Since he couldn't leave, he'd break that rule in turn.
Nyx casually pulled out a copy of the Academy Code, spread it out on the table, picked up a quill, and began to write.
But what he wrote wasn't the academy code, it was "Nyx Lucifer's Ultimate Demon Contract".
He was going to create new rules in this forbidden area!
His fingertips burned slightly, and golden chains appeared in the air, apparently resisting his magical interference.But Nyx did not hesitate to increase his magic power, a cocky smile on his lips as he tried to rewrite the order of this space.
However, just at the moment he was about to succeed-
Snap!A thick copy of the Academy Code smashed directly onto his head.
Nyx: "..."
He froze for a moment and looked up to the ceiling, realizing that numerous copies of the College Code were swaying slightly at the very top of the bookshelf, as if they were all about to come crashing down next.
At the same time, Ellis' calm voice slowly resounded through the space, "Nyx."
Covering his head, Nyx raised his head and found Ellis standing right at the end of the bookshelf, quietly looking at him with a frighteningly calm expression.
"Do you want to copy, or do you want to be knocked out by a book?"Ellis said lightly.
Nyx stared at him, silent for a few seconds, then slowly gave a helpless smile, "You win."
Ellis nodded slightly and left only one sentence before turning to leave, "I'll check the progress in the morning."
Then, Nix's resistance failed, and he was forced to start the long journey of copying.
On the other hand, the rumors about Nix in the academy continued to fester.
The students were abuzz with talk.
"Have you heard?That Tutor Ellis' contracted demon, he messed up again yesterday!"
"Yeah, I saw the magic carvings on the academy's gate this morning, and I heard that he did it himself!"
"It's too exaggerated ... but seriously, he's so good looking, everything he does is like he's making art."
"I heard from the tutors that he was recently punished by Tutor Ellis for copying the academy code."
"Really?A demon is also punished for copying?"
"Who made him Tutor Ellis's contracted demon ... But, that said, don't you think Tutor Ellis is too special for him?"
"Hmm?"
"You see, Mentor Ellis has always been cold and strict, even when ordinary students make mistakes he simply admonishes them and never cares much.But in the face of Nix, not only did he not tear up the contract, instead he allowed him to live in the tutor's dormitory, and even specifically designed the punishment method, it's not at all like he wanted to expel him."
"... kind of makes sense."
"Moreover, have you guys noticed that although Nyx was always mischievous, he never really hurt anyone in the academy?"
"... Eh?"
"That means he's actually quite restrained."
"Put it this way, I seem to have noticed that he pranks people, but never lets them actually get hurt."
For a while, there was a subtle change in the crowd's attitude towards this "demon".
This made a certain demon who was lying on his desk, frantically copying the academy's code of conduct, completely unaware that the winds of the outside world had quietly changed.
It wasn't until the next morning, when he dragged his tired body out of the library, that he realized that the gaze ... of the entire academy looking at him seemed to have taken on a trace of marvelous awe.
Nix: "?"
What's going on?He had only copied the academy code for one night, how come the academy's demeanor had changed?
Confused, Nyx scanned the circle and realized that the gazes of both the instructors and the students had become strange as they looked at him.
If their attitude towards him before was one of amazement, curiosity, and awe, now there was more than a hint of ... admiration?
Nyx: "... Wait, what the hell did he miss?
He'd obviously just been locked up in the library by Ellis for the night copying the academy code, so how come the whole academy had gotten weird when he woke up?He casually stopped a passing student, his tone lazy and casual: "Hey, what have you guys been rumoring lately?"
The student who was stopped instantly turned red in the face and stammered, "No, nothing ... Just heard that you were punished for copying the academy code yesterday."
Nyx: "Oh?What's there to pass around?"
The student hesitated and whispered, "But ... but you're evil!"
Nyx narrowed his eyes, "So what?Aren't you still human?It's just that now it's merely in the human world."
"That's why everyone thinks that the fact that you're willing to abide by the Academy's rules and are still willing to be punished means that you're not at all one of those utterly evil demons ... or even ..." the student took a deep breath, looking at Nyx with a solemn face, "You might be showing loyalty to Mentor Ellis in your own way!"
Nyx: "?"
What kind of outrageous interpretation is this?
