Extra Demon: Sacred Academy of Light

"Well, that's a lot of eyes on us," I thought to myself as I curiously stared at the small roasted chicken on my plate... Across the table, at the center, was a much larger one. Even from afar, you could tell its texture was crispy and savory. All of this made it feel like a true feast, especially considering it was lunch for eight people.

Evelyn was currently in heaven, her cheeks puffed out as she kept eating. She constantly added more chicken to her plate without stopping. No one said anything; after all, I don't think we're going to finish all this food. Of course, since this was a shared meal, we all pitched in some money—except for Leslie and Evelyn. The food was delicious, of course, but...

"This is quite uncomfortable," Daniela muttered, twisting her lips as she tried her best to stay calm and keep a clear head.

"Just ignore them; they'll get tired of it," Beatrice completely dismissed the many stares we were receiving in the dining hall... In fact, it all started as soon as we arrived...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The first time we entered the dining hall, which is huge for a simple reason: all the academy's students eat here. It has three floors, one for each year—first, second, and third. Right now, we were on the first floor, so all the first-year students were here. Mocking stares and whispers were in abundance, even from those who were second-years before.

It's curious, now that they're at the bottom of the barrel, why don't they worry about themselves? Well, the top class has priority and great renown, and there has never been an instance where students were demoted from it.

I didn't care at all about the mocking looks from the other students, but rumors had already spread across the academy. It's only been a day, and everyone already knows. Soon, one of the upperclassmen will probably come to mock us.

For now, I wasn't worried. I just enjoyed my food, like Evelyn, who hadn't stopped eating.

"It's rude to stare at people while they eat," Adrián adjusted his glasses and looked around seriously. "I feel a bit nervous," Elías scratched his head.

After that, we stayed in silence. The whispers continued, but there was nothing we could do to stop them. They didn't approach to cause trouble either.

"Excuse me, where can I find books related to demons?" I politely asked the older woman in front of me. She was the librarian, the usual type: white-haired, round glasses, wrinkled face, oversized clothes, and reading a book. She set aside the cup in her hands and stared at me intently.

"In section C7, in the back to the right," she replied in a courteous voice. "Good, thanks," I said, thanking her as I left the librarian. Luckily, I got some time alone. Evelyn and Leslie were a bit reluctant at first, but with a promise to pay for their food "as always," they gave me some space. Still, I have a feeling I'm being watched...

"…"

After a few moments, I reached the direction the librarian had indicated. I also noticed a sign right at the entrance that said "Demonic World." In the academy's library, all the information on demon-related topics—characteristics, aspects, and everything else known about them—is stored. Of course, the most important information about figures like the Seven Sins is completely sealed.

Upon entering, I saw a total of 20 shelves classified by different categories, such as objects, magic, clothing, and the like. It was like having the entire culture of a population in one place. Walking past the different sections, I stopped at the one labeled...

[Flora]

[Types of Flowers]

[There are a total of 10,000 different types of flowers]

[Write the name of the flower you are looking for]

"Thank heavens..." I muttered, looking at the small screen just below a glass panel, which literally looked like a modern-day phone.

"Black Blood Flower," I typed in the name of the flower I was searching for, the one I needed to evolve and extend my life... Pressing the search button below.

After a few seconds, a small chime came from beneath the panel. Looking down, I saw a small open space where there was a book with a black cover. "Pretty efficient!" I smiled as I grabbed the book and sat in one of the chairs, quietly opening it. Time to find this cursed flower… Even though I had typed the flower's name, I still had to search through this pile of pages.

Not everything can be so convenient...

After almost an hour of searching, I finally found it...

[Black Blood Flower]

[A flower originating from the demonic world, this flower is characterized by having matte black petals, even darker than black itself. These types of flowers are usually found in dark areas. Its benefits are unknown, but it is extremely poisonous! It is said that this flower can cause your insides to rot...]

"...Magnificent, I expected no less..."

[This flower can be found as decoration in the grand castles of vampires. It's a good flower for swallowing light…]

Just below all this, there was a drawing of the flower. "Well, at least I've got information on one of them… Now, the next step is…" Standing up, I walked back to the panel to search for the next one.

"Corrupt Water," I typed in the words.

[Corrupt Water]

After a few moments, just like before, a book with a white cover appeared in the open space. Picking up the book, I sat down again... After a few minutes, I managed to find it. Unlike the many different types of flowers, there are only a few types of water...

[Waters found in the demonic world, these waters are snow-white in color. Within their depths, human faces can be seen, their souls having been captured by the waters. These waters are extremely dangerous for humans...]
