“It was when I was 9 years old. It was the day when the high-ranking demons had a meeting at Diablo-sama’s castle.”

A vast territory ruled by the great demon king Diablo.

Of course, it was difficult to rule that many areas alone with Diablo.

So, among the many demons who followed him, he selected strong and loyal ones and gave them territories and titles, and they were 2 dukes and 5 marquesses.

Esca visited the Demon Castle with her father, the Marquis of Ekron, and met the children of other demons there.

“Most of them were around my age, and I tried to make friends with them without thinking.”

However, the relationship between high-ranking demons where it is taken for granted that each other checks each other.

Of course, the flow continued to their children.

“At that time, I was an immature child who loved to read books and enjoy hanging out with friends.”

“Isn’t that normal at that age?”

“If it is normal, then yes. However, it is different if it is a child of a high-ranking demon. You must have learned a lot from your childhood too, right?”

“Well… It was.”

Kyler’s past, which he confirmed through his diary, also contained information about various fields.

“Actually, I would like to know how much the young children had to learn, but the gap between those who learned even a little and those who did not was rather large because they were young.”

“Did you get into a fight with the other guys?”

“similar. It started as a strange pride fight and reached a situation where we were exchanging fists.”

In that fight, Esca had to be defeated one-sidedly.

Esca, who had not received proper education or training and was small in size, was beaten by other children and shed tears.

“And then you appeared.”

“I?”

“okay. Perhaps ‘It is not right for a group of people to bully the weak.’ I think I said that.”

It seems that the unique way of speaking has remained since childhood.

“The other guys who didn’t recognize you at first attacked you too, but you knocked them down very easily.”

“I think I can remember.”

“Really?”

Little by little, as you pretend to know, Esca’s face turns bright.

He’s a really simple guy.

“But what happened after that?”

“I used to say what losers say. ‘Do you think it will be all right? Do you know who I am?’ I mean the same thing.”

“That must have been so much fun.”

“right. It was insane to say such a thing to Diablo-sama’s son in the Demon Castle.”

The story behind it was not very different from what I expected.

When Kylers Diablick’s identity was revealed, the others rolled their tails and fell to their knees, much to their father’s scolding.

“You said you reached out your hand to me, who was left alone after everyone left. If you have no friends, I will be your friend. come find me anytime And even though it was a short time, it was quite enjoyable.”

After hearing the story, I understood Esca’s crush on me.

There are many cases where experiences experienced at a young age have a big impact even when we grow old, and Esca was such a case.

“In fact, if it is trivial, it can be seen as trivial. But at that time, the only person who reached out to me was you, and I couldn’t forget that. After that, I worked hard. At least I didn’t want to show my lacking side when we met again.”

“Sorry for not remembering.”

“Okay. After all, we became friends again.”

If it was the original Kyler Diablick, he might have remembered Esca.

You may have treasured your childhood memories.

‘I’ll have to think about what to do if something similar happens in the future.’

In the case of Esca, it was a memory from her childhood, so she was able to get over it, but recently, when dealing with people she knew before coming to Demonic, it was difficult to show loopholes.

Of course, I was preparing with Sebastian in various ways, but it was good to be careful because there could be another case of a sudden encounter.

“By the way, Kyler. Do you have any plans to create your own faction?”

“My forces?”

“It literally means gathering people who follow you or want to be with you.”

“I don’t have any thoughts right now.”

“Even before Lucifer became the student council president, there were not a few people who followed him. And they are now moving as the hands and feet of the student council.”

“Hmm… .”

“It wouldn’t hurt to think about it. In any case, at your level, people will inevitably gather around you.”

As Esca said, it is not difficult for me to create a force if I want to.

The most outstanding background among freshmen.

And even the skills that can be counted in your hands.

Conditionally, it was the best.

‘Even the guys around me right now aren’t normal.’

Aside from Zetina Albion, in the case of Erina and Serenia, there are beings with backgrounds comparable to mine.

His skills aren’t too bad either.

Serenia openly dragged her followers around, so if I wanted to gain power, they could all come under me.

However, I did not feel the need or interest in creating a force.

‘Because it’s annoying.’

Right now, I just wanted to think about getting stronger.

However, I was a little sorry to ignore the advice Esca gave me.

“Let me think about it.”

“If there is anything I can help with, I will help.”

“That goes for me too. Friends should help each other.”

Esca’s lips went up at my words.

He’s a very easy-going guy.

I’d say it’s that pure.

Have you ever heard of a story from the past?

Somehow, I feel a little more comfortable and closer.

I slowly looked around.

‘Everyone works hard.’

Erina swinging her sword and perfecting her movements.

Jetty practicing magic with her eyes closed.

Albion is training his shoulder muscles with a rock in the distance.

Finally, to Esca next to me.

In the future, I will meet many people and get entangled again, but the time with the friends next to me will continue.

so.

“Then let’s continue training.”

Now I just have to do what I can.

* * *

Demonic always with a similar vibe.

A daily picture where fights are always taking place, training on its own, and becoming stronger on its own.

However, changes began to occur when the seniors returned.

There have been many changes, but the biggest change is.

‘Did there be a concept of education in Demonic?’

It was an education that brought students together.

There have been cases where professors have sometimes given teaching or training to visiting students, but I have never experienced a situation where all students are gathered together to teach something.

It was funny how a normal academy would feel so alien to the situation, but it was natural since this was not a normal academy in the first place.

And today is education day.

“Has everyone gathered?”

Cedric clicked his chin as he watched the students gathered in the classroom.

“The number of members of the Black Flame Team… How many were there?”

Nearly two months had passed since the new students came in, and it was a bit serious that they hadn’t even figured out the exact number yet.

But no one was in a mood to blame it.

“I do not know.”

Students who answer confidently.

Seeing that, Cedric clicked his chin again.

“Well, it doesn’t matter if everyone hasn’t gathered. In the end, you will have to deal with the things you didn’t learn because you fell into class. Now then, follow me.”

Cedric led the students to the auditorium.

Other students had already come and settled there.

It is not within the expected range.

the problem is.

‘Looks like seniors over there.’

There were a number of people occupying one space.

Although they were smaller in number than the freshmen, they exuded a much stronger presence.

The momentum was also strong, but seeing the appearances of Galius and Esca, it was clear that they were seniors.

‘What the hell am I trying to do?’

Battle against seniors?

not.

There is no reason to gather like this in the demonic where fights are already taking place every day.

For similar reasons, sparring with professors is also the same.

If so, a place for exchange where seniors and juniors get to know each other?

It won’t be either.

As soon as they return, they are seniors beating up juniors, so I wonder if exchanges will work out well.

So what the hell is the intention?

Most of the students, including me, seemed to be curious about the purpose of gathering here.

In addition, there were not a small number of professors who were seated in front of them.

‘Were there so many demonic professors?’

It was not possible to know exactly how many professors there were because they did not teach and did not introduce themselves.

However, the number of professors now shown on the podium was not small.

I wonder where he was hiding like that.

‘I don’t think it’s a trivial number.’

After a while, Veigar, the president, came up to the podium.

“The reason I gathered you guys today is simple. You will form a group with the seniors next to you and go out.”

buzz buzz.

Unexpected words caused commotion among the freshmen.

However, the seniors are in a very calm state, probably because they have already received a word.

‘Go out… .’

I wouldn’t just go out and look around.

Because I wasn’t a demonic who would do meaningless things like that.

Veigar’s words continued.

“You must be well aware that your seniors have accumulated many experiences in various rough places in the Demon Realm. You guys will go through the same experience later. You can think of it as rehearsing in advance today.”

In short, the story of going out and rolling hard.

‘It must be fun.’

Since they are still freshmen, I will not give them the same level of difficulty as the seniors.

No matter how extreme the demonic is, it guarantees a minimum level of safety for the students.

Judging from the atmosphere there, it seems that the professors are also accompanying them, so I don’t think I need to worry too much.

“Okay, let’s split up our groups from now on.”

Under the guidance of the professors, freshmen and seniors began to mix.

After a while.

“Now, the professor and senior next to you guys will be with you until the end of this outing.”

Joe’s composition was simple.

One professor, one senior, and two freshmen.

The group I belonged to was the same.

I checked the crew around me.

‘what?’

In the case of the senior, it was the first person I saw.

But professors and freshmen are people I’ve seen before.

“nice to meet. I am the person in charge who will lead you on this outing. My name is Michael.”

“Take good care of me.”

A blonde haired professor in a black suit.

It was a professor who left a strong impression by ordering a hamburger and an Americano at a restaurant.

‘I didn’t know we’d meet like this.’

Since it’s such a wide demonic, I hadn’t had a chance to meet him, so I’d forgotten about it, but I thought it would be nice to have a conversation this time.

I turned my gaze to the side.

“We will be together again.”

“That’s right. I wish you well this time.”

It was Hercules, who had experienced magic dungeons together in the past.

It was impressive to see him still wearing the odd hood.

The last is a black-haired man with a pale impression.

His skin was pale beyond white enough to make you think he was in pain somewhere.

“This is Radius.”

Radius, who plainly reveals his name, was the senior he would be with today.

“If you have anything to prepare, tell me. I can give you a little bit of time.”

Michael’s gaze turned to me.

“I am okay.”

I put various items in the magic pouch I got from Toby, so I didn’t have to prepare anything else.

“Okay, what next?”

“I am ready too.”

Same with Hercules.

“you?”

“I think you can leave.”

Michael nodded at Radius’ answer.

“great. Then follow me.”

Michael led us to the prepared magic circle.

“Okay, everyone, get up here. And be careful, as you never know what will happen right after you arrive.”

Soon, the magic circle radiated light and opened the space, swallowing the figures of me and the party.
