next day.
I walked to the academy just like yesterday.
You can use the magic circle to go directly to the academy, but students are not allowed to do so.
The reason is that.
“Aww! die!”
“You arrogant bastard, I’ll step on you!”
“You dodged like a rat!”
“I am originally a rat!”
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
It was because of a fight on the way to the academy.
-Demonics, no, battles are routine in this world of demons. It is only natural that those who avoid and fear battles will be weeded out. So don’t ever think about moving comfortably.
That’s what Veigar, the president, said.
boring, boring
They fight on the way to school and also fight at the academy.
‘It’s fortunate that there is no fight at the inn?’
not.
Come to think of it, it seems like there was a fight.
Because there was an explosion and noise coming from here and there.
Maybe it went relatively quietly because there were no guys attacking me.
However.
“Ha ha ha! Where can I see your skills?”
At least not as much as on the way to school now.
“It’s annoying.”
Fuck!
He slashed the Stone Warrior’s jaw, whose entire body was made of stone.
Kieeck!
“dirty.”
Kicked a flame hydra that spit fire.
I don’t know if I’m strong or if they’re weak, but one hit was enough to take them down.
“Well… .”
Various kinds of beings were entangled around them.
It wasn’t long after I came to this world of demons, but I realized that there are many similarities between the monsters that appeared on the earth where I lived and the beings here.
They were often similar in appearance, which made them easy to classify.
Of course, the overall strength of these monsters was much stronger.
In addition, the number of talking intelligent monsters was far greater.
‘On Earth, I was talking about the level of a dungeon boss.’
In the case of demons with horns, they are beings that have rarely been seen on Earth.
Monsters classified as demons were very rare, but the demons I met on Earth felt lacking in something.
“I am the ruler of that frigid land… .”
“You have a long tongue.”
“Keek!”
He slammed the ice golem on the ground and continued to move forward.
If I think about my abilities and skills right now, I don’t think there are many people who can threaten me at least in the current situation.
It is also possible to avoid troublesome battles and break through at once.
But why not.
‘Does this increase my stats?’
Most of them were trash mobs that fell out in one shot, but the battle with them was affecting my ability.
Even on Earth, hunting monsters in dungeons and gates raised their stats.
But now I’m not killing opponents.
Even if I simply knocked him down and made him unable to fight, his stats were rising.
Of course, the increase was very small.
‘Well… Strength increased by 2 and Agility by 1.’
Just like on Earth, it seemed that my stats increased according to the stats I used in battle.
The effect of stats is simple.
Strength allows you to unleash stronger attacks.
Dexterity allows for faster movement and influences attack and evasion.
Endurance is defense.
You can think of it as allowing you to take less damage and survive longer even if you get hit by the same attack.
‘As for Magi… Do you want to be similar to magical power?’
The ability called Magi obtained instead of magical power after coming to the world of demons.
Mana affects the power of the skill and the number of times it is used, but I haven’t been able to accurately grasp the magic yet.
In the first place, since I’m the only one with a status window in this world of demons, I couldn’t ask anyone.
It is also majestic.
No, Magi was predictable to a certain extent, but majesty was more difficult to understand because she had an unprecedented ability.
In any case, there was no reason to avoid combat when you could raise your stats.
They weren’t tough guys to deal with either.
‘But there must be a limit to low-level opponents.’
Even on Earth, there was a limit to the abilities that could be raised through simple nogada.
The higher the stats, the stronger the monsters, or the higher the stats, the more you had to hunt.
I think it might be similar in this demon realm.
‘Well, I guess I can do what I can for now.’
It hasn’t even been a week since I came to the world of Makai.
It may or may not be something to think about impatiently, so it was first to start with simple things one by one.
And the simplest thing in the current situation is.
“Are you blocking my way now?”
“You block the road first… .”
“You talk a lot.”
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
It was a skill nogada.
“It’s good that there are a lot of them.”
I headed for the academy, wiping out the runaway guys one by one.
* * *
“Is Kyler here?”
“Oh, your friend is here.”
When I arrived at the classroom, Jetty and Albion greeted me.
“okay. Did anything happen?”
How many times have you had to see what happened in one day?
It was just a polite question.
However.
“Well… .”
“Kuhm… .”
Looking at Jetty with an awkward smile and Albion scratching his face, it must have been an incident I didn’t know about.
“Why? What happened?”
Jetty, who had been watching her eyes, opened her mouth slowly.
“that is… You said you broke up with Kyler yesterday and the two of us went to see Demonic.”
“It was.”
“We got into a fight while watching.”
“It’s a fight… .”
It’s not strange.
Fighting is commonplace in this insane world of demons.
It’s only been a few days since I came here, but it’s a fact I’m most definitely realizing.
I thought that if I stayed with Albion, there wouldn’t be a fight, but I guess that wasn’t the case.
‘Well, even if it was me, there were not a few guys who attacked me.’
The status of being the son of the Great Demon King.
appropriate skill.
Quite a few opponents were hard enough to withstand even a single attack, but there were those who ran after seeing it.
So in the case of Albion, it would have been more but not less.
There are too many guys who are crazy about fighting.
“How long have you been fighting?”
“uh… In all, we fought six times.”
“Are there any injuries anywhere?”
“Jetti fought without backing down!”
Jetty showed off her sparkling eyes.
6 is not a small number considering Jetty’s situation.
The scene of Jetty fighting was all I saw yesterday, but honestly, rather than fighting, it was all about being unilaterally beaten.
So most of the 6 fights would have been the same picture.
‘If Albion wasn’t with me, I might have suffered quite a bit.’
Albion burst into laughter and said, as if my prediction was correct.
“Euhaha, Jetty, you should be a little stronger. I also helped shake off those clinging guys.”
“right. Jetty also wants to become stronger so that he can win without the help of his friends.”
Jetty, who burns her will by bouncing her small body.
It was fortunate that at least he seemed to have the will.
If you have the will, you can develop to a certain extent.
“But it doesn’t seem like there was just a fight?”
Looking at the faces of the two, it seems clear that something else happened.
“Well… The first 5 fights weren’t too difficult. Because everyone was small and weak. However… .”
“The last one was very strong!”
“okay. The last guy I ran into was really strong.”
It hasn’t been long since I got to know him, but Albion is a pretty strong guy.
Among the beings I encountered in the Demon Realm, I wonder if I could count them on my hands, excluding the professors.
To say that Albion was that strong was not an ordinary opponent.
“If you’re going to say that, it probably wasn’t normal.”
“It wasn’t that big. Because you looked dwarfed than Kyler.”
Anyone would be dwarfed compared to Albion’s gigantic body, but it’s a different story if they’re dwarfed by me.
Right now, my body is on the level of slim, to put it mildly, but if it’s worse than me, it’s a story that I’m really dwarfed.
“And he was wearing a freaky mask!”
“Right, it’s not common, but it’s a pattern I’ve seen somewhere… .”
“mask?”
There’s nothing I can tell just from hearing that.
To be honest, the two of you probably know a lot more about the Pandemonium than I do now.
“How strong is that?”
“I couldn’t last 5 times.”
“Five times… .”
It’s an ambiguous number.
Albion is definitely strong, but compared to me, it’s definitely inferior.
I’ve never competed directly, but I was confident that I could defeat Albion within 5 hits.
However, at least you can predict that the opponent who defeated Albion will be tough.
“Besides, it didn’t look like it was giving it all up.”
“Right, it seemed like a swordsman, but he blew Albion away without using a sword.”
“I thought only the speed was fast, but the power was also beyond my expectations.”
Listening to the story of the two, it was clear that they were not normal opponents.
“But he asked about Kyler.”
“about me?”
“yes. He asked if he had seen us together with Kyler, how we were, and when he found out?”
“So what did you say?”
“I just told you the truth. They’re friends and I got to know them when I entered the academy.”
“So?”
“I just said I knew and left.”
“If I had a bad heart, I or Jetty could have been seriously hurt, but it didn’t seem like that was the intention.”
Certainly, considering the other person’s skills, it wasn’t difficult to harm the two of them, but it seemed that they really approached to find out their relationship with me.
‘Or it could have just been passed on because he knew me in the first place.’
As Sebastian said, there seemed to be quite a few people who wanted to get close to me, and I think the other person had a similar purpose.
‘If there is a purpose, that side will come first.’
Somehow, I had a feeling that we would meet soon.
profit.
At that moment, I heard a disturbing sound that broke my thoughts.
The sound of wheel friction that is difficult to get used to even after hearing it several times.
Cedric, the professor, opened the door and came in.
“Attention everyone.”
low voice.
However, the magical power contained in it instantly took over the tumultuous atmosphere of the classroom.
“I said that you were graded by the fight that happened yesterday. I will tell you the grade now.”
And then, I said something like that.
I was told that it would definitely create a very interesting situation, but it was roughly expected.
Discrimination due to grades and the resulting competition among students.
It’s a little childish, but that’s how effective it is.
‘The beings of the demon realm are not much different from humans in this respect.’
“From now on, depending on your rank, the opponents you will fight with will be limited. And the rule is to fight at least 10 times a week.”
Perhaps it is to prevent high grades from unilaterally harassing low grades.
‘It’s something that’s not demonic.’
In a place where struggle is the basis, there are restrictions on the opponent according to the grade.
The moment she tilts her head at the words that are slightly different from the atmosphere of the demon world she has experienced so far.
“From now on, students are prohibited from fighting with classes similar to themselves.”
?
“Students with a lower level should at least attack opponents who are 2 levels higher than themselves.”
??
“And those who are assigned the highest rank… .”
Is it an illusion that Cedric’s gaze is directed at me?
“I only allow you to challenge your seniors and professors.”
???
Also, this place is weird.
