How To Survive at the Demon Academy

Whoops.

The opponent who revealed his face in the transparent screen was an old man.

The first thing I thought of when I saw him.

young.

The word young, which is the most inappropriate expression for the elderly.

However, it strangely suited the old man on the screen.

Clean skin and white hair without a single blemish, but hair full of luster.

Above all, the old man on the screen felt the vitality that can only be felt in young people.

A look that is hard to see in a being who is old and has lived through many experiences.

[Well? This is Kyler’s familiar.]

The other person seemed to immediately notice that Sebastian had contacted them.

I had already heard from Sebastian about some opponents I could encounter before connecting.

And the old man in front of him was one of them.

It was Martius, who was in charge of the butler of the Devil Castle.

‘I was worried about what would happen if I connected with my father, Diablo. I’m glad.’

It was a bit of a burden for me to have a conversation with a blood relative, a great being called the Great Demon King, in a situation where it was still difficult to say that I had completely melted into Kyler Diablick.

I spoke to Martius on the screen.

“Mr. Martius. Long time no see.”

[Oh, are you Kylers?]

“That’s right.”

[Haha, it seems like you are contacting me for the first time since entering Demonic. How are you?]

“I am adjusting well.”

[I thought that if it was Kyler, of course. By the way, how did you contact me? Diablo-sama said that there would be no contact unless it was a special occasion.]

After hearing the story, I think I know why there has been no exchange with Mawangseong.

In the first place, it was because they had decided not to inform about trivial matters or the current situation.

However, the story I will tell you today is very special and urgent.

I immediately started to tell the main story.

“I have contacted you with urgent news. It’s not different… .”

The things I experienced in Delune’s dungeon flowed out of my mouth, and Martius’ expression changed moment by moment as he listened to the story.

After a while.

[Is everything you just said true?]

“It is the truth without any lies. The leader of Frozen, Harold-sama, also said that he would be in touch with Trevius-sama, so I think the story will somehow get through.”

[All right. As this is not an ordinary matter, I will deliver it to Diablo as soon as possible.]

“All right.”

[Do you have anything else to say?]

I thought about it for a while, but couldn’t think of anything in particular to say.

To begin with, Kylers Diablick was an only child, so he had no one else to ask for his regards.

If there is, the regards of my father, Diablo, and my mother.

‘Come to think of it, it’s a bit strange.’

In the meantime, I confirmed through the diary and Sebastian, but Kyler Diablick had a mother.

However, little was written about his mother, and Sebastian also replied that he did not know the details.

I wasn’t paying attention because I was concentrating on adapting and living day by day in Demonic, but the more I thought about it, the more I questioned it.

“How is your father?”

[Haha, Diablo-sama is always doing well. Don’t be lazy to polish yourself.]

“Mother… .”

I don’t know exactly, so I implied the question.

However, the response was greater than expected.

[now… Did you mean Kayla?]

Martius puts on an unexpected expression.

Seeing that, I wondered if I had made a mistake.

‘Did I mention it for nothing?’

It seems that I was too hasty in a situation where I shouldn’t do anything that would raise suspicion.

However.

[Kayla has not changed. I am using various methods, but there is no improvement in the disease.]

“ah… .”

When I heard the story, it seemed that my mother was suffering from an illness.

‘I think Kyler’s name came from his mother’s name.’

I could feel how much my father, Diablo, loved my mother.

[Don’t worry too much. We will find a way to make it complete.]

“Please.”

[And the same goes for Astaroth and Delune. You don’t have to worry about Kyler, so just focus on living in Demonic.]

“All right.”

I had no intention of caring about it anyway.

In the first place, it was related to the Great Demon King in the past.

Because the scale was too big for me to relate to now.

In the past, the five Great Demon Kings and his corps were the beings that they dealt with together, but it was obvious what they would face if they went out for nothing.

[Then Mr. Kylers. We will cheer you on to achieve great results in Demonic. Please contact me later.]

“I’ll do my best. Say hello to your father too.”

[Haha, I will definitely tell you. Enough then.]

Soon, Martius disappeared from the screen, the lights went out, and communication was cut off.

“after… .”

＜Well done.＞

“Have you made any major mistakes?”

＜There was no big awkward part in my view.＞

Listening to Sebastian’s words, it seemed that I finished better than I thought.

“I’m glad.”

Now is the time to focus on life in Demonic again.

The same goes for water lilies.

My goal is to have the power to solve my own problems in any situation.

For that, I have to run again from tomorrow.

The day ended and a new day began.

* * *

Demonic’s daily life is mostly similar.

combat and training.

It’s an academy, but it’s a strange space where education doesn’t take place at all.

But for me, who had already adapted enough to adapt, there was no problem.

At least none of the students bothered me.

No, there was, but now it could be said that it is gone.

It was because, after Serenia, the existence that had been sharpening me, was defeated, I was in a situation where I had completely lowered my tail.

“Hmm… .”

I slowly looked around.

Members who train nearby.

The composition of the members has not changed much.

Jetty, Albion, Erina.

There were times when Serenia hovered around and bothered her, but she was nowhere to be seen today.

And there was one new addition.

– Kylers. I’m bored.

It was Xeon.

It allowed them to roam freely, but only for a short while.

“why? Anything interesting?”

-yes. play with me.

In the end, the only things Xeon could comfortably hang out with were me and the friends around me.

In the end, I had no choice but to be around me.

“Hmm… .”

Although he was not neglecting training every day, there was a limit to the abilities he could gain through training anyway, and it was more like just practicing as a habit.

Just in time, he had fulfilled his quota for the day, so it seemed okay to hang out with Xeon a little more.

In order to sign a contract with Xeon, it was necessary to get closer.

“Then let’s go around with me.”

Demonic was wider than I imagined, and there were quite a few places I hadn’t been to yet.

While I was giving Xeon a tour of various places, I thought it would be nice to learn geography as well.

-great!

The other party was concentrating on training, so I took Xeon and left.

“Where shall we go first?”

In the meantime, most of the places I went to were places and facilities related to training.

However, such a place was not very good for attracting Xeon’s interest.

Excluding the training facility, as I was also planning to visit a new place.

Then the destination becomes simple.

A place I haven’t been to and that Xeon would love.

And just like that, there was a place like that.

“Zeon. Follow me.”

– Where are you going?

“You will know when you go.”

-okay.

The place I arrived with Xeon like that.

Fire.

paper weave.

wheein.

Whoops.

A space where fire, lightning, wind, and water mix and spread in all directions.

It was Demonic’s power plant.

– Wow.

Zeon’s eyes widened as he looked at the sparkling surroundings.

The sight of energy emanating from all sides was beautiful and surprising to me.

It would have come more mysteriously to Xeon.

-Can I come and see you?

“Of course. don’t touch anything

-okay.

It is said that he was born of fear, but Zeon was also a spirit.

The energy that spreads out from this power plant will be good for Xeon, the spirit, in many ways.

The hidden Xeon flew far away, and I quietly exclaimed in admiration as I looked around.

‘It’s definitely amazing.’

It takes a lot of energy to maintain this huge academy called Demonic.

As many people stayed, the amount was vast, and there were power plants like this all over the Demonic.

A power plant that creates energy using demonic energy and elemental power.

That energy has been used in a variety of ways.

Training facilities, cafeterias, smithies, and even defensive barriers around and inside Demonics.

In the case of the central power plant, which is the core, students had limited access, but the auxiliary power plants, which were divided into several places, could come and go relatively freely.

‘It seems to have a different principle from science and technology, but it seems to have a similar effect.’

Of course, from my point of view, which has little related knowledge, I couldn’t know exactly what I saw.

I was looking around like that.

“Well?”

Some suspicious movement caught my eye.

‘What is that?’

A black robe that hovers near a magic circle that emits energy.

It was hidden by the robe, so I couldn’t tell the gender or race, but the body that was revealed above the robe was very small.

No, it wasn’t simply a small level.

Judging from the pillar next to it, that suspicious robe seemed to be less than half my height.

‘Is it a little child?’

However, to judge based on height alone, this demon world is a world where various races live.

Maybe it was someone older than me.

‘But what are you doing?’

At first, I thought it might be a manager or employee of Demonic, which manages the power plant.

However, his behavior was too suspicious to be seen as such.

From checking the surroundings to marking something here and there.

decisively.

‘That’s definitely strange.’

It was definitely strange to see the structure and shape of the magic circle recorded intact next to the magic circle.

A normal employee would know everything about the magic circle, so there would be no reason to record it.

However, it seemed that someone without authority was diligently copying the information.

Like.

‘It feels like an industrial spy.’

There may be no concept of industrial espionage in this world of demons, but it certainly didn’t seem like they were doing it with good intentions.

‘I can’t just leave it alone.’

If there is an administrator, I can inform them, but there is no one around except me.

For now, it seemed better to check.

I instantly closed the distance with the black robe.

“What are you doing?”

“Hee!”

The black robe was startled by my sudden appearance, and at that moment the robe that covered the face came off.

“Well?”

Read at readwn. com

Upon seeing what was revealed, I widened my eyes in amazement.

It was obviously someone I didn’t know.

But the race I knew was right.

“All, who are you?”

The small body of a child.

A muscular body unsuitable for its size.

A cute round face.

A race that is very common in games and novels.

It was a dwarf.

“Are you a dwarf?”

“How?”

The dwarf opened his eyes wide in surprise at my words.

I didn’t have a beard, so I thought about it, but looking at that reaction, it seems like a dwarf for sure.

‘It’s surprising that there were dwarves in this demon realm.’

Since it was a demon realm inhabited by various races, it would not be strange.

However, it was a fairly rare case because I had never seen a dwarf in a demonic until now.

“I asked what you are doing now.”

“that… .”

The dwarf looked at me and looked around at the same time.

“Did you come alone?”

“Yes.”

Xeon is there, but he left to look around.

And the dwarf, who confirmed that I was alone, changed his attitude.

“I won’t let you go if you get in the way of my work.”

The dwarf took out a large hammer and pointed it at me.

look at this

I guess I’ll have to put my soul into it and start.
