The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me

༺ Special Ability Unlocked ༻

– Scribble, scribble…

The sound of scribblings echoed in the classroom for a while.

“It is widely known that the demon race cannot resist the ‘divine’ light.”

And the gazes of the students were either directed towards the paper or towards the man standing in front of the blackboard, Frey.

“Of course, even that is not something truly divine, and it’s just a phenomenon. Due to the configuration of the demon’s mana circuit, as I explained last time, it can be fatally effective for them…”

– Ding dong♪ Ding dong♪

“…Well, this concludes today’s class.”

Frey, who had been calmly explaining for a while, declared this as soon as the bell rang, and raised his hand.

“I haven’t finished writing everything yet…!”

– Snap!

“Ah…”

Several students with slow writing screamed, but even today, the precious information written on the blackboard, more valuable than gold, cleanly disappeared.

“The reason that the demon race is vulnerable to divine power and light mana is due to their mana circuit… If you look at this diagram here, it’ll make sense…”

“Then, is it possible to create artificial power that is fatal only to the demon race?”

“Well, who knows? Why don’t you ask a question about it?” 

While some students were dazed, there were others exchanging opinions with each other. 

“I have a question, Professor!”

“…I also have a question.”

On the other hand, there were students like Lenya and Eurelia who asked questions with deep frowns or haughty expressions.

“Today’s class is over. I won’t take any questions.”

“When we asked during class, you said you wouldn’t answer because we were in the middle of class! And now you’re acting like this.”

“Well then… Oh, I almost forgot.”

However, ignoring those girls, Frey, who was about to leave the classroom, calmly reached under the lectern and pulled something out. 

“I will announce the results of the assignment I gave a week ago.”

After he said that, Frey revealed a hefty bundle of papers on top of the lectern, and the classroom fell eerily silent.

“First place, Eurelia von Justiano.”

“Eikkk…!”

When Frey calmly spoke, Lenya, who had a slightly expectant expression, clenched her fists and made a vexed expression.

“Thank you.”

However, Eurelia plainly expressed her gratitude as if it were a matter of course.

“Second place, Lenya de Horizon.”

“…!”

Hearing that, Eurelia’s gaze slightly wavered when Frey announced second place.

“Third place, Aishi Winter Cloud.”

“Tsk, what do I lack compared to her?”

“Fourth place, Olivia. Fifth place, Lecane Luna Silvermoon. Sixth place…”

Lenya, who didn’t see Eurelia’s gaze, grumbled with a dissatisfied expression. Meanwhile, Frey continued to announce the rankings.

“…Last place, Roswyn Solar Sunset.”

After calling out the last-place student’s name, Frey headed towards the classroom door.

“Today’s assignment is to organize your thoughts on ways to inflict fatal injuries on the demon race. Please prepare a 5-page analysis.”

“…”

“And next week, we’ll be heading to the Ashen Forest for the performance evaluation.”

After leaving behind these words that plunged the relieved students back into despair, Frey quietly exited the classroom.

“A-Ashen Forest? They say it’s in chaos these days due to the ‘Erosion Phenomenon’, right? Is he crazy?”

“He’s probably trying to push us around as pawns in front of the Demon King’s army. I can see it.”

“Let’s say he intends to do that, but the information he gives is too valuable just to dismiss…”

“Is it all just deception? He deliberately released such information to deceive the Empire and us, with the ultimate goal of dominating everyone with the stigma of slavery. Just today, two more victims fell to him…” 

Behind him, the students were exchanging words with cold expressions.

In many ways, Frey had become the “Devil Professor.”

“Oh my, Frey…”

“Fufu.”

“…!”

However, as the Devil Professor left the first-year floor to ascend to the second floor, his face turned pale, and he began to look frightened.

“Could you please look at us?”

“We want to have a little chat with you, Mr. Frey.”

In front of him, there were the young ladies who, just a few months ago, were his classmates, and now they had sinister expressions. 

“I… I’m a bit busy.”

“…What?”

When Frey took a step back and said that, the expressions of the young ladies turned icy.

“Pffft, you’re really using honorifics now. How cute.”

“Are you, a dirty commoner, talking back to us right now?”

And then, those girls surrounded him, muttering in cold voices.

“Do you still think you’re a distinguished duke’s son?”

“You’re just a commoner now. If we say crawl, you crawl; if we say bark, you bark, you filthy commoner.”

“We know all those rumors about you are just excuses. You even dared to approach the Imperial Princess, right? You rag.”

“Frey, sit. Hand.”

Then, the humiliation against him began.

“Are you so desperate that commoners are challenging you to a duel? Some nobles are the same.”

“If you do what you did for the Imperial Princess for us, we can protect you.”

“Do you want to die at the hands of commoners? Become a plaything for the high-ranking nobles? Or… play with us.” 

The young ladies proposed while grabbing Frey’s cheeks, stroking his chin, or poking his side.

“I-I’m sorry…”

Surrounded by those girls, Frey, who couldn’t move, finally spoke frightenedly. 

“P-please forgive me…”

And then, silence ensued.

“I’ve dreamed and thought about it since long ago…”

With a shrill voice, the young lady who was in the front reached out her arms to Frey, who had been leaning against the wall without realizing it.

“Finally…”

“Hey, you there. Could you step aside a bit?”

A low voice echoed in the corridor.

“What the heck? Who’s interrupting…”

As she turned around to look, she froze in place.

“Won’t you step aside?”

Isolet Arham Bywalker, wearing a ghastly expression, stood behind the girls.

.

.

“Frey.”

“…”

Isolet worriedly looked at Frey walking beside her with a lowered head, then she placed her hand on his shoulder.

“Are you okay? Did it surprise you a lot?”

Eventually, she spoke in her sisterly voice like before.

“Why don’t you clarify the rumor? They won’t treat you like that if they know you possess invaluable information that no one else can replace.”

“Sister.”

“Hmm?”

However, Frey, suddenly lifting the corners of his mouth, looked at Isolet. 

“Sister, you’re really foolish~”

“What?”

“Everything has a reason, isn’t it obvious? Will they trust a Demon King’s Army executive like me?”

With that, he began to explain with a mischievous smile.

“This is all because of the points… No, it’s part of the plan to conquer this academy. It’s slowly progressing even at this moment.”

“I see. Well done, Frey.”

Then Isolet smiled and patted Frey’s head.

“Heave.”

She then opened the door to the faculty office and entered with Frey.

“By the way, now…we are colleagues, right?”

“Huh?”

“T-therefore… from now on, unless it’s just the two of us, I’ll talk informally. Okay?”

“What’s wrong with you…”

Upon hearing this, Frey chuckled and asked.

“Isn’t it more common to talk informally when there are only two of us?”

“I should use honorifics when it’s just the two of us.”

Hearing that, Isolet answered with a serious expression.

“The fact that I am your sworn knight is a secret known only to the two of us.”

 Then Isolet gently held Frey’s right hand, and kissed the ring of oath on his ring finger.

“Even if you become a commoner, legally and mentally, I am still your property.”

“…”

Hearing this, Frey made a complicated expression.

“Do you know that there’s a large-scale performance evaluation next week? That’s our chance. We’re going to unfold a massive operation.”

Then, Frey tried to turn the conversation around.

“We’ll engrave the stigma of slavery on most of the students there.”

Following Isolet’s suggestion, Frey sat beside her, propped his head on his hand with his feet on the desk, and excitedly began to talk.

“Engraving the stigma of slavery on the fresh sprouts, turning them all into Demon King’s Army slaves. And for those pretty ones, I’ll make them my personal slaves.”

“…”

“There are many kids who have been turned into slaves. It’s quite cute how they tremble with just one word from me.”

After talking excitedly for a while, Frey glanced at Isolet to see her reaction and asked.

“So, what do you think?”

Isolet quietly looked at Frey, who was quietly watching her, and then smiled softly and whispered.

“I think it’s truly an excellent plan.”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Frey’s eyebrows twitched.

“To become stronger, you should use any means necessary. Using all your juniors as slaves is a truly great plan.”

“Uh, yeah…”

“It’s because Frey is a hundred times more important than the freshmen. Should I help you during next week’s performance evaluation? I will personally bring you slaves with my hands.”

“…”

“My judgment criteria right now are solely based on you. So please leave the dirty work to me from now on.”

Isolet looked at Frey straight in the eyes and continued to whisper in a dead voice, but then she quietly muttered to herself.

‘Indeed… Something feels off.’

Clearly, Frey seemed pleased with her loyalty.

But she could feel the confusion, hesitation, and sadness in his expression. What could be the reason? 

‘I should observe a bit more.’

She had been feeling a sense of discomfort from Frey for a while. Therefore, she intentionally aligned strongly with him. And today, she etched the slight gain from testing him into her mind before turning her head away from Frey.

“….What!”

Then, in the next moment, she froze, her eyes wide open.

“…”

Frey’s reaction was the same.

“What did I just hear?”

Aria, neatly dressed in the academy uniform, glared at Frey from behind them with disgust.

“You disgusting bastard!”

“There was no sign…? How in the world…”

Thanks to Aria’s sudden appearance, Frey quickly retracted his foot from the desk with a bewildered look on his face.

“There you go, Ms. Aria.”

“…”

Frey’s expression turned sour after discovering someone coming out of the waiting room behind her.

“What I said is correct, isn’t it?”

Ruby, who had neatly erased Aria’s presence, smiled and leaned against the wall next to the door. 

.

.

.

.

.

“So, why are you here?”

“…”

Aria, along with Ruby, entered the waiting room attached to the faculty office. Frey questioned them with a frown on his face.

“Well, to enroll Ms. Aria into your class.”

Then, Ruby, standing next to Aria, answered with a smile.

“Before this, there’s already a precedent with someone called ‘Glare’, right? So, with my recommendation, Ms. Aria could be admitted early, too.”

“Hmm.”

“But lately, I haven’t seen her. Where could she have gone?”

Upon hearing this, a letter that Frey had received came to his mind.

[Hero? Hero of Money? The real Hero?

What should I call you?]

It was the letter from Glare that Gugu brought to Frey just before he headed to the academy, asking if she could refer to him as the ‘Hero of Money’.

[I received a ‘Helper Main Quest’ yesterday! After reviewing the content, it seems to be a very important quest!

So, my plan to attend the academy might be a bit delayed…

But I’ll try to get there as quickly as possible!]

P.S. About the black ring on your left ring finger… What is it? By any chance, is it…

“I’m not sure either.”

Frey replied like that since he didn’t know where Glare had gone. Ruby chuckled and mumbled.

“Of course, you wouldn’t know…”

Then, she got up from her seat.

“Anyway, it seems like I should leave to give you some space, right?”

“That’s what I was hoping for. I need to have a chat with my little sister.”

Hearing that, Ruby smiled and headed towards the exit.

“Aria, let’s have a talk…”

Frey, who was giving Ruby a cold glare, sighed and tried to speak to Aria.

“Who did you call your sister?”

Aria spoke with her arms crossed and a cold expression on her face.

“…”

Upon hearing that, Frey lowered his head.

“I’ve never considered someone like you as family.”

The moment when Aria once again struck a heavy blow to Frey’s heart.

“Ugh…”

Frey suddenly paled, clutching his chest.

“What, what is it?”

“Gasp… gasp…”

Then, he suddenly trembled as he exhaled rough breaths.

‘Why am I like this?’

He muttered inwardly while sporting a pale expression.

[Special Ability – Debuff Shop]

– Minimize Mental Strength LV MAX (80000pt)

“Fufu, fufufu…”

Ruby, who caught sight of Frey in such a state before leaving the room, turned around with a glance.

[Selected Target’s Mental Strength is fixed at the minimum value for a certain period.]

“Still, can you endure it?”

Satisfied, she murmured and quietly left the room.

[System Notification!]

At that moment, a system notification appeared before Frey’s eyes.

[‘Special Ability – Hero Ver’ has been unlocked.]

Checking the notification, Frey widened his eyes as he muttered inwardly.

‘What on earth is she doing…?’

– Purchased through the use of 300,000pt Helper Points.

The moonlight characters were inscribed, invading the system window.
