Dozens of people appeared above the magic circle.

Each of them had a variety of looks, races, and genders, but they had one thing in common.

It was the costume.

Exactly, the color of the clothes was the same.

Everyone was covered in white, including people wearing armor, people wearing plain clothes, and people wearing robes.

Their uniforms, which were unified in white to the extent that it was hard to find any other color, were clothes that were rarely seen in this world of demons.

‘Come to think of it, white is really rare.’

In my time in this demonic, I have rarely seen white or any color similar to it.

The clothes were ornaments, and there were more dark colors than bright colors in the surrounding buildings.

The only white color he had seen so far was the white mixed with the skeleton students and food, and the light emitted from the magic circle.

No matter how much I think about it, nothing more comes to mind.

And I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t adapt to their colors.

“What is it, those foolish bastards?”

“I’d never expect to see guys dressed up in that color in the Pandemonium.”

“At first glance, it looks weak. Ha ha ha!”

“But I think I’ve seen it somewhere before.”

Most of them were embarrassed by the appearance of that white group, but looked down on them.

But that was an illusion.

‘I’m not weak.’

No, it was rather strong.

The momentum that was simply felt was not so threatening.

But that’s because the energy stored inside didn’t flow out.

I could clearly see the strength of that group.

‘The ability level is ridiculous.’

Not all of them were confirmed, but the few people in front were on the same level as Cedric.

The people behind me were also similar to me, or their abilities were about 100 higher.

If a battle broke out right away, the students here would not be strange even if they were killed in an instant.

Above all, the one who doesn’t make sense.

‘I can’t even check that person’s abilities.’

It was impossible to grasp the abilities of the one in the front wearing the white mask.

One thing this means.

That person is stronger than you can imagine.

‘In the Demonic, only President Bay was unable to check his abilities.’

It was the story of a strong man outside the standard that he met for the second time after coming to this world of demons.

‘But when I go there, I think I’ve seen it somewhere, but where did I see it?’

There are many people living in Demonic, and of course, there are many people who wear masks.

So it’s not unusual for outsiders to wear masks.

But that white mask was definitely a mask that remained in my memory.

‘Where did you see it… ah!’

For a moment, I think of a guy wearing a mask and running around.

‘I’m sure Erina wore a mask like that.’

Although the size of the mask and the pattern engraved on it are slightly different, the overall appearance is almost the same.

‘Are they people related to him by any chance?’

I don’t know, but considering Erina’s skills, I think she also has a pretty great background.

Then there was a possibility that those people came because of Erina.

“It’s been quite a while. Demonic.”

A white mask that looks around with calm eyes.

You can feel the composure of the strong in every action.

Then someone started approaching him.

“It’s been a while. Harold.”

It was Veigar, the president.

“long time no see. President.”

A white mask bowing its head in greeting.

“okay. Almost 10 years?”

“It seems to be about that. He still corrects you.”

“You seem to have gotten stronger. Rumors are well known. Trevius-sama gave me a lot of compliments.”

“I am ashamed. It’s just that the lord looks good on you.”

“I’ve been watching you since your student days, but I’m trembling with humility.”

“ha ha ha. It is too much praise.”

Harold looked around and opened his mouth.

“It seems that Demonic is still there.”

“Um, yes. It’s always noisy, and it’s always running fiercely.”

“Shouldn’t we introduce ourselves to the students first?”

“Right. Please wait a moment.”

Veigar headed to the podium located in the center of the great arena.

“Everyone pay attention.”

A heavy presence that instantly calms the noisy atmosphere.

‘It’s definitely not normal.’

Even thinking about it now makes me dizzy.

I told a nobleman like that to be quiet because he was noisy in the first meeting… .

If I had met in a place other than Demonic, I would not have been able to recover.

“You will be taken aback by the sudden summons. Today, I have something to tell you guys, so I ordered you to gather.”

The eyes of the students naturally turned to the side.

“The people here are the coldest place in the demon realm, the land where everything is frozen. They are members of the Frozen, one of the combat teams under the direct command of the great demon king, Trevius Kryren, who rules the place.”

* * *

The atmosphere of the students changed due to the unexpected congestion.

“If you’re talking about Trevius-sama, are you referring to the ruler of the east?”

“Is there anyone else besides Trevius?”

“I have heard of Frozen. They said it was a combat group that was hard to find an opponent for.”

“No, but why is the famous Frozen here?”

Veigar, who had been watching the student commotion, opened his mouth again.

“And the leader of Frozen here is also your senior. It would be better to introduce yourself.”

Harold, who was behind, slowly stepped forward.

“Hmm… You have a lot of juniors. nice to see you. My name is Harold Lane. I attended this demonic 15 years ago and graduated with a lot of achievements.”

The fact that Frozen’s leader was from Demonics made the students realize various emotions.

Hope they can be like that if they try.

The desire to achieve higher achievements than Harold.

Concern about how hard it would be to achieve that kind of achievement.

Finally, the question of why did you come here?

Veigar answered that instead.

“Frozen members, including Harold, will stay in Demonic for the next three weeks.”

Students meet each other’s eyes at unexpected words.

A combat team under the direct control of the Demon King, which is rarely seen, stays for three weeks.

Obviously, it is common to think of preparing for a great event.

I too had a similar thought.

‘Are you trying to do something grandiose?’

Even when I was attending Hunter Academy in the past, I remember doing various events in collaboration with seniors and large guilds.

I think the academy would be similar here as well.

However.

“Then the explanation is over, everyone go back and do your own thing.”

?

If this is the case, why did they all call us?

Again, this demonic is not normal.

No explanation.

Why did they come and what are they trying to do?

‘Maybe he just came here to tour.’

It’s absurd to think about it, but it might be possible in this unpredictable world.

“Ah, yes.”

Veigar, who was about to leave, smiles at the students.

“I will not stop you from challenging a member of Frozen. However. Let yourself take care of the aftermath.”

Veigar’s words drive a wedge into the chaotic atmosphere.

The atmosphere among the students became raucous again.

“Ha ha ha! If you were strong, how strong would you be?”

“I want to see how well my skills work.”

“I have no fear of a broken man.”

“This bastard? Let’s stick together again.”

I looked around and sighed lightly.

‘As expected, there are no normal people here.’

To be honest, these guys know it all too well.

that they will never be opponents.

In the first place, unless there are a few particularly strong students, they are no match for them.

Even that would only work for the lowest-ranking members.

But even so, the attitude to challenge like that deserves to be praised.

To put it badly, they’re just crazy about fighting.

‘I guess this is why there are so many strong people in the demon realm.’

Actually, that’s not bad news for me either.

The fact that there are a lot of strong players also means that there are more opportunities to raise stats.

‘yes?’

In an instant, I felt the presence of someone next to me.

A small student wearing a white mask.

It was Erina.

* * *

Erina hesitated as if she had something to say.

We haven’t met a lot, but looking at his behavior and personality so far, it was a bit awkward.

“What’s going on?”

“… … .”

“If you have nothing to say, I will go.”

“there… If anyone asks about me, tell me you don’t know.”

“What are you saying.”

“… Anyway! let me do that Enough then.”

Erina disappears in an instant, leaving behind unknown words.

Also, that guy is weird.

“What a silly guy.”

I was about to break my interest in him so lightly and leave the place, but someone started talking to me.

“Are you okay for a moment?”

“Who else dares to bother me… of course.”

It was Veigar, the president.

‘I almost made another mistake.’

We haven’t met a few times, but that guy’s personality isn’t that generous… I know for sure.

If I had made a mistake this time, I might have made a fuss again.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, not me, but this friend wanted to talk.”

“Nice to meet you. Kyler Diablick.”

It was Harold who lightly greeted Veigar by his side.

“Then let’s talk. I have something to do, so I’m going to go.”

“See you later.”

“Good job.”

Veigar disappears in an instant.

It was definitely a strong player that was still hard to figure out at my level.

“I would like to greet you again. My name is Harold, the leader of Frozen.”

“This is Kyler Diablick.”

Harold looked at me and nodded slightly.

“It’s definitely as rumored. No, it seems that the rumors were rather lacking.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“no. It seems difficult to find a match for Kyle’s at his age.”

I can’t even predict Harold’s strength, but the opponent seems to have grasped everything in that short moment.

‘In a way, it’s obvious.’

In the first place, it is a strong force outside the standard.

If he was the leader of the combat team under the direct control of the Great Demon King, I would think he would be several times stronger than I am right now, even if he was at a minimum.

‘But I don’t think he had anything special with me.’

Watching them talk, they talked as if they were meeting for the first time.

It was fortunate that meeting with those who knew the original Kyler had to be delayed as much as possible.

“Then why did you ask to see me?”

“Ah, nothing different. Do you know the name Erina?”

The unexpected name that came out of Harold’s mouth.

No, I was thinking about it.

Because the mask made me doubt his connection with him.

But it was a bit surprising to hear it in person.

“Erina… It’s a name I don’t know.”

A little while ago, Erina had asked me to say that I didn’t know about her.

I didn’t have to listen, but I decided to respond.

“Is that so? Ah, Erina-sama is Trevius-sama’s daughter.”

“You mean the daughter of the Great Demon King?”

“you’re right.”

Erina was a much bigger mogul than I thought.

After all, I thought there was something, but I thought it was the daughter of the Great Demon King.

“The young lady left the castle without saying anything and entered Demonic.”

“… What do you mean?”

“Simply put, it’s a story that he ran away from home.”

“… … .”

No words come out of the absurdity.

The noble status of being the daughter of the Great Demon King.

To run away from home with such an identity and enter the academy?

And what else is the demonic that was rushed without checking it properly?

‘No, it’s possible with this crazy academy.’

In the first place, he said that he did not consider high or low status.

It’s not impossible since there are many people who come in hiding their identities.

“Is that why you came here to find the runaway?”

“Not necessarily. I had a mission, and I made a visit with both company and company. But do you really not know Erina-sama?”

“That’s right.”

“That is strange. If it was Erina-sama’s personality, I think she would have challenged Kyler-sama.”

I did take on the challenge.

Although it was lightly smashed by me.

“Maybe he tried to hide his identity. Because there were so many battles here, it might not be memorable.”

“Haha, that can’t be. If Erina-sama was strong, Kyler-sama would have struggled too.”

Although he speaks politely, he is full of confidence that Erina will never be taken lightly.

this gentleman?

It feels like they are provoking me while subtly touching my pride.

I guess I’ll have to check it out properly.
