26 – Demons
The red sunset light was coming in through the window.
The red sunset light coming through the window illuminated a woman’s hair.
Her red hair was dyed more red from the red sunset.
“Haa… ….”
A girl who sighs deeply.
It was Atalanta, the owner of Arsene Academy.
“What the hell did you do? Derian teacher.”
“I’m not sure what you mean.”
“Are you really saying that because you don’t know?”
“… ….”
After all the matches on the first day of Mars Arena, I came to the president’s office after being called by the president.
Upon entering the rector’s office, Atalanta was sighing and spitting out incomprehensible words.
‘I don’t think I remember doing anything in particular?’
Although the president asked what he had done. Nothing came to mind.
I had no idea what she was asking.
That’s what the president said to me.
“What the hell did you teach the students?”
instant noodle scks tho
A student in the class of a failing student won the Mars Arena.
Of course you can win. There is no law saying that just because you are a failing student, you lose.
The problem is that the students in the lower class have beaten the students in the upper class.
After the establishment of Arsene Academy. Today is something that has never happened before. It happened
The homeroom teacher of the failed student class now is Derian.
Atalante was convinced that Deruan was the cause of this incident.
So he called him to find out what he had taught the students.
I wanted to know what the hell was teaching that made the students so strong in that short amount of time.
“I just did a little bit of simple training.”
“Training?”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Derian, I don’t like people who lie.”
In an instant, the air sinks heavily.
It’s just that her feelings have changed, and the air around her is fluctuating.
As expected of her, she changed the environment around her only with the change of her emotions.
I was out of breath. But she couldn’t even imagine what would happen if she didn’t answer now.
I struggled to open my mouth.
“I don’t know what the President is suspecting. I swear to Mana, I just gave the students simple training.”
If she said this without mentioning the oath to Mana, Atalanta was going to fire Der An right away.
However, Atalanta did not dare to doubt Der An, who testified even while she swore to Mana.
‘Nonsense. Can failing students become so strong through training alone?’
I couldn’t believe it.
However, as a sorceress, she cannot say that she does not believe in the opponent who has even sworn her mana.
She decided to trust Derian.
“After…… I can’t help but believe that Derian-sensei said that.”
“Thank you for trusting us. President.”
“No. You must have been surprised by my sudden call, but on the contrary, I am sorry.”
“No.”
“Well, I’m sorry to send you back like this, so I’ll tell you some good news.”
“Is that the good news?”
Good news for me. What are you trying to say? Are you looking for a pay raise? Or are you trying to give me something else?
As I waited for her next words with high expectations, I couldn’t help but be surprised by her words.
“I decided to make sure the students weren’t expelled.”
“Yes?”
The president announced that all students’ expulsion has been cancelled, regardless of the content of the bet.
“Your student beat the upperclassmen. Not only that, but in today’s match, all of your students won one.”
I didn’t expect the sniffer to beat the upperclassmen. As Atalante said, the students all won one match today.
“The students proved it. That they deserve to be here.”
“Sure. Are you saying you won’t expel students even if they don’t make the top five?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Arsene is an academy where everything is proven by skill. There, my students showed their skills. They have proven themselves worthy to remain at Arsene.
‘They will like it when they hear it.’
They are students who have been on edge because of the recent expulsion issue.
It was clear that everyone would be happy to hear this news.
As Atalanta said, it was good news.
“Mr. Derian.”
“Yes. President.”
“Do you remember the bet we made?”
“Of course. At least one of my students must finish in the top 5 of the Mars Arena. If I couldn’t get in, all of them would be expelled and I would be fired.”
“Right. But it’s gone after that.”
“Are you talking about that later?”
“You said that if Derian-sensei won the bet, the Eternity Storage would give you something.”
It was as she said. However, now that the expulsion of students has been canceled, the bet has lost its meaning.
‘No way.’
“Are you going to give me a reward?”
“Right! If even one of your students makes it into the Five of Glory, I will open the eternal storehouse.”
“You don’t have to go this far, do you?”
There was no need for her to wager the eternal storage and reward. Atalanta opened her mouth first and suggested me that she could do it without a bet.
“Arsene likes talented students. If there are students who show sufficient skill, there should be a corresponding reward.”
Although her words were Atalanta to do this. She didn’t have very high expectations. It was because she was a difficult position to occupy.
That’s why I was able to offer such a reward without hesitation.
It didn’t matter even if I was miraculously included in the 5 members of the Glory.
In terms of being among the 5 people of glory, they were well qualified.
“Thank you.”
“What? It’s all because the students are good at it. You really can go now.”
●●●
I let out a sigh of relief after leaving the building where the president’s office was located.
“I’m glad. Now I don’t have to worry about expulsion.”
Atalanta When she first called me, she was worried about what she was going to say, and nothing but good news.
She was promised that if all of the students’ expulsions were cancelled, she would be given the goods of the Eternity Store if she really did get a place in the honorable five.
“President. You made a mistake.”
Atalanta was able to claim that she hadn’t bet. But she didn’t.
‘They still think they’re kids.’
But my students have grown beyond my expectations. The students will show growth enough to shatter Atalante’s expectations.
“I’ll let our kids, who are in 5th place, take it all up.”
Of course, I didn’t think that all 5 of us would take 1st to 5th place. It was just that he was confident.
“Shall we go back to the dormitory soon?”
It was a year that began to decline when I had a conversation with Atalanta.
I tried to go back to the dormitory and take a break while looking at the darkening sky.
I was going to.
‘What is it?’
As I was walking towards the dormitory, I felt a strange gaze. It feels like someone is hiding and watching me.
But something bothered me.
Actually, I felt this strange gaze from the moment I left the president’s office.
At first, I thought my senses were distorted by the president’s momentum and ignored it, but I was able to know that my senses were not wrong with the continued disparate gaze.
Someone must have been watching me from somewhere.
‘But where the heck are you looking?’
From the moment I became convinced that there was an eye on me, I tried to find the target by scattering my magic, but nothing caught me.
Is it because of the mood?
No, it can’t be because of my mood.
“Reveal who you are.”
From noble mtl dot com
In the end, I decided to trust my intuition and shouted to summon the guy who was watching me.
But no response came back even when I called.
“Was it an illusion?”
●●●
As the darkness moves alive in a dark alley where people are rare, the shadow moves and creates a human figure.
“He must have a better sense than I thought.”
Helmud never thought that a human could see through his stealth.
The demon himself was hiding in the dark and watching.
“I have to go back and report… ….”
Today, Helmud, who had gathered enough information about the human according to his master’s order, was about to return to his master and give a report.
But my body didn’t move. It’s like being crushed by something.
“Oops. Reporting is important. Information is valuable.”
Helmud, who hadn’t felt a single sign of presence until he entered the alley, was startled and shouted in the direction of the voice.
“Who, who are you!”
“Hmm. Would you understand if I said you were the owner of the academy?”
“Ah, Atalanta?!”
“Right. I am Atalante Arsene, president of Arsene. But why is there a lump of filth like you in my academy?”
A dark alley.
Atalante Arsene appeared and bound the body of an unknown demon.
