Ellis was known in the academy for being calm and self-possessed, knowledgeable, treating people rigorously but not harshly, and was greatly admired by the students.But when everyone realized that this serious and earnest tutor had actually signed a contract with a demon, everyone was shocked.
"Are you sure it wasn't that demon that tricked us?How could Tutor Ellis make a contract with a demon?"
"A thousand times true, I saw them standing together with my own eyes!Mentor asked him to cooperate with the teaching, and he was still talking nonsense in class in a serious manner!"
"Are you sure Mentor Ellis didn't know he was talking nonsense?"
"The mentor reminded us at the end not to believe it all, so I guess he must have known it very well in his heart."
Thus, everyone came to the second conclusion: it was definitely not because Nix could stay here because he was smart enough, but because Ellis was smart enough.
As time passed, everyone gradually realized that although Nix was mischievous all day long, in front of Ellis, it was as if all his little tricks were seen through.Not only was the mentor unaffected, he could even point out the truth with a single sentence when he was fooling around, making Nix hold his teeth but unable to do anything about it.
Not to mention, every time Nix messed up too much, Ellis only needed a look and he would collect himself resentfully.
Thus, the trainees came to a third conclusion: not only was Tutor Ellis academically strong, he was even good at suppressing demons!
"I see, this isn't a contract, this is subjugation!"
"No wonder Nyx is still alive and kicking when he stays here, an ordinary summoner would have been crushed by his play ..."
"Tutor Ellis is truly the pride of our humanity."
However, the trainees also found something strange.
Although Nix was mouthy and always loved to make trouble, the targets of his mischief were usually other people, not Ellis.Instead, he often pestered Ellis instead, coming over to strike up a conversation every now and then, or showing up in Ellis' office, study, or even dormitory in a big way.
The most outrageous thing was that once, a trainee went to the library in the middle of the night to look up some information, but ended up passing by his mentor's office, and actually heard Nyx spouting off in there -
"Ellis, I'm really going to starve to death, if you don't care about me, I'll ... just starve to death to show you!"
Then Ellis mentor's voice came out faintly: "Don't pretend, there's a snack for you on the table."
Hearing this, that mentee was shocked on the spot: the demon would be pampered?The mentor actually prepared snacks for him?
After going back, he immediately told the others about this news, and for a while, the entire academy's soul of gossip burned.
"My god, Nyx can actually be pampered?"
"What's even more outrageous is that Mentor Ellis actually prepares snacks for him!Aren't mentors the most serious?!"
"Looking at it like this, it seems like the mentor is really taking care of him ..."
"But don't you guys think that Nyx seems to be very clingy to his mentor as well?Look at how he usually pulls so many pranks, but if his mentor calls him, he'll obediently go over."
"And he's been in the academy for so long, it's obvious that he can go back to the Abyss to enjoy his life, after all, his mentor didn't arrange anything important for him, and he's also allowed to run back, so why is he still clinging to him?"
Thus, the cadets came to a fourth conclusion: the relationship between the two of them was definitely not ordinary!
After a period of observation, the cadets finally came to the following conclusion:
1. Nix is evil, but more ... insane than expected. He loves pranks, but doesn't hurt people, and is even a bit like a noble teenager who loves to get into trouble.
2. Mentor Ellis is stronger than they thought. Not only can he keep the demons at bay, but he can even make them "behave". 3.
3. The relationship between Nix and Ellis is subtle. The way they contract is not like the traditional way of summoning and being summoned, but more like some kind of strange "mode of coexistence".
In the end, there was a rumor in the academy that Nyx might be the contracted demon of Ellis' mentor, but in reality, he seemed to be more of a demon pet that was used to annoy his mentor.
