Demonic Academy

Chapter 3

"As you can see this magic border separates us with the demons."

Yeah, no shit, what's his point? He's already stating the obvious. Actually, this border is also like the concrete wall between the school.

But this time it's magic, you're not allowed to go to the other side because it's a restricted. The magic might actually kill you.

It's also called the restriction border, no one goes here because it's restricted duh. Common sense!

Believe it or not, I'm a bit of a dare devil. It was my first time to go here and it was my first time to see it in person.

I only see it in ball orbs or book pictures. But seeing it in person makes me feel excited. Too bad, I wish I had come here sooner.

I could have studied this magic and know what spell was used to build this barrier. But of course my life is in exchange for that.

Maybe I'll be dead before I know what spell to do if my brother finds out what I'm doing?

"But now that the angel and the devil are united." He snapped his fingers.

And a person appeared on the other side. a demon! It's not my first time to see demons, it's just...

Seeing one closer makes me want to kidnap- this study! Study by the way hehehehehe. I mean I saw famous prince closer when we were fighting.

Case in point, I can't kidnap a strong as$ed prince, right? I mean you saw how strong he is.

“This is Lord Ares Rivery, the headmaster of Demonique Academy.”

"Greetings children." Welcome to the devil, he's a headmaster too? It's like they are the same age as my brother. "Now Lord Dasher, should we open the border?"

Brother nodded as a response. A teacher who was with us was given a box by my brother, my brother opened it. And he handed out a key? The design looks like an ancient looking key. Wait actually I think I read that somewhere?

Both brother and this headmaster raised their hands and at the same time stuck the key in both sides of the transparent border.

Then it opened, when the magical border disappeared. There we saw that there were also students behind Headmaster Ares.

They lined up like us. My eyes immediately caught him, the famous demon prince! Who would have thought that we would meet again in a short period of time?

Actually, I'm expecting to see him again in a few weeks destiny has a plan for me I saw him secretly looking at me. OH my god! he s remember me! I immediately smiled and waved.

He didn't react so I snorted, but a thought came in my mind and decided to mouth it to him.

'You should smile more, you're more handsome then!' I don't know if he gets that. I thought he would look away to avoid attention but instead he looked at me. I couldn't help but laugh.

So, he did get my message!

Unexpected reaction from an unexpected person. My brother would have spoken in case I felt something was not right around me?

Bloodlust? Huh? That's when I noticed that both angels and demons were tense. Since they have a history of being enemies before, this reaction is already expected.

Of course all angels and demons are on guard and both eyes are sharp. They are ready to strike in case someone makes a bad and offensive move.

I'm not really that tense, I sense danger when I sense one. Everyone is just too cautious and it's ok.

"Calm down." When my brother said that, the demons immediately settled down, but the angels were still on guard and ready to strike.

Demons are more obedient than angels. Seeing them today, they seem even more formal than the angels.

"No need to be so tense students. After all, angels and demons will be united." Headmaster Ares calming everyone down again.

Someone raised his hand to the demons, oh? It was the famous demon prince! My eyes immediately sparkled.

Of course all eyes are all angels, I mean he's popular afterall. Hmmm? I just noticed how many rivals I have.

I'm not the only one with sparkling eyes. I secretly frowned, angels and demons are not allowed to have a relationship.

Never in history did a demon and an angel get together or something. If there is, it's gonna be forbidden love.

Besides, it's not like this guy loves to be in relationships. Wait why am I thinking about the relationship? I don't have any plans like that either.

"Since we are here at the forbidden border, are we going to hunt?" he asked and we looked at our brother and headmaster Ares at the same time.

“Quick thinking Prince Lyford.” Headmaster Ares answered while looking at his brother. Brother smiled and nodded.

"Our plan is supposed to put both angels and demons in groups." Headmaster Ares added. Suddenly the whispers got louder. But mostly it comes from angels.

Demons refrain their voices as if they are afraid of being punished. Hmmm? Do they have strict rules? The prince also just had a poker face waiting for an answer.

"We want today's hunt to be fun. Since today is such a marvelous and a rare event..." my brother replied so that everyone looked at him.

"We decided that everyone will hunt in pairs." We all fell silent. What? “Angel-demon pair. The pair with the most hunts, wins.”

Everyone was amazed at what my brother added. what!?" Both sides shouted at the same time. My brother just smiled and headmaster Ares nodded.

By pairs?! Of angels and demons? Don't they think? It can cause casualties, but isn't this a rare opportunity for me?

I smiled playfully, finally another opportunity.

Nyphe raised her hand and looked at the demons. "Isn't this dangerous? No trust is formed here yet. Why decide such a risky decision?”

He asked and everyone seemed to agree. My older brother sighed.

"Actually, the higher ups already decided to meet and greet everyone at the academy first. To build trust..." he's closing his eyes while explaining.

"But it's such a waste of time, what if no trust can be formed within that time? How long is it gonna take to gain trust? Days? Weeks? Years?”

Then he opened his eyes and that's when my hair started to rise again. Even though he was smiling, his gaze wasn't kind at all.

"What a waste of time, so we all decided that this is the first thing we will do." brother continued to explain. "You are no longer children..."

"Be responsible, be mature. You have your own brains, trust who you trust and don't trust who you don't trust." His gazes were sharp.

It's really scary when my brother is serious, what he hates the most is whining and wasting time. That's why he became the headmaster because he rushed everything without whining and wasting time.

Once he has made up his mind. That's it, no change of mind and waste of time.

Not only angels were afraid of what he said, but also demons. We heard some applause from Headmaster Ares.

He was obviously calming us all down.

"Now now, what headmaster Dasher said is true. We should not waste time, what if something happens in the future and we are not prepared because we are wasting time... right?" Headmaster Ares.

My brother has a point, because no one knows what will happen in the future. There is a possibility that the corrupted species will attack in full force.

And we're not prepared yet because we don't trust the demons yet. That's why the two races united to subjugate our opponents together.

Hey, no one wants to talk anymore because of fear, I didn't know that the demon headmaster is also scary. It's like you and my brother just have a vibe.

"Today, we will go to the hunting ground. This time, it's a ground that hasn't been raided yet." After headmaster Ares said that, we heard several gasps.

A ground that hasn't been raided yet is obviously dangerous. Because we don't know how strong the species we are going to fight against is.

"Do not worry. None of you will die, we have medics ready. But please do expect that accidents cannot be avoided.” My brother is on Saturday.

My eyes lit up, this is exciting! I have never experienced the intense hunt before.

I don't know, but I'm bored with the corrupted species I've been fighting in my previous years here at the academy. Maybe because they're too weak?

It's my first time to experience in my whole years that I've been studying at the academy. I wish they had done this before, my life would have been fun!

"Like we said, we're going intense. This is for the sake of both races, none blessing users will also experience this of course.”

So according to their explanation why they did it. It's obviously understandable, but there are some first years who don't have any hunting experience yet.

"We're not including first years who don't have experience in the hunt yet. They will join others without blessing in the next activity.” -Headmaster Dasher.

"The activity will be held in a week by the way, so for now. Those with blessings will go first." Headmaster Ares added.

After the explanation, no one asked questions, because all the questions had already been answered. "So let's start? Who are the volunteers?”

I wanted to volunteer but Nyphe stopped me. He held me so tightly, I couldn't move.

"The first to volunteer will get to choose the partner they want." Headmaster Ares added. I like to go even more.

I managed to get away from Nyphe's grip but suddenly someone raised his hand- huh? It came from the demon side. "It's me!"

It was the braided haired girl I saw yesterday, I think I whipped her and she fell down on the wall. He seems to be ok so I feel relieved.

"Then it's our pleasure princess Lamia." I stopped when headmaster Ares said that. What? Princess?

My eyes widened, f*ck! I didn't know I whipped a royalty?! She doesn't look mad, right? Maybe someone is mad at me? But she looked so calm, maybe she doesn't mind what I did yesterday. He didn't even look at me...

Does that mean she and Prince Lyford are brothers? It's good that Lyford didn't get angry when I whipped his brother yesterday?

My first impression of my future sister-in-law was terrible- just charot. I have no plans to pursue the prince… but maybe right? There is a chance that EHE will fall for me.

But... why didn't I hear her as a princess? I didn't even know that there was a princess on the side of the demons.

I thought Lyford was an only child, hmm... well let's not judge right away. But this girl looks like the same age as Lyford.

Twins? Maybe not, they don't look alike. She looks simple and kind, always smiling and she also looks like a sweet girl "So who will you choose among the angels as your partner?" I'm snotty, hey. I would have volunteered if Nyphe hadn't intervened.

"Why can you look at me like that? You want me to poke your eyes out?” I immediately looked away. That girl is really bad.

“I will choose Lady Dethyria Javier!” When Princess Lamia said that, the surroundings suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at me.

"I-I?" I swallowed again and again, m-maybe she's really mad? Maybe he's not really kind and sweet inside?

He was smiling and waving at me. Sh-t he seems really angry about what happened yesterday. If only I knew that the one I fought yesterday was royalty.

Maybe I just let him stay to avoid problems... or it will cause more problems. Whatever, both results are trouble anyway.

I-it's such a pleasure being a partner of such a royalty." I commented with a smile, secretly looking at Lyford.

He seems calm about his sister having me as a partner. I mean, I thought he would react because of his brother's decision.

The kind of reaction like:

'What? Why him? He whipped you yesterday!'

Or 'You're choosing someone who almost killed you yesterday?'

Hey, it's a good thing that Lyford didn't have a reaction. I can't think of any more excuses ok? Especially when my brother found out what I did.

I'm sure he's suspecting me now but he has no evidence unless someone says something. No matter what excuse I make, he will believe what he said.

I walked towards the princess who had been smiling, I didn't know if it was real or fake. Too realistic ok?

I may be observant but... the smiles really look true. Maybe her smile is real, but we can't judge her just yet.

"Since we have volunteers, we're starting pairing up students." Headmaster Ares announced, so the princess and I were left here.

Oh my God, maybe he will ambush me in the middle of the hunt? But I can handle myself... the problem is I don't know his blessing.

I secretly looked at her, she looks cute especially her short horns as a demon. Of course with her red eyes too.

"Hi! I'm princess Lamia Kedron!” he happily greeted me with his hand extended, of course I accepted it like the elegant lady I am.

"Nice to meet you Princess Lamia. I'm Lady Dethyria Javier-“ I was surprised when he suddenly pulled me and held both of my hands.

"I know! I'm a big fan of you! Actually, I've been wanting to introduce you for a long time. I'm so glad I chose you as my partner." He interrupted.

"Huh?" he let go of my hand and looked at my wing, then he brought his face closer to mine.
