The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 151

 

Dream School Life?

Me and Rain failed in our school debut.

It's different from what often happened in my previous life, where if I pretended to be a bit evil, I would be shunned from the class and end up running around in the shadowy path...

We stood out too much...

I can't afford to fail the entrance exam! I took it with great enthusiasm, but everything was surprisingly easy.

The content of the classroom test is the same content I completed when I was 5 years old, so it's basically just basic knowledge and common sense, so it's not very satisfying. The only thing I had a hard time with was the magic essay. I'm a perceptive person, so I had a hard time summarizing it in writing.

It's the same for Rain, and since she basically learned her studies and techniques from me, it seems like the test was easy. However, it seems that Rain was unable to write anything on the magic essay and submitted it blank.

I had high hopes for the swordsmanship test as the examiner was an [intermediate swordsman], but I easily defeated him. This may be the result of practicing with old man Mondo. I was able to use a long sword for the first time in a while with just a few movements, and I was able to attack my opponent with a light movement.

Rain also overwhelmed the examiner without any difficulty. In her case, unlike me, she only specializes in swordsmanship, so she is accustomed to using a long sword.

The magic test was to shoot magic at a target to check the number of usable attributes, precision and accuracy, power, and number of moves.

Rain and I were able to use all seven attributes and used each spell as a spear-type attack magic.

Apparently, spear-type magic is considered [intermediate magic], which surprised the female mage examiner.

Then, on the day of the entrance ceremony when the results were posted, we ended up attracting attention.

As a result, I came in 1st place and Rain came in 2nd place... and it was a first and second as the highest score ever...

The results weren't the only thing that drew attention.

Apparently, Rain and I look like a handsome man and a beautiful girl. I'm normal, and Rain is definitely a beautiful girl, but...

"That's not true! Onii-sama is cool!"

That's what I was told. As expected, I was worried about the way the girls around me were looking at me, and I had to repeatedly check with Rain to make sure I hadn't leaked my [charm]. Apparently, even without [charm], I had a look that would appeal to girls. I feel embarrassed, I feel happy...

So I attended the entrance ceremony, and the prince who came up to greet the new students was crazy.

I was taken aback when he suddenly started saying things like [defeating monsters and demon kings]. After that, he introduced a student who was called a saint...

I was surprised to see a real Saint...

She was a beautiful girl with pink hair. And when I looked at her abilities with the [God's Eye], I did find that she had the [Saint] skill.

But... no, um... I guess it's better not to look into this too deeply... Is it better not to get involved?

Yeah. Let's stop.

On the day of the entrance ceremony, I swore that I would never have anything to do with this prince and saint.

Classes at the academy are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and from there until 5 p.m., students can attend classes as they like for independent study.

There are no academic departments, so you can choose to take classes in any subject you like.

Instead, students must pass five of their chosen subjects in the final exam in order to advance to the next level. The final examination is held three times a year.

There are two days off per week, and there are no long vacations such as summer vacation or winter vacation. Alternatively, you can apply for long-term leave and take a longer period of leave.

This seems to be a consideration for nobles who own territories in rural areas and those working as adventurers.

I heard about this at an information session after the entrance ceremony.

Then, Rain and I took classes for a month and understood.

I wondered... if it was necessary to come to the academy...

At first, we actively participated in swordsmanship and magic classes, but rather than us being taught, we were often teaching as assistants to the teachers.

I had no choice but to try out other classes as well, so I tried taking them one by one... but all of them were so lightly done that they were uninteresting...

"Onii-sama... the lace is too delicate. And the amount is already enough for one wedding dress..."

I'm currently taking handicraft and sewing classes, but I can't help but think about unnecessary things and my hands just move on...

It's like this... I feel like I discovered a new skill when I'm thinking about other things and working on something else...

Ah... the skill [parallel thinking] was born...

"L-Light-kun? Are you going to present that to the queen?"

While I was absentmindedly thinking about my newly acquired skill, the teacher in my sewing class asked me something that I wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic or making fun of me. The female students around me looked at my hands with dumbfounded faces.

"Ah! Eh? Ah... is it done?"

The teacher nodded, so I handed the finished product over to her and the class was over.

"Onii-sama... what is the point of us coming to the academy..."

"Don't say it, Rain. I understand how you feel. But my goal is [advanced magic]. Also, Rain has a goal of making friends, right?"

"I wonder if I'll really be able to make friends..."

After saying that, Rain looked down a little.

Maybe so. After all, the students around us looked at us with admiration or jealousy.

There are probably some people who are jealous of my talent, but most of them are because I am next to a beautiful girl named Rain. From Rain's point of view, it's the opposite, and they look at her with jealousy.

We walked down the hallway, feeling a bit helpless.
