How To Survive at the Demon Academy

Chapter 24

“I was worried for nothing.”

Diablic Requiem not only destroyed the alter egos in front without a trace, but also dealt a serious blow to the main body.

I couldn’t find the same momentum as before in the slime, which had more than half of its body blown away.

“Ba, what kind of magic is that just now?”

Hercules’ voice trembled as he approached urgently.

It’s hidden by the hood, so you can’t tell the expression, but it’s probably a very surprised expression.

“It’s ambiguous to call it magic.”

“You mean it’s not magic?”

“that… .”

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but it’s ambiguous to give a definite answer.

Because I didn’t know much about Diablic Requiem either.

“If I had to put it that way, I guess you could say it was a skill I learned from my father.”

“Ah, the skills I learned from Diablo-sama… I guess so. That much should be enough to explain this power.”

Hercules nodded as if he understood.

And I see Jetty making a fuss next to me.

“Wow! Also Kyler. I was counting on you.”

“It was not a difficult opponent at all for me.”

Actually, I struggled a little.

With the help of Herculus, I realized an unexpected skill and was able to handle it easily.

It was clearly not an easy opponent.

But the words that come out of his mouth are self-congratulations.

“It was so trivial that it made me yawn.”

“I think I struggled a bit with that… ?”

“It is an illusion.”

“right! Hercules was mistaken.”

“Well… I guess so.”

I slowly approached the slime that was wriggling in the distance.

Kieheh-

The savagery from earlier had disappeared, and the slime let out a weak sound.

There was no trace of his sharp teeth, and only one irritating eye remained.

Even if you leave it as it is, it seems certain that you will die sooner or later.

‘No, in this case, should it just disappear?’

The monsters appearing in this dungeon right now clearly have substance.

However, if you ask if it is a real living being, it is ambiguous to give a definite answer.

In the first place, it was said that beings that could not exist in this demon realm were embodied with magic, so it is close to fake.

From my point of view, who doesn’t know much about magic, I just thought it was like that, but from Herculus’ point of view, it didn’t seem like it.

“It’s a strange place the more you look at it.”

“What do you mean?”

“I also know about dungeons created by combining barrier magic and various elements. It’s a little bit, but I’ve done some research. However, with my limited knowledge, it is difficult to understand the current situation.”

“Hmm… .”

“I didn’t summon a being from another dimension. If so, did you use avatars or familiars? No, overlapping magic circles… .”

Hercules was again lost in his own world and began to mutter.

There was no need to break my thoughts, so I decided to pay attention to the finish of the slime.

keue eh… .

As I approached, the slime freaked out and backed away.

No, I was going to leave.

However, his body, already severely damaged, had already lost control and only wriggled slightly.

“It is your bad luck that the opponent was me.”

The moment the fist with demonic energy flew towards the slime’s remaining eye.

Fire.

Suddenly, the slime’s body started to burn.

“Well?”

The slime’s body engulfed in green flames swelled rapidly.

“This!”

I have experienced the consequences of that phenomenon.

There are also monsters that self-destruct when they are in danger, inflicting serious damage on their opponents.

That slime seemed to be a similar case.

“It’s dangerous, everyone… .”

Wow!

However, the slime self-destructed faster than I expected, and a huge aftermath came over me.

The moment when he crouched down while quickly using the demonic barrier in an unexpected explosion.

“Dangerous!”

A small figure blocking my way caught my eye.

It was Jetty.

“Foolish judgment!”

I think I threw myself out of fear of danger, but I can withstand enough with the demonic barrier.

Even if that wasn’t the case, how much could the giant explosion be blocked by that little guy blocking it?

I tried to throw my body to catch the jetty, but the explosion hit me a little faster.

and that moment.

Wow!

A dazzling light emanated from Jetty’s body and wrapped around Jetty and me.

The sky-blue light formed a translucent film and began to absorb the impact of the explosion.

The shield lasted until the end of the explosion and then slowly disappeared.

“Is this Jetty’s power?”

It was probably right because it was a phenomenon caused by the light emitted from Jetty’s body.

It was a slime that burned itself and struggled until the end, but it met its end by being blocked by the power of the same slime, even a small jetty for a long time.

With the explosion, the slime disappeared without a trace, leaving only Jetty on the floor.

“Are you okay?”

I hurriedly approached Jetty, who was crouching on the floor.

“Well?”

There was no answer, so I was worried that something might be wrong.

softly-

Seeing Jetty sleeping with even breathing sounds, fortunately, no major problems seemed to arise.

“Are you both okay?”

Hercules, who had fallen behind, approached.

“It seems fine. Me and Jetty too.”

I smiled at Jetty who was sleeping on the palm of my hand.

This little guy threw himself at that dangerous moment without hesitation.

If you don’t sincerely consider me a friend and value me, you can’t do anything.

‘I’ll have to be better with Jetty from now on.’

He was the first friend he made in the Demon Realm, but it was also true that he didn’t completely open his heart.

In a situation where I fell into a world I didn’t know at all, I couldn’t afford it, and it was hard to blindly trust others.

But Jetty proved himself.

So he deserved to be treated accordingly.

“Is this over?”

Squeak.

A magic circle that appears as if it was waiting for my words.

It was probably a magic circle going out.

“Let’s leave at once.”

“i get it.”

Just in case, the first thing to do was to get Jetty treated quickly.

We climbed onto the magic circle.

Wow!

A bright light engulfed us.

* * *

The place I arrived after the light disappeared was the training ground where I was at the beginning.

Cedric was waiting for us there.

“Everybody did a good job. It was the first dungeon you ever experienced, but you showed better results than expected.”

“thank you.”

Cedric looked at me and nodded.

“Actually, I didn’t know that you guys would completely clear the dungeon. It is still in a state of experimentation in various ways, but it is also true that it is not easy for students to handle. Originally, I planned to step in and bring you out in the middle.”

Are you saying you pushed students into such a place?

It’s like a madman.

‘Well, this place is originally like this.’

devildom. And considering the place called Demonic, Cedric’s reaction was a very natural one.

“But you guys easily broke my expectations. It will be fun to watch in the future.”

It’s not that I’m interested in teaching more, and I just don’t give up my expectations to just watch.

“We will live up to your expectations.”

“Me too.”

“It’s a good attitude. and… .”

Cedric’s gaze turned to my palm.

There was Jetty, who was still asleep.

“Did you say Jetty? Can I take a look?”

“of course.”

I carefully handed over the Jetty.

“Hmm… .”

‘It’s a bit surprising that that man knows Jetty’s name.’

It was Cedric who didn’t seem interested in the students.

You may know a few people who stand out from me, but Jetty is obviously on the side of the side that gets away from attention, but you know the name.

‘Is a professor still a professor?’

I should be surprised just to know the names of the students in the class the professor is in charge of.

Once again, I feel how much I had no expectations for this demonic academy.

“Um, that’s good.”

After looking at the Jetty for a while, Cedric handed it over to me again.

“It is simply exhaustion. He exhausted his strength to the limit and fell asleep, so he will wake up soon.”

“Is that so?”

I’m glad it wasn’t a big deal.

“I will remember the skills you showed in the dungeon today.”

It’s obviously acknowledged, but why is it somehow insecure?

does something go through this? Then next time, I’ll prepare something tougher.

Those words sounded the same.

‘Ah, no way to that extent… no Is it possible.’

With this crazy academy and crazy faculty, it’s possible.

I had no intention of avoiding it.

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

Herculus greeted Cedric and then approached me.

“It was a pleasure to be with you today. I was able to learn a lot.”

“Neither do I.”

“I hope we can be together next time.”

“if there is a chance.”

As Herculus left, Cedric approached me and asked.

“How did it feel to experience another dimension directly?”

“It was amazing.”

It was amazing.

However, the novelty was not the novelty of the world he had seen for the first time, but the novelty of experiencing the earth again, which he thought he would not be able to see here.

Of course, Cedric, who couldn’t know that fact, responded naturally.

“I guess so. I don’t know much about the world called Earth, but there are many things I want to study.”

“But how were you able to create a dungeon with the landscapes and beings of Earth? It was not the usual perfection.”

“Hmm… I don’t know exactly either. The president, Veigar, and a few helpers made the magic dungeon, and it’s still being improved. My guess is that it might send a lot of exploration to another dimension.”

“What do you mean by exploration?”

“It could be a Familiar, or it could be going directly by using magic related to dimension shifting. Or it could be to activate detection magic beyond space.”

It’s hard to understand what you mean.

However, what is certain is that a high-ranking person higher than Cedric was involved.

‘It must be difficult to figure out something right away.’

In the current situation, I think we should prioritize just becoming stronger.

If you have the power to respond in any situation, you will be able to move more freely.

“Ah, you must be studying the earth goods I gave you before, right?”

“yes. We will return it soon.”

The Hunter Launcher borrowed from Cedric disappeared as it fused with Sebastian. But there was no need to worry, as Sebastian was able to create an identical replica.

Originally, he tried to ask the craftsman of the castle, but Sebastian, who absorbed the function of the launcher, was able to create the same alter ego.

‘Anyway, the functions inside the launcher are important, the shell is meaningless.’

It’s Cedric. You’d never notice if it looked the same.

“i get it. I have something to do, so I’m going to go.”

“You have worked hard.”

“What is suffering?”

Cedric waved his hand and left.

After he left, the large gymnasium fell silent.

“Then I’ll have to go back too.”

There was nothing more to do here, so the moment I was about to go back to the dorm.

“Oh, but what should I do with this guy?”

Looking at Jetty, who was still asleep, I was troubled.

Cedric said he would wake up soon, so there was no need to worry, but I couldn’t leave it here.
