Chapter 28: Common Rank

"First Academy...I'll go to First Academy." Lucifer murmured as he placed his hand on the tower.

There was only one reason why he chose to go to a trash academy rather than going to a prestigious academy when he could.

And that was because of his freedom that would be guaranteed.

If Lucifer were to go to the Royal Academy, the teachers, professors, and even the students would have some backbone in them.

That would mean that there is a chance that Lucifer might be found out once Lucifer started to seriously regain his powers.

After all, Lucifer's powers could even shake the whole Hidden world.

It wouldn't be surprising if some kid next door were to find out about it, even if Lucifer were hiding it.

However, if Lucifer were to go to the First Academy, Lucifer would have more freedom.

After all, it was a trash academy. And a trach academy would have trash students.

And because it is a trash academy, it would have trash teachers or professors.

It was only normal that they won't be able to find anything out if Lucifer starts doing his thing. Of course, Lucifer would still stay under the radar.

Besides, Lucifer actually was looking forward to this whole academy thing.

After all, it was something that had never existed before, and it was something that caught Lucifer's attention.

What's more, Lucifer could feel that an academy...is somewhat related to books.

And if there are books in the conversation, Lucifer would immediately join.

Well, Lucifer just wanted to know more about the books and stuff.

He won't really start reading again, as that would break off his determination.

Besides, Lucifer only wanted two things from this academy thing.

A place where he could regain his powers and a place where he could learn how to write his own book was what Lucifer wanted from this academy.

That was why it didn't really matter if he goes to a prestigious or trash academy.

'Alright, show off my Demonic Origin Common now.' Lucifer thought as he felt the tower revving.

He felt the tower starting to grade his Demonic Origin, and that was why Lucifer controlled the tower.

He controlled the tower with his magic so that it would only show the Common Rank of Demonic Origin.

After all, it's not like Lucifer could just change his Demonic Origin. His Demonic Origin is there now, and no one could change that.

However, there was something that Lucifer did not expect.

'I can't...control it?!' Lucifer thought as he widened his eyes.

Right, Lucifer could not control the tower, and that was why Lucifer looked up immediately.

And what Lucifer could see was a bright light writing something on the wall.

Of course, Lucifer couldn't read it, and that was why he was getting worried.

Lucifer couldn't control the tower, and that means only one thing.

The tower would show his real Demonic Origin, and it would make things complicated!

No, it would make things go crazy as Lucifer would have to kill all the people in here!

Of course, Lucifer couldn't do that as that would brand him as a criminal, and he would even get hunted down.

Information about him would also be shared, and his origins would be dug up.

If that indeed did happen, it would only be a matter of time until they find out that Lucifer...was Lucifer.

Zhunnggg!

It was then that the light finally disappeared as it showed some letters of the new alphabet.

However, because Lucifer couldn't read any of the new alphabet, he could only be worried in silence.

Lucifer waited for the examiner to shout his rank, as that was the case with Asgo.

That was why Lucifer was looking at the examiner intently.

Of course, the examiner was also looking at Lucifer.

The examiner could clearly see that Lucifer was extremely worried about the result.

And that was why the examiner smirked. He smirked as he shouted.

"Common Rank!"

After all, what was written on the tower was the lowest rank possible.

And when Lucifer heard that, he couldn't believe it.

After all, he didn't control the tower to show that results, and yet, it said that his Demonic Origin was Common rank.

That only means one thing, and that is...

'I have a Common Rank...'

Right, Lucifer has a Common Rank for his Demonic Origin.

It was weird if you think about how he was a Hell God in the past, but this was not the time to think about things like that.

After all, the examiner spoke once more.

It seems that the examiner was rushing things now since Lucifer was just the last guy.

Well, Lucifer had the worst Demonic Origin possible, so there's no way the examiner would be lenient with him.

"What's your name!" The examiner shouted.

Of course, Lucifer tried to keep his calm. Even though it wasn't because of his manipulation, the result was what he wanted.

He still got the tower to show that he had a Common Rank.

That was why Lucifer spoke with quite the normal face now.

He was shocked, but Lucifer was sure quick to keep his calm and facade.

"Lucis Ferre." Lucifer said as he looked at the examiner.

Of course, the examiner was no longer looking at Lucifer as he called for the stone.

However, before the examiner 'wrote' down Lucifer's other name on the stone, he suddenly realized something.

The examiner then looked down once more as he spoke.

"You! I don't remember a Denoble house having the last name of Ferre."

After all, there was no one in the Denobility who had the last name of Ferre.

That was why the examiner suspected that Lucis Ferre made up his last name.

However, Lucifer was quick-witted. Well, he already had the chance to think things through when Asgo said it earlier.

"My name is Lucisferre. The ferre is not a surname." Lucifer said.

The examiner just looked at Lucifer with sharp eyes, but that soon ended.

After all, the examiner believed it so. There's no way a student taking an exam would foolishly claim that they have a surname.

"Lucisferre." The examiner said as he 'wrote' down Lucifer's other name on the stone.

It seems that the storm has passed now for Lucifer, but that was not the case.

After all, there was a woman who suddenly shouted out from the crowd.

"Wait!"

And that woman was...Velma, the princess of this kingdom.
