How To Survive at the Demon Academy - How To Survive at the Demon Academy chapter 81
Jetty was excited about the scenery of her hometown she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Here in Slashion Forest is a very peaceful place. It’s a place where everyone can mingle.”
As Jetty said, the atmosphere felt in the forest itself was unique.
Various animals were roaming around, and various plants showed off their presence.
– This is delicious!
After tasting the unidentified fruit on the tree, Zeon approached excitedly.
“You shouldn’t eat anything.”
– Still delicious!
“okay. Eat a lot.”
Lane focused on analyzing the rocks and trees around her.
“Oh, that could be used as a material. This is fun too.”
It was the first time I’ve been to this place, but it feels like I’ve visited several times.
‘Is it because the flow of demonic energy is different from other places?’
Since this forest also belongs to the Demon Realm, it was the same that demonic energy flowed through it, but the atmosphere felt in that demonic world was definitely different.
It was because the rough and ferocious Magi gave off a calm and warm feeling here.
‘It’s a strange thing.’
But it’s not that I don’t understand.
Depending on the type and tendency of the Evil Force, Magi also shows a wide variety of changes.
The magic of this forest could also be sufficiently different depending on the members of the forest.
“Okay, we’re almost there. right there.”
Jetty spread her wings and pointed somewhere.
“That… .”
A large figure that caught my eye from afar.
It was a huge tree.
A huge tree, the size of dozens of buildings, was showing off its presence.
“That’s our town.”
“It’s amazing.”
Are you using trees as villages?
Of course, looking at that size, it seemed possible.
Besides, the slimes weren’t big, so it wouldn’t be difficult to live in the trees.
The closer you get, the clearer the view becomes.
They were slimes appearing between huge trees.
-Wow! A lot of jetties!
Zeon’s eyes twinkled as he looked at the slimes filling the tree.
‘There are definitely a lot.’
Although the color and size were slightly different, slimes with eyes and mouths like Jetty were scattered everywhere.
“Well? Are you a guest?”
“Nobody can visit this place.”
“Let’s go.”
And the slimes that found our party came bouncing their small bodies.
The strangely rhythmic movement caught my attention.
“How did you get here? what? Aren’t you Jetty?”
“Hehe. It’s been a while. Uncle Jeff.”
One of the slimes in the party who discovered Jetty’s existence trembled with joy.
“Isn’t it the time when you are in the middle of learning at the academy?”
“I came to play because I had some free time.”
“Heh heh, nice to meet you. I was curious about your news. You’re doing well right?”
“I am doing very well.”
“Then you are fortunate. By the way… .”
Jeff’s gaze turned to me.
“Who is this person?”
“Oh, my friend Kylers.”
“This is Kyler Diablick.”
“Oh oh! If you are Jetty’s friend, you can say that you are a friend to everyone in our village. Nice to meet you.”
The slimes welcomed me without any wariness.
I was a little embarrassed by their defenseless attitude, but I could see that their nature was good.
– I’m Xeon!
“Oh, I have a little friend too.”
“I am Lane.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Numerous slimes were also approaching and greeting Xeon and Rain.
An atmosphere that genuinely welcomes and likes others without any prejudice.
I think anyone who stays here will be swept away by this atmosphere.
“By the way, I don’t think I’ve heard of the name Diablik somewhere.”
“right. I’ve heard of it somewhere too… .”
“Kailus is Diablo-sama’s son.”
“Ah, Lord Diablo’s son… uh?”
In an instant, all the slimes’ eyes turned to me.
“that… If it’s Diablo-sama, we know… .”
“you’re right. My father is a dreadlord.”
“Huup!”
All the slimes around them stopped moving.
and.
“Gosh! A place where such a precious person is humble.”
“Have a feast now!”
“Where is the village chief!”
An atmosphere that quickly turns into a commotion.
I thought it would be a bit of a surprise, but it was a much more violent reaction than I expected.
“it’s okay. I’m here as Jetty’s friend, so you can treat me comfortably.”
“It can’t be! You can treat us like slaves.”
The reaction that reminds me of Jetty when we first met.
‘At that time, I asked Jetty to be a slave too.’
Jetty wasn’t unusual, it just seemed like ‘all the slimes in this town’.
‘This is almost at the level of fanaticism.’
I had forgotten most of them because I was living in Demonic, but I realized again that the name value of Diablo, my father, is beyond imagination.
Looking at the slimes surrounding me, I can feel the atmosphere that they will listen to anything I say.
‘But it’s a bit excessive.’
No matter how great the reputation of the Great Demon King was, this kind of reaction was unexpected.
No, it’s fair to say that it’s strange.
Rather than bowing down to the majesty or power of the Great Demon King, it feels like welcoming a benefactor.
‘There must be other circumstances I don’t know about.’
I don’t know what the circumstances were, but it was true that the current atmosphere was uncomfortable.
The moment you try to convince the surrounding slimes.
“haha. What’s all the fuss about?”
A deep voice came from somewhere.
* * *
The commotion that died down like a lie.
It was the result of a single person’s voice.
‘what?’
When I turned my gaze to the direction where the voice came from, an existence caught my eye.
‘Slime?’
It is perfectly natural and normal for slimes to exist in Slime Village.
However, the slime in front of me was a bit unique.
Color first.
The surroundings were overflowing with colorful slimes, but none had a dazzling golden color like the slime in front of them.
Next horns.
Read at noblemtl. com
Unlike the other slimes, the golden slime had horns protruding from either side of its head.
It reminds me of demons.
Finally a beard.
The white beard growing under his chin was stealing his attention.
“Hmm? Jetty, what are you doing?”
“hello. Chief.”
Jetty repeated what she had just said.
Then the bearded slime’s gaze turned to me.
“Ohh. Diablo’s son?”
“Nice to meet you. This is Kyler Diablick.”
“My name is Luke. I am in charge of the village chief.”
polite attitude.
However, it felt different from other slimes.
Compared to the slimes who came in with a bit of servility because they were so extreme, Luke did not lose his dignity.
“Let’s go into the village first. You can’t have guests stay outside.”
“Then I will take care of you.”
We follow Luke and head inside.
A small village was created under a large tree.
“We usually sleep on top of trees. Other than that, I’m living in the village.”
“okay.”
As Luke said, pretty much everything was prepared in the small town.
Blacksmiths who make restaurants or goods.
A school where young slimes study.
Even shops that buy and sell goods.
Although it was a slime, it seemed that a society was formed like normal people.
“Now, this is my home. Come in.”
It’s a small house that can fill up with about 10 people.
It was more like a warehouse than a house.
However, based on the slimes, it could be seen as a mansion level.
“I don’t need a separate house. Sometimes guests visit, so I prepared it.”
Luke has no limbs, but uses magic to quickly set up a table for refreshments.
The slimes seemed to be excellent at using magic as a whole.
I think the fact that Jetty grows quickly is also a characteristic of the species.
“Now, let’s talk more while eating.”
“thank you.”
– Wow! looks delicious.
“Ohh. You can feel the craftsmanship on this table.”
A nondescript transparent drink.
When I tasted it, it was much better than I expected.
“It’s a drink made from a mix of different fruits. Does it taste good?”
“Excellent.”
“Fortunately, the.”
While enjoying refreshments like that, a warm atmosphere continued.
“It seems Jetty has evolved… Did Kylas-nim help you?”
Luke brought up the story of Jetty.
“I didn’t do anything special. It must be said that Jetty has awakened on her own.”
It is true that Jetty’s awakening as an arc slime was motivated by the desire to save me.
But in the end, it was hard to see it as my help because it was the result of Jetty’s own actions.
“I think I learned the Evil Force separately.”
“That helped me a little bit.”
“Ohhh, you did too.”
“If it wasn’t for Kyler, it would have been harder for me to adjust.”
“haha. I’m glad you’ve gotten a lot stronger.”
As I listened to the conversation between the two, I suddenly felt something strange.
‘You noticed that you learned the Evil Force? I noticed right away that he became stronger.’
You may think that you have become stronger because you have evolved.
However, Luke clearly felt Jetty’s growth in his tone.
For a moment, I wondered how strong the chief of Slime Village was.
‘But since he’s the village chief, wouldn’t it be different from normal slimes?’
I checked Luke’s abilities through the status window.
No, I was trying to check.
However.
<Unable to check opponent’s ability.>
An unexpected message appears before your eyes.
‘Can not confirm?’
This meant only one thing.
That Luke is unimaginably strong.
‘Does this make sense?’
By my standards, slime is a weak monster.
Of course, this is the first time I’ve met other slimes other than Jetty, but from the common sense I’ve known so far, slimes are definitely not a strong race.
I looked back at Luke talking to Jetty.
‘Well… .’
A golden slime with a beard.
No matter where you look, it doesn’t look strong.
To be honest, it’s even cute.
‘Even if it’s ordinary, it’s too ordinary.’
Even if Toby, Harold, and Duke Ethlon couldn’t check their abilities, they still felt the atmosphere of the strong.
But Luke was different.
It feels like there is nothing different compared to Jetty.
However, he was a slime with incredibly strong powers.
“I will work harder and become stronger. Enough to beat the village chief.”
It sounds like your standards are too high.
“Haha, Jetty, you will be able to surpass me in no time.”
It seems like it’s been a while.
“Hehe.”
Jetty, who didn’t know anything, just laughed.
“By the way, is Diablo-nim doing well?”
Luke asks how his father is doing.
It’s an ordinary question.
But I felt something strange.
‘Have you ever met your father?’
Luke’s way of speaking had a different feel than asking about the well-known Great Demon King.
I asked a question out of curiosity.
“You were doing well the last time we contacted you. By the way… Have you ever met your father?”
“Sure. I owe a lot to Diablo-nim. And the same goes for our village.”
It was an unexpected word.
A combination of the absolute existence of the Great Demon King and slime.
Because it wasn’t a very good picture.
“Could I hear more details?”
“In the past, Diablo-sama defeated a vicious monster that threatened our village. Thanks to that, we can safely settle down here.”
“I guess that happened.”
“I don’t think you’ve ever heard of it. What… In fact, from Diablo-sama’s point of view, it probably won’t be very memorable.”
I couldn’t say anything at Luke’s words.
I couldn’t have imagined that I would meet someone who had a connection with my father in this way.
But at least I could say something nice.
“no. My father must remember Luke and this village.”
“Haha, if that’s the case, I’m glad. Oh, yes.”
Luke approached with twinkling eyes.
“Could you please give me a chance to repay the favor?”
“If you want, I can deliver it.”
“It’s not that great.”
Luke put something on the table.
‘This… .’
Maybe it’s because of great luck.
