Chapter 47: Campus Legend: The Silver-Haired Demon (4)

Night had already fallen.

The bright moon hung high in the sky.

Calde Academy, which should have been quiet, occasionally rang out with miserable screams.

Unaware students were frightened out of their wits, too scared to even go to the cafeteria for dinner, hiding in their dorms and going to bed early instead.

Deep within the Combat Division, inside a standalone villa courtyard.

A demon stood there, over two meters tall.

Two thick horns grew from amid his fiery red long hair.

His upper body was bare, and a gleaming, gold-plated No. 09 student badge hung from his belt.

Black demonic energy enveloped his surroundings, the grass rippling without wind, his presence overwhelming.

“Very soon, I’ll be able to break through to the Calamity (Heaven) Rank.”

“Once I, Hector, reach the Calamity Rank and bring back the knowledge I’ve learned at Calde Academy, I’ll surely make a name for myself among the Evil Demon race.

Becoming a renowned demon general will be just a matter of time!”

“Hahaha… hahaha…”

Bang———

Just as the demonic fog around Hector was at its densest and he threw his head back in a triumphant howl,

The gate of his villa was suddenly smashed flat onto the ground with a deafening crash.

It startled him badly, even causing the flowing black mist around him to freeze for a moment.

This instantly enraged Hector.

He turned toward the entrance and saw a silver-haired girl wearing a nightdress.

She was carrying a golden greatsword that was even bigger than herself.

Her face was filled with innocent curiosity as she hopped her way inside.

Behind her followed a black-clad youth, scratching the back of his head awkwardly, smiling apologetically.

Hector sized up the silver-haired girl.

He couldn’t sense any strength from her at all.

As for the greatsword in her hand, although it looked impressive, it had none of the energy fluctuations of a high-tier weapon.

Clearly, it was more decorative than practical.

Nothing to fear.

As for the one behind her, Hector knew him.

A hero trainee who had joined in the last two years.

Earth-rank strength.

Quite famous and prestigious among the new students.

But Hector didn’t think much of him at all.

“Chen Yu.

You brought your little fling here to cause trouble?”

“This is Calde Academy.

Hmph.

Planning to head to the training grounds for a match right now?”

“Hahaha… heroes…

I’ve long wanted to knock a few flat…”

Though angry, Hector still observed Calde Academy’s rules.

Private formal combat between students was only allowed at the training grounds and required supervision from the discipline committee or teachers.

Killing blows were strictly forbidden.

Violators would face severe punishment.

Chen Yu shook his head apologetically.

“Sorry.

I’m not the one looking for you today.

It’s Miss Yiluo who wants to see you.

I’m just the guide.”

Hector frowned and glanced at the girl carrying the greatsword.

He felt utterly baffled.

“Looking for me?

What for—taken a fancy to me?”

“Sorry.

I’m not interested in human girls.”

“Please leave.

And compensate for the gate while you’re at it.

Also, one hundred gold coins for disturbing my cultivation.”

Hector was a veteran student of Calde Academy.

At twelve years old and Rank Four, he had entered the academy and studied here for thirteen years, reaching the peak of Calamity (Earth) Rank.

He was long accustomed to the academy’s rules.

Chen Yu glanced at Yiluo, who showed no intention of speaking.

With a hint of pity in his eyes, he looked at Hector and said,

“That money… isn’t going to be paid.”

Hearing this, Hector gave a cold laugh.

“Heh.

So you’re here to pick a fight?”

Chen Yu’s words were exactly what Hector wanted to hear.

If Chen Yu initiated trouble first, then even if Hector broke the rules and attacked directly, the academy wouldn’t pin the blame on him.

The demonic fog around Hector grew thicker and thicker.

A flash of red light passed through his black eyes.

Openly fighting a hero within the academy was a rare opportunity.

Damn!

The murderous intent in Hector’s eyes fully erupted.

Gloomy winds howled around him as his massive body, wrapped in violent demonic mist, surged toward Yiluo and Chen Yu.

“Hahaha… since you’ve come to deliver yourselves…

Then I won’t hold back!!!”

The black demonic fog cultivated by the Evil Demon race carried corrosive power and could disrupt a person’s mind.

Once it invaded the body, it could destroy the warrior energy within, drastically lowering cultivation and temporarily robbing the mind of clear thought.

Hector suddenly thought that capturing the girl first and using her to threaten Chen Yu would be quite amusing.

So as the fog engulfed both Chen Yu and Yiluo, Hector’s eyes filled with smug delight.

His enormous hand reached out toward Yiluo first.

Demons had never cared about honor!

If Chen Yu stepped in to protect the girl now, Hector would give him a devastating blow.

Hahaha!

In his mind, Hector had already imagined several ways to torment the two of them.

However, reality ran completely counter to his expectations.

At this moment, Chen Yu did not move forward to protect the girl.

Instead, a faint blue glow wrapped around his body as he rapidly retreated from the demonic fog.

This genuinely surprised Hector.

What… was this?

Though he didn’t understand it, Hector had already reached the girl.

So he decided to take her down first.

A girl who looked this innocent would surely be very interesting once corroded by the demonic fog…

Over the past few years, several human female warriors and mages had challenged him to duels at the training grounds.

After being invaded by the demonic fog, they loudly blurted out the dark thoughts hidden in their hearts in front of spectators.

Those scenes had been unbelievably spectacular.

Hector still remembered them vividly.

In Hector’s view, how could human women compare to demon women?

Demon women were straightforward and worshipped strength.

Human women were always indirect, full of little schemes.

Who had the time to guess their thoughts?

Wasn’t cultivation far more enjoyable?

Let me see what kind of strange thoughts you’re hiding inside, little girl who looks so pure!

Haha.

It’ll be amazing!

Hector grinned wildly.

Just as his demonic claw was about to grab Yiluo by the neck,

The delight on his face suddenly froze.

His heart jolted.

His blood began to boil, as if it might evaporate at any moment.

His entire body became completely immobile.

How could this be…

This… this is…

The Blood Clan’s talent…

Don’t they rarely leave their territory…?

The Blood Clan was one of the pinnacle combat races among the demon races.

Its members were extremely proud.

Their weakness was laziness.

They loved staying inside their luxurious castles, rarely leaving their domain.

They were also locked in constant internal conflict.

Hector was filled with shock and terror.

Just as he tried to raise his head to confirm the girl’s identity,

He felt something heavy smash down onto his head.

His mind went completely blank, and he lost consciousness.

Yiluo looked at Hector, now unconscious with rolled-back eyes and drool leaking from his mouth.

Her beautiful crimson eyes spun twice.

She crouched down, plucked the No. 09 student badge from his belt, then turned and tossed it straight to Chen Yu.

Looks kinda dirty.

Let’s not keep No. 09~

“This is… your payment.”

Chen Yu caught the student badge and gave a wry smile as he thanked her.

So this was… dragging him into the mess?

Chen Yu didn’t want to accept the badge.

But he had no way to refuse the girl before him.

After all—

Anyone who had refused her had already…
