Ares won't help me.

It can't be helped.

Ares was wary of me, and not just because he suspected I was a spy.

He was definitely wary of my power.

'For some reason, I don't know why.'

It must have been related to the killing intent and cruel demeanor I had shown.

So if you ask me if I'm going to stop showing my cruelty...

I shook my head.

'I can't do that.'

Compared to the children of the Seven Deadly Sins, I don't have much power.

At least, not for now.

If I push my telekinetic abilities to the limit, I'll gain a wide-area skill that's not inferior to the children of the Seven Deadly Sins.

But that's a story for the distant future.

'The children of the Seven Deadly Sins must have the power to wipe out hundreds of people at once, even now.'

On the other hand, my talent is specialized in assassination.

That means I'm not suited for the role of wiping out enemies in a flashy way.

If that happens, my abilities will be underestimated.

So, in order to maintain my authority and position, I had to attack somewhere else.

That's it.

A cruel side that could overwhelm the power of the children of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Thanks to that, I was able to receive high praise from Idea and the other students.

There was the side effect of Ares' wariness, but...

'But it's not that bad.'

At most, he just glares at me or is conscious of me.

Of course, there are also tricks like spreading a surveillance network, but

It didn't affect my daily life or radius of activity.

'If he crosses the line...'

A chilling killing intent leaked out.

At that time, I would have to bear the consequences of whatever I did.

The price of touching me will never be light.

"Eek...!"

Luna's face turned white as I distorted my expression.

It seemed that killing intent had leaked out.

"Oh, no."

I roughly wiped my face.

I didn't mean to, but I seemed to have startled Luna without thinking.

I smiled again and coaxed Luna.

"I think I've been a little tired lately, so I seem to have startled Ms. Luna unintentionally."

"N-no, it's okay."

Luna smiled awkwardly and accepted my apology.

She seemed to be in a good mood, as if she didn't dislike me that much.

Is she still afraid of me?

It’s not good…

I’ve only just managed to raise Luna’s favorability, so I can’t let it go to waste.

“Ms. Luna.”

“Hmm?”

“Would you like to have a meal with me?”

It was just a school meal, but it held great significance.

“!”

Luna’s eyes widened.

This was the first time I had ever invited her to have a school meal together.

Up until now, I had been so focused on training my mana and miscellaneous traits that I hadn’t even eaten school meals with my party members.

That’s why Fron and Luna had been secretly expressing their dissatisfaction.

They tried to hide it, but I could tell from the regretful expressions they wore.

I tilted my head and asked, “Do you have other plans?”

“Ah, no! Let’s eat together!”

Luna nodded her head.

She’s quick to warm up to me.

Luna and I headed to the cafeteria, chatting about this and that.

“Did you know this is the first time we’re having a school meal together?”

“Yes, I suppose it is. Now that I think about it, this is my first time having a school meal at all.”

I had been skipping lunch because it was a hassle.

I would get hungry, but I didn’t want to waste time eating.

“Really?! You haven’t eaten in all this time?”

“Yes, I’ve only been eating breakfast and dinner in the dormitory cafeteria.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

If you skip even one meal, you’ll get hungry and weak.

Luna’s expression as she said this was full of genuine concern.

“Let’s eat together from now on.”

“……!”

As I said this with a grin, Luna’s ears turned red.

She’s such an easy woman to read…

I was tempted to tease her more, but I suddenly stopped in my tracks and looked back.

‘Someone’s watching us.’

I narrowed my eyes suspiciously.

I thought it might be Ares, but the presence was weaker than his.

If I had to guess, it would be about the same level as Chris during the entrance exam.

Which meant that it wasn’t Ares.

‘And the gaze isn’t directed at me.’

For a moment, I thought it was someone who had noticed my true identity and was keeping an eye on me.

But the gaze was clearly directed at Luna, not me.

My expression hardened as I asked Luna, “Ms. Luna.”

“What is it?”

“We’re being followed.”

“……?!”

Luna gasped in surprise and looked back.

At the same time, I turned my head to follow Luna’s gaze.

Just as I had sensed, three demons were following Luna and me.

They were Sytan's students.

Fortunately, they didn't seem to be assassins or overseers, so I could rest assured.

"Do you know them?"

"......Yes."

Luna nodded with a dark face.

However, judging by Luna's expression, they didn't seem like people she would call friends.

I could roughly understand the situation.

They were probably the nasty students who had been harassing Luna.

'These days, they don't seem to bother her because Fron and I are with her, so I've left them alone......'

What the hell is going on?

For some reason, those students' steps seemed unusually confident today.

I've shown them more than Fron has lately, so it can't be because Fron isn't here.

Did they get some kind of backing in the meantime?

While I was pondering the reason why those Demon students had regained their confidence.

They spoke to us first.

"You half-breeds are quite the gathering."

It was clear provocation.

A pungent and acrid scent of emotion wafted from them.

It was an unpleasant smell.

"......"

Clench-.

As they approached, Luna grabbed my shoulder.

There must be a reason why she was afraid of them, but perhaps it was also because of the persecution and contempt she had suffered as a half-Demon.

Anyway, she's a handful.

I was about to step forward.

"Get lost...!"

Luna took a step forward and shouted at the Demon students.
