Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The days before the disaster (2)
The next day, Lucifer went to the gym like yesterday, but this time he not only met Adam but also Lucian and Hikaru. After that, Adam invited everyone to train together.
Although having more people made the atmosphere more lively, Lucifer didn't care much about it and focused on training. He needed to increase his strength as soon as possible to prepare for the upcoming event.
Lucifer's first class was fighting humans, in this class, Lucifer learned about what to do when forced to fight humans.
Since coming to this world, Lucifer had to fight many different people and he had to win with difficulty. That was the reason why Lucifer signed up for this class.
Suddenly, Lucifer felt like someone was watching him from behind. Lucifer immediately turned around, there, he saw Luna glaring at him like yesterday.
'Why is she taking this class...'
After that, Lucifer headed to the survival class, and on the way he ran into Sierra, so the two of them headed to the class together.
"What do you think of this survival class?" Sierra asked.
"I recommend you continue taking it, it will definitely be useful for you."
"Really? But I don't think there are many people in this class?"
"Then do you believe me?"
"Of course!"
"Then just continue taking the survival class, at least until the midterms."

That afternoon, after school, Lucifer and Hikaru were called out by Clide to be beaten.
Just as Lucifer had predicted, the damage that Lucifer and Hikaru received was shared, and although the beatings were very painful, at least Lucifer and Hikaru were able to withstand them.
After getting bored, Clide and his gang left. Lucifer watched Clide waking away and thought:
'I'll definitely kill you, so just wait.'
"Are you okay, Lucifer?" Hikaru asked as he struggled to get up.
Unlike Hikaru, Lucifer had been through much worse things than this. Compared to the trials that Lucifer had gone through in the past, getting beaten up was still a light thing.
"I'm fine, luckily that guy only used pure power and not his Ability."

Lucifer stood up and brushed the dirt off his clothes. After that, he and Hikaru returned to the dormitory. The purpose was to make the two of them become closer. On the way, the two of them met Adam who was jogging.
Seeing Hikaru and Lucifer's disheveled appearance, Adam immediately stopped to ask,
"What's wrong? Why are you two so disheveled?"
Before Hikaru could say anything, Lucifer instantly covered his mouth. Lucifer didn't want Adam to know that he and Hikaru were being bullied because with Adam's personality, he probably wouldn't let this slide.
That way, he would be bullied again like in the novel and his time at the academy would be wasted.
Lucifer wanted Adam to get stronger quickly. If Adam got stronger, it would help Lucifer a lot, so he didn't want Adam to know that he and Hikaru were often beaten up.
"It's nothing, we just went to practice."
"Really?" Adam was still a bit doubtful.
"Of course! Well, bye!"
Lucifer pulled Hikaru towards the dormitory immediately. He didn't want to prolong the conversation with Adam.

The normal days passed like that. It was already early October. There was only a week left until the midterm exams.
Currently, all the students were gathered in the main hall to listen to the important announcement from the teacher. Lucifer was 90% sure that the announcement was related to the midterm exams.
The entire main hall was filled with the chatter of the students. Some were excited, while others were worried.
When Lucifer and Hikaru arrived, the main hall was already packed with people. Fortunately, the two of them saw Adam and Lucian standing in a place that wasn't too crowded.
"Hey Hikaru, Lucifer! Come here!"
Without hesitation, Lucifer and Hikaru walked towards Adam and Lucian together.
"Hello." Lucifer said.
"Yeah, but do you know why they gathered all of us here?" Adam asked.
Of course Lucifer knew, but he wasn't stupid enough to answer Adam's question because that would be suspicious. So Lucifer just shook his head, pretending not to know.
Immediately after, all the electricity in the hall was turned off. Only a single light was left on the stage.
Then, a muscular man slowly walked up. It seemed like he was the person that all the students had met during the entrance ceremony.
"Hello everyone!"
His voice was still as loud and clear as last time. Lucifer felt quite lucky that since his position was near the end, he wasn't tortured in the ears like the ones standing near the stage.
"Everyone must be wondering why you were summoned here, so I'll explain everything to you. First of all, the reason you were summoned here is so that I can announce the midterm exam, which will be in a week."
As soon as the words "midterm exam" were heard, the quiet auditorium suddenly became more noisy. Mostly because of anxiety and fear.
"Quiet down! Next, the exam topic is survival. The students will have to survive on an island filled with low-level monsters. The students can also work in groups if they want. The students' goal is to hunt as many monsters as possible, 1 Beast level monster will be awarded 1 point, Giant level monster will be awarded 2 points, Superb level monster will be awarded 3 points! And you can leave anytime!"
As expected, Lucifer had guessed correctly. What the muscular man was saying was exactly the same as what Lucifer had written in his novel. If Lucifer remembered correctly, in this part, the main character's group would be ranked first, so Lucifer should join Adam's group if he wanted to get good results.
"Hey Lucifer." Adam whispered into Lucifer's ear.
"What?"
"Do you want to join our group? My group currently consists of me, Lucian, and Chaewon. If possible, I want you and Hikaru to join."
'Luckily, I was thinking about how to join his group.'
"Okay, Hikaru and I will join your group."
"The students will have 1 week to prepare all the necessary tools to go to the island. More importantly, each student will be given a marble in case of danger. After breaking this marble, the students will be teleported off the island. The teachers will also gather near the shore if any problems arise. Now, please disperse!"
After the announcement was over, all the students walked out of the main hall with worried and panicked expressions. It could be seen that this exam was a surprise to them, but not to Lucifer.
