Chapter 1 The End of the Premiere

At that moment, the Demon King's Imperial Theater, shrouded in the demons' mournful cries, concluded its first lesson. The stage lights gradually dimmed, leaving only the trembling black hellish rhythms, like a heavy layer of darkness enveloping the entire auditorium.

Outside the theater, in the corridor.

The long, deep chimes of an ancient clock still pierced the darkness in the depths of the corridor, announcing the arrival of break time.

The sound seemed to possess a mysterious magic, capable of ignoring the hard stone walls, slipping through the dark corridors, and brushing past the doors and windows of each classroom, ultimately echoing within this seemingly infinitely vast building.

Next, all the demon students in the school would usher in their first thirty-minute break.

They could use this time to find a more desirable classroom.

Or, taking advantage of the half hour when the classroom corridor connected to the functional area corridor, they could go to the functional area and spend their surplus credit coins to skip the next two-hour class.

Hyperion dragged Batcheer out of the classroom and threw him onto the carpet in the corridor.

Ranch felt like he had just come out of the opera house, stretching and seemingly still enjoying the aftertaste.

"Where are we going next?"

Hyperion asked.

"Are you hungry?"

Ranch hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hyperion and asked.

"A little."

Hyperion replied.

She inexplicably felt like they were discussing their next itinerary after watching a concert together.

"Then let's go have dinner first, and then come back and continue studying."

Ranch said with a grin.

Completely different from his miserable state at the Academy of Icrete during the day, he was now genuinely happy.

"Okay."

Hyperion looked at Ranch's energetic appearance and felt that the school leaders of the Academy of Icrete would be lost in thought if they saw him now.

Although playing with Ranch in this demon academy was a bit tiring, being his teammate was always exceptionally reassuring.

"How is he going to lead the way?"

Hyperion quickly turned her gaze to Batcheer on the ground.

After being taken out of the Demon King's Imperial Theater, Batcheer was no longer tormented awake by the sounds of hell.

It was as if he had been turned off.

Hyperion didn't understand healing or awakening magic very well, so she looked at Ranch, who might be more proficient than her.

"Hyperion, do you know? There's a good medicine that can both anesthetize and awaken the patient."

Ranch sighed with a smile, with a sense of vicissitudes of a benevolent doctor, and looked at Hyperion to test her.

Hyperion thought for a while, not knowing which drug Ranch was referring to.

And could they really quickly find this drug in the demon academy?

However, she followed Ranch's gaze and moved down.

She discovered.

Ranch was staring at her fist.

Hyperion: "..."

Hyperion felt that if she continued to argue with Ranch, her merits would be deducted.

"Come on, Hyperion, quickly use your magic to wake him up."

Ranch said.

Hyperion only dared to nod, not daring to speak, for fear of being heard by the goddess.

Next, the two of them, like attending physicians and nurses, began to treat Batcheer.

Finally, amidst Batcheer's screams, he regained consciousness.

...

"I have to say, your vitality is really strong."

Ranch looked at the resurrected Batcheer like the Virgin Mary praising life, and said joyfully.

"You, how did you wake me up?"

Batcheer felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he had lost some memory.

Even now, although he was awake, he felt that his whole body and spirit were still sunk in the abyss of a mud pit.

"I am a healing demon, of course I have a way."

Ranch's holy and strange radiant demon figure seemed to be bathed in heaven, giving Batcheer salvation.

"I, I feel something is wrong... What exactly happened in the classroom just now..."

Batcheer was dubious.

He always felt like he had had an exceptionally long nightmare, dreaming that a gray-haired demon used black mist-like demonic sounds to plunge him into an inescapable hell of pain!

"Don't think so much about illusory things, they are all your hallucinations. You can now distinguish between reality and illusion. Look at your pockets."

Under Ranch's prompting, Batcheer touched his pockets and found two more credit coins.

This was the reward that the director gave him after Batcheer passed the lesson.

Because Batcheer was unconscious at the time, the director directly helped him put it in his pocket.

Batcheer looked at the three black and gold coins with red light in disbelief, and felt like he had returned from a nightmare to a beautiful dream.

It was only the first lesson break, and he had already received three credit coins!

In the past, Batcheer would never have dared to imagine it!

"How is it, do you believe it was a beautiful dream?"

Ranch asked with a smile.

He was also very happy to see Batcheer happy.

"Where shall we go next?"

The pain on Batcheer's body seemed to be dispelled in an instant, and he quickly stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and asked Ranch.

"Student Batcheer, take us to that Demon King's Imperial Restaurant branch in the academy that you mentioned."

Earlier, Ranch had heard Batcheer say that there was an extremely expensive restaurant in the school that could provide the highest quality delicacies of the Demon Realm.

There were even some limited-edition meals that could increase one's attributes within a day.

Ranch felt that he should carefully savor the top demon world delicacies of this era, and then return to the mortal world and share with his old Talia his feelings after enjoying these delicacies, and even edit the scenes in the [Shadow World Recording Program] into a column for her to see.

This was the only thing Ranch could do for the homesick Talia.

"Demon King's Imperial Restaurant..."

However, after hearing Ranch's destination, Batcheer seemed to have some intention of retreating.

"What's wrong? Isn't the functional area supposed to be safe?"

"That area is a place where the students with the most surplus credit coins in the school go, and everyone who frequents there is the most dangerous student in the school... If you are not a famous student, going there and taking up their resources for enjoyment may lead to resentment..."

Batcheer said with some worry.

Although the functional area was relatively safe, Batcheer was very afraid of coming into contact with the highest-level demon students in the school.

"I see."

Ranch took out the teaching staff badge that the head of the music department had given him from his pocket and pinned it to his chest.

"But I am now a school teacher."

"???"

Batcheer stared dumbfounded at the exquisite badge on Ranch's chest.

So the Radiant Demon who had been with him for so long was originally a teacher? Was he messing around with students, blowing up classrooms, and having fun while taking advanced studies part-time?
