Chapter 6

The graduation ceremony!

The demons entered the hall in order of grade.

Luo Yan, carrying the crystal ball, walked into the auditorium and looked around, seeing many high-grade students he didn't see on weekdays.

From the temperament alone, the aura they emitted was indeed different from the first, second, and third-grade rookie demons.

They were not only stronger, more ferocious, more cunning, more burning...

And also more burning.

Perhaps perceiving his gaze.

A certain Succubus senior with less fabric on her body than a swimsuit suddenly turned her head, her chin raised slightly, and swept a cold glance at him.

That look was like looking at a bug.

Too late to identify what attribute this was again, Luo Yan quickly moved his gaze away and hurriedly turned off the crystal ball in his hand.

Two minutes of video should be enough.

If he recorded for a longer time, his MP would bottom out.

In this short while, the students of all grades of the Demon King Academy had taken their seats one after another.

Including Professor Lilisi, Mr. Enuosi, and other professors, they arrived one after another, and the entire auditorium was crowded with teachers and students.

"Quiet."

The solemn voice echoed above the heads of the demons, and the originally noisy auditorium instantly quieted down.

All demons cast their gaze toward the podium.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Principal Headmaster Aiwen Keluge of the Demon King Academy walked slowly onto the podium and began the opening speech of the graduation ceremony.

Roughly speaking, the content of the speech was to thank the professors for their work, commend the outstanding performance of the students during their studies, and look forward to their creating brilliance again in society or on the front line.

The voice of this old man who had lived for thousands of years was very kind, and he couldn't see the airs of a Demigod at all.

But his voice was also full of power, as if he were not standing in a school, but on the front line of the battlefield.

"... You are the pride of Hell, and the pride of the Demon God!"

"I hope you can apply what you have seen and learned in the classroom to the battlefield and bring fear and despair to our enemies!"

"One day, we will return to the surface with the flames of punishment and torture! Wash away the hatred of a thousand years ago and rebuild the glory of the Underworld!"

This old guy's excited appearance didn't look like a principal, but the demons in the auditorium were already excited.

Then the one who took the stage was Vice Principal Lady Duolin Weibo.

That noble lady who exuded frost and sorrow was like a walking air conditioner.

The moment she stepped into the auditorium, the temperature of the entire castle dropped by several degrees, so much so that the bodies of several Flame Demons became smaller.

That is a Sorrow Demon, said to come from the extreme north.

A thousand years ago, they retreated to the underground world with the forces of the Underworld... I really don't know how they survived in this place that is as hot as a furnace until today.

Lady Duolin's voice was very delicate and light, and the ups and downs of her voice seemed to contain a melody of reluctance, like a sad serenade.

Thanks to her, the morale that Principal Headmaster Aiwen had finally ignited was extinguished again.

"My dear children, especially the little ones in the third grade, as your elder, I am very sorry that I couldn't give you a complete campus life..."

According to the grapevine, Professor Duolin had a disagreement with the principal about whether third-grade students should respond to mobilization.

How to say it?

It is indeed a performance art for the Demon King Academy and third-rate schools to respond to war mobilization together, after all, it is obvious that most of the students here are impossible to go to the front line.

Luo Yan noticed that Miss Mi Ya, a classmate in the same class, had started yawning out of boredom, it seems that her family had already settled the matter of her graduation destination for her.

Including Lu Mi.

That idiot Fear Demon started playing with his uniquely shaped nail clipper again.

Mai Jinli was still blowing air at the back of the Flame Demon, but this time it was probably not for himself, purely because he was frozen by the "Frost Lady".

Very good.

Because the Flame Demon is also very cold now, that guy who looked like a rugby player finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and beat him up.

Just when Luo Yan was distracted, a sneaky voice suddenly leaned into his ear.

"Hey, honey... you don't want to go to the front line either, right?"

The hot air blowing on his ear startled Luo Yan, and when he turned his head, he naturally met the bad smile of classmate Miss Mi Ya.

"..."

Seeing this guy's usual appearance of facing a great enemy, Miss Mi Ya didn't feel discouraged at all, but was aroused by the desire to win or lose.

"Hehehe, I flipped through your information, you actually live in the temple? Really?"

"..."

"The Demon King Academy, although it is a place to cultivate Demon Kings, you should be clear about how fast Demon Kings die, right? Every year there will be a few unlucky ones assigned to this troublesome position. Who will it be this year? Who will it be?"

"..."

"I'll just say it straight, a miscellaneous magic caster like you definitely won't live for two days on the front line, but me, I happen to have some means to transfer you from the front line to the Internal Affairs Force~"

"..."

"Can be in the same office as sister~"

"..."

Seeing that Luo Yan was still indifferent, Miss Mi Ya's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and the bright smile on her face also followed and went out of shape.

"... Hehe, good composure, but this trick is useless on the battlefield. I heard that the knights of human surface are not only ugly but also very jealous. Seeing your handsome face, they might cut off your head and make it into a wall decoration."

"Hey, I said you, don't be too ungrateful, even if you can make military exploits on the front line, what then? What hero, what honor, is just a spider in front of power, do you understand what I mean?"

Luo Yan coughed and interrupted her self-talk.

"I have already decided on my preference."

"The reason I took the exam for this academy is that I went for becoming a Demon King."

Miss Mi Ya froze, her mouth opened into an 'o' shape.

Not only Miss Mi Ya, but even Lu Mi, who was playing with the nail clipper, and the Flame Demon, who was being beaten, stopped their movements and stared at him with unbelievable gazes.

Went for becoming a Demon King...

Is this guy crazy?! Yi Ge, standing in the corner, looked at that majestic back with adoration, and quietly gave a thumbs up.

Worthy of being a senior! This is too handsome!!!

Luo Yan wanted to recite a few poems, but thinking that he had already recited them yesterday, he gave up and just moved his gaze away.

However, Miss Mi Ya didn't let him go just like that, her stunned expression was like swallowing a whole messenger bat.

"You you you are crazy?! Go to the front line?! Still want to be the Demon King who draws the most hatred?! Do you know the means by which humans torture demons?! If they catch you, they will pull out your intestines and force you to eat them back..."

Ugh! Are the humans on the surface so heavy-tasted?! Thinking of that bizarre picture, Luo Yan almost vomited, but finally stiffened his expression and didn't move.

In the three years he had been in the Demon King Academy, apart from knowledge, the only skill he had learned was to be able to stiffen his expression.

"So what? Are you afraid?"

Luo Yan approached her by one step, for the first time looking directly into those heart-shaped pupils without dodging, and chuckled, continuing.

"Professor Enuosi said that fear is also a form of faith, so what are you afraid of as someone who believes in the Demon God? Or rather, who are you offering your faith to?"

Hearing this, Miss Mi Ya's face instantly turned green. However, that was only for a moment, and soon a shameful color appeared on that beautiful face, and then she lowered her head in shame.

Not just her.

Lu Mi, who was secretly watching here, and Mai Jinli, who was being beaten, and other classmates... the expressions on their faces were more or less unable to hold on.

These magic second generations from prominent families are actually quite face-conscious.

Relying on the shade of the older generation is the helplessness of reality; touching their chests, which magic second generation doesn't want to break out of their own world with their own strength?

Having been together for three years, Luo Yan knew this group of guys too well.

Not forcing this Succubus lady too hard, Luo Yan took a step back, cast his gaze toward the podium of the auditorium, and said calmly.

"The only one I believe in is the Demon God. Let alone facing the knights of Saint Saint Xisi, even if I face Saint Saint Xisi himself, I will not have half a fear!"

He wanted to say that even if there are thousands of people, I will go, but thinking that the boasting was too big and he felt disgusted himself, he just blew half of it.

At least half of what he said was true.

Someone who dares to buy a house in the Holy City, how can he fear the holy light of Saint Saint Xisi?

However, the classmates present didn't know the truth, especially Yi Ge, who was silently looking up at him in the crowd, even tears of emotion flickering in his pupils...

Uh, how does it seem a bit wrong? Forget it, anyway, he will graduate soon.

Luo Yan waited quietly for the arrival of fate.

And not far away, Principal Headmaster Aiwen, who had just finished speaking on the stage, was looking at the vampire Prince Caesar Prince Kelin, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a show-off expression.

"How is it? I said he was a talent!"

This Caesar Prince Kelin is no ordinary person; he is the current patriarch of the Prince Kelin family, and also a member of the six cabinets of the Demon God—and the most valued military minister by the Demon God! The recommendation letter he wrote yesterday was sent to the desk of this former student! The whispers in the auditorium were not whispers at all for the two Demigod-tier people.

In other words, the nonsense Luo Yan just said had already been heard by the two.

Caesar, with a majestic face, nodded, staring at the young man in the crowd with eagle-like eyes, and nodded after a long time.

"Indeed, he is a talent."

Although this child only has Bronze-tier strength, he can resist the temptation of a Bai Yin-tier Succubus, and it is the temptation of both beauty and power, just this willpower is worth affirming.

Unlike his useless son, who was hooked by a woman with a lifespan of less than a hundred years.

Falling in love with an acolyte who dedicated her soul to the Demon God...

The Prince Kelin family has never produced such a stupid lunatic! Even if he wanted to collect the soul of that woman and transform it into a Lich or something else for that fool, it was technically impossible.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he was, the more he appreciated this ordinary young man.

But then again...

Why does this human look so familiar?

"..."

"... Illusion, right."

Hmm.

It's an illusion.

Caesar stared for a long time, finally convinced that he must have just misread it.

Although he had many romantic affairs when he was young, he really didn't remember which human he had been with, at most it was some Centaur lady, Succubus, Hell Mother Spider, Nightmare Demon, Flame Demon, Emperor Slime... uh, better not count this.

If he continued to recall, he felt his old face couldn't hold on.

Time passed minute by minute, and the graduation ceremony finally came to an end, followed by the work of the civil servants of the Hell Internal Affairs Force.

Caesar and Headmaster Aiwen left the auditorium and went to other places to reminisce.

Miss Mi Ya got the invitation from the Internal Affairs Force as she wished, but looking at the letter, she was in a listless mood.

Lu Mi and Mai Jinli were the same.

The only thing that surprised Luo Yan was Yi Ge... this gentle-looking, usually timid boy actually chose to go to the War Department?!

Although entering the War Department doesn't mean he will definitely go to the front line, at least it is a place relatively close to the front line.

Yi Ge, holding the receipt, walked back to Luo Yan's side and looked at him with firm eyes.

"Senior, I thought about it all night yesterday and wrote another letter to my family... although my family didn't agree to me being a Demon King, they still agreed to me going to the War Department. I hope that one day in the future, I can bring reinforcements to your Demon King territory and fight side by side with you!"

No—

Buddy.

If it really comes to that step, it's better to have someone reliable, right? Like a vampire Prince? Hearing this bold statement, Luo Yan couldn't laugh anyway, and couldn't imagine how the soldiers on the front line would feel when they saw that the reinforcements were just a useless Bai Yin-tier male Succubus.

Seeing that Luo Yan didn't speak, Yi Ge put his fist on his chest and straightened his chest with a look of reverence.

"It was your courage that inspired me, I have already decided, I must be like you, become a man who stands tall!"

"Very good! Very spirited," Luo Yan patted his shoulder with a complicated mood, and finally didn't dampen his enthusiasm, comforting him.

"In short, don't be caught by female knights... no, if you have a choice, try to surrender to female knights."

If what Miss Mi Ya said is true, then the compatriots on the surface are too heavy-tasted.

He suddenly didn't want to run away so much.

"I won't be caught! And even if I am caught... I, I will absolutely not surrender!"

Yi Ge protested angrily.

Luo Yan showed a gratified smile on his face and patted this guy's motionless shoulder even harder.

Very good, very good.

Remember this momentum, it should be able to save your life at a critical moment.

Sending Yi Ge away, Luo Yan said goodbye to his classmates who had been together day and night, and then came to the official of the Internal Affairs Force.

That was a gnome wearing glasses.

Unlike the ubiquitous Goblins, the status of gnomes in Hell also belongs to "endangered species," and they are more useful than Goblins.

"Mr. Luo Yan, according to the opinion of the Cabinet... we appoint you to go to... uh, because that Demon King territory has been destroyed, so I have to trouble you to prepare for the re-placement of the Demon King territory core, as well as renaming the Demon King territory."

Facing Luo Yan, this gnome gentleman was quite polite, and his attitude was also very respectful, after all, this was the candidate recommended by the Cabinet.

Although he couldn't figure out why the Cabinet would recommend a Bronze-tier Necromancer to take over this hot potato.

Perhaps, the Demon God has already abandoned that piece of land...

Luo Yan was straightforward, picked up a pen and filled in a name.

"Let's call it the Graveyard."

He is a name-waste, and can't think of any flowery names.

Moreover, he intends to be a bit low-key, and the name is naturally the more low-key and ordinary, the better.

Although this name doesn't conform to the norms of heraldry and the naming tradition of Demon King territories, the Internal Affairs official just hesitated for a moment and still stamped it.

What does it matter?

Anyway, the Demon God might not care about that piece of enclave at all, and maybe it will be canceled after a while...

After all, that is the territory of the Kingdom of Lei En, the hometown of knights on the Taida Continent.

Even a Diamond-tier Fear Demon fell there, and he couldn't imagine that this guy in front of him had any chance of living. - (Thanks to "Kakarot from the Future" for the alliance leader reward!!!!)
