"Wait, does that mean... the start of the academy means Victor will go back to work?"
Erica was even more confused, tilting her head to look at Kokot, who looked utterly desperate.
"Shouldn't this... be common sense?"
"..."
She buried her head directly in the clouds, looking utterly resigned to her fate.
Because Koko suddenly realized that she had agreed to become Victor's teaching assistant.
But Viktor only told her that the college would be on holiday in a few days, and then she wouldn't have to work.
However, Victor never told her.
The college will open!
"...How about I think of a way to blow up your college?"
Please, please don't do that.
...
Viktor stood atop a tall tower, gazing into the distance.
The howling wind made his black trench coat, covered in white patterns, rustle loudly.
This is the first front line of the Demon Rift, at the border of the Empire's city walls.
He bypassed the soldiers guarding the city and arrived at the top of the tower.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the desolate landscape in the distance.
After a long while, the sound of wings flapping through the air rang in Victor's ears.
A black raven slowly flew down from the gloomy sky, circled twice in the air, and then naturally landed on Victor's shoulder.
"I'm exhausted."
As soon as Vega landed on Viktor's shoulder, he started complaining.
It never imagined that the monster rift was so far from the front lines.
If it wanted to come here as an inconspicuous crow, it would have to rely on its wings to fly back.
"However, we did get some good stuff."
"What is that?"
Viktor didn't look at it, but simply asked indifferently.
Vega grinned and chuckled.
"Would you like to grow wings or a tail or something? Trust me, my surgeries are always successful; I've never failed."
"Because I've never tried it even once."
A slight cool breeze blew around, and before they knew it, even the city guards who were far away felt a chill.
Obviously, this lame joke isn't funny.
Even the soldiers who couldn't hear Vega's words felt a chill.
Victor didn't say anything, turned around and left with Vega.
A crow perched on his shoulder, chuckling.
"Sometimes I really think you're a pretty humane guy."
Despite Vega's seemingly complimentary words, Victor remained expressionless and continued walking down the stairs.
"How so?"
"After all, you came all the way to pick me up."
Their steps didn't stop, only slowed down slightly.
"I'm afraid some birds will fly on and then lose their way back."
"You're right, but I'm not a crow."
A gust of wind swept across the sky, blowing out layers of clouds from the dark and gloomy sky.
...
A few days later, news spread throughout the empire.
The powerful monster that appeared in the northern border of the empire is a monster that resembles a dragon.
It flew to the south of the empire and was killed by Victor Clavner, a fourth-tier mage of the empire and the current councilor of the mage capital.
They easily averted a crisis in the south of the empire.
Throughout the entire incident, only the army led by the second prince was destroyed.
The second prince was seriously injured and was recuperating.
Meanwhile, Victor Clavner, one of the parties involved in the incident, was currently in the southern part of the empire.
Here, there are big news stories about Viktor every day.
The demi-human team led by Princess Aurelion entered the monster rift and performed exceptionally well among the adventurer teams, achieving remarkable feats.
They even defeated the leader of the thirtieth level of the abyss.
This led to a sustained surge in interest in the Ajin team.
The status of demi-humans within the empire was as low as that of slaves.
The fact that the princess was able to train such a powerful team using demi-humans caused a stir in public opinion.
At the same time, the Beast Guild, the strongest guild in the southern part of the empire, took the initiative to announce that it had officially joined the Clementine family.
In no time, the Clevner family was once again thrust into the eye of the storm of public opinion.
...
In the North, the Delin family.
The second prince lay quietly on the wooden bed, his body wrapped in bandages.
The crackling fire in the nearby stove brought him a little warmth.
He leaned against the bedside with difficulty, holding a piece of white paper covered with black writing in his hand.
The monster severely injured him, forcing him to recuperate within the Delin family.
It was supposed to be for recuperation, but in reality, it was no different from being controlled and placed under house arrest.
He read the newspaper, his eyes slowly scanning over it.
Upon witnessing Viktor slay the black dragon, the Second Prince's pupils suddenly contracted.
It was as if I had witnessed something utterly unbelievable.
"Oh, reading the newspaper?"
A voice reached his ears.
The second prince followed the sound.
Kefla was leaning against the doorway, tilting her head and looking at him with a smile.
"Nothing is impossible, after all, he's my brother-in-law."
The second prince chuckled softly, put down the newspaper in his hand, and then sighed deeply:
"Young lady of the Delin family, what will it take for you to let me return to the capital?"
"That's easy."
Kevlar narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of danger:
"Tell me, about your body,"
"Why does it carry the aura of a demon?"
