Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

47 – Demonic flood. (8)

The first thing I felt when I came to my senses was that my body was boiling. What should I say…… Should I say that my body is boiling, not in a negative sense, but in a positive sense?

My body was literally overflowing with strength.

It seems that the heart of the dragon that was processed with that terrible taste did its job well.

Actually, I haven’t had any trouble…… Still, I felt satisfied because I felt like I had achieved my goal. I hope things happen like this in the future.

Considering the demonic beasts that were advancing toward the islands with Ah-ryong, it was a foregone conclusion that they would soon reach the islands. There was no time to lie down like this.

I immediately got up. OK.

Bwaaak!

“Ahh!”

Along with the sound of my head hitting something, I heard Asti scream. Given the circumstances, it seemed like he literally headbutted Asti’s forehead.

“Oh, Asti?”

“What are you! I was worried because the pick suddenly collapsed, so I was looking into it…….”

On her face, all the joy from before was gone, and instead there was deep worry.

“I’m sorry. “I didn’t even know you were right in front of me.”

“So, how are you feeling? “Isn’t there something strange about it?”

“There’s nothing particularly strange about it…” … Rather, I feel like I’m overflowing with energy.”

“Are you full of energy?”

“Yes. But again, it feels like I can control it surprisingly well.”

“Are there any side effects?”

“Originally, the side effects caused by the dragon’s heart…… As far as I know, his personality becomes extremely evil, but it doesn’t really seem like that, does it?”

This is most likely thanks to Asti.

“Ah, that’s probably thanks to me.”

“Why?”

Although I knew her in general, I asked her back to know her detailed reasons.

“When I signed a contract with you, I took several measures to protect my mind. So it won’t have any effect. Ultimately, it is a mental problem caused by external factors.”

“Aha.”

That’s how it was. It wasn’t simply because of Asti’s influence, it was just because Asti had done something.

It was a setting that was only skimmed over in the novel, so it didn’t feel like it was a long story, but…… If Asti had done something, there wouldn’t be any particular danger.

At this point, isn’t Asti truly an all-rounder? I thought seriously. Maybe it’s because she’s been a demon for a long time, but her abilities really feel like they’re beyond the limits of what I can tell.

You can only guess at her simple combat skills, but other than that, she was good at all kinds of assistance. Even if it was just the heart of the subdragon I ate right now, if she hadn’t processed it, she would have ripped off that huge heart and eaten it.

“Anyway, it seems like it ended well, so let’s go check out the status of the system. Probably around this time…….”

At that time. Suddenly it started to get noisy outside.

“Demon beast is rushing like crazy against the castle wall!”

I immediately got up from the bed at the sound of a worker’s scream-like voice.

The demonic beast has finally arrived at the island. It was the full-fledged start of the demonic flood event.

When I asked the employees, they said that my father had already gone to see His Majesty the Emperor.

“What are we going to do now?”

“We will probably bring academy students to the academy. “For us to use it as electricity too.”

“And then?”

“What…… “You can just have fun cutting down the demon beasts.”

“It’s simple. After that, we just have to make sure Ruslan is cutting it well, right?”

“That’s right. And we must try to minimize civilian casualties as much as possible. “There won’t be time to just play or watch.”

“I know that much. “This time, I guess I’ll just have to call a few black spirits.”

“It’s okay to some extent. Unless we call in the entire army, the system won’t become a sea of fire…… Firepower will become more important than anything else. Because a swarm of demonic beasts is not normal. “It’s also impossible to summon Sloth again.”

“Yeah, well, I don’t have any intention of calling her again. Anyway, I understand.”

“Oh, and when I go to the academy, I’ll take Lina and Nea with me.”

“Why them?”

“We will corrupt the saint’s remains. “It’s work that has to be done during times of demonic flooding.”

“Ah. “This is a time when the demonic beasts’ resentment is overflowing, so the work will be easier.”

“That’s right. So, all we have to do is accompany Lina and Nea and help Ruslan while keeping an eye on his situation. “If we just widen the scope of his activities as much as possible, our role is over.”

“I understand.”

“Maybe we should go to the academy as soon as my father returns. Because that’s what the emperor will order. Mobilize all available manpower to subdue the demonic beasts.”

Asti nodded at what I said.

“This is all you need to know. Now, I will tell you more as the situation arises.”

“Yes.”

“Anyway…… You’re going to have a hard time this time too. I want to save as many civilians as possible. Even if the plan goes a little off, let’s make it a priority. “Because each and every one of them can become valuable personnel later.”

“What if the plan goes awry?”

“Even if everything goes wrong, it’s okay as long as Ruslan doesn’t die. The more difficult the trials given to him, the stronger he will become. “If he’s about to die, I’ll save him, but other than that, I won’t care.”

“That’s it, but Prach, you have to be careful too. Even though I have become stronger, I don’t know where or when something will happen.”

“I know. The fact that people die easily……. That’s why I desperately need your help.”

“Once that happens, I will attach a black spirit to Ruslan’s side. So that we can keep an eye on him. “If he is in danger, I will be notified immediately.”

“Is something like that possible?”

“Because communication with the black spirit itself is possible, I. So don’t worry about that, just stick by my side.”

“Thank you. How hard would it have been if it weren’t for you…….”

For some reason, these days, I only seem to say thank you to Asti for meeting me. The only compensation I can give is blood and emotions, but will that be enough?

I think it is probably time for serious consideration. No matter how close a person is, what comes has to go.

“If you think so, prepare a generous reward.”

“What do you need?”

“Well. Time for you two to play together?”

“…… Time to play?”

“Okay. Neither you nor I have had a break lately. Huh? It is said that a person’s mind can become stable only when he or she gets adequate rest. “It’s the same with the devil.”

“Okay. “As long as this situation is over safely, we can drag this on for days and days.”

“You promised? Instead, other guys shouldn’t come. “Something like Lina Lislaine or Nea.”

“Okay. But is there a place to play?”

“You just have to think about it at that time. If not, you can wait for the festival.”

That was correct. It’s just a matter of getting the timing right. There isn’t much for me to do after the demonic flood.

It’s my job to only have to worry about chapter 1 and the final chapter later, so I don’t have to worry about anything for the time being, so it can be said to be leisurely.

My father has returned. My father spoke to me with a stern face.

“Prah.”

“Yes.”

“His Majesty the Emperor ordered the academy students to be mobilized to deal with this demonic flood situation. That means… ….”

“It would mean that I too would have to participate in the battle.”

“Yes.”

My father looked at me with very worried eyes.

“Don’t worry too much. “You’re not going to force the students into death, are you?”

“Still, we don’t know what might happen, so let’s attach at least an escort. “All other personnel will have to pay attention to protecting the system.”

“I will keep this in mind.”

“We will gradually gather students at the academy. We will organize a temporary unit there. “The knights will be stationed there as well, so don’t get too far away from the knights and escorts.”

“Yes, father. Don’t worry too much. Rather, shouldn’t your father participate in the battle?”

“I am not weak enough to be defeated by those magical beasts.”

“Still, take care of yourself.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

After hearing various things to be careful about from my father, I headed to the academy with Asti. The academy was crowded with students, but everyone had grim expressions.

It’s only natural since we have to go to war right now.

“The atmosphere is not good.”

“I have to fight demonic beasts soon, so the atmosphere can’t be good. You probably thought that because you were a student, you would be warmly protected. “This time, you will thoroughly realize that that thought was a mistake.”

Asti nodded her head at my words.

“But you won’t let me die, right?”

“If it’s within my reach, I have to get it. “Almost half of them are civilians.”

“It’s the same for you too, right?”

“I have you. It is said that a capable and powerful high-ranking demon is protecting me, so why should I be anxious? And because I ate the heart of a dragon, I’m pretty confident now.”

“If you can’t even talk… …. Anyway, don’t let your guard down.”

“I know. “I know it better than anyone else.”

I soon realized that this was not just a battlefield in a novel. Since the last time my shoulder was shattered, I’ve always had it in my head that if I make a mistake, I could die.

So, I hope things go as planned this time too. Because the heart of the dragon was eaten for that purpose.
