Chapter 236: Heroes Tutor

The next day, Akira’s behaviour changed drastically. He became closer to Viktor and started to treat him like a very close person after he found out there was nothing wrong with him.

To his eyes, Viktor was a strong man and worked with other elites so he felt safer around him. Since his identity as an intermediate or silver-ranked guild member was revealed in front of him, the way Viktor congratulated him made him wipe all doubts on him.

Viktor was casually taking his class and then, he was the positive change. Akira had managed to convince the other heroes except for the saint to become closer to him. Since he no longer poses a threat, all the heroes started to follow him after school for personal lectures.

Of course, Viktor had already received a letter from the emperor saying that he should reconsider their proposal. And he also promised that he’d hide his identity from the heroes since there was no need to reveal it to them.

.....

After a long sleep, Viktor opened his eyes and found himself in a spacious luxurious room filled with gold decorations and expensive paintings from old age. His pale white body was covered with a fine silk blanket. It was covering half of his open torso so he pulled it above and sat down.

His head was still drowsy because of the short amount of sleep he got. Usually, he sleeps for less than a week using a time trap spell but after coming to Erok using an avatar, he couldn’t use any time spell so his sleep schedule became messed up

8 hours of sleep wasn’t enough to recharge his mental strength so everyday he woke up from his sleep, he could feel his body refusing to listen and he had to fight back by punching his stomach or slapping his face to force himself to wake up.

But his surroundings really shaped his mind back to reality and realised he came to the imperial palace last night.

’Ah... I’m here to play the role of a good teacher who will help the heroes to fight the dragon lord in the future. But the dragon lord won’t appear before the end of summer. And I need to search for the key before the main quest is done. Ugh... I need to accelerate the Dragon lord’s arrival and leave Erok. Of course, I need to kill the heroes to complete the main quest’

Viktor chuckled and spoke in his thoughts, ’I forgot that I am the demon lord here. Heheh... I forgot about it by playing the good guy.. hahah..aahahaha’

At that moment, a maid came inside the room and became surprised to see Viktor’s smile. Of course, he was smiling like a gentleman, not a creepy handsome villain.

She blushed a little and went inside the room with his clothes. She was one of the maids who knew Viktor was the 1st son of the late emperor after Viktor manipulated her memories. So to show her respect, she bowed and said, "Good morning, the 1st sun of Romos empire. This lowly maid has prepared your bath."

Without answering her question, Viktor walked inside the bathroom and took a cold shower. The water was filled with mana and antibiotics properties so he couldn’t help but rethink the amount of treasure the current emperor had.

After cleaning his body, he walked out of the shower and put on his clothes. His hair was almost on his shoulder-length so he tied them up, giving his charm a bit more makeover.

He looked at the mirrors and failed to stop himself from complimenting how handsome he was.

’Hummm. I am a handsome demigod !! But not close to Adonis...Adonis!!!!!!!’

Suddenly, he remembered Adonis and took out his record to see if he was doing all right. Thankfully, he was doing great and saw he was taking some measurements against Name, the god of names who had sent invitation letters to many demigods and gods.

But he knew Name can’t step outside the underworld realm so he wasn’t much of a threat to him. Moreover, it seemed like Adonis was working with Kobayashi because he wasn’t Name’s slave.

Viktor smirked and mumbled, ’That’s my Adonis. Turning an enemy into a friend when he needs it. Well, I guess I need to give him something great when I go back. For now, let’s concentrate on what I must do. ’Become close with the heroes.’

He looked at his tower status screen and saw the drastic progress. It was 76%.

’79 huh? I guess the saint has to die....Well, She’ll die either way because her system is counting her bad deeds. Soon, the count will reach its limit and forcefully shut her heart down. I just need to fuel the fire a bit.’

After fixing his hair, he went straight to the dining room and saw the table decorated with so much food that 8 people can’t finish even if they eat 3 times a day.

The decorating table meant a different meaning behind it and it was to show the power of the emperor. It was also to satisfy the 1st son’s mind.

Since Viktor was the 1st born, the butter told everyone to behave. Of course, not all of them knew Viktor was the 1st born of the previous emperor so they neglected the warning and acted as they did in front of other maids.

The butler saw Viktor’s no change of expression so he called everyone out of the room so he could give the servants a piece of his mind.

....

After changing the emperor’s mind, Viktor made a contact that said he can take back the crown even if the crown Prince would be selected. The emperor didn’t mind it and thought he’d tell eventing to his son after he becomes 25. But now that he was back, the emperor changed his mind.

Since he didn’t think of himself as the worthy owner of the power, he knew his son wasn’t that much of a big deal. He couldn’t even withstand the charm of the saint who was frequently doing shady works outside the palace, he knew the future of Romos wasn’t bright.

The black association was also acting up slowly so he had to rethink giving back the crown to its worthy owner.

....

After Viktor had his meal, he walked outside the room and by coincidence, he saw the saint charming the guards to enter the room.

The reek of rose made Viktor uneasy after eating his meal so he covered his nose and held the shoulder of the butler.

He erased the charm magic from him and said, "Butler Max, is something bothering you?"

Coming back to his senses, he stepped back from the saint and took shelter behind Viktor. "Um... Sir North..I have some things to do in the kitchen. Please excuse me."

Soon after he finished talking, he dashed out of the place.

Viktor then looked at the saint and said, "You, that charm magic of yours is sure bothersome."

He smirked at the saint and made his way out of the section, leaving her alone standing in the empty hall.

She clenched her jaw and started to bite her nail because Viktor found out about her skill. She made sure nobody knew about her skill expects for the heroes.

"How did he know? Did Akira told him!! Tsk!! Looks like I need to give him a piece of advice. We can’t trust this man at all. My hunch was correct. This man must be some secret villain that helps the demon lord."

....

After Viktor came to the imperial palace, the emperor recruited him as the private tutor of the heroes. So he no longer had to work as a teacher in the academy since he was already tutoring the rising stars of the empire.

As scheduled, the class starts at 10 so all the heroes gathered in the library. Of course, the crown prince was present just to visit but the saint was nowhere to be seen.

Viktor looked at the time and said, "10 minutes had passed. Does anybody knows about her whereabouts?"

Everyone looked at each other and said no. Viktor shook his head and said, "Well, I will start the class now. Many of you may think I will teach you the same thing as I did back in the academy but unfortunately, you are wrong. I will teach everyone war tactics, demons, advanced magic spells by skipping all the basic things. I will teach you how to explode dungeons, fight monsters, teach you about dungeon traps and focus on holy magic since all heroes are blessed with it. Ah, I am also a holy magic user just like our prince is so you can all trust me."

The prince was surprised to hear Viktor could use holy magic because only a noble bloodline can use holy magic. Seeing Viktor casually showing an intermediate class holy magic, he couldn’t help but think about his background.

At that moment, the saint rushed inside the classroom and scream. "You thief!!! How dare you steal my holy staff!!"

Listening to her statement, everyone was in shock and couldn’t process what she just said.
