As I stood looking at the scene before me, I sigh.

“Haa…. Why am I here…”

A couple weeks ago, while out on a mission I had received a message from my teacher.

Yo Jung Woo ya, the time for you to repay me has come~! Come to London in 3 weeks and attend my school okay~? See ya then~!

I had tried to reply back to her, retorting my teacher but when I tried to email her back, it said that the email didn’t exist… Haa, as always, my teacher is a difficult one to handle, always doing what she wants. I considered a moment whether I should ignore her, but then painful memories of the past filled my head of the Devil Reincarnate which is my teacher…..If I didn’t listen to her, she would surely make sure that I wish I was rather dead! While shuddering at that thought, I finished my mission and headed back to Headquarters to pack and begin my trek to London. And now here I was looking at the city from a hill.

London had changed a lot during the past 10 years, since the Yokai had invaded our world. During the invasion on July 15th 2022, many countries had fallen and London had been overrun. During humanity’s desperate struggle, they remade London and various other locations in Europe into academy cities that were created to train the “Niflheims”

Niflheims, these were beings that had been found through desperate research by the surviving humanity that could fight against the yokai as the modern weapons back then did no damage to them. Niflheims were humans that could form contracts with monsters or mythical creatures. With making a contract, the Niflheim could create weapons that had the power to fight back against the yokai.

And in front of me was one of the most prestigious out of the 6, Olympus Academy who’s headmistress was my devil reincarnated teacher. Even though you could still see the damage from the invasion 10 years ago with the abandoned and destroyed buildings all around, in the middle now was a very advanced looking area where the school was located. The survivors hadn’t even saved a penny when they had created these 7 academies as they were humanity’s only hope of survival. It was truly awe-inspiring to see the broken and abandoned building that had remnants of the past battle on the outer layer with the new advance looking buildings in the center. It looked as if you were seeing the evolution and advancement of our history.

Sighing once more, I go down the hill and make my way across the bridge to the academy. At the entrance, several military personnel and equipment were placed throughout, providing security. While I was approaching, one of the guards came forward and shouted.

“HALT!! NO AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ARE ALLOWED IN THIS AREA!! SHOW US YOUR IDENTIFICATION!!”

I head closer to the guard that came out and handed the paperwork over. The guard takes the paperwork and inspects it. While reading through it, his eyes bulge wide and he pales before hurriedly standing at attention and saluting.

“CAPTAIN YIM JUNG WOO! I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT RECOGNIZING YOU IMMEDIATELY SIR!!”

While massaging my forehead with my left hand, I just wave my right hand and answer him

“Haa, at ease at ease, lieutenant (From now on LT). I didn’t come here as an officer, but as a student to Olympus Academy so while I’m here I am not a captain so relax~ relax~”

The LT opens his eyes even more with a look of shock before finally relaxing.

“Understood, Yim Jung Woo, you may pass. OI EVERYONE! LET THE GUY HERE PASS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY CHECKS!”

“”“”“YES LIEUTENANT!!”””””

While I was starting to pass the bridge, I heard whispers behind me.

“Sir, just who was that guy?”

“Well, it’s not that surprising that you don’t know Staff Sergeant (From now on SSG), as it is Top Secret information. Have you heard about that famous company named Leviathon?”

“Ehh?!?! That special force company that always handles the ranked S and above monsters?!”

“That exact one, that boy right there is Captain (From now on CPT) Yim Jung Woo, the commander of that very squad”

Just why are you blurting out Top Secret information! As I’m thinking of going back and retorting the LT, I remember right now I’m not in the military and just go on. Haa, words so spread quickly even though our missions are supposed to Top Secret…. While sighing I head into the academy. The Academy was truly splendid, even to me who had traveled all around the world on missions.

The academy had several buildings on the campus. There were some that were looked like modernized towers from the medieval age and reached at least a hundred meters into the air. There were also different glass buildings that went up to by what seemed ten floors. While trying to figure out where exactly that old hag of a teacher was, I suddenly run see a girl wearing a uniform run toward my way. Thinking I could ask her for directions, I call out to her.

“Excuse me miss! Could you please guide me to…”

While I was calling out to her, I noticed that even though she was quickly heading towards me, she didn’t slow down. Panickingly slighty as it looked she would run into me, I quickly take evasive actions moving left so that she would just pass by. Unfortunately that was the wrong thing to do as the girl seemed to have the same thought as me and tried to avoid me by going right.

“Eh?!”

Right before we ran into each other, she let out a weird sound. Suddenly my head is facing the sky as the impact had made me fall backwards. Groaning slightly, I feel a soft sensation in my right hand.

“Hm… just what is this elastic feeling?”

While trying to figure out what the feeling was, I grab and squeeze it trying to find out. At that moment I notice the girl’s face as gone stiff and become red. Suddenly having a bad feeling, I look to see what my hand was grabbing. Yep, I knew that my bad feeling was right…

“Eh?!?! Eh!!!! JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING! PERVERT!!!KYAAAAHHH”

The girl immediately stood up and took some distance from me. Quickly standing up myself, I tried to explain myself.

“Wait just a second!! You’re the one who ran into me! I was just trying to brace myself when you ran into me!”

“Ok….. let say that was true. But why did you start squeezing?!?!”

Shit…. I was afraid she’d bring that up….

“Um….. It was because it was a strange feeling?”

Due to the loud noises, a crowd had started to gather around us.

“Hey, isn’t that the Queen of Destruction?”

“Just who is that guy?”

“I think he’s a freshman, look he’s young and doesn’t have a uniform on. Only students and teachers are allowed in here.”

“Haa, how pitiful. His first day and already getting on the bad side of the Queen of Destruction….”

“Hopefully he doesn’t fry him that badly…”

The students surrounding us started to murmur scary sounding stuff!!

“….YOU PERVERT!!! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!!!”

Ehh?? A duel?!?!
