38:The Demonic Eyes

"Nee. You. Do you want to die?" As she said that, her eyes began to change, and blood-red runes appeared in them. 

The students, watching the showdown with interest, started to panic.

"Oi, this is bad. That guy made Sasha-sama mad to the point where she activated her eyes."

"…What do you mean?"

"You don't know? The demon eyes of Sasha-sama are special. They are called the Demon Eyes of Ruin. If she invokes them, then everything in her field of vision will turn to ruin as she wills it. Even you will disintegrate without any resistance. That's why Sasha-sama is called the Witch of Ruin," explained a student who, for some reason, was very knowledgeable.

"Oh, do you think you intimidate me? Let me show you how true intimidation works," said Anos as he also activated his Demon Eyes of Ruin to negate the effects of hers.

"Impossible, how did you have…?" exclaimed Sasha, looking in shock at his eyes.

"Huh, did you really think only you have these eyes? Now let me teach you a thing or two about them," said Anos, increasing his magic power output. An oppressive aura appeared and directly targeted Sasha's mind. Caught off guard, her mind was injured.

Rimuru, seeing this, just wanted to stop time and beat Anos up until he realized this was not a place where people would always be on guard for attacks, whether physical or spiritual. Sighing, Rimuru decided to heal this girl. So she took action.

"Enough," she said softly, but to the others, it was a command they must obey. When they all turned to her, they were, especially Anos, surprised to see that Rimuru's eyes also had a rune in them. But unlike Sasha or Anos, hers were dark purple like the void.

A student shakily said, "Those are the legendary Magic Eyes of Tyranny, the eyes that are said to be the same as the adviser's. In legends, the adviser used these eyes to order the unruly demons. With their power to make others obey his or her will, the adviser created the best-disciplined army ever known," he explained with a lot more unnecessary details.

To Rimuru, these eyes were just for show, as she could make any being obey her orders with her charisma and aura alone. So why did she do this? Mainly to look cool.

"Stop this fighting, or I will join you." Although her words seemed to confuse the others, Sasha and Anos had pale complexions when hearing this. Both of them showed fear in their eyes. 

What everyone didn't notice was that when Rimuru spoke, her eyes activated and pulled both Anos and Sasha into different mindscapes. 

In those mindscapes, both of them went through hell. Anos underwent rigorous training where he had to survive the onslaught of many demons while having his magic sealed. Let's just say he almost broke through to the Grandmaster stage in swordsmanship. 

As for Sasha, she lived the life of a magic doll that would only obey orders, whether it liked it or not. She might have gotten more emotional and spilled some secrets, which Rimuru found reasonable to believe. It was just a little punishment for Sasha for hurting Misha's feelings and for Anos for the stupid things he did. Rimuru did erase Sasha's memories since that would be too cruel, but deep down her subconscious knew it was real, so that's why she was scared.

Rimuru just wanted an opportunity to heal the injury Anos inflicted on her and to properly destroy that fate, which was unnecessary as it looked like it was almost broken on its own due to the uniqueness of her source and her strong will to change fate. If they were on Earth, Rimuru would say that Sasha is a hero in the making since she stood against her fate and tried to defy it. Rimuru is sure she could enjoy a good show when Anos interferes as he always does.

"No, I will retreat for now," Sasha said as she was about to leave when someone interrupted her.

"Wait, Sasha, since you have pretty good magic power, why don't you join my group?" asked Anos.

Sasha looked at him with a speechless expression.

"What…What are you saying? Do you even realize what you are asking?"

"What? I'm just inviting you to join my group. What's so hard to understand about that?" asked Anos.

"I'm not talking about that. I'm a group leader," rebuked Sasha.

"Quit then."

"Haaaaa!?" Sasha was speechless again. 'Does he even know what he is saying?' she wondered. But the next moment, she shook her head and angrily said, "Stop saying such foolish things. I have no reason to quit being a group leader."

"Well, if you join my group, you can patch up your relationship with Misha. Doesn't that sound like a good reason for you?" said Anos like he was talking to a child.

Her body started to shake, and her eyes activated on their own. "I have never thought of that doll as my younger sister," she spat angrily while leaving for her seat.

Rimuru sighed and thought, 'What a tsundere.'

"…I'm sorry…" Misha murmured after Sasha left.

"You do not need to apologize. It was she who picked a fight with me. So you don't need to apologize," *Furufuru* Misha shook her head.

"...Sasha is a good person…"

'Are you defending her because she's your older sister, or do you really think that? It's hard to judge due to Misha's deadpan expression,' thought Anos.

"…It's my fault…" she said.

'Hmm, even after being called a trash doll, Misha doesn't seem to hate her sister. It seems Misha really understands Sasha more than the person herself realizes,' thought Rimuru with a smile on her face. She was about to console Misha.

"Though I'm curious, what did she mean by saying you are a doll?" asked Anos.

*Crash*

He was punched in the face, making him crash into the wall behind him. As for the attacker,

"Anos, I think it is time for me to educate you a little about manners," Rimuru said with a dark and sweet smile on her face.

'Shit, she is pissed,' cursed Anos as he prayed for his safety.
