Chapter 59 (2) - The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy
Samuel was already in bed, and I was able to organize my thoughts.
“Ha.”
I sighed and scratched my head.
Should I like it or hate it that the strongest woman in the Demon Realm is interested in me…….
For now,
‘I should review the other midterm exam subjects too.’
I opened the textbook for ‘Understanding Humans.’
And despaired.“……I don’t understand anything at all.”
Understanding Humans is the theory subject that I will be tested on tomorrow.
There were stories written in it that I had never known before.
As the author, it made sense that I didn’t know the subject of Human Understanding, but thinking about it, it was obvious.
For the midterm, I had to learn everything from human weaknesses to habits and psychological descriptions.
‘I guess I’ll have to pull an all-nighter…….’
I pulled out a chair and sat in front of the textbook, letting out a sigh.
It seemed wrong to sleep soundly today.
* * *
The day of the midterm.
I entered the classroom, rubbing my dark, shadowed eyes.
Luna, who saw me, spoke with a worried expression.
“Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“Your health is the most important thing…….”
I know.
My health is the most important thing.
But I couldn’t help it.
Because I had only focused on practicing magic and other traits in actual combat, I had neglected theory too much.
Thanks to that, I had to cram the contents of the textbook into my head all night long.
‘Fortunately, I succeeded in cramming thanks to my traits.’
Interest and Absorption.
These two traits shone brightly.
The first exam, ‘Human Understanding’, was completely in the form of memorization.
So, all I had to do was memorize the textbook.
‘I was originally interested in the human body, so it was easy for my Interest trait to manifest.’
One of the things I had always wanted to know was about the bodies of the inhabitants of the world I created.
Although the reason was to learn how to kill those inhabitants more efficiently…….
Anyway, I learned it.
‘Since I was interested, all that was left was to be absorbed.’
It was the moment I became interested in the Human Understanding textbook.
My head spun rapidly as it began to give orders to absorb the contents of the textbook.
Hurry up and read the textbook.
Thanks to that, it seemed like I would be able to get a good grade in Human Understanding.
“Are you well-prepared, Miss Luna?”
“Hehe, it seems a bit ambiguous. But I won’t fail!”
“That’s a relief.”
Luna declared that she would avoid failing.
I’ll have to see the results of the exam, but it’s probably not a lie.
She was a student who participated diligently in class.
If there was a problem,
“Miss Fron, have you finished studying?”
“Gasp…….”
Fron gasped at my words.
Even without her saying anything, I could guess that she hadn\'t prepared for the exam.
I scolded Fron.
"What are you going to do?"
"What do you mean? The theory subjects only account for a small portion of the grade, so all I have to do is do well on the practical exam!"
Oh, boy.
I sighed as I watched Fron, who was talking so comfortably.
As expected, she had no plan.
"Fron, isn\'t it the role of a leader to show the best example for the group? You should do your best on the theory exam as well."
"Tch..."
Fron glared at me once before returning to her seat.
Then she turned her head and stuck out her tongue at me.
It\'s like bitter medicine that helps.
I hope Fron takes my advice to heart.
\'Not only for that reason but also because there\'s a lot to gain from theory classes.\'
No matter how strong, they can\'t escape the human race.
Culture, habits, physical characteristics.
Even information that seems meaningless can become a hidden card that can turn the situation around depending on how it\'s combined.
Just knowing this can increase the probability of survival by 10%, or so it wouldn\'t be an exaggeration to say.
I\'ll have to tell Fron about it later.
The buff ability she possesses is very useful, so it was worth showing her that much goodwill.
As I finished thinking about Fron and was reviewing the human understanding subject,
Creak-.
The instructor in charge of the human understanding subject opened the classroom door and entered the room with a stack of papers.
Silence fell among the students.
"Put away your textbooks."
At the instructor\'s command, the students put their textbooks away from their desks.
After confirming that there were no textbooks on any of the students\' desks, the instructor distributed the exam papers one by one.
Then, the instructor explained the rules that must be followed during the exam.
It was similar to the rules of the exams I had taken in the present, so I didn\'t pay much attention.
Like that, 5 minutes later.
Ding-dong-.
The bell rang, signaling the start of the first subject of the midterm exam.
"The exam begins."
