Chapter 521: Torture 101

"I need a volunteer, themarian students"

Katherine knew Katherine knew that Riley Ross beco some sort of teacher was bad, really bad She never would have thought in a e to sos that could happen, out of all the possibilities, the universe was now bearing witness to the worse thing that could ever happen to it—thethe strongest species in the entire universe how to inflict as much pain to someone else as much as possible

Katherine wanted to cover her face, and unbeknownst to her, she was actually already doing so The air around the lecture hall beca at each other and were just blankly staring at Riley

A second

A minute

And a couple s that could live for thousands and thousands of years, this silenceat all But for humans, well—Riley seemed like a patient person, but Katherine knew that isn't truly the case

"H through the entire hall, "It doesn't matter who volunteers first as all of you will, sooner or later, be forced to coe"

"What?"

"For you to inflict pain…" Riley closed his eyes before touching his ear, "…then you must know pain"

"!!!"

And all of a sudden, Riley pulled and co some of the students to instinctively stand froet into their combat stances

"Aerith knew pain," Riley whispered as he looked at Princess Esest themarian I have met besides my adoptive mother I do not knohy or how, but Aerith allowed herself to learn pain—no do I know that?"

Riley started walking as his ear started to regenerate But before it could fully heal, Riley ripped it off again; even with all the blood splattering on the floor, however, his white hair that floith the air re with his coat

"Because never once did she scream when I tortured her People have personality, and you have to prepare torture that is according to their nature It doesn't matter if one claims to be immune to pain or torture, torture will always have an effect one way or another But what if their nature prevents the up?"

"" Everyone then sat back in their seats and started listening to their new professor's words

"Aerith did not only learn pain, but she also rowing back, "She spent an entire year coled, bodiless—Aerith made herself comfortable with pain because she kno to control it…

…How do you beat so at each other, waiting for someone to answer Riley's question And very soon, the person at the very front raised her hand

"You try and try again until you find where it hurts," Princess Es," but alas, Riley quickly shook his head and shut her down, "Aerith represents hope that can never be broken But that doesn't mean that you can not torture her—if pain does not work, then you target her mind…

…Torture is never about physical pain, it is always psychological"

"Themarians can recover their brains and mine, Professor Riley"

"It can recover, but it will not be the same," Riley shook his head, "My torture methods are separated into twoOne The Short One is used to just play around, for those that are easily broken"

"Hoould you knohich one to use?" Princess Esme placed her hand on her chin as she held soers, she see notes on it

"You study your victim For example, Miss Katherine"

"Huh?" Katherine could not help but blink a couple of tiestured to her

"I used a Short One on Miss Katherine during our earlyaround Katherine, "Katherine Read was a hopeful person whose entire goal in life is to be a superhero"

"Riley?" Katherine's eyebrows started to furrow

"She is not weak, not at all Even now, she can probably kill one of you if she truly put the effort into it," Riley nodded, "But she is fragile At an early age, her father left her and herher love that should have been reserved for both parents to only one, herher head

"That is all you really need to know to break her," Riley, however, did not stop, "When Katherine learned a secret of ue—it is quite effective because I have a prior reputation of being ruthless, that helps too Like an egg, Katherine started cracking there and then"

"" Katherine could really only bite her lip as Riley continued to reveal things about her

"I started learning more and more about her; what she likes, what she wants, what she needs, what she craves But these things are only mildly important because the cracks can also be used to s you can dictate," Riley then placed her hand on Katherine's chin,

"Things that are broken can be reshaped into a more beautiful piece"
