Trip is simply across the nook.

“Melissa, it’s virtually trip!”

I exclaimed, excited on the prospect of seeing my grandmother and Dioleta unnie for the primary time in a very long time.

“Yeah, it’s virtually examination time.”

“…….”

Nevertheless, I used to be quickly hit with actuality.

As Melissa had stated, the academy holds exams as soon as a semester earlier than trip, which meant that exams had been simply across the nook, as was trip.

“Are you learning to your exams?”

Melissa requested, adopted by a gentle reprimand.

“I, I’ve been working exhausting at school…….”

“I’m not going to make you cram for one thing you’re already late for, so at the least evaluation, and I’ll assist you when you don’t know one thing.”

“Uh, yeah…….”

With that, Melissa went into the subsequent classroom immediately as a result of she was going to be late for sophistication.

Let’s return to the dorm and examine for the examination…….

No less than I needed to do higher than I did on the doorway examination.

I made an bold promise to myself and turned to the window. On the identical time, a well-recognized head of bangs caught her eye via the window.

It was Senior Duen.

His thick bangs had been nonetheless overlaying his eyes at the moment. His head was turned in my course, so it was as if our eyes met.

I ducked my head barely to say hey, simply in case.

Fortunately, Senior Duen was me, too, and he waved again.

After a semester of frequent visits to the library, I’d gotten to know him properly sufficient to say hey outdoors.

After all, the rationale he memorized my face was a little bit embarrassing by my requirements.

* * *

“My mortgage, I want an extension…….”

That is the second time.

Because of this he memorized my face.

I often prolonged a guide three or 4 occasions after I borrowed it. The primary guide I borrowed, The Demons of Humanity, I prolonged virtually 4 occasions.

Finally, I simply couldn’t get into it and moved on to one thing else.

That doesn’t imply the opposite books had been fascinating.

Perhaps I’m simply not minimize out for this.

I feel the one purpose he didn’t find yourself hating me like he did with Professor Bendick was as a result of I typically lengthen prematurely of the due date.

“All these books are boring, aren’t they?”

Senior Duen requested with out even opening the mortgage guide.

“What can I say, they’re not fascinating……. Or ought to I say, I don’t learn properly…….”

All of the demon books I’ve ever learn have been like that.

“It’s as a result of the writer is attempting to drive his viewpoint on you.”

He says this as if he is aware of what the guide is about. Is he even on this discipline?!

“Did you learn this guide too?”

I used to be going to ask him to advocate an easy-to-read guide for somebody keen on demons.

“I attempted …… I’ve learn all of the books on demons within the library.”

I can often inform what an individual is considering and saying by their eyes.

However Senior Duen by no means confirmed his eyes, so it was exhausting to inform what he was considering.

“Wait.”

Simply as I used to be questioning why the temper appeared to have cooled, he stood up and disappeared between the bookshelves.

I stood nonetheless and waited for him to reappear.

When he reappeared, he held a skinny guide in his hand.

“It is a assortment of tales primarily based on true tales, so it needs to be simpler to learn than different books.”

I gave him a respectful look, as if to ask how he knew, after which the corners of his mouth turned up.

“I’ve been which means to inform you for some time now, that you just shouldn’t discuss or ask different folks about demons, otherwise you could be mistaken for a satan worshiper or a heretic.”

That was one thing I used to be totally conscious of. I nodded in understanding, and he lastly opened my checkout guide and wrote down the title of the guide and my identify.

“Nonetheless, it’s good to see that you just’re being cautious, because you all the time disguise your borrowed books below your main books.”

As I listened to him, I noticed why he had all the time given the guide I used to be about to borrow a wierd look.

It was one thing he was keen on, and he needed to inform me to watch out.

As quickly as I noticed his intentions, I began to fret about him.

“Uh……. Senior, don’t inform me…….”

It’s not simply that he’s caught within the library on a regular basis, it’s additionally that he’s keen on demons.

Isn’t he being bullied by the seniors in his grade as a result of he’s mistaken for a satan worshiper or a heretic?!

If that’s the case, that will clarify numerous his habits.

An individual may simply be keen on all kinds of various issues, however bullying a buddy with a slim mindset?!

It’s unthinkable, even by my requirements.

“……I do know what you’re considering, nevertheless it’s not like that.”

He should have learn my ever-changing expression, as a result of he replied in a gruff voice. Simply then, I heard the sound of a window opening behind me and a boy’s voice.

“Duen, let’s go eat!”

Apparently, his buddy had come to choose him up. The timing couldn’t have been extra good.

“……I, I’m sorry.”

I rapidly apologized to my senior.

“……No downside. Thanks for the priority.”

As a lot as I used to be genuinely frightened, I used to be simply as embarrassed.

Again in my room, I opened the guide he had really helpful.

The desk of contents had the 12 months written on every web page. It appeared to checklist the occasions in chronological order.

“…….”

The primary desk of contents informed the story of a lady who, lengthy earlier than I used to be born, mistook a younger demon for a human and raised him.

The human genuinely considered the younger demon as household, caring for it as if she had been its precise mum or dad.

A neighbor observed and informed her the reality.

“That little one is just not human! You might be being deceived!”

The lady stated.

“The kid is just not human, as you say, however he didn’t deceive me.”

As if she had recognized all alongside, the lady conceded.

The villagers groaned on the girl’s sudden phrases. How may she have recognized the kid’s true id and saved him together with her?

The folks surrounding her and the kid thought.

The lady had already fallen below the satan’s spell.

To avoid wasting her, the villagers locked her in a dungeon.

They visited her each day, forcing her to open her eyes. However she didn’t even fake to hearken to them.

Time handed within the guide.

She grew skinny, and sooner or later the villagers stopped visiting.

Simply as she was about to starve to demise, the long-unlocked jail door opened and a person walked in.

“All of the persons are lifeless.”

“…….”

“Since you, since you harbored that demon……! It’s due to you, it’s all due to you!”

The person, paralyzed with worry, used an ax to interrupt the lock on the cell holding the lady, then stepped inside and shouted.

Seems, the demon had been trying to find her whereas she was gone, killing villagers, and the person was the one survivor.

The lady regarded up on the man, who was staring down at her with blurry eyes.

The very last thing she noticed was the blade of the ax he held excessive above her head.

“…….”

That was the tip of the story.

I used to be left speechless by the unexpectedly miserable content material.

So, are demons……?

Sure, it was a couple of demon, however in the long run, the story was primarily a couple of girl who was possessed by a demon.

With a grimace, I moved on to the subsequent web page with the subsequent subheading.

It was all miserable, however as Senior Duen stated, it was the simplest guide I’ve ever borrowed.

Then got here the ultimate one.

It was the story of the 12 months earlier than I used to be born, the 12 months Liel was born.

A warfare between demons and people.

Or, extra precisely, a warfare between the king of demons and people.

The king, who had by no means been seen, appeared in the future with out warning and commenced killing people in giant numbers utilizing demons.

To cease this sudden slaughter, monks and knights united to wage warfare towards the demon king.

The warfare lasted almost a 12 months earlier than the demon king was lastly slain by a human.

It additional defined that the person who defeated the king and received the warfare was Edwin, the present excessive priest of the temple.

“Hmm…….”

I completed studying the guide he really helpful, however actually, I’m undecided it helped.

At greatest, I discovered that there was a warfare the 12 months Liel was born, and that the king died?

I don’t really feel like I’ve gotten a lot out of it so I really feel a little bit deflated serious about it.

Leaning again towards the again of the chair, I pressed the again of my hand towards my eyes, which had been drained from studying nonstop.

“What concerning the examination…….”

Whether or not it was useful or not, the guide was price studying as a result of it was a collection of brief tales.

Because of this, I’ll be cramming for my examination the day after tomorrow.

* * *

After taking my last examination, I mingled with the gang and left the lecture corridor, and the very first thing I did was lookup on the ceiling of the hallway.

“I completed writing the solutions…….”

For some purpose, I remembered the doorway examination.

I feel I felt this fashion again then, too.

I waited for the door to the subsequent classroom to open, my confidence drained. Lastly, the door opened and Melissa poked her head out with a cheerful expression.

“Did you do properly in your take a look at?”

Her voice was lethal severe, as if one thing was going to occur if I didn’t.

I nodded in a method that informed her to not fear.

“I’ve acquired all of the solutions.”

It didn’t take lengthy for Melissa’s expression to vary from proud to, “However the place is that?”
