Chapter II: Demon King Academy

It had been a month since Anos came to this world, he had spent most of his time studying the changes in this world and to his surprise, this world was clearly not his world.

This was too strange, there was no sign of the hero Canon destroying the demon king in the past, he had researched and learned that this world did not have anything called humans, the demon world in this place only had demons of all different shapes, although in the old world there were also a few demons of all shapes but to have so many like this was clearly not normal.

Here there was also something called magic and spells but the way they were used was completely different from the way Anos knew how to use magic.

-Hmm, it seems this place is not my world.

-It's obvious that after more than 200 years, I should be reborn in another body, not transported.

-Could it be that something went wrong?

Anos noticed a name in the book.

-Demon King Derkila?

Little is known about Derkila other than that he was the Demon King a few hundred years ago but has now mysteriously disappeared. It is said that Derkila once stopped a war in the Death Square by using his body to catch all the weapons, not letting any demons be injured except himself.

-So there's a demon king here too, but he disappeared...

-Demon King Academy?

What Anos paid more attention to was a piece of information about the Demon King's apprenticeship for demons throughout this demon world.

The name of the school was Babyls

This famous academy trained students of low and high status in the demon clans, facilitating their fate by increasing or decreasing their demon rank while they were in the school.

-Interesting.

Anos began to take an interest in this school, in the old world there was obviously no such thing.

-Then it seems... I should go there and take a look?

The next morning.

It seemed to be quite a magnificent place, Babyls was located on top of a giant cliff, the surroundings looked very much like strange mountains. There were many towers inside the academy, and some pointed buildings scattered around. There was also a fence surrounding it, but the outer walls of the school were tall enough to be considered a barrier from the outside. Babyls could be reached by air, or just by walking and entering through a large gate in the middle, which was probably the only entrance to the school.

At first, when he asked for permission to study here, Anos's parents refused because they thought their little child was not old enough to take care of himself, Anos just sighed and used <Kurst> to make himself bigger and told them that he would still return home because the school didn't have anything called a dormitory, and his parents agreed.

Anos looked up into the sky and saw many demons flying in the air with their wings.

-Is there no magic similar to <Fless> in this world?

Anos continued walking towards the school, but he stopped because he felt two large sources of magical power, he turned to the right and saw three people, none other than Sullivan, Opera and Iruma taking pictures for the entrance ceremony.

*click*

-Yaaa, I'm so happy!

Sullivan in his chibi form danced around Opera.

-My nephew's entrance ceremony!

-His future will be bright.

Anos didn't care anymore and continued walking to school.

-By the way, your name is Opera, right?

-Which way is the school?

-Over there.

Opera pointed towards the school and made Iruma overwhelmed by the magnificence and size of the school.

-Wow, it's so big!

Iruma looked up into the sky and saw other students flying towards the school.

-This is the Devil School-Babyls

There are many demons here, Anos exclaimed in his mind, with the plural form being similar to humans but the bloodline being pureblood, Anos also found it quite strange, in his old place, pureblood demons were all destroyed by the hero Canon and the humans.

-Hmm, there are humans?

Anos also saw something strange here, no mana?

He looked around and saw Iruma.

-no mana?

-Is this kid human?

Sullivan told Iruma that he was busy with something so he let him go into the school alone.

-Hey you

A member of the student council called out to Iruma.

-C-call me?

Iruma immediately thought of the advantage Sullivan had said "as long as you don't tell the secret, you won't be eaten".

-I'm going to be eaten!

Iruma's mind screamed but it was cut off when the older brother spoke.

-The auditorium is over here?

He pointed to the right.

-Ah, um thank you.

Iruma ran to the right.

-Thank goodness, the fact that I'm human wasn't revealed.

Anos was watching Iruma when he had to block an axe that was coming towards him.

-Hoh, you want to fight?

Anos looked behind him and saw a tall boy swinging the axe towards him.

-What do you want?

-What do you want, of course I want to fight before the entrance ceremony!

He kicked him but he was only pushed back a few meters.

-Fight, do you think you can beat me?

-How arrogant, state your name.

-Anos Voldigoad, what about you, warrior.

-My name is Sabro, Sabnock Sabro!

Sabro spoke in a strong voice, the power he exuded made Anos not very impressed.

-If you want to fight me, then train for another 100 years.

-Are you looking down on me?!

-I'm not, but I'm sure of it.

Sabro sneered and immediately swung an axe at Anos but he blocked it with one finger

-That's all you got?

-Huh!

Sabro tried to use more strength but he still couldn't make Anos move.

-Hey you two, what are you doing?!

A teacher appeared and stopped the fight between Sabro and Anos.

When Anos saw the teacher, he just removed his finger and walked away.

-Hey, this isn't over yet!

Sabro tried to grab Anos's shoulder but he used <Gatom> to teleport into the auditorium and left Sabro there with the teacher.

-What a troublesome brat.

Anos sat down on a nearby chair, next to... Iruma...

-Hmm.

Anos looked over and saw Iruma.

-Hey, does that smell delicious?

A demon with the head of a bull and the face of a horse said.

-Huh, really?

The demon beside him asked.

Iruma was scared and sat back, Anos felt that it seemed like this kid was trying to keep the demons from finding out that Iruma was a human.

-Silence.

A teacher with a serious look said to the students who were bustling below and they immediately quieted down, another teacher stepped forward.

-Ahem, thank you for coming.

-It's 6:06 now, the opening ceremony of the devil school will begin, everyone stand up.

-Start singing the school song.

Anos and Iruma were about to sing too, but they immediately stopped when they heard the song.

Humans, they are loved
For after all, they taste so good
Draining blood and
plasma Flesh and marrow, all their brood

May the sound of our mighty wings as we fly
Bring you fear
Bow to us, we are demons
In your nightmares, we appear

When we sing this song from our red lips
Now you know
Shout for us, we are demons
And you will all go to hell

Humans exist only to feed
us Draining soul, blood, flesh and all
Trembling at the sound of our black wings as we fly
For we are demons

When this song pours from our red lips
Shout for us, we are demons

Our castle is the greatest evil
Its name is Babyls, a lonely place to study
Sacrifice souls our souls, blood and flesh without leaving anything behind
We will aim for the top of the demons

Both Iruma and Anos were silent, Iruma found this song very creepy, it made him more afraid of what the demons here would do if they knew he was a human? Anos found this song more silly than brutal, so he didn't sing.

-And then the principal's speech.

The students immediately started to make a fuss, Principal Sullivan was a famous person because he was one of the demon king's subordinates.

-Iruma-Kun, it's Oji-chan~

-(So he's the principal!).

Iruma screamed in his heart while Anos realized that the person standing on the podium was the person with the extremely high mana that Anos saw earlier.

-Iruma?

-Is that the principal's nephew's name?

The students below wondered.

-That's right~

-My nephew studies here too~

-He's so cute~

-(Please don't say anything weird again)

-I even took a picture with him~

-(You're already showing your face!)

-If you want it, I'll give it to you later.

-(Who would want that!)

-Then I've already said what I wanted to say, so let's say goodbye now.

Sullivan ran off after he finished speaking.

-Next is the speech for the representative of the freshmen.

A white-haired guy stood up and immediately made the girls scream, because he was handsome.

-The representative of the freshmen, Asmodeus-Kun.

The guy slowly walked up to the podium.

-Phew, luckily they turned their attention elsewhere.

-IN PLACE OF THE FRESHMAN REPRESENTATIVE...ASMODEUS-KUN LET THE HONOR STUDENT IRUMA-KUN GO ON STAGE TO SPEAK.

-...

-...

-WHY?!

-Wait...could it be...

Iruma looked to his right and saw Mr. Sullivan holding a camera and giving him a thumbs up.

-Gahhhh, I knew it was him.

Iruma had no choice but to reluctantly step up to the podium, Asmodeus standing to the side looked annoyed, and Anos...well, he probably didn't care.

-Wow, that's Iruma?

-He looks so weak.

-But seeing how calm he is, he must be very strong.

-Of course, he is the principal's nephew.

-He stood in front of thousands of people like this without even shaking.

The students below kept talking about Iruma while he was silent and scared.

-Everything happened so suddenly, I couldn't move even a Millimeter!

-Ah, can you read the speech quickly?

-What speech... I don't have anything to read.

While Iruma was still hesitating, the paper behind him fell down and flipped over, behind it was a message from Mr. Sullivan "I give you these sentences in the hope that your school life will not be hindered when you encounter difficulties, I love you Oji-chan".

-Huh... S-so I have to read these words...

-...but there's no other way?

Iruma took a deep breath and started reading the sentences on the paper.

-Aberuhauke.

As soon as the first word was uttered, the entire hall immediately began to tremble in fear.

-Torutodari

-Iusubeube

-Strange...why do I feel like...space is distorting...

-Sutomanu

-Aberuge

-Uru Mahoraga.

-Tsure zaza...

After seeing Iruma finish reading, the students fell silent, then they all screamed, not out of fear, but admiration, that was what Anos felt.

-W-what's going on?

While Iruma was still wondering what was happening, a teacher approached him and asked.

-Hey Iruma, why did you recite the forbidden spell?!

-Huh...the forbidden spell?

-If you read even one word wrong, your limbs will explode!

Iruma's soul was blown out of him when he heard that, he didn't think that the sentence just now was some kind of forbidden spell.

-Oh but...what was that spell just now?

-Oh, if you want to know, it's a spell that prevents you from falling or tripping.

-Huh...

Iruma was shocked.

-So...sacrificing your life...just to keep yourself from tripping...

-Yeah...

-...

-...

-...oh my god.

The crowd below was all talking about what Iruma had just done, except for one person.

Anos looked towards the white-haired boy and saw that he was looking at Iruma with an angry expression, from the perspective of an old man who had lived for hundreds of years, it was clear that a fight was about to break out.

It was obvious.

In the school grounds, Iruma was sitting on a bench and sighing, thinking about what he had just gone through, he picked up the paper from earlier and looked at it.

-Even though I know he didn't mean any harm... but doing that... isn't good at all...

While Iruma was still thinking, someone sat next to him.

-So that was the paper from earlier?

Iruma was surprised and looked to the side, it was a young man with black hair, black and red eyes and quite handsome, wearing a white uniform, including a black shirt, white jacket and pants, and a badge with a cross on it, he also wore white pants, a black belt and a metal chain, yeah, it was none other than Anos Voldigoad.

Iruma was startled and stepped back.

-Are you afraid? I won't eat you, Iruma, or should I say... human?

Iruma's heart skipped a beat after hearing that. How could he know? Didn't Mr. Sullivan pour the smell of a demon on him?!

-Don't be so nervous.

Anos reassured him.

-How did you know I was a human?!

Anos looked at Iruma who was shivering and said.

-Your mana is 0. Although humans can still have mana, it's low if you're not a warrior. That clearly proves that you're a human. Moreover, I can identify the origin of humans and demons.

Iruma was even more afraid. He didn't care much about things like origin or magical perception. What he was thinking about was fear. Seeing that, Anos immediately reassured him.

-Hey, look, I just came here and wanted to know why someone like you is here, okay.

Iruman heard that and calmed down a bit and asked.

-So you won't eat me?

-Fumu, are you making fun of me, I'm not like those pig-brains.

Iruman heard that and calmed down a lot.

-So you want to know why I'm here?

Anos nodded.

-But...

-If you still don't trust me.

Anos cast the magic <Zecht>, a magic circle appeared in front of Iruma.

What is this?

-This is a contract magic, <Zecht>, it is a magic used to keep a promise to another person, breaking the contract will cause one's source to self-destruct. If there is a large enough gap in the magical power of the participants, <Zecht> can be unilaterally eliminated without consequences.

-I will use this to promise you that I only want to hear the reason why you came here.

Anos said and looked at Iruma, and Iruma was even more confused than when he read the incantation just now.

-Now now, I'm telling you the truth, I even used <Zecht> magic.

Iru hesitated for a moment.

-Alright, I'll tell you, turn off that magic.

Anos smiled and snapped his fingers, the <Zecht> magic immediately disappeared.

Iruma started to tell, about his past, about when Mr. Sullivan brought him down here and when he started going to school, Anos listened seriously.

-So...he brought you down here because he wanted a grandchild?

-Yes.

-But instead of refusing, you agreed because you felt sorry for him.

-Yes.

-Well...

-I don't know what his reason was.

-Maybe because he felt sorry for you.

-Huh?

-Well let's see, your family is a bad family, they don't care about you but force you to earn money for them, in my opinion Sullivan saw your pitiful situation so he decided to bring you down here and adopt you as his grandchild, he wanted to give you a real family.

-Really?

Anos shrugged, that was just his theory, he could read Sullivan's mind but then what's the fun in that.

-Anos Voldigoad.

-Huh?

-My name is Anos Voldigoad, what's your full name, Iruma?

-Ah, um, Iruma Suzuki.

While the two were introducing themselves, a flaming arrow flew towards the two of them but Anos saw it and blinked, blowing the arrow out.

-You neutralized my flame.

Anos and Iruma looked towards the voice and found out that the owner of the arrow was Asmodeus.

-You're the one from earlier.

-What did you do to my arrow, you bastard?

Anos only sneered when he heard Asmodeus say that.

-An arrow, I only saw it as a match.

Asmodeus frowned slightly upon hearing that.

-I'll deal with you later, state your name.

-Anos Voldigoad.

-Alright Anos Voldigoad, I'll deal with you after dealing with that Iruma guy.

-Huh?!

Iruma was startled after hearing Asmodeus' words.

-Iruma Suzuki, that magnificent place should be mine, I should be the one speaking...let's duel, let's see who's stronger between you and me!
