'Go!'

Both Theo and Rintaro turned around and rushed forth.

"Teac—" The students couldn't help but gasp, not understanding why their teachers suddenly rushed toward the people.

After seeing the illusion that showed the five targets, Rintaro hurriedly took out two human-shaped talismans. "Rinki, Ginki!"

The two human shaped talismans shone brightly and formed a humanoid form. However, there was something different from these two humanoid figures. They actually had a pair of tails on their backs, showing that they were not a human ghost.

The two familiars moved toward the direction that their master hinted and immediately turned around with both hands up.

Rintaro also did the same, creating a triangle that covered all five people. "Ong!"

The triangle was formed with their bodies as the pillars. The five people that got affected by the curse suddenly screamed at the top of their lungs.

"Aaaahhhh!"

"Wh-what?!"

"What is happening?"

The people were confused, but they could actually see a black light flowing out of their mouth, eyes, and nose as though Rintaro was expelling something from inside their bodies.

Haruka couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. "He's expelling a curse from inside their stomachs."

"Curse?"

The process didn't last for a few seconds before Rintaro stopped pouring his essence, allowing those five people to be freed from the purification force. He even shouted, "Give those five people a laxative. They are eating something they shouldn't have… I have purified the energy, but they still have to expel it manually."

…

Meanwhile, Theo was heading straight to the human that the ghost possessed. Theo could easily see through which one of those six people was possessed by the ghost because they had one common thing.

All the possessed items actually entered their stomachs. In other words, there was only one way to insert those cursed items inside their bodies, which was none other than food.

In other words, the impostor was the chef, the one who gave them all that food.

The chef looked shocked. It was supposed to be impossible for them to figure it out, but he seemed to have made a grave mistake.

Theo placed his hand on his back while activating his spirit. To fight a ghost, the best weapon was definitely the scythe. So, Theo hoped the scythe would appear.

Unfortunately for him, there was no way such a thing would be given to him in this kind of situation.

Instead of a scythe, Theo actually formed no weapon on his hands.

'I hate the author. To think that he would give me this kind of weapon to fight against a ghost.' Theo gritted his teeth.

Seeing that the ghost was raising both hands as black-colored energy oozed out of his body, Theo hurriedly snapped his finger.

Toon Demon's Second Authority, Toon Territory!

All of a sudden, the floor seemed like it was expanding outward.

"Huh? What is this?" The people were confused and couldn't help but fall to the floor. They could see that the floor was indeed moving, but it looked like they were expanding outward to get as far as possible from the chef.

Whether it was the equipment or the humans, everyone was affected.

Theo could finally use this power again. In the past, he used his own power to manipulate the environment such as expanding or shrinking a domain, manipulating physics laws, and even controlling reality.

The Toon Territory allowed him to manipulate the environment to a degree. While it was not at the level of his previous power, it was still enough to grasp a little bit of his original power.

The chef realized that his last trick of using people as shields couldn't be executed anymore. So, the only way to do it was to defeat Theo with his own hands.

The chef's eyes suddenly turned completely black as though they had been replaced by a black hole. A tiny red pupil formed in the middle. His hands and feet were both covered with black-colored energy like that of gloves and shoes.

More importantly, this black essence spread around the floor and turned into tree branches, sharp fences, and even snakes.

"Die!" The chef shouted as those things surrounded Theo. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

At this time Theo waved both of his hands, showing the weapons he got from the spirit.

Without anyone realizing it, all those forms got sliced into pieces. They couldn't even see what Theo did in order to destroy them.

"Huh!" The chef hurriedly clutched both hands as a creature's head swallowed Theo.

Even then, the creature ended up being sliced into pieces without even lasting for more than a second.

With another wave of Theo's hands, the ground got cut and rose as if something pulled them out. It messed with the black-colored floor that the chef had created.

"Ah, that's…" Jayden gasped. "Isn't that the same weapon as the one we fought in Aurora's world?"

"!!!" The other students turned to Jayden, wanting to know what he saw.

"Wires?" Aurora narrowed her eyes, only to find the thin threads barely.

"Teacher can even use such a weird weapon like wires?" Luca gasped while Lucas added, "Is he a human?"

"Uncle's technique, huh?" Mia murmured. She heard from her mother that there was friction between Theo and his parents in their original world. It was resolved before she was born, but she was also aware of her father's brother. Theo used the pretense of learning the wires technique from him to fix their messy relationship, but it was surprising to see that technique here.

"Is he just going to copy what that guy did?" Aurora wondered, considering it was an extremely rare weapon.

However, Theo was going one step further.

After cutting the ground with his threads and pulling them out, Theo had created enough environment to seal the chef.

He extended both his hands forward, shooting out wires that circled around the chef's hands before attaching them to the solid rocks he had pulled earlier.

"Huh?! I can just cut this." The chef hurriedly formed a blade with the black essence, trying to cut the wire. To everyone's surprise, the blade was actually repelled by the wire.

In fact, even though the wire looked tensed, it somehow stretched itself when it was hit, avoiding most of the impact. Theo also added one more trick in this thread.

If one looked closely, they would realize that the wire was not one. There were multiple wires that had been woven together.

Theo used the simple spiral technique where he joined multiple wires into a single spiral. After that, he created the same thing multiple times and joined them together, creating a very solid and durable wire.

This technique had been used by industry for a long time, so Theo just used that technique to make his thread more durable. Though, the precision and speed needed to form that type of wire were something that only Theo could do.

Now that he had sealed the chef's hands, Theo moved on to his feet, neck, and upper body so that the chef couldn't escape.

Rintaro hurriedly rushed to Theo's side after seeing the chef's state while taking out his talisman to purify the chef immediately.

But before he could do that, Theo asked, "Why are you doing this? There is no grievance between us, but you are causing all this mess and even killing the civilians."

Realizing that it was impossible to escape physically, the ghost smirked. "Kekeke. Like hell I'm going to tell you. Do you think you have captured me with just this?"

The ghost suddenly separated himself from the chef. Rintaro hurriedly tossed the talisman. His two familiars also surrounded him from two sides.

"You're not getting away!" Rintaro activated his talisman as quickly as possible.

Even Theo summoned more wires to wrap the ghost, which had the same appearance as the one he saw earlier.

But as Theo expected, his wires couldn't touch the ghost even when he coated it with his essence. If this was the same supernatural being he faced in Haruka's world, he would have crushed the opponents. Unfortunately, he had to face a ghost who didn't have a physical body. The author was truly a sadist, Theo thought. It seemed that he had to resort to his illusion if he wanted to defeat the enemy.

"It's gone." Rintaro gritted his teeth. The two familiars also disappeared after they failed to do their job.

Although they had failed, Rintaro had successfully purified and destroyed the catalysts. In other words, the barrier that enveloped the building had disappeared, allowing them to hear the ruckus outside.

A huge loud 'boom' sound vibrated the entire building as all of them couldn't help but turn their heads to the exit.

Theo, Rintaro, and the rest of the students rushed to the outside, finding Iris on the ground not far from them. She had sustained a lot of injuries after fighting a monster.

The monster was made of black energy. It looked like it had a physical form, but when one observed it closely, they would realize that the monster was made of hair. Iris seemed to have cut a lot of parts and the monster had a hard time regenerating its body.

However, the moment a face appeared on the monster's face, which happened to the face ghost itself, the body was regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It released a strong fluctuation of energy that caused the ground to tremble. Iris glanced back and noticed that they must have finished the matter outside. Iris said, "Oh, you guys are quite late. I have warmed this guy up."

Theo turned around and shouted, "Don't come out if you don't want to die."

Some of the fighters stepped forward and volunteered to help. However, Rach couldn't help but ask, "Is it that strong?"

"Someone stronger than you is lying over there, do you even have to ask?" Theo pointed at Iris, not caring whether he was rude or not as long as he could convince them as quickly as possible.

"Oi… was what I wanted to say, but it's extremely strong." Iris took out the talisman that Rintaro gave her earlier. It had turned black and seemed to be burning at the tip. "It's completely gone."

"As expected…" Rintaro sighed. That talisman was used to protect her from the possession. The fact that it reached that state meant that the enemy had been trying to control her.

Theo couldn't help but turn to Rach. "Besides, you have a more important role. Do you remember what we discussed earlier in the manager's room?"

"Huh…" Rach was confused for a few seconds before recalling one more important thing to do. "The opposite side of the hotel?"

"Yeah." Theo nodded. "Bring those guys as well. I'll leave it to you."

Rach nodded with a solemn expression. He didn't realize that Theo had been the one commanding them the whole time. Whether it was his charisma, charm, or simple manipulation, it still didn't change the fact that Theo was in charge the whole time.

"Miss Iris. Do you mind holding it back a bit more? I'm going to prepare something. Mr. Rintaro will help you this time."

Rintaro nodded his head, so Iris didn't have any objection. "Got it."

"Alright. Everyone except for Mia and Lancelot will help!"

"Oi. We're not here to take care of children." Iris frowned.

"Don't worry. They are my students. If any of them cause you trouble, tell me about it. I'm going to deduct their score until they cry." Theo smirked.

The students couldn't help but tense up. However, their eyes were burning with passion as though this was a perfect chance to show what they had learned so far. Theo wouldn't send his students to their deaths after all.

Serena was the first one to make a move by taking out a perfume that raised their physical ability. Even Iris couldn't help but feel the surge of strength. "I see… If that's the case, I'm going to raise a complaint if they're causing trouble. We've given the monster enough time to recover, so it's enough handicap for fighting all of us here."

Without hesitation, Iris leaped to the front to engage the monster again. After that, Theo turned to Lancelot and said, "Alright. It's time I taught you the trick to control your fire."
