The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

Time flies like a white horse glimpsed through a crack, and the days slip through your fingers like sand, no matter how hard you try to hold on.

Amidst the daily eating, drinking, playing, and enjoying a blissful childhood with the little lolis, Zun-zun turned 12.

12 years!

Do you know how I spent these 12 years? Do you know!?

Looking back, my childhood was incredibly fulfilling, like soaking in a honey pot every day.

But just as crops break through the soil from their seeds during the sowing season and move towards the growing season, he also transitioned from childhood to adolescence. So, even if he was unwilling, he had to enter the only school in the Crimson Demon Village.

— Crimson Prison.

Neither crimson nor a prison.

Just an ordinary elementary school.

At the appropriate age, the children of the Crimson Demon Village enter this school to learn general knowledge. At the same time, they will receive the upper-level magician profession known as [Archmage] and then begin to cultivate magic.

The Crimson Demons, who are naturally intelligent and magically gifted, generally stay in school to cultivate until they learn magic.

Here, learning magic is equivalent to graduation.

Depending on the magic you want to learn, the required skill points also vary. The more powerful the magic, the more skill points are needed to learn it.

Upper-level magic is a skill that all magicians aspire to. Once learned, you can use various powerful spells. At the same time, in the Crimson Demon Village, learning this skill is regarded as being able to stand alone.

For example, his sister, who successfully learned the upper-level magic Purgatory two years ago and graduated with honors as the top student.

Zun-zun wants to emulate his sister and also graduate with honors as the top student!

He thought his life would continue to be smooth sailing, but now he has encountered a rival.

"Zun-zun, why are you here?"

Megumin held the wizard's hat that he had given her the year before last, her red eyes filled with vigilance, as if she were wary of the beautiful young boy in front of her.

Zun-zun's lips curled up slightly, and with a height a head taller than her, he looked down at the little loli with an arrogant but incredibly handsome smile.

"Are you concerned that I'm here?"

"Damn it! He even chased me here… Sticking to me so closely! But, I won't give in! Watch, I will definitely learn the ultimate magic—Explosion Magic—and use it to defeat you!"

"Heh heh heh, I'll be waiting. But before that, I must remind you that few people have learned Explosion Magic. Can you do it?"

The two faced each other sharply at the school gate.

Yunyun couldn't help but say when she saw this scene: "Megumin, what are you talking about? Zun-zun is also 12 years old like us. It's only natural that he would enroll."

"Yunyun, you're such a weirdo."

"Eh? Eh? Eh?"

Megumin clicked her tongue in displeasure, but Yunyun didn't understand where she had gone wrong. Even now, she still didn't understand the Crimson Demons' chuunibyou improvised performances.

"Megumin, you shouldn't have forgotten our bet from yesterday, right?"

"To see whose adventurer card stats are higher? … Hmph, of course I haven't forgotten!"

The first step to becoming a student is not to attend the opening ceremony, but to first obtain an adventurer card and choose a profession.

Yesterday, the three of them were filled with anticipation and trepidation about entering school, and somehow, during their conversation, they got sidetracked onto card stats.

The standard for choosing a profession in Konosuba only looks at aptitude. If the aptitude meets the standard, you can choose the corresponding profession. If the aptitude does not meet the standard, you can only choose a lower-level profession or simply choose another profession. But if the aptitude for all professions does not meet the standard, you can only choose the novice profession—that is, an ordinary adventurer.

"Yunyun, you come too. Let's use today's bento as a bet. If I lose, I'll give you a shoulder massage and leg rub. What's wrong, are you afraid? You're the daughter of the noble clan leader, are you afraid of losing?"

"Don't always use that to provoke me! Fine, fine! Since we're comparing this, then I won't lose either!"

Although Yunyun understood that this was a provocation, she still agreed.

They arrived at the school's gymnasium.

They will activate their adventurer cards here, and then the opening ceremony will be held here.

"Speaking of which, there are surprisingly few people."

"It's a small village after all."

There were very few students in the gymnasium, about 20 or so, with a male-to-female ratio of about 1:1. Yet the clan leader is always talking about a bumper crop.

"Next."

Seeing the position in front of him vacant, Zun-zun took a step forward and activated his profession card on the strangely shaped instrument.

The light brewed for a long time before disappearing.

If it were outside, it would definitely shock people's jaws, but in the Crimson Demon Village, it is normal. However, Zun-zun still noticed that he took a little longer than others.

"You… your magic power is really vast. I haven't seen so much magic power in a long time, even a little more than that little girl just now."

Even the teacher who helped him measure couldn't help but exclaim softly.

Moreover, after Zun-zun received his card, he discovered that not only could he choose Archmage, but also almost all upper-level professions such as Crusader Knight, Sword Master, High Priest, Fighting Master, etc. This should be the benefit brought by the Body of God.

But he still casually chose Archmage.

There's no other reason. The rules of the Crimson Demon Village are that you can't enroll if you don't choose [Archmage], and you can't enjoy any benefits.

Only those who have gone to school know how many benefits students can enjoy.

Not to mention meal subsidies and transportation subsidies, but the expensive laboratories outside that make people vomit blood can be used casually as long as you apply to the school. There are also rich educational resources where you can ask teachers for answers at any time, which is enviable.

The school in the Crimson Demon Village is the same.

A bottle of skill point potion that costs tens of millions of Eris outside can be easily obtained in the school as long as you perform well.

Speaking of skill points…

Zun-zun looked at the adventurer card in his hand. At the top was Level 1, and below the level was the number of skill points: 30.

The newest and fastest novels are at 69shu.com!

30?

Zun-zun blinked.

Beginner magic requires 5 skill points, intermediate magic requires 10 skill points, advanced magic requires 30 skill points, and explosion magic requires 50 points!

In other words, if he wanted to, he could completely learn advanced magic and graduate on the spot.

No, that would be too stupid.

Just as he said, learning magic in school is equivalent to graduating. But relatively speaking, not learning magic means you can freeload forever. For example, Megumin saves up 50 skill points to learn Explosion Magic before graduating.

Who wouldn't freeload if they could!?

But, only 30 points…

Thinking of the idiot goddess Aqua, she is a god-like person who can choose the upper-level profession of High Priest, learn all the skills, and still have extra skill points to learn talent skills.

Compared to her, I am still far behind.

"Zun-zun! Let's compare stats!"

The little loli Megumin walked over with her head held high, holding a bento box in her hand, with Yunyun following behind her aggrievedly.

Without thinking, I knew Megumin must have won.

"Cle-Clearly, whether it's strength, stamina, or agility, I'm higher, but Megumin said… even if only my magic power is higher than yours, it means I won…"

Yunyun wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Megumin, apart from magic, you really don't have any outstanding features."

Zun-zun looked at Megumin's chest.

Even though she can eat her fill, Megumin's chest still doesn't have any undulation, so flat that it's pitiful.

The little loli's eyes revealed danger.

"What do you want to say? Tell me. If you want to pick a fight, I accept! Crimson Demons must respond to all challenges!"

"I don't want to. Okay, aren't you going to compare stats? Come."

Zun-zun peeled off the little loli who was climbing on him and showed her his adventurer card.

"Hmph, then you're sure to lose! My teacher said that my magic power is the strongest he's ever seen!"

"Only before meeting me."

"Wh-What—!?"

When comparing the stats of both parties, the little loli was immediately dumbfounded.

If we were to describe it with a panel, then apart from the A in magic power, all the rest of the little loli's stamina, strength, agility, and endurance were the lowest, with only luck being the same as ordinary people.

But Zun-zun is a real 6A panel!

"So-So amazing."

Yunyun couldn't help but exclaim.

Zun-zun looked at the dumbfounded little loli and laughed loudly.

"—Life, is as easy as pie!"
