Magic!

Martha hesitated again and again and asked:

"Excuse me, are you the Demon King?"

"No." The boy replied matter-of-factly.

"Ah?" Martha and the two red-robed officiants said in unison.

"then who are you?"

Russell, Subway, the old man on the ground, and Nocturne who poked his head out of his dimensional pocket again also saw this scene.

"Who is this?" Russell looked confused.

"Who is this?" Subway looked confused.

"Woooo?" Nocturne looked confused.

"Duncan!" The old man recognized his genius friend who had disappeared that year. He burst into tears and shouted, and his pale hair seemed to have a little more luster.

"Mr. Principal!" Mr. Dragon, the Sphinx, and the sixty-six-headed snake finally broke free, and all 68 heads shouted together.

The boy Duncan, who had changed into a gorgeous tuxedo, flew out of the sealing ring. He ignored the three cultists who looked confused and saw a familiar old man:

"Old man! Are you still in the academy?"

Duncan flew to the old man and hugged him:

"I didn't expect that, old man, you are really an old man now."

"But you haven't gotten any bigger at all." The old man said doubtfully.

Duncan also noticed the bronze badge worn on the old man's chest and the star pattern on it:

"Old man, you have actually been promoted to the second grade?"

"Yes, yes. I finally got my wish in this life." There was a hint of vicissitudes in the old man's smile.

On one side is a gray-haired old man, on the other side is a young and energetic boy, but they seem to be reunited after a long absence, which makes people full of emotions.

"Hello, Duncan, uh, Mr. Principal..." Russell recalled what the three monsters called Duncan and waved to Duncan:

"I'm Russell, and next to me is my roommate Subway. The strange whispers I heard at the sorting ceremony before were probably sent to me quietly by you manipulating the sorting hammer. Well, there's also that strange letter letter."

The voice he remembered that time was exactly the same as Duncan's voice now!

Duncan turned around and shook hands with Russell excitedly:

"Hello, you must be Russell, the protagonist in the prophecy I made. I finally met you. I knew you would come and let me out!"

Subway and Nocturne felt that this matter was getting more and more difficult to understand. Their four eyes were filled with confusion. They leaned over and asked doubtfully:

"Are you really the principal?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?"

Russell recalled the college's description of the principal and asked:

"I heard that, principal, you were exploring another dimension and never came back. You can only rely on extraordinary means to convey your voice to the office, command teachers and students, and take charge of the school's operations."

Duncan sighed: "That's what we claim to the outside world. It would be too shameful if people knew that the principal of the International Unified School of Magic and Supernatural was put under house arrest by his own teacher."

The old man became more and more confused:

"So, Duncan, why did you change from a student to a principal? And why were you sealed?"

"It's a long story, and it's not easy to explain. To put it simply, I was originally the principal, and I used some secret technique to rejuvenate my youth..." Duncan stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, as if it involved something embarrassing. .

The Sphinx added later:

"Back then, in order to show off, Mr. Principal, after rejuvenating, entered the school as a student, pretending that he was a super genius that had not been seen in thousands of years, and mingled with the first-year students to find a sense of superiority.

"This kind of bad behavior has seriously damaged the enthusiasm of many truly gifted students!"

Cough cough cough. Duncan coughed twice.

Russell, Subway, the old man, and Nocturne, who had his head sticking out of his dimensional pocket, all looked at Duncan with expressions that looked wrong.

"So that's what happened. Well, all the clues are connected..." Russell nodded thoughtfully and reorganized the logical relationship of everything.

"Duncan, you are actually such a person..." The old man looked at his former friend with contempt in his muddy old eyes.

"How can you still play like this? The world's top spell caster pretends to be a first-year student. It feels good to think about it. Mr. Principal, you are really my idol!" Subway's eyes shone, showing the excellent character of learning from his predecessors.

“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah for for trouble for me.

The Sphinx ignored Duncan's hint of coughing and continued:

"This is not the only weird thing Mr. Principal did back then. There were also a series of other operations that turned the college upside down and aroused public outrage."

"That was before, before. After coming out of the seal this time, I will definitely restrain myself!" Duncan hurriedly defended himself.

"Later, many teachers and students joined forces and stuffed the principal into the seal. It was said to the outside world that he went to explore other dimensions."

"It was done by the cooperation of dozens of teachers or students from higher education institutions, or it was a sneak attack! Otherwise, who could have done anything to me?" Duncan added details beside him.

Of course, Duncan is not Mr. Principal's real name, but in the field of occultism where no one is willing to reveal their real name, the real name is not that important.

Seeing that Russell had almost explained the cause and effect, he came over and interrupted:

"Mr. Principal, you are so powerful, can you help catch those three cultists of the Red Order of Chaos?"

With that said, Russell pointed at the stairs, where Martha, Black Star, and Blood Moon were just about to leave.

The three of them suddenly turned around and faced Russell, with hatred on their faces!

Russell helplessly spread his hands, showing an innocent look:

"I have already said that the one sealed in the sealing circle on the stone wall is not the Demon King. But you just don't believe it. What can I do?"

Martha was furious, but felt unable to refute.

Her angry eyes looked at her daughter who was taken as a hostage, and asked sternly:

"Where is the seal of the Demon King?"

Russell calmly took out an examination report from the school hospital from his dimensional pocket.

——That was the report of his heart examination in June, which included pictures of the heart X-ray.

"There are obvious traces of the presence of demons in the right ventricle of the patient. The initial diagnosis is that the demon is in a sleeping state. The detected energy level of this entity far exceeds the warning value, and it is speculated that it is a demon of lord or above."

Of course, ordinary heart examination methods cannot detect the demon in Russell's heart, but the school hospital is quite experienced in this area and combines a large number of supernatural witchcraft methods, such as taking pictures on the altar, taking X-rays while dancing, etc. .

After reading the diagnosis, Russell explained:

“Although I still don’t know how it came about, and whether it has anything to do with my abnormal physique and my mental resistance far beyond other people, the Demon King is indeed sleeping in my heart.

“The prophecy says, ‘Russell will eventually awaken the devil in his heart.’ So I will find a time to wake up the Demon King.

"The prophecy results of your sect's prophet guide you to go to the academy to look for traces of the Demon King. This is essentially correct - because I will come to the academy to study. In other words, the Demon King is indeed sealed in the academy.

"In late May, when a large number of abyssal demons descended on the academy, they all ran to the library. It was not because the demon king was sealed underground in the library, but because I happened to be in the library at that time.

"That day I was chased by a Balrog, and I was confused as to why this guy kept following me. Now that I think about it, it might be because it had the highest rank among these demons and the sharpest perception, and it was directly targeting me.

"At that time, based on the second sentence of the prophecy, I vaguely guessed that the Demon King was actually sealed in my heart. Shortly after I woke up in the school hospital, I had a comprehensive heart examination. This suspicion is confirmed!”

After hearing Russell's explanation, Martha, Black Star, Red Moon, and Nocturne felt like they were struck by lightning, as if their world view had collapsed.

It turns out that from the mysterious disappearance of college students, to the seal under the junior college library, to the night of the abyss demon raging after the blood sacrifice ceremony, everything is a shocking mistake!

Martha angrily scolded Russell: "Then why didn't you just say it directly?"

"What if I had told you earlier that you wanted to take out my heart and tear it out? That's why I said that I wanted to sit down and talk." Russell responded in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Now that what I want to say has been said, let me arrest the three of them." Duncan, who looked like a boy in fine clothes, stretched and walked towards Martha and the other three.

"I haven't exercised for a long time. I need to get some exercise."
