Immortal Creed
Chapter 163: Demonic Disaster
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Liens knocked on the Dean's door.
"Come in."
The Dean's voice came from inside the room.
Having received permission, Liens pushed open the door and walked in, then casually surveyed the room.
The scene inside the room hadn't changed from before.
The Dean was still sitting behind his desk, like an NPC that only refreshed in a fixed position.
"Dean, is there something urgent you needed me for?"
Liens asked the Dean.
"It's nothing urgent; it's just that Teacher Locke complained to me about you."
"He said that your existence caused his original teaching plan to go awry, and he also said you incited the students to insult him."
"However, after my investigation, I confirmed that this has nothing to do with you."
The Dean slowly explained.
"Uh, Teacher Locke actually complained about me? This is really…"
Liens was a bit speechless.
He couldn't even be bothered with this weakling, but he didn't expect this guy to get so arrogant.
It seemed necessary to teach that Locke a lesson later, lest he think Liens was some good person with no temper.
"Teacher Locke's matter is not important. What's important is that I hope Teacher Heier will be a bit more restrained when teaching in the future."
"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Teacher Heier's teaching content."
"I just hope you don't display overly Extraordinary things in front of the students."
The Dean exhorted Liens.
"Hmm, why?"
Liens expressed his confusion.
"The existence of the Extraordinary One is not a secret to ordinary people, but at the same time, it is a secret."
"Many people know about the existence of Extraordinary Ones; this is the result of various major forces and countries deliberately spreading this information."
"The purpose is to give ordinary people a certain degree of confidence."
"After all, in a world full of Demons, the legend of the Extraordinary One is the last bastion in the hearts of most ordinary people."
"Even if they don't believe in the national army, they will believe that heroes will save them from the Demon Disaster, just like in stories."
"This is about the 'Demon Disaster' story. Although the legends in various places might be slightly different, you must have heard of it, right?"
The Dean asked Liens.
"Hmm, I have heard of the legend of the 'Demon Disaster'."
"Rumor has it that a 'Demon Disaster' descends every few hundred years."
"At that time, a Demon King will lead Demons from all over the world to invade humans and even various civilized races across the world."
Liens recalled for a moment and replied.
During his time at the Training Camp, Ben and Marvin had both told different versions of the "Demon Disaster" legend.
So, he knew a little about it, and the content he just spoke was a brief summary.
And when he first heard about the existence of "Demon Disaster" and "Demon King".
Liens even thought this world was an Isekai from a Japanese RPG Adventurer story, that is, the widely circulated Isekai where a hero fights a Demon King.
At that time, he even fantasized that he was the hero who had transmigrated to save the world.
However, this fantasy was quickly shattered by the Training Camp guards' whips.
And the thought that followed was—I can't even save myself, so how can I save the world?
"Roughly… Although it's a bit different from the true situation, it's not far off."
"We just need to know that the duty of an Extraordinary One is to protect the majority of ordinary people from Demons, and even the 'Demon Disaster'."
"This is also the reason for the existence of that 'prohibition against Extraordinary Ones wantonly killing ordinary people'."
"We cannot transform from protectors into perpetrators."
Hearing this, Liens felt a little awkward.
If each person he killed in the instance counted as one corpse, the number might exceed the population of Hughes Town.
Compared to him, Marvin might even be considered pure.
However, although he felt awkward inside, Liens maintained a serious and attentive expression on the surface, listening to the Dean's speech.
"Hmm… I've strayed a bit. Let's go back to the original topic."
"The secret aspect of Extraordinary Ones is—not to casually disseminate specific information about Extraordinary Ones to ordinary people."
"You should know this too, right?"
The Dean continued.
Liens actually knew this, because Lucrezia's notebook had it written down.
However, it was just a short sentence, and Lucrezia hadn't recorded the reason for doing so in her notebook.
He didn't know if she didn't know the reason, or if she thought such a matter wasn't important?
"I also know that many Extraordinary Ones are no longer bothered to keep this secret."
"Some places are even keen on spreading Extraordinary knowledge."
"But I still hope that you do not spread information about Extraordinary Ones, especially elements, within the academy or even the town."
"If I say this, you might think I want to control the number of Extraordinary Ones to maintain their status."
"But I don't have many years left to live, so why would I care about that?"
"Let me tell you about a research report from a major power."
"The more a place understands Extraordinary Ones and elements, the stronger the elemental concentration."
"Correspondingly, the more and stronger the nearby Demons will be."
"Do you understand now?"
"The residents of Hughes Town cannot bear the consequences of spreading Extraordinary information; what they need is a peaceful and harmonious life."
The Dean slowly finished expressing what he wanted to say, then quietly waited for Liens's response.
"Hmm, I understand. I will control my behavior from now on and try not to display Extraordinary phenomena in front of the students."
Liens nodded seriously in response. This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on *.
"I apologize, Teacher Heier… It concerns the safety of the town residents, so my tone was a bit serious. Please forgive me."
The Dean's wrinkled face showed a smile as he apologized to Liens.
"No, Dean… This was my mistake to begin with. Why do you apologize?"
"If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave."
"It's evening now, and I should go have dinner."
Liens shook his head, indicating to the Dean that he didn't mind, and then requested to leave.
After receiving the Dean's permission, he directly left the Dean's room.
"If you don't want Extraordinary information to spread in Hughes Town, then don't conduct any magical rituals here."
"Now, not only have they done so, but they've also set up a magical ritual that can cover the entire town."
"So, what exactly do those major powers want to do? And what is the purpose of that magical ritual?"
"I'm getting more and more curious…"
"Moreover, I didn't expect the elemental concentration of a place to be related to the number of people who know about it."
"Suddenly, I feel like 'elements' are the source of all disasters in this world."
"Tokiomi? Where are you? Why aren't you coming out to take the blame?"
Walking on the way to the cafeteria, Liens complained in his heart.
After dinner, Liens also conveniently detoured to Locke's room and had a "friendly" conversation with him.
Locke immediately and readily stated that he would absolutely not cause him any more trouble.
Upon hearing this, Liens kicked Locke one more time and then left satisfied.
