How To Survive at the Demon Academy - How To Survive at the Demon Academy chapter 105
Whoops.
A place reached through a magic circle.
Decent size, not too big and not too small.
The landscape looks empty without any special decorations.
It was my lodging.
“Should I say it’s been a while.”
It was not wrong to say that I had spent 2 months like 2 years.
“Whoa… .”
There is a saying that no matter how precious and good food you eat and sleep in a great place, your home is the best.
For me now, this room is home.
It definitely made me feel at ease.
“Because it was still burdensome to have a conversation with the Succubus Queen alone.”
Aside from the simple difference in strength, being in one place with a being in a far-high position is tiring in many ways.
furthermore.
‘I still can’t believe her ability level.’
In this dungeon, I grew tremendously.

Unbelievable speed compared to when I first landed here.
However, it was a bit of a shock to not be able to confirm Karina’s abilities.
‘Even with this ability, there’s still a long way to go.’
The fruits of my hard work over the past two months were displayed in front of my eyes.
◆ Name: Kyler Diablick
◆ Age: 18
◆ Stats: Strength (1,645) Agility (1,643) Magi (1,824) Endurance (1,746) Dignity (152)
◆ Skills: Diablic Force (S) Lv 8, Diablic Requiem (S) Lv 2, Indomitability (S) Lv 3, Demonic Barrier (A), Demon Fear (A)
Even after absorbing the Chaos Stone, his increased abilities clearly surpassed Lucifer’s.
In addition, the Diabloc Force, which has risen one more level.
Compared to two months ago, the status window was at an unbelievable level.
‘If I face Lucifer again, I can definitely win.’
It was only natural that he was ahead of him with pure abilities without the help of other skills.
It is now a level that even professors can break without difficulty.
But I couldn’t be more happy.
After all, I know that it is still not enough to reach the absolutes of the demon realm.
‘How strong he is.’
Even with a stat approaching 2,000, I couldn’t even confirm it, so it’s not expected.
‘Is it the same for Toby and Harold?’
Although both of them are strong, it is also true that they lack a lot compared to the Succubus Queen.
Maybe I could check the status window for the two of them.
‘Shall we go see you?’
I was curious about how the investigation into the warlock, Delune, was going, so I thought I could check it out.
– Ahh, the nostalgic smell of home.
At that time, Zeon, who was inside Silence, came out.
Xeon rolls over after throwing himself on the bed.
Since Xeon was still young, spending close to two years in a dungeon must have been quite difficult.
Even so, it was admirable that he did not express himself.
“Xeon, I’m planning to leave for a while, so what should I do?”
-Um, I’ll just rest for today.
“i get it. If you’re going to walk around, don’t get into an accident.”
-yes!
I immediately headed to Toby’s quarters.
“Toby. This is Kyler.”
But no answer came from inside the room.
‘Where have you been?’
You don’t know when you’ll be back, but waiting blindly is not a good thing.
‘I’ll have to come back later.’
The moment I was about to leave.
Whoops!
An explosion sounded from within.
Then came the sound of someone’s moaning.
“Big.”
The sight I saw as I hurriedly entered the room.
‘what’s this?’
There were two familiar people rolling on the floor.
* * *
Owls and slimes with tanned faces and bodies everywhere.
It was Toby and Jetty.
“This is a failure.”
“I’m sorry. I must have applied the formula incorrectly.”
“not. It’s my fault for not adjusting in advance.”
The two were flapping their wings and having a heated discussion.
I was so focused that I didn’t even notice that I had entered.
“there… .”
“Well? Who are you? no, how about you?”
“It’s Kyler!”
Toby and Jetty found me and flew away flapping their wings happily.
“Long time no see. I heard that you are training in the succubus queen’s castle, but is it over?”
“yes. Well done and back.”
“Kyler. Are you hurt anywhere?”
“okay. Weren’t you all right?”
“yes.”
Jetty couldn’t hide her joy when she saw me after a long time.
Toby was the same, but unlike Jetty, he was sending a strange gaze.
“you… You got stronger.”
“There have been some results through training.”
“I’m worried that we might catch up soon enough.”
Toby bursts out laughing.
Looking at Toby, I remembered the purpose of coming here.
‘I’ll have to check.’
I was worried about what to do if it didn’t show up like Karina did.
◆ Name: Toby
◆ Age: 82 years old
◆ Stats: Strength (1,645) Agility (1,743) Magi (3,324) Endurance (2,046)
Contrary to his worries, Toby’s status window was displayed properly.
‘It’s amazing.’
I couldn’t help but admire when I checked Toby’s status window.
‘I expected it to be strong, but.’
It was much stronger than I expected.
A situation where all abilities are higher than me, who grew rapidly with 2 months of training.
Besides, in Magi’s case, words didn’t come out.
‘Three thousand?’
Being a wizard, it was natural that his Magi stats were particularly high, but even taking that into account, it seemed too high.
‘But the fact that the status window is displayed means that I can fight the opponent.’
The criterion for the status window that Sebastian said is that I can handle it.
Obviously, the sum of Toby’s abilities was much higher than mine, but it wasn’t a gap that he couldn’t even touch.
‘okay. For now, this is enough.’
In the first place, he is a wizard who has lived decades longer than me and is called a wise man.
No matter how much he accelerated his growth by about two years with attributes, the power of time cannot be ignored.
For now, I decided to be content with being able to reach him.
“By the way, what were you doing here? I heard a loud explosion.”
“Ah, is that what you mean? I was teaching Jetty some magic.”
“To Jetty?”
“okay. I started learning when you were away for about two months.”
I turned my head and looked at Jetty.
It was Jetty who was still cute and radiating bright energy, but the atmosphere definitely felt a bit different.
“You’ve been working hard.”
“yes. I will become stronger to help Kyler.”
It seems that I haven’t forgotten my goal, which I confided to my friends two months ago after losing to Lucifer.
“It’s a good attitude. But don’t overdo it. If you hurry, it might be worse.”
“It’s okay because Toby-sama informs you well.”
“okay.”
If you are Toby, you can say that he is a very good teacher.
It was because he had such excellent skills and character that he had no worries even if he entrusted Jetty with him.
“By the way… .”
I identified the second reason for coming to see Toby.
“How are things going with Delune?”
“Well? That’s right, I wanted to talk about it anyway.”
Toby clicked his tongue lightly.
“I think they noticed something.”
“Are you noticing?”
“That there is a force after them.”
“Is that so?”
Two months of investigation flowed from Toby’s lips.
“Harold moved to catch the tail in earnest, and other factions started their own investigations. I also stayed here and did various research. But at the same time as the movement of various forces, all the movements of the black magicians, which were rarely revealed, disappeared.”
“You mean everything?”
“okay. All. Since then, not a single clue has been found.”
In a way, it’s a natural thing.
It is a black magician who has to hide his identity and quietly decorate his work.
In the meantime, it could be said that it was rather strange that the tail was caught.
“The lich guy also disappeared at some point.”
“If extinction… .”
“It means that the Life Vessel was destroyed. I don’t know if I thought it was no longer useful.”
The lich I caught and handed over to Toby.
There was little to find out because it was a small pike, but if it was enough to deal with such a small pike, it must have decided to hide itself.
“It’s bothering you.”
“What… I didn’t think it would be easy to catch in the first place. Still, just limiting their movements can be seen as having an effect.”
Their ultimate goal is the resurrection of Astaroth, the Great Demon King. Eventually, you will have no choice but to move.
And the hunters won’t miss the tail that is revealed at that time.
“So Harold-sama is still working outside?”
“right. He sometimes comes back to teach Erina, so maybe we can meet soon.”
“okay.”
Erina seems to be working hard not to fall behind.
“Okay, today’s training will end here.”
“yes? I still have something to practice.”
“Shouldn’t you give me some time to talk with a friend I haven’t seen in a while?”
Toby is considerate of me and Jetty.
I was grateful for that thought.
“thank you.”
“Thank you. Toby!”
“OK. Then I have something to study, so I will go.”
Toby disappeared into the lab inside, leaving only me and Jetty in the room.
“Kyler, you seem to have gotten really strong over the years.”
“okay?”
“yes! Something feels different.”
“Feeling that, Jetty, you must have grown a lot too.”
“Because I am working hard.”
It was a little touching to see Jetty working so hard at my sneaky words.
“By the way, where are the other guys?”
Normally, there is a high probability that they are training together at the gymnasium.
But since Jetty was here, other friends could have been training separately.
“uh… Erina is probably hard to see today.”
“Well? Did you even go outside?”
“He said he would stay in his room for an important training session today.”
“Right.”
“Serenia said she was going out for a while.”
“Well? Serenia said that?”
Serenia had a conversation with me without hesitation, but kept a distance from other friends.
By the way, does he inform Jetty of his destination?
It could be seen as quite surprising.
‘Did we get to know each other in the meantime?’
It’s not a bad thing to have close friends around you.
“yes. As we talked, Serenia was also a good friend.”
“Good luck, then. How is Albion doing?”
“uh… Albion must have gone to the arena now.”
“arena?”
“I said we were going to hold a big tournament this time. I heard that people from other areas flocked to it because there were so many products that were caught.”
“Hmm… .”
Arena and Albion.
It’s a pretty good combination.
It wouldn’t be very helpful if there were only low-level opponents, but thanks to the tournament, it would be a good experience for Albion if strong players flocked to it.
“Albion told me to come and see you when you have time.”
“okay? Then let’s go.”
“really?”
“Because I have nothing to do right now.”
At my current level, there is a high possibility that it will be difficult to find an opponent no matter how strong players are.
However, I had the intention of participating in the competition if a decent opponent appeared.
‘It’s not a loss if there’s even a product.’
“Then I’ll prepare the magic circle.”
Jetty skillfully completes the magic circle in a short time.
It seems that he has definitely improved his skills over the past two months.
“Then let’s go.”
Whoops.
Soon the magic circle emitted light and we moved near the arena.
“Wow, there are a lot of people.”
“I see.”
It was an arena where quite a lot of people usually gathered, but now it was crowded with several times that number.
“Be careful not to fall.”
“okay.”
Countless people entering the arena.
Seeing them made me feel like I was forgetting something.
‘what?’
Seeing things that don’t come to mind right away, it doesn’t seem that important.
“Then let’s go in.”
We moved into the arena where we could feel the heat.
