Episode 20
Took.
Took.
The demons around them began to fall one by one.
The girl passed out, unable to overcome the killing spree.
In that momentum, I was also not fine.
‘I’m about to pass out… … .’
There was no time to worry about the surrounding demons or Lene.
All he could do was stand with both hands holding his legs.
Swallowing a moan inwardly, he was convinced that the current situation was part of Saitan’s entrance exam.
It is to sort out the chaff by shooting out a lethal force that one cannot overcome if the mental power is weak.
However, it was doubtful whether there would be any demons who would maintain their sanity even after receiving this momentum.
In fact, after about 10 minutes, the applicants standing now were counted on one hand.
Even if I collapsed like this, there would be no problem in passing, but it would be impossible to catch the eyes of the instructors.
‘… … What number should I use?’
for that short period of time.
I pondered and pondered.
Most of his mental strength had already been exhausted, and he would lose his mind if he allowed himself to be a little vigilant.
But the answer never came.
And again, the girl’s voice rang in my ears.
“As expected, you’ve been holding up for quite a while here, right? Shall we turn the intensity up a bit?”
more here?
Gradually, I started to lose my mind.
It wasn’t like a metaphor.
I couldn’t stand the girl’s life and my vision was blurring.
Just before collapsing, a faint possibility passed through my head.
‘… … Wait, what if it’s the same life?’
Living was unstoppable because there was no form.
But what if we live the same life?
It is the same logic as counter-fire.
If I filled my surroundings with life, I didn’t know if I could let other life die.
not sure.
If I failed, I couldn’t stand it any longer, but it was worth trying.
Suk.
I squeezed all my strength and managed to stand up.
And using mana response, he circulated mana in his body.
Before I knew it, my heartbeat became stronger and my mana began to activate.
“after… … .”
I took one deep breath and looked at the pink-haired girl.
next moment,
After that, he released the irritable killing spirit to the surroundings.
Saaa.
Dozens of blades of murder began to drive away the girl’s spirit.
Soon after, the killing spree I spilled completely destroyed the girl’s energy.
feeling more free.
I smiled contentedly and glared at the girl.
“… … .”
The girl was staring at me with a dissatisfied expression.
I wish I was a bit overdone.
Well, nothing special.
The situation just now was only part of the entrance exam.
It must be clear that the girl was speaking from her own mouth.
So there won’t be any misfortune where a girl attacks me.
‘How are things going? … .’
I looked around with a relaxed body.
As expected, Lene seemed to have passed the test.
Rene staggered, but did not collapse like the other volunteers.
And other decent characters… … .
six people.
It was the number except me and Lene.
So, if only these people passed the test, that would not be the case.
What can we do with only six enrolled?
From what I’ve written, the number of Saitan cadets is in the hundreds.
Presumably, it was clear that it was a form of passing the test with a certain amount of time.
The characters who have been holding their seats so far are probably… … .
‘They are the descendants of the Seven Deadly Sins. Without them, it would have been difficult to stay sane at this pace.’
sure
Six volunteers glaring at the girl.
Some of them I didn’t know, but some looked familiar.
These are the people who will later be counted among the strongest in the demon realm.
First, a girl with her back straight as if she was relaxed.
And a boy who burns fighting spirit with interest and vigor.
There were other children who vaguely remembered them, but the two characters I set up with affection stood out.
However, the end of those children also belongs to the bad side.
It was the fate of being brutally murdered by the human side of the main characters.
however… … .
Why did a person I never imagined would be in Saitan come into my field of vision?
‘Why is that woman in Saitan?’
An alarm bell rang in my head at the appearance of an unexpected person.
Swipe.
I rubbed my eyes again and looked at the girl.
She is letting go of her energy as if nothing is wrong.
Gray hair, red eyes, and a dark crown resting decisively on his head.
I knew her
It was a person I couldn’t recognize, so all I could do was blink my eyes.
‘It’s the demon king.’
Diana, the demon king who will later become the worst villain in the demon world.
Among the Seven Deadly Sins, he took charge of the family of anger, and was also the family from which the demon king was born.
Such a woman existed as a mere supporter of Saitan.
* * *
Some time has passed since then.
“Am I dropping out? Nonsense!”
“What kind of test is this!”
“Don’t touch me! Do you know what my father is doing?”
Right after the first test.
Saitan’s auditorium became a real mayhem.
Applicants who did not acknowledge the results of the test were making a fuss.
However, Saitan’s instructors just silently kicked them out of the auditorium despite the threats of the dropouts.
bang-!
When all the dropouts were driven outside, the instructors closed the auditorium door.
At first glance, I looked out the door and saw that a train had been prepared to send the dropouts out of Saitan.
After all, it seems ruthless… … .
‘Am I passing?’
It was a natural thought as I watched the dropouts get kicked out.
Since I wasn’t kicked out like them, it must mean that I passed.
Even in the face of a girl’s death, he endured until the end, so it would be strange if he failed.
‘I wondered where I’d seen it, and it was the principal of Saitan.’
The identity of the woman who radiated life to us was Rujian, the principal of Saitan.
Lujian is one of the representative strongmen of the Demon Realm.
That’s why he was able to subdue the outstanding applicants only with his momentum.
Suk.
I took my gaze away from Luzian and looked around.
From nob le mt l dot com
Not even half of the applicants who had filled the auditorium were left.
As expected, it seemed that if I endured for a while, it would pass.
From here, more people will be filtered out through the second test.
I got a bit lucky this time, but it’s not strange when I fall, so I’ll have to be careful.
‘Rather than that, it looks pretty noisy around Rene.’
As I was about to approach Rene, I halted my steps.
Renee’s surroundings were full of gossiping applicants.
From nob le mt l dot com
Not only her, but the other descendants of the Seven Deadly Sins as well.
All of them kept their spirits until the end of the principal’s life.
Applicants were expressing feelings of envy, jealousy, longing or envy towards them.
But why is no one looking at me like that?
Like them, I was standing all the way, but they didn’t pay much attention to me.
Many of them glanced at me and turned their gaze back to the children of the Seven Deadly Sins.
It is said that among them, I was the only one who struggled to stand.
‘I don’t know how easy it is to endure that… … .’
I pursed my lips and trudged toward Renee.
Lene smiled faintly when she saw me, wondering if the reactions around her were uncomfortable.
“You passed too.”
“Yes, I passed safely.”
After exchanging simple questions and answers with Renee, I looked around.
‘Still, it seems to have succeeded in leaving an impression on the applicants and the children of the Seven Deadly Sins.’
It was impossible to overwhelmingly pass the mental strength test from the beginning, and I had no intention of doing so.
I just wanted to ‘imprint’ it.
That my existence is different from other ordinary applicants.
And the plan worked wonderfully.
‘The children of the Seven Deadly Sins are looking sideways at me.’
There were no people who openly expressed interest, but I show a little interest.
There was also Diana’s gaze.
… … I knew her identity, so it was a little uncomfortable, but I decided to pass it on.
I wonder why she is here at this point, but I can’t help it.
I had no choice but to know because the setting for the Demon Realm was not properly planned.
In such a chaotic atmosphere that continues.
“Now, focus.”
The instructor who walked out of the stands stood on the podium and said.
At the instructor’s voice, the applicants stopped talking and stared at the instructor.
Roughly grown purple hair and a huge tattoo on the neck.
It was an appearance reminiscent of a gangster.
‘I don’t think I’ll be surprised if there’s a gray knife in my inside pocket… … I’ll have to be careful.’
I listened to the instructor’s explanation with fear in my heart.
“Congratulations. With this you have passed the test of mental strength. It’s practically the same as being a cadet of Saitan.”
“If you passed the 1st exam, most of the 2nd exam passed, so I’ll just call you cadets.”
Some volunteers couldn’t hide their joy at the instructor’s words that it was as if they had become Saitan’s cadets.
The instructor waited for the atmosphere to subside before continuing.
“The mental test was literally a mental test. It was a test to determine if he could remain sane when he was tortured by humans or suffered a terrible fate in the future.”
Some children sighed after hearing the instructor’s explanation.
It must have been difficult to understand the strange test of enduring life.
However, the question was resolved by the instructor’s explanation, and what remained was about the eight people, including me, who had endured until the end.
“The eight of you who held out until the end will have an extra point. If you show good grades in the second test, you will be allowed to enter the Armory.”
Only then did the cadets, who hadn’t given me a glance, sent a stinging glance.
‘How dare someone like you get extra points?’ I felt very uncomfortable because of the same gaze.
From nob le mt l dot com
Naturally, I couldn’t bring the story out… … .
‘Rather than that, it’s an arsenal.’
Since it is the largest academy in the demon realm, there must be quite good weapons.
‘I don’t know if it’s renting or giving it, but it’s not bad either way.’
While I was throbbing, the instructor explained himself.
“First, let me introduce myself. I am Ares, the instructor who will be teaching you new students.”
Pair-.
A few cadets clapped their hands a little.
“I will explain the second exam, so please be quiet for a while.”
Ares stopped it by raising his hand.
After a moment of silence, Ares continued to speak slowly.
“The second test is a test that shows your abilities. It’s to show the instructors what kind of talents and weapons they have to deal with ‘humans’. Please note that the class or class you will be assigned to may change accordingly.”
To translate Ares’ words, it meant showing how to fight.
For example, cadets who use swords will take swordsmanship lessons, and those who use magic will take magic lessons.
In this respect, there seemed to be no significant difference from the Imperial Academy.
But it took a while to deal with humans.
Since it was a demon, it was natural for humans to be enemies, but it was important what kind of humans they were dealing with.
And my doubts were soon resolved.
“This is the human you have to deal with, and this is the subject of the 2nd test.”
widely.
As Ares snapped his fingers, the mass of mana began to materialize.
Mana, who gradually transformed into a human form, took the form of a ‘human knight’.
white armor.
A pattern drawn after the white tiger on the armor and a sharp blade like a tiger’s claw.
As soon as I saw that human, I froze.
Why is that human… … .
From nob le mt l dot com
No, it might come out.
Isn’t that too absurd?
It was surprising that the demon king participated as a volunteer, but it did not compare to the appearance of that human.
“Do you know who it is?”
Seeing that I was breaking out in a cold sweat, Rene looked up and asked if she was worried.
I couldn’t easily answer that question.
‘Of course not.’
However, it was not important to know or not know.
It was important that the person who appeared in front of me was a person who appeared well in the original work.
It is also a person who is very close to the main character who will destroy the demon world.
Being close doesn’t mean simple intimacy.
It is determined at the moment of birth, blood ties.
That person is none other than… … .
‘He’s the main character’s father.’
He is the head of one of the six families and is called the strongest of the six heroes.
Cell to Nina.
Dealing with him was Saitan’s second test.
