Kang Cheol-su kept all the words he said and the promise he made with me.
Ripping off all of the Fallen Worshipper’s limbs, but not killing him.
But rather, that promise was making the Fallen Worshipper suffer even more.
“Please, please kill me…!”
“Hmm, I also want to burst your head right away, but my student requested otherwise.”
As Kang Cheol-su said that and took out a recovery potion from his subspace ring.
“Ah, no……!”
The Fallen Worshipper reacted violently like a child who didn’t want to get a shot.
But there was no way for him, who only had a torso left like a tadpole, to resist.
“No, no…, Grrrrk……!”
In the end, the recovery potion was shoved into his mouth.
Gulp, gulp.
Every time the potion went down his throat, the parts where the Fallen Worshipper’s arms and legs were located healed.
In proportion to that, the bastard’s face was stained with various negative emotions such as despair, pain, and anger.
Seeing that, I realized that the reason the bastard begged to be killed was not because his limbs were ripped off, but because of the potion.
A potion that opened a mouth that was tightly shut even during the pain of limbs being dismembered.
…It’s terribly scary, the potions in this world!
‘By the way…, is it because my mental strength has increased?’
Even seeing this bastard’s appearance with his limbs dismembered, I didn’t feel anything.
I definitely couldn’t even watch cruel movies well before possessing this body.
But now, how should I say it…, although I frown at the fishy smell of blood, I don’t feel nauseous or find it hard to watch at all.
It’s like an insensitive feeling as if looking at a mannequin.
‘Don’t tell me, have I become a psychopath?’
With that thought, I recalled the horror movies and thriller movies I had watched so far.
And the moment the scene of a person being killed by a murderer appeared in my head.
‘Ah, this is a bit.’
I immediately felt uncomfortable in my stomach.
At this, I looked at the Fallen Worshipper who was being tortured with potions again.
Then, as if I hadn’t felt uncomfortable at all, my stomach felt at ease.
‘Ah…, is it like this?’
It was not that I didn’t feel anything because my mental strength had increased.
Whether it was unconscious or conscious, I didn’t think of the bastard as a person from the beginning.
Literally, like Kang Cheol-su, I was looking at the bastard as trash that needed to be eliminated from this world.
After sorting out my thoughts like that, my mind that had been as confused as throwing a stone into a lake became peaceful in an instant.
‘I was worried for nothing.’
Feeling relieved that I hadn’t lost my humanity, I approached the Fallen Worshipper.
Then, the bastard’s gaze that had been directed at Kang Cheol-su turned to me.
“…Ki, kill me……”
Perhaps the effect of the potion was so painful that the bastard’s voice begging to be killed became even more desperate.
Squatting in front of the bastard like that, I said with a smile.
“Do you want to die?”
“…Kill me……”
Unlike Kang Cheol-su, when I responded to him, a bit of hope flickered in the bastard’s eyes.
The hope that he wouldn’t have to suffer any longer.
“Alright. I’ll kill you.”
“……!”
“But only if you tell me this.”
However, there was usually a price to pay to fulfill hope.
So tell me.
The Fallen you worship.
Since when has Greed been active?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Perhaps because it was behind-the-scenes information that couldn’t be known in the game.
The information the Fallen Worshipper spilled was very useful.
The first was finding out that the named Fallen who had been influencing the academy from the beginning of the story was ‘Greed’.
The second was finding out that he had contacted the Fallen Worshipper a month ago and that ‘Greed’ had given orders through the symbol of corruption.
The third was finding out that he connected the mock rift and the double rift, choosing the time when the academy was very busy with the entrance exam.
After finding out a total of three pieces of information like that, I felt I had seen enough and left the place.
Although the Fallen Worshipper desperately called out from behind, ‘You have to kill me before you go, where are you going!’.
I had no more business with the Fallen Worshipper now, and I had never directly promised to kill him.
The bastard just mistakenly assumed on his own and spilled the information.
And I didn’t lie.
That bastard will die as he wishes.
After Instructor Kang Cheol-su vents his anger for a while.
Leaving the rest to the instructor like that, the place I headed to was the ‘Manufacturing Department’.
Since I had money now, there was no need to use rubber bullets anymore, right?
So I was thinking of finding the instructor in charge of the Manufacturing Department that Kang Cheol-su mentioned last time and requesting the production of live ammunition.
Of course, since I was resting tomorrow as well, there was no need to handle everything today.
But since I’d already moved, it was better to handle everything and rest even if I got a bit busy.
With that thought, I followed the building’s guide map and arrived not at a shabby office like the Supply Department, but at a factory.
And that place, fitting its name as the Manufacturing Department.
Whiiiir, clank, clank.
Rrrrrrr, rrrrrrr!
It was very noisy.
“Hey, be careful over there!”
“Hey, bring the impact! …No, not this impact, bring the impact wrench!”
“Who made this! The screws aren’t tightened properly!”
They were working very busily.
In such a hectic scene, I couldn’t dare to enter the factory.
And I couldn’t bring myself to stop someone and ask.
While thinking about what to do outside the factory like that.
“…? Why are you doing standing there?”
A woman’s husky voice was heard from behind.
When I turned around to check.
“What is it, you? Judging by your uniform, you seem to be a 1st year, why aren’t you in class?”
A woman was looking at me while smoking a pipe in a crooked posture.
Her appearance was almost like looking at a lion.
Bright yellow eyes and bright yellow hair.
Even her hair was rough and voluminous like a lion’s mane.
And looking at those ferocious manufacturing pockets that couldn’t be hidden even by work clothes.
She must be the instructor in charge of the Manufacturing Department that Kang Cheol-su mentioned.
Still, to confirm, I called out to her.
“Excuse me…, are you the instructor in charge of the Manufacturing Department?”
“Oh, that’s right. Who are you?”
She was indeed the manufacturing instructor.
“Hello, Instructor. I’m Lee Yu-jin from Class 1-A.”
“…Lee Yu-jin?”
As soon as she heard my introduction, the manufacturing instructor took the pipe out of her mouth and stared at me intently.
And then she suddenly asked.
“The gun?”
“Pardon?”
“Where’s the gun?”
She was looking for the gun.
At this, although I was a bit flustered, I took out the pistol ‘Holy Gun’ from my inventory and showed it to her for now.
Then, as if that was the right answer, the manufacturing instructor who received the gun started examining it closely, turning it this way and that.
After examining the gun for a while like that, the manufacturing instructor took a drag from the pipe.
“Whew……”
Exhaling towards the air, she placed the pipe on the workbench.
Then, as if it was amazing, she said while looking at the gun.
“This gun, it’s not just a gun but an item, right?”
“…Ah, yes. That’s an item, but is there any problem…?”
“No, it’s not a problem. It’s just that it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen a gun-type item.”
At those words, I looked at the manufacturing instructor with a puzzled face.
Becoming a manufacturing instructor and saying it’s been a long time since seeing a gun-type item?
…Don’t tell me, because this world focuses on cold weapons, there aren’t many firearm-type items?
As soon as I thought that, the manufacturing instructor nodded and said,
“That’s right, as you’re thinking, gun-type…, to be precise, there aren’t many firearm-type items.”
“…Ah, was it showing on my face?”
“Oh, you need to work on your expression management. Your thoughts are too visible.”
The manufacturing instructor said that and returned the gun to me.
“Anyway, you came for the production of live ammunition, right?”
“Yes, that’s why I came.”
“Alright, wait a moment.”
Then, putting the pipe back in her mouth, she took out something from under the workbench and placed it in front of me.
It was an ammunition box of the same type as the box containing rubber bullets.
But…, there’s nothing in it?
“Excuse me, Instructor. There’s nothing in it.”
When I asked like that,
“It will appear now.”
The manufacturing instructor closed the ammunition box she had opened again.
And then…, she tapped the box with the pipe she had in her mouth.
“There, it’s done.”
Suddenly saying it’s all done, she opened the ammunition box again.
What I saw then was.
“No way, what……”
Live bullets filling the ammunition box.

Question. Weren’t the fallen supposed to be a superhuman that got consumed/corrupted by their power? So why are they got worshipped like a god or something?
He’s a Fallen Worshipper. Not a Fallen, just think of them as Warlocks who take or Channel power from Evil Gods or smth?
Think of it like Noah/Noah’s Mother’s ability. Faith/Worship in an entity gives em their power. So technically speaking…they’re a Super
