Kyle asked, his gaze regaining its composure as he seemingly organized his thoughts.

“The fact that you said that means you don’t plan on killing us. You must want something from us, then.”

“That’s right.”

I nodded my head.

What did I want from Kyle and Ray?

There were countless things.

If I were given a piece of paper and told to write a list, I could fill it to the brim.

But if I asked for everything, he might just tell me to kill him.

I pretended to be calm and opened my mouth.

“I don’t like your attitude.”

“What?”

“Remember that your siblings’ lives are in my hands.”

I looked him in the eye and shot out my ‘Killing Intent’ trait.

Kyle’s face turned pale and he began to tremble.

Then, Kyle narrowed his eyes and barely managed to open his mouth.

“……I understand.”

I smiled in satisfaction.

The situation was completely in my favor.

“There are two things I want from you.”

I spread out my index and middle fingers.

Kyle looked at me with a curious expression.

“First, I want you to use that device to send false information to the Imperial Academy.”

“…….”

Kyle’s face hardened.

He must have guessed what I was going to say.

But this was something I had to do, so I couldn’t back down.

“Tell the Imperial Academy that Sytan is planning to kill the third-year hero candidates.”

“……And you’ll attack the other grades, I suppose. I’ll never……”

“I know what you’re worried about.”

Kyle’s body shook as I smiled sinisterly again.

“What do you know?”

“You’re worried because Ray is at the Imperial Academy, aren’t you?”

“You really do know everything.”

Kyle’s face darkened.

The reason he had refused me so quickly was because he still didn’t trust me completely.

But now that I had revealed my knowledge about his sister…

He would have no choice but to trust me, even if he didn’t want to.

“You don’t have to worry. I won’t touch Ray. Of course, that’s only if you cooperate with me obediently.”

“……I understand. I will send false information to the Imperial Academy.”

Kyle accepted the first request.

However, the moment I uttered the next request.

Kyle’s expression hardened instantly.

“Resign from Sytan?”

“Yes, because there is something you need to do outside Sytan.”

“Me?”

Something Kyle had to do.

It was information gathering.

It was to make use of Kyle’s specialty as a spy and to gather information about the secrets and rumors in the Demon Realm and report them to me.

He wouldn’t be able to do those things inside Sytan.

After pondering for dozens of minutes, Kyle opened his mouth.

“Fine. I will grant you what you desire.”

However,

“On one condition. If you do not accept this condition, you can kill my sister and me for all I care.”

“Oh, and what is it that you desire?”

“……Write an Oath of the Demon God.”

Oath of the Demon God.

It was something that was only used when making important contracts.

A fearsome oath that could take one’s life if the rules of the contract were violated under the name of the Demon God.

However, it was worth writing.

‘I can just exploit a loophole in the contract.’

It wasn’t difficult to find a weakness in the oath and break it.

I would use that to add credibility to this false contract.

“Very well. I shall do as you wish.”

“Really?”

“Yes, there is no reason not to.”

Rather, it was like an opportunity to enslave Kyle.

Was there any reason to dissuade him when he was willingly putting shackles on his own ankles?

I was inwardly delighted for a moment.

But soon, I encountered a problem.

“However, the Oath of the Demon God is an item that can only be created by a mage who has reached a certain level. Do you happen to have one in your possession?”

“As if I would.”

“……How bold of you.”

“I merely stated the truth. And it shouldn’t be difficult for someone like you to obtain one.”

“…….”

I was speechless at Kyle’s words.

What in the world did he think of me to be able to utter such words without hesitation?

He probably thought of me as some kind of secret agent of the Bares family.

It was understandable, considering I could handle Gu poison, which only a few members of the Bares family possessed, and I also had knowledge of the human world. But...

‘Looks like I’ll have to find it myself.’

I narrowed my brows slightly.

There was no one among the students of Sytan who had the ability to create an Oath of the Demon God.

To find someone that capable.

‘I have to find one among the instructors.’

The instructors of the first year.

Let’s exclude Ares for now.

He’s a swordsman, and if I tell him that I caught a spy from the human world, he’ll suspect me rather than praise me.

So, the remaining people are Idea and Robolt.

Idea would definitely ask me how I found out about Kyle’s identity.

Even if she suspects me, the only person who would make the oath without saying anything is Robolt.

However.

‘Me and Instructor Robolt have no connection…….’

Or rather, we don’t have any at all.

I recalled a situation while thinking about such things.

He kept nagging me to visit his lab.

If I use that well, I might be able to do something.

“I understand. I’ll try to get it by today.”

“I see.”

Swish-.

I reached out my hand towards Kyle.

“…….”

Kyle looked at my hand blankly.

Why are you like this? It’s embarrassing.

When Kyle didn’t seem to be trying to grab it, I tried to pull my hand back.

Grab.

Kyle grabbed my hand and raised his body.

With this, the contract was established.
