The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life The Unexpected
The forest simulation was quiet for a moment, but the tension in the air was palpable. Dante and his team stood in a clearing, surrounded by the towering trees and the distant roars of monsters. Lucian and his group circled closer, their elemental powers flaring up, each eager to show Dante that they weren’t to be trifled with.“Time to teach you a lesson,” Lucian sneered, the flames on his fingertips growing larger, casting an eerie glow around him. His friends—an earth user, a water manipulator, and a lightning caster—stood at his side, equally confident in their abilities.Finn and the other two teammates tensed up, but Dante remained calm, his expression unchanged.“Let’s see how well you handle this,” Lucian said, launching a barrage of fireballs toward Dante.The fire came fast, but Dante moved faster. With effortless precision, he sidestepped the flames, feeling the heat graze past him but not even bothering to draw his sword yet.“I told you we shouldn’t have messed with him,
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life He Is Not Like Others
Inside the control room of the academy, the teachers and instructors were gathered, monitoring the progress of the midterm test. Dozens of screens displayed various teams of students, battling monsters or navigating through the simulated reality.Everything was proceeding as planned—until the alarm blared.“What’s going on?” one of the instructors shouted as the room filled with red warning lights. He rushed to the control panel, his eyes scanning the data flashing across the screen.“It’s the simulation,” another instructor said, her voice tight with concern. “There’s been a malfunction.”Instructor Bane’s brow furrowed as he stepped forward. “A malfunction? What kind?”The instructor’s fingers flew over the keyboard, pulling up the information. “The system’s gone rogue. It’s generating monsters beyond the C-rank limit. There’s… an A-rank monster inside the test.”The room fell silent for a moment, the weight of the statement sinking in.“That’s impossible!” one teacher exclaimed. “T
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Elite Group
The students inside the simulation had been battling monsters for what felt like hours. Exhaustion was starting to set in for some, and others were barely holding on. Amidst the chaos, a sharp, clear message cut through the noise.“This is Miss Sapphire,” her voice rang through the simulated forest, audible to every student. “All students ranked A and above, unite and focus on dealing with the monsters. Those ranked below, take cover and hide. Survive for the next four hours, and the test will automatically come to an end.”The students exchanged glances, and for a moment, the fear subsided as they found direction. Groups immediately began to form, with the lower-ranked students retreating into hiding spots scattered throughout the dense forest.In contrast, the elite students—the A-ranks and above—moved swiftly to gather, forming a powerful alliance. Among them was **Elijah**, a rare A-rank elemental awakener with control over two elements: **lightning and water**. His tall figure an
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life The tide had turn
Dante stepped forward, his eyes steady as he took in the scene before him. The horde of monsters surrounded the group of elite students, their growls and screeches echoing through the forest. He could see the exhaustion etched on their faces, each one struggling to hold back the relentless onslaught.Elijah’s eyes narrowed as he watched Dante approach. A mix of irritation and doubt flashed across his face. “What does he think he’s doing?” Elijah muttered to himself, his voice tinged with disdain. Dante’s calm, almost casual approach seemed reckless—like he didn’t fully understand the gravity of the situation.*He’s going to bite off more than he can chew,* Elijah thought. Despite being aware that Dante was an S-rank, Elijah—like most others—had always believed that elemental magic wielded by an A-rank like himself was far superior to the skill of a mere S-rank swordsman.From the moment Dante had been admitted to the academy, Elijah hadn’t given him a second thought, dismissing him as
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life The Legend Of The Swordsman
The battlefield was quiet now, the last of the monsters lying defeated at Dante’s feet. The elite students, many of whom had been struggling to stay alive just moments before, stared at him with a mixture of awe and disbelief.Elijah’s jaw tightened as he forced himself to stand tall, trying to mask the sting of his pride. He could feel the weight of Aria’s gaze, and his heart sank as he realized she hadn’t taken her eyes off Dante since he had stepped forward.Dante sheathed his sword, barely acknowledging the onlookers as he turned to leave. To him, this was just another fight—a simple task that hadn’t required his full strength.Elijah, unable to contain his frustration, stepped forward. “You think you’re something special, don’t you?” His voice was laced with bitterness.Dante turned, his gaze calm and unbothered. “I just did what needed to be done.”Elijah’s hands clenched, electricity sparking at his fingertips. “You may be strong, but you’re still a swordsman. Without magic, yo
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Students Adoration
The simulated forest dissolved into particles of light, and in the blink of an eye, the students felt themselves pulled back to reality. The gentle hum of the academy’s simulation pods faded, and they blinked as they adjusted to the bright lights of the control room. One by one, the students sat up, looking around, feeling both the physical and mental exhaustion of the intense test they had just survived.As the doors to the simulation pods opened, Dante emerged, calm and composed as if he’d just taken a simple stroll rather than battled through hordes of monsters. He glanced around the room, noting the looks of surprise, admiration, and—most noticeably—respect that lingered on the faces of his classmates.The usual whispers and banter among the students were absent. Instead, they regarded Dante in awe. Those who had witnessed his strength firsthand during the test were particularly silent, their expressions a mix of disbelief and newfound admiration.Elijah, who had previously dismis
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life The Unexpected Announcement
Two weeks had passed since the test, and life at the academy had returned to its usual rhythm. Classes resumed, training sessions filled the afternoons, and students once again focused on honing their skills. But something had changed: Dante’s presence was now a quiet force felt by everyone around him.Wherever he went, students turned to watch, whispering about his strength and the feats he had achieved during the test. Even upperclassmen, those who had once dismissed him as just another S-rank swordsman, now regarded him with a mixture of respect and curiosity.Dante, however, remained focused on his goals, unmoved by the newfound attention. His days fell into a steady rhythm of training, studying, and preparing himself for whatever challenges lay ahead. He kept to himself, finding peace in the routine, while Finn remained his only close companion, constantly chattering and bringing his usual humor into their friendship.During one of their training sessions, Finn shot him a grin. “
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Lion's Academy Taking the Limelight
The following morning, students gathered eagerly in the academy’s courtyard, their faces filled with anticipation. This mission had sparked excitement throughout the school, and everyone waited anxiously to hear who would be selected to assist the Hunter Association.Miss Sapphire stood at the front, a list in hand. Her gaze swept over the crowd before she began.“The following students have been chosen to represent our academy and assist with the C-rank gate,” she announced. Her voice was calm but carried a note of seriousness that underscored the importance of the task.She began calling names, each one met with a ripple of murmurs and excited smiles.“Elijah Noland,” she read, her eyes briefly meeting his as he stepped forward confidently, his expression smug.“Aria Windstrider,” she continued, and Aria walked forward with her usual cool composure, her gaze focused and unwavering.Several other students’ names followed, each stepping forward to join the group, their expressions a m

Going Back Home
Just as Lucian had said, Dante found himself escorting the headmaster back to his small village.Vida and Aria had returned to Aqua Veil Academy with Seraphina, though not before happily exchanging contact information with Dante."It's hard to believe that such a small village has produced such prodigies," Lucian mused, referring to both Dante and Vida.Dante, however, had something else on his mind. "Headmaster, what exactly do you want to ask my mother?" It was a question that had been nagging at him for a long time."Nothing that should concern you too much," Lucian replied with a faint smile.Dante's gaze darkened slightly. "I respect you, sir, but believe me when I say I will throw that respect away if you do anything to harm my mother. I know you wouldn't stoop so low, but I feel the need to make it clear."Lucian met Dante’s gaze, and for a few moments, they simply stared at each other. As the headmaster held Dante’s eyes, he felt something ancient stir within the boy—a presenc
Lucian's Demand
The grand hall was adorned with banners and shimmering chandeliers, casting a golden glow over the gathered students, professors, and distinguished guests. The air buzzed with excitement as the reward ceremony was about to begin, marking the end of the competition. Students stood in neat rows, dressed in their academy uniforms, their eyes fixed on the stage where the headmasters of each academy stood.Seraphina stepped forward, her sharp gaze sweeping over the gathered students. She had been selected to present the awards."Today, we recognize the achievements of the students," she announced. "Those who have demonstrated outstanding skill, courage, and resilience."Murmurs filled the hall as the first name was called."Dante."A hushed silence fell over the crowd before applause erupted. Dante, his midnight-black hair catching the light, strode forward with his usual composed expression. Though he was never expected to be the winner of this competition, his prowess was undeniable. He
Dante's Goal
When Dante woke up, he saw a man sitting beside him. He had never seen the man before, but he could sense an incredible power emanating from him. Never had he felt so much power concentrated in a single individual, and the fact that the man could suppress such tremendous mana was remarkable."You're awake," the man said."Yes. Sorry, but who are you?" Dante asked."I am Lucian, your headmaster," the man introduced himself.Dante widened his eyes. Of course, he had heard about their headmaster—Lucian the Untouchable, the man considered humanity’s strongest."Forgive my ignorance.""You don't need to apologize," Lucian chuckled. "I won’t take much of your time. I just have a question about the medication you’ve been taking."While Dante was unconscious, Lucian had a doctor examine him and discovered that Dante had been using some kind of suppressant."I was very weak as a child, so my mother, a B-rank healer, developed a drug to help me recover. Even after awakening, I still need the dr
Leon's Determination
Lucian instantly left his seat and appeared in front of Leon, intercepting Dante’s attack with effortless precision. With nothing more than a raised finger, he halted the strike, shattering Dante’s sword upon impact. The sheer force of the clash sent a shockwave rippling through the arena, obliterating the forcefield that had contained the battle.Leon’s legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground, landing on his backside. His breath came in short gasps, his body trembling as realization sank in. He had been mere moments from death. If Lucian hadn’t stepped in, his fate would have been sealed.Lucian turned to him, his golden eyes impassive. “Are you clear on who the winner is?”Leon swallowed hard and nodded. He didn’t need a soothsayer to confirm what was painfully obvious—Dante had utterly defeated him.The crowd erupted in a mix of gasps and excited murmurs.“Can you believe that? Such a powerful attack was stopped by a single finger!” Zane, one of the commentators, exclaimed i
To Sever A Destiny
Dante already knew something was wrong and that he was at a disadvantage, but he had managed to calm his nerves. He had realized that the more disadvantaged he was, the more he could tap into his true potential. Right now, he didn’t have the energy to deliver Void Star; even Void Rend and Void Crescent would be difficult to execute. His bones were broken, and his body was filled with injuries, but his mind had never been clearer.“You don’t seem worried?” Celeste asked Aria.Since everyone was watching, Vida and Aria didn’t sit in the VIP section with the headmasters; instead, they sat among the other students.“Not at all.” Even with Dante’s defeat seemingly inevitable, Aria and Vida didn’t appear concerned.“Are you that confident in him?” William Archibald asked. He still didn’t like Dante, but he was now aware that he wouldn’t last against him in battle.“You don’t know Dante,” Vida stated, drawing everyone’s attention. She was so beautiful and graceful that her presence demanded
A Master Of One
Just before the competition started, Mr. Tilo met with the officials and struck a deal. He handed them a special device identical to the ones the students had been using to ensure their safety in the competition. However, unlike the normal safety devices, this one was specially designed to drain Dante’s mana and weaken him.Never one to take chances, Mr. Tilo had ordered his scientists to create this device specifically for Dante. Since it was indistinguishable from the regular ones and designed to deplete mana so subtly that even the user wouldn’t notice, it was impossible for Dante to realize what was happening.“Something is amiss,” Seraphina muttered, her sharp gaze locked on Dante as she noticed him growing weaker.“His mana seems to be depleting faster than normal,” Lucian observed with a frown.“It must be Mr. Tilo’s doing,” Seraphina growled, her eyes narrowing into a deadly glare directed at the oblivious man. Mr. Tilo, unaware of the murderous looks being sent his way, simpl
The Power Granted By The Four Element
The crowd erupted with excitement as the final round of the competition commenced. Only three contestants remained—Dante, Leon, and Celeste. The entire arena buzzed with anticipation, eager to witness who would emerge as the ultimate champion.“I know you all are as excited as I am!” Zane’s voice boomed across the arena. “Never before have we had such a final, and I doubt we’ll ever see another like it!”The audience roared in agreement.“Have you placed your bets?”“Yes! I bet on Leon!”“Me too.”The spectators spoke favorably about Leon, and it was expected. He had slain an S-rank monster alone—an almost impossible feat for a teenager, even if the creature had been weakened. So despite how unbelievable Dante’s victories had been, Leon’s accomplishment was considered even more impressive.Zane’s voice cut through the chatter. “The matchups have been decided. The first duel will be between Dante and Celeste. Whoever wins will face Leon!”Just as the anticipation reached its peak, Cele
Something Primal
Dante was about to collapse when Aria arrived and caught him just in time, steadying his weakened body against hers.“Good thing no one else is here to see the mighty Dante fall,” Aria joked, her voice light, though her eyes held a trace of concern.“Good, right?” Dante chuckled weakly as she helped him onto the bed. His limbs felt like lead, his muscles burning from the relentless battles he had endured. Still, he maintained his composure, even as he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small vial, and downed his medication in one swift gulp.Aria watched him closely. “You didn’t take it earlier, did you?”“Of course not,” he admitted. “I wasn’t about to show any sign of weakness in front of the audience or my enemies.”Aria sighed but let it slide. She knew Dante well enough to understand his pride.“Sorry I couldn’t end the competition like you wanted,” he added after a moment.“Like I wanted?” Aria’s eyes snapped open in surprise. “What I wanted was for you to win, not to end thin
Clash Of Titians
"Send them all out!" Lucian yelled, drawing the organizers' attention to Dante's screen.Due to the arrival of the S-rank monster, everyone's focus had been on its battle with Leon. With only a few people paying attention to Dante, they had missed his brutal fight against nine S-rankers. Pushed beyond his limits, Dante was forced to evolve once again to eliminate the remaining opponents.Lucian, who had never taken his eyes off Dante, felt the shift in power the moment Dante leapt into the sky and roared before descending with the force of a falling star."Void Star!" Dante shouted, his sword brimming with converging void energy.Lucian could feel it—this power had the ability to erase all life. If Dante were to use such a technique at his peak, Lucian dreaded to imagine the destruction it could cause."Send them all out!" he yelled again.Just before Dante's sword could strike the ground, the organizers heeded Lucian’s warning and forcibly ejected the other competitors from the simul
