The process of destroying, rebuilding, and strengthening Mart's demonic body took almost two whole months.

When he opened his eyes, his body was covered in dirty, dried blood, and his bathrobe was in tatters. But he felt stronger than before he absorbed the drop of blood.

[All main attributes exceed 120 points: you are a demon in the fifth rank (demonic reward)]

[Main mission: Make all attributes exceed 180 points (system reward)]

Mart got up, went to the bathroom, and under the shower, the dried blood began to fall seconds later under the influence of the water.

After leaving the bathroom, Mart dressed in an exquisite and elegant white outfit with gold trim.

"I'll call Isirid to ask her what day it is and what the situation is at the border," Mart thought as he took the demonic communication crystal out of his demonic bag.

...

At the borders, after several battles, the humans launched a powerful attack involving half of the imperial paladin army forces commanded by General and Minister of War Rasgar Relvin.

The strong human army pushed back the demon army, which had suffered many casualties.

After what could be considered the third defeat in this war, the Republican Council decided for the first time to send a third of the Baratrense army to guard the borders and demonic territories.

...

Now that he was aware of the situation facing the Argaris Republic and after learning that it was the middle of the week. He got up from the chair he was sitting in, changed his clothes, and put on his Academy uniform.

"I'll go to my classes to catch up on my assignments, and then in the afternoon I'll head to the restricted library to finish reading the book Demonic Hearts," Mart decided as he walked to the door of his room and then walked to his classroom.

...

Mart arrived in the classroom when two-thirds of the day's classes had already ended.

The atmosphere at the Academy was so gloomy among most of the students that no one cared that he was late for class.

Some students were afraid of what would happen shortly after graduation, and others had confirmed that some of their relatives had died.

Mart just walked over and sat down near Selis and Asfil and greeted Selenia, who was sitting not far away.

Selis and Asfil seemed a little nervous. Mart noticed, but he preferred to wait until class was over to talk to them.

...

In the cafeteria, after class.

"What's wrong?" Mart asked Selis and Asfil.

"I'm worried about my parents," Selis said timidly, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.

Mart looked at Asfil, and she also seemed concerned about what would happen to her relatives.

Although Mart had sent a letter to Teraz Sevec requesting that Selis, Asfil, and Emy's relatives be stationed in the rear and only as support for the marquisate's army, he knew after talking to Isirid that the situation at the border was dangerous.

After the three of them ordered their meals, they sat down at a rectangular table in the cafeteria.

-I would be lying if I told you not to worry. But you should know that your relatives are in the rear guard of the army led by my grandfather. If something happens in the end, it was fate. We can only be strong and hope that things like this don't happen again.

The two nodded, but said nothing in response to Mart's comment. He avoided sighing and began to eat his unicorn rabbit steak and vegetables with grised sauce.

...

Mart said goodbye to Selis and Asfil and headed for the restricted library as he had decided.

"I feel sorry for them, but I don't yet have the power to be decisive in a war," Mart thought just as he entered the library, greeted a student at the reception desk, and then walked between the shelves until he reached the dark wall at the end of the library.

The wall transformed into a huge angry face that opened its mouth. Mart entered, walked through the darkness, and shortly thereafter entered the restricted library.

He greeted a student from class S who knew him and was at the reception desk at that moment. After that, Mart went directly to the place where the book Demonic Hearts was located.

Mart picked up the book after a long time. Now, with his enhanced energy sensitivity, he could feel his demonic energy resonating with the book Demonic Hearts.

"This book definitely still hides more important secrets," Mart concluded as he walked to one of the desks furthest from the reception area of the restricted library.

"The last vivid recollection of seclusion lasts for a year, so I'll wait until I graduate to seclude myself. Before that, I'll take advantage of this semester to finish reading this book if circumstances allow," Mart sat down in the chair in front of one of the desks and opened the book he hadn't been able to finish reading in over a year.

If you have experienced the gift I have bestowed upon those fortunate demons worthy of reaching the heights their ancestors achieved, you should feel lucky. If you don't believe so, then you probably consider it a horrible torture by my master, or perhaps you just don't know what I'm talking about.

Next, I will tell you what happened after I left that torturous but effective seclusion that allowed me to reach the second rank of King. As you may already know, those horrendous demonic pills did their part; without a large amount of demonic energy and a lot of effort, I would have only reached the first rank.

After leaving my seclusion, I walked around the palace, greeting the servants, a little afraid of the next test my master might impose on me.

I sat on the grass in one of the gardens and admired the beautiful blue sky above the palace.

"Ungrateful disciple. Don't you plan to live up to your master?"
