226 Secrets {4} - Rebellion
There was no emotion within them. One distinct tiny horn could be seen coming out of the middle of her forehead.
Her skin was slightly crimson, and two tiny wings could be seen coming out of her back.
She was frail and tiny, making her look much younger than she actually was. It was as if she hadn't been fed properly for years, yet, like a starving lion at the zoo, it looked like her soul and will had been beaten to the ground to such a level that it seemed like she had no desire anymore, nor any will to fight back.
"I do not need your money." The woman growled with obvious distaste in her voice.
In that instance, the man felt as if hundreds of eyes had fallen upon him, staring at him from the shadows to rip into him and kill him on the spot.
"2000 going once!" The man on the stage could not help but shiver when he looked into the woman's eyes. It was clear that she was much stronger than everyone there combined. The only thing he was happy about was the fact that she didn't seem like she was against what they were doing, and was a strong upholder of the law.
Or, at least, that was what his instincts were telling him.
"2000 gold going twice!" The man looked around, but after seeing that no one intended to refute the offer, a glint of greed shone within his eyes before a grin appeared on his face.
'Thank god I bought this one. Who knew it would make me so rich!'
"Sold!" He clapped his hands thrice and yanked the chain on the crimson-skinned demon.
The demon quickly fell to the ground, but she didn't make a single sound. She quietly got up again and looked at her new master with her dead eyes.
The burly woman walked forward and, grabbed the girl by the chain and dragged her away.
Everyone parted out of the way for her, their eyes glistening with slight envy.
A few minutes later, the burly woman entered a few alleyways and reached a particularly dark one. A staircase going down could be seen at the end of it, or at least it could be seen through the woman's eyes.
The slave didn't make an expression. If she were to die here, then that would be better than the life she was living.
It didn't really matter to her, though.
She had already gone through so much that she couldn't feel anything anymore.
Life was no longer worth living, yet she couldn't even end it herself due to the collar on her neck that the woman had already imbued with her mana.
Suddenly, in the demon's eyes, the burly-cloaked woman began to step through the ground itself.
The demon quickly understood that this was some kind of secret hideout, or maybe even a dungeon where they kept their slaves. She didn't know, and she didn't care.
She quickly stepped into the ground as well and went down the almost neverending staircase.
After what felt like a dozen minutes, they finally reached a flat area at the bottom and were connected to a now neverending hallway.
Another 10 minutes passed. Severa cages could be seen on the way to their destination.
Even the demon, who had lost all senses of curiosity, could not help but look at the cages with a dead expression.
There were people inside, yet, they weren't all demons.
Some were, but there were humans, elves, beastkin, and many more.
There were even a few tiny cages with fairies inside, illuminating the place with their warm glow.
Eventually, after a while, they seemed to reach something.
At the end of the hall were two enormous doors almost twice as tall as the burly woman.
The woman pushed on the doors and entered inside, and for the first time in a very long time, the demon widened her eyes.
Demons could be seen everywhere. There were no humans in sight... All of them were demons.
"W-What is this..." The girl asked with a stutter.
"This?" The burly woman before her slowly looked, her eyes shining with a blood-red light.
"This is the rebellion." She smiled as two enormous horns came out of her head.

---Diamond Academy---
Silas was sitting in an empty lecture hall, his eyes locked upon a formula he had written on the board. He had already returned to his emerald hair, so even if someone entered the room, they would recognize him as Game Evergreen, the new student, not Judgement.
It was a chemical formula written up like he would have written it on Earth. He didn't have to worry about anyone seeing it since it was written with English letters, too.
His eyes swept the formula briefly, trying to understand it.
Beside him was a green-haired girl with emerald eyes. She was looking at the board with a sense of confusion, but she already understood that there were quite a few things that Silas must have brought from his previous planet, for example, the writing.
"Can't you just write it in the human tongue?" She asked with slight annoyance.
"I can..." Silas replied before going quite again.
"So?"
"I won't though." He shrugged before looking toward her.
"This whole alchemy thing doesn't make sense." He finally sighed.
"It does. It makes more sense than magic." She raised a brow.
"No it doesn't. The things you use to magic a potion have no reason to create the potion itself. The potion doesn't even have reminents of the chemical features that the objects have. It's like putting a leaf in water and expecting it to create a cake." Silas spoke with slight annoyance.
"Mother said that Gilea helps us."
"We are quite literally breaking the law of physics. We're essentially creating something out of nothing, since that something is coming from something that shouldn't create it."
