How To Survive at the Demon Academy

chapter 25



The light disappeared and the appearance of Jetty was revealed.

The appearance did not change much from before.

Still cute in a small body.

The light blue jelly-like form was also the same.

But there was one change that caught my eye.

‘That’s… It looks like wings.’

A pair of wings spread to the left and right of the small body.

It was a look that hadn’t been seen in Jetty before.

“Well… .”

I reached out and gently touched the wing.

“You are so soft.”

Elastic wings like jelly, identical to the body.

I wonder what I could do with these little wings, but since Jetty’s body was so small in the first place, it might be possible to fly with these wings.

“But why did you suddenly have wings?”

A situation in which the English language is not known.

A good explainer was right next to me to explain the situation.

<Various types of creatures live in this demon realm.>

I know.

Even though it is diverse, it is so diverse that it is a problem.

‘It was on a different level from the Earth, where races are only distinguished by skin color.’

Although it was a short time, there were countless beings encountered in this world of demons, ranging from humanoids to animal forms and even bizarre creatures that could be classified as monsters.

<Among them, there are objects that evolve when certain conditions are met.>

“Evolution… .”

<In evolution, there are cases where the appearance changes simply, and there are cases where special abilities are awakened.>

“In the case of Jetty, is it that only the appearance has changed?”

<I’m still not sure about that. However, judging from the size of the energy wave felt at the time of evolution, it is highly likely that he has awakened other abilities besides the change in appearance.>

“You don’t know what kind of ability it is?”

<I don’t know until then.>

The bottom line is that you will know exactly when Jetty wakes up.

And, as if waiting, Jetty’s eyes slowly opened.

“Haaam.”

The way she spreads her wings as if she were stretching herself further upgraded her cuteness.

“Hmm?”

Jetty, who has come to her senses, rolls her big eyes here and there.

Jetty, seeing the wings sprouting from her body, jumped in surprise.

“Uh, huh?”

Jetty’s eyes turned to me.

“Kyler, how did this happen?”

A look of incomprehensibility to the changes that have taken place in his body.

I didn’t know exactly what to say, so it was vague.

“Don’t you remember what happened earlier?”

“Before? ah!”

Only then does Jetty examine her body again.

“Aren’t you hurt? Me too, Kyler too.”

“okay. Fortunately, no damage was done.”

“As expected of Kyler.”

It was the light emitted from Jetty’s body that protected me and Jetty from the monster’s self-destruction, but he mistook it for me to block the explosion.

There was something I wanted to check before Jetty’s change.

“But why did you do something so dangerous earlier?”

“Dangerous? ah… .”

After hesitating for a moment, Jetty slowly opened her mouth.

“I just thought that Kyler was in danger, so I unknowingly threw myself.”

“It was a reckless move. I’m not weak enough for you to worry And it was a force that was difficult for your small body to handle.”

“Oh, sorry… .”

Big eyes shake.

A face that looks like it’s about to burst into tears.

“But your actions were not something anyone could do.”

“… uh?”

“Throwing it out for others without thinking about your own body is never an easy action.”

“Is that so?”

Seeing that his face immediately loosens up and he smiles, he is also very simple.

“And it’s true that no damage was done thanks to your strength.”

“Is it my strength?”

“You don’t remember?”

Jetty with an expression that doesn’t understand why.

Jetty has no reason to act, so it would be right to know nothing.

I slowly explained what had happened earlier.

“In my body… Did the light come out and create a shield?”

“Yes. I guess you could say it was like magic.”

“I was able to use magic?”

What if you ask me about it?

“I think it may have awakened a special power while evolving.”

“I don’t know, but is it good?”

“There is nothing bad about it.”

“I see. Hehe.”

Seeing a guy who just smiles happily makes me feel better too.

<Perhaps the desire to save the master was a strong motive for evolution.>

‘I think so too.’

Otherwise, there was no reason for Jetty to suddenly change in that situation.

“I recall knowledge in my head that I did not know before. Could this be magic?”

“Would you like to try it?”

“yes.”

Soon, a sky-blue light emanated from Jetty’s body, and the previously seen barrier formed around it.

“This is the magic that saved you and me from the explosion.”

“Wow… .”

Even though she made it herself, Jetty looks around as if she is curious.

Eventually, the shield disappeared and Jetty put on a slightly tired expression.

“But it’s a bit difficult to use this.”

“I think it would be better not to use it carelessly. Unless you can handle it perfectly yet.”

It’s better than before when I used it once and fainted, but it didn’t seem like a skill I could use often.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t say thank you properly. Thank you for stepping up for me earlier.”

“Hehe, it’s natural for friends.”

“A friend… Right. I, too, will do my best to help you as a friend in the future.”

“I wasn’t asking for anything.”

The more I look at it, the more I say things I like.

“I am a little tired.”

When it was confirmed that Jetty had no problems, the tension was relieved and fatigue set in.

“Right, Kyler must be having a hard time fighting a lot. Let’s go back and rest.”

“That’s a good idea.”

Since Jetty lived in a different dorm than me, we decided to part ways here.

Before we parted, a question suddenly came to my mind.

“By the way, how did you come and go between the dorm and the academy?”

I always remember riding on the head or shoulders of me and Albion, but I’ve never seen Jetty move alone.

“me? I threw myself away like this.”

Jetty moves quickly while bouncing her small body.

‘How can I say it, it’s such an insignificant move.’

The unusually high durability might be for that reason.

“But now that I can fly, I can move faster!”

Perhaps it has adapted to its new wings, and it flies through the air flapping its small wings.

A smile came out at that sight.

“That is good news.”

Excitedly, I waved at the flying jetty and returned to the inn.

* * *

“Today was a day where many things were gained in many ways.”

There were things that made me trust Jetty for sure, but most of all, it was the new technology that was acquired.

I checked the status window again in anticipation.

◆ Name: Kyler Diablick

◆ Age: 18

◆ Stats: Strength (585) Agility (597) Magi (604) Endurance (573) Dignity (97)

◆ Skills: Diablic Force (S) LV 5, Diablic Requiem (S) LV 1, Demonic Barrier (A)

“Hoo.”

His abilities, which had already been achieved to some extent in the magic dungeon, had risen noticeably after catching the boss, Slime.

Most of them were in the late 500’s, and in the case of Magi, it was over 600.

It was growing much faster than I expected.

But now the important thing was not the ability.

“You’ve got a new skill.”

I expected it to some extent from the time I got Diablic Requiem, but I wasn’t sure if it would actually be registered as a skill, but after checking it like this, I was able to know for sure.

I checked the new skills to be acquired.

<Dablic Requiem>

A skill that can only be used by beings who have mastered the Diablic Force.

It amplifies and emits condensed demonic energy, boasting the power of a one-hit kill.

It is divided into three levels of proficiency, and depending on the proficiency level, the power, range, and form of the skill change.

“Stage three… It was that powerful even though it was in the first stage, so it could be stronger here.”

<The Great Demon King’s Diablic Requiem that I know was more powerful than a dragon’s breath.>

“Are you surpassing the breath?”

<Yes.>

I’ve never actually encountered a dragon, and never seen a breath, but in games and novels, dragon’s breath has always been evaluated as the strongest skill.

If it was a skill that surpassed such a breath, it was hard to see it as an ordinary skill.

‘It’s still a dream for me, but.’

There will simply be a huge difference in ability levels and skill proficiency, so wanting the same level is greedy.

But I will continue to grow and become stronger.

If that’s the case, I wondered if I could reach a similar level someday.

“It definitely motivates me.”

During my Hunter days, I realized my limitations to some extent and settled for reality.

Before becoming an S-class hunter, I worked harder than anyone else, but from the moment I became an S-class hunter and made my name known, there was an effect of being lazy.

However, this world called the Demon World is a place where monsters exist that are incomparable to those of the Hunter days.

The name value is sufficient.

Since he is the son of the Great Demon King, it will be hard to find someone he doesn’t know.

In the end, what I need is the strength to overcome all situations on my own.

It is also overwhelming and requires great power.

Obviously, his abilities have become stronger than in his Hunter days, but it can be seen that his relative strength is rather pushed.

“In the end, it’s training, is it training again?”

It’s good because it’s not complicated.

<I will be there to help.>

“Thank you.”

The day when I had gained so much came to an end.

* * *

Days at Demonic go by surprisingly fast.

There was no special education, just repeated fights, and most of them were fights, but it was because the fights happened so often.

Of course not everyone is like that.

And now the beings who got out of the flow were doing something.

“That’s why you can naturally circulate the demonic energy here.”

“I do not know.”

“Is this difficult?”

“Sorry.”

I sighed as I watched Jetty rolling her eyes.

‘Teaching isn’t easy either.’

For Jetty, who had not yet mastered the Evil Force properly, it was good that he had obtained an appropriate Evil Force through Sebastian.

The problem is that getting Jetty to understand that is not easy.

In the first place, I also don’t know much about the Evil Force.

It became possible to use it naturally as it was changed to a skill, but it is difficult to teach it to others in many ways.

“Hahahaha! Don’t get too frustrated. It’s not something that can be done in haste.”

Albion laughed beside him.

The problem is that this guy can’t explain it properly either.

‘Should I ask the professors?’

In fact, if the professors teach them on their own in the first place, there is no problem at all.

However, this demonic is thoroughly neglected.

I don’t think they’ll kindly let you know that they’re going to ask.

‘Is Cedric different?’

If it was Cedric, who he had a good relationship with and helped in various ways, he might be surprisingly kind.

The moment I was in so much trouble.

[I hope that all students will now assemble at the grand banquet hall.]

A call-up order was issued to the entire Demonic.

“I don’t know what’s going on.”

It is very rare to summon everyone like this in the relatively autonomous atmosphere of the demonic.

That means you must participate.

“Let’s go for a moment.”

You’ll know everything when you go anyway.

We hurriedly moved to the grand banquet hall.

buzz buzz.

The students who arrived first were gathering and chatting at the grand banquet hall.

“What is going on?”

“I don’t know either.”

“Damn it, we had a good fight.”

“Be lucky.”

Looking at the tumultuous atmosphere, it seemed that the other students also did not know the exact reason.

Whoops.

In an instant, light began to emanate from the magic circle located on one side of the great banquet hall.

A phenomenon that informs that someone is appearing.

The light that was gradually growing in size covered the surroundings.

“It’s been quite a while. Demonic.”

As soon as the light disappeared, dozens of people appeared.
