How To Survive at the Demon Academy

The name that came out of Ricardo’s mouth.

I wondered, but it was the same.

‘Even though I expected it to some degree from the first time I heard about it.’

Objectively, there are few people who can be said to be above me, both seniors and freshmen.

It’s not that there’s a possibility that hidden strongmen exist, but from what we’ve figured out so far, Lucifer is the only situation.

To get closer to the goal faster than me, it was possible to be as good as Lucifer.

‘It must be fun.’

After the seniors returned to Demonic, I encountered quite a few seniors.

However, he had never met Lucifer, the student council president.

Lucifer and I weren’t going to visit each other to say hello, so the opportunity didn’t arise.

But I never thought I’d be competing in a dungeon like this.

‘I’m a little excited.’

The existence that Esca praised so much.

At the same time, he is a person who even warns you to be careful.

Even the lineage of the Great Demon King like me.

It was great in many ways.

“That guy is also waiting to meet Endmion-nim. Who will get the chance first… It will be something he will choose.”

I followed Reikart into the depths of the cave.

The scenery that comes into the eyes after passing through the dark passage and coming out into the bright place.

A few small tables and chairs.

Then I saw someone sitting on a chair.

“There you are.”

A black-haired man drinking tea in a leisurely manner.

At first glance, it gave off an unusual atmosphere.

‘Lucipel Krause.’

I could find out his identity even without talking to him.

“I will come to see Endmion. Please wait here.”

“All right.”

Ricardo leaves me alone and disappears inside.

Soon, an uncomfortable silence fell around.

Dalgrak.

The sound of the teacup being set down echoed through the room.

“Why don’t you sit here instead of standing there?”

Lucifer naturally invites you to sit down as if it were your own home.

There was no trace of tension on his face.

“I will.”

I sat down in a chair naturally.

Lucifer smiles as he sees me like that.

“I think you already know, but let me introduce you anyway. My name is Lucifer Krause.”

“This is Kyler Diablick.”

“I thought we’d meet someday, but I never thought we’d meet like this.”

Me too.

It happened when the method of the sports meeting was changed in the middle.

“It seems like it will take some time to meet Endmion anyway, so why don’t we talk for a while?”

“All right.”

Lucifer looked at me and asked

“Esca complimented me a lot.”

“Is that so?”

“We talked a lot about you, probably because we had a relationship in the past.”

“I’ve heard a lot about it too.”

At my words, Lucifer smiled.

“Then the conversation will be quick. What do you think of the student council?”

“It’s the student council… .”

Actually, I have no idea.

To be honest, I’m not interested.

According to Esca, it was a group that could be seen as a kind of personal guard that Lucifer created by gathering talented people who followed him.

And I know he has an idea of getting me into the student council.

“I have heard the story several times. That’s all.”

“Hmm… okay?”

Lucifer said, supporting his chin with both hands.

“Are you thinking of joining the student council?”

“Not now.”

Lucifer laughed at my firm words.

“Your mind can change at any time, so I won’t rush you. Then let’s move on to another story.”

In an instant, Lucifer’s mood changed.

If a little while ago it was light and playful, now.

‘It’s heavy.’

It’s not just the atmosphere, it really feels like the air around you is getting heavy.

It was a change caused by the momentum emitted by Lucifer.

‘Are you going to try a skill event?’

I, too, quietly raised demons and dealt with the pressure.

At the same time, I checked Lucifer’s status window.

‘This… .’

A hologram appeared before my eyes.

The contents in it were far beyond my expectations.

* * *

◆ Name: Lucifer Krause

◆ Age: 19 years old

◆ Stats: Strength (1595) Agility (1623) Magi (1736) Endurance (1576)

‘this… Is it real?’

I also suspected that an error had occurred in the unbelievable numbers.

But I know better than anyone that that will never happen.

If so, that number is the exact ability of Lucifer.

‘I expected it to be strong, but.’

This is a figure far beyond expectations.

It’s not that there hasn’t been a stronger opponent than me so far.

But at least they are beings who have lived much longer than me.

There was no existence with such an overwhelming difference among my peers.

‘He’s not even a few years older than me.’

The age difference between me and Lucifer is 1 year.

Lucifer entered Demonic about two years earlier.

It would be strange if there was no difference, but it was too much.

‘If the conditions are similar, then the power of time cannot be ignored.’

Compared to me, his abilities were at least 600 and at most 700.

It was a situation where I couldn’t help but be shocked.

‘At this rate, even among the professors, there might not be anyone who can beat Lucifer.’

Because among the professors I knew, there was no one stronger than Lucifer.

Then I heard words that further confuse my complicated mind.

“Kyler Diablick. What do you think the purpose of the demonics was?”

“A purpose? that’s it… .”

I tried to say something, but the words didn’t come out.

The purpose of the demonic.

I honestly don’t know.

A typical academy can be said to be a place where many things are taught.

However, this demonic does not teach the students.

It just makes you get used to fighting and makes you have various experiences.

‘In Earth, I had a chance to use what I learned at the academy, but it’s different here.’

On Earth, education at the academy was essential because they had to deal with monsters in dungeons and gates.

However, this Demon Realm was relatively less like that.

Because there was no existence that threatened the world.

They share forces and fight with each other, but there is no enemy to deal with in common.

“I don’t know.”

At my words, Lucifer burst into laughter.

“Haha, I understand. Because I was like that at first too. Until you know the truth.”

“If it is true… .”

Lucifer with the expression that he knows something.

Amazing words came out of his mouth.

“Simple. This demonic is a place created with the purpose of promoting another dimension beyond the realm of demons.”

“A different dimension?”

“okay. Other dimensions, including Arkenia, the spirit realm, and even a place called Earth where there is not much information yet.”

It was a surprising fact.

I thought it was just to instill continuous fighting in the students, but I never thought it had such a purpose.

“How did you find out about that?”

“I found out by accident. I overheard the conversation between Veigar and the other professors.”

To be honest, it’s hard to believe completely.

Seeing my expression, Lucifer laughed lightly.

“If you don’t want to believe it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it. But everything I say is true.”

I don’t think Lucifer would bother to lie to me.

There was no benefit to him by lying about the reason for Demonic’s existence.

‘If it’s true, I think I know the reason for pushing us into the magic dungeon.’

It seemed like they were trying to adapt by having them experience various worlds and situations that they couldn’t experience directly.

If so, now there is only one problem.

Why are you telling me this?

“It is very surprising. But why are you telling me about it?”

“Because it is clear that you will walk the same path as me.”

“What is that… .”

Lucifer slowly rose from his seat.

and came in front of me

“You and my father are the absolutes of the demon realm. And we are aware of each other.”

“I am well aware of it.”

“There is a high probability that we will live a similar life. Following in the footsteps of their fathers, they will become absolutes, and they will keep each other in check. By the way… .”

A meaningful smile formed on Lucifer’s lips.

“I’m not going to be satisfied with that.”

“What do you want to say?”

“I think Demonic’s reason for existence is positive. Warriors of the Demon Realm that stretch to another dimension. Because it’s cool.”

Lucifer’s eyes shine bleakly.

At the same time, the pressure I felt a moment ago was directed at me again.

“However, I think there is a limit in the end if we do not unite the power of the demon world.”

“It must not be easy.”

There are 5 absolutes in this demon realm.

I don’t know, but their power doesn’t make a big difference.

And we’re not close enough to work together.

“It is not easy. For now. But it is different after I have fully grown up.”

Confident statement.

I think I vaguely understand the meaning of Lucifer’s words.

‘Are you aiming for the absolute leader of the next generation?’

When the current great demon kings grow old and weak and step back, our time will surely come.

At that time, it seemed like the idea of becoming the absolute of all demons and gathering all the power to aim at another dimension.

“I think it might still be in the very distant future.”

“That is also true. But there is nothing wrong with setting goals in advance.”

To be honest, it doesn’t make much sense to me.

I just thought of adapting to this demonic and continuing to become stronger, but suddenly I am the absolute ruler of the demon realm. Conquering another dimension?

It seems like a bit of a middle school goal.

‘But it’s embarrassing because there’s no zero reality.’

It would be a matter of how long it would take, but with Lucifer’s skills and background, it was a story with enough potential.

“It would be nice if you and I joined forces. That doesn’t sound like fun. How are you?”

Lucifer’s confident face.

Depending on my answer, I think my relationship with him will change in the future.

And my answer is.

“I also have no intention of falling behind someone.”

“Hahaha!”

Lucifer bursts into laughter at my words.

The magic inside it resonated with the surrounding space.

“Yeah, that’s how it should be. I was honestly worried. What should I do if you bow your head ahead of time?”

Lucifer wasn’t displeased with my words, but his expression was delighted.

From his point of view, who had no rivals, it seems that he is rather pleased with me standing against him.

“Try it. From within Demonic at a small scale to the whole of the Pandemonium at a large scale. Grow your power.”

“Until now, I wasn’t interested, but I think it will be different in the future.”

“At least I have no intention of doing anything cowardly. That’s an insult to you and me. Do your best to block me too.”

A more positive response than expected.

I was a little worried after hearing Esca’s words, but he doesn’t seem like such a bad guy when you look at the minimum line.

‘But it’s clear that I’m the one I have to overcome in the future.’

What would the original Kyler Diablick be like?

Probably not different from me.

The most important thing for Kyler Diablok is not to tarnish the name of his father, Diablo.

And it was to act like the son of the Great Demon King.

It was not appropriate to give up before even starting and kneel before the opponent.

“I won’t have to compete with you right now, but I’ll look forward to it later.”

Lucifer reached out to me.

I said holding her hand.

“Obviously you are stronger than me now. But in time it will be different.”

The moment the conversation ends.

“Endmion-sama has allowed us to meet.”

Ricardo, who had gone inside, returned again.

“Is that so?”

“okay. By the way… .”

Ricardo looks at me and Lucifer with strange eyes.

Unexpected words came out of his mouth.

“He said he would only meet one of them. And to have that qualification, I will fight and win.”

This is a bit difficult.
