It’s absurd.

I was foolish to think that this place was not much different, even for a moment.

The words that came out of Cedric’s mouth were shocking.

“that… I understand what you just said… .”

“Are you saying that we should only challenge stronger opponents?”

It seems that there are many people who think the same way as me.

It is a story that even those who have lived in the demon realm from the beginning are as absurd as they are embarrassing.

However.

“I hate to say the same thing twice. And this warning is the first and the last. I will explain it again, especially this time.”

Cedric looked at the students one by one, dimming his cool eyes.

“The Demon World is a world where one proves oneself through struggle and strength. Of course, there is no point in competing against opponents similar to yourself. Only fighting against those of a much higher level, which you cannot overcome, will make you grow.”

That’s not wrong.

Going beyond someone and taking their place is something that happens in any world.

In this world of demons, it can be said that it is natural.

the problem is.

‘Still, this is a bit harsh.’

The problem was that it was too fast.

Does it mean that only a few days after entering the school, he is only going to attack opponents who are significantly higher than his own abilities?

He even said there was no teaching.

It’s not enough that I told you to become stronger on your own, so you can only challenge stronger opponents.

It is not at the level of pushing off a cliff, but at the level of rolling a rock to the person who pushes it and comes up.

‘I can’t be persuaded by that absurd statement… .’

“Ohhhh! you’re right.”

“If you are a warrior in the Demon Realm, of course you have to fight against strong opponents.”

“I want to fight right now!”

have.

Fools who are persuaded.

even increasing.

and.

“Hahaha! I like it very much.”

Among them was a huge bear.

‘I forgot for a while that that guy was also from the Demon Realm… .’

I turned my head and looked at Jetty.

Still, with the expectation that Jetty will be normal.

“A fight with a stronger opponent… grow yourself… cool!”

To put my expectations to shame, Jetty’s eyes were rolling slightly.

It seemed that the body’s bouncing speed was gradually increasing, and it seemed that it would join the crowd that responded to Cedric’s words.

‘Well… At this point, I’m going to have to think that something strange is right.’

I’m of different ages, but my experiences as a Hunter are probably more diverse than anyone else here.

At least among the students, I think there is no one with more experience in life than me.

However, even with my experience, it was still difficult to get used to the world of demons.

It’s only been a few days, so it’s only natural.

“I will tell you the grade from now on.”

From Cedric’s mouth, each student’s name began to be called out.

From the lowest level 5 to level 4, level 3, level 2 and finally level 1.

Jetty was, as expected, the lowest level 5.

Albion is Tier 2.

and i

‘Didn’t the name get called?’

It was not included in any rating.

* * *

‘what?’

Didn’t Cedric forget to call his name?

No, it can’t be.

That eccentric professor had a very strict personality, and he didn’t look like he would make such a mistake.

Besides, Cedric, who was clearly aware of my existence, was less likely to omit my name.

“The grade you have just informed me will be maintained for exactly 3 months. After that, you will be given a chance to measure your grade again, so don’t neglect your efforts to raise the low guys and not to lower the high guys.”

After speaking, Cedric’s gaze turned to me.

“And there will be personnel whose names have not been called. Come forward.”

A total of 3 people responded to those words.

one is me

The other is Serenia.

Finally, there was one unknown person who covered his body with a black hood.

‘That’s… Who is it?’

Serenia was within the expected range.

Its direct combat abilities were not confirmed, but the charm-type abilities were sufficiently competitive.

But the other one was a stranger he had never seen before.

‘Was there ever a guy like that?’

The three whose names have not been called are probably beings with far superior skills than the other students.

Then it was said that this guy was also quite strong.

But in yesterday’s mess, he didn’t stand out too much.

Of course, it will not be normal as the professor directly selected it.

“Kailus Diablick, Serenia Violet, and Hercules. You three are the guys with the highest rank. As I said before, you can only challenge professors or seniors. and… .”

Cedric made eye contact with the three of us, including me.

“There is no way you guys can run into your seniors right now. I won’t explain why, as you will soon find out.”

“Then what do you mean?”

When Serenia asked again in a sharp voice, the cold radiating from Cedric’s body grew stronger.

“You’re asking something obvious. Since I can’t face my seniors, I can only challenge the professors.”

“What nonsense is that!”

Seeing Serenia in a fit of heat, Cedric shook his head and laughed again.

“Khehehe. Anyway, in the end, it is decided to prove the achievement by sparring with the professors and move on to the next step. You guys just got that opportunity a little sooner.”

“then… .”

Serenia’s reaction is also understandable.

The difference between sparring with professors after at least a year has passed and sparring with professors after only a week has passed.

However, it was neither a place nor an opponent for such foolishness.

“What do you guys think?”

The unidentified person who caught Cedric’s gaze slowly opened his mouth.

“No complaints whatsoever.”

I couldn’t see his face because the hood was pulled down tightly, but the voice I heard sounded like a man’s.

“Okay, what about Kyler Diablick?”

To be honest, it’s a little, no, it’s a lot of absurdity.

However, refusal doesn’t seem to work, and I don’t hate this kind of challenge in the first place.

Even during Hunter Academy days, even after becoming a Hunter, I always clashed recklessly for a higher level.

“Since I joined Demonic, I have no intention of rejecting the rules. I will do my best.”

“excellent.”

Cedric nodded as if he liked it.

In the end, Serenia had no choice but to accept it.

“… I know. I will follow.”

Serenia gave me a sharp look, but I ignored it and asked Cedric a question.

“By the way, can I challenge any professor?”

“Yes. No professor at Demonic will reject your challenge. Of course, it is at the professor’s individual discretion whether to take care of the situation properly.”

In a word, it is your heart that attacks, but it is the story that you are not responsible for being smashed.

‘Should I say it’s like a real demon?’

I’m starting to get a feeling that I’m going to get more tired in the future.

* * *

“By the way, how can I tell if my opponent is low or high?”

In the case of the same class, it is possible to know to some extent, but it is difficult to confirm with the members of other classes.

“The barriers installed throughout the Demonic will control everything. The barrier will tell you the level of the opponent, so you can act accordingly.”

The system seems to be in a better state than I thought.

At least, there doesn’t seem to be any trouble finding the wrong opponent.

“Then, start working hard from now on.”

Cedric, who informed the students of their grades and conveyed the message, disappeared in an instant.

It’s not strange because there was no set class in the first place and it wasn’t said that something was taught separately.

‘Then what can I do now… .’

At least 10 fights a week.

Less is less and more is many.

It means that you have to fight at least once a day, and there are days when you have to fight twice.

It is not a difficult number to fill due to the nature of demonics where fights happen every day.

The problem is that opponents are limited.

‘Even in my case, I only have to deal with professors.’

There may be a match against seniors later, but right now, the only thing I can deal with is the professors.

‘It’s rather good.’

There is a lot to be gained by competing against professors who are much stronger than against weak opponents who can’t even take a single hit.

It was because a stronger opponent was more efficient in order to raise their stats.

It’s a bizarre academy that doesn’t tell you anything and you have to realize yourself.

Of course, from my point of view, it could be said that it was a welcome thing.

“Kaylus is of the highest rank, after all.”

“As expected, the lineage of the Great Demon King is different. Ha ha.”

Jetty and Albion, who had approached before me, sent eyes of respect.

“You too can become strong enough. No, it will.”

“Sure. My goal is to become the best warrior in my clan. I will prove that in this demonic.”

Albion knocks on his chest and confidently reveals his aspirations.

But Jetty didn’t.

“Will I be able to… ?”

Emotion dwelling in big eyes.

It was anxiety and sadness.

Read at noblemtl. com

Understanding goes.

I am of the lineage of the Great Demon King and received the highest rank, and Albion also received the second rank.

From the point of view of the 5th grade Jetty, there is no choice but to lose confidence.

“Don’t give up. It’s not too late to challenge yourself to the limit and then go back and think again.”

It could be word of mouth.

But at least you have to regret after doing something.

I once had a friend who gave up and stopped trying.

Maybe it’s more because he and Jetty look overlapping.

“I will help you in the future, so you just have to try. Trust me and follow me.”

Could it be that he was even moved by my confident words?

Jetty’s big eyes tremble slightly.

“okay. I will try hard.”

Jetty who strengthens her will.

You never know how strong this little slime friend will become.

I don’t even know how far the knowledge I know can go.

But at least.

‘I have to make sure I don’t get hit anywhere.’

They are the first friends I made after falling into a strange world.

If I can help I want to help as much as possible.

Of course, we’ll have to wait a little longer to see if we can trust it perfectly.

“Of course I will be with you, right?”

Albion puts his hand on his shoulder and smiles.

“Of course.”

It was at this moment that a strange party was formed, consisting of a large bear, slime, and the son of the Great Demon King.

* * *

“great. Then, let’s try sparring right away.”

“uh… now?”

“There is no reason to delay.”

Although Jetty made a puzzled expression.

“The pants I wanted. Actually, from the beginning, I was wondering if my skills would work for Kyler.”

Albion was rather excited and began to warm up.

“It’s a bit crowded here, so let’s go to a quieter place.”

There were belligerent guys who had already started fighting on all sides, so it didn’t matter if we did it here.

But now I’m in a situation where I get a lot of attention.

It wasn’t too much of a burden, but the quiet side was better for training.

It was the same for Jetty and Albion.

I found a place where people were rare and moved, and after a while.

“I think it would be nice here.”

I was able to find a very wide vacant lot.

Compared to the large space, there were few people around, so it seemed okay to train somewhat rough.

“uh… here is… .”

“Is that right there?”

However, the expressions on their faces were strange.

It seemed that he was embarrassed, and it was a feeling that he knew this place by looking a little.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Ah, that… .”

The answer came from behind.

“I finally met you. Kyler Diablick.”

A being wearing a strange mask was standing where the voice came from.
