14 – full moon – 1

“Congratulations, Michelle.”

“yes?”

Adrian’s voice. However, this time it was not heard in the meadow, but in the lecture hall. Michelle, who had been standing there blankly, came to her senses at some point.

what are you celebrating She first looked around.

“Congratulations on having the shortest attention span in this failing class.”

“ah.”

Only then did I understand

Everyone was concentrating on their data, but only Michelle stood up from her seat. With one unbroken hand holding the letter of resignation.

“Oh no!”

fired right away.

There was no end to the unfair points. Who caused me to get up from my seat? It’s because you suddenly hugged my body on your own!

Just hugging… leaning on… you… ugh…

“Are you so resentful?”

Adrian asked, facing Michelle, whose face was completely red.

“No… no.”

It’s not that I’m red because I’m broken.

“If you get angry, focus longer in the future.”

“…yes.”

In the end, Michelle had no choice but to sigh and sit down.

“Yes?”

But at that time, the resignation letter in Michelle’s hand slips out of her hand. Of course, it was Adrian who took it out.

“is it. Was it a letter of resignation? There must have been no reason to focus.”

“What, what are you saying!”

Michelle used telekinesis to hastily crumpled up the letter of resignation. So strong that it can never return to its original form.

“Withdrawal Oh, I won’t. Who is dropping out?”

Adrian just tilted his head as he watched Michelle, who reacted almost like a seizure. Of course, that made Michelle even more embarrassed.

“Then what is this?”

“Don’t you see? It’s paper trash.”

“Well, I got it. Do you need new materials?”

Oh right. The materials were also crumpled.

“All right, all right. Who sees these materials?”

“Do it yourself.”

Michelle stared intently at Adrian’s back, who turned around indifferently.

Not dropping out meant that I would stay in this class, whether I liked it or not. The label of failure was a fatal shame for Michelle.

But.

– Doesn’t it suit you perfectly?

There was no playfulness in Adrian’s whispered words. It was a seductive story that made my heart hurt a little.

One of the three things I hate most in the world is Adrian, but if I stay in the failing class, I’ll have to be the core under his command.

It’s all for Michelle’s own future. Because I never have any other thoughts. So…

“I will not drop out.”

The girl carefully straightened the crumpled material.

I couldn’t tell. Why does it feel like even a crumpled heart is being straightened out?

◈

The bell rang signaling the end of the lecture.

However, despite this, no students got up from their seats. Having escaped from the individual hallucinations the data showed, they were immersed in their own sentiments and were in a daze for a while.

‘I think I want to learn more.’

More than this seems unreasonable.

I was controlling my own blood to some extent by using the power of the Vampire Lord, but in fact, I was in a state of vomiting blood from earlier.

You need to find a way to replenish your life force. at the earliest possible time.

“Only Charlotte remains, everyone go back.”

I didn’t say that I was suffering. I did the hard work.

However, students do not leave the classroom. Come on. It’s called your favorite high school.

“Didn’t you hear? Everyone can go back.”

I don’t like to talk twice, but I had to say it twice. Looking at the behavior of the students, I wondered if they didn’t listen to me.

I even turned off all the hallucinations this time, wondering if there were any students who couldn’t hear them because they were hallucinating.

Students shuddered and rose from their seats. However, it still does not go out of the classroom.

Finally one started walking.

It was Isabel. But she walks over and stops in front of me.

“Hey… Thank you for today’s class.”

And then he suddenly lowers his head. After that, her sincere blue eyes turned to me.

“You don’t have to say that.”

“I don’t think I should just think about this. I thought I would just do self-study in the future. By the way… thank you.”

-Thank you for today’s class.

At the same time, the entire class bowed their heads to me.

Professors shouldn’t show embarrassment in front of students. I was a little perplexed without knowing it.

The eyes of the expectant students.

What is that, the eyes of the henchmen who followed me in the demon realm came to mind, and I gnawed my lips unconsciously.

“under.”

I snorted.

“Everyone pay attention.”

“?”

After greeting, all the students who were about to leave the classroom stand in their places.

“Looks like you guys are still less tough. I hate this.”

He put on a determined face.

“From now on, you will receive an innumerable amount of information, and you will cultivate to the point of death. Seeing that people are still saying thank you, it seems that everyone lacked learning.”

“……?”

“Everyone go back to your seats and study again. Will there be words of gratitude after completing all the studies? If you come out, then I will accept that greeting.”

“……???”

“Thirty pages of material. Until you memorize everything, don’t think about going back today.”

“????????????”

Aaaaaaah, the students screamed as they returned to their seats.

Their eyes were focused only on one person. Of course, this time it wasn’t looking at me.

– Isabel! Think about that in your heart ah~!!!

-No, you guys said hello too?!

– I’ll turn. How do you memorize all of this???

– I want to die. I want to die… .

However, while everyone was busy complaining, their bodies were sitting and unfolding data.

When one or two start to do so, everyone else starts to focus on learning again.

“I’ll stop by again to check later.”

Leaving one word behind, he quickly left the classroom.

Somehow I can’t keep watching. It’s because a strange feeling, subtly different from pain, that I haven’t felt in a very long time has risen somewhere in my heart.

– Mr. Jekyll. Does a world where demons and humans really live together exist?

– Shut up, you idiot. Jekyll is doing it.

A few stupid guys come to mind.

I couldn’t protect them until the end, I couldn’t even bring them the world I promised them yet.

But I saw the will from the students today. I also saw passion.

The talent of these guys is outstanding. Really, if you try to the end while avoiding the death flags.

Wouldn’t it really be something that one day he might bring the true ending he promised to his henchmen?

“stupid.”

Did you say that if you fight for me, you can get that world right away?

It was just for my retirement. It was to escape the demon realm. Did you still believe in me that much?

“Really… stupid.”

If he had just abandoned me, he would have been able to live the rest of his life in the Demon Realm. Even if this world were to perish at the hands of the Demon King, you would have remained victors.

It would have been a comfortable path for both body and mind. Didn’t you also have family and precious friends? But above all—

‘You mean you believed me?’

ha.

He let out a deep sigh. It hadn’t been a long time since I had such a heavy sigh.

‘I will never let your deaths be in vain.’

Now, for a while, it was time to look at the students in front of us, not the henchmen in the sky. Because these guys are the key to the true ending.

‘failure.’

Does saying you have no talent mean you have no dreams?

If the adjective “failure” is added, will the dreams and hopes that people harbor disappear?

‘no.’

You just have to compromise with reality to some extent. I know very well that I can only push the dream that has become more and more desperate and push it hard.

“…you will save the world.”

I will definitely save the world, and I will dream of it with my own heart.

Failing the project, looking at it now, isn’t it a pretty cool adjective to stick in front of the main character?

So you guys will never…

‘Don’t say thank you.’

Because I am grateful

Falling into this world, which is not the world I originally lived in, made me have a dream while leading the life of a demon leader.

I should be thanking you maybe.

“Ugh…”

I grabbed my heart and went to the bathroom. The blood he had been swallowing all this time spilled out into the toilet.

It’s not easy either. Exposing individual hallucinations to sixty-four people…

Since the main body is the body of a demon, there is a limit to using human mana. The method of using magic in exchange for life force was too familiar to me.

Okay.

As always, we will find a way this time. I will definitely find a means to fill my life force. So, they won’t stop dreaming.

After wiping the blood from his mouth, he looked up at the sky outside the window.

The full moon is exceptionally bright.

‘It’s today.’

This is the reason why I tried to keep only Charlotte in the first place. There are 6 death flags happening today.

There is still one remaining demonic assassin. And Christine the Vampire Queen.

From tonight, those two will go into action.
