Samuel and I headed to the training ground where the practical exam was being held.
The students were divided into two groups.
One side was the students who had failed the previous exam, and the other side was the students who had passed.
It was divided so that only the students who passed would fight in the second round.
Of course, I had defeated Eris and was going to compete in the second round.
“Adel, good luck!”
Luna waved her hand from the other side, telling me to do well on the exam.
I lightly waved back and waited for the bracket.
Finally, the completed bracket.
Idea began to call out the names of the students one by one.
“Today, we’ll be holding all the remaining practical exams, so be prepared! First, the first match will be between Student Adel and Student Derog!”
At Idea’s words, Derog and I walked forward.
Derog was a half-demon student with dark skin.
I never thought there would be a half-Demon student competing in the second round.
I couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
I wasn’t particularly close to him, but for some reason, I felt a sense of camaraderie.
So, I offered him my hand, meaning good luck.
“I hope we have a good match.”
“……Sir.”
“Yes?”
I stiffened my expression at Derog’s mumbling.
Sir?
Was he trying to be polite to me?
I frowned at Derog’s sudden provocation.
At that moment.
“I, I admire you……!”
Squeeze-.
Derog suddenly grabbed my hand and started shaking it up and down.
I was flustered but held his hand back.
More than that, he admires me?
This was another first for me, so I was taken aback.
I looked at Derog, who had started talking, with a puzzled look.
“You are the pride of the half-demons and the strongest in Sytan, Sir Adel……! I wanted to at least exchange greetings with you, but the atmosphere around you is so serious that I could only steal glances……!”
“I, is that so.”
I nodded my head awkwardly.
In short, it seemed to mean that he admired me as a half-demon.
I had surpassed high-ranking Demons in Sytan and achieved a high ranking, and I had also made great contributions during the human world exam, so it was understandable that he was impressed.
Therefore, it wasn’t a reaction I couldn’t understand that he admired me, but I didn’t expect such an excessive reaction.
“To think that I would have the honor of crossing swords with you, Sir Adel, such impudence……! Please forgive me!”
……He really looked like he was about to cry.
More than that, what was my reputation among half-demons like?
Looking at Luna, she didn’t seem to react like this.
Maybe Luna was special, or maybe Derog was just special.
Squeeze-.
So, I was staring intently at Derog, who wouldn’t let go of my hand.
“Sir Adel, would you consider joining the Half-Demon Alliance?”
“What’s that…….”
Derog’s unexpected recruitment offer.
The name of the group was something I had never heard of before, which made the atmosphere even more suspicious.
As I narrowed my eyes, Derog, as if realizing his mistake, continued his explanation.
“Ah, I must have been too abrupt. To briefly explain, the Half-Demon Alliance is an organization that acts for the rights of half-demons. It would be a great help if you would join us, Sir Adel!”
“…….”
How should I deal with this?
I couldn’t help but make an awkward expression.
‘I thought it was all about blood ties, regional ties, and school ties…….’
Now, even organizations like alliances are being formed based on race.
Aside from its novelty, I wasn’t interested, so I decided to think about it a little more.
It wouldn’t be bad to join if I could get help, and judging by Derog’s favorable reaction, it seemed like he had a good impression of me.
Just as I was about to tell him that I would give him an answer later.
“Hurry up and let go of his hand and fight!”
As soon as Idea shouted, Derog released his grip on my hand.
……It was slightly throbbing, meaning he was no ordinary strong.
He definitely had the skills to advance to the second round.
However.
He wasn’t my match.
There was no need to use the newly acquired red dagger.
Of course, there was no need to use Killing Intent either.
Just.
Woong-.
All I had to do was activate Sword Lacquer.
“Then, I’ll go!”
Derog shouted at me and jumped using the greatsword he was holding.
I lightly swung the Fang of Darkness, which was surrounded by Sword Lacquer.
Thud-.
Then, Derog’s greatsword, despite its size, was easily shattered.
An overwhelming difference in power.
The moment Idea saw that scene, she announced the winner.
“The class president wins!”
A very natural result.
We may have both advanced to the second round, but the gap between me and the average student was already insurmountable.
Derog, as if he had no intention of defeating me, scratched the back of his head and said to me,
“Sir Adel, if you change your mind later, please join the Half-Demon Alliance! I enjoyed the spar!”
“Yes, I will.”
I answered Derog and left the training ground for the next students to spar.
And I went to where Luna was and asked her about the ‘Half-Demon Alliance’.
At my words, Luna nodded her head and began to speak.
And the words that came out of Luna’s mouth were truly surprising.
“Of course I know, I’m a member too.”
“……!”
Luna’s shocking answer.
I couldn’t help but flinch at this.
To think that Luna was a member of such a suspicious-sounding group.
Just as I was about to tell Luna to leave the group immediately.
[I’ve heard of it too. I didn’t join because I’m a pure-blooded Demon, though.]
“Wait, it’s that famous of a group?”
Even Samuel said he knew about the Half-Demon Alliance.
It seemed to have more standing in Sytan than I thought.
What kind of group was it?
“What kind of place is the Half-Demon Alliance?”
In the end, I couldn’t hold back my curiosity and asked Luna.
Grab-.
Suddenly, Luna grabbed my hand with both of hers and started talking.
“You’re interested too, aren’t you, Adel?”
“I’m a little curious.”
I was about to tell her that we could talk without holding hands, but I held back.
Luna, still holding my hand, continued speaking.
“The Half-Demon Alliance is a group that half-demons attending Sytan can join. There are many Demons who bully half-demons, so it was created so that we could protect each other. Are you going to join too, Adel?”
Ah.
After hearing the explanation, I got a rough idea of what kind of place it was.
In a way, it seemed like a gathering of overseas compatriots.
However.
“I’ll think about it a little more.”
I decided to refuse for now because I didn’t have the time to spare for a group.
Right now, I was busy enough preparing for the practical exams.
……But.
What was this ominous feeling?
‘Half-Demon Alliance.’
I had a feeling that I would be frequently involved with this place.
