"Good work. Thank you for answering diligently."
"Not at all. I'll be going then."
Bowing her head, Luina left the Chancellor's office.
"Hmm."
The Chancellor flipped through the reports one after another.
"They're all saying the same thing."
"Indeed. A demon, a demon... Honestly, it doesn't feel real. Do you think this is the truth?"
"No, sir."
"At least pretend to consider it."
"Of all things, a demon? If demons had really descended, would it be possible for mere students to vanquish one?"
That made sense. Demons were humanity's archenemies, walking disasters.
If students could vanquish them, would they really be called humanity's archenemies?
Would the first Emperor, who defeated demons and King Colomo to establish the Empire, have been so revered?
No. It was like how knights aren't praised for killing orcs.
Nevertheless, what was unsettling was that all the students interviewed so far were saying the same thing.
"They must have colluded to align their stories."
