The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Luo Yan's mother in this life was a servant.

Although being a servant wasn't bad, Luo Yan did not want to spend his entire life in Hell, even though he had the prestigious "Demon City residency."

It's true that there were humans in Hell, but it really wasn't a suitable place for humans to live.

For one, the "oceans" here were made of magma exceeding a thousand degrees, a mere wave of heat capable of raising a city's temperature by hundreds of degrees.

This temperature meant nothing to Demons and Undead, even Dwarfs could handle it, but for humans, it was lethal.

He had survived up to this day purely thanks to the Magic Barrier of Demon City.

After being teased by Professor Enos, Luo Yan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that the latter part of the lesson on "100 Brilliant Ways to Make Humans Scream" was a bit off topic.

At that moment, the bell for the end of class finally rang in the corridor outside.

Sitting in the classroom, the Little Demons sprang up as if starting a race, shooting toward the window while shrieking "Mine, mine," aiming straight for the cafeteria in the adjacent tower.

However, just as they were about to fly out, they slammed solidly into a Wall of Air with a loud "bang."

Instant Silver Level Magic!

Wall of Air!

Looking at the Horror Demon on the podium, Luo Yan's eyes filled with envy.

In the Aus Continent, both the Surface World and the underworld followed the standard from the First Epoch with divisions of levels.

The lowest was Black Iron (I), followed by Bronze (II), then Steel (III), Silver (IV), Gold (V), Platinum (VI), Diamond (VII), Amethyst (VIII), Grandmaster (IX), and Demigod (X).

Above Demigod, there was actually another level—the Near God (XI), commonly understood as being akin to a deity. However, in the underworld, this level was presumably only reached by the ruler of the underworld, the Demon God.

Moreover, each level had a five-star subdivision.

However, since experience and skill play a greater role in battles among the same ranks, the referential value of the star subdivision was limited, so it was not commonly used.

A Horror Demon capable of instantaneously casting fourth-level air magic...

Professor Enos must already possess the strength of a five-star Diamond!

By the way, Luo Yan was at Bronze (II).

Although his theoretical knowledge was exceptionally rich, always ranking at the top of his class at the end of each year, regrettably, his racial talents did not include Magic Power.

Just as the little demons with drooping wings were cussing and crawling up from beneath the window, Professor Enos stamped his foot on the podium behind him.

"Silence! I haven't dismissed the class yet! Get back to your seats!"

The noise was like an earthquake!

Seeing Professor Enos exert his authority, the Little Demons originally still swearing turned pale with fright, each of them swiftly scrambling back to their seats.

Watching his students sit back down, Professor Enos surveyed the classroom, cleared his throat robustly, and then spoke out loud with a powerful voice.

"Students, this is the last lesson I am teaching you. I hope you remember everything taught in class! Especially some of you, listen carefully if you want to save your lives."

Luo Yan felt, though he wasn't sure if it was his own misconception, that Professor Enos's bull-like eyes glared at him, causing sweat to involuntarily break out on his back.

The oppressive might of a Diamond Level Demon was not something a mere Bronze Level Undead Mage could withstand.

Moreover, his status as an Undead Mage was watered down.

Hearing Professor Enos's voice, all the various sized Demons and Undead in the classroom began to whisper among themselves.

"The last lesson?"

"What does he mean?"

"Has the summer vacation started early this year?!"

"It's not summer vacation that's been moved forward, you fools, it's your graduation ceremony!" Enos shook his head in disappointment at the group still muttering about summer vacation and continued with his powerful voice, "The adventurers from the surface are too strong, and we're running out of Demon Kings on the front lines, so this year's entire school graduation has been moved up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom of Little Demons burst into screams again.

"Awoo! Tear them apart!"

"I want to bite their ears off!"

"I eat brains!"

Little Demons are not High-level Demons, strictly speaking, they shouldn't even be in the Demon King Academy.

However, they are all nobles among Little Demons, naturally not to be treated the same as other Little Demons.

Although often Luo Yan felt that this bunch might not be as smart as the average Little Demon -- the cunning ones, at least, often survived a few more episodes.

Sitting in the back row, Mia raised her hand and stood up amid the gaze of other demons.

"But Professor Enos, we're just third-year students, aren't we supposed to graduate next year? Have you perhaps made a mistake?"

Enos glanced at her disdainfully and said coldly,

"Made a mistake? You're the ones who are clueless! This year the front lines are critical, so third- and fourth-years are graduating together... But you are luckier than the fourth-years, all the spots for staying on are given to you. Tomorrow morning, you don't need to bring textbooks, be on time at the graduation hall at eight o'clock, and at nine, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to guide you in filling out your preferences."

"You haven't had many practical combat lessons, you'd better pray not to be assigned to the front lines. That place is not for fun, especially given the recent situation."

The Little Demons all froze, including Horror Demon Rumi, who was fiddling with nail clippers, and Dream Demon McKinley, who was blowing cool air behind the Fire Demon, their mouths puffing up like balloons.

"How can this be..." Mia's eyes widened, her peach-colored pupils flickering with panic, her fair thighs trembling slightly.

This was the first time Luo Yan had seen her with such an expression; usually, he saw it on Egger's face.

Perhaps someone in her family knew about the conditions at the front lines.

But... was it really that exaggerated?

To be honest, although most students in this Demon King Academy avoided the job of Demon King like the plague, coming here only to garnish their resumes, he had actually aimed for this position.

The reason was simple... as long as he became a Demon King, he would be stationed near the surface.

This was his only chance as a human to return to the Surface World.

Although Luo Yan was well aware that things might not be so simple, it was still worth a try.

Even if the Surface World was dangerous... it couldn't be more dangerous than Hell, could it?

Here, a sneeze from a Fire Demon could inadvertently injure him, not to mention the Enchanting Demons looking at him hungrily.

Luo Yan had already decided, his first preference tomorrow would be Demon King.

As for how to serve as a Demon King, that was for the demons to decide.

After all, he would play it safe whenever possible, using little tricks and tickles instead of engaging with a forty-meter long sword, trying not to be seen as a threat by humans and not to attract attention from colleagues in the rear.

Just playing it by ear.

He might not be good at magic, but he was very skilled at shirking work.

Perhaps because he had been on the battlefield, Enos was very aware of the situation there.

Even though he didn't like these do-nothing scions, he still couldn't bear to see his students go to their deaths.

He knew all too well the demonic means of tormenting humans, as well as how humans tormented the demons they captured.

Looking at the group of stunned youngsters, he continued to shout with a voice like a bull.

"You have one night to write to your families... you cowards without guts!"

"Dismissed!"
