First Event

Top Tier Demon

Some 2 days had passed since Novar and Nara arrived at the Demon Union Capital. Novar continued his training in the backyard of his special residence. But he was more focused on practicing his sword techniques because physical training could not be done in a narrow place.

*slash slash slash slash…*

Waves of wind appeared and spread around Novar as he stopped his sword movement. There are so many sword marks imprinted on the stone floor where Novar was training. all of that was printed because Novar continued to train 23 hours a day and only rested for 1 hour while reading a history book.

"This is perfect… with this, I will not fail when using a lethal attack… very difficult to adapt to a small body like this… but now I'm used to it… there will be no mistake like before."

Novar kept remembering his failure when fighting against Flosava. His failure to kill Flosava was none other than because he was still having trouble adapting to his small body. Moreover, the sword technique used before was only limited to using his past memories without any training. While Novar was wiping the sword he used for training, a woman appeared behind him.

"I'm sorry master… the traffic at the gate makes me late."

"Ah, Natalia… perfect timing… I want to test my skill… can you be my sparing partner…?"

"As you wish…"

Without asking, Natalia immediately drew her sword and prepared to fight Novar. She gets used to obeying Novar's order without asking anything.

"Get ready… Start…!"

*slash…*

Before Natalia could make a move, the scene she saw was spinning because her head was floating in the air.

"Eh…?"

Novar's movements became sharper than before and managed to cut Natalia's body in an instant. Her arm, neck, and leg get cut before she can react to Novar's attack.

"Hmmm… even now I can win this easily… body adjustment is the best way… just as Mr. Ronfa said… this training will make the biggest effect…"

Previously Ronfa gave Novar instructions on the exercises he should do. he gave a very short and simple piece of instructions to Novar.

'You must get used to using your little body…'

Those words continued to guide Novar until he finally attained enlightenment through intense practice. The intense training isn't just for increasing muscles in Novar's body. But it's also a way of getting used to his small body.

"That was a great slash master… I can't see when you cut my body."

Natalia spoke with her head still lying on the ground. Natalia would not die unless her body was cut by a holy weapon or a weapon covered in holy water.

"So you already can't see my movement… that was good news for me… but… how long will it take for your body to reassemble...?"

"Ah, don't worry master…"

Suddenly Natalia's head and body parts on the ground flew towards her main body. Then Natalia's body parts rejoin as usual in a few seconds.

"Hmmm… it's still too slow… I think you must train your recovery skill again… until you can recover your body in an instant… like this…"

*slash…*

Novar cut off his own hand, but the cut of his hand turned into a puff of red smoke before falling to the ground. The red smoke was a collection of blood particles controlled by Novar. In an instant, the blood particles coalesced and restored the condition of Novar's hand which had been severed earlier.

"See…? As my servant, you must do your best…"

"Yes, master…!"

"Then I will help with your training today until the first event of the young devil party begins."

Time flew so fast when Novar helped Natalia practice, the sun rose and all the young devil party participants gathered. But the special treatment was again received by selected participants where they got a seat in the front row.

'So they divided the participants into several groups… interesting… this is a good idea, but… all the first lines are filled with pure-blood demons or high demons… I'm sure it was all done so that no demons would protest… their choice was very right, moreover all the demon races in the first row looked quite strong.'

The entire hall suddenly went dark after all the participants were present. Spotlights lit up on the stage which was already filled with a demon and a large black rock. This time the young devil party was attended by 2455 participants consisting of young people aged 5 to 8 years. All participants know about the information and have got their respective participant numbers.

"Welcome young generation of the demon race... we thank you for coming all the way to the Demon Union Capital just to be here... so let me personally welcome you... "

The host looked down for a moment and took a breath. Then his expression changed along with two black horns growing on his head.

"WELCOME TO YOUNG DEVIL PARTY...!! A BIG EVENT THAT WAS THE FIRST PART OF THE YOUNG DEMON GENERATION...!! WHERE YOUR POTENTIAL IS MEASURED AND THE STRONGEST GETS EVERYTHING...!!"

The host's voice became very loud and loud along with his face which looked scary. But it actually makes the participants look more excited.

"FOR THE FIRST EVENT YOU WILL BE DIVIDED INTO 3 GROUPS....! WHERE YOU MUST TOUCH THIS BLACK STONE AND GET A RATING."

Novar could only clench his fists as he couldn't wait to find out how strong his comrades were of the same generation as him. The host continued to explain the rules of the first event. the main reason why they were divided into three groups was a large number of participants. All participants will be divided into three and get 3 different measurement locations. Novar who belonged to the elite group along with the first line was merged into one group.

"Here we will explain what you should do…"

the supervisors explain that all statuses of the participants will be measured through a black stone which is often called the measuring stone. But the participants could not find out the results of measuring the status of their fellow young devil party participants. Only supervisors and the audience can see the results of measuring the status of the participants. Of course, the participants wouldn't be able to gather information from the audience either. Because the participants' locations were in an isolated area of ​​space magic.

"Number 95… Number 96 and number 97… come in…"

"Yes…"

The participants were called by the number to speed up status measurement. Novar who got the number 95 entered a special room containing black stones and a supervisor. there are 3 tents where the measurement is provided by the organizers in each group. each tent has sound and sight-blocking magic. So no one can cheat by peeking at the measurement results using magic.

"Please put your hand on the measuring stone."

"yes…"

The black stone started to emit a red glow on the carving when Novar put his hand. Then a hologram created from the radiance of the measuring stone's magic appeared. Novar was quite surprised when he saw the display on the magic hologram of the measuring stone.

[Novar Seviyor Agis De Valencia]

Strength : 22

Agility : 15

Intelligent : 50

The status shown is only the number of the three main points in the status. Even Novar's intelligence status which was being suppressed using magic items also seemed to decrease. It showed the magic item that sealed half of Novar's magic power was working properly.

"That was impressive… you have powerful magic don't you…?"

"Thanks…"

Novar just smiled and thanked him when he heard the praise from the supervisor who was measuring his status.

'I didn't expect... half of my strength is called powerful... that means the strongest participants only have intelligence status of around 50 to 60 points.'

Novar was directed to a waiting room that looked quite luxurious after undergoing a status measurement. A luxurious room with Sofa, food, and drinks for the participants who waiting. Even though the number of participants in the first group whose status was measured was more than 90 people. But the number of participants in the waiting room was only about 50 people. Novar walked while looking around him which was full of young demons until he saw Nara who was being approached by 3 people.

'what is she doing in the corner of the room...?'

"Hehehe… you're so lucky as fairy race…"

"That's right... how can a weak race that asks for the demon race's help be on par with us…"

"This room is only for strong people who will lead the demons and their allies in the future... a fairy race like you is more suited to be my subordinates…"

Novar just drank the drink he took from the table while watching Nara from afar.

'This is what I'm worried about… because the demon race feels superior to other races… especially in the races that asked for protection from the demon lord… but…'

"Nara… come with me… I have business with you…"

The young demons looked at Novar with scornful eyes for coming to help Nara. One of them also touched Novar's hand because he was trying to pull Nara out. Novar fell silent as his hand was held back by one of the 3 young demons surrounding Nara.

"Can't you see we're talking to her...?"

"Don't touch me…"

"Do you want to be a hero by helping her...? Be human if you want to be a hero…"

"Don't touch me… this is my last warning… don't touch my hand…"

"Look me in the eye when you talk vampire boy...! And what you can do if I keep touching your hand…?"

*BOOM…*

The sound of explosions rang out from the waiting room, surprising some of the supervisors. When they checked what was happening in the waiting room, the heads of 3 young demons were already buried in the wall.

"WHAT HAPPENED…!?"
