The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy

* * *

The hallway was quiet.

The afternoon sunset was spread out on the floor in a reddish hue, and the lush branches beyond the windows swayed in the cool breeze.

I walked down the hallway where I could see all of that.

At that moment, it was filled with silence, as if nothing would ever happen, and I liked that.

That was the feeling.

Maybe I was hoping.

That this daily life would continue.

That it won't.

That's why I tried, and I'm still trying.

But nothing changes.

No, did it change?

I don't know.

Because I've failed too many times.

'Hensel.'

She left quite a strong impression.

It was impressive that she, a Half-Demon, managed to gain Diana's support and said she would change the perception of them.

So, I felt like she was amazing.

'What would I have done?'

If I were in Hensel's shoes, what would I have done?

More importantly, would I have done anything at all?

Am I not being swept along even now?

By Adel, by the original owner of this body.

That's why I was in pain.

Because I felt like I was nothing.

Step-.

Step-.

I continued to walk.

It felt like I was walking aimlessly, but I wasn't.

I'm going to Idea now.

It's only natural since I said I would side with the Headmaster.

'The Headmaster, and Idea......'

What are their goals?

I don't not know the Headmaster's goal.

Actually, it might be more accurate to say that I don't need to know.

The Headmaster's goal is the same as Diana's, 'conquering the Human Realm'.

Then what about Idea?

'I don't really know.'

I don't remember much about Idea.

It probably means that she doesn't play that big of a role.

That's why it was necessary to approach Idea.

Because she might act as a variable.

'It doesn't seem like she has any great malice towards me, but rather feelings closer to goodwill.'

But even this wasn't certain.

It was just a guess based on observing how Idea acted towards me.

So it's a headache.

Because I don't want to kill someone who shows me goodwill.

'It's a ridiculous assumption that she would have goodwill towards anyone......'

A chuckle escaped my lips.

Actually, I couldn't really imagine it.

That Idea would have goodwill towards someone.

Isn't she the one who always says to get rid of anyone without talent?

She's a woman who shows a chillingly cold side.

That woman, goodwill?

It was a joke that wouldn't even make a passing Cerberus laugh.

But there was something that bothered me, so I couldn't be sure.

'Why does Ares act like he's on Idea's side?'

It was a well-known story among Sytan students that he and Idea were always together.

Some even spread rumors that they were lovers.

Even to me, the atmosphere between them seemed unusual......

'It's strange.'

Ares, in a way, could be described as an upright demon.

Although he tried to do something unreasonable because I had a murderous intent, I know that it didn't stem from pure malice.

He's closer to a 'good' Demon.

It's impossible to divide someone into good and evil, that dichotomous way of thinking, but even considering that, Ares is closer to good.

For such a man to show goodwill towards Idea.

'......I might need to look into it.'

I might need to find out about their relationship.

But that's for later.

First, I need to talk to Idea.

We have unfinished business from before.

Swish-.

It was a time when Idea wasn't in class.

Idea was alone in the faculty office.

I approached Idea and opened my mouth.

"I'm here."

"Ah, Class President! You're finally here!"

Idea, who was leisurely sitting on a chair and sipping a steaming, unidentified drink, turned to look at me.

I looked at her and said,

"You said you had something to give me."

"Are you talking about the task?"

"Yes."

I don't know much.

I know what Diana's plan is, but I need to figure out what the preliminary steps are.

To change the outcome, it's natural that I have to intervene from the process.

Idea glanced at me and gave me a somewhat sly smile.

"It seems like you're finally ready to do it properly."

"That's right. I also want to participate in that grand plan to destroy the Human Realm."

"Hehe, that's a good attitude."

And then Idea patted my head.

I was about to frown because it felt like I was being treated like a pet for some reason.

Idea smiled and said,

"Good. Class President, then I'll give you your first mission."

It's finally here.

I swallowed my dry saliva and focused on Idea's words.

And,

The words that came out of Idea's mouth were enough to surprise me.

"......Kill them. Those people. Class President, can you do it?"

The sight of Idea talking with a beautiful smile was like something out of an angel's dream.
