Satan, a narrow-eyed teacher who works under the name ‘Isaac’ within the academy.

He had just finished history class and was about to head to the teacher’s office when he heard a strange sound and turned around.

puck-!

“Pfft!”

The sound of a beating and a threatening scream.

The sound was so far away that others could not hear it, but who is Satan? He is the leader of evil and the pinnacle of the devil. He wasn’t one to miss the ‘um’ that was happening around him.

Just a little while ago, I heard all the secret ‘commotion’ going on in the back of the classroom throughout class.

‘Hoo? Is there anything interesting happening between the warrior and Oscar’s student?’

Satan, intrigued, immediately ran towards the source of the sound. As he left the main building and arrived at the back of the building, an unusual sight unfolded before his eyes.

In a quiet place where few people normally go, two boys and a girl were making physical contact. To be exact, the boy was assaulting the girl.

The boy, Evans, stood still with his back to me. His face looked very calm.

But the girl, Frey, was bending over and sneezing. Covering your stomach with both hands. Seeing that the clothes were completely wrinkled around the abdomen, it was possible to infer the source of the sound of the beating that had just been heard.

Satan is a devil, but he has been a teacher at the academy for many years. He reflexively blocked the scene of violence.

“Students there! What are you doing now?”

Satan’s words had an effect. When he shouted, Evans immediately put his arm around Frey’s shoulder and pretended to be friendly.

Of course, Satan, a veteran teacher, was not tactful enough to be fooled by the small change.

“Teacher? What’s going on?”

“Evans student, Frey student. What were you doing just now?”

“I was just chatting with friends about something interesting. Any problem?”

Satan glanced past Evans, who responded calmly, and glanced at Frey, who had placed his arm around his shoulder. She was trembling violently.

“Fray Student.”

“Yes, yes… ?”

“You look a little unwell?”

“Ugh… Well, that… .”

Frey hesitates to speak, as if his throat is blocked.

Pinch-.

Evans’ index finger pinched Frey’s side. Satan did not miss the scene.

‘Ho… ?’

“Oh, it’s nothing… I’m not in a good mood today… .”

“Because it’s not that good?”

“I was receiving a little support… town… !”

While speaking, foam leaked out from between Frey’s lips. She was sweating profusely.

‘With your eyes… ‘I’m asking for help.’

Frey’s golden eyes took on a desperate look. Because it is not said in the form of language, the meaning is not conveyed well, but a person’s emotions are conveyed through eyes and facial expressions.

“Ahaha, teacher. Why don’t you just go? I’m going to massage the warrior’s shoulders and then go in. Frey, are you okay too?”

Pinch-.

“Ugh, uhm… .”

Frey agrees with Evans’ words with words, but desperately asks for help with his eyes.

I’ve been a teacher for several years. Naturally, Satan sensed the subtle atmosphere between them, and also realized that Frey wanted him to be taken out.

But, in fact, he was.

Before he was a teacher, he was a devil.

“Student Evans, did you know how to do massage?”

“I learned a lot about various things. Teacher, would you like to do it someday?”

“I thought my shoulders were stiff these days, but this is good news. Then, have a good time at work! Frey students, if you feel very sick, please stop by the health room!”

“Ah, ah… .”

Satan bends his thread-like frown as if it were the tip of a whip, pats Frey and Evans on the shoulders, and then leaves. Frey looked at his back with a blank look, but Satan even whistled and disappeared from their sight.

‘A demon harassing a warrior! It’s true that we need to prevent violence on campus, but we can’t miss out on such a great spectacle!’

Smiling, with an invisible smile on his lips.

*****

“Wow… That teacher has a good sense of humor. I’ll have to treat you to a meal later.”

I pinched Frey’s cheek, whose pupils were shaking. Her cheeks were just as soft as Beatrice’s.

“Isn’t it? Frey.”

“… Damn it.”

“I think it was really bad news for our hero. Now, shall we resume the interrogation?”

At the mention of the word interrogation, a determination appeared in Frey’s eyes.

Are you planning on not telling me until the end? It must be hard to hold on, right?

“What information did you go to Sunspot to buy?”

“… Teachers.”

“What?”

“I went to get information about the teachers. Teachers here at Eden Academy, including Mr. Isaac.”

However, contrary to my expectations, Frey gave an answer obediently. Determination was everywhere.

what? Did I see something wrong?

Of course, it’s not always true, but it still feels uncomfortable somehow.

I moved my hand and placed it on Frey’s back. Excited, Excited. Her heartbeat can be heard vividly.

“Why about the teachers?”

“… Because I’m curious. Where and how did the teachers who will teach me in the future live?”

The heartbeat was constant. This means that there are no lies mixed in.

“Can’t I ask you about that directly? Why did you go to the dark sunspot?”

“If you ask the teachers, there is no way they will explain it straight away. I don’t just want to know about their achievements.”

This time too, the heart remains the same. Maybe it was because he was in physical contact with me, but it was a little faster.

“Well, everyone hides their own shame. There is no better place to know the details than sunspots. But I didn’t know Frey had this kind of personality. On the topic of warriors.”

“Because you are a hero, you have to be more thorough. Because I’m carrying that much weight.”

There was no wavering or hesitation in Frey’s words. It means that she just expressed the thoughts she always thought.

Was Frey originally this kind of person? Was he of such a personality that he even carried out a background check on the teachers who were responsible for his growth?

As someone who knew Frey from her past life, it’s hard to believe, but I can’t deny it because I’m currently checking her heartbeat by placing my hand on her back. Everything Frey said is true and sincere.

“Are you saying you’re not just a hero from a fairy tale? If you just sit still and grow, wow! And save the world?”

“… No pun intended. If you don’t have anything more to say, I’ll just leave it alone. Ugh… .”

“Hmm, I guess my stomach hurts a lot. okay. Just answer one more question and I’ll let you go. Instead, should I answer without a single lie?”

Frey’s complexion seems pale, as if he’s feeling sick. I put my lips to her ear and asked quietly.

“Why were you scared of me?”

“… .”

“No matter how hard I try to remember, I haven’t done anything to scare the Academy students, right? But why were you so scared of me in Sunspot? You were just shaking. ”

Excited, Excited-.

The heart beats a little faster.

The answer did not come easily.

“… .”

“It would be better to answer, do you want to be hit again?”

He thrust his fist in front of Frey’s eyes. She swallowed her breath for a moment and shouted urgently.

“Who was afraid of whom? The reason I tried to avoid you that day was because I was afraid you might recognize my identity! Because I am a warrior! If there is a rumor in the academy that a hero has been in and out of a place like a sunspot… !”

puck-!

“… ! Ooh, ooh… .”

“You’re talking nonsense. Is the heartbeat a decoration?”

My back, broken in half, screams. Frey fell face first to the ground.

The momentary shock must have caused the tension between Frey’s crotches to loosen, and bright yellow liquid flowed out from between Frey’s legs. The floor, which was soaking wet, was quite unsightly.

“Fray, let’s be honest. huh? I don’t want to hit you.”

“Ugh… Ugh… Heh, heh… !”

“What do you know? about me. No, how much do you know?”

I don’t want to do this either. This is even more so because, following Mary’s guidance, we set goodness as our goal.

But the question of my past is a different matter. If someone finds out that I am a demon and reports it to the academy. From that day on, I am expelled from school. No, not expelled, but hunted.

Of course, I am not the kind of person who will die quietly from attacks by humans, but the point is that a peaceful life at the academy with Maria becomes difficult. As it is a sensitive issue, my response is bound to be sensitive as well.

If necessary, even by resorting to violence.

“Cough… ! Ha, ah, huh… No matter how many times I ask, the answer is the same… .”

“ That’s right, Frey. What do you want to hide so much? If you get hit a few more times, you’ll really die.”

“… ! Uh, Evans… ! Why are you doing this to me? !”

“Sseu-eup, why don’t you answer like this? No, it’s ridiculous that you have this much determination. Why is it so different?”

He’s a useless hero anyway, so should we just bury him?

… No matter how much I do, I can’t do that. There’s no way Maria wouldn’t have noticed what I was doing. If I tell you that I killed the hero just because of a variable, the Merciful Virgin Mary will most likely reprimand me.

Ha, really. My back hurts so bad.

“Why are you hiding it like that? Frey, that’s not what I’m trying to do. Just tell me the truth.”

“Well, what do you want me to say… !”

“Tsk, the heartbeat doesn’t lie. That damn snout is still messing up. What should I do to make the truth come out from its mouth?”

“Ugh… ! They keep telling me what I don’t know, but how do I answer… !”

“Hmm… It’s like you wouldn’t know it was a lie if you took your hand off your back. No, maybe it was just because I was in pain and my heart rate was racing? Then how do you explain why you were scared of me?”

“Ah, I told you earlier… ! I’m afraid the academy will find out what I’m doing… !”

It’s confusing. The sorrow and teardrops in Frey’s eyes seem to represent her innocence.

Is that smoke? If acting is what it is, Frey has the qualities to debut as a major actor right now. Frey, who was thought to be just incompetent, had this kind of acting ability?

Babababam-.

Just as I was about to interrogate Frey further, even by torturing him, the class bell rang. It was time to go back to class.

“Bitter, I guess I should step down now.”

I straightened my squat knees. Frey was still on the floor, glaring at me.

“Don’t worry. I’ll call you again later. I have to go to class with Maria, so you stay in the health room. that… I changed my wet underwear.”

“Qu… ! This bastard… !”

“And… Don’t let Maria heal you. If you’re going to get treatment, do it at your own expense. What I’m saying is, don’t put too much pressure on Maria.”

Frey suddenly grits his teeth and looks up at me. I walked away and said something vaguely.

“Look forward to school life in the future.”
