Justice delayed is justice denied.

Under Viktor's relentless lecture, Astraea's expression gradually darkened.

Viktor had told her this before, but she hadn't taken it to heart.

That really shouldn't have happened.

But the lessons are not over yet.

"To choose to openly fight criminals in order to uphold justice is an even greater mistake."

At this point, his gaze turned deep and cold. He sternly reprimanded Astraea, whose head was bowing even lower.

“The enemy is not ready, but you insist on waiting for them to be ready before you fight, even disregarding the lives of ordinary people around you.”

"Astraea, is your justice for your own satisfaction, or for the true benefit of others?"

Every word was like a cold steel nail driven into the heart of the goddess of justice.

The harsh reprimand and the conflict of her inner beliefs deeply shocked her clear mind, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.

Seeing the goddess of justice lost in deep thought, Vega stared wide-eyed in surprise at her single eye.

I couldn't help but mentally complain to Viktor:

"Victor, where did you learn all these principles from?"

"Compared to her, I feel you are the true goddess of justice."

After saying that, Vega looked Viktor up and down, and said with a mocking smile:

"Okay, at least you don't look like a 'goddess'."

Victor ignored Vega's teasing and instead stared at Astraea's expression, which seemed to be questioning the meaning of life.

He realized that his words had already affected her.

Then, he shook his head and concluded with a single sentence:

"Do not refrain from doing good because it is small, nor do evil because it is small."

"Astraea, your justice is not a performance for anyone to see."

At that moment, Astraea slowly raised her head after hearing these words.

Although her eyes were obscured by the helmet.

But Viktor could also sense that she had suddenly realized something.

I see,

As long as it's for justice, even if it involves more ruthless methods than evil.

But being able to eliminate evil in advance is efficient justice.

In that instant, the goddess of justice realized her mistake.

She no longer felt awkward; the idea of ​​confronting evil head-on had completely vanished.

Evil is evil, and any means of eliminating evil are just.

Sure enough, this human before her understood the meaning of 'justice' better than she did.

Astraea firmly believes that choosing to follow him was the right decision.

Those who are accomplished can be teachers, and Viktor has clearly surpassed her by a great deal on the path of 'justice'.

Astraea then bowed deeply to Victor.

Even with a blank expression, one cannot hide the other party's respect.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

Viktor nodded calmly, appearing relaxed and at ease, as if everything was under his control.

They managed to fool them again.

However, the price he paid was that his students suffered a bit as a result.

The next second, Viktor's gaze swept over Aurelion, who was lying quietly on the ground.

He originally intended to hold her the whole time, so that the empress wouldn't fall to the ground while unconscious.

But when Astraea looked at him holding Aurelion in his arms, Victor instinctively sensed a danger.

This gaze wasn't coming from Astraea, but rather... from Gwen inside her.

Victor could sense that as Astraea became more human, the personality belonging to Gwen was gradually regaining its emotions.

So, in order to prevent Gwen's recovery from going to waste, Viktor decisively threw Aurelion, whom he was holding, to the ground.

Students are students, and wives are wives.

Viktor can distinguish between the two.

Now, the most crucial thing is to make Astraea's ideas more human.

As for his elementary school student...

"Kokote".

Viktor shouted,

"Please take her back to the room she came from."

Then, a dissatisfied grumbling came from the previously visible verdant magic circle:

"Honestly, all he does is order me around."

As the branches and leaves danced wildly in the air, a ghostly green light emanated, and Kokot slowly appeared from the center of the formation.

She sat on a cloud, yawning, looking languid.

He squinted at Viktor with a hint of complaint, then pouted and said:

"Don't forget, you haven't fulfilled the two requests you promised me."
