My Demon Professors Are All Gorgeous Girls Chapter 3: The Lightning Duel

Morning in the Academy of Ruin began with screeching ravens and a breakfast that tried to bite .

I was halfway through battling a croissant with teeth when the dining hall doors exploded open.

"OUTTA THE WAY, LOSERS!"

A blur of blonde lightning zipped across the room—and decked in the face.

"Gah! What the hell?!"

The girl grinned, crouched over . Athletic. Wild. Lightning tattoos crackling on her arms.

"Yuria Blitzfang," she said. "Ranked third. Lightning Core. You're the human, right?"

I groaned. "Was. Before you broke my jaw."

"Let's spar."

"What part of that sounded like consent?"

But she was already dragging to the Arena. Apparently, duels were a normal part of life here.

She tossed a staff. "You don't even have a Core yet, huh? Figures. Try to survive, squishy boy."

Lightning surged as she rushed .

I panicked. Then sothing inside clicked. My Codex flared. Symbols ignited in the air.

Yuria tripped midair. Slamd face-first into the ground.

Silence.

Then... laughter.

"You little cheat!" she howled. "I LIKE you!"

That's when I realized sothing terrifying.

I could change reality.

But only in small bursts.

And only through *code.*

What the hell had I been reborn as?
