I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Chapter 47

Beast King (1)

Selina, who came to the scheduled meeting place at the notice of the academic, couldn’t believe the sight unfolding before her eyes.

‘No… Who the hell made a group like this?’

At most, it was just an academy practice class, but if you look at the members, it wouldn’t be strange to go on an adventure to catch the demon king from now on.

“Selina. Are you this way too?”

Seeing Selina approaching, Carol greeted her first.

“Yes, how did Jo Won become like this?”

“I don’t know. I never thought there would be a class like this. Because of work, I was away from the bachelor’s degree.”

After hearing Carol’s words, something suddenly popped into Selina’s head.

In this class, it was basically a rule to form groups first and submit them.

But, perhaps because of Selina’s image of treating others like ice, everyone was afraid of even approaching her.

I just thought I’d take care of it and put it off, and the group was automatically formed.

The result is here…

Looking at it now, I had a strong feeling that I hadn’t applied separately.

This was what Selina felt.

A gathering of people who have no friends.

….

Suddenly, she felt miserable about her situation, but Selina gathered her mind again, wondering where even Carol was.

Actually, Selina’s prediction wasn’t wrong, but it was also close to a mistake by the school staff.

Originally, it would be inefficient to drive such a large number of people into one place.

Except for Carol, who had to follow with Princess Riena’s escort, they should have dispersed, but…

By the time the bachelor staff realized their mistake, the situation had already ended.

The result of burying one’s faults with the attitude that good is good.

It had come this far.

“hahahaha! It is good to see many familiar brothers.”

“Hello, Maximilian.”

There was a monk with a big smile and a warrior with a greatsword.

Two women sticking right next to Carol.

‘That’s more than a disciple… no.’

Selina shook her head, denying the momentary impure imagination.

Both of them were looking at Selina with strangely wary eyes.

I thought about it, wondering if I had made a mistake, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out anything.

“Mum. Everyone please gather here! I will explain the contents of the practice.”

Darlene raised his wand and stirred it, drawing a map of light in the air.

“Our destination is a place called Hafen Canyon around here.”

“If it’s Hafen Gorge, it’s about a three-day carriage ride from here. I know it’s not a place for students to go.”

Carol, who was next to her, helped with a word. The Hafen Gorge was one of the dangerous areas on the continent. Prohibition where a number of anomalies occurred, but the cause was not properly identified. It was too dangerous a place for only freshmen in the academy to go.

“Yes, you know. Of course, we don’t go all the way into the canyon. I’ll just deal with a few monsters outside and return to the academy. Hafen Gorge is forbidden, but it is also a place that humans must overcome someday. Just seeing it with your own eyes will be a great motivation.”

“That would be fine. What kind of monsters are there?”

“That is still unknown.”

Of course, Professor Darlene knew what kind of monster it was. However, the purpose of the practice class was to see the students’ responses in sudden situations, so they pretended not to know.

“Did you hear the message beforehand?”

“yes. I have been guided.”

“Then we will depart. Oh, and Her Highness’ party is going this way.”

Professor Darlene led the four of them, except for Maximilian and Stella, in front of a huge steel carriage.

“This… is speechless?”

Selina looked around curiously at the carriage.

“yes. It is a prototype of a wagon that was completed after painstaking joint research by the Faculty of Magic and Research Faculties led by Dean Amelia. Equipped with a magic furnace powered by mana, there is no need for words. The safety verification itself has been thoroughly completed, so you can ride with confidence.”

“Can you wait a moment?”

“Yes, as much as you like.”

After looking around the wagon, Selina asked the professor, and quickly began to write something down on a piece of paper with the magic quill she often used in the library.

“This….”

Carol also crossed her arms beside Selina and looked at the carriage with an interesting look.

“It’s all done!”

Finally, Selina summoned three owls, each told a message and sent them off.

* * *

What kind of situation is this…

As they rode in the carriage, Selina pulled the cannabis book to her chest and held it tight, resting her chin on it and staring straight ahead in thought.

‘No matter how you think about it, this is more than a disciple…’

Although Selina’s cool-headed reason and brain combined and analyzed the situation in real time.

You shouldn’t have such disturbing thoughts against Her Highness, the princess.

I judged that and sealed the possibility that I had worked hard to come up with by putting it deep inside.

This wagon, the masterpiece of Dean Amelia, has all the features that can be inserted.

From space expansion to temperature control, noise and vibration prevention to even the smallest details like air purification.

It could be seen that Amelia Dean, who had been experimenting for a long time, was born by hitting all kinds of magic.

The structure itself was the same as that of a regular wagon, and the chairs on either side boasted enough space for four people to sit on each.

‘Still, if there are four of us on board, don’t we share the seats by two?’

Can you see the three of them naturally sitting on the opposite side of Selina, who was sitting alone in a seat, with Carol at the center?

Curiosity that shouldn’t be harbored was about to soar.

Princess Riena pretended to look out the window, but her head gradually turned around and she looked at Carol, then she looked back in amazement.

Yulia, on the other side, was staring straight ahead, holding the sword so tightly that her veins were bulging out. as if nervous.

Apart from the reactions of the dynamic women, Carol in the center was only turning over a stack of papers with a serious expression.

While riding in the carriage, a falcon approached and threw a huge bundle of papers at Carol, and it continued like that after that.

No matter how I look at it, I can’t stand this. Thinking about that, Selina finally made up her mind.

“There are a lot of seats here, so why should the three of us sit there? It would be more convenient for one person to come this way.”

The first to react to those words was Yulia.

“It is only natural that my… disciple stays by the teacher’s side. But Lord Selina has a point. Master may be uncomfortable. Let me relocate. Good point, thank you.”

face turned red.

Yulia, who finished her words as quickly as a clumsy actor reading a script, jumped up and immediately went to sit next to Selina.

“I don’t care.”

Carol said calmly, not taking her eyes off the document.

‘That side was the problem.’

The feelings the disciples had for the teacher and the feelings the teacher had for the disciple were completely different.

enough to draw a perfectly parallel line.

Although Selina realized that right away.

He didn’t even have the slightest thought of helping Princess Riena or Yulia.

Although Selina herself did not understand why she felt that way.

In any case, Selina decided to just watch.

“I like this better.”

Princess Riena, who had been pretending to look out the window, looked to the side with a haughty tone and said,

“…”

While the three women are engaged in a war of nerves.

Carol’s interest was elsewhere.

Right before leaving, the result of requesting information about the Hafen Gorge from the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service.

It was written that the energy sensed inside had suddenly become unstable.

Apparently, it’s a recent thing, so it seems that the undergraduate side hasn’t come across any information yet…

Should I stop this now, I thought.

‘I don’t think it’s necessary.’

The people who were going that way were able to protect at least one of their bodies.

Even Princess Riena and Yulia needed actual combat.

And most of all, it would be hard to find a place that was as safe as the side of Carol, who had reached the end of the demise, even on all continents.

Carol made up her mind with the feeling that she would crush everything that came her way.

* * *

Clap.

In the middle of a desolate plain.

Using the two wagons as a shade, a bonfire burned peacefully.

On the way to Hafen Gorge, there were no proper villages, so we had to camp in the end.

Camping seems strangely romantic, but in reality it was quite painful.

At least thanks to the presence of magic, Professor Darlene skillfully prepared.

The water spirit Selina summoned supplied drinking water even in the middle of the wasteland.

It was a shame because he kept his body clean, otherwise there was a high possibility that there would be people who would suffer considerably.

“Why did the master bother to stay in an inn before, now I think I know the reason…”

The same goes for Princess Riena, who is talking like this with a sigh.

Selina and Yulia also grew up well in the same family, so their expressions weren’t very good.

“But why does Master look so calm? Noble boy… No, if you were Bernstein, you would have grown up close to royalty.”

“I know. No matter how you look at it, our master is not a criminal. Do you teach camping skills at Bernstein?”

“It is clear that it cannot be.”

“That’s what I know, but…”

As soon as the camp was decided, Carol skillfully took out the tools from the wagon and got ready faster than anyone else.

I was helping Professor Darlene cook.

“Did you know my master could cook?”

“I was the first to know. What can Master not do?”

“Reading women’s hearts?”

“…yes?”

“Ah… no. I’m out of words.”

Yulia turned her head and pretended not to hear what Princess Riena said in an instant.

In my heart, I quietly agree.

“I’m sorry, brother. I didn’t know that I had to cook for camping. I thought boochlum and beef jerky would be enough.”

“I thought so too… I’m sorry.”

Stella and Maximilian, who seemed to be good at this kind of thing, were surprisingly clumsy themselves.

In the end, I sat down and reflected on myself like a sack of barley I had borrowed.

“Princess Karl is surprisingly good at cooking, isn’t he?”

Professor Darlene looked at Carol with admiration.

When he was in despair at Stella and Maximillian, who knew nothing about noble women who had grown up and eradicated the existence of demons.

Carol’s existence was like a ray of salvation for Professor Darlene.

Of course, practice is not accompanied by an attendant, so I expected that the first year, still a new chick, would need a professor’s touch.

With Princess Riena present, it was a situation that could not be taken lightly.

I was deeply grateful to Carol, thinking that I would have almost become a slave rather than a professor if I had been aloof.

“Yes, there were times when I had to do it.”

“Bernstein is a great family…”

Professor Darlene looked at Carol uncomfortably and said,

To that gaze, Carol quietly moved the cleaver without answering. It was impossible to talk about what happened in Moorim.

* * *

After dinner, everyone goes to sleep.

On the ground where darkness fell, I sat in a simple chair and put firewood into the bonfire.

Someone had to set boundaries.

If there is no light in a plain like this, troublesome beings are bound to be summoned, so I had to manage the fire.

After exchanging opinions for a while, I decided to do it.

It is safe to say that the state of complete Talmajikyung was that I could easily maintain a mind like that of a beautiful scenery index for a month even without sleeping, and there was virtually no one to avoid my feelings.

Looking at the blazing fire like this, I was bound to suddenly think of things from the past.

Things like work in Moorim where camping was a daily life.

They say that if you think of the past instead of the future, it is proof of getting old. What boundary am I standing on?

It was such an ambiguous feeling.

“…Master?”

After watching the shimmering flames for a while, Yulia, who had woken up, approached with a disheveled appearance.

Her hair, which was normally neatly styled, was undone and hung down long, and she sat down in an empty chair right next to me, wearing only a thin nightgown.

“No more sleep. It’s still midnight.”

“I see… It’s been a long night.”

Yulia said with her eyes half closed, staring up at the sky where the Milky Way stretched out.

“Master, aren’t you sleeping?”

“Once you reach the stage, you don’t have to sleep for a while.”

“Wow… When will I ever get to that level…”

Perhaps it was because she was asleep, Yulia spat out an honest exclamation that was hard to hear normally.

“If you practice steadily, it will be possible, so don’t be too impatient. There are some things you can only see after putting them down a little.”

If I, too, had impatiently looked only at a high level, cut off all ties, and practiced alone, I would still be far from reaching the Talmaji.

Receiving a disciple with the thought of going back a little further hastened the arrival of Talma.

After all, enlightenment doesn’t come by being obsessed with it.

Sometimes what seems slow at first glance may be the answer.

“I’m not quite sure what you mean yet… I’ll always keep that in mind.”

Yulia stared blankly at the flickering bonfire, blinking blankly.

Seeing that, I poured lemon tea into the pre-heated water and handed it to Yulia.

“…Master?”

“It is lemon tea marinated in honey that is good to eat while camping. Of course, you don’t need that much for a short trip like this. Still, it would be more comfortable if I had a drink and went to sleep.”

“…thank you.”

“Resting is also a form of training, so drink and sleep more.”

“yes….”

Yulia, who was quietly sipping while holding a cup with both hands, eventually tilted her side head toward my shoulder and began to doze off.

“…”

I was going to wake you up

I decided not to.

it’ll be fine for a while

Like that, Yulia slept soundly next to me, then got up and disappeared with a quick stride, startled even more by the light of the rising sunrise.

* * *

For a while, I was riding a carriage on a road lined with small hills.

“hahahaha! If you give up everything you have, I will spare your life!”

Something that looked like bandits of green forest blocked our path and shouted. No matter which world you go to, if you see similar things from how they look to what they do…

As expected, it seemed that people were thinking there.

“Is there really something like that? Dressing up is like a puppet show.”

Princess Riena looked at the bandits with interest with an expression that showed no sign of tension.

“Shall I step out?”

The moment Yulia grabs the sword and is about to leave.

“Huh!”

With a loud shout, Stella struck the men with the side of her greatsword and knocked them down.

“That… is alive, right?”

Selina was rather worried about the bandits.

With Stella’s performance, the men were subdued in an instant.

“Uh… where are you going?”

When we said our destination, the man on his knees trembled and asked.
