When Maica woke up, it was already late at night.
Theorate's welcoming party for the freshmen had ended, only some staff were cleaning up the E5 teaching block.
What happened?
Maica shook his head. He had just woken up from unconsciousness, but he wasn't fully awake yet.
However, a few seconds later, Maica recalled the past.
2567！
The Devil!
The moment the memory popped up in his mind, Maica couldn't help but tremble.
He stood up wobbly and walked out in a muddle-headed manner.
However, before Maica could reach the door, a voice stopped him.
"Maica.
"You woke up just in time."
If you didn't wake up, I'd have to resort to some special methods. "
Standler appeared in front of Maica in a neat outfit.
"Get lost!"
Maica said angrily.
"I want to but …"
"I'm not here because of myself."
Standler shrugged with a bitter smile.
"What do you mean?"
Maica asked with a frown.
"2567 became the First Seat."
Standler said.
"Yes, of course."
Maica wasn't surprised at all. Given how powerful Standler was, it would be strange if he didn't become the First Seat.
However, when Standler told him what happened next, Maica widened his eyes.
"The two of us became his assistants."
"What did you say?"
"I said the two of us became his assistants, appointed by 2567 himself."
"How did it happen?
I guess it's because the two of us left an impression on him, or should I say … among the freshmen, he only 'knew' us both. "
The bitter smile on Standler's face turned even more bitter.
Becoming the First Seat's assistant wasn't a good thing for Standler, who already had a goal and had a detailed plan.
Everyone knew the First Seat's assistant had to spend a lot of time and effort to help the First Seat supervise and manage the entire cohort of students.
Once a First Seat's assistant became the First Seat's assistant, it meant saying goodbye to all extracurricular activities.
Sometimes, the First Seat's assistant might even become a scapegoat.
Despite that, there were still a lot of common students who were willing to take up the position.
After all, the First Seat represented the entire cohort of the cohort, second only to the First Seat.
Things like power and class were always something that people would gladly endure.
"You didn't reject it?"
Maica asked.
However, the moment the words escaped Maica's mouth, he saw Standler's dispirited face.
"I really want to refuse."
"But … I dare not."
"When he looked at me, I felt like a frog about to be skinned. Not only was I helpless, but I was also terrified."
Standler said honestly.
The assistant of the First Seat could reject this position, but he would have to bear the consequences himself.
It was obvious that Standler didn't think he could bear the consequences.
Likewise, Maica was the same.
In fact, from a certain point of view, he had a deeper understanding of Kieran's terror. Now, whenever he closed his eyes, the shadow of the demon was roaring at him.
"Alright, I understand."
Maica nodded.
After saying that, Maica was about to leave. He needed a good rest, and it would be best if he could eat something. Everything else could wait until he was well rested.
But before Maica could leave, Standler smiled bitterly again.
"What now?"
"You don't think I'm waiting here to explain everything to you, do you?"
"What do you mean?"
A bad feeling rose in Maica's heart.
"Hon. 2567, who just became the First Seat, has handed over the registration of the freshmen, the allocation of rooms, the distribution of uniforms, and everything else to us.
Everyone has been waiting outside for a long time, but you haven't woken up yet, so I can't make the decision alone.
In simple words, you and I have to finish these things overnight. If we can't, we will be punished by Hon. 2567 because of our incompetence. "
Standler explained.
"How can they do this?
I'm going to the Student Council to protest! "
Maica, who wasn't completely clueless about Theorate, grumbled loudly. Then, he saw the helpless Standler again.
"What now?"
Maica's eyelids twitched. The bad feeling came again.
"Teacher Senile just announced that he has recommended Hon. 2567 to the Student Council, so if you protest at the Student Council, you will most likely be punished.
"Trust me, the Theorate Student Council will do it."
Standler told Maica another piece of news.
Maica's jaw dropped, and he couldn't utter a word.
When he heard that Standler had become the First Seat's assistant, Maica was surprised, but it was just a flash. Now, Maica was truly frightened.
The Student Council of Theorate!
No one knew better than Maica what that place represented.
In fact, when Maica first came to Theorate, he had made up his mind to join the Student Council in his fourth year.
Even if it was just becoming a normal member.
As for when he first entered the school?
He didn't want to die!
That place was …
Hell!
Maica shuddered when he thought of some rumors.
Then, he thought of the devil's figure again. Almost uncontrollably, Maica connected the dots.
Could it be …
Maica straightened his body and looked at Standler with a serious face as a thought bloomed in his mind.
"Our job is to register the freshmen, allocate their rooms, distribute their uniforms, and so on, right?
Let's get started!
I can't wait to get to work! "
Maica walked out of the room.
Standler wasn't surprised at all when he saw Maica's attitude turn into the complete opposite.
That was the Student Council of Theorate!
A person like Standler would never want to step foot in that place.
Not only was death common there, but it was also common there.
Living a life worse than death was common there!
Huu!
A deep breath later, Standler discarded the thoughts from his mind and chased after Maica.
He wasn't the one going there.
What was there to worry about?
As for whether 2567 would worry about it?
It wasn't something that Standler could care about.
However, in Standler's point of view, Maica must be worried, even if he didn't show it.
…
It tasted good.
The food from the freshmen dinner didn't have the special effect of increasing one's Origin Force, but in terms of taste, it was quite tasty.
Kieran leaned back in his chair, using his left hand to put a piece of cake decorated with strawberries into his mouth. In his right hand, there was a 'First Seat must know'.
It roughly listed the rights and duties of the First Seat.
Aside from the fact that he had to protect the whole year and some insignificant rules and regulations, the most attractive thing to him was the extra supply of Bento food every semester.
"'Bento' level?"
Kieran recalled the incomplete information that he gathered after entering the dungeon world. He hastened his supper, and when the last piece of cake disappeared, Kieran stood up and headed to the library.
Theorate's library was open throughout the day.
However, entering the library after dark would require a special pass.
Of course, as the First Seat, Kieran didn't need it.
A silver school badge with a plate engraved on it appeared in Kieran's hand.
[Name: Theorate School Badge (First Seat)]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attribute: Digestion]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: It's not just the proof of your First Seat, it's also an honor!]
…
[Digestion: Speed up digestion of food]
…
The badge was given to him by Senile after he became the First Seat.
It was a Magic rank item with Theorate's characteristics. Kieran didn't reject it. He would never reject any benefits that belonged to him, especially the invisible ones.
The most direct way was to carry the badge with him. He didn't need to wear it and he could be exempted from wearing the school uniform and entering the forbidden areas.
Just like now, when the guards saw the First Seat badge in Kieran's hand, they didn't just let him pass, they even bowed to show their respect.
Under the guards' gazes, Kieran swiftly vanished into the night.
Kieran didn't leave E Block.
Every block of Theorate had its own library.
As a matter of fact, not only did each block have a library, but it also had academic buildings, labs, cafeterias, and all the necessary school facilities. Some other facilities like shopping malls and pedestrian streets were also present. Every block was like a small city of its own.
However, all the places were closed at night.
Walking under the night sky, Kieran glanced over the places that were shrouded in darkness.
His Intuition told him that the places shrouded in darkness more or less had some unknown presence, but it wasn't the dangerous kind.
It was a defensive force field!
Plus the patrolling guards, it was obvious that Theorate at night wasn't as safe and peaceful as he thought it would be.
However, all of that had nothing to do with Kieran at the moment.
All he wanted was to reach the library as soon as possible and get the information he sought.
According to the map in his memory, all he had to do was turn the corner in front of him and he would reach his destination.
So, Kieran hastened his steps again.
However, when Kieran turned the corner, he frowned.
In front of him was a four-story building. Other than the main door on the first floor, every floor above had a row of 25 windows. The windows were brightly lit, and people were moving in and out of the windows.
Nothing seemed out of place.
At most, it was a little eye-catching in the dark E Block.
However, when Kieran looked up, he saw a pair of eyes!
A pair of squinted eyes!
Below the eyes was a tall nose, and below the nose was a mouth …
It was the library!
That's right, the library!
The brightly lit library with people moving in and out of it was the mouth of the giant, shadowy monster!
In simple words, entering the library was like entering the monster's mouth.
Kieran stopped with furrowed brows.
For Kieran, tasting food was a wonderful thing, but it didn't mean he was willing to serve himself as food to other living beings.
Dak, Dak, Dak.
Clear and undisguised footsteps rang out.
A figure walked over from behind.
When the figure turned the corner, he was startled by Kieran's sudden appearance, but he then heaved a breath of relief as if he thought of something.
"Surprised, right?"
The figure pointed at the library further away.
"Em."
Kieran nodded.
"Believe me, you are not the first to be surprised, and you won't be the last.
The first time I came here at night, I was also shocked by the 'librarian', I even almost fell to the ground.
But believe me, the librarian is much kinder than what you see. If you're lucky, she'll even explain the problems you encounter. "
The man smiled at Kieran, who nodded calmly.
"You said she's the librarian?"
Kieran asked.
"More precisely, she's the librarian of E Block. She's different from the librarians of the other blocks.
Of course, I'm not familiar with the other librarians.
Do you want to join me? "
The figure corrected Kieran's words and extended an invitation.
Kieran thought for a while and shook his head.
"No need."
Kieran was ready to leave, but the figure shrugged.
"What a pity."
The figure seemed like he wanted to go alone, but at the next moment, when Kieran walked past him, the figure raised his hand and wanted to grab Kieran's shoulder.
However, when the figure raised his hand, he realized Kieran's hand had somehow grabbed his collar.
The figure's face changed.
"I think …"
The figure instinctively wanted to explain, but the moment the words escaped his mouth, his body flew out like a flying javelin and plunged into the library.
Kacha!
The door of the library was shattered right away.
What followed was the outer wall of the library, the windows, and the lights.
It was like a broken mirror, revealing the fine, sharp teeth hidden behind the mirror.
Gak Tsk!
A soft crunching noise later, the person who was thrown in was crushed to pieces.
After waiting for half the night, the monster finally didn't return empty-handed. It grunted in satisfaction and wanted to leave.
Although it saw Kieran, it knew no one would care if it occasionally ate a snack that 'bumped' into its mouth, but if it really took the initiative to eat it, it would be in big trouble.
However, just as it turned around, it suddenly heard the sound of saliva being swallowed.
The gulp sounded like some terrifying existence in its memory.
However, it quickly shook its giant head, trying to throw the ridiculous thought out of its mind.
