chapter 9
9. Let’s go hunting tonight!
There was an uproar among the academy students, the freshmen to be precise.
It is said that there are demon kings and warriors among the motives that will be staying with them!
The fact that those demon lords killed other demon lords for the sake of peace, and the fact that the warriors rarely experienced actual combat was good. The Hero and the Demon King, that was the only thing that mattered. It was only natural to be half interested and half worried about what would happen between the two forces.
“I will just give up on the academy. I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s scary! What if those demons eat us?!”
“I can’t be in the same space with demons. I’d rather leave.”
“Disgusting. You want me to stay with you in a place like this? Go away. I will not.”
A few frightened ones, and a few fiercely hard-line aristocratic families. Some students gave up on entering the academy and turned around. It was the same with the existing students.
Thanks to that, the faculty members are very embarrassed, but what can we do? I can’t catch those who want to quit.
It seems that some of the words came out from above. What is this all of a sudden because of four years of demons?
The proud Imperial Academy, where only verified people enter, is getting dirty.
If you stamped on the peace talks, you will return quickly, so why are you staying?
Lethe’s answer to all those stories was just one word.
“Assholes.”
How can it be so simple? I think I’m going to go crazy looking straight ahead and discussing the big country.
I know very well that there is a battle of pride between the Empire, the Elves, and the Dwarves. Talking about each other saying that they are the best, the others are one level below.
At that timing, the demons who beat those three places at once, and their heads entered the imperial academy. It’s not like it’s just a temporary experience, it’s an official one!
Think about it. It’s not that the demon lords came and got dirty, but even those great demon lords were eager to come to the Imperial Academy! Well, isn’t it much more profitable to wrap it this way?
It’s a feat that neither the noble elf nor the dwarf with the dexterity of a god could achieve. The demon lords, and those who literally tore the other demon lords to death, came with their heads bowed.
I have already heard that the imperial family and some nobles have similar thoughts. You can’t miss this great opportunity, so prepare carefully and take advantage of it.
But most of the nobles, as well as the public, just don’t like the fact that the demon king came to the academy, so they don’t know what to do. So, he seemed to be trying to keep his mouth shut and check the atmosphere.
‘It’s frustrating. Do I have to take care of all these things?’
Annoying and annoying. But since I have received something, shouldn’t I at least pay for it?
I didn’t eat my conscience. It’s not even a cider-mad blackened Munchkin. I’m just an possessor who wants to live while receiving as much as I can in moderation.
I decided that I should catch the wind myself because the empire has done something good for me.
“Are you sure? Sir Lethe? You said you’d come to that place?!”
“Yes. Oh, if I were to go there….”
“No! Rather, I am grateful. We’ll let you know right away.”
A huge banquet will be held shortly. Lethe decided to appear there in person.
It’s really annoying. It’s clear that all kinds of swindlers roll their eyes and calculate after calculation.
But I have to go. That way, our children will be able to attend the academy more comfortably. Thinking so, I opened the door and entered the classroom.
‘… They say sh*t, really.’
I barely managed to hold back a sigh coming out of my stomach at the scenery in front of me.
The academy here is huge. The same applies to even one classroom.
In that classroom, all the students are sitting huddled together in one place.
And at the center of it all are four female students. To be precise, the state where the warriors were seated.
On the other hand, on the other side, there were four other girls with no one around.
Astaroth, Marmar, Sitri, and El. The demon kings who joined the academy this time.
Even though he openly bullies and openly provokes him, there doesn’t seem to be any change in his emotions.
No. There are emotional changes. Look at it now Lethe comes in and she is very good and is about to die.
I don’t care how Imperial, Elf, or Dwarf students treat them.
‘Do you think they’ll take even 1 damage?’
In my mind, I want to scream at least to tell them to fill up their seats right away.
But doing so would only increase the hostility towards the demon lords.
Even if it’s not the case, the relationship between himself and the demon lords is strange, so he’s getting more and more negative attention.
Because of themselves, those four have to stay here at the academy, whether they like it or not.
I want to give you a good experience. Aren’t they the demon lords who ended the war? Even if not as much as the veterans of the Empire, there are enough reasons to be treated.
That’s why I had to refrain from ‘openly’ siding with the Demon Kings.
“After today’s lecture, I will take a paper test. So let everyone scatter.”
This is just for testing. I’m not openly siding with you guys.

“Today’s lecture is about the Ekan Plains Great Competition that took place two years ago. The spirit of the demons has risen and the empire has suffered tremendous damage, but it is a battleground that is the decisive factor in the sense of crisis and the union of humans, elves, and dwarves.”
New. What a man like that looks like You’re so cool!
“… Here, the imperial command made a crucial mistake in judgment. As a result of concentrating troops to penetrate the center, the flanks collapsed and a huge encirclement was completed. As a result….”
Your brother is so intelligent! I like that too!
“The Imperial side did not surrender and fought until the end. However, he could not do anything about the demons who had already entered from the slopes. In the end, there were 30,000 dead and close to 10,000 prisoners—”
You can shine with only one eyeglass and a suit. You are the owner too!
“… The most terrible thing is the brutality of the demons killing and eating prisoners.”
Okay. Too. Good.
The four demon lords went to Lethe’s lecture with ecstatic expressions. No, I will correct it. I was so engrossed in Lethe that I couldn’t get out of my head.
I thought he was only in charge of the actual combat part because he was an instructor. I only imagined how they trained themselves in the past, but that was not the case. It was more than that.
Look at the monocle worn over his face while wearing a black suit. People look completely different. Even if he doesn’t, he’s just a cool person, but he’s going crazy when he changes like that!
No matter what kind of lecture came out of Lethe’s mouth, it was already outside of his mind.
Whether the demons slaughtered the captives, threw them alive into the fire and ate them, or the same students’ gaze changed more and more ugly each time the story came out, it didn’t matter.
‘Academy… Academy… ! Isn’t this a nice place?!’
‘I think I know why my older brother sang the academy song.’
‘From now on, I have to take this place seriously as well. It’s a place where I can see the new side of my master!’
‘Academy. Nice place.’
Every moment, the evaluation of the demon kings’ academy was on the rise.
Her admiration for Lethe, who wanted her academy as a bonus, was growing even more.
‘Children. Please stay focused What are you doing?’
Of course, Lethe, who was standing on her podium and giving the lecture, was going crazy and jumping.
You can see everything here. It’s all about students thinking differently and doing other things.
In that sense, all the demon kings sitting there were thinking differently.
In the meantime, her eyes looking at her become more and more hazy. If you still don’t know what those women are thinking, you’re either an ass or an idiot.
Other students want to make themselves uncomfortable somehow. The target, the demon lords, is trying to eat Lethe himself somehow. I have no interest in what others say or not.
For this thing, you have to put your hands together to get applause, but that can’t be the case.
‘Should I take a good look at this… Should I look bad… ?’
Whether or not Lete was upset by this worry, the demon lords were still the same.
Now he’s openly blushing and breathing deeply.
It was fortunate that the students still kept their distance from them.
“….”
Then, Michaela, who was sitting across from her, was quietly watching.

“I’m sure it won’t work.”
Astaroth reveals his determination with a voice that says he has made up his mind.
“Let’s attack.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Are you out of your mind?”
“… Turned.”
“Yes. That’s right. I’m going crazy. I think I’m going crazy. I’ll turn! Is it normal if the fire doesn’t light up after seeing Mr. Huh?! Be honest, Mar. Are you okay Sitry, you. L You!”
This is an embarrassing question. Anyway, shame is something you should know!
That’s why Marmar and Sitri are about to scream, reflexively, ‘We’re all right?!’
“I’m not okay. Wet! I can’t live like this! The uncle is right in front of you, so you have to put up with this?!”
I don’t know if it’s shameful or not, but Astaroth said to shut up and attack first. And in between ‘… Little. Wet.’ Even L said this.
Now that this is the case, the other two demon lords have no choice but to agree. Eventually shakes
“Well then… Tonight?”
“Will the real four come in tonight?”
“Even you, man, will have a hard time dealing with all four of us.”
What is a demon? They are a race that fights and gets what they want.
And demon kings are the ones who exist at the end of the demons!
“Okay. Gentlemen. Tonight, let’s go hunting!”
Around the time when Astaroth raised his hand and shouted, ‘Mister Hunt’.
‘What is this… is that sound?! Is it hunting?!’
Michaela, who happened to be passing nearby and overheard the secret talk of the demon lords, hid her presence as much as possible and secretly watched the demon lords.
