"Oh my~ It seems there's no precedent for a human enrolling, but as long as you don't expose yourselves, you won't be eaten, you know."
Iruma:!!!!
"Fortunately, Shesi and Iruma are both good children. If you two dared to refuse to be my grandsons, I'd have no choice but to have you both on the dinner table tonight."
Sullivan snapped his fingers again, and two buckets of water poured over Shesi and Iruma.
"Alright, this perfume will cover your human scent. Tomorrow is the entrance ceremony, so wake up early. Good night."
Only Shesi and Iruma were left in the room.
"Brother… this," Iruma looked at Shesi, who had his eyes closed.
"System, how much longer until I can Adapt to this place?" Shesi asked his system in his mind.
"Ding… Approximately three more days."
Shesi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that three days would be acceptable. To be honest, Shesi had always felt his system was quite useless; from awakening until now, it had only given him one ability: [Adaptation].
[Adaptation]: The environment won't Adapt to you, but you can Adapt to the environment. Your body is always getting stronger, all for the sake of surviving in various environments.
It sounded powerful, but in the human world, the biggest crises were lack of money and his good-for-nothing parents.
Shesi sighed and looked at Iruma.
"Let's just go with the flow." Shesi couldn't directly say that this demon wasn't dangerous, and besides, wouldn't we do better in the demon world?
In the corridor outside the door, a red-haired person with two ears looked at Sullivan.
"There's a limit to being willful. There are plenty of demon children; what are you thinking, taking a human as your grandson?"
"Ah, Opera… it's nothing." Opera met Sullivan's gaze.
"Well, you'll understand later. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow~" With that, Sullivan walked past Opera.
Late at night, Shesi felt his body undergoing a slight change… The next morning, Shesi looked at the still-sleeping Iruma and couldn't help but rub his forehead. Seriously, little brother, we've been sold to the demon world, haven't we? Sold to a demon, right? And you can still sleep? Even knowing the plot, I can't sleep… Shesi, with dark circles under his eyes, looked at his still-sleeping brother. Just as he was about to wake him, he found himself staring a bit blankly at Iruma's sleeping face. Shesi didn't need to be this tired, but Iruma, this younger brother, always caused him some unnecessary trouble or bother. However, Shesi felt that Iruma's smile truly had a magical charm.
Thinking this, Shesi smiled, and then the door opened.
"Shesi, Iruma, good morning~ Did you sleep well last night?" Sullivan said as soon as he opened the door, with Opera, dressed in a butler's uniform, standing beside him.
"Hmm… my brother probably slept better, but I might be a little sleep-deprived?" Shesi glanced at Sullivan and said, then shook Iruma awake, who was still sleeping.
"Huh?" Iruma groggily sat up and looked around.
"Ah! It's not a dream!"
Shesi looked at Sullivan.
"Grandpa, can I have a separate room?" Shesi felt this request shouldn't be too much. After all, from what he knew in his previous life and from seeing the castle from the outside when they arrived, it was so big that only Sullivan and Opera should be living there, so asking for a separate room shouldn't be excessive. Moreover, Shesi had his own plans. Last night, Shesi discovered that his body seemed to be changing a bit, as if [Adaptation] was making him Adapt to the demon world's environment. Such changes in his body would definitely be seen by his brother. If he slowly turned into a demon… he couldn't let Iruma see it.
"Grandpa~ Opera! Shesi called me Grandpa!" Sullivan immediately became excited when he heard Shesi call him Grandpa.
"Of course!"
Sullivan snapped his fingers without thinking, and suddenly another room appeared next to their current room.
"Thank you," Shesi said, then went to look at his room. It seemed to be no different from Iruma's.
Soon, everyone arrived in front of a sign.
"How exciting, my grandsons' entrance ceremony~ Come, come, you two stand on my left and right~" Sullivan handed the camera to Opera beside him and also used magic to allow Shesi and Iruma to understand the text above.
Entrance Ceremony
After taking the photo, the group walked towards the academy. Along the way, Iruma even spoke to Opera.
"Um… you're Opera, right? Where's the school?"
Opera, very aloof, pointed forward with his hand. On the other side of the mist, a huge academy appeared. The presence of the mist seemed to make the academy even more mysterious. For a moment, even Shesi was a little engrossed in watching, as what he had seen in his previous life was far less shocking than experiencing it in person. Iruma also looked over and let out an astonished "Wow." Then, a group of people—or rather, demons—appeared above their heads, flying towards the academy.
"That is Babirus, the demon academy," Sullivan introduced at this point.
Sullivan and Opera dropped Shesi and Iruma off at the academy gate and then left for various reasons.
Shesi and Iruma had no choice but to walk in by themselves. Was Shesi nervous now, to be honest? A little, but not much. After all, he had lived for 14 years in the human world, a place that might be even scarier than the demon world, and knowing some of the plot, he wasn't overly timid. Iruma, on the other hand, looked around fearfully, clutching Shesi's coattail with one hand, walking with his head down behind Shesi.
Seeing Iruma like this, Shesi also sighed. After all, it was his first time, so he was bound to be scared.
Suddenly, a voice called out to the two of them.
"Hey, you two."
Shesi turned his head and saw four demons in different uniforms looking at him and Iruma.
"Us?" Shesi asked, confused. No, wait? Was that old man's… Grandpa's? Or should I just say old man's? Was the potion that ineffective? Were they discovered? Shesi's nerves suddenly tensed up. Although he had almost forgotten the previous events, he didn't remember this kind of plot! But if they were discovered, then he could only… at least let his brother escape… "The auditorium is over there," the leading demon said.
"Oh… thank you?" Shesi breathed a sigh of relief. He had just said thank you, but then Shesi suddenly froze. Is saying thank you useful in the demon world? Do they understand what it means?
"Mm, no problem."
Evidently, the demons understood.
Shesi and Iruma continued to walk towards the auditorium. Suddenly, they saw a large, scantily-clad figure nearby, wielding an axe at someone who was clearly a Teacher.
"What do you think you're doing!" the Teacher asked after dodging.
"A sparring match before the entrance ceremony! If I defeat a Teacher, my reputation will grow! Power is everything!"
"I see. You idiot."
Iruma and Shesi walked past, a little cold sweat on their brows.
