The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy-Chapter 253 (3) - The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy
“Mr. Samuel.”
“Why are you calling me?”
I looked at Samuel, who was lying languidly on the bed.
It was early morning, and there was still time before we had to go to Sytan.
So, I made a suggestion to Samuel.
“Game, shall we play?”
“Game?”
“Yes. A game.”
“……What kind of game do you want to play in the morning? Why don't you just get some more sleep?”
“I'm wide awake now. So, are you in or out?”
“I'm out. I'm tired.”
Samuel cut me off immediately and turned over.
His actions made me frown involuntarily.
I didn't want to do this, but I had no choice.
“Aren't you going to prepare for the midterm exams?”
Flinch-.
At the mention of the midterm exams, Samuel's body flinched.
And then he suddenly turned his head to look at me.
“Why are you suddenly talking about the midterm exams?”
“Well, I was going to help you with the midterms if you would play with me.”
“You're a funny guy. You were copying my answers for the theory exam just a while ago.”
Ah, come to think of it, that's right.
It was a meaningless offer to Samuel.
However.

“Wouldn't the Familiar exam be different?”
The Familiar class, which wasn't included in the first semester, became mandatory from the second semester.
But Samuel showed the worst possible affinity for Familiars.
“……That's ridiculous. How can you help me?”
“Haha, who do you think I am?”
“Who are you?”
As I put my hand on my forehead and struck a sensual pose, Samuel frowned and asked in disbelief.
“I'm the Familiar Master, aren't I?”
“Familiar Master?”
“Yes, that's right.”
That's right.
I was truly perfect when it came to handling Familiars.
Even Instructor Tammy acknowledged me, so that says it all.
I smiled and took out Gu Poison and Sijo from my pocket.
- Beep beep?
- …….
Gu Poison and Sijo were making puzzled expressions, as if wondering why they were summoned when it wasn't mealtime.
Of course, I didn't call them out to feed them.
It was to show Samuel the credibility of my words.
“As you can see, I can handle Familiars very well. But what about you, Samuel? Even the mighty Gu Poison is afraid of you and won't come near you, and you're always fighting with Sijo, aren't you?” ȓ𝒶ŊȏʙÈS̩
Flinch-.
Samuel trembled as if his weak spot had been attacked.
That's right.
Samuel had ‘zero’ talent for Familiars.
“……So, what do you want me to do?”
Finally, Samuel sighed deeply and sat up on the bed, as if he was willing to at least listen to me.
It seems he's finally ready to listen.
“The game I'm proposing is a thumb war. A very special thumb war.”
“Thumb war? You're offering me such a childish game as a game?”
“Of course not. That's why it's a very special thumb war. We're going to make our thumbs actually fight.”
“……What are you talking about?”
Samuel frowned, as if he didn't understand what I was saying at all.
But it will be quite fun.
Because the thumb war I created is not a typical thumb war.
Thumb war.
Literally, a game where thumbs fight.
It's a game you probably played a lot as a child.
A game where you fight with your thumbs and it ends when you subdue your opponent's thumb.
But we're not going to play that kind of thumb war.
“Let's use magic.”
“Magic?”
“Yes, we use magic only with our thumbs, and the game ends when one thumb defeats the other.”
“……What if someone's thumb gets cut off?”
“Well, are you chicken?”
“……Alright, let's have a death match today.”
“I'm just kidding. Of course, there are rules.”
“Rules?”
I answered with a smile.
“Yes, the game ends as soon as the magic touches the opponent's thumb. No need to actually cut it off or anything.”
Twitch-.
Samuel frowned.
“You're adding strange rules.”
“Because we could really get hurt otherwise.”
“……That doesn't seem to be the only reason.”
He's sharp as always.
I chuckled.
Then Samuel spoke as if he understood.
“Defensive magic and offensive magic. You want to see if you can cast them simultaneously, don't you?”
I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Correct.”
And,
Flick, flick-.
I wiggled my thumb, provoking Samuel.
“I'll let you go first.”
“Huh.”
To let him go first in a magic duel.
My attitude, clearly treating him as an inferior, made the veins on Samuel's forehead throb.
Good, this means it's all set.
As I expected,
“Today will be the memorial day of your thumb.”
Samuel started burning like a fire fueled by oil.
