The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy

“It’s time for us to go now.”

“Get lost.”

“...Must you be so cold?”

“Hmph, the sight of your face is starting to grate on me.”

Fron grumbled as she gave me the boot.

I made a gloomy expression at this.

Well, it was time for me to go now.

I had to tell Anna what had happened in the human world.

Kyle and Rene had already finished their preparations to leave.

“...I haven’t heard it yet.”

We froze at Rene’s words, just as I was about to take a step.

What Fron said yesterday.

I had hurriedly tried to cover it up when she called Rene ‘sister’, but Rene kept asking why she would say such a thing.

I swallowed nervously and opened my mouth.

“It’s nothing you need to worry about, Lady Rene. Ms. Fron was mistaken.”

Right?

I sent a silent pressure towards Fron.

Fron looked at me for a moment and let out a deep sigh.

“I was just messing around.”

“Suspicious.”

“Don't talk back to me, even if I was joking.”

How impudent.

*Swoosh-*

Fron raised her hand above Rene’s head.

Rene flinched and stepped back.

Seeing that, I felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

It seemed that Fron and Rene had become quite close.

Considering their past relationship, I would have never thought this possible.

And yet, here they were.

Life is truly full of surprises.

Even though they were at each other's throats until yesterday, they could still become friends today.

I opened my mouth to address Fron.

“We’ll be on our way now.”

We had spent too much time here.

It was time to leave.

“Why the long face?”

“I’m not making any face?”

“Heh, you seem a little sad that we're leaving.”

“Your impudence knows no bounds.”

“Just kidding, just kidding.”

She’s so scary I can’t even joke around.

Fron chuckled at my reaction.

“Take care. We’ll see each other again in Sytan soon anyway.”

“Indeed we will.”

We had to return to Sytan in a few days.

After returning to the Bares family and taking care of the aftermath of the war, my free time would be over before I knew it.

I can’t believe I don't even have free time after all this.

As I was lamenting my lack of free time…

“By the way, did you do your homework?”

“Pardon?”

“You had homework for the break, didn’t you?”

“...?”

“...?”

Rene and I both tilted our heads in unison.

Homework?

Hooomework?

Out of the blue?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This is so sudden!

Wait, was there even homework?

This was the first time I’d heard of it.

Fron clicked his tongue at us.

“Tsk, tsk, looks like you’ve completely forgotten and haven’t done a thing.”

“...Huh.”

I made a dumbfounded expression.

Was there really homework?

No way.

Was Sytan such a cruel place that even a struggling student like me had homework?

Judging by Fron's expression, she didn't seem to be lying.

She looked at us with a genuinely disappointed expression.

“I, uh, didn’t do my homework.”

“...Neither have I.”

Oh dear.

We’re doomed…

I asked Fron, who was giving us a disappointed look, what the homework was.

Fron sighed and opened her mouth.

“Didn't the Instructor tell us to write a diary about what we did during the break?”

“Ah.”

Only then did I realize what the homework was.

On the last day of the semester, Idea gave the students the task of writing a diary as their vacation assignment.

I had been so busy that I had completely forgotten about it.

I let out a sigh and thought about how I could quickly finish the assignment.

‘...I’m not even sure they’d believe it.’

Even if I wrote down everything that happened during the break, there was no guarantee that the Sytan administration would believe it.

What we went through was simply too absurd.

The sheer scale of the events was difficult to comprehend, let alone believe.

If I were in Sytan's shoes, I wouldn’t believe it either.

How could anyone believe it?

The head of the Bares family was killed by the Sword Saint, I slaughtered Swordmasters, and I even met the God of Gluttony…

‘It’s been quite an eventful break.’

I sighed as I reminisced about those days.

It was a series of situations where I could have died several times over.

The problem was that such events were bound to continue in the future.

What could I do?

It was my karma.

All I could do was accept it.

My duty and the things I had to do in the future…

For now, I had to figure out how to finish my homework.

Well, it wasn’t like I hadn’t done this before back in my old world.

Did they really think there were kids out there who honestly finished their homework on time?

That would be a grave misconception.

A true child would never finish their homework during the break.

It was common knowledge that most students crammed their homework the day before school started.

I was no different.

One day.

I set a goal to finish all my homework in one day.

“...You look like you’re thinking something incredibly foolish.”

“I think it’s strange that you finished your homework early, Ms. Fron.”

Exactly.

It wasn’t my fault.

The fault lay solely with Fron, who wasn’t acting like a proper student by finishing her homework early.
