Chapter 41: Good Seed

Lucifer got knocked out by the old man just with his right hand.

It seems that the old man was really strong as Lucifer was currently stuck on the ground with his lower body being eaten by the ground.

Of course, Lucifer's upper body could be seen, and his head was...currently slumped forward.

It seems that Lucifer really got knocked out and his consciousness was taken away just with the old man's strike alone.

Right, Lucifer was knocked out for real as he didn't even move his body.

He didn't even try to get out of the hole that he was stuck in, and he didn't even let out a scream of pain.

He was just...knocked out.

It was crazy if you think about how strong Lucifer was. Even if his powers and body were weakened due to his condition, an old man from a small country shouldn't be able to knock him out just like that!

However, it seems that the old man was really just that strong as the old man looked down on Lucifer as he spoke.

"Bastards who are late in the entrance exam get a whooping straight to their asses!"

The old man shouted out loud as his hand returned to his side like a snake.

Of course, his voice resounded out in this place, and in Asgo's ears as well.

However, Asgo didn't care about that at all. In fact, Asgo was just staring at something with his head lowered.

Right, and what Asgo was staring at was Lucifer who just got knocked out by an old man.

Of course, Asgo didn't really care about the old man at all. Although the old man was a professor in the First Academy, Asgo couldn't care less about it.

What he was really worried about was...Lucifer. After all, Lucifer just got knocked out all of a sudden!

However, who was Lucifer?

To Asgo, Lucifer was someone who he just met in this entrance exam, and was just a nobody.

After all, Lucifer was really unknown to demons like Asgo. What's more, Asgo was part of the new generation.

It was just impossible for Asgo to know who Lucifer really was.

However, there was a reason why Asgo was getting worried for Lucifer.

No...he was getting worried for himself, and for the old man.

Why? It was because of the fear that Lucifer engraved on Asgo before when they were still walking together alone.

Lucifer...was like a devil to Asgo right now. A devil with no heart who would take away Asgo's life instantly if he ever dared to disobey the devil.

That was why Asgo feared Lucifer with all of his heart. After all, Lucifer actually threatened him before.

There was just no way Asgo would be able to remain calm after seeing the person that he feared so much suddenly got knocked out!

No, he just couldn't believe that Lucifer actually got knocked out!

He believed that Lucifer would soon get up and murder this old man!

He thought that Lucifer would soon regain his consciousness and destroy this place!

He thought...that Lucifer would kill the insolent old man who dared to touch and injure him in this situation.

Right, that was what Asgo believed would happen in this situation, and that was why he was getting worried for himself.

And that was also why his eyes were shaking like crazy right now even though his body was not.

After all, it was only natural to think that he would get caught up in this situation.

Even though Lucifer only threatened him for a short moment, it was enough for Asgo to know what kind of a demon Lucifer was.

He knew that Lucifer would destroy anyone and anything once something starts to get on his nerves.

And what happened this time doesn't even count as something getting on his nerves!

It was actually a slap to Lucifer's face as some demon just attacked him out of nowhere.

That was why Asgo was getting worried also for himself as he knew that there was a chance of him dying because of some...random attack that would come from Lucifer's outburst if it did happen.

It was quite amazing for Asgo to know that just because of the one time that Lucifer threatened him.

Well, this speaks of how...shallow Lucifer was right now.

Anyway, Lucifer still wasn't moving at all, and the old man was just staring at Lucifer.

It seems that the old man was really in a bad mood as his eyes were just glaring at Lucifer even though he already attacked Lucifer and caused him to lose his consciousness.

Well, the old man's anger was understandable and justified.

After all, Lucifer and Asgo were students...no, they were just exam takers.

However, they were actually late in the exam that they were supposed to take part in.

For a professor in the academy where these students were about to go and take the entrance exam, that was just a disrespectful act.

Although the old man does admit that the First Academy was the worst academy right now, it still doesn't mean that students should act cocky like this.

Right, even if the reason is because of the princess of the kingdom!

That was why the old man attacked Lucifer without taking any explanation.

Well, he already heard and knew that some student was held by the princess or something like that.

Anyway, the old man then whipped his head to the other demon who was standing just in the side, staring at the knocked-out demon.

'Tsk! We got a bad seed, getting so scared just from this.' The old man thought as he observed Asgo very closely.

He observed every part of Asgo's body; legs, feet, hands, chest, shoulders, arms, and face.

Of course, the old man also saw that Asgo's eyes were unnaturally shaking and quivering from fear.

Well, the old man just thought that Asgo was scared just because a professor attacked a student or something like that.

After all, it wasn't so weird that Lucifer could die here.

And no one would even care about it.

Right, it was only natural for a professor to kill a student, and there would be no laws against it.

It was crazy if you think about it, but it was actually not.

If a professor was to actually kill a student, there would be bad rumors and bad images would be spread about their academy.

After all, the academy was the one that takes care of its students.

And if bad rumors were to spread about the academy and bad images were to be plastered with the academy, it was only natural that the students would want to drop out.

It was also natural that there would be no students coming in after the spread of that rumor, and, in the end, the academy would soon be forced to shut down.

And a professor wouldn't want to have something like that to happen.

After all, a professor is a professor because he or she wanted to teach.

And if she or he was to kill a student and go out of his or her job, it was only natural that she or he wouldn't like that kind of outcome.

That was why having laws about it isn't exactly necessary as it was only common sense that a professor wouldn't kill a student.

Well, it was a different case if that professor was a crazy old man or something like that.

Of course, the old man thought that Asgo knew something so common sense.

And since it was common sense that a professor wouldn't kill a student or an exam taker, the old man thought that Asgo was a bad seed for getting scared over something like this.

After all, it was the truth that this was just a trivial event that just happened because they were late.

It wasn't something that one should fawn over or get mad about it.

'Tsk! Tsk! This one is no good.' The old man thought as he kept in his mind Asgo's appearance.

Since Asgo was no good, there was no need for him. Of course, if Asgo wanted to take the exam, he would still be allowed.

He could also still attend the First Academy's classes and be its students.

However, there would be no need to specifically groom Asgo since he was just...no good.

In other words, Asgo would just become a normal student of the First Academy.

It was then that the old man whipped his head back to the ground...back to Lucifer.

And as soon as the old man's eyes saw Lucifer, his eyes...lit up unnaturally that one would think some kind of light shone in his eyes alone.

However, there was a reason why the old man's eyes suddenly lit up like that.

And that was...the old man was excited.

Right, the old man was excited, even though he was looking at Lucifer, the one who he just knocked out.

Why? It was because the old man...had a thought about Lucifer.

'This bastard...is a good seed.' The old man thought as he looked at Lucifer.
