Everyone turned to look at the Metallica lizard which was casually lying on the ground next to Damien, a collective gasp echoed in the clearing as they all looked at the young demon who had actually hunted a level three demon. From the looks of it, the demon was weak enough to be crushed by a single blow of their hand but this young demon took a level three demonic beast down when they couldn't!
" Impossible!" Abaddon was the first to snap out of his daze as he looked at the demonic beast on the ground, his first instinctive reaction was to refuse but the evidence lay in front of him. He gritted his teeth and raised his eyes unwillingly when he saw that the young man in front of him was looking rather smug, he wished he could toast him alive but there were teachers around him and more importantly, he made an unbreakable oath!
" Never say that anything is impossible," Damien did not want to make things difficult for this young demon at first, if Abaddon had lowered his head and accepted him as his boss, he would have let him off but instead of admitting defeat this demon had tried to make things difficult for him, how could he not give Abaddon a taste of his medicine.
And while Damien was coming out of the cave which later fell shattering into crumbles the second, the magic holding it up from the inside was gone —— he realised that compared to other demons he was still too weak. The falling boulders inside the cave showed him, his place within seconds, if not for the magic of the old demon lord, he would have been crushed under a large boulder or something.
It was not too bad to have a strong companion, at least that way he will have a backup when something unexpected happened.
The students of this demon academy seem to respect Abaddon a lot and from that alone, he could see that Abaddon was not the typical demon, if someone of this calibre was to follow him then he would not have to worry about a potent shield, this little follower of him would do,
Damien raised his hand and then patted Abaddon on his shoulder before walking to stand next to the crowd, " I will expect great loyalty from you, Ab."
Ab?
Abaddon grounded his teeth even harder when he heard Damien call him by a nickname, even his family did not dare to slight him like this! He turned his head to glare hatefully at Damien's back but that was all he could do before following the young demon with a soul look on his face. Who asked him to court the devil?
The students around them watched Damien beckoning Abaddon as he pleased and sucked in a breath before turning to look away, it was a good thing that they did not pick up a fight with that young demon, who knows what kind of secrets was he hiding?
After Damien's return another girl, it was the same girl who had introduced herself as the demon of lust, she was dragging a beast which looked like an enlarged dog, the only difference was that its fur was thick and long, and even though the dog was knocked unconscious, the end of its fur was moving.
Damien narrowed his eyes as he focussed on the tips of the long fur of the dog and was surprised to see a small mouth at the end of each bristle of the fur. At first, he did not realise what was the use of that disgusting thing but a second later he knew ——
The dog might have been unconscious but the fur which seemed to be alive sensed that something was wrong, thus when the instructor who was in charge of noting down the results of the hunt walked forward, the many mouths at the tip of the thick fur opened and shot long tongues which entwined together to form a large, enormous, slimy thing which shot straight at the instructor who was startled because of the sudden change in proceedings.
The slimy thing had a sharp tip at the end, and when everyone saw it head straight toward the instructor they all thought that the old demon was going to be pierced in half but instead a blinding white glow shot through the elongated slimy tongue causing it to disintegrate into pieces.
" Watch what is going around will you?" A gloomy voice echoed in the surrounding as the man with the same features as Sierra walked towards the hunting ground.
Damien turned to look at the man and stiffened when he saw Luke Vivi walk towards the instructor with a disapproving gaze. A bad feeling rose in his heart and it only intensified when he saw the instructor in those black robes lower his head in front of Luke who did not even bother to reply to him and carefully studied the dog which was now whimpering in pain.
" You used your seductive charm efficiently but it was not good enough, as demons upon whom the future of the demon realm depends, a mistake like such is foolish and simply beyond the limits of naivety, if you were working with someone in a group this mistake of yours could have caused fatal injuries and in the worst case scenario death. Rank Miden," Luke announced and from the pale complexion of Blair, Damien could see that whatever this Miden rank was, it was the lowest of the low.
" But I——" the girl tried to contradict Luke but the latter simply turned his head and with a gaze which was neither hot nor cold asked, " Is there something wrong, Miss Blair?"
Though he seemed to be asking, one could see that his tone was very similar to that of a tyrant who was telling his subjects that if they dared to rebel, they will suffer heavy consequences. Most probably, Blair realised it too because she lowered her head a second later and did not say anything against him, all that left her lips was, " I understand instructor."
