Worst Outcome

After defeating the Shadow Demons and encountering a few acquaintances, I decided to climb the stairs and head for the last floor—where everyone else was taking refuge.

Upon getting to the large hallway, I was met with the gazes of several students. They were well over a hundred, and murmurs flowed among them. Of course, the volume of their disgruntled tone drastically reduced the moment they saw me.

'Sigh, let's get this over with…'

Now practically surrounded by curious, frightful students, I calmed their nerves and decided to explain a few things to them.

"WHAAAAAATTTT?!"

To put things into summary, the students instantly flipped once I told them the identity of our assaulters.

They simply couldn't believe that Demons—the stuff of fairy tales and legends—were actually real, and currently attacking them. Many students gave me suspicious glares, most likely conceiving notions that suited them best.

I was less concerned about what they thought, though.
