Chapter 6 Agreements

The captain who was nearby instantly fell into a stunned stup.

The face filled with a look of surprise was just right for Fortes's taste.

"Bone Detonation - I'm proud of a move that can detonate the flesh of a target regardless of distance. However, on the other hand, the practitioner will also feel the same pain as the victim, which is also a side effect. ”

The indifferent Forts patiently introduced, not forgetting the essence of the teacher, and explained very carefully.

However, everyone present did not intend to listen to Fortes's introduction.

"It's disgusting......"

For the scene as gorgeous as fireworks, the captain commented quite succinctly and forcefully.

"You're mad! How can you witness the explosion of the human body so calmly? ”

"Hehehe...... You don't want to think about how many people have died at the hands of the 'bone detonation', and I was a little numb to see it - although I didn't have a lot of emotional ups and downs when I first learned. ”

"You're really not human...... You're a demon! ”

"I'll take your comments as compliments. But we can't stop at this 'beautiful view', and the agreement between us must continue. ”

"What's ...... What do you mean? Can't you kill enough!? ”

"Well, I'm only going to leave you alive, and the rest of the soldiers will become new prisoners in this prison."

"You...... Don't you dare......! ”

Desperately breaking through the flesh restricted by the flow of time, the captain tried his best to punch Fortes who was close in front of him.

However, it is impossible for human beings to disobey the principles of nature.

Ignoring the captain's bravery and turning his gaze to the soldiers who were dominated by fear.

Before Forts could do anything, he crept up to the captain's ear with a playful attitude.

"Actually, I have long seen that you want to sacrifice yourself for the safety of the remaining soldiers. It's quite a respectable spirit, but it's a pity that we're talking about 'making amends' rather than 'trading', and it's not just about having offerings, it's about having qualities that are satisfying to me. For me, anything that satisfies me proves that your reparation has been successful. And I don't want to follow your intentions, because then I will be dissatisfied, so I will break your intentions and make perfect atonements. ”

"In the end...... Why? ”

"It's very simple - I'm not human, as you say, I don't have the feelings that humans should have. But on the other hand, I'm very particular about the rules of the system, and you could say I'm very rigid because that's the attitude I crave. This is the price to bear for throwing away feelings and character. ”

"But it's too cruel and cold-blooded, isn't it? Is there no more peaceful and perfect way? ”

"It's a pity - I don't feel anything like that in you. Maybe you're just planning to make a hasty decision and wait to get out of this space before regrouping against me, right? ”

"Why...... Why can you see through my thoughts? ”

"Don't you understand? Because you have the same potential as I do to become a 'demon', I am just tapping into your unwanted nature. ”

"You say I...... Have the potential to become a demon? ”

"So you should give up the struggle, and instead of being unwilling to face the sacrifices of these miscellaneous soldiers, you should wish them a happy life in the world after death."

The whisper ended, and Fortes walked out of the captain's ear and shouted into the space somewhere.

'Come out!' Aiagos', 'Minos' and 'Radamandis'. ”

The soldiers rolled their eyes suspiciously, looking for the figure of Fortes shouting.

However, it was not a human figure that appeared, but three treacherous figures with a terrifying appearance and a rugged body.

The moment their eyes met, the soldiers gasped in fear.

That's not human at all.

They are a huge ant-monster, a minotaur covered in various shackles, and a crawling lizard-monster.

Ignoring the fearful gaze of the soldiers present, the three-headed monster seemed to have only Fortes in its eyes.

What adoration and awe in his eyes.

"The Third Judge hereby greets Lord Fortes."

Forts nodded indifferently, but responded rather hastily to the monsters' courtesy.

Because I didn't plan to talk much about these monsters in the first place.

"See these lost lambs?"

Fortes' question caused the three-headed monster to turn to the soldiers next to him.

A treacherous aura of terror followed the monster's line of sight towards the soldiers.

Then at the same time turn back in front of Fortes.

"Do you mean these humans?"

"That's right. Execute their souls and put them in prison. ”

"Your orders must be followed, but if you leave these people to us, we will also need to report the cause of death to the higher-ups of the underworld."

"That's right! Well, let's say it's an accidental death! ”

"Yes!"

The three-headed monster bowed and thanked at the same time.

After bowing and thanking them, the three-headed monster turned its head to look at the panicked soldiers at the same time.

Before he could do so, Forts added in time:

"That's right - this guy needs to stay with me, so just skip him."

"Do you mean that?"

Minos stretched out his stout right hand and took the captain of the ironclad and placed him in front of Fortes.

No matter how thick the captain was, he couldn't do anything about Minos's strange powers.

However, because of the murderous aura of these monsters, the captain of the human race has been dominated by fear.

It can only be grabbed by Minos.

"Yes."

"Yes!"

"In that case, let's leave first."

Dropping only this sentence, Fortes snapped his fingers—

Before the captain could react, the terrifying aura that had been suffocated disappeared in an instant.

As if what had just happened was a dream, I returned to the original silent riverside.

However, the emptiness around him told the captain that it was not a dream.

Because Fortes transferred himself and the Captain of the Iron Armor out of a space full of undead.

Return to the riverside where you used to feel relaxed.

The original immense Iron Armor was now the last haggard captain left.

The brothers did not return.

The melodious sound of birdsong pulls the ironclad soldier's thoughts back to reality.

His eyes were full of horror and consternation.

"What's the matter with those monsters?"

"They are judges from the underworld, who determine the final fate of the dead. Including the souls of the dead who were previously imprisoned in the prison, the space just now is the rest area responsible for the detention before going to the final destination. To put it simply, it is to allocate the rest area of 'heaven' and 'hell'. ”

"Will my brethren eventually go to heaven?"

"Then it depends on their character in the world."

"They are upright and dignified, I think they should be assigned to heaven......"

"Even if you tell me here, it won't help, they can't go back to the world."

"Abominable ......"

The captain gritted his teeth and complained, but now he couldn't do anything.

"Anyway, now that I'm back in the real world, I'll turn back to the time difference limit on you!"

Skimming the captain's body twice, relieving the oppression that suppressed the captain's body.

Back to freedom.

"Now that the restrictions have been lifted, I'll tell you why I chose to let you live."

These words made the captain look blank again.

"Isn't it to punish me?"

Forts shook his head with a smile.

"As I told you, I can see a little bit through the nature of the human heart. There's nothing more important to you than to see in you the potential for more playful development, and that's it. ”

"Sounds like it's like a toy for you. Aren't you afraid that I will go back and report this matter to the top of the government? It is a crime to massacre an army like this, but it will make you guilty. ”

"Even so—I'm already a thorn in your government's side, right?"

"That's right......

"Besides, I don't believe that a government with a high level of self-esteem would let the people know - how humiliating it is for a mere C-level mentor to easily kill a government soldier?"

"This ......"

"So you know what to do, right? Go back and report to your superiors, so that he will know that I am displeased with their actions, and let them restrain their actions a little. ”

"Intimidation is intimidation, why don't you send my head to the government as a warning?"

Forts shook his head disapprovingly, smiling as if he was mocking the captain's innocence.

"Isn't it more intimidating to have a human head that can accurately describe the horror of the scene than a cold and lifeless head?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will expose your abilities?"

"I've never worried that I'll run into enemies that target my abilities, but rather that I've hoped to meet enemies that are strong enough to kill me. That's right - there just so there is something I want to ask you, a soldier from the government department. ”

"What's the matter?"

"There is talk of the government's collusion with the 'Black Snake'."

"Collusion? How could I possibly know such a thing? ”

The captain asked rhetorically with a smile on his face.

It didn't look like a lie, and Fortes wasn't too suspicious.

"I don't know, I'll just ask something else - I'm not very confident in your execution, but I'll ask. Do you have a clue about last night's case in the Wealthy District? ”

"What? Are you curious about this? ”

"Let's be honest - I'm currently secretly investigating the Black Snake that attacked the academy last month, and the other party is not a general person, so the investigation process is very hard. However, I heard that last night's suspect does not seem to be simple, and with reasonable suspicion, I think that the murderer has a lot to do with Black Snake. ”

"Do you want to use our government's military power to help you investigate the traces of the murderers?"

"Hahahaha-ha-I understand so quickly!"

"There are no doors!"

Categorically refuse.

Fortis wasn't surprised.

A calm smile doesn't show the embarrassment or anger of being rejected.

"And what should I do to get you to help me?"

"I have no reason to help a bounty man wanted by the government."

"Even if you are given all the glory and riches, or the power to kill the gods, will you not be willing?"

"It's impossible! I advise you to kill me as soon as possible! ”

"Well...... I didn't expect you to be so tough, maybe now the only way left is 'torture'. ”

Fortis looked distressed and began to mumble to himself.

The captain glared at Forts seemingly strongly, but in fact, a lot of cold sweat had broken out on his body.

The man in front of him is an unprecedented monster, and he endures monster-like torture with human flesh -

I don't know if my spirit can bear it?

The thoughts in my head have long been disrupted, and now there is only one thought in my mind - quite a difficult decision.

After thinking about it, the decision in my heart gradually became unshakable - since the result is all the same, the process is not so important.

The determined eyes glared at Fortes again.

Fortes, who had not yet noticed the captain's eyes, still tried to tempt the captain with persuasion.

"Still, I don't ...... Huh? ”

When Forts noticed something was wrong, the closed red lips were oozing bright red blood.

He stopped breathing, and his eyes were blankly open—

The captain bit his tongue and committed suicide.

This move became the most ridiculous option in the eyes of Fortes.

Because it was entirely expected by Fortes.

"That's stupid...... Can I, who can freely enter and exit the underworld, control death? ”

A helpless smile was given to the stupid captain.

Caressing his cheek, which still had residual warmth, Fortes was infusing the elements.

"It's not a complete resurrection, but it's enough—'soul turning.'"

Suddenly, a violent strong wind blew beside the newly deceased captain.

It was as if some powerful force was instantly poured into the captain's body, and the motionless corpse was shaking violently.

Eventually, his eyes were opened again.

"I'm ...... Where? ”

"You're back."

"What!?"

The captain stood up in disbelief, licking the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth.

Didn't you bite your tongue and commit suicide?

Forts could easily see the captain's expression—the look of surprise on his face, "Why didn't he die?"

Appreciating the expression, Forts silently raised the corners of his mouth.

Maybe that's the fun of Forts.

"Give it up - don't do anything you think you can't get back, I can pull you back from death at any time."

"You monster ......"

"What do you want to call me is your freedom. I resurrect you with absolute value, and I will naturally tolerate your arrogance and rudeness. ”

"Even if you do, I won't easily agree to your request!"

"Also, the attitude can be so tough that you are willing to trade your life for it, and there is really no room for discussion. In that case, I won't force you, just go back and truthfully convey my horror to the top of the government as I say! ”

"Wait ......!"

The captain was still confused and wanted to keep Fortes.

However, in the blink of an eye, Fortes' figure had disappeared in front of him.

Instead, passers-by on the riverside watched as they fell to the ground.

It turned out that the emptiness just now was an illusory realm laid by Fortes in advance.

I don't know it.

——January 28th——

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Fortes had a class on "Elemental Analysis" to go.

Carrying the still brand new cowhide textbook, he slowly walked into the huge classroom.

"Sit down, everyone, we're ready to start class!"

The sound of conversation faded away.

Laying the heavy textbook flat on the lectern, Forts prepared to pick up the chalk and begin his lecture.

Compared to last month's bad attitude, students are starting to accept this C-level tutor.

Of course, only a few—most of them still repulsive to Fortes.

For this group of students with strong self-esteem, being able to stop the noise is the greatest respect for Fortes.

This is also a problem that Fortes has to solve.

Although he has not made any positive improvements at all this month.

After all, mentoring is not his profession -

"But before I start class, I still have to follow the instructions of the academy to announce something."

Put the chalk back into the chalkboard slot again.

He looked disapprerovingly at the forty or so students.

"Recently, there has been a large-scale murder outside the academy, and I heard that it is a serious situation that even the government cannot solve. In order to track the suspect's whereabouts, most of the town has been cordoned off, so don't run there if it's okay. ”

"I have a problem."

A male student wearing thick-rimmed glasses suddenly raised his hand.

Forts had already guessed the question of the male classmate, and looked at it indifferently.

"Please."

The male classmate stood up without fear, and glared at Forts with a determined look in his eyes—ready to question Fortes.

"Does the academy have any measures in place to prevent suspects?"

"Of course it's done. After all, during the school council meeting, the dean had reminded him many times. ”

"Reminders do not mean that mentors are capable of defending themselves against suspects."

"Yes, indeed!"

"In other words, can we, as students, really trust the Academy?"

"Seems to be suspicious of the head of the house in your tone?"

Calm and relaxed, Fortes inquired about the male classmate's thoughts in a somewhat interested tone.

Of course – the answer is all written on the male classmate's face.

"Not only are we questioning the ability of the dean, but we are questioning all of the college's precautionary measures."

"Uh-huh! Skepticism is also warranted, after all, such a serious attack only occurred last month. ”

In an undeniable tone, Fords smiled in agreement.

I had already expected the panic of my classmates.

In fact, it was not only the male classmate in front of him, but in fact, every classmate had uneasy doubts on their faces.

Although I had this premonition for a long time, I still haven't thought about how to appease my classmates.

Anyway, I'm not afraid of the other party's sudden attack.

I know this best.

"Don't worry, now you are just studying hard, and the affairs outside the school will be left to the tutor."

"It's really hard to focus in this dilemma – why don't we make a deal with the school?"

"Agreements? What do you little devils want to do? ”

"Instead of living life in fear every day, let's take the initiative and take control of our lives."

"You want to find and subdue the suspect yourself?"

"That's right."

How confident and masculine the male student's face is.

He wasn't joking with Fortes.

A child of this age is so strong--Forts secretly commented on this childish decision.
