The five of us got first place in the Gairadeite expedition test.

Though clearly troubled Menou announced it to the other students who had not even left Deiruheido yet.

The test determines your grade by relative evaluation so we scored 100 points, however, there is such a big difference between our points and the all the others that the other student’s grades have dropped. It was unavoidable though considering our speed.

I didn’t care about the points at all but the teacher was bothered by it.

I was guided to my dorm room and offloaded my luggage.

The rooms are divided into male and female with me and Ray sharing a twin room. Misha, Sasha and Misa are sharing a triple room.

“Haven’t we got 10 days free time now?” (Ray)

“So they said.” (Arnos)

Only after the 10 days are up can the students who made it to Gairadeite start taking lessons. Until then we are free.

“I’m going to go around the city for a while. What will you do?” (Arnos)

“That’s a good idea but I think I’m off to the dining room.” (Ray)

The dorm dining room is open from morning to evening and apparently, you can go and eat at any time.

It’s breakfast time at the moment.

“I see your appetite is as huge as ever.” (Arnos)

He ate breakfast before we left Deruzogedo.

“I’m interested in Azeshion cooking.” (Ray)

“Later then.” (Arnos)

Ray raises his hand from the bed as I leave the room.

“Ah……..”

I’ve just met Sasha.

“You going somewhere?” (Sasha)

“I’m going for a walk around the city. Do you want to come with me?” (Arnos)

“Eh……? Yes…….that’s fine…” (Sasha)

I left the dorm with Sasha.

“What are Misha and Misa doing?” (Arnos)

“They are contacting the members of the fan union using Thought Transmission <Liikus>. It seems they are giving advice on the best route to get to Gairadeite.” (Sasha)

I see. They are taking good care of them.

“We should have brought them with us as well.” (Sasha)

“They’re weak. It will do them good to earnestly do the exam. There’s no point raising your grades without the ability to back them up.” (Arnos)

“Hmmmm.”

Sasha looks at me meaningfully.

“What?” (Arnos)

“I thought you just went around doing crazy things but you actually consider things as well.” (Sasha)

“What are you saying? I always think about the right thing to do.” (Arnos)

Sasha’s face becomes as expressionless.

“Even though you tried to kill me yesterday during self-study?” (Sasha)

“You never actually died though. That’s something to be proud of.” (Arnos)

Sasha didn’t appear to be expecting that counterattack and seems lost at what to say back to me.

“…….Did you think you can fool me by praising me? Unfortunately for you, I’m not that simple.” (Sasha)

Sasha turns to the side in a huff.

“I’m not deceiving you though. Three times you surpassed the magic I was sure would kill you. You carry the same demon eyes as me.” (Arnos)

Sasha’s ears turned red and she looked down.

“I said I won’t be fooled even if you praise me. You were honestly trying to kill me.” (Sasha)

Yare yare. Why aren’t you pleased? I rarely praise you.

“Sasha. I told you before that your demon eyes are beautiful. I wasn’t lying about that either.” (Arnos)

“Wha…….” (Sasha)

Sasha slowly turns around.

“What are you saying so suddenly?” (Sasha)

“It’s not sudden. I’ve thought it since we first met. Your demon eyes are tranquil and uncorrupted. Yesterday’s self-study only reinforced that belief.” (Arnos)

Demon eyes are used to look at other demons. By continuing to do that you can improve your skill level and look even deeper into the abyss, however, by doing so your eyes eventually become tainted.

Peaceful and clear demon eyes mean you are strongly resistant to magic. Even if you are exposed to ominous magic power your eyes remain untainted.

“What were you thinking about during our self-study…….concentrate properly……” (Sasha)

“What else did I need to think about? I was concentrating on staring into your abyss.” (Arnos)

By trying to prevent my magic Sasha polished her <demon eyes of ruin> even further. Even after all that I still can’t see the bottom of her power.

Speaking of pure talent Sasha easily surpasses even the mazoku from the age of myths.

“Nee…….”

Sasha looks down in embarrassment.

“……Show me your demon eyes…….” (Sasha)

Fumu. You want to use my eyes as a reference?

“This okay?” (Arnos)

I activated my <demon eyes of ruin> and stared at Sasha.

“……I think your demon eyes are more beautiful than mine…..” (Sasha)

“No, they aren’t.” (Arnos)

Sasha became speechless at my firm declaration.

“Your eyes are more beautiful. Listen carefully Sasha as I’ll only say this once.” (Arnos)

“……….Ye…….yes……..”

Sasha’s eyes seemed to be sucked into mine.

“I want your demon eyes.” (Arnos)

“……Eh…………….?” (Sasha)

“I rarely say such things.” (Arnos)

Sasha is talented. Her <demon eyes of ruin> have the potential to one day surpass mine. If she doesn’t neglect her training that is.

“Don’t you understand my meaning?” (Arnos)
