"Hey, Prisoner 988 it's torture time!"

A person dressed in a completely black outfit entered the prison.

His face was covered due to the oversized helmet he was wearing.

pressing the boy onto the ground he brought the knife closer to his face and traced it down his face.

"Khhaaaaa!"

He screamed in agony as a long red scar traced down half of his handsome face. Ignoring his screams, he continued to cut his face.

Haaa…stop!…stop!…p-please."

"Huh. So you finally said something. I thought that due to this immense torture you would have already lost your mind." He was quite surprised as the kid who was getting tortured was approximately thirteen or fourteen years old but still was sane.

"Kid, what is your name?"

"Haaa…haaa…"

Instead of an answer, he was met with the boy's rough breathing. Standing up and leaning his body forward to take a better look at him, he noticed that the boy's eyes were not focused. They seemed rather dull.

'Did he finally break?'

Getting on his knee, he fed them that boy with another potion. The injuries in his body healed at an even faster pace.

He wanted to confirm it.

Taking out the dagger, he traced it along the boy's face once again. Fresh blood dripped down from the side of his face.

His face froze as he looked at the boy who was not screaming.

'So he broke. What a shame, if he just had accepted their offer then it would be better for him, but the milk is already spilled. We can't do anything about spilled milk.' He thought while leaving the prison.

***

"Ahhhhh!" Ray screamed at the top of his lungs as he woke up.

He wrapped his arms around his body as he shivered.

Absolute silence enshrouded the world.

"Haa...haa..."

Breaking the silence was the sound of someone's rough breathing echoing throughout the space.

Rubble and debris appeared everywhere as corpses and limbs sprawled all over the ground.

The blue sky he knew once was nowhere to be seen instead a red sky enshrouded the world.

Ray's eyes soon paused on a certain figure who was giving out a sense of familiarity.

Snow white hairs, blood red eyes, and extremely pale skin.

The man was sitting on a throne that was embedded with multiple red gems.

But what happened next movement horrified Ray to his core.

The black humanoid creatures with wings who were not seen on earth since the great war 2 were on a killing spree butchering every human on sight.

"Stop. Stop Stoopppp!!!!!" The scream shook the whole world. Looking at all the innocent humans even kids being butchered mercilessly in the hands of demons Ray was angered.

Soon everything in front of him crumbled.

Ray, whose eyes looked dead after the immense torture was suddenly filled with life.

Suddenly a blue screen appeared in front of him. No, it wasn't his status screen.

[System Activation - 58%. Three hours to completely activate]

"What the fuck!."

Looking at the screen in front of me I could only sigh.

I have to increase my mana points and my rank as soon as possible.

Now leaving the matter aside I have to focus on the current class.

It was a training session. It happens only twice a week.

I squinted my eyes as I looked at the professor. It appears that the old professor had a transfer and for the training session we had a new professor.

"Good morning students. I am your new professor for the training session. My name is thaibuta. Follow me to the gym."

All the students stood up from their benches and followed him toward the gym.

Arriving in front of a large room, Thaibuta who stood in front of everyone turned on the lights and said "There's a wide selection of weapons here, so feel free to choose what you deem to be the best fit for you"

A large room appeared before everyone, and the diversity of weapons present there left me speechless. From nunchucks to broadswords. All sorts of weapons that were neatly laid out according to their size were being displayed before us.

As we all were walking toward the gym I had multiple thoughts in my mind.

'Is it a coincidence? Hmmm. Right after she died a new professor joined the Academy.'

I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't even realize when we reached the gym.

The other training professors were waiting over there for students. As soon as we reached they started dividing students into different groups according to their profession.

Looking at the 200 or so students before him thaibuta cheerfully smiled and continued "Before taking a weapon, swipe your student card so that you can register your name on the database. After that take your weapon and meet me in the main practice area"

Thaibuta had replaced the previous professor who was a swordsman.

As time passed students were able to know thaibuta more.

For other students, thaibuta seemed a kind and easy-going person with whom they could easily talk and a very talented swordsman but for me.

'Fake.'.

His smile was fake, and the character he was showing was fake.

Every action of thaibuta was properly calculated and had an alternative motive.

I was sure of it that...

"Excuse me, professor. I have some doubts about the stance you are using."

...That he is a slave of a demon.

"Yea. Sure no problem." Thaibuta replied without any hesitation.

'Now I am sure of it. This kid was the one who killed mia.'

***

"Wait! Just wait a minute!" Professor Louis jumped from his bed and screamed at Chris.

"What do you mean by he thought that you killed professor, Mia!?"

"Because he did." Chris casually replied.

"Let me ask you straight. Do you have an ability that allows you to read others' minds?" Louis asked starting at Chris trying to figure out if was he lying.

"No."

"Then how..."

"Because I set my pieces in such a way that he would find out, that I killed her."

"Aren't you a little too overconfident in your skill?."

"No."

"...."

"...."
