How To Survive at the Demon Academy - How To Survive at the Demon Academy chapter 77

next day.

During training as usual, Rain, who had been confined to the studio, came to visit.

“Mr Kylers. Are you okay for a minute?”

“Of course. What happened?”

“Ah, since yesterday, I’ve been experimenting with various things to find a material to replace the branches of the World Tree.”

I know.

It was because Lane, who was inspired by my words yesterday, skipped meals and stayed in the studio.

If you think about Rain’s personality, he doesn’t come out until he finishes the job.

‘I think I’ve found a solution.’

There was a bit of tiredness on his face, but there was a sense of relief that covered it.

“Were there any good results?”

“Well… To some extent. It’s not perfect, but I was able to find about two major substitute materials.”

“That went well.”

At my words, Lane scratched her head.

“By the way… That material is lacking.”

“Not enough? I’m sure you can get all the ingredients?”

Externally, Lane is known as my servant.

That means that you can get all kinds of benefits.

That’s why it was normal to be able to get all the materials in this demonic.

“That is… It was hard to find in this one. No, to be precise, the quantity was absolutely insufficient.”

“What is it?”

“Let’s see… The ingredients are the heart of a Bloody Golem and the scales of a Heldrake.”

These are the first ingredients I’ve ever heard of.

It was natural that he hadn’t grasped everything about this demon realm yet.

There are many ways to get information, but there is absolutely not enough time to digest them all.

‘Since Sebastian is there, there’s no reason I need to know everything.’

Sebastian, fused with the Hunter Launcher, could be seen as an all-around encyclopedia, so I didn’t have to memorize small details.

It was Sebastian who gave Lane information about the various ingredients.

“I heard from the master’s familiar that it is a material that is quite difficult to obtain.”

“Hmm… .”

It would be better than going through another dimension, but if Sebastian said it was difficult, it seemed like a very valuable item.

‘Then should I go hunting monsters?’

I don’t know what kind of monsters they are, but I don’t think the hunting difficulty is too low.

However, I think that hunting is possible to some extent if it is my power now.

There are various skills, and Xeon, who can create various variables, is also with me.

‘What… If it’s really difficult, you can go with Harold or Toby.’

After the incident in Delune’s dungeon, the two of them owed me.

It was clear that if I asked for anything, he would listen.

‘Are the monsters that give me the ingredients I can deal with?’

＜If it is the power of the current owner, I think a single object will be possible.＞

‘It’s a single entity… .’

That said, it can be difficult when many people come together.

To be sure, it also seems better to get help.

However, I had to put that thought to rest in the words that followed.

＜In the current situation, it seems difficult to obtain materials through hunting.＞

‘Why? Don’t you know the place?’

＜I know the habitats of the monsters. But there would be no point in going now.＞

‘why?’

＜The bloody golem’s habitat is Blood Canyon located in the northern part of the Pandemonium. It’s not too difficult to get in, but the problem is that the Bloody Golem only appears during certain periods. To be precise, it’s a monster that can only be encountered for about 3 months from summer to early fall.＞

May now.

Spring is still in full swing before summer.

It is a story that even if you go now, you will not be able to meet the monster and you will suffer.

‘Then what about the other guy?’

＜In the case of Heldrake, it mainly lives in a place called the Valley of Storms located in the southeast of Pandemonium.＞

‘Isn’t that guy coming out now too?’

＜No. Heldrake can be hunted by going right now.＞

‘Then Heldrake first… ,’

＜The problem is not the monster, but the place where the monster appears. The Valley of Storms is located within the domain of Endmion, the Dark Flame Dragon.＞

‘Demon Flame Dragon Endmion? ah… .’

I remember hearing from Sebastian before.

Although he is not the Great Demon King, he is the 4th ranked strongman in the Demon Realm with power comparable to him.

If you were in the realm of such an existence, it was difficult to step in recklessly.

‘Is Endmion on bad terms with his father?’

If so, you must give up.

You don’t know what problems might arise.

Even if he was with Harold or Toby, there could have been situations that he couldn’t handle.

＜It’s not bad, if you ask me. But that’s Endmion’s position outside the realm. He does not allow other forces to enter his realm. Not just Diablo, but anyone else.＞

When I heard the story, he was a strong person with an extremely closed personality.

Of course, the beings under him must be similar.

‘Is it impossible to go in after all?’

＜Yes.＞

The situation is different from the Ethlon estate.

For the Demon Wolf family, the name of his father, Diablo, was well worth it.

Since the scale itself was different in the first place, it would have been difficult for them to treat me carelessly.

But Endmion is different.

The leader of a huge force with strength comparable to Diablo.

I didn’t know what each of my clumsy actions would lead to.

‘I can’t have an accident like that just to get one artifact material.’

The moment when you have no choice but to give up.

＜However, there are ways to obtain materials without hunting.＞

Sebastian gave me a new option.

‘Where can I get it? Is it in the castle?’

Come to think of it, if you ask the Devil Castle, you might be able to get it easily.

But Sebastian’s answer was not.

＜There are many excellent finished products in the castle, but there are surprisingly few materials. It’s not the one who made it in the first place, but the one who saved the finished one.＞

‘That’s right. So where do you get it from?’

＜It’s simple. You can get it from the market.＞

‘Mayor?’

It was said to be a very valuable material.

Can you get it at a market that usually sells things?

It’s nonsensical to anyone to see.

＜There are quite a few black markets in Pandemonium. And one of the largest black markets, the Rigron Black Market, is just around the corner.＞

‘It’s a black market… .’

It was the moment when my next destination was decided.

* * *

black market.

A place that often appears in the novels you read.

There was a similar place in the days when I was active as a hunter in the past.

‘I’ve never used it myself, though.’

The Black Market is a place where you can get all sorts of goods, hard-to-find goods and generally illegal goods that are difficult to trade.

Now Sebastian was referring to the black market.

‘Can anyone use it?’

Due to the nature of the black market, there must be some parts that are secretly operated, so it was not something that could be solved by going blindly.

＜Of course. But I think it would be better to hide your identity and go.＞

‘I get it.’

I don’t think I’m as famous as my father, but I’m sure there were people who would recognize me.

It was better to prevent the possibility of getting caught up in something bothersome.

There was no reason to take the time to make a decision.

I said looking at Lane.

“I’m going to go get the ingredients right now. What are you going to do?”

“I will follow. It is the material that I have to deal with, so it would be right to see and choose it myself.”

“great. then… .”

– I want to go to Xeon too!

Xeon suddenly interrupts the conversation.

Of course, there was no reason to refuse.

Read at noblemtl. com

Unlike his youthful appearance, Xeon was an existence that could create huge variables.

“I get it.”

– But where are you going?

“It is a place called the Leagueron Black Market.

– Wow!

Did you say that you would follow me without knowing where you were going?

Certainly, I had to say that he looked like a child.

The moment he was about to leave for the black market, including Rain and Xeon.

“there… .”

Jetty, who was training a little away, approached.

“If it’s okay, can I go with you?”

“Well? You too?”

“yes.”

I was a little taken aback.

Jetty, who recently had fun learning magic, tended to stay at the training ground.

“There’s nothing wrong with it… Is there any special reason?”

“I overheard a conversation by chance, but you said you were going to the Rigron Black Market?”

“It happened.”

“Actually, my hometown is not far from there.”

This was the first time I’d heard of it.

Come to think of it, it was the first time Jetty talked about her family or the situation around her.

“Let’s go together. It would be nice to take this opportunity to meet my parents and meet my friends.”

“ah… I have no parents.”

“… .”

I was momentarily speechless.

It was unintentional, but the situation blew the pad lip.

“that… I’m sorry. I thought my parents were dead.”

-Ah, Jetty doesn’t have a mom and dad?

stop it.

Seeing Xeon blowing a pad lip with an innocent expression makes me embarrassed.

-I don’t have Xeon, hehe.

Xeon even does self-pad-lips.

I’ve never been embarrassed, but now I’m breaking out in a cold sweat.

Seeing me like that, Jetty tilted her head.

“yes? What are you talking about?”

Jetty rolls her eyes with an innocent expression.

“I just didn’t have my parents… .”

“Oh, Kyler didn’t know that.”

Jetty slowly explained the characteristics of slime.

“Our slimes originally had no concept of parents. It is a species born from nature.”

“Is that so?”

“yes! It can also be seen that it is similar to Xeon, a spirit. We live in a village, but if you have to put it that way, everyone is a family.”

Hearing the story is reassuring.

I wondered if I had hurt Jetty unknowingly, but if that was the case, there was no problem.

“okay. I will visit Jetty’s village after work.”

“thank you!”

“Then let’s all move to the magic circle.”

The moment you want to head for the magic circle that goes outside for movement.

“Nope. I can make a magic circle I know the coordinates.”

Jetty moved her wings and started drawing a magic circle.

Jetty is slowly but steadily completing the magic circle.

I approached Jetty with an unexpected appearance.

“Can you do something like this now?”

“yes! Because I trained hard.”

“Huh… .”

I know better than anyone that Jetty has been training hard.

I always spent a long time at the gymnasium and watched him not be lazy.

However, when I first met Jetty, who hadn’t even learned basic magic, let alone the Evil Force, it was an unbelievable growth rate.

‘In terms of growth alone, he might be faster than me.’

Read at noblemtl. com

Unlike me, who grew rapidly with the help of the status window and various talents, Jetty realized and used magic on her own, so it could be said that it was more amazing.

‘It must have been Toby-sama’s help, but even considering that, it’s a great improvement.’

So the magic circle was completed.

“Okay, everyone can go up here.”

Following Jetty’s words, we climbed onto the magic circle.

“Then let’s go.”

Soon the magic circle was activated along with the light.

Ugh-

After a while, we arrived at Rigron.

“Wow… It is a success.”

Jetty looking around and flapping her wings.

“It’s my first time doing it, so I’m glad it went well.”

?

I think I heard something strange.

“Could this be the first time you’ve used space movement magic?”

“yes. I practiced a lot, but this is the first time I actually moved.”

“… .”

Should I call this bold, or should I call it thoughtless?

It’s good that the result was good, but if it went wrong, it would have been pretty difficult.

-Wow! A lot of people.

“Is not it? The Leagueron Black Market attracts people from all over the Pandemonium.”

A smaller Xeon riding on the body of a smaller Jetty.

It seems that he is distracted from looking at the appearance of the black market.

＜Master. Would you like to look around first?＞

‘Well… Shall I do that?’

It’s not an urgent situation, so a little sightseeing seems okay.

As long as it’s not a situation where there’s an unnecessary dispute… .

Kwaaang!

“what? Who is this full-on guy?”

“How dare you touch my hammer! Do you know what kind of hammer this is!”

It seems that the fertilization has just begun.
