The moment I walk into the System Basics course, I find a few familiar faces there. For one, Belle is sitting in the back, and she waves at me the moment she sees me. And for two, several of the stronger people that I fought during the tournament are in the class. Such as that Drake guy who was breathing fire and could cover his arms with scales, along with that Sentinel guy with his Divine Retribution magic. I can’t help but raise an amused brow when I see Drake visibly flinch at the sight of me before…-

After making it past the guards at the gate – who all send confused looks towards Tar for being out in broad daylight sitting on my shoulder – I head straight towards my suite. And after entering it, I go to my room and then closet to change into gym clothes to train in. Only for Tar to offhandedly mention how pointless that was when I’m literally walking around in my magi-tech armor, not having bothered ever deactivating it except for when I went to bed last night. Oops. I turn back around and…

“Now, many of you should have noticed by now that demons often follow certain patterns in the Fractures. That’s because of their instincts, or what we demonologists often refer to as their demonic instincts,” the professor for my Demonology class – one of the core classes for first years for obvious reasons – explains while walking up and down the various aisles of the half-circle shaped classroom, her heels clicking on the tile floor every time she goes down a step. “We don’t know why demons…

The area around the Demon King’s palace is filled with battle-ridden wastelands for as far as the eye can see as Leonidas Val Art de Archeron – one of the four Demon Lords of Tartarus and the son of the Demon King – charges through the wastelands in his full beast form without stopping for anything. The man has the appearance of a massive werewolf standing at two and a half meters in height, with black fur streaked with the occasional bit of red as crimson as the blood running through his veins,…

Turned out that he’d already called for Belle as well, so when I reach the gate, they’re both there. Then we quickly make our way back to the base where we spend over an hour going over documentation and paperwork. Eventually we finish it all before he sends us away to go sign up for our classes. I decide to go to the cafeteria to eat one last time here before I fully move into my new suite, and it looks like the others had the same idea. “Scarlet, Belle,” Michael says with a smile as I walk…

“When are you planning on telling her?” Alfred asks as he watches from the reclining chair in the middle of the vast office as White’s eyes glow white while she watches Scarlet from her place sitting in the chair behind her desk. “It’s a bit ridiculous at this point, not having talked to or met the girl even once in her entire life. Don’t you think?” The woman – who is still wearing her outfit of a black and white pair of pants, a black shirt, and a black and red jacket – simply stays…

We walk over to a lounge area in the entry room before sitting down as Carol begins explaining to me the Top class student benefits. “Of course, there’s the living quarters and better treatment, but we also get the ability to take any classes we wish regardless of the year they’re meant for as long as we have the prerequisite classes already passed for them,” she says while holding up a single finger and leaning over the glass table we’re sitting around before holding up a second finger as she…

White? “How on Earth did your father manage to get Belle just shrugs and says, “No idea. I just know that he apparently struck a deal with her. Then the next thing I know, he started the Association and went on a business trip and eventually came back to bring me to an orphanage he had created in a Tier 3 city.” I blink in surprise, not having known that the Association was started at the same time as the orphanage. It also seems to confuse the others, but fortunately I don’t see any…

Carol ends up giving us a bit of a mini tour of the campus on the way to her suite, which happens to be on the other end of it. So as we pass by important buildings, she points them out. Such as the three different cafeterias – one for Regular students, one for Advanced, and one for Top class students – the main dorm area for the Regular students, which still looks quite nice, the main dorm area for the Advanced students, which looks even nicer, and several buildings along the way including the main…

Fortunately for me, everyone clears out when three particular students approach me. Carolyne, otherwise known as Rift, the guy I killed before who ended up still in the top one hundred but at a much lower rank due to that, and the other one who I saw fighting the two. Honestly, I could probably try to leave. But then I’d be at the mercy of the dozens of people who just left due to these three. And I’d rather face three people than all of them, soooo, I’m just gonna see what they want. Oddly enough,…
