One True God

Lucifer and the man who suddenly appeared in this place to take away Lucifer were now gone in the room.

This left the two demons, Rachel and Asgo, behind. Of course, it confused them, but...the two demons didn't do anything.

They just stared at the backs of Lucifer and the man as they left this place.

After all, they really couldn't do anything in this situation.

Rachel didn't know anything, and Asgo was someone who was told to act normal by Lucifer.

It was only natural that they couldn't do anything in that kind of situation.

Anyways, Lucifer and the man were currently walking even though they already went through a door.

Lucifer couldn't see any signs of the place being the site for an entrance exam.

There were no other students who were taking the entrance exam, and there were no examiners.

It was...completely empty. However, Lucifer didn't really think too much of it now.

After all, he just decided to make things simple now.

Besides, the man probably had a reason why he brought Lucifer in this place despite knowing that Lucifer had an exam to take.

However, it seems that their destination was not in this place as the man still continued walking.

He didn't stop at all nor did he ever hesitate to think about their destination or something like that.

In other words, the man knew where they were going, and he was really smooth about it.

Of course, Lucifer just followed him while having his guards up.

Even though Lucifer decided to just keep things simple, there's no way he would just let himself be guided to a lion's den.

Lucifer would thoroughly prepare himself, knowing that his powers were limited and his body was weakened.

'Hmm...it's clear now that this man doesn't plan to make me meet that old man or whatever his name is.' Lucifer thought as he looked right in front of them.

Lucifer could tell that this place was a hallway, and it was dark at that.

It was really strange for the man to bring Lucifer in here, and that was why Lucifer could tell that the man didn't plan to make Lucifer meet Professor Malbath.

However, considering that the man spoke of Professor Malbath's name when he was...'picking' Lucifer up, it was clear that the man heard of Lucifer from Professor Malbath.

Well, there was also the option or possibility of the man just stalking  Professor Malbath, but...that would just be too weird.

That was why Lucifer could tell that they were not going to meet Professor Malbath.

It was then that something finally changed in this place. No, it was just that something appeared right in front of the two!

And when the man saw this appearance, he finally stopped walking.

Right, and this made Lucifer stop, too. After all, he was following the man around.

It was only natural for Lucifer to stop when the man stopped walking as well.

"What are we stopping for?" Lucifer said as he asked the man in front of him.

Although Lucifer knew that it was because of what appeared right in front of him, it wasn't really that obvious.

Right, what appeared right in front of them was not that obvious as the thing that appeared was...darkness.

It was darkness within darkness, so Lucifer decided to play the fool where he couldn't see the darkness.

After all, it would be too weird if Lucifer had it all; a good body and sharp senses.

He didn't want the First Academy to use him as a tool or something like that.

After all, a student who is too good would be used for the academy's purpose.

What's more, the First Academy was dying down. It was clear as day that they would do whatever they could just to survive.

If they found out that Lucifer was...a little bit better than the norm, it was easy to predict what moves they would take from now on.

That was why Lucifer didn't want to stand out too much.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you, but what would happen from now on is an absolute secret, alright?"

"If you forget about the fact that this should be an absolute secret, then...your pretty face wouldn't be pretty anymore, pretty boy."

The man said as he turned his head to look at Lucifer. His blue eyes were exceedingly sharp as he spoke those words, and he was exuding some kind of aura as well.

That aura was there to pressure Lucifer so that the man would get the answer that he wanted.

And it seems that it was working as Lucifer had quite the excruciated look on his face as he answered.

No, Lucifer just...nodded his head as he answered. Of course, when the man saw that, he quickly whipped his head back in front.

"Good, follow me then." The man said as he started to walk again.

He started to walk towards the darkness.

Of course, Lucifer followed him with great effort and pain on his face.

Well, he had to act as if he had just been intimidated by this man.

Anyway, it was then that something...finally changed again.

And that was...the darkness that appeared within the darkness grew in size.

It became large and larger, and it had the shape of a...door. Right, the darkness that grew had the shape of a door.

'Oho? A teleportation spell.' Lucifer thought as he noticed that this door was a door leading to another space.

Of course, he wasn't that wary about it or something like that.

Teleportation spell would literally just teleport one to another location.

'A teleportation spell is hard to make...so this is why he said that this is an absolutely secret.'

As teleportation was a very convenient spell, it was definitely wanted by many demons and powerhouses.

Although one would be able to hire someone who could make a teleportation spell with money, having more than one was definitely something the powerhouses would want.

And if the powerhouses learned that someone could make a teleportation spell was in the First Academy, those powerhouses would do all they could to bring down the First Academy and acquire the one who could make the teleportation spell.

One would be able to understand why the man wanted Lucifer to keep this a secret just by this teleportation spell.

That was just how precious and useful the teleportation spell was.

Even Lucifer would have to prepare for days to make a teleportation spell.

'The method to create a teleportation spell is an open secret, but not many could achieve it.'

'Now, I'm interested. They say that First Academy is a trash academy, but they have someone who can make this...'

'Interesting...I must have this guy for myself.' Lucifer thought as the greed for the guy who could make the teleportation spell burst out within his encaged emotions.

Well, it was only normal for Lucifer to want the teleportation spell maker.

Anyway, the man then...walked into the door of darkness as he disappeared within it.

And when Lucifer saw that, he...hesitated a little. Although Lucifer was getting greedy and wanting to meet the maker of this spell now, he still knew that he had to play his role.

"H-huh...? What the..." Lucifer said as he looked into the darkness with wide-open eyes.

It seems that it was not only Asgo who had great acting skills, but also Lucifer as it was...truly believable.

It was then that Lucifer heard a voice coming in from the darkness.

It was the man's voice, and this is what the man said.

"What are you doing, pretty boy?! Just follow me, and walk! Demon damn it!"

Of course, now that the voice resounded out in this place, Lucifer began to walk towards the darkness.

And he, too, disappeared into the darkness just like the man.

'I can't wait to meet this guy...' Lucifer thought as he felt his body warping through space with the help of the teleportation spell.

And it was in this way that Lucifer...disappeared from this hallway.

And as soon as Lucifer disappeared, a new voice resounded out in this place.

It was a low, rough voice, and what it said was...

"What do you think about him? When I struck him down good, his body was fine. I think he's a good seed."

Right after saying those words, a figure appeared in this place.

And that figure was...the old man, Professor Malbath.

Professor Malbath was wearing a white robe that was obviously too big for him.

However, it was not only Professor Malbath that appeared here as another figure suddenly emerged from the darkness of this place.

It was an...old man. Right, and this old man looks like to be the same age as Professor Malbath.

This second old man was wearing a black robe that was also obviously too big for him.

This old man's name was...Professor Palpak.

Professor Malbath and Professor Palpak were friends, and they consider each other as rivals that they literally grew old together as they tried to best each other.

Of course, that rivalry ended up in some good friendship as they were now teaching in First Academy together.

"Hmm...if his body was fine after you hit him, then he's definitely good, but...there's something I don't like about him."

"He...smells."

Professor Palpak said with some scary eyes.
