I am no longer human!

Chapter 35 The Academy Bar

Babylonian College, Bar.

This is a basement bar, but the interior space is so large that it can easily accommodate thousands of people.

The dome of the hall is more than ten meters high and is adorned with dozens of crystal chandeliers.

Unlike the dimly lit bars on Earth that are illuminated by colorful neon lights, this place is almost as bright as day, except that the entire space is bathed in a warm amber hue.

The hall features over a hundred miniature bar tables scattered throughout, with ample walkways between them. In the center is a giant circular dance floor, above which is a huge transparent screen.

Tick-tock...

The entire hall was filled with soothing, light music that was almost too pleasant for the ears.

This place has now gathered a large number of demons. Some sit at the bar, drinking alone or talking with their companions, while others dance with newly met demons of the opposite sex on the dance floor.

Unsurprisingly, Damian and his group caused a sensation as soon as they stepped into the bar.

"Lord Damian, your magnificent roar upon reaching the tenth level of the Ladder of Will today was truly awe-inspiring. Please allow me to offer you a toast!"

"Brother Damian, I think your obsidian eyes are super sexy. Would you mind dancing with me? My tail can spin around, you know~"

"Lord Damian... no, Boss, are you still accepting followers? I'd go through fire and water for you!"

...

All sorts of demons gathered around. Some were dressed in formal attire and came to offer toasts respectfully. Some sexy female demons swayed their long tails and invited others to dance. Some muscular male demons took the initiative to come forward and acknowledge their leader.

However, all of these demons were blocked by Raphael and Veronica, who were by Damian's side.

"Lord Damian (my brother) only wishes to drink in peace today. You impudent demons, get out of here immediately!"

The two stood like two impenetrable walls, deterring all the demons who wanted to approach Damian.

The two of them then escorted Damian to a bar where no one was sitting yet.

"Lord Damian, what kind of wine would you like to order?"

After we were seated, the devilish bartender in a black and white uniform respectfully handed us a drink menu.

Some of these bartenders were students from impoverished families working part-time, while others were little devils hired from outside. For them, it was perfectly natural to call the Principal Damian, the "Sin of Pride" appointed by the current headmaster, "Master."

Damian took the wine list and glanced at it. Crown of Pride, Forge of Greed, Kiss of Lust, Eye of Envy, Good Morning Lucifer... all sorts of wine names appeared one after another.

I don't know any of them.

"A Crown of Pride, please." After a moment's thought, Damian chose the one that felt most at ease with him at the moment, and it was also the cheapest.

"Like Lord Damian, I also want a cup of the Crown of Pride."

Same as above!

...

Before long, three stemmed glasses filled with pale blue liquid were placed on the bar.

The blue liquid is topped with a layer of shimmering golden honey, resembling a golden crown.

Damian carefully picked up the glass, took a small sip, and this was the first time he had ever drunk alcohol in his seventeen years of life, except for when he was a child and his relatives forced him to drink a few mouthfuls of baijiu, which almost made him faint.

The moment the liquor enters the mouth, it is not spicy as expected. Instead, it has a refreshing bubbly sensation similar to Genki Forest, bursting on the tip of the tongue.

In addition, there is a sweet, honey-like sensation that slowly envelops the tongue like silk.

Drink it well!

This was the first time Damian had ever tasted such a delicious beverage; he felt so good that his tongue was practically spinning.

"Another cup, please!"

"No problem." The bartender smiled and handed over another glass of Crown of Pride.

Being so liked by "Pride," who is destined to become a high-ranking devil, is an important achievement in his bartending career.

After drinking several cocktails, Damian felt dizzy, so he went to rest in the sofa area not far from the bar.

After he left, Raphael and Veronica fell into a long silence.

"Tell me, how did you get to know Lord Damian, and even become his friend?"

Finally, Raphael broke the silence first, his azure eyes fixed on the purple-haired female devil in front of him, especially the large expanse of snow-white skin exposed between the girl's black tube top and purple hot pants.

However, the blond boy's eyes did not contain a trace of the lust that belonged to a male demon; instead, they were filled with scrutiny and completely undisguised hostility.

Tch, dressed so scantily and provocatively, she must be trying to seduce my friend because of Lord Damian's high status!

"During the entrance ceremony, I ran into Brother Damian, so I asked him to be my friend, and he agreed."

After hesitating for a moment, Veronica chose to answer truthfully.

"A chance encounter?"

Raphael emphasized the word, and his gaze toward the female demon before him grew increasingly cold.

"Do you even believe that yourself?" A hint of disdain flashed across the blond boy's face.

In Hell, any demon who isn't blind can see Lord Damian's boundless potential and noble status from his perfect human form and magnificent attire, and indeed, that is the case.

Seeing this, Veronica sighed softly. She knew that her little scheme would not escape the notice of Raphael, the young master of the Gremory family, but she already had a way to deal with it.

"I know my approach to Damian might have been deliberate, but he did accept me," Veronica replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Raphael's cold gaze faltered.

Yes, no matter how deliberate Veronica's approach to Lord Damian was, Lord Damian did accept Veronica.

Regardless of Lord Damian's motives for doing this, he should not question Lord Damian's choice.

I really dislike you.

After a long silence, Raphael finally managed to utter these words.

"...Same to you."

Veronica rolled her eyes. Perhaps because of the alcohol, she was less afraid of the young lord of Gremory and at least dared to talk back.

Even though Hell has entered a new era, the hierarchy among demons remains distinct, and the young lord of the demon god family undoubtedly occupies the highest rank in Hell. Therefore, Veronica's actions can be considered quite courageous.

"Although we dislike each other, I hope we can still put on a friendly facade in front of Lord Damian."

After a moment of silence, Raphael spoke again.

"Of course, if you dare to say even a single bad word about me in front of Lord Damian, I will make you regret being born in hell."

The blond boy's tone was filled with undisguised murderous intent.

"No problem, then let's toast to our fake friendship."

Now that the conversation had begun, the purple-haired female demon paid no heed to the murderous intent in the other party's words and instead raised her wine glass towards him.

"..."

Raphael hesitated for a while before finally picking up his wine glass.

boom.

With a crisp clinking of glass, the two wine glasses briefly nestled together before separating and settling back into their own swaying motion.

...

At the same time, a beautiful figure completely shrouded in black gauze slowly approached the black-haired boy who was lying on the sofa, half asleep, holding a wine glass.

Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile unique to hunters.
