All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 142

Kenneth gnashed his teeth, laid up to recover from the major injuries he sustained in today’s duel.

‘Damn it! Because of that moron!!’

He had carelessly provoked a highest-grade spirit, causing it to go berserk.

Kenneth ground his teeth, injured by the aftermath.

In a way, it was an opportunity.

A chance to make up for the points he had lost in the written exam.

If he could only pacify the highest-grade spirit.

And if he could contract with the highest-grade spirit that had rejected Eose.

Then he could gain recognition from the instructors and become the student council president.

“Damn it!!”

But he failed.

Even for Kenneth, who had contracted with two high-grade spirits, communicating with a highest-grade spirit was too much.

Instead, he was caught in Silmarion’s fury and suffered a major blow.

With this level of injury, he wouldn’t be able to summon spirits for at least two months.

For a spiritist, not being able to summon spirits was a devastating setback.

“Damn it……!!”

It was an opportunity.

A chance to look down on Rowena, who had rejected him.

That opportunity had flown away.

“Damn it!!”

Thinking of her, who had calmly and coolly protected the students and proven herself even in that situation, he was once again filled with resentment.

Once loved, but now the object of his hatred, she was the only student council president candidate who remained unscathed.

Hearing that she had even been elected as the student council president only fueled his anger.

“This can’t go on.”

In this case, it might be better to become Krudin.

No, even Eose, who caused the rampage, would be fine.

Anyone would be better, as long as it wasn’t her.

But in the end, it became Rowena.

To swallow that anger and frustration, he struggled to run a hand over his face.

‘What should I do?’

But no matter what method he considered, there was no way to stop her inauguration as student council president.

Even if he wanted to attack during the inauguration ceremony, he couldn’t summon spirits right now.

That only brought greater despair and anger.

In the end, he made a choice he shouldn’t have.

Getting up from his seat, he clutched the paper in his pocket.

‘I absolutely can’t stand to see her succeed.’

Even if it meant his own destruction.

He staggered up from his seat and left.

Kenneth, who had secretly slipped out of the Theocracy of the Sun’s recovery room, headed for the Mial Mountains.

Entering the Mial Mountains in a state where he couldn’t even summon spirits was quite dangerous.

But blinded by jealousy and hatred, he didn’t care.

Avoiding the monsters, he arrived at a crossroads where ley lines [naturally occurring lines of energy] intersected and magical energy flowed, and he built an altar.

Then, he took out one of the sacred objects he had brought and set it on fire.

-Whoosh!!

The sacred object burned.

Confirming the divine power emanating from it, he tossed the burning sacred object onto the makeshift altar and chanted a spell.

“Ellaime. Eltain. Cruseline Altar.”

As a senior student, he had fought against demon contractors several times.

In the process, he had learned the rituals for making contracts with demons.

Chanting the spell he had learned back then, he slashed his arm and scattered blood.

At the same time, a faint voice was heard along with a strong smell of sulfur.

“It’s been a while since someone has summoned a demon in this way.”

“……Who is it?”

“I am the Great Demon Crowley.”

At the word ‘Great Demon,’ Kenneth flinched.

The spell he knew was supposed to summon a high-ranking demon.

But why did a Great Demon appear?

The voice spoke leisurely to him, who was flustered.

“There were no demons around the Academy who wanted to come, so I came.”

“I, is that so? Why?”

“That’s none of your business. Now, what do you want?”

That’s right.

That’s not what’s important.

If it’s a Great Demon, wouldn’t they handle the job more thoroughly?

He swallowed hard and stated his wish.

“Prevent Rowena Salt from becoming the student council president.”

The demon groaned at that wish.

“Hmm…… Is this a matter related to the Academy?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Right now, Fredon Academy is the most dangerous area for demons.”

The hesitant voice made a decision.

“Fine. It’s a bit unsettling, but I had to meet him once anyway. What’s the price?”

“I’ll give you my soul.”

“You humans seem to think we want your souls. We don’t care about such things.”

“Then what do you want?”

Crowley’s laughter was heard.

Red smoke rose from the intersection of ley lines, transforming into a beautiful woman with a red dress and luscious red hair.

With a bewitching beauty, she walked gracefully and placed her hand on Kenneth’s chest.

“Your body.”

“……What?”

“Don’t misunderstand. Not in a sexual way. I want your body. So I can operate here.”

“Are you saying…… if you grant my wish, you’ll take my body?”

“Yes.”

Crowley smiled and whispered in a sweet voice.

“I sense hostility and anger. Very dark, petty, and low-class.”

Since he was doing this out of jealousy, it couldn’t be considered good.

Kenneth agreed with Crowley’s words.

He knew.

That his actions were petty, cowardly, and despicable.

“But if I don’t…….”

He might go mad with jealousy and anger.

Crowley, who was staring straight at him, smiled brightly.

“That’s how human emotions are. And I like that pettiness.”

She gave a captivating smile that anyone could fall for, then sent a look of contempt.

“Barely avoiding destruction, yet unable to abandon that pettiness. It proves that’s your true nature, doesn’t it?”

She shrugged, speaking lightly.

“Well. The old-fashioned guys who want destruction don’t seem to understand this beauty.”

Crowley wrapped her long arm around Kenneth’s shoulder.

Looking into her eyes, he knew.

That the attractive beauty in front of him was stronger than any demon he had fought so far.

That gave him confidence.

“First, I need to hide inside your body. It’ll be troublesome if I get caught. I’ll put you forward as much as possible, and then take your body as soon as the job is done.”

“There are the Theocracy of the Sun and the Theocracy of the Moon in Fredon Academy. If you come in…….”

“I’m a Great Demon, after all. There are plenty of ways to hide, so don’t worry about that. The important thing is someone else…… well. He probably won’t notice either.”

The reason demons avoid the Academy isn’t because of the Theocracy of the Sun and the Theocracy of the Moon.

It was because of a dangerous person they could call insignificant.

Ian, who could crush Great Demons and the Seven Deadly Sins in one blow.

The biggest problem was that Ian, who somehow knew and found the demons so well, was staying there.

To avoid him, she had to hide her power as much as possible and conceal her body behind Kenneth’s soul.

But there was no need to tell him that far, so she asked nonchalantly.

“So, will you make the contract?”

Preventing Rowena from becoming the student council president.

Giving up his body as the price.

It was a contract he would never make under normal circumstances, but immense jealousy and anger prevented him from making a wise choice.

He nodded seriously, and Crowley grinned.

And made eye contact with Kenneth.

The moment her blood-red eyes gleamed bewitchingly.

Her body disappeared, and a dark aura gathered around him.

The day of Rowena’s inauguration as student council president arrived.

As Ian was about to head out to participate, Kirke’s report came in.

“How many?”
