We left the building and moved to another, after walking for a while Eliza knocked on the door of one of the rooms.
-Forward-
A voice was heard coming from the other side.
When we entered we found an exquisitely decorated room, there was a shelf full of books on the right, several armchairs and a large table on the left and a desk with its chair in the background.
There was a man sitting in one of the armchairs, when we entered he got up and greeted us.
-A pleasure young promises, my name is Cris and I am the deputy director of the crystal academy, the director cannot see you because he is currently on his way to fight with the demons, I hope you understand-
After that he invited us to sit down, which we did.
Looking closely at the deputy director, I noticed that he was young, very young to be in his position, he was around 30 years old.
His smile never cut short as he spoke to us.
From then on, the deputy director explained to us the procedure to follow and the rules of the academy, honestly I got lost in the first 30 minutes, I just shook my head like the others and answered yes from time to time.
-...and speaking of interest, I'm interested in you, Alex, you're the third commoner who can enter class A, which is an achievement if you consider that you don't have the same resources as the others-
-Yes... sorry, thank you-
-According to the report, you are an orphan from Ciudad Lirio-
-Yes, I was living in that city until recently, I moved to the capital 3 months ago in preparation to enter the academy-
In a robotic voice I told my made-up backstory.
-Then I hope you make an effort to fight the demons to liberate your hometown-
-I'll do my best-
Said.
At the time I was talking with the assistant director, I noticed that the others looked at me with disgust, well, only the three girls, Brad still had his smile.
-Well it's getting late, I hope that tomorrow they give everything in their classes-
After saying a few more things, the deputy director fired us.
Miss Eliza told us that we could do what we wanted in the remaining time so I headed towards the exit of the academy.
I walked through the wide streets of the city until I came to a small alley, from there I took a few turns and changed my appearance when I was sure no one was seeing me, then I came to a store with the name 'Ulta Slave Store' .
When I entered a tall man with a big beard greeted me.
-Good afternoon dear customer, what type of merchandise are you interested in? We have from beastmen to elves-
I currently looked like an old man, so when I answered my voice came out low.
-I want to see them with my own eyes, lead the way-
-To the order-
The man began to walk and opened a door that led to the basement, I followed him closely.
When we went down, I found a damp feeling and a smell of feces.
-These are our copies-
From the stairs to the front there was a long path surrounded by cells after cells.
Enclosed in them were dwarves, beastmen, elves, dragons, fairies, and demons.
Apparently the other races were not pleasing to the eye and therefore did not have them.
When I looked at the slaves, they just gave me a look and saw the ground again, their eyes did not contain a hint of hope, not even despair, it was just a deep emptiness.
Most of their bodies were covered in scars, but overall they were all whole.
-You have good merchandise but... don't you have children?-
The moment I said that all the surrounding slaves raised their heads and rushed towards the gate.
-Buy me-
-Not the kids!-
-Damned!-
Dozens of insults, pleas and curses fell on me.
-Shut up!-
When the owner shouted that, the necklace that was on the neck of the slaves shone and the slaves fell silent against his will.
-So you want child, heh, follow me-
The man moved on.
As he walked I noticed dozens of murderous eyes directed at me, it was obvious that if the slaves didn't have their necklaces they would have already attacked me.
I slowed down a bit and looked at the slaves, then put a finger to my lips and began to summon magic.
The exclaves were scared, but the moment they felt their wounds heal quickly they looked at me with confused eyes.
Moving my lips I said.
"I will save the children"
I don't know if they understood me or not, but the exclavos knelt with hope and gratitude in their eyes.
When we got to the end of the hallway the man touched the wall in a specific pattern and the wall glowed, then a path opened up that went much lower.
When I went down the stairs I found a single giant fence, in it were around 10 children.
-This is our merchandise-
Looking closely at the children, they looked well cared for, they even had new clothes.
Although his eyes...
-For what purpose do you sell them?-
I asked as my fist clenched unconsciously.
-Well, each client can do whatever he wants with them and...-
The seller approached me and winked at me.
-I can assure you that they are all virgins-
At that moment I couldn't take it anymore and put my hand on the man's shoulder.
-You will go upstairs and make me a list with the names of all those who have bought an exclave, also, it will not be strange for you that all the children here suddenly disappear-
-Okay, I'll go up the list, I'll be right back-
As if nothing happened, the man left me alone with the children.
Mind control works wonders.
When the man left, I changed my form and with magic I opened the lock of the gate.
-From now on they will be free-
The children looked at me doubtfully, but the moment I said that they began to cry.
-Mother...-
-I don't want to continue here...-
I entered the gate and cast teleportation magic, bringing all the children with me to the demon palace.
By the time we arrived there were several servants waiting, I had already informed them of our arrival.
-Take care of these children-
I said those short words and returned to the slave shop.
I changed my appearance and went up the stairs.
-The children are safe-
I said the moment the other slaves noticed my arrival.
-I would like to get you all out of here, but I have a mission for you-
I conjured magic and gave each of them a magical communicator.
-This device can be kept inside their bodies and is undetectable unless they meet a court magician-
I then explained to them that they would serve as spies for the demon realm for a while.
-All this is to take revenge on humans, I hope they cooperate-
-Yeah!-
-By the demon kingdom!-
Everyone was excited to serve the demon realm.
It seems that royal domain is having its effect.
-Then remember to give a daily report-
So I went up the stairs and arrived at the reception.
-This is the client list-
Take the list from the man's hands.
-From now on, every time a child arrives, you will communicate it through this device, in addition, you will try to sell the adult slaves to the nobles-
-Alright-
So I left the slave shop.
-Time to go to all the shops in the city-
