Chapter 41: Chapter 41: The days before the disaster (1)
It was evening now. Lucifer had finished his subject selection procedure and received a Smartwatch that he could use at school.
To put it simply, a Smart Watch was like a phone but smaller and more convenient. A Smart Watch could also be used to save credits like a credit card, view class results, and read school news.
After finishing everything, Lucifer returned to his room. This room was much smaller than his room at the mayor's house, but at least it was still comfortable and clean. That was more than enough for Lucifer.
Lucifer tiredly laid down on the bed right after entering the room. Lucifer had more worries than he thought.
First was his relationship with Clide and Hikaru. It seemed that today, Lucifer and Hikaru had become friends, but in return, he became the one being bullied by Clide instead of Adam.
But perhaps that was also relatively okay for Lucifer because both Lucifer and Hikaru being beaten together would actually cause less pain for both of them. It could be understood that if Clide normally used 100% of his power to torture Hikaru, now he would only use 50% on Lucifer and 50% on Hikaru.
Furthermore, in the plot, Adam's studies had fallen behind quite a bit after he became the target of bullying. Because of that, Adam's time at the academy was almost useless.
In addition, Lucifer would also have his resistance increased after being beaten by Clide. That way, Lucifer could become closer to Hikaru, have his resistance increased, and make Adam stronger.
Reverse thinking was really scary.
The second thing that made Lucifer worried was the relationship between him and Luna. To be honest, Lucifer didn't understand what their relationship was. He only knew that he didn't want to have anything to do with her or any of the main characters.
Lastly, it was Adam. Through today's incident, Lucifer and Adam would probably become closer, which was relatively good for Lucifer because he would become friends with the strongest person, but the plot would also change a lot.
Maybe in just a few years or a few months, Lucifer would completely lose track of the future. He would have to survive on his own in this harsh world without any information about the future.
'So tired...'
Thinking too much had overloaded Lucifer's brain, so Lucifer decided to go to sleep without taking a shower.

The next morning, Lucifer woke up very early to go to the gym in Atlas Academy, which was of course completely free. This gym had even more equipment than a normal gym.
It was also here that Lucifer caught Adam working out. It seemed that Adam had the same thought as Lucifer that the earlier he arrived, the emptier the gym would be.
Lucifer waited for Adam to finish his set before starting a conversation:
"Hi."
Adam was a little surprised to see Lucifer, but then he smiled brightly:
"Hi! What are you training for today, Lucifer?"
"Chest."
"Chest? What a coincidence, I was planning to train my chest today too. How about we train together!"
It was obvious that Adam was lying because Lucifer had just seen him doing shoulder presses a few seconds ago. But of course, Lucifer didn't care much about it and agreed to let Adam train with him.
Having a friend to train with was great, but since Lucifer was much weaker than Adam, Adam had to constantly change the weights. However, it didn't seem to bother Adam much.
'What a great hero.'

After finishing his training, Adam asked Lucifer to have breakfast together, and of course he agreed since Lucifer was starving too.
What Lucifer didn't expect was that he would have breakfast with Lucian. It seemed that Adam had quickly become friends with Lucian just like in the novel.

After that, Lucifer returned to his room, took a quick shower, and moved to the first class, which was the survival class.
As Lucifer had expected, there were no students in the survival class other than him and Sierra.
'Huh? Why is Sierra here?'
Apart from the two of them, there was a person lying face down on the desk. This person had a beard and mustache growing all over his face, looking like an old man in his 30s but was actually only 21 years old.
"Teacher, can you please teach us now?"
Only when he heard Sierra's voice did the teacher come to his senses, and then, he showed an expression of joy so great that he was about to cry.
"This is amazing! This class has never had more than one student, yet now there are two of you here? Can you tell me why you chose this subject?"
"The reason I chose this subject is because I heard that Lucifer also studies it..."
While Sierra was in the middle of speaking, Lucifer immediately covered the girl's mouth. If she continued to answer like that, the teacher would become disappointed again like before.
"The reason we chose this subject is because we believe that no matter how strong we are, if we don't know basic survival skills like making a fire, finding a water source, filtering water, and setting up camp, we can still die!"
Of course, that was just one of the reasons why Lucifer chose this class. The other reason was that Lucifer knew that their midterm exam would be held on an island filled with low-level monsters, and their goal was to survive as long as possible.
In order to get good grades, Lucifer would need to learn basic survival skills so that he could survive on that island as long as possible.
After receiving Lucifer's answer, the teacher immediately burst into tears of joy. After he stopped crying, he began to teach Lucifer and Sierra the necessary information to survive in nature.
Although he had the appearance of an unemployed person, the quality of his teaching was unexpectedly good.

Lucifer's next class was monster extermination. Here, he would be studying with Adam, Lucian, and Hikaru. Lucifer immediately took Hikaru's hand to join Adam.
While the group was chatting, Lucifer suddenly felt as if someone was glaring at him from behind. Lucifer immediately turned back, there, Luna was staring at him.
Lucifer didn't know what to do in this situation so he could only pretend like nothing happened. Luckily, the teacher entered the class right after that.
"Alright everyone, can anyone tell me the difference between monsters and supreme entities?"
Adam was the first to raise his hand, it seemed like he had prepared a lot for this subject:
"Yes sir, monsters are the same as supreme entities but they don't have thoughts. Monsters can range from Beast level to the highest level - Error. Meanwhile, supreme beings will have the ability to think, even surpassing most humans, but they only appear from God to Error level!"
"The answer is very correct!"
"Like Adam said, although monsters and supreme entities are the same species, monsters cannot think while supreme entities can. However, supreme entities that are on the same level as monsters are usually weaker."
"For example, even though they are both Leader level, the supreme entity's strength will be lower than that of a monster, but instead they can think, so you shouldn't underestimate them!"
The class continued peacefully. The purpose of today's class was to disseminate basic information about supreme entities and monsters.
