“… …”
Guwar entered the waiting room.
Flick—.
He couldn’t meet our eyes and just lowered his head.
Was it because of the guilt of losing?
Or maybe he was ashamed of the fact that he had lost to his opponent.
Still, I didn’t feel like blaming him.
It was true that I had to step in because of Guwar, but it was difficult for a first-year Student to beat a second-year Student in the first place.
“Haha, this is going to be difficult. Imagine someone coming back after losing.”
Baltan teased Guwar with his signature bright smile.
Seeing him like that, my fists clenched naturally.
So Baltan didn’t lose.
It was different from Guwar, who lost because of the difference in their powers, but I felt even more betrayed because he was so sure of his victory.
But it wasn’t just the two of them to blame.
Since it’s come to this, there’s no choice but to step up.
Sigh… …
I let out a small sigh.
The screen already showed the second-year Student on the stage.
And the audience booing at me too.
Ares had silenced the uproar, but he couldn’t hide the audience’s hatred for half-demons.
I understand.
As the creator of this world.
As a descendant of Arsene, it was like a karma that I had to bear forever.
Half-demons were the ones who massacred them more than anyone else from their point of view.
So it’s no wonder they hate half-demons right now.
But,
That relationship must be improved.
…Because I am the only one who can prevent the tragedy that will happen in the Demon Realm.
And in that process, the help of the demons was essential.
Therefore.
‘…I have to show them.’
The criteria for the extra points that the Headmaster had set.
It was ‘proof.’
And the stage of that proof was open only to me.
『Arsene Adel.』
The information paper informed me that I was the nominee for the extra points.
And the word fairness that Baltan and Samuel had in common.
Extra points were only available to the top candidates.
It wasn’t something you could get just by participating in the inter-year competition.
‘…The closest to the top spot are me and Baltan.’
The Headmaster would have been able to see my and Baltan’s scores in other subjects by using her authority.
So she would know that I got perfect scores in all subjects.
The same goes for Baltan.
I know that Baltan worked hard to take the top spot this time.
The exception was Diana, who was deprived of the opportunity by not being able to participate in this inter-year competition because she used her powers indiscriminately.
Then.
Why me and not Baltan?
For what reason did the Headmaster choose me over Baltan, the undisputed strongest of Sytan?
… … The reason was easier to guess than I thought.
The Headmaster would have heard about my potential and power countless times from the recordings of the midterm exams and the testimonies of the instructors.
This alone proves that my value is not significantly lower than Baltan’s.
Decisively.
There was ‘one’ difference between me and Baltan.
It didn’t mean skill or talent.
Thump, thump—.
I left the waiting room, pondering the Headmaster’s intentions, and headed out to the battlefield.
I didn’t hear any cheering behind me.
It seemed like Baltan had already figured out that I was the nominee for the extra points.
Only Rene was looking at me with an indifferent expression, slightly worried.
… … And finally.
“Representing the first years, and the pride of our Class A, Adel is on the field!”
— … …
Idea’s voice and the students’ cold gazes poured out towards me.
This was the difference between me and Baltan, and the reason why the Headmaster chose me.
‘Race.’
The Headmaster chose me because I, this body, am a half-demon.
Hmph-.
I raised my head and looked at the Headmaster, who was looking down with a strange smile on her face from the stands.
She, with a physique that was hard to believe she was old, smiled at me.
There was a kind of greed in her eyes.
‘…I’m sure of it.’
Seeing the Headmaster’s face, I was convinced.
Baltan has the backing of the ‘Lycan of Envy.’
On the other hand, what about me?
Even though the Bares Family had proven my identity, I was still nothing more than a foreigner.
Did the Headmaster really not investigate me, who excelled in all areas in Sytan?
There’s no way she didn’t.
So the Headmaster would have been certain.
I am no different from a pet dog of the Bares Family.
That she would be able to subjugate that pet dog at her feet.
‘From the Headmaster’s point of view, there is no beast easier to handle than a half-demon.’
To her, I would be no different from an obedient dog.
A dog that wags its tail when you pet it, and rolls over when you feed it.
…The Headmaster would try to make me her dog by treating me like that.
She must have excluded Baltan, the Child of Envy, because she judged that he would not be easy to tame.
That’s why she created this ‘opportunity for proof.’
The overwhelming ability that I, a half-demon, possess.
She told me to show it in front of the audience who were ignoring me.
In other words, this test was the first bone thrown to the dog.
However,
I couldn’t just eat the food the Headmaster gave me.
In the original story, the Headmaster is the one who assists the next Demon King, Diana.
In other words, the Headmaster is on the side of Diana, who harbors endless hatred for Arsene.
So if it was revealed that I was a descendant of Arsene, she would definitely abandon me, who was raised as a hunting dog.
So.
‘…I can’t be eaten.’
The one being eaten.
It shouldn’t be me, it should be her.
If she had prepared boiling oil to boil the dog, I would gladly go into the pot.
And I’ll break the pot and scatter the hot oil everywhere.
The one being used.
It won’t be me, it will be her.
‘I am not a dog.’
I gave the Headmaster an emotionless look.
