"I have no interest in that position," Shesi said indifferently.
Iruma also looked at his brother. Earlier, he seemed to have transformed into a strange state and even had demon wings... Could it be... Shesi saw Iruma staring at him in a daze, knowing that he was overthinking again. He smiled and patted Iruma's head.
"No matter what, I am your brother."
Iruma was startled at first, then nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, Shesi pretended to stretch and looked away. From the beginning, Shesi had felt two gazes constantly fixed on him. If Shesi wasn't mistaken, the owners of these two gazes should be the two female demons he had teased: Crocell Kerori and Ikus Elizabetta. Both of them were great beauties... and now they were both looking at him, occasionally looking for an opportunity to get revenge... While he was still lost in thought, the others had already received their rank badges.
"Hey, you trash over there, it's your turn now." Only Shesi and Iruma were left. Just as Iruma was about to step forward to get his rank badge, Kalego suddenly frowned and looked at Shesi.
"You go first this time," Kalego interrupted Iruma and then said to Shesi.
"Huh? Oh." Shesi shrugged indifferently and then put his hand directly into the pocket. Perhaps because Shesi had already exited his demon state, the three-eyed owl surprisingly received the same treatment that Iruma had in his previous life when he reached in.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" The three-eyed owl shrieked, and then Shesi found five golden rings appearing on his hand.
"Huh?" Shesi looked at this scene in surprise.
"No..." Shesi's mouth twitched wildly.
Then Shesi tried it and found that, just like in the anime of his previous life, he couldn't take them off.
Just as the owl was about to fly away, Shesi grabbed it.
"What about my brother?"
Shesi directly grabbed the owl with one hand and Iruma's hand, who had walked over, with the other. He put Iruma's hand into the pocket, and when he pulled it out again, sure enough, Iruma also had a golden ring on his hand.
Everyone looked at Kalego strangely, because just now someone had worried that Iruma might pull out something strange from the three-eyed owl's pocket, but Kalego had flatly refused.
"The three-eyed owl is both strict and precise. It won't be swayed by anything, and this owl hasn't shrieked in hundreds of years."
Now, not only did it shriek, but it shrieked twice in a row.
Sabnock looked at the rings on their hands. The first time he saw Shesi take them out, he recalled the Demon King's Prophecy Book he heard from his father when he was a child.
That person will take all races as his subordinates, forge blood contracts, and bestow healing upon all beings. He will descend gracefully from a foreign land, and on his right hand will be a ring that glows with golden light, housing the power of Solomon. However, after seeing Shesi put Iruma's hand into the pocket and pull out a ring, he dismissed this idea. After all, who would have so many rings housing the power of Solomon? Did they think it was wholesale?
But what Sabnock didn't know was that the previous Demon King had a golden ring on each hand. Although he didn't know if they housed the power of Solomon, they looked exactly like the ones on Shesi and Iruma's hands.
After Iruma's hand was taken out of the pocket, the three-eyed owl flew away.
"Eh?" Iruma hadn't reacted yet when he saw the owl fly away.
"Wait... my rank badge..." Iruma still wanted to argue a bit more. After saying that, Iruma tried to take off the ring, but suddenly found that the ring seemed to be stuck... Iruma looked at his brother next to him, as if seeking help.
Shesi, on the other hand, looked at the rings on his hand with a depressed expression.
"I feel like a real estate mogul..."
At this moment, Clara's voice rang out.
"Iruma-kun, what is that...?" Clara pointed to a black shadow behind Iruma. It turned out to be a black shadow emerging from the ring, making everyone feel that something was wrong.
Shesi glanced at the ring on his hand, which showed no movement... Damn it, he felt even more like his was a fake.
Just as Iruma was frantically trying to shake off the black shadow emerging from the ring, Sabnock walked over.
"It seems not. I knew it... And I've never heard of Solomon's ring emitting black smoke. It's definitely not it."
As soon as Sabnock confirmed it, the black shadow emerging from Iruma's ring began to make noise. The huge noise could be heard throughout the entire academy, but this noise seemed to have no effect on Iruma. However, Shesi felt a little annoyed listening to the sound for some reason. Perhaps it was because Shesi had the demon mode due to Adaptation, but since he hadn't activated it, it didn't affect him much.
"Ugh! So loud!"
"It sounds like something is crying out."
Clara heard the keyword: crying.
"If it's crying, just sing a lullaby," she said, and then began to sing. Although Clara's singing wasn't great, the black shadow in the ring seemed to enjoy it and stopped making noise.
"Good, if it's not that, then I'll help you! My good rival!" Sabnock walked up, intending to help Iruma, but as soon as he got close, he was touched by the black shadow and fell directly to the ground.
"Sabnock!" Iruma looked at Sabnock in shock.
The invincible Sabnock is down again!
"Iruma-sama, leave this to me..." Asmodeus saw Sabnock fall and walked up, also wanting to help Iruma, but...
The invincible Asmodeus is down again!
Finally, Kalego walked from behind Iruma and patted Iruma's shoulder, wanting to look at the ring. He suddenly felt a pressure, and it seemed as if his hand had been directly severed.
The black shadow also seemed to emit a sound.
"Teacher."
P.S. Short story: While Shesi, Iruma, and Sabnock were preparing to send off the Leader's child in the Screaming Gorge, the Leader, wanting to repay their kindness, offered to give the three of them a ride. As soon as they got on the Leader's back, Iruma looked around. Although the Leader's back only had fur, it didn't stop Iruma from looking with great interest.
"The fur is actually soft, even though Sabnock couldn't hit it," Shesi said as he touched it. Hearing this, Sabnock was also very surprised. During the flight, Iruma, looking at the rapidly moving Leader, suddenly felt he should grab onto something to avoid falling off. But where should he grab? Would it hurt the Leader if he pulled its feathers? If Sabnock had heard Iruma's words, he would have surely spit blood. *I haven't shed fur all day, and you think you can pull it off?* Ultimately, Sabnock directly pressed Iruma onto the fur to resist the strong wind from the high-speed flight. Iruma just wanted to say that it felt like being pressed onto a bed by a rock.
