How To Survive at the Demon Academy

A round object the size of the palm of your hand.

The name of that thing that looks like a watch and in some ways looks like a mobile phone.

‘Isn’t that a hunter launcher?’

It is a basic equipment that all hunters on Earth have, and it is a equipment that helps you understand the hunters’ rankings and monsters’ abilities.

Its performance varied greatly depending on the price, but even the lowest performance launcher was essential for a hunter’s life, so all hunters had to have a hunter launcher.

‘How did he get here… .’

He said it was very difficult to go to Earth.

Under such circumstances, it was difficult to understand that the things of Earth were in this demon realm.

“Isn’t it something that is hard to find in this demon realm?”

‘It’s probably like that in the demon realm.’

At least on Earth, it was so common that it was said to be scattered on the roadside.

“It’s the first thing I see. The material is also a material that cannot be seen in the Pandemonium.”

“It certainly seems so. How did you get this?”

“Well… That’s what you mean.”

After thinking for a while, Cedric slowly opened his mouth.

“I came and picked it up.”

“Yes?”

“To be exact, I picked it up on the way. Few days ago.”

“… … .”

On Earth, you can understand.

Hunters who were clearing dungeons or gates might have spilled it, and there were often cases where broken launchers were thrown away.

But this is not Earth.

‘You said you picked this up in the Demon Realm?’

Since it is impossible to create a Hunter Launcher in the Demon Realm, we must think that that Hunter Launcher came from beyond the dimension.

‘But that Hunter Launcher is oddly familiar.’

Hunter launchers are mostly similar in basic form.

There are many people who do their own unique customization, but they do not deviate from the big picture.

So, it is natural that the eyes are familiar, but the reason I felt familiar was for a different reason.

‘That must be handmade.’

There are two main reasons for the difference in the price of the Hunter Launcher.

This is the case when the magic crystals inside the launcher are of a high grade, and when they are handcrafted products made by an outstanding artifact maker.

And usually famous producers often leave logos to prove themselves on their products.

The launcher in front of me now had a logo I knew engraved on it.

‘no… Wait a minute?’

If you look closely, you can be sure.

That launcher… It was the launcher I was using.

Even the logo can be the same, but the initials engraved under it can never be the same.

After becoming S-class, I commissioned a famous craftsman to make it, and I always carried a launcher with me.

I was equipped with that launcher even in the dungeon I entered before I came to this world of demons.

‘I became possessed, and the launcher just passed over?’

I want to know what the hell this is.

Cedric continued his heated explanation, completely unaware of the complexities in my head.

“I don’t know how to use this at all. I’d like to disassemble it, but it’s hard to do that because it’s difficult if you carelessly touch it and you can’t get it back.”

“Certainly so. Since it is from another dimension, there is no guarantee that you will find it again.”

“right. How do you do this?”

In fact, using the launcher is not that complicated.

The reason the launcher doesn’t work now is probably because the power supply has been cut off.

If it was destroyed, the logo and initials engraved on the launcher should have disappeared, but the fact that both remain intact means that it will work again just by injecting magic power.

“If you don’t mind, can I take a look?”

“Sure. But be careful with it.”

“All right.”

I carefully examined the handed over launcher.

Ungainly looking launcher with cracks here and there.

However, this launcher had a deeper connection with me than anyone else in this demon realm.

‘Are you sure. This is the launcher I used. I think I can use it again just by injecting magic power.’

I unconsciously tried to inject magic power, but hesitated.

‘this… Can I fix it?’

The launcher with built-in auto-repair magic will recover its original form and show its performance as soon as you inject magic power into it.

The problem was that it was difficult to show that figure in front of Cedric.

You may be suspicious, and if it is fixed, the chances of getting this launcher back are even lower.

I’m going to do research, so I’m going to have it myself.

‘Besides, I’m not even sure it responds to my magical power.’

Anyway, now I am Kyler Diablick, not Kang In-hyuk.

A state in which he possesses demonic energy rather than magic power, and possesses the body of a demon, not a human.

In case of loss or theft, the Hunter Launcher is to imprint the magical energy before using it for the first time and respond only to that magical energy.

‘Should I put a little bit of magic on it for now?’

It’s not too late to think of a method after that, as long as I check if it’s reacting to my demonic energy.

I slowly pulled up the demon.

The unique energy emanating from the Evil Heart flowed through her hand into the Hunter Launcher.

Squeak.

‘do!’

It was an extremely small amount of magic, but Launcher began to use that magic to restore his cracked and broken body.

Fortunately, Cedric didn’t seem to notice.

‘great. Just reacting to my demonic energy is a big achievement.’

The question now was how to steal it without getting caught.

‘It’s not easy.’

Later secretly sneak into Cedric’s lab and steal it?

difficult. No, that would be impossible.

As it is the professor’s laboratory, we confirmed earlier that all sorts of defense barriers were installed.

You can try, but in case of failure, it was difficult to handle the aftermath.

If you get caught stealing from a professor, it won’t end with a warning.

‘Moreover, they’re pampered like this, but they’ll take care of them more tightly than usual.’

Stealing is rejected.

You have to find another way.

I was scratching my head and thinking of several ways.

‘Oh my… .’

I was able to find some good options.

* * *

The way I came up with was simple.

Stealing is tough.

So what if you make an imitation?

‘Imitation, imitation… .’

Are you okay?

Anyway, Cedric didn’t know the true performance of the launcher.

All he knows is an old, shabby exterior.

It could have been possible if only the appearance was similar.

Having made my decision, I approached Cedric.

“professor. I have one request.”

“Well? what is it I’ll do whatever I can to help.”

From the moment I told him that I was interested in exploring another world, Cedric was showing great affection for me.

“If you don’t mind, can I take this item home and look at it some more?”

“Are you talking about accommodation? Hmm… .”

Cedric stroked his chin with a worried expression.

Even though the crush on me was very high, it seemed difficult to make a decision easily.

At this point, the final blow had to be struck.

“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you look here. However, the stallion at my accommodation is a stallion made by my father himself, and he has very deep knowledge. If you show this item to the servant, I asked you in case you could learn a secret that you haven’t been able to find out.”

Of course, that’s a lie.

Sebastian is a stallion created by Kyler Diablick himself and has a lot of knowledge, but what Sebastian knows is mostly what Demonic’s professor, Cedric, also knows.

However, in order to deceive others, you have to mix a little truth with a lot of lies.

“Didn’t the Great Demon King make it himself?”

And Cedric was completely fooled by my words.

“That’s right.”

“Um… then.”

After thinking for a while, Cedric nodded slowly.

“good night. I will entrust this item to you, so do some research.”

“thank you.”

“But you will have to be careful. It’s something that’s hard to find again.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“Now then, shall we continue our conversation?”

Cedric continued his story in an excited voice.

I also listened to him with a serious attitude and had a conversation.

The depth and breadth of his knowledge was amazing, probably because he was a professor-level person, and I was able to spend time learning many things I didn’t know.

the problem is.

‘This gentleman… Were you the talkative type? Now my ears hurt.’

When dealing with students in the classroom, he was a very blunt professor who did not open his mouth unless necessary.

Cedric, who had answered as simply as possible even when the students asked questions, was now talking excitedly with his eyes shining.

Seeing how he continues to talk about things he hasn’t asked, I wonder how he endured because he couldn’t tell me.

‘ah… tired.’

This is definitely helpful information.

However, no matter how good words are, if you rush them all at once, you will get annoyed and tired.

Besides, Cedric’s voice wasn’t that good, so it felt like his ears were getting tired.

It was none other than Veigar who saved me from wondering how to get out.

– Cedric. Can you come to the president’s office now?

Cedric, who had been crackling incessantly at the sound of Veigar’s voice coming from the communication orb, stopped talking.

“Ah, President. What are you doing?”

-Well… I have something to discuss. I’ve called a few other professors, so I’d like to join them.

“All right.”

Soon the sound from the marbles disappeared, and Cedric licked his lips in regret and stood up.

“I’m sorry about this. I still have a long story to tell.”

still left? crazy.

This man was an enormous hell talker beyond Two Much.

I think I should try to make a hole to escape as much as possible when I have a conversation in the future.

“it’s okay. I also wanted to research this stuff quickly, so that sounds good.”

“Good luck, then. I wish I could figure something out please. Even if it’s a small thing.”

“I will do my best.”

I left Cedric’s lab and returned to my inn.

＜Did you have a good day today?＞

Sebastian, who always greets me, approached me flapping his wings.

“okay. Oh, yes.”

Just in case, I asked Sebastian if he could make an imitation of the Hunter Launcher.

＜It’s possible to make something similar in appearance. However, I think it would be difficult to make the material the same.＞

“Hmm… Then it’s difficult.”

A person with abilities on the level of Cedric would surely notice if he returned a launcher that looked the same.

＜If you wish, you can make a more sophisticated item by requesting it from the craftsman in the castle. All you need is a small fragment of the object you want to create.＞

“okay? How long will it take?”

＜It depends on the size of the item, but if it’s the one the owner showed you, it can be done in two days.＞

“great.”

Then you don’t have to worry anymore.

“Then, should we start with the restoration?”

I took out the Hunter Launcher and placed it on my palm.

Then, he slowly began injecting Magi.

Squeak.

Unlike before, when the amount of Magi was deliberately reduced, this time, Magi was poured generously, and the launcher quickly began to recover its original form.

The cracks were gone, the holes were filled, and here and there the peeling color was refilled.

“I was worried, but it seems to work well. yes?”

The launcher, which restored its body with demonic energy rather than magical power, was a little different from before.

The appearance has not changed much, but the color has changed from a mixture of white and blue to red and black.

‘Is it because of the demon’s influence?’

It wasn’t strange, since artifacts can change depending on the owner’s circumstances.

“Let’s see if it goes well.”

Anyway, there are no hunters in this demon realm.

The rankings of the hunters would not appear, and the abilities of the monsters would of course not be displayed.

And as I expected, nothing was displayed on the screen.

“What… Even if it’s not that, there’s a part to use, so there’s nothing wrong with it.”

While trying to soothe the disappointment, an unexpected message appeared.

[Update starts.]

“yes?”

[There is a lot of unknown information. Please proceed with synchronization to collect information.]

What is this?

Hunter launcher started to show my unexpected changes.
