One True God

When Lucifer and Aldrich, the deputy headmaster of the First Academy, came into an agreement, Aldrich quickly ordered his son to escort Lucifer out.

Of course, they used the teleportation spell, the thing that they used before to get to the place where the deputy headmaster was located.

And since the two youngsters were now gone from his presence, Aldrich...breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haaaaa. What the hell was that?" Aldrich said as he began to shake his head.

There was only one reason why Aldrich was shaking his head.

It was because of...the feeling that he got earlier when he approved of Lucifer's demands.

The moment Aldrich agreed to Lucifer's demands, Aldrich felt his chest tighten.

He felt like something was creeping up to him, and there was an unknown pressure bearing down on his shoulders.

And ever since then, Aldrich felt uncomfortable as hell as if this was the first time he felt this uncomfortable.

Well, that was the truth as it was indeed his first time to feel THIS uncomfortable.

Right, even though Aldrich has lived a long life and had a ton of experiences in battle and life, this was the time that he felt most uncomfortable in a situation.

Even though Lucifer was already gone, Aldrich was still feeling uncomfortable about it.

It was as if...Aldrich is trapped in a bottle and he can't get out no matter what he does.

At least, that's how Aldrich felt when he accepted Lucifer's demands, and he still is feeling this way right now.

"Is this my old age acting up?" Aldrich said with quite the heavy tone in his voice.

He still couldn't believe how he felt this way even though there was no real reason to feel this way.

Although Aldrich sees Lucifer as a good seedling as well, it doesn't really mean that he would feel this pressure when he just accepted his terms.

That was why he didn't think that it was because of Lucifer, but rather, it was because of his old age.

It was then that Aldrich whipped his head to the right, where the window of this room was resting.

The window was closed, but when Aldrich looked at it, the window immediately opened by itself.

Of course, that was thanks to Aldrich's power and magic that opened the window.

And when Aldrich could see the outside, he murmured.

"Headmaster...when the fuck are you coming back?"

And it was in this way that the deputy headmaster of the First Academy met the Hell God of the past, Lucifer.

****

Lucifer and Aldrich's son were currently walking together outside of the...entrance examination site.

Right, they didn't go back to that site as their destination right now was the place where Lucifer...would live.

In other words, the First Academy's dorm.

And while they were walking, Aldrich's son spoke without looking at Lucifer.

"Since you are scouted, even if you are at the lowest class of the First Academy, you would still receive the benefits of being in the top class."

"Of course, you can't just go around and tell people that you are receiving the benefits of being in the top class. So, be careful about that."

"The benefits would also be toned down a little bit as people might be suspicious about why you are getting them, alright, pretty boy?"

Aldrich's son said but he was not done as he stopped walking and turned around to look at Lucifer.

Of course, when he turned around to look at Lucifer, Lucifer stopped walking.

It was then that Aldrich's son brought up his right hand for a handshake from Lucifer.

"My name is Amrich Meisar, I am the son of the deputy headmaster of the First Academy, and am currently enrolled to the First Academy myself."

"Sorry if I kicked you back then. That was how I was supposed to treat you as there were other witnesses, pretty boy...no, Lucis."

And when Lucifer heard that, he quickly took the handshake as he spoke.

"Lucis Ferre. It's fine, it didn't hurt too much, thanks to that pretty girl's healing." Lucifer said as he introduced himself.

Their handshake didn't last for more than a second as Amrich took his hand off as he turned around again.

He then continued to walk, and Lucifer, too, continued to walk.

And while they were walking, Lucifer...had a thought about the man right in front of him.

'The son of the deputy headmaster is enrolled in the First Academy, but they are still worried about not making it into the tournament...?'

A deputy headmaster of a demon academy should be strong. In this case, the deputy headmaster of the First Academy was abnormally stronger than the norm.

Lucifer could guarantee that fact himself as he already met the deputy headmaster.

And now, his son was attending the First Academy. His son is probably stronger than the norm as well, and yet, the First Academy is still worried about the Demon Festival?

That's definitely weird. After all, Amrich should be able to push things through for the First Academy.

His strength should be enough...no, more than enough for the Demon Festival.

How come...they were still trying to scout demons that they were basically giving free chips to them, even though they already got a strong student?

'Weird. This situation about the First Academy definitely smells more than what I like.' Lucifer thought as he continued walking.

However, it seems that Lucifer couldn't think about that anymore as the First Academy came into view.

And when Amrich saw it, he quickly spoke as he pointed it to Lucifer.

"Look, that is the First Academy."

Of course, when Lucifer looked in the direction that Amrich was pointing at, and his eyes...soon became wide.

Lucifer's first impression about the First Academy was that...it would be just a pathetic little school.

After all, that was what he heard when he first came here.

However, Lucifer couldn't be more wrong about that as his eyes witnessed it.

With gates that were so big that even Lucifer couldn't see the end of it, there were several people standing around the door stuck to that gate.

And these several people all had the same uniform. Although Lucifer thought that they were students of the First Academy, he soon found out that they were actually the guards of the gate.

However, the marvelous things don't end with just that as Lucifer could see the buildings beyond the gate.

One, two, three...there were a lot of buildings of high stature that Lucifer couldn't even count them.

Even though Lucifer was from the past, he still knew that these buildings were really for important purposes.

He knew that these buildings would only be owned by important figures in society.

That was why Lucifer had his eyes wide open right now as he looked at the First Academy.

After all, he didn't expect that the First Academy would have something like this.

It was a huge difference to the First Academy that Lucifer once thought of when he first heard about them.

It was then that Amrich laughed out loud as he looked at Lucifer's face.

"Hahahaha! I'm just kidding! That's not the First Academy's buildings!"

"That's one of the big academies in the capital city of Zacharath Kingdom, Weapons Maker!"

And when Lucifer heard that, the excitement on his face...quickly became wiped out as he didn't appreciate this kind of joke.

After all, he truly did get his hopes up when he saw something so grand.

However, to think that it would be just brought down...unforgivable!

Lucifer thought, but he didn't voice it out loud for obvious reasons.

It was then that Amrich spoke once more.

"Follow me, the real First Academy is just right around the corner now."

He then continued to walk as he turned right. Of course, Lucifer followed right after him.

However, Lucifer was in a foul mood right now as he just got pranked on.

He certainly didn't appreciate something like that, and even anger was evident as veins were bulging on his hands right now.

Of course, Lucifer was soon able to calm down as he walked together with Amrich.

After all, it's not like he could just kill this piece of shit or something like that.

He definitely can't do something like that when things were finally getting started and he was able to get inside the First Academy without any real problems except for the fact that he had to act around people.

That was why Lucifer just calmed himself down.

And it seems like they finally reached their destination as Amrich spoke as he stopped walking.

"Here we are."

Of course, Lucifer was able to hear that, and that was why he quickly whipped his head towards the location that Amrich was looking at.

And as soon as he did, he...thought that it was as...expected.

There were a couple of buildings, but it definitely looked dull compared to the Weapons Maker's buildings.

There were some other factors to take in such as the magnificent entrance, but...it definitely didn't look like an exciting academy to be part of.

Of course, Lucifer didn't quickly assume that this was the First Academy as he didn't trust Amrich anymore.

However, it seems that Amrich was no longer kidding as he spoke while nodding his head.

"That's right. This is the First Academy."
