The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me

The amount of comments on is just wow…

It has been 6 months since I arrived in this world. After killing Ahinal, I spent my days hunting ghosts with Aracelli. Time itself wasn't much of an issue here. The time here flows 21 times faster than Earth, in other words, only around 10 days passed on earth.

The ghost hunting could be said to be smooth sailing. One of the reasons why it was smooth sailing was because of Aracelli’s ability. Even though she had no spiritual powers, and had no knowledge of how to seal a ghost, she could kill a ghost through magic which was only possible because she studied demonology from the moment she reached the 7th circle.

It was also thanks to the skills I had acquired after killing Ahinal.

The effect of Soul Piercing Eyes was self-explanatory.

The other day, when I was dealing with the Thirteenth Step Ghost, I couldn’t kill it no matter how many times I beat it with a sword clad in divine power. Unlike humans, ghosts did not bleed, and their heads and hearts were not their weak points.

However, thanks to Soul Piercing Eyes, I could now see the ghost’s weakness. I could see places that would deal damage to the ghosts if I attacked them there. For that very reason, the diary was no longer a necessity for hunting ghost stories.

Of course, several ghosts were trickier to hunt because of Aracelli's lack of mana and my little amount of holy power. But all in all, Aracelli and I had quite a bit of fun hunting ghosts.

Principal Malea hadn't appeared again since then. We don't even know where she lives, or why she doesn't go to work. However, when I dug deeper to get more information about ‘Malea’. I found something very good.

[About psychic phenomena]

[What is a pure and clear soul?]

[How to treat the soul?]

Malea was headmaster of the magic school as well as an extremely rare ‘soul magician’ in this world. If you asked most people in this world about soul magicians, they wouldn’t know about it. It's just a made up word after all. I've also yet to meet anyone who deals with souls.

Perhaps because of that, the book about souls that was written by Principal Malea was not popular. I bet most people in this school don't even know that such a book existed. Of course, their ignorance was a boon to me. The books were very helpful to me. The reason I came to this world in the first place was to learn about ‘separation of soul’.

Before I came here, I didn’t even think that I could find the way right away. But boy! Should I say I'm lucky? I was able to find the information I was looking for, in the very first world to boot!

[How to separate souls?]

This method could only work if the user had spiritual power (holy power) and the ability to manipulate souls (spirit eyes). I met all of those conditions. In other words, it may now be possible to separate Yekaterina’s soul from me.

Of course, it was by no means an easy method. Rather, it was fairly difficult and complex. There was also a chance of failure which would lead to damaging the soul itself. But I still wanted to guarantee Yekaterina’s freedom.

“Wow, Professor. There are books like this.”

Aracelli exclaimed and skipped around the empty library. As for the woman named Malea, the more I researched about her, the stranger things I found.

[Survival of Tutorial Tower.]

Somehow… the title overlaps a bit with the survival series I read often as a child.

“What is this tutorial tower?”

“I did a little research about it, Professor. In this world, a certain ‘giant tower’ has risen. It suddenly appeared out of nowhere and recruited what they called ‘challengers'… It seems that there are people from not only this world but many other worlds that came to the tower."

"Is that so? Sounds exciting.”

People from different worlds gather in one space. I don't think anything good is going to happen inside the tower.

“And Principal Malea has survived through it. It was said that those who survived the Tutorial Tower were given enormous abilities and rewards. According to the records, each and every one of them possessed unbelievable power that could upset the balance of the world…”

Aracelli frowned.

“Principal Malea also killed all the survivors who caused havoc in this world. But, for survivors who did not cause trouble, she gave them a place to live in comfort.”

“She has great determination… She is also great because she has the power to implement it.”

"Right?"

Anyway, I had learned about the Tutorial Tower.

But the last question still remains. Why does Principal Malea, whom I have never met, know me?

‘How?'
