How To Survive at the Demon Academy

Sudden Harold’s suggestion.

The first feeling I felt was bewilderment.

I wondered if I had heard it wrong, so I asked again.

“Did you say Dalian?”

“That’s right.”

The answer I heard did not change.

Seeing the serious expression on his face, he wasn’t joking.

‘What is your intention?’

Is he trying to get revenge on Erina’s behalf?

It’s nonsense.

First of all, the level is different.

No, it’s not a different degree, it’s incomparable.

I don’t know the exact stats, but if I was serious, would I be able to withstand even one attack?

‘Even if it’s similar to Veigar or a little weaker than that, it must be seen that he can’t stand it.’

Even now, the power of Veigar she experienced at the entrance ceremony remains strong in her memory.

Of course, it is said that he has become a little stronger than then, but that doesn’t seem to change the situation.

Besides, Harold is the leader of the combat team.

You can be considered an expert in combat.

If that’s the case, it’s right to see that it’s more difficult to deal with.

‘No, why am I worrying about this in the first place?’

Just say no and that’s it.

that’s a normal reaction

However.

‘I don’t think it would be bad to try it once.’

There are things you can definitely get from a battle with an opponent stronger than yourself.

In fact, even during my Hunter days, I had a lot of experience challenging opponents stronger than me.

There is only one reason why I couldn’t do that when I came here.

‘Because there weren’t many strong opponents.’

To be precise, there were no strong players to compete with while my safety was guaranteed.

Excluding the professors, the Xeon I met in the arena was my strongest opponent.

However, it is true that it was dangerous to bet against him in the arena.

However, the story is different when it comes to Harold in front of him.

‘I’m sure he won’t deal with her seriously.’

As long as I put forward the name of Dalian, I think it will match my level to some extent.

If it weren’t for that, there would be no point in sparring, and it couldn’t be considered sparring in the first place.

‘It wouldn’t be for the purpose of embarrassing me.’

In the first place, my status is the son of the Great Demon King.

At the very least, it was said that he was on the same level as Erina over there.

It is true that the leader of the combat team under the direct control of the Great Demon King has a high status, but even with that status, it was difficult to treat me recklessly because of my name.

Do you harm and humiliate me like that?

‘That’s just a story about starting a war.’

But from what I’ve heard so far, he doesn’t seem to have any ill feelings toward me.

I asked Sebastian just in case.

‘Isn’t the relationship between Trebius and his father good?’

＜No. The areas are far apart, so there was no big bump, and there wasn’t much interaction. It seems right to see that there was nothing bad about the relationship.＞

‘Right.’

If it had been bad, I would have doubted it, but if not, there seems to be no need to worry anymore.

“How do you plan to do sparring?”

My words made a difference in Harold’s eyes.

A slightly startled voice came out as if he hadn’t expected it to be accepted so quickly.

“I will deal with you according to Kyler’s level. First of all, if you attack me, I think I can do it in the form of receiving it.”

“Are you saying you won’t fight back?”

“That’s up to Kyler.”

That’s a bit arrogant.

Words with confidence that no matter how hard I try, I will never attack myself.

Herold’s words aroused a little sympathy.

I wanted to change my self-confident expression.

“All right. Then let’s try.”

* * *

We moved to the center of the clearing.

Then, Erina hurriedly approached.

“What are you thinking?”

“What do you mean?”

“No, no matter how strong you are, Harold is a strong man on a different level.”

“I know it well.”

It’s an opponent I can’t do anything at the point where I can’t check my abilities in the first place.

“But why?”

“Didn’t you say Dalian? If this is a life-or-death battle, you should definitely avoid it. But if it’s a sparring where I can get something, there’s no reason to avoid it.”

“That’s it again.”

Erina quickly understood and stepped back.

But don’t forget to leave a word.

“… Keep in mind. Harold is different from me. You’d better be careful.”

I’m saying the obvious.

It’s a sparring that can’t be established if the other side doesn’t take care of the situation in the first place.

I looked at the smiling Harold in the distance.

A calm face without any tension.

‘Well, I’m sure that’s the case too.’

In the past, when he was a hunter, he gave training to juniors at the academy.

At that time, I wasn’t nervous at all, but Harold had no reason to be nervous in the present situation, where there was a far greater difference than that.

Harold opened his mouth as he looked at Erina, who was seated far away.

“Erina-sama, Trevius-sama is a strong representative of the Pandemonium. Of course, the evil force and various techniques that Erina-sama learned are also the strongest in the demon realm… One of them.”

Then, he sneaks a glance at me.

He probably cares about being the strongest in the Demon World.

It could be seen that the value of the name of the father, the great demon king, was so great that even such a strong person would pay attention.

‘Sebastian. How strong is Trebius compared to his father?’

＜Based on my ranking, Trevius can be seen as 5th.＞

‘Fifth place… It’s on the high side.’

Actually, it’s a natural story.

It’s not that there are dozens of great demon kings in the demon realm, it’s rather strange that there are only five of them, and their ranking is low.

＜And the evaluation of the entire Pandemonium is estimated to be around 7th.＞

‘7th place?’

It was a little surprising.

To be honest, I thought the 5 Great Demon Kings would rank 1st to 5th.

And it can be said that it is only a two-level difference, but at the top level, the second level cannot be evaluated simply as a number.

＜In the case of Trevius, he has rarely acted outside of his realm. It can be said that there are relatively little known influences.＞

In any case, it is clear that it is a high ranking.

But his father, Diablo, ranks higher than that.

The conviction that Harold couldn’t do anything to me grew stronger.

“If Erina-sama continues to devote herself to training, Trevius-sama’s skills will give her wings. I will prove it now.”

Hearing that, I could understand why Harold insisted on sparring with me.

It seems that it was to restore Erina’s confidence.

I thought that the strength of technology would be meaningless if there was such a difference in level, but I decided not to say it.

“Oh, yes. How about making a simple bet before the sparring?”

“You mean a bet?”

“yes. Of course, since it is a sparring with a difference in level, I will set conditions.”

“Tell me.”

“If you get me to move from my place, Kyler-sama will win.”

“Can I make it move?”

“That’s right.”

To be honest, this makes me a little angry.

How many times do you ignore me to put such ridiculous conditions on me?

But if you think about it, it makes sense.

It was an incomparable level of difference in the first place.

“I will accept it.”

“If I win the bet, the favor I want to ask is simple. I want you to be friendly with Erina-sama.”

It was an unexpected request.

I said while looking at Erina who was watching from afar.

“Is that all?”

“That’s right. It’s because Erina-sama is shy and can’t make many friends.”

Were you shy?

It didn’t seem like that kind of personality at all, but I decided to move on for now.

“All right. So what do I get if I win the bet?”

“yes? Oh, if you win… I do not know.”

The situation in which you lose is a reaction you never thought about.

Actually, it’s not strange.

I would have thought so if the country had this much of a gap.

“How about giving me a wish ticket?”

“If it’s a wish ticket… .”

“You’re going to listen to what I’m asking for once.”

“Hmm… .”

After thinking for a while, Harold nodded.

“I will accept it.”

The response was that if I don’t lose, I’ll stop.

“Then shall we begin?”

“good. Come in.”

I know very well that I am not an opponent.

But I don’t want to be intimidated from the start.

‘It might have the effect of sparring, where safety is guaranteed to some extent.’

I slowly looked at Harold.

The sight of him standing still with his arms down seemed so defenseless.

However.

‘There are no gaps.’

I couldn’t see any room to dig in.

No, there were many gaps.

However, the moment he tried to move towards the gap, the gap disappeared and turned into a solid wall.

In reality, white cold air was spreading like a thin wall around Harold.

‘Is this a skill similar to my magic barrier?’

In any case, I will not be attacked first.

Because I said I would just accept it from the beginning.

‘Then I won’t hesitate.’

I decided to do my best from the start.

It’s meaningless to re-evaluate from the level gap right now anyway.

I raised my demon to the limit with Diablic Force.

And kicked off quickly.

Paaah.

shaft.

It was so fast that it gave the illusion that space had been pierced for an instant.

The target point of the attack is Harold’s flank.

Wow!

Harold raised his arm and lightly received the attack without spilling the attack.

‘It must be said that it is not a threat at all.’

So will the country.

It’s because it’s easier to block an attack than to dodge or spill it when the ability is overwhelming.

I used the shock’s recoil to move behind Harold.

Roaring-

Red demonic energy formed on both fists.

Continuous attack from left and right.

It was a heavy attack that put pressure on the surrounding space.

However.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam-

Even that was blocked by a light gesture.

No, to be precise, it was blocked by the white aura around Harold.

‘There’s no way to do this.’

Strength, speed, and demonicity would all be incomparable.

In addition, the level of technology possessed is also not very different from opponents.

If you keep attacking in this state, it’s just meaningless stamina consumption.

‘Then I have no choice but to give it a big shot.’

There is a very good skill to use in the current situation.

It was Diablick Requiem.

In practice, it is a skill that is difficult to use in a defenseless state.

Because the consumption of demonic energy is large and there is a slight gap in compressing the demonic energy.

However, Harold said he would not move from his seat. There is no way to attack first.

In short, it is a target that does not move.

‘At least try to make it move in place.’

I raised my demonic energy, and soon a red aura like a haze rose from all over my body.

And soon, a flash of red formed on my hand.

‘I might get really exhausted if I use this.’

I didn’t know anything when I first used it, but now it is possible to compress more magic energy.

The consumption of magic will be greater, but the power will be stronger.

A little surprise lingered on Harold’s complacent face.

‘Did you feel the energy of Diablick’s Requiem?’

You should have noticed enough that it wasn’t an ordinary skill.

But that’s for a while.

Harold, who returned to his normal expression, continued to watch me.

‘okay. You’d think it wouldn’t work in the current situation.’

For me, it was rather better.

‘after… It’s definitely harder than last time.’

The amount of compressed demonic energy continued to increase in size, and the red flash began to grow thicker and darker.

and.

“Dablic Requiem!”

I stretched out my fist towards Harold, who had a relaxed expression on his face.

Quarreureung!

A huge red ray of light shot through the space, and a white barrier was erected layer by layer in front of Harold.

Wow!

huge crash.

All of my attacks were blocked by a wall of ice.

At most, enough to crack the first barrier.

However, my target was not Harold in the first place.

“Haa!”

The red light beam, which had struggled with the barrier, turned its trajectory and headed for the floor.

Kwak Kwa Kwak!

The strong impact shakes the floor.

At the same time, the floor cracked and left a large hole.

Harold, who lost his footing, instinctively jumped up.

“I… It looks like you won.”

I raised the corner of my mouth as I saw Harold making a puzzled expression.
