The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you, don't be too disrespectful. So what if you can achieve military exploits on the front line? What about heroism, what about honor? In the face of power, they're just spiders, you get what I mean? Even if you make some incredible achievements, in the end, won't you just be transferred back to Demon City—"

Luo Yan coughed, interrupting her monologue.

"I've already decided what I want to do."

"The reason I came to this academy is to become the Demon King."

Mia was stunned, her mouth forming an 'o' shape.

It wasn't just Mia, even Rumi, who was playing with a nail clipper, and the Flamedemon who was beating up Mckinley stopped their actions and stared at him with disbelief.

Aiming to become the Demon King...

Has this guy gone mad?!

Standing in the corner, Egger looked at that towering figure with admiration and quietly gave a thumbs up.

That's my senior!

That's just too cool!!!

Luo Yan intended to recite a few verses of poetry, but remembering he had done so the day before, he decided not to and simply shifted his gaze away.

However, Mia wasn't ready to let him off that easily; the shock on her face was akin to having swallowed an entire Messenger Bat whole.

"Are you insane?! Going to the front line?! And to become the most hated Demon King?! Do you know the methods humans use to torture demons?! If they catch you, they'll pull out your intestines and force you to eat them back..."

Ugh!

Are the surface humans that grotesque?!

Imagining the grotesque scene, Luo Yan almost vomited, but he managed to keep a composed smile.

In the three years at the Demon King Academy, aside from knowledge, the only other skill he had learned was how to keep a straight face.

"So, are you scared?"

Luo Yan took a step closer to her, for the first time meeting her heart-shaped pupils directly without flinching, and continued with a light chuckle.

"Professor Enos once said that fear is also a form of belief, so what are you, a follower of the Demon God, afraid of? Or should I ask, to whom are you dedicating your belief?"

Upon hearing these words, Mia's face instantly turned pale.

But that only lasted a moment; her beautiful face quickly showed a look of shame, and she hung her head in humiliation.

It was not just her.

Rumi, who was secretly watching this scene, Mckinley, who was being hammered down, and the other students... their expressions were more or less a bit embarrassed.

These second-generation demons from prestigious families actually care quite a bit about face.

Depending on their parents' protection was a reality of life, but which of them wouldn't want to make their own way in the world with their strength?

After three years together day and night, Luo Yan knew this bunch all too well.

Not wanting to push the Enchanting Demoness too hard, Luo Yan took a step back and turned his gaze to the podium in the great hall, speaking calmly.

"I only believe in the Demon God. Not only would I not fear the Knights of Saint Sis, even if I were to face Saint Sis himself, I wouldn't have the slightest fear!"

What he had wanted to say was 'even if I face a million men alone, I will go,' but thinking about it made him sick to his own boasting, so he decided to tone it down a bit.

At least half of his statement was true.

How could someone daring enough to buy a house in the Holy City fear the Holy Light of Saint Sis?

However, the classmates present didn't know that, especially Egger in the crowd, who was silently looking up at him with tears of admiration in his eyes...

Uh, something seems a little off?

Oh well, graduation is coming soon anyway.

Luo Yan quietly awaited the arrival of fate.

And not far away, Principal Ai Wen, who had just finished giving a speech on the stage, was proudly looking at the splendidly dressed Vampire Prince Caesar Colin nearby.

"How about it? I told you he's a talent, right?"

This Caesar Colin was no ordinary person; he is the current Family Head of the Colin family and one of the six members of the Demon God's cabinet—moreover, he's the most valued Minister of War by the Demon God.

The recommendation letter he wrote yesterday was sent directly to the desk of this former student!

The murmurs inside the great hall weren't anything like whispers to the Demigod-level duo.

In other words, all that rubbish Luo Yan spouted had already been overheard by the two.

Caesar, with his dignified presence, nodded, his eagle-like eyes intently watching the young man in the crowd, and after a while, he nodded and said.

"Indeed, he's a talent."

Although the boy only had Bronze-level strength, his ability to resist the temptation of a Silver-level Enchanting Demon, especially from both beauty and power, was commendable for his willpower alone.

Unlike his useless, disappointing son, who lost his soul to a woman whose lifespan barely exceeded a hundred years.

Falling in love with a priestess who had offered her soul to the Demon God...

The Colin family had never produced such a foolish lunatic!

Even if he wanted to help that fool collect the woman's soul and turn it into a Witch Demon or something else, it wasn't technically feasible.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and the angrier he got, the more he appreciated this ordinary-looking lad.

However, on second thought...

Why does this human look so familiar?

"..."

"...Must be an illusion."

Yeah.

It's an illusion.

Caesar stared for half a day and finally convinced himself he must have been mistaken.

Although he had his fair share of romantic encounters in his youth, he certainly did not remember having any affair with a human; at most, it was with a centaur miss, an Enchanting Demon, a Hell Mother Spider, a Nightmare Demon, a Flamedemon, an Emperor Slime... ugh, better not count this.
