Miss Selenia was considered the most beautiful woman in Class A, there were even those who compared her to the two most dazzling beauties in Class S, that is with respect to the freshmen, last year; however, being only the daughter of a baron and of a mother whose father was only a merchant, among most of the high-ranking nobles she was almost as much a noble as a commoner, however. -She paused and looked Mart in the eye, then continued. -you came closer to her, little by little, you began to study, to strive, you were no longer causing trouble. -Iristel's voice seemed to contain fear, and a slight desperation. -All the while you kept getting closer and closer to her, then, according to the rumors, you took her purity during the vacations and then threw her out. She felt betrayed, desperate, and tried to kill herself, but the director saved her and sent her home to her parents.
While listening to Iristel's words, other images came to Mart's mind; he remembered the moment when he joined his body with that beautiful young woman, she clung to him with desire, passion and love, when he finished he only told her:
-You are a very tasty bitch to have a worthless cradle.
Her cheerful face distorted and darkened, what followed were unpleasant words, Mart opened his eyes and sighed.
"He's so annoying," Mart thought, then looked at Iristel.
She was nervous, she thought she could be treated the same way, what scared her the most was that he asked her to tell him about the past, she felt he could use that to humiliate her, still she wanted to hope.
-Iristel, I would never do that to you. -Those were the words with which Mart calmed her heart.
-Can I sleep over, just sleep? -she asked.
-If it won't cause you trouble, I agree," he answered.
She got up, took the silverware and before leaving, she said to him:
-I'll come back in the evening.
Mart just nodded, and the moment he was alone again, he began to try to remember.
Soon after he got up and opened a hidden compartment at the bottom of the drawer, and there were two letters, one had an ominous energy. He read the first one.
"They wanted me to get engaged, despite what had happened"
Mart muttered: -This guy really was a jerk, how could he not value that beautiful young woman.
Then he saw the other letter and asked the system to analyze it.
[Demonic system: analyzing...]
[Cursed mail: Letter sent by a Warlock, to the addressee who will be cursed to death]
[Warning: the host must not open or touch the letter, he needs to be in the third rank to resist the curse]
Mart carefully placed the letter about the engagement in the back of the drawer, then covered it again and thought with some concern: "So that's how this guy died, that's why he had no visible injuries; I'll have to start studying books on curses and countermeasures."
Stepping away from the desk, Mart returned to sit on the edge of his bed.
"The punishment for what happened with Selenia was to take away some privileges, that's why I'm in this room," after thinking about what happened, Mart muttered:
-Attributes.
The system did not take long to respond.
Mart Sevec (Stan Miller) Attributes:
Health: 10.3/11
Endurance: 10.7/11.2
Demonic Energy: 11.9/12.4 (+1.2)
Intelligence: 22.4 (+10)
Strength: 12.3
Agility: 11
[Demonic Lineage: Sevec (Demonic Strength: inactive)]]
[Demonic deity: Endless demonic energy (inactive)]
(Author's note: some attributes of the protagonist grow as he trains or activates capital traits, however I will indicate which traits increased with the help of bounties as follows: (+1.2))
Even if the results of his training and study were not as fast as the achievements acquired through the reward, Mart felt satisfied, the drop of Demon God's blood guaranteed that his efforts were not in vain, that was an even greater motivation not to stop and achieve his goal. In spite of everything, he was always very cautious, so after having thought about it for a few days, Mart asked from his mind to the system "Why was Iristel captivated by me?"
[demonic system: when the lust trait is activated, the host temporarily acquires the trait Charm: 30]
[Reminder: this system only strengthens what you are].
"You don't need to say it twice," Mart uttered in his mind. After several minutes, Mart took out the book Emy recommended and continued reading it.
Marc was walking through the halls of the Academy, having read for about two hours, he had practically finished the book so he headed towards the library to turn in the spell book.
When he arrived, he met Emy at the reception desk, greeted her and then asked her since he was curious:
-Are you here every day?
Emy with her muffled voice told him:
-Yes, but I do it because I like it and I am allowed to read some books that only fourth year students can access.
-What year are you in? -Mart asked another question using his cordial manner, the same manner that added to his beautiful appearance made him charming.
Emy's hands began to sweat, she remembered what she had thought about Mart and became a little nervous, she took a deep breath to keep calm and told him:
-I'm in third year are you coming to deliver a book?
-Yes, if you have any recommendations for spell books or books on curses, I would appreciate it. -Mart said with a captivating smile.
"Stop, please don't make fun of me," were Emy's words as she hurried to register the book, and indicated him with her muffled voice:
-If I find any books indicated, I'll let you know.
-I thank you. -After those words Mart started to walk away.
Emy had an impulse and said to him:
-Come back, I'll recommend good books.
-ha ha ha, don't worry, this library won't get rid of me so easily. -Mart walked out of the library.

In an adjoining hallway stood, Asfil reading a spell book about the different types of energy that powered the living and the undead. "I must try hard, if we get a proper grade I can aim for B class; I will prove that my power can be useful"
Mart watched her for a few seconds, then chose another path and walked away as he thought:
"It seems everyone is trying their best."
