Chapter 127: Chapter 127 – Celers (1)

After that, Andrew, Sylvia, Ley, and I left the training room.

I was still thinking about the words of Mrs. Heller. I felt that these words resonated with me a lot.

‘Strength is not everything, but in the current messed up world, it’s very important.’

In just a couple of months, I died once, met a demon that took my soul as its house, and was chased by a criminal trying to avenge his brother.

In the end, the reason all these things happened was my lack of strength.

Hell, even the reason why Karime left me is related.

The demon chuckled in amusement.

[The world is like that. The weak perish and the strong survive. That has never changed, only that it shows in different ways according to the era.]

‘Perhaps…’ I did not deny the demon’s words. ‘Even so, I don’t think strength is everything.’

[That is because you are weak.] The demon sneered in disdain. [Only the weak think that strength is not everything. The stronger you are, the more you realize how important strength is.

[Boy, remember that you are my host. That means that you are destined for a life of struggle. And if you don’t want to lose everything in the way, then you can only become as strong as possible.]

I remained silent while contemplating the demon’s words.

Strength, huh?

Can strength really achieve anything?

“Brother, what are you thinking about?” Ley suddenly asked me when she noticed that I was unusually silent.

I snapped out of my daze and smiled awkwardly at her.

“Nothing. I was just thinking about the words of the teacher.”

“Is it so?” Ley looked at me doubtfully. “Lately you become lost in your thoughts a lot, brother. Are you perhaps being bothered by something?”

I was startled before smiling wryly.

So she noticed...

Since I met the demon inside that dungeon, I have been thinking a lot.

I experienced death firsthand and killed people for the first time. Now, I have a ticking time bomb living in my soul, and my lifespan is constantly decreasing, so it’s normal that I become more silent and taciturn.

But it’s worrying that Ley noticed it.

I don’t want to see her concerned about me.

“Don’t worry, Ley. It’s just that I have been thinking about a lot of things since I awakened. Everything is alright.”

“Really?” Ley did not seem convinced, but after hesitating slightly, she sighed.

“Well, if you don’t want to tell me, it doesn’t matter. But, brother, if you ever need help, please tell me, okay?”

I smiled and nodded.

“I promise.”

Sorry, Ley, but I don’t think I can tell you anything about anything related to the demon.

[By the way, boy, don’t you think it’s already time?]

Huh?

[It has been a while since you slept with a new woman. You don’t have much time left.]

... Right, that.

I sighed in my mind with a complicated expression.

I almost forgot that I need to sleep with a new woman regularly or I will die.

I have been busy with the entrance examination and the college lately, so I put that aside. But as the demon said, it’s already time for me to replenish my soul.

Right now, I have less than one month left, so I should hurry.

I do not have any candidates, though. Should I just go for a prostitute?

I really don’t want to do that, though. If for some reason Ley or my friends learn that I visited a prostitute, I will be too ashamed to meet them.

… Well, it's more shameful if they learn that I slept with Karime and Jessica’s mom.

Anyway, I should start looking for someone to sleep with, and if I can't find anyone within the time limit, I'll just go for a prostitute.

Sigh, why is my life so complicated?

Just then, we heard a commotion coming from the distance.

Curious, we looked toward the direction of the commotion, only to see a lot of students pointing toward a group walking through the campus.

But soon, we noticed something strange about the group.

“… They are not humans,” Ley said with a surprised look.

I was also surprised, but soon I remembered the words of my mother.

She told me that students from other races would come to our college as exchange students.

However, I thought they would not arrive until one week later. Why are they already here?

I observed the group with furrowed brows.

Unlike humans, the five people in that group did not have brown skin. Instead, three of them have light blue skin, and the remaining two have whitish skin.

Their height was similar to humans, but their facial features and builds made it obvious that they were not humans. No matter how you looked at them, they seemed alien.

“Celers…” Andrew muttered their origin.

One of the three civilizations that invaded humanity, and the strongest of them.

The Celer Confederation.

Unlike humans, their civilization consisted of more than one race. They were an interstellar civilization with high mastery in magic and technology and dozens of colonized planets.

Compared to them, humanity was just a shabby group. I heard a rumor that their civilization was so strong that they could easily conquer humanity in less than one week if they tried to.

And now, five members of the Celer Confederation were here.

It was my first time seeing people of other races, and I must say, they look intimidating.

Even from afar, my instincts were warning me that they were dangerous.

At that moment, one of them looked in our direction and put on a startled expression.

Then, he told something to the rest and they all looked toward us in surprise and curiosity.

I was startled, but soon, I realized who they were looking at.

Sylvia.

They were definitively looking at her.

And she returned their gaze with an amused smile.

Then, she turned around disinterested.

“Let’s go. We will be late for the next class.”

Sylvia, who in the hell are you?
