You put it in words so well - that grief and loss is what makes me feel sad and sorry for the professor instead of despising him for all his wrongdoings and hurting his students nearly beyond repair. This manhwa is so unbelievably beautiful in the way the characters are portrayed!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Memories of the lost ones haunt the living and it's not always a bad thing. It makes us appreciate more what we can lose in an instant and those who make our life a little bit less lonely. Also, professor carries a grief that he hasn't managed it well. That sorrow became anger and reflects the intensity of his feelings, for good and bad. Maybe the same grief is what motivated him and his mission, so he became obsessive with eyes only on what awaits for him at the finish line, something he had lost.
And it's sad that's the way he's coping with his pain.
