How To Survive at the Demon Academy

Chapter 16

“By the way, are other functions besides telling the ability level now limited?”

＜As of now, yes.＞

“Hmm… .”

Among Sebastian’s abilities that have been fused with the launcher, the most helpful is the ability to tell the opponent’s abilities.

But other features are also important and, for me, essential.

First, let me tell you the map of this demon realm.

The Hunter Launcher also had a function that informed the information of the dungeon or gate, including the world map, but that function was not a very necessary function.

In the first place, since I’ve been to pretty much every place, I didn’t need a world map.

The guild informants tended to find all the information on places they were unfamiliar with, so the map function itself was not very helpful.

The same goes for information about dungeons and gates.

For gates and dungeons that have been cleared, except for very rare cases, the information has been made public through the Hunter Network.

I remember that I rarely used the map function while living as a hunter.

But in this demon realm, it’s different.

How wide this world is, how complicated it is, how the existing countries are, and where it is dangerous or not to go.

Now I have no idea.

There was a limit to obtaining information from Kyler’s diary or Sebastian’s help.

However, what if it is now fused with the Hunter Launcher?

You will be able to grasp a variety of information more efficiently.

Maps were one of them.

“What do I need to do to make a map properly?”

＜First of all, it has been completed to some extent through the information I had. However, since the information that can be obtained through books or video records is limited, it seems that you will be able to record it perfectly only by visiting it and seeing it with your own eyes.＞

That means I have to run around on my own feet and go around various places.

Not bad.

I had the idea of traveling to many places anyway.

However, the priority was to solve the problem of safety.

‘With my current skills, it’s unreasonable to wander around outside the academy.’

In Demonic, minimum safety is guaranteed.

Fights happen all the time, but at least fights in which you lose your life are prohibited by the rules.

But outside it is different.

You never know what will happen or what enemies will be.

Only here I am considered strong, but only among the students.

Since I saw with my own two eyes that there were monsters far beyond my abilities, I had to improve my skills to a certain extent.

‘I have to go at least to the level where I can’t be pushed against the professors.’

I don’t know, but if you’re at the level of professors, you won’t be at the level where you’ll hear that you’re weak.

If I become equal to the professors, I can say that I can protect my body even if I go to this demon realm.

Of course, as my status is the son of the Great Demon King, it may be possible to simply go to various places accompanied by an escort.

However, meeting with people who knew the original Kyler Diablick had to be delayed as much as possible.

‘If not to the perfect level, at least to the extent of not being suspected, it would be better to get acquainted with Kyler Diablick and adapt to it.’

Sebastian’s newly acquired last ability.

It was a function that informed the rankings of beings in the demon realm.

Of course, this feature won’t be perfect either.

It was said that rankings would be informed through information collection, but there is still a lot of information missing.

“The rankings of the powerful demons must not have been accurately grasped yet, right?”

＜Yes. In the case of absolutes who occupy the highest rank, or the Dukes and Marquises of the lower ranks, it is difficult to directly encounter them, and even if they do encounter them, their abilities cannot be immediately grasped.＞

“Right.”

＜However, based on various rumors, evaluations throughout the Pandemonium, and my experience, Diablo-sama’s ranking can be roughly measured. Can I tell you?＞

“Let’s talk.”

＜Diablo-sama is expected to be in the 3rd place in the Pandemonium ranking.＞

“You mean your father is number three?”

The word father comes naturally.

I’m glad that I won’t make mistakes even if we meet later.

＜Yes. Diablo-sama is one of the 5 Great Demon Kings who rule the Demon Realm. Of course, you are the one who can rank as high as you are now.＞

Certainly.

It’s one of the only 5 great demon kings, but it’s rather strange if the ranking is low.

‘If it’s 3rd place, is it average level among the Great Demon Kings?’

I don’t know how much the gap between the Great Demon Kings is, so I can’t know exactly.

It could be 3rd with little difference from 1st and 2nd, or it could be close to 4th and 5th.

“It seems that all the great demon kings are strong.”

＜Yes. It is natural that they are strong because they are the absolutes who rule the demon realm. However, it’s not like there aren’t strong people on the same level as the Great Demon Kings.＞

“What do you mean?”

＜In the case of Endmion, the demon flame dragon expected to be ranked 4th, he is not the Great Demon King, but he has power comparable to him. And there are many hidden strongmen underneath.＞

this is another surprise

I thought all 5 great demon kings would be in the top 5, but I thought there would be strong players comparable to him.

Once again, I feel how many strong people there are in the world of demons.

Beings that could not even be expected by the standard of human days.

After all, what I have to do now is simple.

“It’s training.”

I had to get stronger first.

* * *

Effective education is conducted according to a set schedule for a day at the academy.

Of course, that’s the case with normal academies.

And this demonic belonged to an entirely unconventional side.

Professors neglect students, and students take it for granted and fight among themselves.

Of course, there were a few who were dissatisfied with this method, but their voices were swept away by the great current.

‘There’s no way I’ll accept students’ complaints in the first place.’

This crazy academy couldn’t be that kind.

Rather, it’s good if you don’t push it to the extreme.

And my schedule for today.

“Well… The air outside is not bad.”

It was an outing.

To be precise, it was to visit the villages around the academy.

Read at readwn. com

Usually, there were many cases where large-scale commercial districts were concentrated around the place called the academy, and it was common that a huge city was gradually formed.

A huge village centered around the demonic was also formed around the demonic.

In the meantime, I stayed only inside the academy, but now it was a situation where I needed various experiences, so I came out.

“There’s no limit to students going out anyway, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Demonic and a huge barrier installed around the city.

It is said that students can move around freely as long as they do not get out of the barrier.

“The scale is no joke.”

A town comparable in size to a city on Earth is perfect for those who don’t know anything to get lost in.

It was the same for me too.

＜Master, if you go this way, you will find a shopping alley. The other side is full of restaurants.＞

I was able to come out without worrying about Sebastian, whose performance was overwhelmingly improved by fusing with the Hunter Launcher.

‘I’m probably the only one who uses a navigation system in Pandemonium.’

In this Demon Realm, there were many cases in which various help was obtained using familiars, but there were many restrictions on what they could do.

However, Sebastian, who even absorbed science and technology, was able to do much more diverse things because he was beyond the limits of a normal familiar.

“Where did you say the dark side is?”

＜I will guide you.＞

Sebastian moved his small wings vigorously and flew forward.

‘Go to the dark… It will be fun.’

The purpose for which I came out today.

It was a visit from the dark side.

To be precise, to visit the arena in the dark.

‘There’s nothing better than actual combat to become stronger.’

Practicing the Diablic Force or fighting with other students doesn’t have much effect at this point.

It had to be at the level of the professors to bring about a change in ability, but I was still not enough to hold on to the professors right away.

If you force it, you can attack it, but it was hard to see it as a very efficient method.

Then, in an instant, Sebastian came up with an opinion, and now he set out to find the arena.

‘It would be helpful if I went through a more intense fight.’

Even during my past Hunter days, I trained to the point of overexerting my body, and I wasn’t the type to avoid dangerous situations even in real combat.

This world of demons has many strong people who can’t even compare to the earth, and it’s even more dangerous.

So I also had to become stronger faster.

‘Students from the academy went to the arena and fought. If it was Earth, it wouldn’t have been strange to receive a warning right away.’

Failure to do so could result in expulsion.

However, there are no restrictions in this demon realm.

No, should I say that I don’t really care?

Even if I found out, I would have done it if I praised it, I don’t think I’ll hear hateful things.

It’s not enough at the academy, so they go outside and fight.

The place we arrived after following Sebastian for quite a long time.

“Is this here?”

A huge circular building.

A building reminiscent of a Colosseum or soccer field was emanating an unusual aura even at a glance.

Perhaps it is a mixture of speculation and murder spewed out by the numerous people who are fighting inside.

I walked slowly towards the entrance.

“What are you here for?”

A gigantic figure comparable to Albion blocked his way and spoke.

“There must be one reason for visiting the arena.”

“If you want to participate, go through the door on the left, and if you want to watch, go through the door on the right.”

“I will participate.”

“I wish you luck.”

I had already worn a mask before leaving the academy.

It wouldn’t matter much if his identity was revealed, but it didn’t seem like the son of the Great Demon King would come in and out of a place like this and hear good things about it.

To that extent, Kylers Diablick was also a person who cared about the reputation around him, so there was no need to reveal his identity. Also, for a serious battle, it was better to hide your identity.

And the demons guarding the entrance didn’t seem to care about my mask at all.

‘but. Not one or two people hide their identities in a place like this.’

The more you go inside, the more you feel the heat.

The heat was gradually increasing in intensity.

It seemed too much to see that it was simply the heat emitted by the fighting people and the enthusiastic spectators.

Stadium finally arrived.

Countless battles were already taking place there.

And the moment I saw the stadium, I was able to confirm the cause of the fever.

‘Wow… It’s awful.’

A wall of blue and red flames surrounded the arena.

The wall of flame didn’t disappear until the battle was over, and that meant that they couldn’t escape until the winner was decided.

Of course, it wasn’t anything to be afraid of.
