Chap 38: Self - doubt
He carried the boy like a box of goods, showing no compassion or tenderness, but if he had carried him like a princess, he must have been out of his mind, so carrying him like an object was the right thing to do...to avoid suspicion? Strangely, a fear of being suspected flashed through his mind, and he was even more bewildered by his earlier act of jealousy. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he decided to dismiss the thought and let the boy return to his seat while he continued lecturing. Iruma was distracted while studying, which caught his attention. He broke a piece of chalk in half and threw it straight at Iruma's forehead.
"Wo-ahh!?"
He gasped in surprise, then rubbed his reddened forehead. He looked at Kalego, trembling with fear at the overwhelming killing intent. Realizing his carelessness, he accepted the punishment.
"Iruma wasn't paying attention in class; today there's double the homework."
"Y-yes sir."

"T-teacher?"
"Talk"
"A-are you angry with me?"
Kalego and Iruma are currently sitting opposite each other in the office.He sat cross-legged, arms crossed in front of his chest, exuding authority, but he said nothing, only displaying a gloomy, unyielding expression that only led the boy to misunderstand him again. He couldn't help but speak first, his question blurting out, leaving the other man bewildered as he realized he was lost in thought. However, the other man pondered for a moment longer before pulling him closer, He questioned him in a suspicious tone, looking at the human before him.
""Tell me, what kind of magic did you use? Or what kind of spell did you cast on me that's making me struggle like this?"
"This... I don't have it. What's wrong, teacher? If you're not feeling well, you should rest and not teach."
Kalego initially thought the boy was so clever that he had misled him, but now, looking back, it's clear the boy knew nothing at all; perhaps he was just being overly suspicious. Seeing the boy's confusion in front of him, he felt a little amused, which eased some of his worries.

He hiccuped softly at the sound of his angry voice. Kalego didn't need an excuse; he could take him to the teacher's room anytime. He went ahead, and the boy followed behind, A profound silence enveloped the two of them. Was he really jealous of the students just because the boy was so outstanding? He hated that Iruma stood out so much in a crowd, He wished he could put him in a sack or a cage to keep him all to himself forever.
Wait a minute? What was he thinking? He's a teacher, and yet he's contemplating keeping a child captive as his own?He doubted himself again, doubting so much that he couldn't control the increasing murderous aura emanating from him, causing the people behind him to tremble with fear, thinking he was angry.

He looked dejectedly at the tall, thin man, feeling a little dissatisfied but resigned to studying, deciding that he would eat to his heart's content during the break. During break time, he didn't care whether Kalego called him back or not; what he cared about was the food in the canteen. Initially, he only intended to order a little, but unexpectedly, he was teased by the other devils, resulting in him ordering too much.His table was overflowing with food, making his two best friends angry and wanting to give it back to him, but when they turned around, they found he had already finished all the food.
"Thanks for the meal."
"What!?"
Although the demons had heard rumors about his appetite, they had never seen him eat much before, so they dismissed it as nonsense, But now they were so shocked that their scalps went numb by his appetite, as he had finished eating in less than 10 minutes.The other demons in the canteen were also amazed and surprised; they circled around him, looking at him with curiosity.The students kept crowding around Iruma, causing a canteen congestion that forced a teacher to intervene, and that teacher was none other than Kalego. He paced back and forth with a grumpy, impatient expression, shouting so loudly that the students scattered in a flash, Iruma recoiled at the sound of his voice. He didn't want him to take him to the teacher's office; he was only good at bullying him. He struggled to escape, but the other guy spotted him and, quicker than him, stepped right in front of him in just a few steps, Kalego's face darkened beyond words; he was angry again, thinking that the boy was causing more trouble or flirting with someone else.
"You, come up to my office."
"Y-es"
