Chapter 30 - A Conversation With The Principal

Danny went to the principal's office and decided that he couldn't be bothered with waiting.

Getting scolded because of her pride was something he expected, but it didn't mean he liked it.

He kicked the door, and the door opened into the office with a slam.

The principal lifted his head with a questioning look to see who it was and, after seeing who it was, turned back to look at the paper he was holding.

"You know that what you did can get you punished?"

The old demon asked without looking at him.

"Yes."

Danny answered.

"So why did you do it?"

The principal asked with a disinterested tone.

"If it is me or Ms. Ninimma, who would you believe?"

Danny answered with a question.

"We both know the answer. What about it?"

The principal asked and lifted his head.

He looked at Danny with dead fish eyes that seemed to contain a glimpse of curiosity about Danny's actions.

His personality around teachers and around students was quite different, and that was because he had no reason to respect these demonic brats.

"Then what good would it do me if I waited for class to be over, for her to come here and lie, and for you to believe her?"

Danny asked.

"Could you not open the door normally or knock?"

At this point, the old principal concentrated his full attention on Danny.

"Would you open the door for a random student?"

Danny asked back.

"Not in a thousand years."

The old principal's eyes showed that he had already understood Danny's reasoning.

"So. What was the reason that you decided to forcefully open my door?"

The principal asked.

He didn't care to hear Danny's retort regarding the door and just wanted to hear what brought the white-haired student to his office.

"I'm not a saint and won't lie about that, but after Ms. Ninimma asked a question I didn't listen to and directed it at me, I successfully discerned what her question was and answered it perfectly. She decided I cheated and told me to come here as punishment."

Danny explained the situation.

"How could it be you knew the answer perfectly? None of the material covered this year should have been taught in your previous school."

The principal found it hard to believe Danny's explanation.

"Well, I do know it and anything else that will be taught for the next half a year. Maybe even more than that."

Danny answered.

"What's your name? Who are your parents? Who taught you?"

The principal asked.

"My name is Daniel. The teacher who taught me most of what I know is Mr. Hades more than four years ago. I can't discuss my parents. All I can say is that my mother is human, and my father is a demon."

Danny answered.

"A student of Hades's before the age of twelve?! What type of lie is that? And why can't you tell me about your father?"

The principal was angered by the incomplete answer.

"Can't you check my file or something?"

Danny asked.

"This is such a bother..."

The principal sighed miserably.

He lifted his finger and chanted.

"Danielis Invenire Recordum."

The principal's office had a door to the main hallway and a door to another room that only connected through that one entrance.

Suddenly, the second door slammed open, and a file floated from inside to the desk in front of the principal.

The principal attempted to put his hand on the file and open it, but the moment he touched it, a massive force hit him, and he received a message.

[If it is true thee has no permission from the king, thee shall not readeth this fileth]

Through magic embedded in the file, these words were projected into the principal's mind.

'The king?! A purple-eyed, white-haired Daniel sounds like what I've heard about the smartest low-level demon. What's his connection to the king?!'

The principal was shaken.

"Ahem... I permit you to come back to class. If Ms. Ninimma gives you trouble in that regard, you are free to send her to me with teleportation magic. I remember you used it during the tournament."

The principal said and waved his hand as if to shoo Daniel out of his office.

He couldn't risk provoking this mysterious student with connections to King Satan.

********

"...So this is how the gas vile under the Hell Hound's tongue reacts to its natural magic, and why when it exudes the gas, it vomits fire..."

Ms. Ninimma was explaining about Hell Hounds when Danny walked in.

He didn't even bother hiding his entrance, as he opened the door widely, then said hello and gave high five to everyone he knew in the class.

Even to kids outside of his regular friend group.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go to the principal's office?!"

The female teacher didn't bother hiding her annoyance.

"Yes, you did."

Danny said and sat in his seat.

"Then why are-"

She was about to question his reason for coming back.

"And I spoke with the principal. He believed me when I said you lied about me cheating and said that you should go see him after class."

Danny cut her midsentence.

"There's no way I'll believe that!"

She argued.

Danny sighed deeply.

"Well, don't say I didn't warn you."

He said, and with a snap of his fingers, the old demoness was no longer in the classroom.

"What did you just do?"

A male student asked in surprise.

"The principal told me to teleport her to him if she gave me issues over returning to class, and I recently learned how to use magic without chanting."

Danny answered, and the student was in awe.

"But what about class?"

A female student asked.

"If you want to study this much, I can teach you."

Danny said, and the students who didn't listen before seemed to be more interested now.

"Are you serious?"

Another student asked.

"Well, I don't care enough about beastology, but I can teach you about magic theory and help you strengthen your control."

Danny answered.

"Please do."

The female student from before said with excitement in her eyes.

Danny's magic control was undefeated, and learning from an expert like him might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Marcuse, please help me demonstrate."

Danny said as he stood up and walked to the front of the class.

The demon prince chuckled and chose to do as Danny requested.
