'This bastard is a good seed.' The old man thought as he looked down on Lucifer.
It was weird that the old man thought that Lucifer was a good seed even though he was the one to strike him down unconscious.
However, the main reason why the old man thought that Lucifer was indeed a good seed was exactly because he was the one to strike him down unconscious.
Although it was a weird...reason, it was actually not.
As the old man was the one to strike Lucifer down, the old man knew how much power he used.
He knew how much power he used, and he was confident that the amount of power that he used was enough to make a veteran knight serving the country cough up blood.
Right, his chopping power was enough to make a veteran knight go weak in the knees.
However, when he used that kind of power against Lucifer, Lucifer...didn't even cough up blood.
He just straight went to sleep and got stuck on the ground without doing anything.
Although passing out immediately was definitely bad and a sign that Lucifer was not a good seed, it was...actually not.
Right, for the old man, that was not a sign of Lucifer being a bad seed.
Instead, he took it as a sign of Lucifer being a good seed.
Why? It was because...
'He didn't cough up blood. His body is insanely strong.'
Right, it was because of the fact that Lucifer didn't even cough up blood.
After all, a veteran knight serving the kingdom would cough up blood if hit by the old man's chopping strike!
The fact that Lucifer's body didn't even get affected...didn't even show any signs of injury was already good.
Of course, there might be some internal injury, but that could be fixed by teaching Lucifer how to control his tough body better.
'Right, that could be taught. However, the thing that we need to fix about this bastard is that consciousness.'
Lucifer passed out while he was struck by the old man. Although his body was definitely good in the eyes of the old man, his consciousness...was just trash.
No, was it perseverance or tolerance for pain? The old man didn't know how to term it properly, but that was just because he didn't care much about it.
After all, things would get going once the First Academy found the right teacher to train Lucifer.
Anyway, now that the old man finally finished his assessment of the two late students, it was now time to finally leave this place.
After all, this wasn't the place for the First Academy's exam.
That was why the old man spoke as he whipped his head to the cowering Asgo.
"You! Carry this piece of shit, and follow me." The old man said out loud as he opened his mouth wide.
The old man naturally spit his saliva due to how fierce he talked, but it seems that the old man didn't care about that at all as he turned his body around.
His hands were now right behind his back as he started to walk towards a door.
Right, the door which the old man was walking towards was the place where the First Academy's exam is taking place.
And the old man continued walking towards that without even looking back at Asgo and Lucifer who he knocked out.
It was quite irresponsible for him to knock Lucifer down and just leave him alone, but well.
That was how most professors were even in an ordinary academy.
Anyway, when Asgo heard what the old man said...he hesitated for a bit.
After all, what the old man said was that Asgo should carry Lucifer and walk with him in tow.
That was just...impossible for Asgo. After all, he feared Lucifer so much that even right now Asgo believed that Lucifer would wake up and finish them all.
However, that hesitation only lasted for a bit as Asgo knew that what he should do right now is what a student should do.
Right, Asgo should act as a student even though he feared Lucifer.
Well, Lucifer already told him that Asgo should just act like how he always acted.
That was why Asgo thought that he would...die if he didn't follow Lucifer's orders.
After all, it was Lucifer who ordered Asgo to act normal.
Anyway, when Asgo finally decided to just act normal, he immediately pulled out Lucifer from the ground.
It seems that Asgo was strong as he was able to pull out Lucifer without any real problems.
Of course, he pulled Lucifer out with shaking hands and with extreme care as he didn't want to leave any injuries to Lucifer.
He didn't want to die, after all.
Asgo didn't stop for a moment to rest or something like that as he immediately latched Lucifer's arms around his neck as he stood up together with him.
Asgo made sure that his grip on Lucifer was strong as he didn't want Lucifer to fall down.
Well, he didn't want Lucifer to wake up, finding out that Asgo was carrying him or something like that.
After all, Asgo was sure that once Lucifer finds out about this...he was dead meat.
And it was then that Asgo finally started walking with Lucifer's arms around his neck.
It seems that Asgo had a really good balance as well as he was able to walk while supporting Lucifer with no problems.
'I b-better be careful...' Asgo thought with a worried look on his face.
And it was with that face that he looked for the old man. But it seems that the old man was gone now as Asgo couldn't look for the old man at all.
Well, it's not like Asgo didn't know where to go now. He noticed where the old man walked towards, and that was the door that Asgo could see not so far from him.
That was why Asgo walked towards that door as he was sure that his destination is beyond that door.
No...Asgo tried to move and walk his legs, but he soon found out that he couldn't...move at all.
And that was weird as Asgo could move perfectly just a while ago.
Hell, he could even pull out Lucifer from the ground with his hands and body shaking!
However, it all then made sense as Asgo could hear a voice enter his ears.
That voice was chillingly low, and Asgo could recognize the owner of the voice right away even though he didn't see him.
Right, and that was because the owner of the voice was the demon he feared the most, Lucifer.
"Hmm...That old coot is strong, but not as strong as that Sebastian or whatever his name is." Lucifer said as he opened his eyes without a problem.
However, he didn't move his body at all as he just pretended to be supported by Asgo.
Well, it was only natural that Lucifer would keep on pretending that he was supported by Asgo.
After all, that was what he did the whole time! Pretend!
Right, Lucifer was just pretending when the old man suddenly knocked him out.
After all, it would be weird if Lucifer was able to stand against the old man, a professor in the First academy.
Although the First Academy definitely had the worst reputation and image, it doesn't mean that their staff was bad or something like that.
What's more, Lucifer knew better than anyone to underestimate a demon.
That was why Lucifer immediately knew that the right move to make then and there was just to pretend that he got knocked out.
Of course, now that the old man was no longer in this room, and Lucifer could feel that there was no one watching them, he opened his eyes and talked.
Well, he wouldn't really start moving right now as the old man might feel it.
However, there was a reason why Lucifer even 'woke' himself up, even putting his disguise at risk.
And that reason was...Asgo. Right, it was the demon who was carrying him right now.
"Asgo. From now on, I want you to act normal."
"That old coot judged you as a normal demon, and that is what you would do from now on."
"Do you understand?"
"If you understood, shake your right hand a little bit."
Lucifer said all those words with his head lowered. Well, that was just because he was hanging from Asgo.
He then closed his eyes to pretend once more as soon as he felt that Asgo shook his right hand.
After all, he already got his point across. There was no need to stay awake and risk himself here.
The only time Lucifer could risk everything is the moment Lucifer was confident that he would be able to fight against another Hell God.
Anyway, when Lucifer finally stopped talking, Asgo...quickly changed gears.
After all, he already got the order from the man himself.
That was why Asgo spoke with burning and passionate eyes.
"Alright, let's pass this exam!" Asgo said with a voice...that sounds real.
And it was then that Asgo, carrying the pretending Lucifer, finally walked towards the room.
