Chapter 20 - Somber

When Ryuda saw that the Saint of Dividing Space unleashed his secret technique on the young devil, School's guildmaster shook his head and let out a sigh.

"Kids' these days…They don't know the pain of finding a good punching bag to vent frustrations and anger on." 

He then looked at the young man beside him and gave a curt nod.

The young man sporting an emerald green and white jacket placed two fingers into his mouth and whistled a tune.

The whistled tune was neither loud nor soft. 

In fact, it was nearly impossible for humans to hear it as it flew below a human's known frequency range.

Moments later, just as the Saint of Dividing Space finished executing his secret move, a strong gust of wind whisked by the three SSS ranked elites.

"Woah! What's with this strong breeze?" [Sister Witch]

"A strong breeze is called a gale. So this is a gale." [Brother Azure]

"Okay nature nerd, that's too much information that I don't want to process." [Sister Witch]

"Well, Sister Witch, what Brother Azure said is factually correct. He was just providing us with some new insight…" [Senior Dividing Space]

"Yeah yeah, so what? What am I going to do if I know that a strong breeze is called a…a…See? It's so pointless I have already forgotten about it." [Sister Witch]

Azure Monarch and the Witch of the Frozen World continued to bicker with each other, while the Saint of Dividing Space could only watch on helplessly.

"Whoosh!" Just then, the gale from before returned and swept the two elites off their feets, startling them as a result.

The Saint of Dividing Space saw this and couldn't help but let out a chuckle. 

"Ah damn it, just where is this gale coming from?" [Sister Witch]

"Oh, so you do remember the word~" [Brother Azure]

"Shut up!" [Sister Witch]

"Alright, stop being childish and act your ranks." Being right on cue, Ryuda and the young man in his shiny green jacket slowly descended in front of the group with the help of the wind.

"Oooh, that's where the wind was coming from…My bad, I've completely forgotten that Senior Brother Whispering Gale followed us on this mission…" [Sister Witch]

The Dragon of Whispering Gales heard this and remained silent. He was not the type to be triggered by such shallow remarks, even more so when it came from the mouth of his junior sister. 

After all, both the Dragon and Saint knew how venomous their junior sister's tongue was.

As for Ryuda, the guildmaster of School walked to the side of the defeated young devil. 

With a quick glance, Ryuda immediately understood the root cause of the demon's death and revealed a proud smile.

"A void that lets no light escape from its grasp…A chilling aura that still permeates his body, and a mangled torso that only the fiercest river could cause. Congratulations my dear students, I'm impressed with everyone's improvements." 

The three SSS ranked elites heard this and replied with silent nods. In their minds, their teacher was a mystical being of sorts.

An X ranked Teacher that seemed to have an endless abyss hidden within the depths of their eyes. 

Even after they had reached the level of demigods, the students, particularly the Saint of Dividing Space and the Dragon of Whispering Gales could not see the limit of their teacher's abilities.

Whether it was his understanding of magical and martial texts, or that he was older than the current elf king who's currently 2.5k years old, the students of School would always be surprised no matter what.

Thus, when Ryuda praised them without saying anything else, the group of elite students became dumbfounded. 

"Now then, since we have vanquished this evil from Avalon, we can leave the clean up to the Church of the Everlasting Order and the Avalonian Empire." 

Saying so, the guildmaster then picked up the corpse of the young devil and teleported away, leaving his students behind.

A moment later, Senior Brother Saint of Dividing Space became the first to break the silence.

"Was it just me or did I see our teacher's eyes widened as he was inspecting the corpse of the demon?"

"Yeah, I saw it too." Senior Brother Whispering Gales nodded in agreement. 

"I wonder just what did Teacher Ryuda see?" [Sister Witch]

"Beats me. I was still admiring myself for pulling off Azure World perfectly this time." [Brother Azure]

"Oh yeah, I casted Frozen World without breaking a sweat too. Truly an achievement for this week." [Sister Witch]

"Alright, save the narcissistic praises after we get back to the guild." After saying so, the Saint of Dividing Space used his sword to cut open the space in front of him. 

He then manipulated the space elements in the air to form a tunnel connecting their side over to the entrance of School.

A moment later, the space tunnel let out an ear piercing buzz as the space elements within the tunnel stabilized, allowing for a person to safely travel within the tunnel.

Without missing a beat, the Saint of Dividing Space sheathed his sword and entered the tunnel.

The other three elite students soon followed after.

On the other side of the Avalonian Continent, a flash of light appeared in the middle of a forest.

When the light subsided, a young man wearing round glasses while wearing a black coat appeared and landed on the cold wet ground. 

It was currently raining within the forest but the young man remained dry.

With the enchanted coat providing a forcefield to shield off the rain and the bugs, Ryuda made his way to an abandoned house.

Once there, he snapped his finger and summoned the corpse of the young demon into his arms.

Ryuda laid the demon corpse on a stack of hay. He then waved his hand and casted a purify on the demon corpse.

A loud hissing sound could be heard as the purify spell washed away the impurities and corruption found within the demon's body.

Half a stick of incense time later…

The guildmaster stopped purifying the demon corpse and retracted his hand.

He then looked at the face of the purified demon corpse and revealed a somber expression, "Oh dear, it really is him…"
