"Yes, he will be a guest for a while," Isirid said casually.

"It is an honor to meet you, young student," said the arboreal being.

"It is an honor for me, too," said Selef cordially.

"Please bring us some cake and tea," requested Isirid.

"As you wish," replied the tree-like being, before retreating once more.

A few seconds later, Selef said to Isirid:

"This labyrinth is becoming more and more surprising. That being seems to be very strong."

"It is. It is a mythical being called a dark fairy or spriggan." Inside the labyrinth, no wizard below the seventh rank has the slightest chance. You can call her Skailis.

"She won't kill me if I do?" Selef said with a mixture of jest and seriousness.

"No, she has a restriction that only allows her to attack beings that are hostile to her or the labyrinth," Isirid clarified.

"This labyrinth holds great secrets. But it's better to be cautious. I don't want to die in a stupid way by acting recklessly and unnecessarily," thought Selef.

While they waited, Isirid asked Mart:

"Why are you attending the S class?"

"Well, I left seclusion earlier than planned, and I think it's a way to learn more advanced topics. Knowledge is never wasted. It was thanks to my knowledge of demonic sorcery that I was able to support you in the past." But the main reason is that I believe there is a possibility of infiltrators in the fourth-year S class. It's something I can't rule out, so I'm taking the opportunity to observe the classmates who will accompany us to Mount Marrac.

"I understand. You want to be prepared to stop them once we're on Marrac Mountain," Isirid added.

"Yes, that's one way of putting it," said Selef, his gaze hardening for a moment.

Isirid understood that Selef had no intention of showing mercy to traitors.

Shortly after, Sakailis returned with a tray of pure gold floating in the air. On the tray was a beautiful, exquisite cake and an elegant tea set.

••••

Since Selef had no intention of shadowing Isirid for an entire month, he decided that after finishing the pastry and tea, he would leave the labyrinth.

"It will be dangerous, won't it?" asked Isirid calmly, but with a deep look in her eyes.

"Yes, that's why we must not underestimate them or show mercy to traitors. In the end, we will return and be the future of the demon world," said Selef, standing up with a confident look.

Isirid nodded. For some reason she didn't understand, as she drew closer to Selef, she felt that with him by her side, there was no way they could lose, especially when she remembered the scene from the past in which Selef gave his all when cursing a warrior in the sixth rank.

After a few days, Selef had already adapted to the Class S group. With his charm and charisma, he now led his own group consisting of Leyla, the young woman with the blindfold, and Derio Sercan, a young demon with black hair, white horns on either side of his forehead, gray eyes, and an athletic build, who was a dual sword user.

In addition to them, he talked to members of other groups in the classroom who approached him, and he took the opportunity to strike up conversations and get to know them.

"It looks like you're having fun," thought Isirid as she watched Selef become one of the leaders of the classroom in less than a week.

When the sound of heels was heard, all the students returned to their seats.

Some of the male demons seemed excited.

Shortly after, a female demon with light pink skin, pink hair with white tips, and white horns that looked like a beautiful crown around her head entered the classroom. She wore a tight white dress that showed off her sensual figure. The female demon was Professor Ilcia Besid, who looked at Selef with a subtle mischievous smile.

Some students felt their hearts break when they saw the beautiful Professor Ilcia smile at the handsome Selef.

"What happened? Did she notice something?" Selef wondered to himself.

"Don't think too much about it, I'll explain later," Isirid told Selef.

"Students, it is my duty to teach you the intermediate level of illusory demonic magic. Last year, you must have learned the basics, and this year you will strengthen them. Those who wish to pursue the study of illusory demonic magic may do so after successfully graduating from the Danteriar Academy..."

When class ended, Selef said goodbye to his group and headed with Isirid toward the Danteriar gardens, as he wanted to know what had happened.

The two walked in silence.

Selef surreptitiously observed his surroundings; he had not forgotten that there were dangerous conspirators.

After reaching the green walls and being guided to the Path of Solitude, they entered the area of black roses.

Isirid quickly created a circular stone platform and then an elegant chair.

Selef, who had already adapted to the magic of the labyrinth, created a bench and lay down, resting the back of his head on his hands.

"It seems you've become quite accustomed to this place and the S-class group," said Isirid in a natural tone as she rang the bell, producing a sound imperceptible to Selef.

"I'll try," said Selef, looking Isirid in the eyes.

She understood and said:

"Professor Ilcia is a succubus, her lineage is different from the succubus you are dating, but she must have been able to sense the mark your partner left on you."

Selef, who knew a little about the succubus race, immediately understood Isirid's words.

"In part, it is very likely that the professor has taken an interest in you, since there are very few demons capable of resisting the mark of a succubus, which means she can only increase her power through the demonic energy she absorbs through the dreams of demons," Isirid said, looking at Selef for a few seconds.

"The important thing for now is that she hasn't discovered anything, but even so, I mustn't be careless, because if she thinks about it a little, she may become suspicious..." Selef said with a serene expression as he closed his eyes to take a nap.

"Where am I?" Mart wondered to himself as he looked up at the chilling red sky. In the distance, he could see a barren, reddish land. He looked down at his white feet, which were smaller than usual and stepping on beautiful, uniform green grass.

Suddenly, Mart heard a voice that did not hide its malicious and mocking tone:

"I smelled something familiar. I never thought that woman's child would come out of her womb and live, but look at you, you're bursting with energy, you're a real treat."

The being that approached was a chimera with a humanoid face whose skin was very white. It had three eyes: two completely yellow eyes with red pupils and a large, green third eye on its forehead. That third eye seemed unnatural for that face, but there was not much to say when you saw its long, thick snake-like body, from which arms of different shapes and species of beings emerged. However, despite the fact that this Being had an imposing and fearsome presence, Mart paid little attention to it because he was fascinated by the overflowing demonic power he felt in his own body.

-Bastard, motherless, I will devour you.

Mart smiled confidently, extended his demonic perception to his surroundings, and said:

-I'm sorry. You are too weak to devour me.

Mart knew it, his power was beyond his imagination compared to the power he had wielded until now.

Mart floated, remained in the air, and created 50 blades of concentrated demonic energy without needing to extract energy from the demonic wands. The tips of the blades he created were spiral-shaped. In one breath, the first three demonic diagrams had been activated. Another breath, and he prepared the fourth diagram on the fifty blades.

"It's time to die. I never forgive those who offend me, and I never will," said Mart.

Mart waved his left hand to the side.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Fifty explosions spread to the surrounding area and a cloud of dust was raised.

"What is this? The seventh rank?" wondered Mart, who was ecstatic.

When the cloud dispersed, there was a large crater and the chimera was dying.

"Impossible. I am stronger than you," said the chimera.

"You survived! You are very resilient. But I have magic and knowledge. You will never be able to defeat me," said Mart confidently, as he created a blade of demonic energy around himself, which he pointed at the chimera. I want to try something.

Mart created a fifth diagram, which was one of the five diagrams he had created for his own personal use.

He attached the diagram to the dark purple blade, which turned a glowing orange color. He pointed with his index and middle fingers, while making a shooting gesture...

Bang!
