With every passing second, the tir on the stage updated with real ti, already changing to "[00:01:00]"
Looking forward, I estimated that there were around twenty students here, and surprisingly, all of them had chosen to sit in the back few rows.
What was the point in getting here early if they were going to choose the worst seats?
None of the students sitting down had white hair either...she had probably taken the mana train, which was much slower than a carriage.
Shaking my head, I strolled past them and took in the beautiful scenery around before stopping at the third row nearest the stage.
The chair’s cushions and backrests were colored a crimson-red, contrasting with the cold and hard silver tal that made up the chair.
In front of , the empty stage had a pair of red curtains stretching from side to side, concealing most of the stage area.
Walking into my empty row of chairs, I chose a seat near the middle and sat down, enjoying the lack of a horrid sll.
While the sea sll was strong, the scent of over four hundred students would, no doubt, overpower it, so I had to enjoy this while it lasted.
Pausing for a mont, I glanced forward and examined my system nu.

My current priority had to be mastering my ti freezing ability and increasing my overall stat total.
While I could use my book knowledge to gather a variety of overpowered skills and items imdiately, it would be the equivalent of giving a baby a rocket launcher.
Of course, this didn’t an I wasn’t going to take items, but I had to be careful about it.
Only after mastering what I currently had would I move on.
*STEP*
At that mont, I suddenly jumped back in my chair, almost falling backward into the next row of seats, as a sudden sound echoed from beside .
With the sea preventing from slling humans, I was now prone to being surprised and sneak attacks.
Glancing to my right, I spotted a male student with pitch-black eyes and matching onyx black eyes, slowly entering my row of chairs.
Out of all the empty rows in front and behind , he had chosen mine?
His image didn’t trigger any mories for , so he was probably just a random background character.
The ideal person to befriend!
Soone not involved with the plot line of the book at all.
Sitting and occasionally glancing at his figure, I waited to see if he would approach .
I wasn’t desperate or socially adept enough to jump out of my seat to et him.
Also, if my identity was ever found out, all my credibility would go down the drain.
Imagine word got around that the fad and evil demon king was leaping out of his seat and sprinting over to so random person to say "hi."
Although it didn’t matter, I still considered everything from the perspective that my identity as the demon king would be found out soon.
No secret, no matter how small, could be kept forever.
Perhaps, noticing my gaze, the male student paused for a mont and suddenly sat down a couple of seats away from .
Giving up, I looked back at the stage, passing the ti by simply examining the plaza and watching the ti count down.
The entire area was dead silent with no student willing take the leap and talk to the person beside them, and no teachers or adult figures were in sight.
...
...
...
As the ti read, "[00:00:30]", the deafening silence within the plaza was finally broken as the sounds of students chattering and talking to each other could be heard.
Yet, no other student had dared to join and the other student in the first few rows of seats closest to the stage.
Regretting my decision as the sounds of students speaking comfortably echoed behind , I finally turned to my right.
And, at that very mont, my eyes suddenly made contact with the other student’s.
Had he been looking at this entire ti!?
Pretending as if I hadn’t noticed anything, I shifted my gaze toward the stage, but kept my eyes locked onto his figure.
Sure enough, he was staring right at , his head tilted and all!
Turning my head in the opposite direction of the student to purposely hide my face from his view, I closed my eyes and touched the ring on my right hand.
Were my horns visible or sothing!?
Why the hell was he silently staring at ?
Feeling the ring still on my finger and slowly absorbing my mana, I reopened my eyes...before imdiately falling back in my chair a second ti.
re inches from my face was Daisy, who was staring at with a questioning expression, as if she wanted to ask anything.
Where the hell had she co from!?
Grabbing the back of my chair, Daisy imdiately stabilized my seat, preventing from falling, and reached her hand into her pocket.
"Your eye is creepy. Take this."
It was?
Confusedly, I raised my hand to my face and touched my right eye, feeling absolutely nothing.
My vision was fine without being distorted or blurred in the slightest, so I had completely forgotten about my now revealed right eye.
As if reading my expression, Daisy imdiately pointed at the student behind , who was still staring at , and said.
"It is."
Revealing her palm, Daisy showed the exact sa bandage that I had ripped off in my fight with the djinns earlier.
How had she had the ti to get it?
Reluctantly taking the dirty bandage from my hand, I paused for a mont.
If my vision was fine, why the hell was I putting on the bandage?
Why would I purposely restrict my sight!?
Just as I opened my mouth, another set of words echoed from right in front of .
"I saved your life; just put it on."
Fuming and pissed off, I watched as Daisy walked away and entered one of the blocked off shops within the plaza, disappearing from my sight.
The teachers and staff mbers were feasting in world-class restaurants while I had to sit here awkwardly!?
Covering my bloody and pitch-black eye with the bandage, I sighed and turned away, finally having a reason to talk to the student beside .
"Hey dumbass, you really couldn’t tell that sothing was wrong with my eye?"
