The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy
chapter-62-1

After finishing Ares' Weaponry exam with quite satisfactory results.

The next magic exam went smoothly.

It involved demonstrating stealth and answering theoretical questions about magic.

'It was the easiest test.'

I had already mastered stealth.

In addition, most of the theory was something I already knew.

As long as there were no variables, I would get a near-perfect score in magic.

*Ding-dong-*

As the magic test ended.

"Whew."

I let out a sigh and slumped onto my desk.

Although I had completed all three exams, I didn't feel particularly good.

The previous exams weren't that important.

The final subject, Practical, was the only real challenge...

'...I can do it.'

My shoulders felt heavy as if weighed down by a boulder.

Even if I had done well in the previous exams, if I died during the Practical Skills exam, all my efforts would be in vain.

'I feel nauseous...'

The tension made me feel like bile was rising in my throat.

While I was sighing and worrying,

"Did the exams go well?"

Fron, having finished her exams, approached me and asked.

I thought for a moment before answering.

I couldn't predict the results of the theoretical exams, but I was certain I had aced the stealth portion.

"Well, I think I did okay. How did you do, Fron?"

"Heh."

"...?"

I frowned as Fron let out an unpleasant laugh.

"Are you trying to brag now?"

"You caught on!"

"That's the only reason you'd laugh like that, Ms. Fron."

Fron possessed a talent for magic that rivaled Samuel's.

She would have definitely gotten a perfect score in the Magic class.

However, it felt a bit irritating that she came to boast.

Despite my cold stare, she continued to grin as if she was enjoying herself.

Fine.

Let's just listen for a moment.

"You probably got the lowest score in the Weaponry exam anyway."

"...?"

"...?"

Oh no.

I had accidentally spoken my thoughts aloud.

But it was too late. Fron's face contorted as she glared at me.

"You...!!"

"Ah, that was a slip of the tongue."

Despite my quick correction, Fron's anger didn't subside, and her face flushed red.

Ugh.

I sighed and was about to try to appease the enraged Fron when,

*Creak.*

The classroom door opened, and a familiar student appeared.

I couldn't help but flinch when our eyes met.

The student walked towards me and raised his hand in greeting.

"Long time no see?"

"...It has been a while."

I felt awkward, but I accepted his greeting for the time being.

He wasn't someone I wanted to antagonize.

He was a student who displayed a mixture of fondness and interest towards me.

He was the owner of a bright and confident appearance, like his orange hair.

"Mr. Baltan."

"Thanks for remembering. And you seem to have gotten stronger since I last saw you?"

"I appreciate the compliment."

"Hmm, I really want to spar with you sometime."

"..."

Baltan scanned me with a strange look, and I remained silent.

"Well, I have something to do today, so it's impossible."

As Baltan spoke with a hint of regret, Fron, who was standing next to me, pointed at him.

"You're the child of Envy, right? I saw you during the entrance exam. This is the first time I've seen you since the class assignments."

Fron seemed to know Baltan as well.

Of course, it would be hard to forget someone as noticeable as Baltan.

Following me, Fron and Baltan also exchanged greetings.

"And you're Fron, right?"

"That's right!"

When Fron confirmed, Baltan beckoned her to follow.

"Hmm, could you come with me for a moment?"

"Are you talking to me?"

"Yes."

Baltan suddenly called out to Fron.

"We're having a meeting with the class presidents of each class this time. The principal will be attending as well, so you have to be there."

A meeting?

It was sudden, but not incomprehensible.

The principal probably wanted to say something before the midterm exams.

But,

"I'm not the class president."

"Huh?"

"Well, it's true that the class president is my subordinate, though."

"You're not the class president?"

Baltan narrowed his eyes and asked again.

He seemed momentarily confused that Fron, a child of the Seven Deadly Sins, wasn't the class president.

Then, Baltan glanced at Samuel, who was sitting in the back.

Fron shook her head.

"That child isn't the class president either."

"Oh, then..."

Only then did Baltan

Only then did Baltan's gaze shift towards me.

"You were the class president?"

"Yes, that's right."

"If that's the case, I really want to spar with you. Can you make some time?"

"..."

"Later, perhaps."

Baltan, upon learning that I was the class president, suddenly became eager to fight.

I shook my head, indicating that I had no intention of fighting right now.

"Tch, then follow me for now. Fron, you should come too."

Baltan clicked his tongue in disappointment and beckoned me with his hand. Fron retorted in a sulky voice,

"Correction, I am the class president's master, so the class president follows me."

"...Let's just go."

"Haha, you two are having fun, aren't you?"

Does this look like fun?

My face was so hot that I felt ashamed...

I covered my face and pushed Fron's back, who had started to talk nonsense.

I walked down the hallway and asked Baltan what I was curious about.

"Come to think of it, I haven't heard why you suddenly called the class president of each class to a meeting."

"It's because of the regional assignments."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, do you know that the content of the midterm exam this time is to invade the human world?"

Ah, I think I know what it is.

When the final exam of the midterm exam begins, we have to attack the humans.

The target includes not only the Imperial Academy but also towns and cities in other areas.

So.

"It's a meeting to decide which area each class will attack."

"Adel, you're pretty smart too. There was a reason why you were chosen as the class president. Among the class presidents of the other classes, there are some who are just strong and stupid. Well, there was one guy who was shivering after fighting me once."

"......I see."

I answered shakily.
