Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

20 – Fairy Fruit. (4)

Damn. I’m dying from pain.

It is said that the bleeding has stopped and the hideously torn skin has been restored to some extent…… Perhaps because it was such a large wound, his left shoulder and upper arm looked like a rag.

What on earth is this?

Asti slightly stopped the steps he was planning to take to the healing center.

“A healing center like that? “It won’t have any real effect anyway.”

“Why?”

“You signed a contract with me. I was going to say this last time, but the priest’s healing isn’t that useful to you. “It was a good thing you refused to heal John earlier.”

…… Ah.

A setting came to mind only then. The setting is that the healing effect of a priest is halved for the devil’s contract. sh*t. After about ten years, there were some settings that I had forgotten whether I knew it or not.

She said that because I received some of the devil’s power, the divine power would not work well for me.

“So let’s just go somewhere where there aren’t many people. “It’s annoying when there’s a fuss for no reason.”

Her words were valid. If it is revealed that I am seriously injured, there will be an uproar at the Academy and in Lancel. It was difficult to create a new commotion that did not exist in the original work.

In a place with few people, Asti injected me with powerful magical energy. It was a magical power on a completely different level from the magical power she had injected into my arm earlier, and the arm that had turned hideous was restored in an instant. Almost to the point of being clean.

“That’s amazing.”

The corner of Asti’s mouth slightly rises in pure admiration. Suddenly, I had a question. How does Asti have such high proficiency in her healing magic? She asked out of curiosity, and she answered.

“I was once an angel in heaven. So I saved a lot of people. Even if I didn’t like it, I had no choice but to become skilled. “It’s a story from so long ago that you wouldn’t even think about it.”

Although she already knew this, she nodded. Was it because she had been an angel for so long that she had no choice but to be good at it?

“I guess so.”

“Anyway…… Thanks. “Thanks to you, I survived.”

“If you are grateful…… Know? “Now that the work is almost over, I’d like to get some compensation for what I didn’t get.”

“Go to the mansion.”

“Okay. Oh, just a moment before that.”

“Huh?”

“I mean clothes. “If things go back to that way, you know that all the hard work I’ve done will be of no use, right?”

“Ah. That’s right.”

“Wait. “It’ll be over soon.”

Today, I felt like I was indebted to Asti in many ways. Her magic was truly all-purpose, and her tattered and blood-stained clothes instantly regained their original appearance.

If she were a high-ranking demon, would she be able to use magic like that easily? Anyway, Asti and I immediately boarded the carriage heading to the mansion. Since the carriage was always waiting around this time, she was able to return to the mansion in an instant.

I was fiddling with the fairy fruit in my room. If I hadn’t received strength from Asti, I wouldn’t have known at all, but now I knew.

What an absurd amount of magic power this is.

It is not for nothing that Ruslan was able to become stronger so quickly. The problem is how to process this…….

Wouldn’t it be possible to make it in the form of a drink? The ingredients won’t change anyway. In the end, we need the magic contained within it.

No, then there is no need to make it so complicated.

Isn’t it okay to just ask Asti? It wouldn’t be that difficult for her to compress the enormous magical power contained in her fairy fruit and turn it into a simple snack.

Anyway, Asti will come to my room soon to collect her payment, so she can just ask then. If you think about it, this is closer to overtime, so you may have to pay something else.

Give me a little more in return…… Well, rather than that, you could just listen to what he asks.

Not long after, I heard a knock on my door.

It was Asti.

“Come in.”

“What are you doing?”

“I was thinking about how to give the fairy fruit to Ruslan.”

“You’re giving that to her? Why? “Wasn’t that what you were trying to eat?”

I shook my head at her question.

“No. “Even if I tried, I couldn’t be effective.”

“Then why?”

“It just worked out well. I was going to explain anyway…… You need to know what the hell I do. Because you are helping me with my work.”

“Yes.”

Then she nodded her head.

“Actually, I don’t know if my plan will work out…… Still, I’ll just give you a rough idea. “I plan to make Ruslan and the people around him stronger.”

“…… What? Makes you stronger?”

“A great crisis will come to this world, that is, the human world.”

“A big crisis is coming? Here? Why?”

“You’re a devil too, so you probably know it well. “The number of demons that have appeared in the human world right now is quite large.”

“…… Yes.”

“And angels are always keeping a close eye on demons. None other than through the influence of the church.”

“That’s right.”

“If the devil’s involvement turns out to be more than expected, what action will the angels take?”

“Similarly, we will intervene in the human world. “The moment the human world is breached, hell and heaven are connected.”

“I know that situation will come someday. I have no intention of stopping it. There has already been enough devil intervention in the human world, and there are a lot of damn devils in this world. To put it bluntly, there are other devils besides you at Selus Academy.”

“Did you know?”

“Asti. I know your true name, but you just don’t know it. “As far as I know, the only person who knows your true name is Deus, the heavenly god.”

“…… “That too.”

“Anyway, it will happen soon. “The devils inside the academy will be secretly targeting Ruslan.”

“Ruslan? Ah.”

“Even the devils don’t know much now. This guy is a huge guy. “If a hero emerges from the human side who will turn the world upside down, it will be Ruslan.”

“Is it that much? No, more than that, how on earth do you know such things? It’s my true name, and what’s to come in the future…… “Did you really see the future?”

“It’s similar. “That’s how I found out.”

“How?”

“I can’t say that much. “I don’t think you will believe me when I tell you.”

“…… For now, okay. So your plan is to make those guys and Ruslan a hero?”

“That’s right. Ruslan, and Aris, Diana, and John. These guys have tremendous growth potential. “Those guys are needed to prevent the human world from being torn apart.”

“So you broke Aris’ spirit like that? “Looking at you today, it doesn’t seem normal at all.”

“That’s why I’m worried. I should have been fighting with Aris in the first place, but why did it get so twisted…….”

“What?”

“I didn’t treat Aris that way for no reason. He shouldn’t have had any regrets towards me at this point in the first place. However…… “It seems like he has some regrets towards me.”

“Then isn’t that future wrong?”

“That’s not it. In general, everything that is going to happen is happening. “Right away, you approached me.”

“Ah.”

“That’s why I don’t sit idly by and watch what I saw then. That’s why things about Aris are more troublesome. This time, he almost died because of that regret. He should never die. “I have to help Ruslan and save the human world.”

“…… Hmm. Then what about you? “What is your future?”

“My future? “It’s simple.”

I spoke to Asti.

“I will be killed by these guys in the future.”

“…… What?”

Asty’s expression hardened. She asked me back, as if I didn’t really understand what I had just heard.

“Now, wait a minute. What did you just say? Are you going to die? You?”

“Okay. Isn’t that a good thing for you? “I don’t think there’s anything to be embarrassed about since you’re getting away from me.”

“No, how can I not be embarrassed when he says out loud that he is going to die? And what should I pay if you die?”

“What is that…?” … “Isn’t it okay to just cheat on other people like you tried to scam me?”

“No. “In the first place, it’s rare to find someone with as high-quality emotions as you.”

I laughed for no reason because she seemed genuinely embarrassed. After all, Astaroth is too kind for a devil. So he made a deal with the guy.

Asti looked at me quizzically, probably because she heard me laughing.

“Why are you smiling? Is now the time to laugh?”

“No, because your reaction is too funny. Aren’t you too kind for a devil? It seems like you’re worried about me knowingly or unknowingly, but don’t worry. I don’t plan on dying that easily. I said it. The future related to Aris has changed. “Then wouldn’t it be possible to somehow avoid a future in which I die?”

“Ah.”

A hot flush rose to Asti’s face. The red cheeks were once again cute. This guy was more fun to make fun of than I thought.

“Who was worried about whom? That’s enough, give me your blood.”

“Yes.”

She spoke with her head slightly turned, her eyes half closed and a gloomy expression on her face. She must have thought she was making fun of me, so she demanded the return she had promised.

I thrust my neck towards him with a smiling expression on my face.

And then, I felt a familiar yet stinging pain.
