[Mia's POV]"I swear he will pay, that scum. And here I was planning on letting him off the hook if he said he wasn't like his family. If he had denounced them, then I wouldn't feel uncomfortable being in the same class as him. To think he supports then or worse, he doesn't care. And what gives him the right to touch me? I'll make sure he suffers for this."Just then, the image replayed again in my mind. It felt as if I was about to burst with anger."I should've chopped his arm off. It's no less than he deserves."No, Mia!SLAP!I quickly slapped my hands on my cheeks and took a deep breath."I can't allow myself to fall to his level. How would I face Levi then?"But even then, I still couldn't let him off scot-free.That stupid look on his face. It keeps replaying in my mind over and over.That blank expression of his."It infuriates me!"It was as if I was talking to a robot or a brick wall. Nothing I said about his family's evil deeds fazed him. There wasn't one shred of remorse i

Theodore and I walked to our martial arts elective. When we got to the room, Sensei Barrett was sitting in a lotus position meditating. We quickly hurried to the changing room and returned for class.When we returned, the sensei had already stopped meditating and stood with his hands behind his back. The two of us lined up side by side in front of him. It seemed Asmura wouldn't be joining us today.It must've been because of what happened at the last class. She was a demon that got beaten by a human. An old man, no less.I understood how she felt to some degree.The demon king specifically asked us to kill the heroes in the academy that might pose a threat to him. If we failed, it meant death.The only other way out was if I sought the protection of the protagonist. If I confessed to him that I was a demon and asked him to protect me against the demon king's wrath.As if...That was the path most of the demons that infiltrated the academy took. They bowed their heads to the protagonis

The world around me morphed and spiraled as I stepped through the portal. For a moment I felt light-headed, and I could feel bile rising from the pit of my stomach, but that all disappeared the moment my feet were back on the ground. The space around me was pitch black. I took out the light source I bought and attached it to my chest before turning it on. Immediately the space was lit up, and I could see more clearly.A cavernous expanse laid before me. The ground was made of sharp, jagged black rocks, and so were the walls. Behind me, the portal machine was still active. I found it strange that there were no monsters in the area or that the machine managed to remain intact inside a dungeon.Putting that aside, there were several paths branching off before me. The space was narrow and only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. This made it all the more dangerous since there wouldn't be enough space to fight.A swordsman couldn't effectively swing his sword in a place like

Walking over to the crystal, I pulled it from the wall and examined it. It was small in size. Something this small would only go for about 100 Zen coin.Sigh."Dungeons were a real grind."Mumbling to myself, I walked over to the goblin corpse lying on the ground. The pamphlet they gave me before said that the weakest goblins' core in the dungeons go for about 150 Zen coin. So I needed to kill at least 6 of these lower-level goblins before I even began to break even after selling the crystal.The beast core for a zombie lay beneath its rib. Right where its heart was supposed to be. That was why I aimed for its stomach instead of its chest. If the beast core was damaged, I'd be lucky if I could even sell it.The light source which I had bought and placed on my chest was flickering on and off. The room would be brightly lit for a few seconds before descending into pitch black. It seemed it was damaged during the battle with the goblin.Looking at the light source on my chest, I couldn't

My eyes shot open as I hopped to my feet, dagger in hand. It felt as if a horde of goblins was coming in my direction.Could they be coming after me?It was a possibility.Although weaker, goblins had the same nerve endings as me in their feet, if I moved, they'd be able to sense me at a close distance. If I had to make an estimate, there were roughly around twenty of them.With each core going for about 150 zencoin, plus the cores that I had on hand now, if I was somehow able to kill all these goblins, then I could earn more than what I receive in a month at this school. I would make roughly about, 3600 zencoins whereas I received 2410 zencoins monthly.I wasn't alone in this dungeon. There were other students competing with me inside this dungeon, and the only monsters here were goblins.Dungeons weren't popular among the first-year students and the upper-classes won't bother with a low ranked goblin dungeon, so I didn't have to worry too much about other students.Why would a 16-ye
