Nyx couldn't help but take half a step back, wondering if these people were out of their minds.He hadn't been scribbling all night last night because he wanted to show his loyalty to Ellis, but he had been forcibly confined to the library and couldn't run away!
Unfortunately, the rumors had spread so wildly within the academy that even he couldn't stop them anymore.
In just one day, Nyx Lucifer had gone from the "most rebellious demon" to the "clear stream of demons".
Meanwhile, Ellis was sitting in his tutor's office, correcting student papers.
He was flipping through a paper, his brows slightly furrowed, and was about to make notes on it when a knock suddenly came from outside the door.
"Enter."Ellis said indifferently.
The door was pushed open, and a mentor walked in with a subtle smile on his face, "Ellis, there's something I want to talk to you about regarding your contracted demon."
Ellis raised his eyes and put down his pen, "What is it?"
"Your demon ... has caused quite a discussion in the academy recently."
Ellis was silent for a split second, clearly anticipating what Nyx had caused again.
That mentor couldn't help but smile, "You should know that there are quite a few students and mentors in the academy who are wary of demons, but Nyx's appearance has caused many to look at demons differently."
Ellis listened quietly without speaking.
"They believe that not only did Nyx not scourge the earth like other demons, but instead, under your influence, he displayed a ... trustworthy attitude."
Ellis raised his eyebrows slightly, "Trustworthy?"
"Yes."The mentor nodded, "After all, a demon that genuinely yearns for a certain place wouldn't do anything to destroy it."
Ellis tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, his eyes twitching slightly.Nyx yearned for the Academy?He couldn't jump to conclusions for the moment.
"What are you trying to say?"Ellis asked directly.
The tutor smiled, "The academy hopes that you will involve Nyx in teaching more classes.This will not only increase the students' understanding of demons, but also further change the academy's view of demons."
Ellis looked at the other, his tone calm, "... Are you sure?"
The mentor nodded, "Of course, after all, he is your chosen contracted demon."
Ellis was silent for a moment before finally saying, "I'll think about it."
When Nyx learned the news, he was about to take the last piece of cake in the academy cafeteria.
As a result, the next second, he heard Ellis' words.
Involving him in teaching the course?What kind of international joke is that?Do you think demons come to the human world to give them free labor?
Nyx: "..."
He took a deep breath and looked at the cake in front of him, silently withdrawing his hand.
He never should have gotten out of bed!
Nyx stared at Ellis with a subtle expression, and after a few moments of silence, he said in an extremely deliberate tone:
"Let's just say, is there a possibility ... that this demon is still an underage demon that hasn't finished learning the demon textbook?"
Ellis sniffed and his gaze fell on him, as if pondering whether his words were worth believing.
Nyx coughed, spread his hands, and continued, "It's not that I don't want to do bad things, but I don't have that ability yet!Do you think I'm intentionally not wreaking havoc on the world?No, I just don't have enough magic power yet, understand?The difference between a demon's full body and its juvenile body is huge, and I'm just a little demon at the 'theoretical learning stage' right now!"
Ellis was expressionless, "... Are you expecting me to comfort you?"
"No!"Nyx immediately retorted, "I'm just trying to make you realize that it's completely unrealistic to expect me to act according to the standards of a mature demon!"
He paused, then added in self-loathing, "Although my magic power is stronger than an ordinary human, I can at best be considered a 'slightly capable pup' when placed in the Abyss.You're asking me to explain demonology to your students?If they ask questions, I'll have to improvise even how to lie!"
Ellis thought for a moment, "You can pick the parts you're good at and talk about them."
Nyx was instantly energized, "Then I could specialize in the lesson of 'how to defraud humans'?"
Ellis: "..."
He was silent for a moment, eventually just giving Nyx a faint look and calmly retracting the subject, "Finish eating and go to class."
Nyx looked at him and tried undaunted, "I really can't, aren't you afraid I'll misbehave?"
Ellis spoke calmly, "You overestimate your influence on them."
Nyx: "..."
