Chapter 13 I Was Chosen?
"Lucifer!"
"Lucifer!"
Inside the school auditorium, the shouts of all the demons rose in waves, causing the dome of the auditorium to tremble slightly as if an earthquake had struck.
How much longer are they going to keep shouting...?
Damian was also shouting among the demons, but he felt a burning pain in his throat, and he was afraid that if he kept shouting, he would become mute.
Fortunately, not long after, Alicia, who was floating in the air, slowly spoke.
"It's noisy."
His voice was cold as ice, neither too loud nor too soft, yet loud enough to reach everyone's ears.
The next moment, the demons, who had been screaming wildly, fell completely silent as if a pause button had been pressed, and simply gazed at the sky with reverence.
This was not like Sean's previous use of the intimidation of a high-ranking demon; it was merely a casual remark that commanded all the demons to obey.
At the same time, Alicia's black wings fluttered slightly, and seven jet-black feathers slowly drifted down from the sky.
"Those who wield black feathers are the seven deadly sins of this generation of Babylonian newborns," the Grand Duchess said slowly.
The moment the words fell, the seven swaying black feathers in mid-air seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand, slowly rotating above the dome, each one gleaming with a dim, eerie light.
All the demons' gazes were drawn to the black feather in the sky, their eyes burning with boundless desire.
If they could obtain a single black feather, it would mean they could rise to the top and become one of the Seven Deadly Sins of Babylon Academy. This would not only signify the headmaster's favor but also a complete reversal of the entire demonic destiny.
Pick me! Pick me!
Every demon screamed madly in its heart.
"Don't choose me! Don't choose me!"
Throughout the entire auditorium, only Damian silently recited these words in his heart.
As a human, although Alicia had assigned him the task of getting first place in the final exams, he didn't want all the demons in the academy to know about it so early, let alone stand on the podium being stared at by countless fierce-looking demons.
However, as the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens. Under Damian's tense gaze, one of the seven black feathers floating in the air visibly drew closer and closer to him.
"It might not be me; it could be Veronica next to me, after all, she has a whopping 20 million followers on the showbiz wall!"
Damian, unwilling to believe the truth, deceived himself, even hiding both hands behind his back instead of reaching out to take it like the other demons.
However, the next second, the tip of the black feather tail was inserted precisely into the pocket of his suit jacket.
Damian: "..."
Damn, does this thing even have navigation?
"Brother Damian, congratulations! You are the first person chosen by Lady Alicia, and you are one of this year's Seven Deadly Sins!"
Although Veronica was a little disappointed at not being chosen by Kuroba, she quickly adjusted her mindset and excitedly hugged Damian's arm to congratulate him.
The girl's joyful voice stood out in the otherwise silent hall, instantly attracting the attention of countless demons to Damian.
"Hey, that's one of this year's Seven Deadly Sins! It looks really powerful!"
"To be chosen first by Lady Alicia, perhaps his sin is 'pride'."
"The female demon beside him seems to call him Damian... Impossible, how could a demon have that name? I must have misheard."
"Tsk tsk, he conquered such a beautiful female devil right after entering school. He must be one of us. I think he's more likely guilty of the sin of 'lust'."
...
Listening to the whispers of the demons around him, Damian felt a sense of utter helplessness and despair.
He became the focus of all the demons as soon as he entered school. This might be a good thing for the demons, but he was a living, breathing human being!
Meanwhile, a small number of demons had differing opinions on this.
"He's one of the seven deadly sins... and the first one chosen!"
Two rows behind, the blue-haired boy who had previously mocked Veronica watched this scene, and a hint of shock flashed in his normally indifferent gray-blue eyes.
Fortunately, he did not reject the other party's kindness and responded promptly.
Otherwise, if he were to become enemies with one of the Seven Deadly Sins right after entering school, even for someone of noble birth as a demon god, it would be a considerable trouble.
Just as the blue-haired boy was pondering, a black feather silently landed on his hair.
In the first two rows.
A slender female demon stood silently, with a pair of huge curved horns on her forehead, the horns as black as ink jade, winding out from her hair.
She was completely wrapped in a black veil as thin as a cicada's wing, her pretty face partially obscured by the veil, yet unable to conceal her innate allure.
Just by standing there, the air around them seemed to be filled with romance and lust, and the male demons nearby couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
She gazed at the black-haired boy not far away, a slight smile curving her lips.
"To be chosen by Alicia first, one must possess unparalleled potential."
"If I could subdue it, it would be of great help to my great cause."
She murmured to herself, just then a black feather got caught on her curved horn. She picked it off and held it tightly in her palm.
In the first row, a blond boy stood quietly.
This was the best spot at the entrance ceremony, but he occupied an entire row, and no one dared to come within ten meters of him.
Upon hearing the murmurs around him, the blond boy suddenly turned around.
He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, wearing a fitted dark blue suit with an emerald brooch at the collar. His long, golden hair fell smoothly over his shoulders, the strands gleaming softly under the dome lights, like silk woven from sunlight.
His face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly—long, slender eyebrows, thick eyelashes, a high nose bridge, full lips, and a natural coral pink color...
Add to that her beautiful, deep blue eyes, and if it weren't for her tall, straight figure and slightly protruding Adam's apple, anyone would probably think she was a stunningly beautiful young woman dressed as a man.
At this moment, the blond boy stared intently at the black-haired boy in the distance, his deep blue eyes sharp as knives.
"The first person chosen by Lady Alicia wasn't me..." His hands clenched into fists, and his face, more handsome than a woman's, was filled with displeasure.
"In any case, the one chosen to be 'arrogance' can only be me."
"Furthermore, anyone who dares to covet 'arrogance' will suffer my wrath!"
At that moment, a black feather slowly drifted down and landed on the golden-haired boy's shoulder.
