Professor Belus—or rather, the Great General of the Demon King’s Army, Bertus. A week had passed since our battle against him ended.


    The first thing we did immediately after the battle was go to the church to check if anyone had any abnormalities with their bodies. Mirif, who had almost fallen victim to the inhumane experiments, was our primary concern, but we wanted to make sure none of the others had been contaminated by Bertus’s fluids during his transformation.


    While contact with his bodily fluids shouldn’t have caused any issues ording to the original story, there was no harm in being cautious. Fortunately, everyone checked out fine.


    ''…Looking back, it was a miraculous victory.''


    It was, in many ways, a victory that we managed to secure through sheer luck.


    Stopping him in the middle of his transformation, before he could reach his full form, was a huge advantage. Plus, his absurd misconception that I was a survivor of the beastman vige allowed us to secure an escape route.


    And, of course, the power of the Mana st temporarily reanimating the fallen victims, which helped us deliver the final blow, was nothing short of a miracle.


    If even one of those factors had been missing, we might have ended up crawling on theb floor like those flesh-colored monsters or using the Mana st as ast-ditch effort to take him down with us.


    Even in hindsight, it was a spine-chillingly close call. I was just grateful we managed to make it out safely.@@novelbin@@


    ''It''s a bit unfortunate that Professor Belus was just marked as missing.''


    It wasn’t exactly in the academy or the empire’s best interest to spread news about a professor conducting human experiments with students in the academy’s basement. Not only would it tarnish their reputation, but it would also disturb the current students.
