How To Survive at the Demon Academy - How To Survive at the Demon Academy chapter 64

‘Did you fail the assignment?’

Of course, it can fail.

Not all students were given the same level of difficulty.

However, if it was the skill of Erina I knew, it should have been on the side of success.

furthermore.

‘Are you crying?’

The water droplets in his eyes were clearly tears.

I checked again to see if I was mistaken, but nothing changed.

Looking at his tightly closed lips and trembling shoulders, he seemed quite resentful.

‘No, it’s a bit strange to say that I failed an assignment.’

We haven’t known each other for very long, but I think we’ve gotten quite close with Erina.

And if it was Erina’s personality that she had been through, it was absolutely not suitable for her to show tears to others.

If you cry secretly when you’re alone, wouldn’t you know? In a place like this?

No matter how you think about it, it was strange.

‘I’ll have to find out.’

Still, one of the few friends I made after coming here.

I wondered if it would be okay to do something to soothe her.

I approached the crying Erina.

“Has anything happened?”

“!”

Erina hurriedly steals her eyes at my words.

“it’s nothing.”

“It looks like you failed the assignment, but what kind of assignment was it?”

“It’s just because I made a mistake. Never mind.”

“It’s okay, so let’s talk.”

“It really is nothing!”

Erina was blatantly showing that she didn’t want to talk about it.

I tried to talk a little more, but it didn’t seem good to keep bothering me in a situation where I was reacting so sharply.

“Okay, the failed personnel will be contacted later, so you can go back.”

Erina leaves her seat as soon as the professor’s words run out.

It was the fastest movement among Erina’s actions I had ever seen.

“Hmm… .”

I thought we became quite close, but I guess it wasn’t enough to have a deep conversation yet.

On the other hand, I also thought that there might be things I don’t want to reveal to anyone I’m close to.

“If I wait, I might be able to talk on my own, but… .”

However, I was a little worried about leaving it alone.

That was because it was a reaction that Erina had never seen before.

It was vague to follow, but at least I was able to attach someone to confirm it.

And right now, by my side, there was an existence that could follow Erina without anyone noticing.

“Zeon.”

-yes?

“Follow Erina and find out what happened.”

-Is that all you need to do?

“okay. Be careful not to get caught.”

-okay. If Xeon made up his mind and tried to hide himself. can’t find anyone

Zeon, who received the mission, disappeared excitedly.

“I hope Xeon finds out something.”

I went back to my seat, hoping it was no big deal.

* * *

Demonic’s president Veigar.

He didn’t do much that made him unfit for the position of chancellor.

But today, I was working frantically among countless documents.

“Hmm… Right.”

While checking the documents, books, and magic marbles piled up on the desk, I heard someone knocking on the door.

smart-

“Sir, this is Michael. May I come in?”

“Come in.”

The one who opened the door and entered was Michael, the professor.

“okay. Did the freshmen go out well?”

“There were some wounded. I don’t think there were any major accidents.”

“What… More details will be reported later.”

Veigar said, putting down the book in his hand.

“Didn’t you say you observed Kyler Diablick’s assignments?”

“That’s right.”

“How are you?”

“It was amazing.”

A simple but heartfelt sentiment.

At those words, Veigar gave a light exclamation.

“Hoo? Is that enough?”

“It was a force befitting the lineage. Besides, he seemed to have a composure that was befitting his age.”

“Also… Should I say that it is his blood and blood?”

It was Veigar’s decision to send Kylers Diablick to Neptune’s Forest for this freshman outing.

“I got a report. They said they wiped out Neptune’s forest.”

“yes. It was truly enormously powerful. To be honest, even the professors had a hard time responding to that attack from the front.”

“More than expected.”

Neptune’s Forest is obviously very difficult, but it’s not impossible to conquer.

But that’s a story when there were a lot of people.

Normally, it would have been possible to have at least ten people.

Besides, new students needed more people.

‘But the two of us solved it.’

If you listen to the story, it was practically the same as Kyler Diablick alone.

‘Maybe it will bring a new wind to the quiet Demonic.’

Although he was a freshman, he was quickly emerging, so it seemed okay to look forward to it.

‘That way is more fun from my point of view.’

Veigar smiled as he imagined what would happen next.

“I’ll just go.”

“Let it be. Oh wait.”

Veigar turned and grabbed Michael as he was about to leave.

“Do you have any instructions?”

“It is not. Are you getting used to it now?”

“To some extent. Hasn’t it been quite a while?”

“okay? Good luck then.”

“I am doing my best. So don’t worry. And Veigar-nim, you must also keep what you promised.”

“Sure. We are researching in various ways and research is underway, so if you wait, there will be good news.”

“All right.”

Michael leaves his seat after lowering his head.

A strange smile lingered on Veigar’s lips as he looked back.

No special rewards were given to freshmen who completed the assignments.

All they did was order the disbandment after checking the roster.

‘I didn’t even expect it in the first place.’

At least in this demonic academy, it was something that should be taken for granted.

I met and talked with Jetty and Albion who passed the test.

“Everyone made it safely.”

“It was easier than I thought.”

“Hehe, Jetty worked hard so it worked out on her own.”

The tasks the two received were also not significantly different from mine.

To fight and win against a certain monster in a certain place.

However, there was a huge gap in the types and numbers of opponents.

“Is that true? How could you do that to a freshman?”

“Wow, Kyleus, how did you succeed in that?”

Albion and Jetty, who heard about what I had been through, made faces of disbelief.

And seeing that, I was convinced that the mission I had been given was abnormal.

‘I’m sure it was on purpose.’

I don’t know what the purpose is.

Are you trying to harm me?

It won’t be.

My status is also my status, but in order to harm, I had to create an unavoidable situation and fall into a trap.

However, although this mission was difficult, it was carried out with enough corners to step out, so I didn’t think that was the purpose.

Trying to make students strong?

Rather, this seems more likely.

It’s already widely known that I’m much stronger than the other freshmen, so I could have prepared for the test accordingly.

‘Whatever it was, it worked well for me.’

His stats have risen a lot and he has also acquired new skills.

Rather, I even thought that it would be nice if this opportunity would come more often.

“By the way, have you ever talked to Erina?”

At my words, Albion shook his head.

“We talked briefly before the assignment started, but we haven’t seen each other after that.”

“So do I!”

“Hmm… .”

“Is something going on?”

Jetty asked with a worried expression.

Judging by the reaction, it seemed that the two did not yet know that Erina had failed.

‘I don’t think we need to talk yet.’

I don’t know exactly what happened, but I didn’t want to worry about it.

“It is nothing. What are you all going to do now?”

“Well… I plan to go back after doing some light training.”

An Albion-like choice among us who spends the most time training.

“I want to go to my room and rest. I’m a bit tired.”

Certainly, compared to me and Albion, who were relatively tidy, Jetty had a hard look.

“I get it. Then we’ll see you later.”

After parting with my friends, I returned to my lodging.

“Isn’t Xeon back yet?”

Before Xeon came, I had nothing to do, so I decided to meditate lightly.

“Whoa.”

Magi that circulates through the body through the Diablic Force.

I felt it every time, but Magi was a much stronger aura compared to magic.

Even with the same amount, it was superior in destructive power.

It was such an unwieldy energy, but the best Evil Force, the Diablic Force, was drastically reducing the difficulty.

while I was immersed in meditation.

– I’m back.

Zeon, who had been following Erina, has returned.

“You’re here. Tell me what happened.”

-That’s it… .

From Zeon’s mouth, the things that had happened so far flowed out.

After a while.

– That’s all.

“Hmm… .”

From what I’ve heard, it wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought.

But that’s the point of view of the person watching.

No matter how minor it is, it can leave a big scar on someone.

So it seemed good to quickly relieve Erina’s core.

“Where did you say the last place you saw it was?”

-uh? there… .

When I heard the place Xeon said, I turned on a blank laugh.

“If it’s like Erina, then it’s like Erina.”

I never thought it would be the place I went to when I was in a complicated situation in many ways.

“Let’s go see him first.”

I left the room looking for Erina.

* * *

“Aww! die!”

“Hahaha!”

“Are you a damn bastard?”

“Go away, weakling.”

Fierce fighting on all sides.

It was a common sight in the Demonic.

But there was something decidedly different.

Chow ah!

“Quaaagh!”

It was that there was no hesitation in killing the opponent right away.

A cow-headed demon holding onto a blown off wrist and walking backwards.

And a skeleton in black armor laughed at him.

This place where blood and flesh splattered and bones were shattered was an arena.

‘I came once before and stopped walking for a while.’

The actual battle in the arena was definitely helpful, but as I was busy in the demonic, I naturally drifted away from it.

It was the same with Erina.

However, it seemed that he had returned to the arena again, perhaps to relieve the stress he received from failing the assignment this time.

‘Let’s see.’

Erina was quite famous even when she came before.

So it didn’t seem too difficult to find even in this large arena.

“Prosecutor Lina is back! We are showing a stronger side than before.”

“That’s right. A faster and stronger sword. It feels like I made up my mind and made a comeback.”

The voices of commentators coming from far away.

I walked slowly towards it.

As expected, a masked Erina was fighting someone on the pitch.

“You damn bitch!”

The opponent with the head of a snake and the body of a bear charged at me brandishing a huge axe.

Quite a ghastly mood.

However, it wasn’t that much of a threat to Erina, who practiced consistently every day.

Erina, who lightly dropped the ax with her sword, dug inside in an instant and stabbed the sword.

Poo-wook.

“Gagging!”

The opponent was deeply wounded and backed away.

The situation has already been decided.

‘Looks like he’s very angry.’

If it was the Erina I knew, I could have done it to the point of incapacitating the opponent.

However, the previous attack was an attack with the will to harm the opponent.

‘It’s kind of strange. uh?’

The situation did not end there.

Erina slowly approached the opponent and swung her sword.

“Hup!”

The snake’s head took a step back and tripped on its own feet.

And the white sword light passing over it.

It was an attack that would have cut his throat if he hadn’t fallen.

“Ha, surrender!”

Opponent who urgently calls for surrender.

Erina turned around and left the arena without a word.

‘That guy, I can’t just leave it alone.’

I don’t know what happened, but the current Erina was definitely not normal.

I followed Erina, who was walking far away.
