Chapter 99 (1) - The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy



I couldn\'t help but stiffen at Fron\'s rank that was revealed next.

She\'s 1st place.

I couldn\'t hide my bewilderment.

And for good reason—Fron had pushed aside all the other Sytan students and proudly taken the 1st place spot.

Of course.

\'......It\'s not a bad situation.\'

The emergence of a new top student.

It meant that Baltan\'s interest would shift from me to Fron.

It was certain.

Baltan was the type of guy who would be \'jealous\' of someone stronger than him.

He would probably start picking fights with Fron without a second thought.

In that sense, I didn\'t regret losing 1st place in the slightest.

It was a position I didn\'t need in the first place.

However.

On the other hand, a worrisome thought suddenly popped into my head.

\'If Fron is 1st place, that means….\'

[ Weaponry ]

[ Human Understanding ]

[ Magic ]

[ Practical ]

She must have gotten perfect scores, or something close to it, in all four subjects.

In my case, I lost a lot of points in Human Understanding.

It couldn\'t be helped.

Since I already knew everything about humans, I could easily write it down.

That was a big deal.

For Sytan students, questions about humans would be difficult.

On the other hand, I wasn\'t very good at answering questions about the Demon.

It was only natural, since the settings hadn\'t been properly described.

And it was also something I had intended to some extent.

Even now, there were times when I was met with harsh gazes because I was half-Demon.

If I had taken the top spot, many Demon students, including Baltan, would have come to challenge me.

For me, who needed to be careful in my actions, the \'4th place\' ranking was perfect.

But,

I wonder if it\'s really okay.

[Whew….]

Samuel\'s groaning voice.

He seemed to be having a hard time accepting the fact that Fron had taken the top spot.

Well, I felt the same way.

\'......Fron must have gotten a perfect score in Practical.\'

Fron, Samuel, and I all definitely got perfect scores in Practical.

While Samuel and I had fought for our lives, it was true that Fron\'s position seemed less advantageous.

However,

From the perspective of the instructors who knew exactly about \'war\', they couldn\'t have given a low score to Fron, who had faithfully carried out the role of commander.

\'I couldn\'t help but admit it.\'

After repelling Terius in the human realm, I felt extremely exhausted.

It was because of the heavy wounds and the burden of having to lead the students.

The lives of twenty students rested in my hands.

If we had been overwhelmingly strong, it would have been different...

...but it was clear that we were the prey in that situation.

The students and I relied too heavily on Fron, and we must have burdened her tremendously.

So I didn\'t have the slightest thought of denying the results of Fron\'s efforts.

Rather, I should be expressing my gratitude.

The same goes for the magic exam.

It\'s true that Samuel and I displayed the most excellent stealth skills.

Our stealth skills were beyond perfect.

However.

Fron displayed stealth skills that were exactly at the level of the stealth skills that Robolt had set as the perfect standard.

Unlike the practical exam, the magic exam had a set \'standard\', so this would also be a perfect score.

That said, Robolt couldn\'t have given us a higher score than a perfect score.

So I can\'t deny the fairness of the two perfect scores in the exam subjects.

But there was a reason why I couldn\'t accept the fact that Fron was in first place.

\'Didn\'t she hit rock bottom in the Human Understanding and Weaponry exams?\'

Fron is an idiot.

I\'m not saying that with malicious intent, but her level of knowledge is really low compared to Luna or Samuel.

Fron always falls asleep in class.

Besides, didn\'t she get beaten up by Ares in the Weaponry exam?

Let\'s put aside her Human Understanding score for now.

There\'s one thing I can assume.

\'...Ares\' Weaponry exam can be retaken once.\'

It was a test prepared for the aggressive students.

Students who felt they hadn\'t shown their true skills could challenge Ares again.

However, there was a penalty of being evaluated with a slightly higher standard.

If Fron had gotten a perfect score there,

It meant she got a perfect score on the retake.

However, it was strange

‘Fron couldn\'t even kill a human who couldn\'t move.’

Then.

How did she get a perfect score on the Weaponry exam?

Support-type students like Luna get bonus points for their stamina in the Weaponry exam.

However, no matter how excellent her stamina was, she couldn\'t get a perfect score.

So that means Fron was hiding some kind of power.

Then.

Why didn\'t she show her power in front of us?

It was strange.

The more I thought about it, the more questions I had.

...Fron, how would she react to getting a perfect score?

Swish-.

I turned my gaze back.

But.

Thinking about Fron\'s usual personality, her face would be drunk with pride and she\'d be bragging loudly.

“…….”

I could see that it was filled with complex emotions.
