Looking at those two teachers—those monsters who had devoured countless innocent students—I felt an overwhelming surge of rage storming through every fiber of my being.
I wanted to make them suffer.
I wanted to tear their limbs apart, to make them feel every ounce of pain they inflicted on their victims.
I WANTED TO KILL THEM AND BRING JUSTICE!
And in that moment of burning fury—
A sudden system notification appeared.

As I read the notification, I instantly stood up, heart pounding, my grip tightening around my weapon.
I assumed my stance, ready for battle.
The two monstrous teachers broke into a crazed, hysterical laughter.
> "Ahahaha! You fool! You really think you can defeat us?"
> "You pathetic little rat!!" they screeched with demonic voices, charging straight at me.
But then—
A thunderous sound echoed as a 10-foot-tall Weight of Justice crashed into existence beside me, radiating an overwhelming holy aura.
It looked like the mighty justice symbols from ancient judgment halls—radiant and terrifying.
The moment the monsters laid eyes on it, their smug expressions vanished.
They trembled.
Their faces twisted in horror—as if they were staring straight into the jaws of death.
And before they could even react—
Hundreds of glowing shackles burst forth from the Weight of Justice ⚖️, piercing their hands, feet, necks, chests—every essential point of movement—binding them completely in place.
Their screams echoed in agony, raw and pitiful.
> "PLEASE SPARE US!!" they wailed.
"We can guide you to where the other students are! We'll serve you! Oh powerful master—PLEASE!!"
"Shut up!!!"
I roared, eyes blazing with fury.
> "Did you show mercy to the students you devoured?"
> "Did you stop eating when they screamed in pain—when they begged for their lives?"
I looked down at the lifeless body of a student…
A student who had been begging for mercy just moments ago…
And I clenched my jaw.
> "Those who show no mercy, shall receive no mercy!"
> "They shall not be spared by JUSTICE!!!"
With that, I charged forward—
And with every ounce of righteous wrath, I unleashed a flurry of devastating slashes, tearing their bodies into pieces.

As I glanced at my updated status, I turned to see Ella…
She was lying near the barrier of the rooftop, just inches away from the edge.
Thrown by that last brutal punch, she hadn't fallen… but she was still there—stunned, aching.
She slowly sat up, body trembling.
> "Jefford…" she whispered, voice low but clear.
"You're really… powerful. It makes me want to grind endlessly too… because I don't want to be a burden to you."
She clenched her fists.
> "But no matter how strong I grow… the enemies just keep getting stronger too."
> "I'm scared, Jefford… I'm scared that I won't be able to help you. That you might die—because of me!"
As she spoke, her eyes began glowing faintly red.
Her aura flared violently—unstable.
She was starting to transform into the Fallen Dark Angel again.
But I didn't hesitate.
I rushed to her side and pulled her into a tight embrace.
> "Ella… don't think like that," I said softly, firmly.
> "Don't let your emotions break you. Yes, we'll face strong enemies—but we'll face them together."
> "Have faith. We will overcome this. So please… come back to your senses."
Her breathing slowed.
Her trembling stopped.
And finally—her red aura faded.
She returned to normal, holding onto me with a quiet sigh.
