2nd Round Villain - 2nd Round Villain chapter 121

121 – The dawn and enlightenment of the academy.

The great devil, Satan.

The source of all evil that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden apple in the Garden of Eden. The Holy Church in the western part of the continent evaluates Satan as the number one devil or the primordial evil.

Some even talk about Satan as a demon god, the creator of demons. Of course, the two are completely different entities.

Satan is one of the seven great demons. Arrogance, sloth, lust, envy, greed, gluttony, etc… Among the seven emotions that are the essence of evil, Satan is the devil representing anger.

However, Satan should not be viewed on the same level as the other seven demons. He is the first of all demons. Just as there are Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, who are the archangels among the archangels, even among the angels, Satan stands above the other demons and is the apex that can be compared in power to Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.

Only the devil of indolence can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. But the devil of indolence is too lazy to enter the world. Therefore, the one who can be called the pinnacle of demons in the present world was Satan.

“Whoop whoop.”

Satan’s ominous laughter spread through the cold night air.

“Why are you laughing?”

“It’s just that I’m looking forward to it. As you said, isn’t it a rare game?”

“Right.”

“furthermore… It’s surprising that two of your descendants, as strong as that, were born in this generation alone.”

Lucifer’s wings flapped in the middle of the night sky. As if ignoring the laws of physics, no matter how much his black wings were whipped up and down, the air never wavered.

“two?”

“Why are you like this? No matter how much I am playing, I have ears to hear. It means that there is no use pretending not to know.”

“That’s not it, two? Who else can compare to the demons who have just entered this academy?”

Lucifer asked with a look of sincere wonder. Satan responded with a calm face.

“Your Lucifer family cattle owner, Adela Lucifer. That Oscar is the student’s older sister.”

“… Oh, I’ve been focusing on that Oscar lately, so I forgot about that. Yes, Adela was there too.”

“I heard that you have already surpassed my father’s level a long time ago, is that correct?”

“father? Kick, the current head of household, he’s no big deal. There’s not a single guy stronger than him. And besides, he’s going to the goal soon, isn’t he? Last time I saw it, it looked like it was going to end soon.”

“You are too much. Aren’t they your descendants anyway?”

“descendant? If, after tens of thousands of generations, we still have to treat them as descendants, aren’t all the people who are fighting against me on the continent aiming violence at their blood relatives?”

“Huh, that’s right. That’s why humans are attractive. Isn’t the smartest and stupidest of all species just like looking at cute goblins?”

Satan giggled grimly. As if he was fed up with that, Lucifer pointed his finger at the academy dormitory with a disgusted expression on his face.

“Why is a guy like that a teacher at this academy? Only grown up people play with them.”

“Are you curious? How children who were pure good and pure evil grow up to become smart and stupid adults. Well, at this Eden Academy where I was assigned, only students over the age of 18 enter, so all of them are big enough to have big heads.”

“You’re in a state of mind where others will laugh at you saying you’re crazy.”

Lucifer’s finger was withdrawn. I don’t understand, but the answer is the answer. Now, it was my turn to accept Satan’s question in good manners.

“still… Abi is no big deal, but old Adela Lucifer is a great guy. If there is Cheonwoong on the continent, should it be said that there is Adela in the Pandemonium? Oscar It’s because that guy showed such an absurd performance. Adela’s talent is also bizarre.”

“How old are you this year? Adela.”

“About 1500 years old? For details, you can look at the history of the elves. Because Adela’s childhood, when she went to the elves’ village and messed around with her, remains as a shameful history for them that they will never forget.”

“1500 years old… It is said that each demon has its own growth limit, but there has never been a demon that continues to grow even after reaching 1500 years of age.”

“I know, but I was just distracted by the demon named Oscar.”

“Hmm, I heard about his performance from you, but… It’s a bit embarrassing to rate it so highly. It’s great, but I don’t know if it’s enough to completely forget about the monster named Adela.”

“… .”

Satan’s eyebrows drooped. Gulp, gulp, the thin liquor in the whiskey chugged down his throat.

“If you’re that curious, why don’t you test it yourself? That’s great, you also have the title of teacher.”

“… Shall we try it? No matter how much I am, I’m a little afraid of losing Chuck to Dean Merlin… Well, if it doesn’t show, how can I make a good plate?”

“Kick, if the game is over, ask me to call you too. There is nothing more saddening to those who live a boring life than missing out on a good spectacle.”

Imagination and creativity began to spring up in the devil’s mind, which had forgotten its duty of anger. Lucifer, who watched it from the side, got goosebumps.

‘What is this crazy devil doing… .’

Then, as soon as I remembered something, I changed my mind.

‘no… You’d have to use a lunatic like this to see Chaos. That’s why you told Satan about Oscar from the beginning.’

As the conversation deepened, dawn broke. Satan pointed at the sky turning ultramarine blue and said.

“Yes, I will call you. But are you not going? If you remain at this academy even after daytime, you might run into a monstrous old man called the Great Sage, right?”

“Go, go. So don’t look at me.”

Lucifer turns his back. As Satan waved his hand at the back of his disappearance beyond the dimension, Lucifer paused for a moment as if he had suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

“right. Satan.”

“why?”

“Do you know anything about ‘Chaos’?”

“Chaos? Why all of a sudden about that?”

“There is something I need to find out about. It’s strange, it is said that it is most closely related to the creation of the world, but everything related to it is hidden in ‘thorough secrecy’. After living for millions of years, I gradually got tired of living. Let’s find out about that before we die.”

Lucifer hid what was to be hidden and spoke only the truth.

“hmm… I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you about Chaos. Oh, of course I don’t mean to kill you because I hate you or covet your presumptuousness. I think curiosity is the most beautiful desire regardless of race.”

“You mean you know, but why can’t you tell me?”

“It’s the same reason you can’t teach sentences to a child who can’t read. Those who do not know the truth do not deserve to know about ‘chaos’. That is why I cannot speak.”

Satan adamantly cut off his words. It was time for Lucifer to resign himself and turn around.

“but.”

“hmm?”

“There is one person who records and manages all the secrets in the world. go to him Oh, and don’t forget to bring a bribe to dig up the secret.”

“ah… ?”

“Secret angel Raziel. I don’t have permission, so I keep my mouth shut… Raziel, who has the authority of ‘management’, can write something ‘shortcut’, right?”

His eyes narrowed like thread, and he smiled. At the same time, the arrogant devil’s destination was set.

*****

Time passed quickly as I talked about this and that with Maria at night. Exposed to the sunlight of dawn rising from afar, I spoke to Maria insinuatingly.

No, I think the expression whispered is correct. Now Maria is sitting on my lap.

“Since you’re doing this, it’s like reading a book to a baby.”

“Can I take that to mean I’m cute like a baby?”

“Are you a baby? compared to me. I am over 500 years old.”

“Now my ‘mental age’ is also over 500 years old.”

“Saintess, if I add up my age in my previous life, I am over 1000 years old. I was educating Aru in Masurim while the saintess’s ancestor’s ancestor’s ancestor’s ancestor’s ancestors were eating formula.”

Perhaps my pun was amusing, Maria smiled. A smile that is so deep and profound that it is impossible to read the inside, but also a pure smile. It is only Maria.

Swoop-.

“But I think it’s time to come out. the sun is rising It means our time is running out.”

He supported Maria’s hips and lifted them up. Even though she wasn’t as skinny as she was in Tartarus, Maria, who was as light as cotton, was easily lifted.

Maria, who understood what I was saying, showed a look of pity.

“It is already dawn. My time with you was so precious that I didn’t even notice.”

“Right now, the light is only coming in through the windows, but soon the doors will open and students and librarians will come in. Until then, you have to go back to the dormitory. If you don’t want to be photographed by the head of students from the morning of the second day.”

“It’s not something to do even if you think about ‘that day’. However, it is regrettable to part with Joker-nim.”

“don’t worry. I will come again tomorrow Would you like to change locations starting tomorrow? Shall we take a walk around the city at night?”

“… For now, see you at the library. There are still many conversations to be had.”

When I said this as if to reassure Mary, who was concerned, Maria put on a more relaxed smile. It is time for the students of the academy to wake up. I trudged to the window of the library. Maybe it was the same way anyway, Maria followed me.

I put one foot on the window sill to jump over the window. Maria took hold of my collar with a careful hand.

“I… Joker, before we part like this, there is something I want to tell you.”

“what is that?”

“Me of the day… So it has to do with me as a child.”

“So what? tell me soon I have to go.”

Maria’s cheeks were blushing, as if she was ashamed of something. His eyes were also slightly lowered.

“When I was young, I… I don’t know if you’ve already been through it, but it’s a little arrogant personality. In fact, rather than being arrogant, there is no part of you that is intoxicated by your own authority and fame. I don’t think people in the world should unconditionally honor me, but I took it for granted that I was honored to a certain extent.”

“I know, when I told her that I hadn’t heard of the name Maria, they were quite embarrassed and disappointed. Of course I understand. Since she was a child, everything in the world has been holding her up, but if she grows up humble, she is a psychopath.”

“It’s embarrassing. Anyway, I’m glad you know. I was worried that I might cause trouble to the Joker because of that.”

“What if it hurts? I am human and I can make mistakes. And the saintess is the person who embraced me in those days. I will also embrace and embrace the young saint’s mistakes. Couldn’t there be anything more fun than that?”

“… !”

A ripple spread across the saintess’ face. What should I say, the saintess pursed her neat lips while making an emotional expression.

“really… We still have a long way to go.”

“huh?”

“Once again, I feel that I did a good job in edifying. isn’t it? The word embrace came out of the mouth of a person who was called the continent’s second evil… .”

“Hey, did you know that now?”

No one believes me, but I’ve been rehabilitated a lot.

Are you real?
