How To Survive at the Demon Academy

Veigar’s sudden declaration.

The freshman’s reaction was divided into two parts.

“What? Are you suddenly competing with your seniors?”

“No, this isn’t quite right.”

“I’m still being pushed back, so what are you saying?”

The one who looks confused and notices.

“Haha, that sounds like fun, right?”

“I was tired of hanging out with guys in my grade.”

“They’re all opponents who have to be defeated later anyway.”

And the side that enjoys and rejoices in the situation.

In terms of proportion, there were more of them.

And I am also close to the latter.

‘Nothing changes. In the end, I just need to do well.’

Fighting with stronger opponents, seniors, and professors on a regular basis is the rule of law.

Stop thinking it’s the same at the sports day.

Seniors did not show any reaction.

It’s rather strange if you’re embarrassed because you’ve experienced it in the past.

‘Anyway, the situation is interesting.’

The fact that they can encounter each other even if they enter different magic circles.

Now, it is a story that only the opponents who enter together are not competitors.

“Then let’s start the challenge again.”

At Veigar’s words, the students entered the magic circle all at once.

Erina, who had been watching him, approached.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Hmm… .”

“I plan to move separately from now on.”

“That’s not bad either.”

I kind of expected it.

It’s because we’ve been moving together until now, but because of me, she had little to do.

Rather, if you want to experience a variety of things, Erina will benefit from falling away from me.

“Jetti, what are you going to do?”

“Well… I want to go alone too. I want to see to what extent I can do it myself.”

“i get it.”

There was a chance that they could meet even if they entered another magic circle anyway, so even if they moved separately, there was a possibility that they could be together later.

“Then, good job everyone.”

“I see. Good job on that too.”

“Kyler, see you later.”

Erina and Jetty moved through the magic circle.

Soon, most of the students disappeared.

“I must go too.”

The moment I was about to step onto the magic circle.

“Please wait a moment!”

A familiar voice came.

“Well?”

A small figure running from afar.

It was Lane who pressed the robe deeply.

“Hehehe.”

Reign arrived in front of me and was out of breath.

It seemed that there was some urgent business.

“Why are you making such a fuss?”

“after… It is finally complete.”

“Complete? Oh, you mean the sword?”

“That’s right. here… .”

Lane carefully held out the cloth-wrapped sword.

“Let’s check.”

“I get it.”

When the cloth is removed, the appearance of the sword comes into view.

‘This… .’

There was no significant difference in shape or length from the beginning.

However, a magic circle faintly engraved on the sword body and a small jewel shining under the handle stood out.

“It feels like something has changed like a work of art.”

The sword before Lane touched it was extremely ordinary.

A sword that can be found anywhere without any special decorations or energy.

However, the current sword definitely gave off a different atmosphere than before.

The feeling of hiding the extraordinary in the ordinary.

“As I was making it, there were several parts I didn’t like, so I tried everything. Of course, it doesn’t seem like you like glamor that stands out, so I refrained as much as possible.”

“Good job.”

I raised my sword and swung it lightly.

‘It’s good.’

Light yet heavy feel.

I mean, it’s very well-balanced.

In the past Hunter days, I used a lot of top-notch artifacts, but I never felt like they were sticking to my hand like now.

“I hope that the name of the sword will be chosen by Kylers.”

“I mean?”

“yes.”

I slowly looked at the sword.

A sword that I will continue to use from now on, unless there is something special going on.

It’s a growth type sword, so you can continue to grow with me.

‘What would be good? Well?’

There was a name that immediately came to mind.

Influenced by the quiet atmosphere around me, I came up with the name of the sword, Baro.

“Silence.”

Silence, silence, stillness.

A sword with the intention of making everyone who stands in front of me quiet.

The more I thought about it, the more it felt fitting.

“Silence… Sounds good. No, that’s fine.”

Lane was also nodding her head as if she liked it.

“I got the materials yesterday, but I had a hard time completing it so quickly.”

“I already had almost the framework, and it was just a matter of materials.”

“Even so, your hard work will not disappear.”

“Thank you for noticing.”

“I will do my best not to be ashamed of your name as the maker of the sword.”

At my words, Lane’s voice trembled slightly.

“thank… do. I will continue to do my best to help Kyler.”

Rain shows more passion, perhaps because of the fact that he has been acknowledged.

“Ah, I have to explain the sword’s performance and changes… .”

“No, I will try to find out by using it myself.”

If you enter a magic dungeon anyway, there are plenty of opportunities to use it.

Because it was difficult to spend too much time here.

Besides, if Sebastian was there, it wasn’t difficult to figure out the sword.

“All right. If you have any questions, please let me know later.”

“I get it. You’ve worked hard, let’s get some rest.

“Suffer.”

Lane lowered her head and stepped back.

After waving to Lane, I headed to the magic dungeon.

* * *

Whoops.

The space moved through the magic circle.

This was also the first time I saw this place.

‘What… For me, most of them are places I’ve never seen before.’

It was only natural that he had absolutely no experience of going to other places.

[This dungeon is the Desert of Silence. The goal is to clear up countless monsters in the desert and restore the lake of life that is drying up.]

It was a combination of two missions: defeating monsters and achieving goals.

‘It must be a bit annoying this time too.’

Dealing with monsters is not difficult,

But to restore the lake?

Even in this desert?

It was a goal that did not seem easy just hearing about it.

‘First, let’s check Silence’s performance.’

Maybe because I came in a little late, I didn’t see other students around me.

However, various monsters are taking place nearby.

Test subjects seemed good enough.

‘Before that, I’ll have to check first.’

I asked Sebastian to analyze Silence.

and after a while

＜Analysis of the sword is complete. I’ll explain it now.＞

Sebastian began to organize his analysis.

＜At first, the sword had two main characteristics. It’s drain magic and growth type. Among them, the efficiency of drain magic has increased tremendously.＞

‘okay? Specifically how?’

＜Silence was originally an artifact of Arkenia, not Pandemonium. Of course, it was bound to have a stronger response to magic than magic.＞

Sebastian explained that if 100% of the ability to absorb and release mana was possible, the efficiency of absorbing and releasing mana was at most 60 to 70.

＜However, Lane has re-modified it into a demonic-centered design, and now it can absorb demonia and mana equally. And it seems that it has become possible to emit with an output of up to 2 times.＞

‘Twice… .’

Absorbs an opponent’s attack and returns it twice as much.

It could be a variable enough, and it could become a hidden card.

＜In addition, it is possible to increase the strength of the sword itself by absorbing the master’s demonic energy. In addition to strength and cutting power, it is possible to form a sword.＞

This is also a very satisfactory result.

Just as I strengthened my body through Magi, Silence was able to do that as well.

‘It seems fine. What else?’

＜Actually, this is the most important change. Looks like Lane did something really crazy.＞

What on earth could Sebastian be saying?

The answer to that came elsewhere.

-Hehe, what is that?

?

A voice coming from somewhere.

It was definitely Zeon’s voice.

“Zeon, where are you now?”

-I’m here.

Looking around, Xeon was nowhere to be seen.

I don’t remember coming in together, but what happened?

-here! it’s down below

When I look down, the sight catches my eye.

It was a Silence that lifted itself up and flew around.

“What is this… .”

＜Rain made the sword so that Xeon could permeate it.＞

“that is… Is it possible?”

＜It can only be described as a skill close to that of a dwarf.＞

“Huh… .”

I was so excited that I laughed at the flying sword.

‘Has it become like the Ego Sword?’

＜They can be said to be similar. It’s like becoming a sword with will in the state of Zeon.＞

It’s not just a sword with a will.

It was a sword with tremendous power value that could even use the magic of Xeon.

＜In addition, you can use the elemental power of Xeon, so you can launch various types of attacks.＞

“Awesome.”

Do all dwarves have this skill?

He said that he hadn’t obtained the title of artisan yet, but I think he would have become a craftsman right away if he hadn’t come to the Pandemonium.

-I was hiding to surprise Kyler.

“okay. That is a bit surprising.”

-Hehe.

“Is there anything else other than that?”

＜If the sword is damaged, it also has the ability to restore itself by absorbing magic or mana.＞

I would have planted self-healing.

The more I thought about it, the better it was.

“Then I’ll have to check the performance.”

Coincidentally, there were a lot of very good practice partners around.

coo uh oh!

The monsters that were roaming around began to move.

Monsters slowly approaching.

It was an army of sand armed with various equipment, starting with a sand soldier with a sword.

Wow!

And the best part is the sand giant who appears behind him.

Even compared to the Nectune I met before, he boasted of a huge body with no significant difference.

Fire.

Silence’s blade that absorbed my demonic energy began to burn like a flame.

big!

Waves of rushing sand.

I swung my sword lightly.

squeak.

It was a single sword.

An attack that doesn’t contain much magic.

However, the attack split the monsters in front in half.

Wow!

The sparks formed on the cracked part caused an explosion, causing secondary damage.

“Hmm… It’s okay.”

devastated the surroundings.

‘Certainly I’m better with a sword.’

Even during his Hunter days, it was only natural that he mainly fought with swords.

Next, it’s time to test your sword skills.

Whoops.

A red sword appeared on Silence’s blade, which had absorbed the demonic energy of the Diabloc Force.

I grabbed my sword and dug into the center of the monster.

Kwaaang!

The sound of an explosion heard when cutting with a sword.

Not only did the sharpness become stronger, but a shock wave was generated the moment it touched.

A situation where he cut down over dozens of monsters in an instant.

It was much more effective than wrapping demons around the body.

‘Actually, it’s because the combat has been a bit inefficient in the meantime.’

Concentrating the magic only on the sword would have made it much better to use the magic.

Wow.

A sand giant approaching from afar.

Diablick Requiem seemed to be needed to deal with the huge body.

– I’ll try.

“You mean?”

-yes! Allow me.

“good night. Play as much as you like.”

There is no chance that Zeon will be defeated by that giant anyway.

Now is the time to conduct various experiments, so I decided to leave it to Xeon.

Fuck!

The Xeon-infused Silence flew through the air.

Whoops!

A sword that pierces the sand giant’s throat.

However, it was a very small wound compared to the huge body.

‘I don’t think it will have much effect on large monsters.’

But what happened next showed me that I was wrong.

-You look thirsty, so I’ll give you some water.

Countless drops of water floated around Silence floating in the air.

The water droplets merged into one and nestled in Silence, completing a huge spear of water.

– Now, drink a lot.

Wow!

It seems that Lane has created something amazing.
