Chapter 39.1: Part 1

Bonus chapter thanks to @Talosfanboy for subscription to 'Eye of Arrogance' tier on Ko-fi.

Countless gazes fell upon me.

I knew that I needed to stand out in Sytan, but I never dreamed that I would suddenly receive so much attention.

How did things turn out this way?

I just thought that Fron would become the class president.

But out of nowhere, I became the class president.

It would be impossible to give up the position of class president...

Because Idea was looking at me with a bright smile, as if she would refuse any kind of objection.

"Pixie Adel!"

"......Yes."

I answered Idea, who called my fake last name, in a trembling voice, and she clenched her fist.

"Please lead the class well for once, and I have another class to teach, so I'll just pass on the announcements and go!"

Announcements out of nowhere?

I had some questions about being suddenly appointed as the class president, but I listened to Idea's words for a moment.

"As you all know, to prepare for the midterm exams at the end of the semester, we will be conducting classes mainly through practical training. The practical training will be done in groups of three, so please form your teams by today!"

Midterm exam and practice.

Idea stated that both of them would be conducted in teams.

Speaking of practice...

My eyes narrowed.

It was because I had a rough idea of what the practice would be.

Killing humans.

The content of the next practice would be that.

However, I realized that there was a problem with Idea's words, and I felt a strange feeling.

'It wasn't difficult to guess that we would be killing humans in the practice.'

The problem was the location.

'Where' can we find humans to kill?

It would take quite a while before the students of Sytan would start to terrorize the human world in earnest.

Did the schedule get moved up?

But I shook my head.

I had never done anything that could affect the development of Sytan.

It was too much to blame it on the butterfly effect.

'The content of the practice might not be killing humans.'

Perhaps, like the first class, we would be fighting Idea's skeleton soldiers.

If it was that level of difficulty, it didn't seem necessary to put in the effort to form a team.

Still, Idea said that the teams we formed this time would be maintained for the midterm exam, so I couldn't completely ignore it.

It was revealed that the midterm exam would also be conducted in the form of a practical exercise.

Perhaps the teams formed this time could last for the entire semester, or even the entire year.

In the end, I changed my mind.

I need to choose my team carefully.

"From now on, the class president will greet the instructors whenever they enter the classroom and submit a list of team members by the end of today."

Idea stared at me with silent pressure, demanding an answer.

Only then did I realize that I had become the class president of Class A.

"......I understand."

"Yes, then I'll see you at the end of class!"

I sighed as I watched Idea leave the classroom with a sinister smile on her face.

For now, the fact that I had become the class president would not have much impact on my daily life.

The thing I should be concerned about right now is forming a team.

When I turned around, I saw the students gathered in groups of three or five, chatting among themselves.

- Let's team up.

- Yeah, we need one more person.

- Is there anyone who's strong and has a good personality?

It seemed that they were already forming teams.

Well, since Idea had told us to form teams by the end of today, the more proactive students would not hesitate to do so.

Since they did not know each other's abilities well yet, it seemed that the students were sticking with those they were familiar with.

......But I don't have any students that I'm familiar with.

As I was feeling depressed, the students in front of me began to gather.

- Fron, let's be in the same group.

- Team up with me, Fron.

- Lady Fron, please team up with me.......

Fron seemed to be quite popular.

However, not a single student approached me or Samuel.

To be precise, the students did not approach us easily.

But Fron possessed a beautiful and cute appearance.

Her personality was not bad either. She was easygoing and did not arouse any resentment from the students.

Also, her somewhat arrogant attitude during the first class seemed to have narrowed the distance between her and the ordinary students.

However, in my case...

'It seems like the students are even more hesitant to approach me than before.'

There were two reasons for this.

First, the cruel and formidable appearance I had shown had intimidated the students.

With the position of class president that Idea had given me added to that, they would not easily find the courage to approach me.

Second, it was because I was a half-demon.

Among them, there were even students who glared at me with contempt.

Perhaps it's because their family had suffered greatly at the hands of the Arsene family, so they has strong negative feelings toward half-demon.

'Or maybe they simply detest half-demons.'

One thing's for sure, it'll be difficult to get them completely on my side.

It won't be easy to even become friends with them.

I was scratching the back of my head in frustration when...

"E-Excuse me, would you like to team up with me?"

"!"

My heart skipped a beat as I looked up.

But soon, I couldn't help but narrow my eyes in annoyance.

The student wasn't talking to me, but to Samuel.

"......I don't mind. As long as you don't hold me back."

"Thank you, Samuel! This is my friend who I agreed to form a team with......"

The student introduced his friend after Samuel accepted his offer.

I felt genuinely bewildered as I watched Samuel nod curtly as if he were annoyed.

I never dreamed that I'd be the one to form a team later than that arrogant jerk.

I rubbed my face self-consciously, lost in self-pity.

'Is it because of my appearance?'

My face could be mistaken for handsome at first glance, but my narrow, slitted eyes gave off a sinister vibe.

In retrospect, I hadn't accurately grasped the image the students had of me, so I didn't even know what the problem was.

Let's put that aside for now and form a team first.

"......."

I looked around, wondering if there were any students I could recruit for my team.

Most of the students who hadn't formed a team yet were half-demons.

The half-demons were outcasts in the class.

More accurately, perhaps the term 'bullied' would be more appropriate.
