Even the Demon King is worrying about another world today.

What should we eat tonight?

“I’m not hungry,” Mikayi replied, tidying up his desk and glancing at Hedis. “By the way, you weren’t even distracted by Teacher Akman?”

Hedis: "I was indeed amazed at first glance, but after that I just appreciated it. If I had to say, Ms. Akman is not my type."

Hedis added casually, "I'm a member of the Renee faction."

Renee's Pie...

With a slip of his hand, several books fell to the ground.

I'm telling you guys... don't just casually divide people into factions.

I'd be really bothered if they were constantly hanging around my subordinates!

Don't know

Why? At this moment, Mikayi felt an inexplicable displeasure.

"So, Hedis is a lolicon, huh?" Kuro leaned his head over, grinning maliciously.

“Hmm…” Hedis fell into thought, “Maybe it really is.”

Hey, you're way too honest!

Please refute this!

"Oh!" Hedis's straightforward answer surprised Kuro. "What an honest person! Unlike some lousy master!"

"Don't drag me into this topic so easily..." Mikayi said quietly from the side.

After packing their things, the three of them left the classroom together.

Although Mikayi said he wasn't hungry, he actually ate quite a lot in order to appear like a normal person.

Thanks to his fitness fanatic roommate, Mikayi has recently become a model student.

Three meals a day, early to bed and early to rise, and occasionally a morning run.

Lanlin College's cafeteria is large enough that the entire building is used for dining.

From fish and meat from the distant eastern ocean to bison from the neighboring forest.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, bringing together cuisines from all over the world of Lolan Continent.

The college's currency system is simple: take gold coins to the front desk to recharge your black card, and then all the college's restaurants, libraries, and entertainment facilities will be open to you.

Hedis and Kuro were in charge of ordering food, while Mikaela was in charge of reserving seats. The three had a clear division of labor.

The steaming hot food was brought to the table by the waiter; the Lyon Empire seemed to have a penchant for using orcs as waiters. That long, slender cow tail that swayed back and forth completely caught Mikayi's eye.

Unable to resist glancing at the tail a few more times, Mikayi turned her head back to look at the plate in front of her.

"Chicken again..."

“Eating chicken can build muscle,” Hedis said with a smile, patting Mikayi on the shoulder. “Increasing muscle mass enhances the body’s natural defenses. Don’t underestimate it; it can actually be very useful on the battlefield.”

...I don't need to increase my defense, and besides, I have muscles too.

Mikayi was utterly helpless. Lately, she seemed to be increasingly brainwashed by this fitness fanatic.

Kuro hummed a little tune, picked up a piece of cream cake with a silver fork, and put it in his mouth.

"Miss Kuro, you won't grow taller if you only eat snacks and not main meals," Hedis kindly reminded her.

Kuro didn't care at all and kept putting the food into his mouth.

As expected of Lyon's top academy, the cakes were exquisitely made and delicious. The texture was sweet, smooth, and delicate, without being greasy at all. If it weren't for the financial constraints, Kuro would have loved to devour every single cake from Lanlin Academy.

"Not only will you not grow taller, but your breasts won't develop either," Hedis added.

"Pfft, cough cough cough..." Mika wiped his mouth, this was already the umpteenth time he had choked on water in this other world.

Hey, you! You'll get beaten up for saying that to a girl!

Mikayi instinctively looked at Kuro. He saw Kuro stop putting cake in his mouth.

She wiped the cream off her face, her eyes widening as she asked, "Really?!"

Kuro touched his flat chest, becoming increasingly flustered.

"If... if I don't develop big breasts! My master will despise me for the rest of my life!" Kuro said in horror.

"Pfft!" Mikayi, who was drinking tea, wondered if he was going to choke to death in this other world sooner or later.

"...Don't drag me into your conversation!" Mikayi thought to himself.

Hedis froze, or rather, he was petrified.

His mouth gaped open in surprise, as if it could fit a large round bowl.

“Hey…” Hedis slowly closed his mouth, but his body was still stiff. “I said, Mikayi…”

"Shut up, don't say it, it's not true." Mikayi interrupted mercilessly.

096 Practical Test

Dozens of people were scattered around the huge training field.

The top is an arc, a structure made of completely transparent glass panels. The skeleton, made of mixed metals, is arranged like a honeycomb, providing excellent stability.

The training ground was surrounded by intricate and complex defensive magic to ensure that the magical fluctuations would not overflow the area.

The venue is well-lit, with the sunlight illuminating the central circular platform without any obstruction.

The training ground was laid out much like a gladiatorial arena. Rows of stands surrounded a central circular platform, which, to ensure every spectator could clearly see the match, extended upwards in tiers, forming a funnel shape. Compared to the bloody and dark gladiatorial arena, this place was much brighter.

Such magnificent architecture is astonishing, and it's worth noting that this is just one of the many training grounds at Lanlin Academy.

The three of them, Mikayi, found a suitable place to sit down.

The space is large enough that it would feel very sparse and empty if only one class were to sit there.

The physical education teacher and the homeroom teacher walked onto the stage at the same time, eliciting a gasp of surprise from the audience.

"Ms. Renee is so cute today!"

"Ooh hoo~"

Although the speaker tried to suppress their voice, it was still passively transmitted into Mikayi's cochlea.

When Mikayi turned around, a chill ran through his eyes.

"W-What are you doing..." came the exclamation from a brown-haired boy. After being stared at like that by Mikayi, he found that the hairs on his body stood on end.

Mikayi's lips moved, but he didn't speak.

Say it! Say something like, "Please don't be so obsessed with my subordinates!"

Brown hair

Thinking this person was a rival of the "Rennie faction," he snorted disdainfully and then turned to stare madly at Rennie, the teacher in the audience.

"The practical test will be conducted with opponents randomly assigned by drawing lots. Those who can come to Lanlin Academy are all human... no, they are all the best of the Lyon Empire. Please be confident, but do not underestimate your opponents."

Renee seemed reluctant to speak; the basic matters and rules were announced by Ms. Akman.

The sound of high heels came from below. Akman was holding a cylinder containing dozens of bamboo skewers.

Akman walked straight toward Mikayi. When she reached her demon lord, her knees buckled as she instinctively almost fell to the ground.

"Akman!!"

The communication magic was transmitted into Akman's brain, and Akman reacted instantly. She bent down and handed the cylinder in her hand to Mikayi.

“Mikai, you, you’re the first one to draw.”

Hey... there's no need to send it over specially! Besides, I don't want to be the first one to attract attention!

Mikayi's lips twitched, and he grabbed a bamboo skewer at random.

The people on both sides leaned closer to look at what was written on the bamboo sticks.

Number 3

Looks like this is the third round. I wonder which lucky person will draw the same number as him.

Next, Heddis and Kuro each drew a card, with the numbers being 2 and 7 respectively.

Hedis looked at the number 2 in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

When he pulled out half of the bamboo stick, he thought it would be 3. If he was paired with Mikayi, Hedis had no confidence that he could win.

Teacher Akman seemed to be respectful only to Mikayi. She twisted her body and reluctantly handed out the lottery bucket to the academy, and every student behind her received a cold look from Akman.

However... this style seems to be quite popular.

The group of obsessed guys wiped the blood from their noses and whispered about the scene they had just witnessed up close.

"That...that's a mountain peak..."

"No, no, no, that's paradise."

"I want to die inside..."

"..."

The veins on Mikayi's forehead were bulging.

I really want to beat up these guys whose heads are full of weird stuff!

The restless crowd identified their opponents, the empire's elite, who were eager to test their skills.

After some simple adjustments, the practical test officially began.

The first group consists of one man and one woman.

The boy wielded two swords, dressed entirely in black, with neat, short blue hair. The hilts of his swords were also blue, and judging from the color of the blades alone, they appeared to be of the water element.

The girl held a short staff. It was more like a wooden stick than a magic staff, with a few bright green leaves atop the curved stick.

Plant attribute? Mikayi watched the show, chin in hand. If it's a plant attribute, then it's a branch of the earth attribute. Earth counters water, so this situation will likely be one-sided.

There were only two referees, Renee and Akman, standing in the stands, one tall and one short. Akman was holding a thick notebook and wearing black-rimmed glasses, giving her a somewhat teacher-like appearance.

With the referee's signal, the first test battle began.

In the blink of an eye, the twin-sword-wielding youth vanished from his spot. The next second, his body reappeared above the girl's head.
