This was because she had already accumulated enough points, and her head was filled with thoughts about the demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she was a person who had no interest in other people. She didn’t even know who the student with Grade E mana was, and didn’t even try to find out until the story of ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱ was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t have any doubts about the fact that I, a Grade E, was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it was worth betting that she didn’t care about weaklings like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hid the Cloak of Disguise in a pile of grass and headed back to the place where I had fought Pernicus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>━─━─━━─━「₪」━━─━─━─━\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce required some time to collect her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster that just left was strong enough to crush the demon, who Luce struggled against, with one strike. Common sense told her she shouldn’t be caught or chased by a monster that strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the madness and hostility he exuded had been directed at her, it would have led to irreversible and disastrous consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Luce mustered the courage to stop the monster just once. It was because she wanted to ask for its name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she regretted doing such a foolish thing. Anxiety swept over her at the thought of fighting the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the monster quietly left.

However, not knowing what to properly call it, she decided to call it ‘Greung’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What is its true identity…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce posed a question. It was still impossible to know at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then heard the rustling of grass. It came from the direction that the monster had left in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that ‘Greung’ had returned? Luce took a quick look at the direction of the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…It wasn’t.

She didn’t have time to worry about a frail-looking guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To- top…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s noisy, don’t make a fuss and just go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he notice her frowning expression? The student with blue-silver hair crept back with a terrified face as if he had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he quickly got up and started running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce looked at Ian, who was still unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like he would be fine, so she walked away, leaving Ian unattended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footnotes:\u003C\u002Fp>",2262,"2026-06-05T21:55:37.647Z",1,"novelbin.me","25e3f478955b96c3205d9847f031b20a6a4887a463ea3edb42687d303a4f80b4","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-69","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-68",377,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-cover.jpg"]
