I Summoned a Max Level Demon by Myself

Episode 2

The best place for education in the ethanol empire.

Philos Academy.

A place of learning that can be said to be the basic stage for game scenarios.

‘It’s not just a stage for the main character’s romance, it’s also an ideal place for success.’

Among the numerous talents produced by the academy, there are quite a few heroes who have left their names in the history books of the continent.

I will unleash all my talents.

Martial arts, magic, spiritism.

If you are recognized as having all kinds of talents, from knowledge of handling metal to art, you will be allowed to set foot here.

‘It’s not usually prestigious.’

once every 3 years. It is also a prestigious school that accepts only about 100 freshmen.

‘Then, at the point where I entered a place like this, to what extent did I get recognition for my level of proficiency?’

All the academy wants is talent.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. It is only evaluating the possibility of contributing to the future of the empire and the continent.

I, ‘Sian’, also received my own recognition and obtained the right to enter this place even though I am a commoner.

‘Well, it’s just a coincidence… … .’

The slum where Xian grew up.

An academy teacher who happened to investigate the place discovered Xi’an’s qualities and recommended him for admission.

Of course, they also provided the travel expenses to come here.

‘At that time, I didn’t have the option of rejecting that opportunity.’

If he hadn’t accepted it, Xian wouldn’t have been able to get out of the dark future he couldn’t see for the rest of his life.

More than anything, there must have been the joy of being recognized.

That’s why Xian chose to come here willingly.

‘And fell into evil… … .’

The boy, who thought he was chosen, came here and was gripped by a severe sense of inferiority.

Talents selected from the Empire and other regions.

In particular, this jockey was even more special in many ways.

For some reason, which is the basis of the game scenario, there was a setting that new students were selected in various special places.

‘That’s why I despaired of my own qualities.’

My talent as a black magician.

Xian at that time did not know how it would be evaluated in this world.

look at it now

“That black hair… … . Could it be that he was also a jockey this time?”

“I couldn’t believe it when I got off the train… … .”

“What are you going to do by entering the academy just for being a black magician?”

“Now the academy is gone too.”

You don’t even pretend to lower your voice.

I didn’t think much of it when I was playing the game, but it’s bittersweet to be Xian himself.

‘My talent… … .’

black magician.

Those who mastered the skills of manipulating various ominous magics or corpses, and sometimes summoning demons, using demonic energy that they could not normally handle.

To those who don’t understand it, they’ll be seen as dabbling in terrible knowledge.

‘But the empire can’t deny the existence of the warlock.’

The Ethanol Empire acknowledged the existence of black magicians.

In addition, they were fully supported and nurtured.

They approved the establishment of a black magic guild and even distributed the budget to help support them.

Why?

because i need it

‘Because I’ve come to the conclusion that nurturing warlocks is a good way to maintain a huge nation.’

The empire is large compared to other countries.

So, there were so many things that were needed.

The most efficient and effective way to obtain fertilizer to produce food.

Or how to completely dispose of waste, including carcasses of monsters and livestock.

It is a problem that any country has no choice but to worry about.

Even in modern society, there is no clear solution.

The answer was found in black magic.

‘It’s come to the extent of applying a support policy.’

It was not difficult to learn black magic within the Empire.

If you have a certain level of aptitude, you can receive basic black magic lessons at the black magic guilds installed in each territory.

Xian also learned the basics while entrusted to the guild for a while before heading to the academy.

However, the future of the field of black magic was not bright.

perception was not good.

Above all, compared to other classes, it had a somewhat rough side.

‘It might be the 3D industry in the fantasy world.’

Those who choose black magic are usually the ones who choose to make a living.

Currently, the best black magician in the empire is at most the level of the 6th circle.

On the other hand, in the case of public magic, the best wizard in the empire reached the 8th circle.

Just looking at this difference, the future of warlocks is bleak.

All in all, that’s the road I have to walk forward.

‘But there is no need to be intimidated.’

Having knowledge of the game, I know the true value of black magic.

Black magic is low? weak?

you’re funny

There are no weak classes in this game.

“If you’re weak, that player is an asshole.”

A true master will become a fraud no matter what he catches.

You can do the proof yourself.

“… … First of all, the entrance ceremony.”

The entrance ceremony, which can be called the opening of the game.

I looked around and wondered where the entrance ceremony would be held.

“Me, where am I going?”

don’t know that

Yes, in the game, after the opening movie, it immediately started at the entrance ceremony.

It’s annoying, but I can’t help but go.

《Sub Quest》

《Please attend the entrance ceremony safely.》

Don’t even dream of falling.

“First of all, I have to memorize the road.”

I have a lot to do.

* * *

As soon as I entered the hall where the entrance ceremony was being held, barely avoiding being late, I sat at the end of the line.

“… … It’s filthy wide!”

As soon as I could catch my breath, the entrance ceremony began.

Ethanol Empire.

Philos Academy.

A ceremony to announce the admission of the glorious 83rd Class.

“First of all, let’s start with congratulations on your entrance.”

front of the dining room.

A man stood tall and continued to speak.

“The Philos Academy has recognized your talents, and promises to further brighten your future here.”

the dean of the academy.

Philef Paleneus.

‘The former head of the Duke of Phaleneus… … Was it one of the strongest in the empire?’

The NPC must have been level 75.

‘I’m sure he went into a strong character, right?’

The setting is that level 99 is the upper limit in the case of the 1st car, and level 999 is unlocked from the 2nd car.

Among the characters that cannot be fostered directly, there are only a handful of strong characters who exceed level 70.

For example, in the case of farmers without combat power, the average level is 5.

Even trained knights cannot exceed level 20 unless they are elite.

‘I don’t know if the standard for that level is still valid, but that old man must be a monster.’

Considering that the average level of the monsters in the final chapter is around 90 based on the first playthrough, he is undoubtedly one of the strongest players.

Such a man speaks words of welcome and conveys the meaning of expectations.

Can there be no tension?

After the dean’s speech, another professor continues to explain the history of the academy and each department.

‘Oh~! I know that.’

I saw it once as the opening and I don’t want to see it again, but is there no skip button? no!

It’s crazy that there is no speed button, let alone skip.

Producers do not know the hearts of users!

‘Is there another face more recognizable than that?’

Because it was the last place, all I could see was the back of my head.

Some have horns, and I see beast ears… … .

‘It doesn’t look right!’

I whimpered and glanced, then I heard the professor clearing his throat, so I straightened my posture again.

“Quietly.”

deposit.

As the professor walked away, I relaxed again and looked around.

“Is there anyone you’re looking for?”

Someone next to me spoke up.

I turned around and saw that a girl was looking this way.

hmm… … . Did my actions seem a bit eccentric?

“you… … .”

“Call me Anilla Swin.”

“draft. I am from the eastern part of the Empire.”

I obediently gave my name. It’s okay to tell that girl her name.

“Ah, it seemed like I was seeing a little unusual guys.”

“It’s special… … . I don’t think I’m going to say anything about it.”

Anila’s gaze goes to my hair.

Dark hair that looks like a mixture of black and purple.

Did you say it was proof that demonic energy was flowing through the body?

“As you can see, it’s like this, but fortunately I was relieved because I saw people who stood out more than me.”

“Well, it seems that there are a lot of unusual new students this year.”

“indeed… … .”

Naturally, the topic moved to other students.

It has to be.

Among the 100 freshmen sitting here, there must be quite a few main characters who will appear in the main game.

… … Shall we take a look and talk about it?

“I heard that there are not one or two guys from various places, starting with the royal family of the Kingdom of Malkedil or Philon?”

“It is said that the first foreign student was also sent there from the Forest of Wisdom.”

“Right. Apparently there are dwarves too.”

“I heard that beasts are famous over there.”

Bring out the facts you know naturally and share small talk.

Mainly hot topical information about freshmen.

Putting me second, information flows out of this girl’s mouth.

There was nothing strange about it.

‘As expected, do you have the setting of being informed?’

Anila Swin.

Among users who have played the game, it is a supporting character called ‘Information Anila’.

True to its name, Informant, its main role is to tell the main character this or that ‘rumor’ or to give hints when he forgets what to do during the game.

‘It’s a must-have character for playing games.’

As befits the setting, Anila knew this and that little information.

Now, even though the entrance ceremony is only in progress, he knows the information of the new students.

‘… … Was it a spy from a foreign country?’

Something like a setup to help people understand the situation about her, who is well versed in information.

It’s a fact that anyone who hasn’t read the script one by one will forget about it.

Perhaps the reason he talked to me was that he was concerned about the fact that he was a black magician who had just entered school in 10 years, so he wanted to ask.

There won’t be any harm.

The setting about Anila is close to a MacGuffin, and the main story doesn’t deal with rats at all.

‘By the way, according to Anila, most of the main characters exist here.’

Just hearing about those mentioned brings each character to mind.

An arrogant and tough royal family who came to study abroad.

An exchange student sent from a forest cut off from the world.

A chimera created by mixing the blood of spirits.

A saintess who entered school according to a revelation from God.

Besides that, etc… … .

everything exists here

‘Certainly it deserves to be said that this jockey is unusual.’

Because they have the potential to lead the end of this world.

And I’m an aspiring villain destined to antagonize one of them.

‘In a way, they’re rivals I have to overcome.’

The spirit of competition is growing.

If you want to live confidently, you shouldn’t live looking at them.

You have to go beyond your skills and reign supreme.

‘If you can.’

On the other hand, there was another person to be concerned about.

‘Among these… … Maybe there’s a main character too.’

playable character.

Although there is a set-up appearance, the game provides customization features for the playable characters.

In short, it means that you may not be able to recognize them by their appearance.

‘Well, if the main character exists, I’ll find out soon.’

rumors will come soon

At that time, think about how to make the main character cute.

While thinking so, the entrance ceremony is also coming to an end before I know it.

What remains is the oath.

‘The oath was obviously given by the chief.’

As far as I know, the chief is definitely… … .

“Representative of admitted students, Elcia Lioleate!”

When I called out her name, a blonde girl stepped forward.

The second daughter of the Duke of Lioleit.

A girl who clearly occupies the strongest position among the 100 freshmen who have just entered.

Above all, one of the heroines that can be captured.

“Elcia Liolet, representative of admitted students. I swear on behalf of the 83rd students of Philos Academy.”

It resonantly represents the new students and represents the determination of those gathered here.

“We promise to contribute to the world by developing our talents and strengths so that one day we will leave our names in the history of this land.”

“hmm.”

The dean also nodded as if accepting the declaration.

I handed the prepared sword to Elcia, and she accepted it with both hands.

A sword that is given only to the senior among freshmen.

With the dean handing it over and receiving it from her as a representative, admission was formally declared.

“Let’s expect endless growth and glory from the 100 talented people who have crossed the threshold of the academy at this time.”

The dean announces the closing words of the entrance ceremony, and we also end the ceremony by bowing our heads.

‘This means that the threshold has been crossed once.’

From today, I am also a student here.

Not white people!

《You have completed the sub-quest.》

Recognizing the notification that only I could hear, I let out a thin sigh.

“It’s a start.”

yes, from now on

In other words, the opening is over.

From now on, I have to work hard to get the ending I want.

After all, villains are made of sweat, tears, friendship, and hard work.
