Chapter 27: Demonic Origin II

"So, I'm a King rank, huh." Velma said as she put down her hands.

After all, the process for testing is already done. She didn't have to place her hands against the tower anymore.

And when she was about to walk away, a voice resounded out in her ears.

That voice belonged to the examiner who was standing atop the tower.

His voice was quite loud and strong as all of the other demons here were able to hear it.

"Good! King rank, as expected of the princess! Royal Academy will be blessed with another talent!"

That examiner said as something like a stone appeared right in front of him.

The stone was long, and it seems smooth enough for one to write on.

As this was a test for sorting demons out, the examiner had to keep a list so that there won't be any problems once they started assigning students to the exams.

And in the long stone, there were four columns, and at the top of it were the categories.

Of course, it was the types of the Demonic Origin; The Common, Uncommon, Denoble, and the king type.

The examiner then put his hand above the column where the King types are listed.

There was no one who has been listed there as the King type is rare.

However...

"Velma De Zacharath." The examiner said as the name magically appeared on the stone.

And when the examiner put his head back in front, the stone magically disappeared once more.

Of course, it was time for the next student to be tested.

And the next student was...

"You! Go and place your hand in the tower." The examiner said as his eyes witnessed a pretty strong-looking man.

Of course, that man was Asgo. There were only two students left, and those two were Asgo and Lucifer.

And when his name was called, Asgo spoke.

"Yes, sir!" Asgo said as he tapped Lucifer with his elbow.

As this was his turn to go, he wanted Lucifer to watch.

After all, Asgo didn't know what Lucifer didn't know. Lucifer might ask him things about how this would go on, and that was why Asgo wanted him to watch.

And without even confirming if Lucifer was watching, Asgo started to walk towards the tower with heavy footsteps.

After all, this process would decide his future and his life in the demon society.

If he were able to show at least a Denoble rank, Asgo's life would be set. He would have a glorious future, and he would be a guaranteed powerhouse in this kingdom.

However, if he were to show even an Uncommon rank, Asgo's life would go downhill. Although he wouldn't be discriminated against or something like that, the least he would be is a soldier.

Just the rank of one's Demonic Origins would decide one's life.

That was why Asgo was nervous and scared about it.

However, it's not like things would change even if he were to be scared.

His Demonic Origin was set in stone, and this test would just show it.

'Argh...fuck it.' Asgo thought as he arrived right in front of the tower.

It was then that the examiner shouted once more.

"Start!" He said.

And that was the signal for Asgo to start.

Of course, the process was just placing one's hand against the tower, and that was what Asgo did.

He just placed his hand against the tower and waited for the tower to show the results.

It didn't take long for the tower to show the results as the light started to shine!

It started to shine right at the center of the tower, and it was blinding everyone!

However, this was just normal. And after a few seconds of waiting, the light finally died down, and the tower had some letters scribbled on it.

And the word was...

"Common Rank!" The examiner shouted out loud as he summoned the stone again.

He then spoke as he looked down at Asgo.

"What's your name?"

However, Asgo wasn't listening at all. After all, he just got Common Rank.

And that means he got the Common Demonic Origin.

And if he has that, that means...

"I-I won't be able to join the Royal Academy..." Asgo murmured as he looked at his hands with wide eyes.

All his hopes for the future were destroyed even before he knew it.

However, the examiner didn't give a fuck about that as he shouted once more.

"What's your name! Don't go and whine about your Demonic Origin now! Do it later!"

As this was a test, of course, there was also a time limit. This whole entrance exam was actually only designed for one day, and that was why the examiner was rushing.

After all, they might get late because of these students who got shocked once they knew their rank of Demonic Origin.

Of course, Asgo knew better than that, and that was why he spoke.

"M-my name is Asgo, sir."

His voice was quite small, and he was shaking. It was the normal reaction after knowing they got the Common rank.

And when the examiner heard what Asgo said, he quickly 'wrote' it down on the stone.

"Asgo." The examiner said, and Asgo had his name written on the Common Rank column.

And when he was done with that, the examiner once more made the stone disappear.

He then looked at the last student who would be tested.

"Next!" The examiner shouted.

Of course, the next was Lucifer.

It seems that Lucifer had already decided on what to do as he was walking without hesitation.

He didn't even look like he gave a fuck about this whole event.

At least, that's what the examiner got from how Lucifer looked like as he walked.

And when Lucifer arrived right in front of the tower, the examiner shouted again.

"Start!"

Of course, it was the same signal saying that Lucifer could go and place his hand now.

And before he placed his hand, Lucifer murmured.

"First Academy...I'll go to First."
