How To Survive at the Demon Academy
Chapter 63
‘Was it too much?’
Although it was said to control power, Diablic Requiem was originally a one-hit kill technique.
I wondered if I was too immersed in the battle and overreacted.
But.
‘Five?’
The disappearance of the dust cloud created by the explosion was a bit unexpected.
“That… .”
The blood-red shield surrounding Radius came into view.
Although the surrounding area was devastated, it seemed that the defense was superior to what Radius had expected, given that Radius had not suffered much damage.
However, Radius’ condition did not look so good.
His already pale complexion had grown even paler, and there was not a single trace of blood on his face.
‘No, wait a minute… Does it look like real blood?’
A closer look at it made it clear.
It wasn’t just that Magi’s color was red, it was really blood.
A shield made of blood.
That was what protected Radius.
“… Cool.”
Radius kneels while spurting blood.
At the same time, the surrounding defenses disappeared.
It’s to the point where I’m worried that the fact that my face is completely white is something wrong.
“there… Are you okay?”
“Huh, huh. Whoops.”
Radius raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Blood was leaking from between his hands.
Did I do something wrong? As much as I think.
It was definitely a fair fight.
I also did the challenge over there first.
But when I look at it, I start to feel guilty.
“Blood, blood… I need.”
Radius spat out a single word with difficulty.
Certainly, looking at that condition, it looked like he needed blood.
‘Do I have to do a blood transfusion?’
I don’t know if this demon world has such a concept, but it seemed dangerous if left alone.
But fortunately, I did not have a blood transfusion.
“hurry… You must drink quickly.”
Radius takes something out of his arms.
clear glass bottle.
It was filled with red liquid.
Clink.
Radius was in such a hurry that instead of opening the lid, he blew it off and hurriedly gulped down the liquid.
gulp- gulp-
Radius eagerly drinks the liquid as if meeting an oasis in the desert.
Seeing it made me want to drink it too.
“Whoa… .”
After drinking all the liquid in the glass bottle, Radius let out a deep sigh.
Beyond paleness, the skin, which had no vitality at all, was slightly revitalized.
Radius’ gaze turned to me.
“you… You are strong.”
Words I heard even before the confrontation.
However, the feelings contained in it were different from the first.
If at first it felt like I had met a worthy opponent, now it felt like admitting defeat and admiring it.
“I was lucky.”
“No, you can’t beat me simply by luck. You are the second student to beat me in Demonic.”
Second among students.
Except for me, I’ve only lost once.
Considering his strength, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
‘It seems like I know who the other one is even if I don’t listen.’
Probably the student council president, Lucifer.
A strong man who has been told several times that Esca is strong.
It would have been easy for Lucifer like that to defeat Radius.
“I didn’t think there would be anyone who surpassed me among my juniors… I was conceited.”
Radius’ face was devastated.
When I saw it, I was a little stung by my conscience.
The reason I was able to win easily was because of the great influence of my skills.
Especially Demon Fear.
If it wasn’t for the fraudulent skill that lowered the stats of opponents weaker than me, it would have taken a little longer to win.
But that wasn’t an unfair fight.
‘Because this is also my ability.’
I didn’t get help from others, and I brought out the best results within my ability.
In this world of demons, strength is everything.
In a situation where there are still a lot of strong people that I can’t fathom, clumsy thinking was a luxury.
“It was really great.”
Radius looks at me with bright eyes.
Considering the attitude he had shown in the meantime, it was a burdensome interest.
‘Was he originally a person with such a big reaction?’
I changed the topic to break the awkward atmosphere.
“By the way, what did you eat earlier? Is it like a potion?”
“Well? Ah, that is pure virgin blood.”
“okay. Virgin’s blood… Yes?”
“They said it was the blood of a virgin.”
“uh… .”
I looked at Radius for a second, wondering if I had heard it wrong.
A calm expression asking if there is any problem.
I don’t think I heard anything wrong.
If so, the story that he really drank the blood of a virgin.
Are you crazy? Or a pervert?
What is certain is that it is not normal.
‘He looked fine, but he was more serious than I thought.’
The world of demons itself is not normal, so even if you have such a peculiar hobby, you can’t say anything.
But that was my mistake.
“We, the vampire clan, are in trouble if we don’t drink blood regularly. Especially when fighting a big battle or using a unique skill, it consumes a lot of blood.”
“Are you a vampire?”
“okay. Didn’t you know that?”
After hearing the story, everything started to make sense.
A pale face that was severely bloodless.
Drinking blood to recover health and wounds.
All of them were characteristics of vampires that were covered in games or novels.
‘I almost had a misunderstanding.’
But that doesn’t mean all questions have been answered.
First of all, how can a vampire walk around unscathed in broad daylight?
The information I knew about vampires was general information that they hated light and that exposure to the sun would burn their skin and cause damage or death.
‘Is it okay as long as I’m not exposed to sunlight?’
But I had to shake my head.
When they first entered the forest, the sun did not shine because it was hidden by the trees, but now that the forest was swept away by Diablic Requiem, the sunlight was still coming through.
I’ve made many assumptions, but in the end, the most certain thing is to check with yourself.
“I… Are you okay with exposure to sunlight?”
“Well? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Radius, with an expression that doesn’t understand why.
Apparently, the vampires here were different.
And there was someone nearby who could solve my curiosity.
<Vampires in the Pandemonium are not affected by sunlight. The information you know is about low-class vampires or slaves who are subordinated to them.>
Hearing Sebastian’s words made it clear.
The vampire monsters I encountered while living as a hunter and the vampires in the underworld are completely different beings.
The next thing I was curious about was Radius’ fighting style.
Vampires are usually portrayed as excellent wizards.
A being that demonstrates strong power with intelligence and physical abilities that are far superior to humans.
However, Radius did not use magic at all in the battle with me.
Because I only fought with my sword.
‘The barrier that blocked Diablick’s Requiem was like magic, though.’
Other than that, I didn’t use anything that looked magical.
“Is the technique you used to block my attack magic?”
“Ah, that is a unique skill each vampire clan has. It is to use one’s own blood and utilize it in various forms. If you ask me if it’s magic… It’s similar, but you could say it’s different.”
First off, it’s definitely not magic.
Like my skill or Xeon’s power, it seemed to be a different type of power.
Last thing I was wondering about.
“You said earlier that it was the blood of a virgin… Did you really get it from someone?”
Radius tilted his head at my words.
“So you’re saying you can get blood from someone and make it?”
That’s not wrong.
Apparently, he didn’t understand my question properly, so I decided to ask directly.
“I’m asking if it was obtained by harming others.”
Actually, even if it is, I can’t say anything from my point of view.
It didn’t make sense to apply the concept of human days in this world of demons.
But it was an important factor in deciding whether I should stay away from him or stay close to him.
“What else do I say? Forcibly obtaining blood from others is the most taboo among the vampire clan. If such a case arises, we will punish it according to the law of the clan. This is what I got for a fair price.”
Seeing that he even put on a slightly displeased expression, I think it was a very rude question.
“sorry. I have offended you out of curiosity.”
“not. Things like that happen, too. Aren’t you the strong one who defeated me? If you have any questions or requests, you are always welcome to ask.”
At first, it was difficult to even hear his voice, but after winning the match, he seemed to talk a lot.
Maybe this is what it looks like.
‘Am I the type to loosen my guard only with those I acknowledge?’
Anyway, it’s not a bad thing that Radius has good feelings for me.
If you forge bonds with strong people, there will be many things that will help you later on.
‘It’ll be fine against sparring.’
Although defeated by me, his swordsmanship skills are not inferior to mine.
It seemed that sparring would be beneficial in many ways.
“Well? Is everyone doing something?”
After returning from contacting Demonic, Michael tilted his head as he saw the changed atmosphere.
“it’s nothing. Did your trip go well?”
“okay. It took a while to bring in the personnel.”
About 10 people appeared behind Michael.
“Now, you guys just have to go back to Demonic with me. Don’t worry, they’ll take care of the aftermath.”
“All right.”
We climbed onto the prepared magic circle.

Ugh-
Returned to Demonic with Light.
* * *
The first thing I noticed after arriving at Demonic was the number of students.
Most of them were struggling thanks to the hard work, and traces of battle were visible here and there.
‘There are more than I thought?’
Each student’s task is different in difficulty, so it will take a different amount of time, but I didn’t think Herculus and I took that long.
However, the number of students around now is more than half of the number gathered at the beginning.
But upon closer inspection, I could see why.
‘Right. A lot of guys gave up in the middle.’
Looking around, there were quite a few students who looked relatively normal.
And they were all gathered together in one place.
It was in front of a sign that said failure.
‘Since I gave up without even trying properly, I guess I have no choice but to be clean.’
In contrast, the personnel on the sign that said Success were bruised and tired.
Judging from the fact that some students suffered serious-looking injuries, it seems that they all received difficult assignments.
But everyone’s face was filled with relief and joy.
It was the satisfaction that comes from achieving a goal.
“Now, you just have to go to the place where it says passed and wait.”
At Michael’s words, Herculus and I moved on.
“Thanks to that, I was able to pass easily.”
Hercules to thank me.
“what are you talking about. I couldn’t have done it without the help of your magic circle. There is no need to be thankful for the success you and I created together.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Among the students gathered on the success side, most of their friends were also included.
‘Albion is over there, and Serenia is there too.’
I expected both to pass, so no wonder.
‘Well? There’s also Jetty.’
His face and wings were slightly scorched, but he was talking to someone with an excited face.
‘Erina… Is it yet?’
No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find Erina.
It may be that you are given a task that is more difficult than you think and it is taking time.
‘With that guy’s skills, he’ll succeed in the end.’
Looking at the situation, it seemed that I was given an impossible difficulty level, and basically gave me a task that I could handle.
But.
‘what?’
A familiar figure caught my eye as I looked around.
Brilliant white hair with a hint of silver.
It was Erina.
‘No, why is he over there?’
Erina was standing in front of the failure sign.
