After the entrance exams, rankings, and that bold exchange with the principal, the academy began assigning dormitories based on merit. As expected, Lucifer—now infamous across campus—was placed at the very top tier.
Lucifer leaned against the balcony of his newly assigned mansion, looking down at the academy grounds.
Lucifer:
"Hm... not bad. I expected luxury, but this? They're really trying to impress me."
From below, the sound of shouting nobles echoed across the courtyard.
Chirin:
"They're complaining. Apparently sharing space is beneath their 'royal dignity.'"
Lucifer (smirking):
"Good. Let them suffer a little. Reality's hitting them for the first time."
Inside, a neatly packed box sat on the table.
Chirin:
"Open it."
Lucifer lifted the lid and pulled out the academy uniform—white and blue, woven with faint mana threads.
Lucifer:
"Let's see how I look."
After changing, he stood before the mirror.
Lucifer (grinning):
"I knew I was handsome... but this is criminal."
Chirin:
"It's enchanted. Minor defense boost, mana circulation support."
Lucifer:
"And here I was appreciating art."
The First Day... or Not
The next morning, classes began at dawn.
Lucifer... did not attend.
Instead, he casually strolled in long after the lecture had started.
Lucifer (at the door):
"May I come in?"
Every head turned.
The teacher's expression hardened instantly.
Teacher:
"Lucifer Morningstar... late on your first day?"
Lucifer:
"A black cat crossed my path."
Silence.
Teacher:
"...What?"
Lucifer:
"Bad omen. Had to change routes."
The class froze, unsure whether to laugh or panic.
Teacher (irritated):
"Stand outside. Until class ends."
Lucifer:
"Okay."
He stepped out.
...And immediately walked away.
Skipping Class — Lucifer Style
Chirin:
"You're not even going to pretend to follow the punishment?"
Lucifer:
"What's the point? They're teaching things I mastered years ago."
Chirin:
"So what now?"
Lucifer's eyes gleamed.
Lucifer:
"Let's hunt."
The Academy Dungeon
Within the academy grounds lay training dungeons—controlled, yet dangerous.
Lucifer entered one without hesitation.
The environment shifted instantly.
Ruined buildings. Broken roads. Rotting air.
A post-apocalyptic graveyard.
Zombies crawled everywhere.
Chirin (disgusted):
"Ugh... these things again."
Lucifer stretched his neck, then gripped Chirin—who transformed into his blade.
Blue flames ignited around him.
Lucifer:
"Let's farm."
The Storm of Blue Fire
Meanwhile, a group of upperclassmen struggled nearby.
Student 1:
"We're not progressing at all..."
Student 2:
"Every kill attracts more!"
Leader:
"At this rate we'll fail the annual trial..."
Then—
A storm appeared.
Not wind.
Not lightning.
Fire.
Blue fire.
They stared in disbelief as a lone figure carved through the undead like a natural disaster.
At the center—
Lucifer.
Each swing of Chirin burned dozens to ash.
Each step left scorched ground.
Lucifer (laughing):
"This is more like it!"
The Predator Revealed
The upperclassmen watched carefully.
Leader (narrowing eyes):
"He's overusing mana... he'll collapse soon."
Student:
"Shouldn't we help him?"
Leader:
"No. We take the boss after he weakens it."
Greed settled in.
The Boss Appears
Gunfire shattered the chaos.
BOOM!
Lucifer was blasted into a wall.
Dust rose.
From the shadows emerged the boss—
A towering undead soldier... holding a double-barrel gun.
Lucifer (wiping blood, amused):
"A zombie... with a gun? Now that's new."
The creature roared and fired again.
Lucifer dashed—barely dodging.
Even with speed and heightened senses, bullets grazed him repeatedly.
Lucifer:
"Fast... too fast."
Chirin:
"You're getting hit."
Lucifer:
"I noticed."
The Turning Point
Lucifer exhaled slowly.
Then smiled.
Lucifer:
"Alright... let's get serious."
He spent stored karma points.
His skill evolved.
Heightened Senses → Sixth Sense
Time slowed.
Trajectories revealed themselves.
Every bullet... predictable.
Lucifer moved like he was reading the future.
Step. Tilt. Shift.
Not a single hit landed.
Execution
He vanished—
Reappeared behind the boss.
Blue flames erupted violently.
Lucifer:
"Checkmate."
One slash.
Then another.
The boss ignited—
And within seconds...
Turned to ash.
Aftermath
A system notification echoed.
Clairvoyance skill acquired
Double-barrel weapon obtained
Karma points awarded
Lucifer exhaled.
Lucifer:
"Finally... something worth fighting."
From the distance, the upperclassmen stood frozen.
Their "plan" had collapsed before it began.
They weren't looking at a student anymore.
They were looking at a monster.
Chirin (quietly):
"You just made enemies."
Lucifer (grinning):
"Good."
He turned toward the deeper parts of the dungeon.
Blue flames flickering.
Lucifer:
"The stronger they come... the more fun this gets."
