He was sure, as if a divine revelation had descended upon him.
This dreamcatcher is the one who fucked the future black man.
There is no logical evidence, but I feel like I know it when I see it.
‘This is the seed of a villainess.’
Actions that are based on a guilty conscience or shamelessness.
It is selfish to create another personality just to survive.
And just like the famous saying that if there is a mountain there, you climb it, he has the confidence to say without hesitation that if there is energy, you eat it.
A selfish, shameless attitude that rationalizes everything one does.
It was definitely the attitude of a villainess who often appears in romance novels.
‘Right now, she just has the qualities of a villainess, but if she loses her cool over there… .’
To be honest, right now it’s just a bit malicious and can be passed off as a ‘joke’.
But those malicious parts mature and after just 5 years.
‘A beast is born.’
This is not just intuition, but something I learned from teaching students as an instructor.
For example, Assistant #1.
I heard from Taechang that the original assistant number one was the guy who helped the evil version of the magician chick to commit evil deeds.
If that guy hadn’t met me, he would have become a gangster just like in the original.
This meant that whether or not there was an educator who would harshly reprimand such a cheapskate was a big turning point for the students, and that was why [The Whip of Love] was important.
‘Of course, I don’t want to end up like the teacher who beat me when I was young and didn’t give me notes.’
When a student you are teaching goes astray and goes down a bad path, or when you borrow courtesy, using the whip is a form of love. When you swing the whip indiscriminately and without reason, it is just violence and an expression of anger.
It was also a symbol of baseness that was used to show off their authority.
So, Lee Han felt a sense of mission as an educator.
‘People should be human, not beasts.’
There will be no other time than now.
A chance to make this worthless thing into a human being.
You have to reform them when they’re young. Hard-headed adults never reform them.
It must be a lesson he has learned in life.
“Did you say Judia?”
“…yes.”
“From today, you are a transfer student to the academy.”
“yes?”
“Also, please be advised that from today onwards, your status will be permanent internship, and your training will continue until I say it is finished.”
“…yes?”
“If you understand, why do you keep saying yes or no? You only have to answer once, got it?”
“Yes, yes!”
“… Oh my, I guess I have a lot to teach you.”
“???”
Judia still didn’t understand the situation, and she accidentally became the first intern to receive a [permanent retirement number].
… … It was the beginning of a nightmare of hardship and adversity that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

In the afternoon, when lunchtime was approaching, Judia, or rather Pierre, opened his eyes.
And he.
“…Why didn’t you kill him?”
“?”
“That beast has been rude to you. It deserves to be killed.”
“You… did you ever feel shame?”
“!!”
Pierre’s personality was basically that of an insensitive man.
Blunt, rarely shows emotion, and is cold.
A completely different personality from Judith Wan, who is shameless and honest about her feelings.
Even if they have a split personality, seeing that the split is so stark, it is clear that the Mongma are a very special species.
“You really hate darkness.”
“I hate you so much.”
“Somehow, there was a reason why he was willing to commit suicide if only he had a reason to die.”
“… … .”
“Okay, I’m curious about something. Is that darkness awake right now?”
“… That’s not it. The Mongmaran clan is nocturnal like vampires. They sleep most of the day, and as long as my personality doesn’t lose consciousness, nothing will happen.”
“So you’re saying he’s asleep now?”
“Yes. However, since we share memories, whatever conversation I have with the beast will be known.”
“Hmm, so that’s why you’re embarrassed. All the secrets you kept hidden have been revealed.”
“… … .”
Isn’t this the first time I’ve had such a long conversation with this stone?
Pierre was so talkative that I suddenly had that thought.
That must mean he’s that excited.
‘That makes sense.’
I heard that Pierre was a personality born to be tortured and experimented on in her place.
Since he has been through pain since the moment he was born, it is only natural that he has that kind of personality.
Hatred will be as solid as a lump of tar.
He’s a bit of a pitiful guy.
But it’s just a pity, it’s a pity.
“But how do you use divine powers? I thought most of the mystical races couldn’t use divine powers?”
I asked how two mysteries can ‘coexist’ within one person.
Because it was a case I had never heard of before.
“… … Because the personality of a country cannot use the power of a dream.”
I didn’t expect him to give me an easy answer, but surprisingly, he readily told me the truth.
It could be acceptance of my situation, or it could be gratitude for beating up the darkness.
“On the other hand, beasts cannot use divine powers. This cannot be anything other than the grace and mercy of God, proving that I and beasts are separate people.”
“hmm.”
… or are you bragging?
I am a completely separate person from the beast?
‘… If that’s the case, then he’s a bit childish,… No. That could be possible, I guess.’
Lee Han, who had tried hard to ignore the guy’s boasts, was finally starting to understand some things as he listened to his story.
Why did that stone-faced bastard become a priest and join the Inquisition, a group that fanatically follows God?
‘Because divine power is the means to prove that you are not a dreamer, but a separate person.’
As much as he denies and hates Mongma, he struggles to constantly make it known that he is a faithful person… .
I can feel a little bit of that intensity.
…it’s a complex set of values, but I can still understand it.
That’s why.
“To prove that, you will do anything dirty. You will never be able to leave the temple. Even if you betray your benefactor.”
“… … .”
This guy will do anything.
Anything to leave behind in the temple.
Even if he is a created personality, he will think that he can be saved as long as he is in the temple.
So this guy is unlikable.
That would be true.
“Isn’t it Raphael who saved you?”
“… Yes. I have a lot to be thankful for, Cardinal. He is the one who brought me to the temple.”
“But that benefactor ignored me like a fool and attacked me? Thank you, for beating me up so I don’t regret it at all.”
“I won’t make any excuses.”
That’s a funny statement.
“It’s not that you don’t do it, but you have no excuse. But I’ll give you a piece of advice. Whether you commit suicide, believe in a cult, or betray Father Raphael, I don’t care. After all, you and that beast you call are both the same senseless seed in my eyes.”
“-!”
Finally, the expression on his face becomes distorted.
The fact that Mongma and himself were of the same species must have come across as an extremely unpleasant insult.
In the eyes of a third party, they are all just horrible people, whether they are dreamers or traitors.
That must be the mindset of a criminal.
‘One is a sprout of a wicked woman without a conscience, and the other is a black-haired, no, red-haired beast.’
At this point, I feel sorry for the old priest.
Why did I accept such a two-faced person who doesn’t know any kind of grace and suffer like this?
“Are you upset because you’re being treated the same? Are you scratched?”
“… … .”
“If that’s the case, then that’s good. It’s true what I said to scratch. Anyway, you’re a traitor who doesn’t know gratitude. There’s something I’m curious about.”
“…Is that what my title is?”
“Don’t interrupt me. I’m talking about the forces that kidnapped you and the other mysterious races. Do you know what’s happened to them now? I’m starting to get a little interested in them.”
“… … .”
Lee Han didn’t care how this guy lived from now on.
Anyway, if you do something wrong when you’re around me, then I’ll just beat you up.
If you have an accident after becoming independent, then…
‘A beggar who carries a sword instead of a whip.’
It’s easy to do.
So his current interest is the guys who kidnapped the mystery race.
“… I don’t know the details, it happened 10 years ago and I was very young at the time.”
“Okay, try to recall some memories. The faces or features of the people who experimented on you, or the structure of the facility, or whatever.”
“…Do you usually ask victims that?”
“I don’t do this to other people. But you guys are the ones who interrogate heretics. You can ask people like this to people who torture people as if it’s their daily life.”
“We, the Inquisitors, are punishers of apostasy, not madmen.”
It was Pierre who defended the inquisitor, and it seemed like he was trying to correct his misunderstanding… .
“They say that crazy people don’t know they’re crazy.”
“… … .”
“Tell me what you remember quickly.”
“… Now I see that you should have been an inquisitor, not a knight.”
“I’m weak-hearted, so I can’t do something like that.”
“… … .”
… … Pierre felt sad for the first time.
* * *
‘I don’t remember.’
The guy gave me more information than I thought, considering he doesn’t remember much.
I don’t know if it’s because he was born smart, or if it’s a characteristic of sleepwalking, but he seemed to have a very good memory.
Otherwise, it would not be an easy feat to remember a memory from ten years ago so vividly.
‘Swoop, there’s another order-taker involved this time.’
Illegal wizard.
A race that Lee Han hates extremely, and who would mercilessly smash their heads if he ever met them.
Confirming that the ones who had kidnapped and experimented on the mysterious race were of that race, Lee Han’s head turned faster than usual, and he quickly organized the information Pierre had given him.
‘Raphael raided the facility of the illegal wizard, but only one red survived, the rest died. The illegal wizard escaped, … Ra.’
The important thing here is that the orderer has escaped, and there is a very high chance that he is still alive.
If nothing else, these guys called orderlies are incredibly tenacious when it comes to their vitality.
‘So this is what it looks like?’
Lee Han personally drew a ‘montage’ based on the information mentioned by the traitor Red.
It’s a rough drawing, but it still has all the distinctive features.
It was the only evidence, and you may wonder what you can do with it.
Squeak.
This alone was enough to make him open the wardrobe in his room.
There were hardly any clothes in the dresser, but instead, the dresser was full of things.
Choaaaak!
It was a huge pile of paper.
“… This is a long time coming.”
I don’t think I’ve opened it in half a year since I was selected as an instructor.
There were only ‘newspaper articles’ including ‘wanted notices’, and most of them were related to the impressions of people like [illegal magicians] and [slave traders].
All of them were collected by his own hands, and many of them are now useless, because,
“Oh, this guy is dead, right? These guys are dead too… . This guy… . Oh, you threw him in the goblin cave, right? How did you deal with him… .”
Because ‘about 1/3’ of the contents of the newspaper and wanted posters were rendered useless by his hands… .
As it turned out, there was a lot of stuff to discard, and Lee Han had no choice but to go through the documents and discard the things that needed to be discarded.
Isn’t this all punishment for neglecting cleaning because it’s always bothersome?
Choke, choke.
However, Lee Han seriously searched through the data.
He was extremely sharp at the moment, and after looking over the materials earnestly for about an hour,
Stop!
“-This is it.”
Lee Han stopped his gaze on a wanted poster distributed 15 years ago.
The case had already been closed, and it was a wanted poster for an illegal magician who was known to have been sentenced to death, but Lee Han did not believe the rumors or the newspaper articles unless he had ‘directly’ seen the person die.
Those who order things are like cockroaches that will somehow come back to life if you don’t definitely kill them.
so.
“Assistant!”
Lee Han just had to find it.
“Father, did you call?”
“Go to the Guild immediately and tell Simon to find this guy.”
“… Yes? S, Simon? H, are you asking me to speak to the guild leader, that Simon…?”
“But?”
“… … I’m going to go back.”
“What’s the problem?”
“…How can someone like me ask for information from the guild leader!”
“He said that because I told him to.”
“Then the instructor should go himself!”
“I’m a bit busy right now. Well, if the guild association is having a hard time, there are other places.”
“You should’ve told me earlier…”
“Which one do you want to go with, Galahad or Pendragon?”
“… … .”
“Where do you like it?”
“… … I’ll just go to the guild association. Damn it…!”
“Swoop! Snout!”
Lee Han sternly scolded Assistant #1, who was becoming increasingly blunt these days.
What’s wrong with this guy?
‘Why do things get worse and worse?’
This is why they say character education is difficult.
Lee Han clicked his tongue at the incompetent assistant.
