114. Seeds of Evil
Academies are known to be all equal on the surface, but in reality they are not.
Even though they claimed equality on the outside, there were innumerable inequalities inside.
Is it not possible to treat dukes and barons, nobles and commoners equally?
Even the teachers took part in the discrimination, and a person who was about the daughter of a duke could have a great influence on the academy.
‘Are you asking for this?’
Stella frowned, remembering Ian’s request. It was a request to the Iritz family rather than a request to himself.
There, again, he kept his mouth shut about the reason behind his request.
The secret is that only you will know.
Doubting how long she would be able to keep the secret, Stella went to see a teacher she knew.
And the next day.
“Sir, what is this?”
“It’s a psychological book.”
The Academy conducted a psychological survey of all students. Literally, literally, a survey conducted by all students.
The title of the survey was as follows. It was to investigate the mentality of the cadets who were slack after the vacation was over.
Was it in the title and in reality? It was to find out if there were children who were dyed in the dark.
Children who were marginalized like Dinoir, or cadets who were dissatisfied with something. It takes time to investigate whether such children exist, so it was made to report voluntarily.
‘Of course, this alone is not enough… .’
In addition to this, Ian devised several ways to know the children who could be on the side of the demons inside the academy.
It is the result obtained by the method prepared in that way. Seeing this, Ian grabbed my face in dismay.
‘No, what is this… .’
According to what he researched, there were about 30 cadets who could have already passed over to the Asmodians, and the number of cadets who could have passed over was about twice that number.
In other words, it was as if the academy had already been occupied by demons.
‘Why didn’t I know until now?’
The name of the academy doesn’t go anywhere. If the cadets were openly connected with the demons, they would have been able to figure it out right away and know their number.
So, it meant that the cadets identified now were like cockroaches who had been in contact with demons very secretly.
‘How do you get all of this?’
Ian, who had a headache at the thought of arresting and isolating more than a dozen cadets, took the list to the principal.
The headmaster of the academy shed tears when he saw the list that Ian had handed him.
“… no, no matter what It wouldn’t be that many.”
“That is the minimum. Considering that there will be children who have cleverly hid their identities, there may be more.”
“Hmm, hmm- yes. Okay. I’ll deal with it somehow.”
Fortunately, Catherine was a fairly capable person, and as usual was a very capricious principal. So, it meant that it would not be unusual for a class like group prayer to be suddenly offered to all students.
Some of the cadets who had the unexpected prayer at first expressed their dissatisfaction, while others were happy to be able to miss class.
And very few were strangely anxious. The principal summoned the personnel separately and confronted the priest.
“—Be purified. Brother.”
If demons sprout from human evil, God is the one who thrives on human good will. God is like light, and He has enough light to drive away demons.
The demons planted in the hearts of the cadets were washed away as if they were washing their eyes, and the repentant cadets shed tears and confessed what they had done.
“it’s okay. You are still young and repentant. There is always a chance to go back.”
The priest skillfully comforted the cadets and at the same time induced the culprit that made them follow the demons.
The common name that came out of their mouths was someone Ian had also heard of several times.

Caroline also spent time sitting in front of the mirror today to make her trademark roll hair.
If you don’t tie it properly, it’s bound to come loose quickly, and it was very difficult for her to match the number and length of curls on both sides of her hair.
After doing the difficult task skillfully, I finished my makeup and put on my school uniform.
“Um- I’m beautiful today too!”
She looked in the mirror and uttered positive words, but in reality her insides were rotten and rotten. Because if I didn’t show off, I couldn’t survive. It was also about sticking with this characteristic hairstyle.
If she was careless, even for a moment, a gloomy gloom that made her wonder how she was alive overtook her.
The forced laughter immediately broke, and a melancholy feeling similar to that of the end of the world overtook her.
‘I want to die.’
Beautiful looks, a great body, and a good family.
There were things that other people wanted to have but did not have, but conversely, these elements that other people wanted to have suppressed her.
beautiful looks? If you are a noble, you won’t be treated like it’s normal.
great body? It’s the same with looks. On the contrary, there were times when they were insulted for being too vulgar.
good stanza? Yes, this made her the most depressed. Even though she was born into a not-so-bad family, there are too many young girls adorning her.
The fact is that the family leaves even their own successes to her and sits on the sidelines.
drove her to despair.
Caroline looked in the mirror and patted my neck.
A very thin neck.
‘If I cut my throat like this, wouldn’t it be easy to die?’
I carefully strangled my neck. After a while, breathing forcibly stops, leaving a bright red handprint on the nape of her neck.
And, of course, you cannot commit suicide by strangling yourself. The limit was to let go of the hand and clench long before breathing stopped.
‘I wish they were all dead.’
Such darkness was planted in her, and at the same time, she had the talent to hide it from others.
She didn’t know, but it was the devil’s seed. A very contagious, vicious creature that hatches with just a little shock.
“Woohoo- Let’s work hard today!”
Caroline smiled evilly. Even if she despaired beyond the make-up, Caroline always had to smile.
Because that was the duty of a nobleman. At least until today.
“Caroline.”
“yes? you are… .”
In front of her dormitory, a man with a very familiar face was waiting. He was so famous that it was strange that he didn’t know.
Ian Clark.
Like His Majesty the first emperor, he is a multiple summoner, and isn’t he the only cadet who has a four-star summons and the title of marquis?
He was also a person who had nothing to do with her.
“What does the Marquis have to do with the girl?”
“Wait a minute, can you spare some time?”
“… Time?”
“date.”
“Hey, are you on a date?”
But at this moment, Caroline felt her interest in Ian begin to spring up.

Once the devil’s seed is planted in the human heart, it cannot be removed either physically or magically.
You have to restrain yourself only with your own strength, and there is no way that a person with a broken heart can show such willpower to sow seeds.
As a result, it is quicker to simply kill the seed planted.
‘You can’t do that in a game of all ages.’
In the game, it ends with a simple description line.
became a demon Or, remain human.
Ian dissuaded the teachers who said she should kill her and came to see her in person. It was very simple. If your heart is broken and you are unable to live on your own, wouldn’t it be enough to fix your heart?
“Hmmm, what are you talking about all of a sudden… .”
Caroline said so and expressed her refusal. However, inside, it flushed with joy.
It is natural. There were many beauties that could be compared to her by Ian’s side, and among them was Stella, whom she had a rival.
If you leave them alone and ask yourself out on a date, I feel like my value as a woman is going up.
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“Ugh, really. I’m really sorry… .”
“okay? It’s unfortunate.”
Saying so, Ian signaled to Pink whom he had summoned before coming here. Her ability to manipulate brain chemistry was activated, and Caroline felt love for the man in front of her.
“I wanted to get to know you a little bit.”
“Ah-.”
After letting out a monotonous moan, Caroline began to wriggle her fingers. She was wiggling so hard that the fingerprints on her fingertips could be erased.
“It would not be polite to decline both of the two or two offers. Yes, I like it. Where shall we go?”
Ian saw her attitude and realized that Pink’s abilities were working. It was a fake affection created by ability, but it doesn’t matter.
The human body is so stupid that when you feel fake love or something similar, you believe it’s real.
The swinging bridge effect did not exist for nothing.
“There is a place I know.”
Saying so, he leads her to a special cafe. A place prepared only for today, a place she would not have known, even though she had been wandering around the inside of the academy all day.
As it was a store prepared for work, there were no customers in the store except for the priest and the store owner who were dressed as staff.
Ian took her into the room as if he was very familiar with it.
Quiet atmosphere – even a small room where two people can talk.
Caroline felt like she had seen this scene in a dream. Yes, by the time Ian was around, it was safe to say that he was a person comparable to a prince. Then, finally, the prince on a white horse came to him as well.
She showed the girlishness and femininity that she could play as much as possible. It was an instinctive act, and it was so natural that Ian did not notice.
“So, how is the Marquis interested in a girl?”
“I just want you to stand out as usual.”
“Did you? Perhaps this is a coincidence, I have always been very interested in the Marquis.”
What a coincidence—Ian muttered to himself and looked at her. I even managed to get a seat. He even succeeded in shaking emotions.
So, now it’s your turn to listen.
‘Sylphy, are you ready?’
[Lord, Master. Is it really okay to do this?]
‘I am responsible.’
The timid Sylphy was slightly reluctant to use her powers on humans, but in the end, she could not refuse Ian’s orders and used her powers against Caroline.

Moments later, Caroline’s eyes began to spin as if hypnotized.
