Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The long holiday is over.

The fourth academic year has begun.

The Royal Academy welcomed the start of the academic year amidst a sense of desolation.

The number of students returning to school was significantly lower, with more than half of them choosing to suspend their studies or graduate early.

Perhaps moved by their homeroom teacher's words, or persuaded by the Third Prince, all members of Rogge's class ultimately chose to stay at school.

Everyone forced smiles as they chatted and greeted each other.

It felt like stepping back in time, with nothing having changed.

It's as if something has changed.

The relaxed and joyful classroom atmosphere of the past is gradually fading away and becoming unattainable.

……

That year, Class One welcomed a new combat instructor.

The original instructor, Haina, returned to the Truth Cult.

On the night before Haina left, she sought out Roger after a long time and had a heart-to-heart talk with him.

"Rogge, I have been deceiving you all along. I am not a Templar Knight, but the Chief Inquisitor of the Church of Truth."

Haina revealed her true identity.

She told Roger about her experiences as chief inquisitor and her karmic entanglement with the remnants of the sinful race.

"I was once deceived by her, naively believing that the criminals had other reasons, until the tragedy at the school anniversary celebration occurred. Only then did I realize that it was all a lie she used to cover up her evil intentions."

"Therefore, I have decided to return to the Church of Truth and make that sinful woman face final judgment."

"Rogge, would you like to come with me? With your talent, you'll definitely be able to replace me and become the new chief in the future."

Hena sincerely extended an invitation to Roger.

Roger shook his head, politely declining.

Hena was somewhat disappointed when Roger rejected her, but she didn't press the matter.

She got up to leave, when suddenly Roger called her back.

"Instructor Henna."

Roger gazed at Haina and said sincerely.

"Promise me that if the Truth Cult ever tries to baptize you, you won't accept it, okay?"

"..."

Hena looked at Roger, puzzled.

Sensing the sincerity in Rogge's eyes, he finally nodded.

……

That year, everyone in the class was busy with their own things.

Spurred on by the remnants of the sinful clan, many people, including the four good-for-nothings, abandoned their previous laziness and worked hard to hone their talents, resulting in extremely rapid improvement in their strength.

The third prince is about to return to the palace to compete for the throne with the eldest prince and the second princess.

He is currently trying to recruit his classmates into his faction.

Rogge was his primary target for recruitment.

"Rogge, help me seize the throne, and let's change the world together!"

The third prince got straight to the point.

Rogge did not give an immediate answer, but instead asked the other party.

"Third Prince, which do you prefer: a false peace or a cruel reality?"

"A false peace or a cruel reality? If I were the Holy Emperor, I would undoubtedly choose the former. Even a false peace is still peace, regardless of whether it is real or not; cruelty is always painful."

"Then I have nothing more to say."

Rogge shook his head and declined the Third Prince's invitation.

……

That year, several teachers and students at the college were assassinated.

All the evidence points to a foreign race.

The hatred of the Sinners reached its peak at the Royal Academy and indeed throughout the entire human race.

When the students at the academy talk about this, they grit their teeth and wish they could tear the sinners to pieces.

Even the Black Long Straight Hair Fan Club disbanded on its own.

However, only Rogge knew that the dead were all humans who had been recruited by the alien race.

But he couldn't tell the truth.

Seemingly aware of the danger posed by the Sinful Race, the Truth Cult is secretly conducting an unprecedented purge within the human race and intensifying its search for traces of the Sinful Race.

In this situation, the more you know, the faster you die.

Think of the people around you.

All Rogge could do was remain silent.

……

That year, Rogge devoted himself entirely to finding the Demon Sword of Sin.

Rogge, bound by his predetermined fate, sees the elusive and ethereal Demon Sword of Sin as his only hope.

Roger didn't understand at first, but now he finally does.

Unfortunately, the Demon Sword of Sin is not something you can find just by looking for it.

Furthermore, as the investigation deepens, the members of the research group will become increasingly dangerous, and they are very likely to be targeted by the Truth Cult.

"We can't let them continue their investigation."

Rogge secretly passed through the tunnel.

Then, one day...

Princess Lingsha received what was now an unknown number of letters from the King of Ling Kingdom.

In the letter, the King of Ling Kingdom repeatedly emphasized his hope that Princess Ling Sha would graduate early and return to the country as soon as possible.

Princess Lingsha told everyone what had happened and angrily listed the faults of the King of Ling Kingdom.

"My dad is so annoying! He always treats me like a little kid!"

"Even during holidays, they would nag me all day long, saying how dangerous the alien race was and telling me not to stay in the capital of the Holy Emperor Kingdom."

"Hmph! Everyone else is at the academy, why do I have to go back?"

Julie and Maya listened to Princess Lingsa's complaints and joined forces to defend her.

Roger watched the three of them chattering away.

After thinking it over, I finally made up my mind.

"Let's go back."

He said abruptly.

"..."

The three people who had been laughing and joking there suddenly fell silent.

Swordswoman, watching from the sidelines, looked at Rogge with a puzzled expression.

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

"What did you say?"

Princess Lingsha stared wide-eyed at her incredulously.

"I say, the King of Ling is right, you should go back."

Rogge repeated it carefully.

"Go back! Staying at the academy is of no use except to make your family worry. You might as well go back obediently."

"Useless? Huh? Ha... What are you talking about? Why should I listen to you? Ha!"

Princess Lingsha reacted strongly, displaying an exaggerated expression of disgust and whining.

"Hmph! Ha, I didn't stay at the academy for your sake, so what right do you have to criticize me... Hmph! I'm not leaving, so what right do you have to make me leave? Why are you saying these things to me..."

She kept talking, her voice trembling more and more as she spoke, and she felt more and more wronged.

He gradually lost his composure, and large tears streamed down his face.

"Waaah... Why, why did you say that to me? I just didn't want to leave everyone, why did you have to send me away... Waaah, you big bad guy, I hate you..."

Princess Lingsha kept wiping away her tears, but no matter how she wiped them away, she couldn't get them clean.

She could no longer control herself and turned to run out the door.

"Lingsa!"

Maya followed closely behind Princess Lingsa.

As Julie watched the two figures leave, she suddenly felt a surge of anger.

She rushed up to Roger, grabbed him by the collar, her eyebrows furrowed and her face contorted with rage.

"Rogge! Do you even know what you're doing?!"

"I'm just letting Lingsa make the best choice."

Rogge answered calmly.

"The best choice? You're hilarious! Don't you know what Ling Sha is thinking? Stop playing dumb, okay? Even an idiot can see how Ling Sha feels about you!"

Julie gritted her teeth and began to curse.

"I really misjudged you! It was one thing that you didn't go to the Miss Royal Pageant during the school anniversary celebration, but ever since Ira died, you've been acting completely strange!"

"Did Ira's death really affect you that much? All you think about is finding that Demon Sword of the Sinful Clan, and you're oblivious to everything else! But we're all willing to understand and help you search!"

"But look at the nonsense you're spouting now! Ling Sha saw you were so downcast, so she dragged Maya and me along to research every day, even sneaking peeks at forbidden books, and this is how you repay her?"

"You're a complete bastard!"

Julie clenched her fists, wishing she could punch Roger in the face.

Unfortunately, he didn't make a move in the end, but instead gave Roger a hard shove.

"If you continue like this, then our relationship is over..."

After saying those last words, Julie left the activity room, clearly annoyed.

Sword Maiden, who hadn't spoken until now, also stood up and asked Rogue in confusion.

Why do this?

"..."

Rogge fell silent.

If he could, he really wanted to tell everyone everything.

But this time it won't work.

Because he will soon be at odds with the whole world, the danger he faces is self-evident.

If something goes wrong, one can simply walk away, but those who know the truth will be doomed.

Seeing this, Fiora said nothing more and left for the training hall.

The activity room instantly became deserted.

"This is better for everyone..."

Rogge murmured softly.

The music ended and the audience dispersed.

Every story eventually comes to an end.

Regardless of the final outcome, his future is sealed with death, but the living must persevere and live on.

Roger glanced at the bookshelf by the wall, where a group photo from their school anniversary celebration was displayed.

Thanks to Julie's messing around, the originally proper standing positions became a complete mess.

Julie, grinning mischievously, tried to launch a sneak attack from behind. The flustered Princess Lingsa and the dazed Holy Sword Maiden clung tightly to Rogge. Maya tried to pull the leaning Princess Lingsa back, while Ira stumbled and fell towards the middle.

Each person has a different expression.

The only constant was that everyone's face was filled with happiness and joy.

And all of this is being destroyed by Rogge himself.

It ceased to exist.

That year, the Society for the Study of Foreign History was dissolved.
