Haven, that’s the only thing it could be!
And when connected with the prophecy given by ‘Hunger’, one of the Five Evils, it was one hundred percent certain.
‘So the chests will indeed be revealed all at once by some trigger.’
But more shocking than those words….
“Before the Hero… spreads it to Union….”
This damn! Hero bastard! Are you going to scatter all my items throughout Union!
Ruin rarely had a mental breakdown, but this was one of those times.
But around then, something was strange.
‘Then what was I doing at that time? Was I just standing there watching?’
I’ll probably have to ask the 2nd Prince about that.
‘If only that 2nd Prince bastard would wake up.’
But then it happened.
Crash!
“Kyaah!”
“!”
The sound of breaking glass echoed along with screams.
“R-Ryle Your Highness-!”
It was news that Ryle had broken the window and escaped from the hospital room. Since they were at the entrance, he seemed to have chosen that route.
“What, is he really the culprit who targeted Keizel?”
“Why are you running away?!”
Everyone was shocked, and the Hero tried to move, but Ruin blocked his way.
“Don’t worry. I’ll catch him and bring him back.”
* * *
“Huff, huff.”
Ryle, who had escaped from the hospital room, moved urgently. He quickly ran toward the Survival Forest.
‘Damn. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.’
Ruins Wayne had discovered his identity. Even worse, when he woke up, all the artifacts he had were stolen.
‘This life is meaningless.’
But it didn’t matter.
‘I’ll just commit suicide and…’
“You’re thinking that if you commit suicide and go back, that’ll be the end of it.”
“?!”
With a familiar voice, Ryle screamed. Then tentacle vines flew quickly and rapidly wrapped around Ryle.
“Urgh!”
Ryle, bound tightly around his arms, legs, and torso, struggled, but with his magic power drained, he couldn’t move.
Ruin, holding a mini flower pot, slowly approached with a smile.
“Your Highness would know the power of this artifact better. It seems you were probably killed by this thing.”
“…!”
Urgh, that bastard!
I’ll die quickly and return to the past!
He drew the dagger he had been hiding.
However, Ruins, who had approached Ryle in the blink of an eye, chuckled.
“Well, you can die if you want, but will you really be able to regress this time?”
Ryle was dumbfounded.
What nonsense is this bastard spouting…
“While you were sleeping, I set up a little device. I need to investigate the charges of attempting to kill a Haven student. It would be troublesome if you ran away irresponsibly.”
What?
“What do you mean…”
Instead of answering, Ruin tapped the back of his own hand.
Seeing this, Ryle looked at the back of his own hand and was startled. A tattoo he had never seen before was carved on the back of his hand.
Sure enough, Ruin’s approaching golden eyes flashed.
“Your Highness can no longer regress. Even if you die, you’ll just die as is.”
What’s going on?
“Ability Nullification. That’s my ability.”
Ryle was flabbergasted.
Did he expect him to believe that?
“Stop your nonsense! Your ability is Puppet Arts! Where are you trying to deceive…”
“Real heroes always hide their abilities.”
“…!”
“Actually, your ability didn’t work on me at all, did it?”
“Urgh…!”
As Ryle bit his lips, Ruin’s eyes glowed dangerously. The flickering light in the darkness was like a butterfly from hell.
“Why? If you still can’t believe it, why don’t you try dying?”
Ryle’s hands trembled. He smiled like a devil mocking the Union.
“After you die, will it be the past you regressed to? Or will it be a dog’s death? Go ahead and test it.”
…This bastard?
