Threat
Kiki froze."You think you're funny?""I'm just suggesting the best choice. You're worried about losing your father's guild, aren't you? I bet the shareholders already have their eyes on Sophia; she's a talented girl, after all."It didn't matter that Sophia had changed her last name to Seymour. To the rest of the world, she was still a Vane. Her father wasn't an awakener, but still he was a smart businessman and brought the once-failing guild up to top 3 in the entire world. For that reason, he was a highly respected man. They all wept when he died.If Sophia showed the same level of talent as her father, then they wouldn't hesitate in making her the next guild leader instead of Kiki. That was what Kiki was worried about. That's why she threatened me. If Sophia was to get expelled from the top hero academy, then she would be seen as a disappointment by the board member, and Kiki wouldn't have anything to worry about.But what really drove her to this point was the planetary expeditio
Date
Standing in front of the mirror, I combed my hair as I got ready for my date. I wore a black jacket over a plain white t-shirt, matched with black pants and white sneakers. After checking over my appearance, I picked up my keys and left my dorm room.Mia and I had planned to meet at Aetheria Mall. Arriving at the mall, Mia was waiting for me outside. She was wearing a bright blue dress with boots that reached up to her ankles. The expression on her face said she wasn't pleased. A small blue handbag casually dangled from her arm."I'm sorry I'm late; did you wait long?"She sighed."It's fine; let's just get this over with."I nodded."I thought we could go see a movie, but it doesn't start for another hour or so. We can go to the cafe in the meantime."Mia didn't answer, so I took her silence as a yes. The mall had a total of 3 floors with various stores. Mia and I made our way up to the third floor where the cafe was."Why does it seem like this is your first time coming here?" Mia a
It's Me
A look of shock crossed Aaliyah's face when she realized it was me who was in the storage room. Her clothes and hair were a mess, with blood dripping down her arm. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw me."What are you doing here?""I, uhh, I was doing some experiments in the lab. I didn't expect anyone to come here," I answered as I went to place the potions and chemicals back on the shelf.Aaliyah was stumped, and suddenly her entire body shook in fear. I understood it. If Mammon found out someone saw them, then she would feel the brunt of his anger.At this stage, Mammon was a demon I wouldn't even stand a chance against. He was an arch demon, after all. Levi was only barely able to defeat him when he was in his final year at the academy.He wasn't an enemy to be taken lightly. Coupled with that, he was smart and had real potential. The only issue with him was that he was sadistic nature. I think this was his main weakness.After placing the bottles on the shelf, I went over to t
A Broken Tool
As I walked through the corridors on my way home, I spotted Kiki surrounded by a group of upperclassmen. The upperclassmen really took a liking to her, and she didn't seem to mind entertaining them.I knew some of these upperclassmen by name only. All of them were of high status, belonging to prominent families who either owned a guild or sat on the board of a high-ranking guild. Some of them even had parents who were high-ranking government officials.And even if they weren't high class, if they had a powerful skill with high proficiency, that alone would be enough for them to get close to her.I listened in on the disgruntled complaints of the boys in my class a few times. Even they had feelings for Kiki, but they couldn't get close with their powerful seniors swarming her. The only one who could was Levi, who also held the respect of the upperclassmen.She had them all wrapped around her finger."Hey, Damien."Just then, as I walked past them, Kiki raised her hand and waved at me.
Princess Amelia Forest
The elf princess was standing behind me. Such a development was unexpected.The cute blonde elf tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled at me warmly.Behind her stood another elf. A handsome young man with silver hair. His good looks were second only to Levi's among the entire first year. This young man had plenty of admirers and was powerful in terms of strength.His name was Orion. He had been selected out of thousands of candidates to be the princess's bodyguard while she was at the academy. He was also deeply in love with her and hostile to anyone who came close to the princess.In the game, he even threatened Levi and asked for a duel to fight for the princess's honor. Of course, he lost, and after the duel, he grew respect for Levi and put his own feelings aside to accept his and the elf princess's relationship.If any capable demons were at this academy, they would have made sure that Orion held a resentment against Levi and then fed on it; manipulating things in such a way t
Set in Motion
After I left Aaliyah back at her room, I went back to my dorm room. The first thing I did was check my email. I received a document containing the income statement for my company. We made a little over 50,000 zencoins in profit.It wasn't bad for one month, but my profit was slowly falling. In our first month, we made 10,000 zencoins from only 1 contract. At our peak, we made more than 200,000 zencoins in a single month.We got lucky and had a total of 6 contracts with several different guilds, but now we were down to 2 contracts. The guilds were slowly pulling away, and the ones we had were even looking to negotiate the terms.The reason was that several different manufacturing companies were able to make better-quality weapons. The only reason my company hadn't gone under already was that I could sell my weapons far cheaper than their market value since it didn't cost me anything to make them.That was my only advantage. The weapons and tools I could make were subpar. They could do
