The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 226: Popularity

The end of the semester assessments. It was the final stretch of the Year 2 Semester 1

The academy was eager to end the suspension of classes as soon as possible for the students.

So, immediately after my discussion with Emperor Carlos ended, it was decided that classes would resume the following day.

Before class, I contemplated.

Considering the Heavenly Beings, Fairies, and the EX-level variables, consistent training and growth were still vital.

This time, I had hastily learned the 7-star spell, [Icebolt], in preparation for the Abyss, which resulted in a somewhat superficial mastery of the spell.

It was necessary to delve deeper into each magic as an intensive course. It wouldn't be a bad idea to pursue mastery over other 7-star ice spells, and I also needed to hone my rock magic.

In this respect, instead of solely focusing on training, taking advantage of the prestigious lectures at Märchen Academy was beneficial.

This was why I had been diligently attending classes and became known as a model student.

For the record, I didn't enroll in courses that didn't help me with my training such as Magic Beast Ecology.

Considering the future, it would be good to take such courses, but I had to deal with the immediate challenge of the Evil God first.

The periods for courses I didn't sign up for were considered free time.

In other words, I only took courses that were practical magic courses. It was all about selection and concentration.

"I've finished something huge..."

In Elma Hall Dormitory.

I sat on the floor and leaned against the bed to relish the aftermath of 「Act 9, Alice Subjugation」, which had finally concluded.

The thought that I didn't need to be wary of Alice or the Phantom Cat Cheshire was a relief.

Now... no one can stop me.

However, the realization that I still had a long way to go pulled me back to reality. It seemed my mind couldn't fully relax yet.

I leaned my head back and laid it on the bed. Always looking down at books, the ceiling somehow seemed unfamiliar.

It was quiet.

Suddenly, Alice's face came to mind.

"I ended up kissing her..."

I was caught off guard.

I had noticed that Alice saw me as a man, but I hadn't expected her to actually end up kissing me.

Due to her unique trait, [Red Queen's Paradox], I was unable to read her psychology. Even though the effect had weakened since she became my subordinate, it was still difficult to read.

The stimulation from the kiss was stronger than I had anticipated. Perhaps it was because it was my first sober kiss despite a doubtful kiss with Dorothy.

Maybe because Alice had completely become my ally, I felt a deep affection built up from the time we spent together. That made the aftereffects of the kiss even more intense.

The blissful sensation of Alice's smiling face lingered in my mind. It was the scenario I had feared the most. This would definitely disrupt my concentration during training.

With no other choice, I sang the national anthem in my mind to calm myself. It was better to keep this as just a pleasant memory for now.

When the time came, I grabbed my books, writing tools, and bag and left the dorm.
