The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy
chapter-46-2

Was it speaking to me?

No matter how much I looked around, there were no other living beings in this cavity besides me.

Furthermore, there could be no other blood relative of Arsene besides me, so it must have been speaking to me.

Although I was still overcome with confusion, I quickly calmed myself and replied to the skeleton’s words.

“I shall listen.”

Then the skeleton continued to speak.

【If you can hear the thoughts of the Left, then you must have the same karma as me.】

I focused on the word ‘thoughts’.

The skeleton had not come back to life, but rather had left behind remnants of its memories.

That was why it could not hear me speak.

I decided to simply listen to the skeleton’s words in silence.

【Descendant of the Left who harbors chaos, do not be consumed by chaos.】

And my expression hardened at the skeleton’s next words.

The skeleton seemed to know what chaos was.

【Chaos is a power that distorts the rules of the world. Remember not to be consumed by it; if you focus only on meaning, you will meet the same end as the Left.】

I wanted to hear a more detailed explanation about chaos, but…

……

The Arsene symbol that had appeared behind the skeleton's back disappeared, and the rapidly beating heart also turned gray.

Flutter-.

Soon, its heart shattered and fell.

I realized that I would not be able to obtain any more information.

‘So, let me summarize.’

The Demon World’s traitor was Arsene’s ancestor.

And it also possessed the chaos attribute.

‘This is crazy.’

My head throbbed from the sudden influx of information.

Still, there was one thing I had gained.

The chaos attribute.

I had found a clue about it.

……And that I had to hide the Arsene family’s symbol even more securely.

I quickly used my darkness attribute to darken the nape of my neck even more.

This should be enough to put me at ease.

‘Is there nothing else I can gain?’

Greedily, I searched every nook and cranny of the cavity, but I realized that there was nothing left.

Well, it would be excessive to try to gain any more benefits here.

So it was time for me to leave.

‘It was hard enough coming here.’

It would be even harder to leave.

Jeez.

I sighed so deeply that the ground shook, and turned to leave.

Since the unexpected development had delayed me, I needed to hurry.

* * *

I managed to escape the underground passage safely.

‘My whole body is aching…….’

I patted my back.

It wasn’t difficult to get out of the pond, but it was hard to climb back up the cliff.

The ceiling rotated again when I raised my hand.

After I came up to the ground like that.

I switched clothes and places with a prisoner who was grumbling at the warden.

The moment I joined the group.

- You bastard, are you trying to trick me again?!

An angry voice rang out.

The warden was yelling at the prisoner who had become naked again.

But it wasn’t my business.

‘Fortunately, I’m not late.’

I naturally blended in with the students and looked around.

Before I knew it, Orgon, where the training had ended, was cleaner than I thought.

It was possible because the wardens were disposing of the bodies immediately.

Thanks to this, the surveillance of the underground passage seemed to be less than I thought.

But there was a student who noticed my absence.

“What were you doing?”

“……Let’s just say I went for a walk.”

Fron narrowed her eyes and questioned me.

Fron snorted when I tried to dismiss it as nothing.

“Are you saying you went for a walk in this place?”

“I rather liked the sight of humans filling up the iron bars.”

“Ha, stop talking nonsense.”

Fron shook her head.

I just shrugged my shoulders.

By the way, where is Luna?

I had put Luna, who had fallen asleep trying to enter the underground passage, down on the wall.

Ah, there she is.

Luna was approaching with noticeably relaxed steps.

It seemed like she had woken up after sleeping soundly while I was in the community.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah, I slept well.”

“You were sleeping so deeply that you wouldn’t have known if someone had carried you away.”

“Hehe…….”

Luna scratched her head as if she was embarrassed.

Sideways glance.

Then she started to glance at my face from the side.

Is there something she wants to say?

When I tilted my head, Luna turned her head away in surprise.

For some reason, Luna’s ears were flushed red.

I don’t see any other reactions besides that, so it can’t be anything important.

I was having such a pointless conversation with Luna when.

Fron asked, poking her head in.

“What are you doing now?”

Her gaze was fixed on the two stones floating above my hand.

I paused for a moment before answering. There was no reason to hide it.

“Telekinesis.”

“Are you referring to a type of ability?”

“Yes. It’s a power that I’m still not proficient in using, so I’m training.”

“I see.”

Fron didn’t seem to doubt me.

There was no particular reason to doubt me.

Of course, telekinesis wasn’t a common ability.

But it wasn’t an ability that was completely unheard of either.

It meant that it wasn’t as rare as the Eye of Arrogance or my other traits.

‘However, if I have sufficient proficiency and a vast amount of mana, I can unleash tremendous power.’

What I wanted was to evolve telekinesis.

The next stage of telekinesis.

‘Gravity.’

A natural and transcendental power that could crush or lift anything.

It was an incredible ability that was considered to be a planet in its own right.

I was still a long way from developing telekinesis to that extent.

I was only able to lift two stones.

‘It’s not something I should reveal now.’

Still, if I didn’t slack off on my training, the possibilities were endless.

I was having such optimistic thoughts while training my telekinesis.

Before I knew it, Idea appeared and began to organize the students.

“Is everyone here?”

Idea said, scanning the number of students with her eyes.

“Fortunately, there are no dropouts for this training session.”

Luna flinched as if she had been pricked.

What a mischievous personality.

She must have said that on purpose to embarrass Luna.

Regardless, Idea continued speaking.

“Your eyes have finally gained a good light. It seems like they still need some refinement, though.”

Idea was right.

The students’ eyes were filled with confidence.

Furthermore, their fear of humans had somewhat diminished.

The qualifications of a predator.

One by one, the students were beginning to acquire that aspect.

“Then, let’s head back to Sytan!”

Idea cheered and left Orgon with the students.

It was the moment of escape from a place that had been short but had felt long.
