[What !!!!!! Drops of blood on parchment? If I do that, my secret will be exposed.]

“You just need to go where no one is.” Ammon made a suggestion.

[But… Felix said I would be the first to go.]

"The first to perform the ritual." Lucius' scream made Damien panic even more. “Amelia Amon.”

[I'm not the first.] Instantly Damien calmed down.

But immediately he panicked because of Felix. "Wait a minute!!"

"What is it?" Lucius was still patiently facing Felix's screams.

“I don't agree that you chose that girl to be first just because she's a princess. The one who deserves to perform the Ritual first is my Lord.”

[What is this demon talking about?!!!!!] Panic swept over Damien again. He quickly stopped what Felix was doing. "It's okay, Felix. I suddenly have the urge to go to the toilet anyway.”

"My lord, even if you want to go to the toilet, my lord must still be first in order to perform the ritual."

[Why is this demon so insistent?]

"Shut up!" Lucius was getting annoyed, then he gave an explanation. “I chose Amelia not because she is a Princess. But due to Damien's unofficial rankings dropping after the mess you guys caused yesterday."

An unofficial ranking, it is a temporary ranking given by the Academy to new students, starting from the most outstanding to the worst. The unofficial ranking actually only works for queue numbers.

"It was me who challenged, why did my master get hit by it?"

“Because he's also fighting, Fool. The academy's decision is final, if you still don't accept it, you will probably be lowered again."

“Tch!” In the end Felix could only silently accept.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's only a temporary ranking after all.”

“…Yes, milord.”

"Damien," Lucius called out to him. "If you want the toilet then hurry up, you're in third place."

"Yes, Sir."

Damien wanted to hurry out of the Hall, but suddenly Felix followed him. " I will accompany you, my lord."

"No need." It would be very troublesome if Felix accompanied him. “You just stay here, and keep an eye on those who performed the ritual before me. There is a possibility of them becoming my rivals in the future.”

“Truth to your words My Lord, those two people are actually also aiming for the Throne. So I will carry out master's wish to obtain information from them.”

"Help please…"

Damien was finally able to go on his own. But when he opened the door, his attention was stolen by the girl who performed the ritual first. Because the girl's bluish-black hair reminded her of his Master's hair.

"If I'm not mistaken, Amon is her family name."

While Damien was out, Felix who was in the Hall was watching the stage closely.

The stage had an enormous magic circle drawn on it. And above it, in the center of the magic circle, was a purple flame floating. In order to summon a Familiar, one needed to burn the parchment that had been dripped with blood in the purple flame.

On the stage, Amelia Amon was already standing.

When Amelia's parchment burned, thick smoke appeared around the circle. When the smoke cleared, a summoned Demonic Beast appeared. It was a pitch black crow, but had glowing blue eyes.

“Darkness Crow.” Lucius mentioned the type of Demonic Beast that Amelia summoned. “You deserve to be the Demon King's daughter.”

Hearing that, the crowd became lively.

“Darkness Crow?! Isn't that a legendary beast?”

“According to history, all the demons who managed to summon Darkness Crow always succeeded in reaching the Throne.”

“As expected of the Great Demon King's daughter.”

Felix who saw that couldn't help but be amazed.

[Darkness Crown, this beast is truly extraordinary. because it can lend extraordinary power to its master. But, I'm sure my Lord will summon a Demonic Beast that's even more powerful than that.] Felix thought.

“Next Elion Eligos.” Lucius called out to the students who were about to come forward. “Please summon your Familiars.”

"Finally the time has come to show off my prowess." A male student said proudly.

Elion is taller than Felix, he is three meters tall. His body is very large and muscular, looks domineering. He had thick golden hair that was slicked back, and a face that expressed self-confidence.

Burning the parchments in the fire, Elion summoned her Familiars.

A large white horse with golden hair and eyes was summoned. Even though this Demonic Beast looked beautiful and graceful, it had fangs in its mouth that made it look as domineering as its owner.

"Augeas Horse." Lucius said. “That is very befitting of you from a family of knights.”

“Hahahaha… This Demonic Beast will be my mount when I become the Demon King.”

“Hurry down when you're done, fool!” Lucius was impatient.

“That's a beautiful mount Elion.”

"Isn't the Augeas Horse the fastest beast?"

“The person riding the beast would definitely look cool.”

[Augeas Horse, this is a Demonic Beast that doesn't have a strong attack. But its main ability is to be able to step on all terrain, besides that this beast is the fastest. It is a very good beast for Elion who is a person from a family of knights.] Felix comments.

“Next Damien.”

[It's finally my lord's turn. Surely he will judge everyone with the Familiars he summons.]

Damien just dripped his blood on the parchment. But he had such curiosity that he couldn't help but ask Amon.

“Master, is that actually a familiar?”

“Familiars are basically Demonic Beasts, but Demonic Beasts that are willing to serve the Demons they choose.”

“Are the summoned Familiars always that frequent? Can't you find it yourself in the wilderness?”

“In the past to get a Familiar a demon needed to search for it in the wilderness, but it took a long time, and it was also very troublesome. But now, with the ritual, demons don't need to go into the wilderness to look for familiars. With just a ritual, they can get a familiar instantly, but instead a Demonic Beast that will become their familiar will appear randomly.”

“Ooh…”

After getting the answer, Damien who was right in front of the hall gate opened it.

“Damien!” Lucius shouted his name again. "Is he still in the toilet?"

"I'm here." Damien said as he raised his hand.

"Hurry up here, fool."

"Well." Damien ran over to Lucius and asked him. “Teacher, why not do more than one ritual at a time? Isn't that more efficient?”

"Because it's dangerous."

"Even though there are dozens of teachers watching over here?"

Damien had already noticed, that every corner of the room had a teacher on guard. Though he couldn't tell if the teacher was just watching or keeping watch.

"Yes. Sometimes the Demonic Beasts that were summoned through rituals were not always willing to submit, or even these Demonic Beasts that refused to submit were extremely strong. If we perform ten rituals at the same time, and all of the summoned Demonic Beasts are powerful and don't want to submit, then we will be the ones having a hard time handling it.”

"Has something like that ever happened?"
