The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 24 - The Disadvantaged News

'Kreeek!'

The door to Class F opened slowly. Showing the figure of Lucius who looked exhausted.

"Morning.." said Lucius in a faint voice.

All of his friends turned their heads, looking at Lucius' different appearance far from usual.

"Morning, Lucius. What the hell happened to you?" sophia asked curiously, and worried.

With eyes so exhausted and drowsy, Lucius replied.

"Just a little trouble sleeping...."

Of course, Lucius did not intend to lie. But he also has no intention of telling the truth.

That he was hunting until midnight yesterday. And in the morning when the sun had not yet shone, Lucius insisted on returning to practice using Mana Flow.

Lucius who only sleep about 3 hours after a lot of physical activity, would be very tired.

"Oi, are you serious? You didn't hear what's going on today?" max asked in a panic.

"Eh? What's up?"

Emily is seen controlling two of her teddy bears. The two teddy bears carried a brownish sheet of paper to Lucius.

"What's this?" lucius asked as he bent his body to grab the paper.

When he saw it, Lucius' eyes opened wide.

"What the fuck is this?! Why did I just find out?! When shared?!" asked Lucius in a panic.

His classmates looked at each other's faces before sighing.

"Well.... That fucking E class. Don't tell me they didn't give it to you on purpose?" ask Alex in a annoyed tone.

"Class E?"

"Chairman of the Student Council, Luna Frostbourne shared it yesterday afternoon. And the one assigned for the second year is class E. They must have accidentally not sent it to you." Oliver explained.

Max at the end of the class seemed to be scratching his head in astonishment.

"Actually, what have you done that everyone hates, Lucius?" ask Max.

"You ask me? Aren't you also my classmate in E class before?"

Max was unable to answer and could only turn his face away. Avoiding eye contact with Lucius.

That's because Max, including Alex, Oliver and Emily, didn't want to get involved in Lucius and Edward.

And because of that, they deliberately stepped aside without taking anyone's side. Just be a spectator in silence.

"Sorry.." continued Max.

But Lucius did not care about the past at all. Because of what is in front of him right now....

...[.Evaluation Held]...

...[.We, the Student Council, note that the performance and ability of students begin to decline every year. Therefore, we will conduct an impromptu evaluation to see your abilities directly]...

...[.The capabilities we will test are: Physical ability and Mana capacity. If you do not pass the standards we have set, by the power of the Student Council, we will remove you at that time]...

...[.Signed, Luna Frostbourne]...

Cold sweat started pouring down Lucius' face after reading everything in detail.

How not?

'Buahahaha! Aren't you so fucking unlucky, Lucius? You drained your Mana this morning, and now there's a test of Mana's capacity? You're sure you're going out, aren't you?!' carmilla shouted while laughing loudly.

'Glek!'

Lucius swallowed his saliva while thinking that this was the worst situation he could hope for.

Since his Mana had been drained out this morning, it was certain that he would not pass the Mana capacity test. Even though he actually has a large enough capacity though.

"W-how could he make a decision like getting the other students out? Who is he really?" asked Lucius annoyed.

Meanwhile, his other friends seem to give way and also calm to Alex.

'Stamp!'

Alex placed his hand on Lucius' left shoulder while giving such a serious look.

"You're really a country boy?" ask Alex annoyed.

"I'm sorry if that's the case." Lucius replied, turning his face away.

"Well...."

Alex looks like he's breathing. As if preparing to give a long enough explanation to Lucius.

"Luna Frostbourne, chairman of the Student Council at Damacia Academy, is the most talented student the academy has ever seen. Most of the Professors in this academy treated him with distinction. It says, he'll soon reach S rank in his fourth or fifth year."

"Eh?! Waitaminute! He had already reached A grade in his third year?!" asked Lucius in a panic.

Alex can be seen nodding his head while continuing to pat Lucius on the shoulder.

"And you know what? Even the current Magic Hero, Alora Skyweaver, had acknowledged her talent and was in the mood to educate her after graduation at this academy."

'Deg! The deg!!'

Lucius' heart immediately beat so fast after hearing that fact.

His heart was filled with one emotion. That is envy.

How could, a student who was only a year older than him, have been acknowledged by the current Magic Hero, Alora Skyweaver. The figure of a genius magician who could control space and dimension itself.

But....

'Don't you also have been acknowledged by someone who's quite great?' carmilla asked in such a happy tone.

Lucius also woke up. That looking at the luck of others with feelings of envy, while himself has also obtained a fortune that no one else can imagine....

It is a sign of greed.

"Sorry." said Lucius with a faint smile.

"I'm sorry? Why apologize to me? I'm just explaining it at a glance at...."

Lucius immediately walked past Alexander Brown's figure. And immediately sit in his chair.

In his mind right now was only one. That was somehow, recovering the Mana within his body quickly before that Student Council came and did an evaluation in this F class.

"They'll probably come in this F class at last right?" asked Lucius curiously.

"You're right. Class F can be sure to be tested at the very end. So Lucius, you might be able to rest for a while?" ask Alex to come back.

Without listening to the end of Alex's words, Lucius had fallen asleep with the table on his back.

That was all he could do to at least recover some of his Mana.

"He's asleep?" sophia asked with a smile on her face as she looked towards Lucius.

"Let him rest. Seeing Lucius exhausted like that." replied Max.

"I understand. I'll think of a reason to give Mr. Anderson later." Oliver said.

Meanwhile, Emily is seen controlling two of her little teddy bears to massage Lucius' exhausted shoulders.

"Emmyl.... Help.." he said in a soft voice.

But of course.

"E-Emily, I don't think that's gonna help?" sophia asked with an awkward laugh.

In the end, Mr. Anderson came to teach. Several unreasonable reasons given by Oliver, as well as the senile nature of Mr. Anderson, managed to make Lucius allowed to rest in the classroom as long as not to interfere with the lesson.

And everything....

Following the lesson with a feeling of obstruction in their hearts. Because never know when the Student Council will come and evaluate in class F.

As well as whether they could pass this impromptu evaluation or not.
