267 – Demons (1)
Theo headed to the study room with Seria.
The look on Isabella’s face when she left was not good. She was completely white. Should I say she was sick of it?
‘It seems quite difficult to endure.’
I don’t know what pain will come that day. Because he is a man.
It would have been bad manners to offer meaningless words of comfort…
Theo and Seria arrived at the study room.
Kkiik─
As soon as we opened the door and entered, the orcs and children stood up and shouted.
“They said it would come quickly, it would come quickly! “Suddenly the woman who was helping us disappeared, so it was very difficult!”
“Sniff, sniff, sniff… By the way, what is this smell? “Theo smells different.”
“I think it’s the smell of a human woman. Hmm… I think it smells like powder?”
“This is not the smell of the woman who helped us!”
“Theo, this evil guy made us study hard, and then he met a woman!”
Orcs’ sense of smell is several times better than that of humans.
Each race on the Cairenzena continent has unusually developed senses. For example, orcs have an excellent sense of smell, elves have an excellent sense of hearing, and humans have an excellent sense of taste.
Theo thought and said, ‘There is no such thing as Gaeko.’
“I just came here after receiving a collaboration offer. Before I go, I told you to write down anything you don’t know and ask questions. Noktar, ask yourself first.”
There was no answer if he was caught up in the orcs’ bullying, so Theo smoothly changed the topic.
And the foolish orcs were immediately caught up in Theo’s strategy.
Noktar answered, pointing to a place in his major’s books with his thick finger.
“I’m not sure about this. They say prisoners must be treated humanely… What are the standards? Isn’t it okay to just not kill him? “Meals and water are provided only before death occurs.”
“That’s right, Noktar…”
So Theo began teaching Noctar and his children again.

Next week, Monday.
The first day of final exams at Ellinia Academy has dawned.
Although the test start and end times were different for each department, the fact that both written and practical tests were included was the same.
4:30 PM.
The first day of final exams for the Department of Engineering has ended.
Students came out of the classroom and sighed.
“Do you think I saw it well?”
“Can’t you see my face?”
“······Hmm. Okay. “Let’s quickly find a seat at the library.”
“Ha, why is there a written exam from the first day? “The flow is not good.”
“Why are we suddenly going against the grain?”
“I don’t know what. I’m a practical person. It is said that if you start with the practical exam on the first day, you will have good energy and have a higher chance of doing well on the written exam. “I saw it in a science magazine.”
“What the hell. You’re a scientist. “Don’t talk nonsense and let’s go to the library.”
Most students headed to the library.
On the other hand, Irene walked straight to her dormitory.
‘The letter… Has arrived, right?’
Last week, a letter arrived from her home. The story was that she was looking for someone who could interpret the scrawled text.
As soon as Irene arrived at the dormitory, she rummaged through her mailbox.
‘There is!’
In her mailbox, there was a sealed letter addressed to her.
‘······It shouldn’t be a big deal.’
Irene grabbed her letter with her trembling hands and entered her room.
“Whew.”
Why am I so anxious?
She took a deep breath, unsealed her letter, and read it.

The anxiety became reality.
“What is this…”
To summarize the contents of the letter, it was as follows.
─It is not 100% certain because it is sparsely empty, but from a macroscopic perspective, it is highly likely that the letter in question is a summoning formula for a low-level demon that has been lost in modern times.
Irene’s hand holding the letter was trembling.
Irene stumbled and muttered.
“Ah, ahahahaha… No way. No way. Probably not. It’s written right here too. “I can’t be 100% sure because it’s sparsely empty.”
But she knows better than anyone else that she cannot accept reality and that she is deceiving herself.
Her family, the Aslan family, has long done many acts of cooperation to help the weak without expecting anything in return. Therefore, there are many people who have a relationship of benevolence that goes beyond simple interests such as interest.
This letter, which I am holding in my hand right now, is no different from the opinion of someone who went all the way to the family’s elder council to find it.
When such an expert used the expression ‘high probability’, he probably meant that it was at least 90% or higher.
“Ah, ahahahahaha…”
I felt dizzy.
Even though I don’t want to admit it or think about it, it keeps coming to mind.
─The only thing left to me is you. Help me.
Theo’s kind words and actions so far have been,
Did he do it?
Was she the devil who possessed him?
“Ah, uh, uhuhuh…”
It’s crowded.
It’s the worst.
It feels like the blood flowing through my veins is rapidly rotting.
What should I do next?
I just don’t know.
What kind of expression should I make when I encounter him?
He pretends nothing is wrong, pretends not to know anything. Should I just hold on like usual?
Should I cry and scream, asking why I lied to myself all this time?
It’s confusing and confusing.
My fingers automatically go to my mouth.
In order to hold a sword, my fingernails have always been cut short since childhood.
But now I can’t think of anything.
Just, just, just, just.
Make a sound and bite your short nails.
Red blood flowed from between the nail and the gap between the flesh.
However, he didn’t care and kept biting it repeatedly.
“······It won’t be, it won’t be, it won’t be, it won’t be······.”
Irene cried and laughed until dawn, then fainted.

It’s Friday.
Final exams for all departments at Ellinia Academy have ended. That means the second semester is all over.
The students of the Department of Warrior came out of the classroom.
There were some students who shouted with gloomy faces, ‘I failed the exam, what should I do?’, But they were a minority.
Most students were happy just to be free from the academic work that had weighed them down throughout the second semester.
“Woohoo~ Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! “Let’s have fun eating meat today!”
“Would you like to go to a new place near the Department of Exploration? “The reviews there were good.”
“Anywhere is fine. “Let’s get out of here quickly!”
“Lee Silder, let’s go play a game of soccer! I made an appointment with the guys from the knight department. “You just have to come physically.”
“Ah, that’s annoying. “I decided to have a meal with Ade.”
“Ah~ No matter how much you like a woman, that’s true. You fell for it last time, last time too. Please help us today. I have to take revenge. “Without you, the offensive line was in trouble.”
“Eng… Yes, sissypal. Today, my brother is giving me a Carry treat. “What time is it?”
Theo was walking with Eisha.
Theo spoke to Eisha, who was smiling brightly.
“I guess you did well on the test.”
“Well, the writing is easy~ How was Theo?”
“I think I answered all questions correctly. Essay writing is at the grading professor’s discretion, so I’m not sure.”
“Wow~ I’m out of luck. You can look forward to it this time. “Because I will avenge the humiliation of the midterm exam.”
The midterm exam score was 1st for Theo and 2nd for Aisha.
Isha pouted her mouth.
I had a guess that Theo would come in first place, but in reality, my pride was hurt a lot.
Well, it doesn’t matter now. I’m thinking of saying goodbye to studying for a while.
Above all, isn’t today the day I decided to go on a date with Theo? Just the two of us. Goodbye to the women who followed Theo from now on.
The date spot is Polaris, which is far away!
At that time, Theo took out a communication crystal ball from his pocket.
Burr, burr──
A vibrating crystal ball for communication.
Looking at that scene, Eisha’s eyes moved up and down. Her anxiety took over.
“Who, who are you?”
“You have to receive it to find out. “Please wait a moment.”
Theo left.
“······.”
Isha looked at his receding back with glazed eyes.
* * *
‘Who is it?’
I arrived at a quiet place behind the classroom and received a call.
─This is Theo Lin Walderk.
─······.
There was no voice coming from beyond the crystal sphere.
After waiting for a while, I spoke again.
─This is Theo Lin Walderk. Current communication status is not good…
─It’s me, Theo.
It was Irene.
─It’s been a long time. I used to contact him every day, but since he hasn’t contacted me since this week, I thought about preparing hard for the exam. Did you do well on the test?
─······No.
Irene was uncharacteristically frustrated. Normally, I would have continued what she said steadily. It was also strange that his voice sounded as if he had lost his temper.
─What’s going on?
─······Yes.
Irene followed her words.
─······Look at us.
A weak voice that suddenly breaks.
At this point, any fool would know that something is not unusual.
I answered quickly.
─Where are you now? Go straight there.
* * *
Theo said to Eisha.
“Eisha, something urgent has come up and I have to go to the Knights’ Department. “I’m sorry, but let’s eat first.”
And then it disappeared in a flash.
“······Uh.”
Eisha, left alone again, muttered.
“No, I have to tell you where we can meet again.”
