How To Survive at the Demon Academy - How To Survive at the Demon Academy chapter 56

An unidentified man visiting the training ground.

Of course, it’s not unusual for someone else to visit the training ground.

Since it was originally prepared for training, it was a space open to everyone.

However, this training ground where I am now is a little different.

It was because there was no one training here except me and my friends.

This training ground was relatively small, and it was a place that other students avoided as it became known that I mainly trained here.

In addition, the training grounds were prepared all over the Demonic, so there was no reason to run into me and train.

By the way, did someone visit such a place?

‘Are you a senior?’

This is the most probable judgment.

If you’ve used this training ground before, or if you don’t know that I train here, it’s a story that’s quite possible.

“Hoo?”

A man who was looking around saw me and Jetty and approached.

“Hmm.”

The man standing right in front of me looked at me with strange eyes.

It was the same for me too.

‘Senior seems to be right.’

It was the first face I ever saw.

Most demons were handsome, so being handsome wasn’t a feature, but his golden eyes were very unique.

I don’t know all of the freshmen, but I should have heard of this to some extent, but I didn’t at all.

Besides, most of my classmates tend to feel intimidated in front of me.

If not, I also looked at it.

It was only natural that there was a big difference in status and strength.

But the man in front of me didn’t feel that way at all.

“Are you sure this is Kyler Diablick?”

“That’s right. Who are you?”

“Well?”

The man’s face frowned slightly.

The expression that you don’t like something.

But from my point of view, I couldn’t figure out why.

First of all, I was like a senior, so I answered as politely as possible, and I didn’t have a particularly negative reaction.

“You don’t remember?”

So what?

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Huh.”

A look of blatant disappointment crossed the man’s face.

“Even though we were young, I thought we were quite close, but was it my mistake?”

what?

I was able to infer the situation to some extent from the man’s words.

The person in front of me is a close friend of Kyler Diablick.

‘This is difficult.’

Until now, he had never met anyone Kyler had come into contact with during his stay in Demonic.

So I was a little relieved, but I thought I was among the seniors.

I hurriedly asked Sebastian.

‘Sebastian, is this the person in your memory?’

＜Sorry. I don’t even know what happened before I was created. It doesn’t appear to be one of the important things to be aware of.＞

Certainly it was.

Sebastian doesn’t know everyone around me.

Sebastian is Kyler’s companion since he was 12 years old.

It was hard to remember the people I met or the people I passed by in my very childhood.

In addition, I memorized the people I must know just in case, but there was no man in front of me.

‘What should I do with this?’

You can just pretend you don’t remember.

It was hard to say anything carelessly in a situation where I did not know where and how I met the man in front of me and what happened to me.

“My name is Esca. Esca Valantino. And the Marquis of Ekron Valantino is my father. Do you still not remember this?”

I don’t remember at all.

No, I don’t know in the first place.

At least, thanks to what Esca said, I was able to infer the situation to some extent.

‘It’s probably highly likely that they encountered it when they visited the Devil’s Castle.’

I heard that in addition to the Great Demon King, there are demons of the duke, marquis, and count ranks depending on their strength and power.

An existence that can be considered quite high if it is a marquis.

The qualifications to meet the Great Demon King were sufficient.

“Have you ever met before?”

“I think it’s been about 10 years.”

If it was 10 years ago, it wouldn’t be strange if I honestly don’t remember.

Read at noblemtl. com

Unless you’ve been in constant contact since then.

Listening to the story, it seemed like we hadn’t met each other since 10 years ago.

‘Then it would be better to tell the truth first.’

I have to think and act in Kyler Diablick’s shoes.

And if you have figured out so far, Kylers should have walked out confidently in the current situation.

“I’m sorry. I can’t remember. It’s been so long, and a lot has happened in that time.”

At my words, Esca’s eyes showed disappointment.

“is it. Well, unlike me, you’ve met countless people. It is not unreasonable not to remember.”

Esca’s shoulders began to visibly sag.

“But since we met again like this, I wonder if we can build a new relationship.”

“Well? Really?”

Esca’s shoulders rise again at my words.

He seemed like a very easy-to-understand person with an immediate response.

“That’s right. You seem to have entered the Demonic before me, right?”

“right. I am a sophomore.”

“Since you are a senior, I look forward to seeing you in the future.”

“haha. I really wish you well. And you don’t have to treat me like a senior, so feel free to talk.”

“I can’t.”

“Okay. I asked to be friends when I was younger, but I don’t want to be treated like I’m only a year older.”

Having said that, it seemed that there was no need to forcefully show respect.

From my point of view, this was more comfortable.

“I get it. I’ll do that.”

“Now you look like the Kyler Diablick I used to know.”

We met 10 years ago when we were kids, I wonder how did you treat them like that?

“I have work, so I think I have to go. Actually, I only came to check your face for a moment.”

“okay. Let’s meet later and talk.”

“I get it. Enough then.”

Esca, who waved her hand and walked away, hesitated.

“Well… .”

“Why is that?”

After a moment of silence, Esca slowly opened her mouth.

“I belong to the student council.”

“Student council?”

It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.

Read at noblemtl. com

Until now, there had been no mention of the student council while staying at Demonic.

But when I thought about it, it was only natural.

‘Since the seniors were all out, the student council would have had nothing to do.’

It was a bit surprising that this eccentric academy even had a student council.

I didn’t think it was a proper group, but… .

“There are cases where freshmen become members of the student council. And if you are Kyler, you deserve it.”

“You mean to join the student council now?”

“It is not. But I think it will approach you in some way.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“This is Lucifer, the student council president.”

“I have no intention of joining the student council.”

The most important thing is to train and get stronger.

I don’t know what kind of activities the student council does, but if you belong, you will inevitably have to move for the student council.

It was not pleasant from my point of view now.

“Your doctor may not matter.”

“What do you mean?”

“Lucipel is a man who always achieves what he wants. And after I got to know him, I’ve never seen him fail.”

“therefore?”

“It’s about being careful. Lucifer will surely move soon.”

“Aren’t you a student council member? Can you let me know about this?”

“Because you and I are friends. And even if I said this, Lucifer wouldn’t care at all. Because he believes in his own abilities. He is so strong that I can’t even compare him.”

“thanks for letting me know.”

It is different from encountering something in a state of not knowing anything and encountering it with some degree of preparation.

At least just confirming that the other person is interested in me could be of great help.

“I hope you choose well.”

Esca left the training ground with a worried caution.

“It’s Lucifer… .”

I had a hunch that maybe we would meet sooner than I thought.

* * *

Accommodation after training.

I checked the information about Lucifer through Sebastian.

＜Lucipel Krause. As the son of the great demon king Satan, he entered this demonic 2 years before his master.＞

“You mean third grade.”

“That’s right.”

Lucifer was one of the important people Sebastian knew.

Even compared to me, his status and position as student council president are not inferior at all.

A presence that can have a great influence in this demonic in many ways.

‘Probably strong.’

I checked the status window of Esca I met earlier.

 Name: Esca Valantino

 Age: 19 years old

 Stats: Strength (634) Agility (657) Magi (694) Endurance (653)

‘Esca is not pushed back compared to Galius.’

Balanced stats without any particular deficiencies.

He was weaker than me, but I could definitely say he was strong.

Lucifer said that Esca was so strong that he couldn’t even compare to himself.

It was unclear to what extent.

‘Two years is bigger than I thought.’

It can be said that the experience and strength gained from rolling outside of the demonic made a pretty big difference between freshmen and seniors.

Of course, I’m at a level that surpasses most of my seniors, but Lucifer was also on the condition that he wasn’t lagging behind me at all.

Since he is the son of the Great Demon King, he must have learned the special Evil Force, and he must have polished himself through various training and help.

‘Two years more than me.’

What mattered was what feelings he had for me.

“What is the relationship between your father and Satan?”

＜I can’t say I’m on good terms.＞

“You mean hostile?”

＜If you dare to argue, you can see that each other thinks of each other as rivals.＞

Then his son, Lucifer, could have had similar feelings for me.

‘That sounds like a nuisance.’

I am not afraid of defeat.

Because there is definitely something to be gained through defeat.

However, if the opponent is the son of Satan, the story is different.

‘Perhaps the words will come out in various ways.’

Maybe something happens that goes into the ears of his father, Diablo.

‘I don’t think it will go well if that happens.’

Combining the various information left in the diary, Kyler was extremely reluctant to tarnish the name of his father, Diablo.

That’s why I had to somehow stop him from losing to Lucifer and bowing his head.

“The things I have are not pushed.”

For me, there are many advantages that Lucifer does not have.

Among them, the only things I can count on are the status window and skills.

It was a factor that helped me achieve much more growth even if I invested the same amount of time.

Besides, there was also the existence of Zeon.

It’s not like I signed a contract right away, but in the end, Xeon will be a great help to me.

“After all, time is an issue.”

It’s also about getting stronger through training.

And getting closer to Xeon and signing a contract.

It was something that time could fix.

＜Don’t be too hasty. I will also find out how to help the master in various ways.＞

“Thank you.”

Like Sebastian said, it was best not to be impatient, but to do what I could do now.

“Artifacts won’t help much either.”

The sword obtained from Cedric was obviously a good artifact, but there was a high probability that the opponent also had many good artifacts.

“No, wait.”

there was.

Another weapon I have.

A weapon that can be much more effective depending on how you use it.

Then, as if waiting, the weapon appeared.

“Mr Kylers. I’m sorry, but even if I go out for a while… Why?”

Dwarf Rain looked at me and tilted her head.

“lane. You said you were an excellent craftsman.”

“That’s right.”

Traditionally, it was said that the best was temp.

There is an existence in front of you that will make that tempal to the maximum.

I smiled at Lane, who had a puzzled look on his face.
