Chapter 209- I'm Destined!! (Part 2)
'This guy... what's up with him?' Rin thought with a frown as he examined Philippe's face.
Before, Phillipe was not bad-looking by any means and in fact could be considered cute in women's eyes. However, now, all of that was nowhere to be seen. First of all, he lost an unbelievable amount of weight to the point where the bones on his face were now defined and visible. Second of all, his skin was so pale beyond unhealthy and his eyes were now red, completely covered with madness and anger.
"What did you do to yourself?" He decided to ask.
"It's none of your business! I simply chose what's best for me!"
"The best for you? Wait, such an appearance, did you get in contact with the cult?" Knitting his eyebrows tightly, Rin had a bad hunch about all of this.
"It's not important what happened! The important thing is that your end is near!" Phillipe said.
"Hm, I doubt you can kill me." Rin replied coldly as he aimed his dagger at Phillipe.
"Hehehehehe! I'm not the one who's going to kill you."
"...?"
"Look around you, Rin. You have already been seen by many people. Your powers have been revealed to the masses."
Hearing that, Rin quickly shifted his gaze to the people around them. Many students had seen the interaction from start to finish. In other words, they saw when Rin used his powers.
"You... Don't tell me..." Realizing what Phillipe wanted from all of this, Rin's heart stopped for a second.
"Hahahahaha! You finally realized! Yes, I knew how much you cared for that wretched woman and so I knew that if I attacked her while you were watching, you would use your powers to save her." Phillipe said.
"..."
"The look on your face, hahahahahaha!! That's it, yes. That look." Laughing maniacally, the protagonist looked completely intoxicated.
However, the next second, something unexpected happened.
Rin pulled away the dagger and put it away before he clenched his fist.
*BANG*
Then, at inhuman speed, he punched Phillipe in the face. The punch was so strong that it broke multiple teeth and sent him flying away before he hit a wall.
Then, Rin walked toward him and lifted him up from the collar before he clenched his fist again.
*BANG*
He punched him again and again and again, he kept punching him silently while Phillipe whimpered in pain. His face was completely ruined.
"To think that I was dumb enough to spare you before. It was my mistake for sure."
*BANG*
"To think that you would redeem yourself and become a decent person."
*BANG*
"It's all my mistake. I should've never believed that you could change. You are still a worthless scum that thinks everyone is entitled to love you. Yet, you couldn't even reciprocate those feelings if they fucking slapped you in the face."
*BANG*
"You didn't even think twice before attacking Elise. How dare you say you actually love her, hun?!"
*BANG*
"I had enough of this shit. I will make sure to end your life right here and now."
With each word Rin uttered, the coldness in his tone and the lack of emotions in his eyes would chill anyone to the core. He didn't feel a single thing as he destroyed every bone in Phillipe's face and destroyed all of his teeth.
Hell, he didn't even mind that blood splurted on his face at all.
"Die." Lifting his hand up, Rin intended to deliver the last blow.
"Wait, Rin!!"
Suddenly, a voice called for him before he found his arm was grabbed. He turned around only to see the familiar face of the most important person in his life.
Immediately, Rin's eyes regained their light as if he woke up from a trance state.
"We need to run! Now!" She said as she grabbed his hand.
Behind her, Emilia had a completely shocked expression, as if she didn't understand what was happening.
"Rin... you..." She tried to say something.
The latter simply shook his head with a sad look.
"Sorry that I hid this from you."
After that, Rin tapped Elise's hand with a small smile.
"There is no point in me running away." He said.
"What do you mean?! The Higher-ups will soon hear about it and they will send someone to capture you."
"That's why I said I can't run away. I will be chased to the ends of the world. That's why, I want you to escape alone."
"No! Don't say that! You are going to get killed." Elise said with a panicked expression.
"Listen to me, Elise. I know this is absurd. But, I won't die. I know what to do. However, I can't allow for you to risk your life in my plan. I am now basically done for in this place. You still can escape. I'm sure Master can find a good place where you can lay low for a while." He said.
"No! No! Don't you dare this, Rin! I will never forgive you for it!" She said as she had a hunch on what Rin was intending to do.
"If doing this means that you will live, I don't mind apologizing a million times. Trust me. I promise that I will be back." He said as he cupped Elise's face, getting one last long look at it.
"Master, can I ask this one last favor from you?" He said.
"Rin..."
"I know. Can you hide Elise for a few months? I only need a few months and I will come back."
"..."
"I know that I betrayed your trust and I understand that you have no obligation to do what I ask. But..." Turning around, Rin bowed down and continued. "Please, help Elise escape. I will hold whoever tries to stop you until she leaves."
"..." Emilia found herself completely speechless at Rin.
"You bastard... You better live and come back to explain what happened or I will come to kill you myself."
"Hahaha, I will sure do."
"Rin! No! I won't allow this. You are being selfish." Tears welled up in Elise's eyes as she still protested aggressively.
"I'd rather be selfish and know that you are safe and sound than to put your life at risk. It's going to be ridiculous. But, in 3 months... I will definitely return in 3 months from this exact date."
