"Don't, please don't kill me!"

Just a moment ago, he was still confident and now he was scared to the point of trembling, watching me slowly approaching him. He almost called out for his mother.

Sigh, it only took a short ten seconds for me to see what scoundrels and villains truly look like.

"Then speak up, what happened that made this army so brazenly disregard the law?"

"Ah, well..."

Seeing his hesitant expression, as if he was afraid of something.

I could already guess some clues in my mind. This person should be extraordinary, and his strength should be no less than that masked woman!

"Speak up already, or I'll just shut your mouth for good!"

As I said that, I even made a motion as if I was going to tear his mouth open, scaring him into changing his words.

"No, no, please don't tear my mouth open, I'll talk... Can't I?"

"Then stop playing games and tell me who allowed you to act as bandits so recklessly?"

That so-called general told me everything about himself and his role as the general.

So that's how it is. This useless person was secretly sent by the king to cause trouble. The current king of the imperial capital had his power divided by three people (the Four Emperors), which was a blatant challenge to his imperial authority.

"Since the masked person arrived in the imperial capital and claimed to be the Pope, she became the highest leader here, while His Majesty the king became a puppet."

Watching the declining power of the nobles, he could only feel anxious, but he couldn't just sit and wait for death!

So, the king sent these two generals to cause trouble under the guise of the Pope and the other Four Emperors, causing the people of the imperial capital to live in fear.

"Things like humiliating and plundering young girls are common..."

"Spit, you despicable dog, a bunch of scum!"

Yukari stepped forward and threw three punches, venting her anger at those who had insulted her earlier.

Sometimes, despite her slim and slender figure, Yukari's punches were heavy when she was angry.

After just three punches and a couple of kicks, that coward couldn't take it anymore. He had a swollen face and begged us to stop, repeatedly apologizing and kowtowing.

"Don't bother with this scum, I really don't know which family could raise such a useless dog, who only eats the hard and not the soft!"

Chiyori also looked down on him.

As a man, he couldn't bear this humiliation and finally couldn't help but challenge us.

"I... I'll have you know... I am the third son of Prince Luo. If you kill me..."

Oh, now that he couldn't win, he started showing off his status.

However, I could see fear in his face. It turns out he wasn't confident either.

"Is that so? Then call Prince Luo here. I'll just kill a useless son of his. I don't think he'll bother me for that, right?"

Hearing me say that, he became even more afraid and kept shrinking back. (Being a coward again)

"Don't come any closer! My father is a true Holy Sword Knight, you can't..."

"Oh, I've fought against the Knight King before, but he's nothing special."

Yuanhui's casual remark from behind almost scared the pants off that bastard.

"Sir Knight King?! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, you're just bragging!"

"..."

"The person who can defeat the Knight King, even if the Demon King himself descended, it wouldn't be so easy to defeat the Knight King, let alone just relying on you..."

Wow, I didn't expect Yukari's grandfather to be so capable. He's actually been mixing so recklessly.

"Hehe, how strong he is has nothing to do with us, but now..."

I took out the green stone military seal from the inside pocket of my clothes and said.

"From now on, I am your monitor!"

I raised the military seal high, and it looked particularly enchanting in the vast expanse of white snow.

As soon as the military seal appeared, everyone inexplicably knelt down on the ground.

Of course, I later learned that seeing the military seal was like seeing a king, and each military seal had a strong deterrent effect on soldiers.

"Don't come here tomorrow, this place is now under my control, so hurry up and leave!"

After saying that, the two of them felt relieved and then fled away.

Well, this also fulfills the conditions mentioned by the Masked Woman, so I continued.

"Let's go, everyone follow me to the principal's office, and then we can rest in the dormitory building for a while."

As for the two fat guys squatting on the side of the road with swollen faces...

Suddenly, a face broke into my field of vision, and it was very close to me. The delicate face that came close to me startled me.

Those pink lips and plump... It turned out to be Chiyori!

"Um, thank you just now, Juxi."

"Oh, you don't have to thank me for that. After all, they made me angry first."

"I'm not talking about that, I mean..."

Just as Chiyori was speaking hesitantly, Ryo reminded me.

"Hey, Juxi, what should we do with those two idiots over there?"

She happened to ask me about the question that I couldn't figure out. Well, let's do it like this...

"I'm talking about those two!"

I waved my hand at them, and they all looked like they were facing a great disaster.

"Does the adult have... anything important to tell us?"

"There's nothing important, I just want you guys to stop appearing in front of me!"

After being taught a lesson, they finally learned their lesson! These people...

When we left the market area, it was already late, and the sun was approaching dusk. The pedestrians on the road became sparse and cold. I was worried about the Masked Woman- oh no!

I mean the principal! I wondered if she would still be in the office...

But unexpectedly, this worry ended as soon as we arrived at the school gate!

Before we even reached the school gate, we were warmly welcomed by a large group of people of all kinds, and the cold atmosphere along the way disappeared instantly.

An old man who was walking with difficulty came forward to greet us, which was really embarrassing.

"Oh hehehe, you must be Lord Shura, right? I've heard so much about you. I am the 1,357th principal of Durma Academy..."

No wonder, although the old man's clothes were simple, he turned out to be the principal of the academy. Looks can be deceiving.

"...the deputy, commonly known as the vice principal!"

At this moment, my thoughts were the same as everyone else's: scum!

"Is that so? Hehe, the vice principal is really funny and young, isn't he, old man?"

"Oh, please come inside. Are the people behind you your proudest disciples?"

The old man pointed to Yukari and the others and asked me, while the Masked Woman also gestured to me.

"Ah, it is..."

"Ahahaha, I have long known that Lord Shura has a deep affection for his disciple. It is as expected to see it today. I admire, I admire!"

"..."

How can this old guy (even lower in status than an old man) be so good at flattery?

But come to think of it, it's no wonder he was able to rise to the position of dean.

Moreover, it was partly thanks to him that Yukari and Yuanhui followed me to live in the academy. Perhaps he could also become a temporary companion who helps me understand this world!

So, I forced a smile on my face and shook hands with the old man.

"Hehe, from now on, let's learn from each other."

I should really thank them properly. Otherwise, I would never have realized until this moment that the desires of the human world still exist. I was so naive! I thought that by eliminating the Evil Entity, I could eradicate the evil in human nature.

Underneath my cloak, my nails pierced deeply into my palm, into the flesh.

How is this possible!

I finally let go of such beliefs, to the point where I destroyed my physical body and became a half-human, half-ghost creature, and now this...

My true self is actually an unstable factor between the realms of gods and demons, Shura!

The so-called Shura is an existence destined to endure pain and suffering through countless cycles. In terms of nature, it is almost no different from the Evil Entity, but Shura is a complete being, while the Evil Entity is not.

Even if I go through another reincarnation, I will still have to face the laughter and pain left by my past memories.

But...

In the end, they all turn into sorrow, causing me to suffer eternal dark wounds.

To put it bluntly, the current me... is not bound by any rules at all. Whether it's Satan or the Divine Decree, they have no connection to me.

Furthermore, as someone who controls the Death and Life Badges, I will not fall into reincarnation again. Even if I am killed, no matter how many times, I cannot be completely destroyed.

Looking at the left hand shining with the red Death Badge and the left hand adorned by the green Life Badge, I am confident. Is it because of the combination of the two?

Or perhaps... they were originally... I mean, it's possible! They were originally two overlapping seals, right?

Well, there's no way that could be true!

"Because I will be reborn. Sometimes, the most painful thing is not how powerful the enemy is, but that the enemy simply cannot kill you!"

In a game, this would be considered cheating, right?

Thinking about this, my emotions seem to be deepening.

Whenever I am controlled by desire, like now, could it be because of the culprit behind all this!

I recall that moment that I still cherish to this day...

The sky, still a gray-white sky. The only thing you can smell here is the pungent and unpleasant gas, and those terrifying monsters that have become barely recognizable as human!

It was thanks to that battle where I exhausted all my strength that I discovered so many secrets within myself.

In the decisive battle against the Black Dragon Emperor, it seems that I borrowed the power of the Evil Entities. Could it be that by freeing them, I relieved their burden but deepened my own sins at the same time?

"I don't want to become a hero who sacrifices everything for everyone."

Although the troublesome headaches keep coming one after another, the longevity of my life makes me, an ordinary person, even more terrifying than a god. But this immense power is short-lived, and then I enter a reboot state (death).

But every time I restart, I can eliminate old wounds and keep my body from facing death!

Is this the price?

If that's really the case, I don't mind being called a bastard who saves others.
