Chapter 137.2: Part 2

As the conference room came into view, an intrigued expression appeared on my face.

I had expected the senior students to be similar to, or perhaps slightly weaker than, the Children of the Seven Deadly Sins.

However, upon actually facing them, the aura they possessed was extraordinary.

Of course, this didn't mean that the senior students were stronger than Baltan or me.

They were probably around the level of having mastered Sword Lacquer.

Each of them must have learned some secret techniques, coming from families known as prestigious names in the Demon Realm.

Nevertheless,

"What do you think?"

"Well..."

"Haha, as if you haven't already figured them out."

Baltan and I were relaxed.

Baltan, too, realized that these senior students were no match for us.

But the senior students didn't seem to be aware of my strength.

"Huh, a half-demon as the freshman representative?"

And with those words as a start,

"The freshmen must be worthless."

"I heard the Children of the Seven Deadly Sins enrolled in droves. Looks like their families sent all the rejects."

Perhaps they thought their families were being disregarded.

Guwar, who was sitting opposite the senior students, rose from his seat.

Looking closely, I saw that Rene and Aeron were also seated there.

As I expected, Diana must have overused her powers and couldn't participate as a representative, so Rene took her place.

However,

"....."

Rene simply stared at me silently, without a word.

As the atmosphere grew awkward, I nodded my head in greeting to Rene.

However, she just looked away without responding.

Just then,

"How dare you...!"

Guwar was about to unleash his mana and lash out at the senior students.

But there was no benefit in clashing with the seniors right now.

After all, we needed to make them our allies.

However, that didn't mean we could just ignore their mockery.

This was simply a matter of proving how strong I was.

Only then would they consider me a reliable ally.

'...Besides, it's also my fault that we're being treated this way.'

It was because I was a half-demon.

The freshmen didn't treat us this way because they knew my strength, but it was different for the senior students.

Therefore.

I needed to prove myself.

However, I shouldn't engage in a direct confrontation like I did with Guwar.

Guys like him needed to be subdued with force.

Just like how Guwar readily yielded to Baltan.

'But the senior students would be different.'

I had no idea what their personalities were like, or what kind of power they possessed.

Therefore, it would be enough to just show them that I was 'a cut above'.

Shh—.

I put my finger to my lips, signaling Guwar with Sword Lacquer. I was telling him to be quiet, that I would handle it.

".....?"

The moment Gwar, who was about to yell at the senior students, tilted his head in question,

Whooosh—.

A sharp killing intent emanating from me swept through the conference room.

"....!"

Thump—.

As if a snake had coiled around their necks, a chilling killing intent washed over the senior students, forcing them to rise from their seats.

Some even reached for the hilts of their swords.

Everyone in the room reacted to my killing intent.

Their gazes were now solely focused on me.

Step, step—.

Without any confrontation with the senior students, I walked forward.

My steps led me to the empty seat beside Guwar.

Screech—.

Pulling out the chair, I smiled at Guwar and asked,

"May I sit next to you?"

Guwar responded with a shaky voice,

"S-Sure, go ahead."
