The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 32: Duel - Interlude

༺ Duel – Interlude ༻

Fortunately, the plan was successful and turned out smoothly.

With Professor Fernando on my back, I stepped through the exit of the rooftop, and after I was sure no one was nearby, I carefully placed him on the ground.

I then took off the Cloak of Disguise and placed it in my magic pouch, and then carried him back down the stairs.

When I was certain we were close enough to the arena, I gently placed him in the hallway.

I took out 'firecrackers' from my magic pouch. Since I had to go around hiding my identity, I made sure to stock up on tools that would distract others.

Then, using a [Fire Generation] scroll, I lit the fuse and placed the firecrackers nearby. If the firecrackers exploded, the proctor or security guard who heard the sound would immediately notice and rush here.

After everything was set up, I ran down the hallway and headed for the window. Could it be because of the hellish PT performance?I jumped out the window like a stuntman and quickly ran away. If I couldn't hear the sound of the firecrackers anymore, then nothing more needs to be said.

I sprinted all the way to the first floor training room.

Since the aisles were wide open, I was able to enter naturally and blend in with the students.

A few moments later, I realized my plan had worked when I heard that Professor Fernando had been sent away.

I also heard that dueling evaluation was suspended, and it was easy to guess the reason.

Professor Fernando probably said something like this to his associate professor, 'If I do not come back for a certain period of time, stop the dueling evaluation and go up to the roof with the combat troops'. It was a guess I had made earlier, but I guess I was right. It would have been fine if I had just left him on the roof.

Still, I didn't have a choice. Unless there was concrete evidence, speculation was just speculation.

Anyway, let's consider the result. Things worked out the way I thought they would, right?

'Well, a good thing is a good thing.'

I didn't feel the need to overthink it.

Suddenly, an announcement was made that the dueling evaluation would resume after the truth of this incident was clearly revealed.

A few days later...

The findings of the Truth Investigation Committee's investigation were posted on the bulletin board in Orphin Hall, a dormitory building for the Magic Department.

The Truth Investigation Committee investigated the statements of those involved in the case, the traces of mana, and more. They were able to conclude that a demon appeared and was eliminated.

The person who played an active part was the suspicious individual who had appeared during the class placement evaluation. That would be me in the form of a black monster.

The details of the investigation were kept secret, so it was unclear who was involved in the case or happened.

In any case, it was fortunate that there was nothing about 'Isaac.'

'Now the atmosphere is getting worse.'

The atmosphere of the academy had sunk to an all-time low. Demons, who were considered once-in-a-lifetime natural disasters, had appeared several times in such a short period of time.

The students had repeated discussions about why demons appeared so often. Some suggested that 'It was just bad luck' while others believed that 'It's because people with high mana gathered together, which attracted the demons.'
