The Mysterious Hero
18. Mission Completed

Zen felt his hair standing on end. His ears were amused when he heard the subtle and cold voice the Chairman called his name.

What the hell happened to him? What did Ruka mean to say that?

He began to feel his face heating up, but cold sweat felt running down his back. The sense of contradiction between his reactions really made the present state unspoken with words.

The Prince gulped his saliva roughly as Ruka walked over. He saw how the clenched hand was outstretched and touched his forehead. The sudden sense of surprise hitting his head made Zen aware. But his body responded faster than his consciousness.

His legs turned into jelly-like, unable to hold his weight until he sat down. Before completely losing consciousness, she could feel a warm breath in her ear and a subtle yet cold voice piercing the bone said, "sleep."

After that, what happened, Zen did not know. Faintly he sensed there was a heat temperature evaporating from his body, forming a pitch-black aura that then disappeared, making his body return cool.

Ruka looked at the third prince who was sitting unconscious. On his forehead was a mark that held his magic temporarily sealed.

At least until he managed to capture the leader of the demon figure that made the young man his host.

"[Protective magic]"

The golden walls coated Zen's body, this time stronger than the others.

Ruka moved away, she did not even try to adjust Zen's position to make it more comfortable. He didn't have time to take care of such a small thing.

Providing protection for all students and teachers, even staff at STAMY have drained 20% of its magic.

Not to mention that he had also hypnotized all of them so that no one would see the existence of the demon, as well as pulling out the demon hiding inside Zen's body.

Really, who would have thought if the controller of the light element was actually the target of Amdusias?

If he stayed silent and relaxed, the demon would run away. Following the trail of the darkness aura that existed made Ruka find the existence of the demon quickly. The demon seemed to be trying to enter one of the disciple's bodies, or perhaps it was its previous host.

This time Ruka was not playing around like before her. He mercilessly raised both hands, which was when the devil's hands and feet were trapped in the crystal.

"Bro!!"

"Ck, [binding light]"

The demon was silent. Black smoke poured out from his wide mouth.

The sound of a stifled growl, that demonic expression was also very clearly visible to the pain but could do nothing.

Ruka's serious. And he wouldn't let anyone else mess up his seriousness.

Especially against lowly creatures like them. In his hand was a bottle of water that he had been purifying since last night. He had predicted that the magic he used to control the entire school would eat up so much. He did not want to force his body.

The spalsh!

"Aarrayghhh!!"

Well, anyway, Ruka purifies the water since last night so that the effect is reduced.

And the demons he was fighting were at least at A level.

"Take off me you fucking boy! I'll destroy you!"

Amdusias strengthens the magic around his body, exerting a strong pressure on Ruka. Even from the negative magic pressure the glass also vibrated, there were even some that cracked and broke.

Ruka nibbled her. Trying to put all his concentration so as not to break and endanger everyone.

His pendant is glowing. Ruka's tense expression instantly became calmer. Now his gaze was no longer flat and empty, but calm and concentrated.

A spirit figure like the one he was facing right now could indeed not be killed with ordinary weapons or resistance.

Everything required purification magic in order to be able to completely kill spirit demons.

The light from the locket became brighter. Along with the parasitic demon before him tried to escape by throwing negative magic at Ruka.

He can't dodge. If he dodges, then the negative magic will be exposed to the students or whatever is around. If that happened, Ruka did not want to add to the problem.

"[Stop]" At once the Devil fell back without strength. He looked back and found that the negativity magic had actually exposed Ruka. But, not yet had time for him to laugh happily, the negative magic was quickly neutralized.

"You're really a hassle!!"

Among all living beings, only they are able to directly neutralize a curse without the need to perform a ritual.

The demon looked completely shaken and panicked, mixed with fear and shock. He knew his master if the young man's abilities could not be underestimated, but if he was my enemy, I would never be able to win!!

Ruka walked over and strangled the demon's neck. From his hand, a golden streak of light emerged that slowly crept up to the fingertips of the hand that was suffocating the demon.

His expression did not change at all, remaining calm and flat.

The pendant on his neck still glowed equally bright. His white robe fluttered in the wind from the slightly excessive use of magic. The atmosphere became tense, making the demon seem to forget how to speak.

The mock body of the demon started to emit black smoke and disintegrated. From all over the school, only the sound of his screams raised his ears. Ruka did not blink when she heard the scream, as if she had gotten used to it.

"A troublemaker is not expected to be here" he whispered as he tightened his grip. The golden light trajectory in the center began to radiate throughout the body of the parasitic demon imitation.

The smoke comes out more and more once the body is fully filled by that streak of light.

"God."

Bam!

The body exploded. Ruka did not blink at all, she stared at the traces of black smoke that was still left from the Devil's explosion. He raised his palm, instantly the remaining black smoke began to gather forming a ball in his palm.

As before, he created a shield that trapped the black smoke and gave rise to a white core in the center. The core quickly broke apart and ate the black smoke to turn white.

After finishing, Ruka immediately ran towards her dorm room. Just as he got to his room and closed the door, the locket stopped glowing. The students, teachers and staff at STAMY came to their senses. And their protectors disappeared. The whole thing happened so quickly that Ruka barely had time to breathe.

Sitting behind her door, Ruka pressed down on her chest and breathed heavily. His body trembled as it tried to reach the limit of his ability. If only he had survived just a little there, it was likely that his body would not have managed to last much longer.

"Well... Huh.... Thank you. huh..."

His pendant glowed faintly within a few seconds. 'Same same'

Ruka dragged her body to get up and went to her bed. As soon as his body felt the tenderness and comfort of the soft mattress, Ruka was immediately attacked by drowsiness.

He did not try to reject the invitation at all. He's tired anyway. Sleeping is okay, right?
