I stared intently at the guy.

The name tag on his chest read [Min Tae-hoon].

‘This guy is definitely a Demonfolk.’

At first, I thought I might have misread him, but focusing my magical energy confirmed it. The dark aura emanating from him was unmistakably the filthy magic unique to Demonfolk.

‘But how did this guy get in?’

It was strange. Of course, I knew that the male quota system typically didn’t perform strict skill or magical aptitude tests, allowing students to enter randomly. If that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have been able to get in either.

However, when I enrolled last year, there had been a precedent where I was suspected of being a Demon. Lina had placed detection barriers throughout the academy to sense Demonfolk.

‘Did he slip past that?’

If so, he likely had a power. Probably something related to mental manipulation or stealth. He could easily escape detection from a magic detector or thorough inspection.

And the fact that he was here meant that the Demonfolk were starting to catch on to Lina's inability to intervene directly in worldly matters.

‘Should I kill him now?’@@novelbin@@

Even with such powers, a dead body can’t lie. If I killed him and performed an autopsy, his true nature as a Demon would be revealed.

You might think he’d be a tough opponent?

Not really.

At this level, Demonfolk were hardly a challenge.

Sure, there were occasionally stronger ones among them, like the Seven Deadly Sins, but honestly, they were all about the same.

Demonfolk were barely more than a launching pad for Demons.

What mattered was capturing the Demons.
