Chapter 37: Chapter 36 - Detention Center

The class swiftly ended after that, and word of Caliste’s demonstration quickly spread within the academy. However, the one who was most shocked was Fleur. She couldn’t believe that Caliste had done what he had done!

"Why didn’t you just listen to him?"

"Because he disturbed me."

"But did you really have to go that far? You made him lose all his reputation. Imagine if he talks to other professors about you. It could get you in trouble, especially since we refused everyone’s discipleship. Professors already hate us, so we should act carefully around them, don’t you think?"

Caliste shrugged. "They can hate me if they want. It doesn’t change anything in my life. I’ll continue to do what I want, and nothing will ever change that—not even angry professors."

They were currently on their way to detention class, something they would have to attend for the rest of the year because of the trouble they had caused on the first day.

Caliste thought of it as a bother at first, but ever since he had learned that the one in charge of it was a Barbarian, he had gotten a lot more motivation to go there.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Fleur asked, observing Caliste’s face.

"No reason, just past memories."

Fleur found that answer weird, but she kept her mouth shut.

"By the way..." She blushed slightly. "About yesterday, we can forget about it if you want..."

"Why would I want to forget that night? It was great, don’t you think?"

Caliste smirked as he wrapped his hand around her waist and placed his hand over her ass without a care in the world.

He watched as Fleur’s face became redder with each passing second.

"T-That’s true... I just thought that maybe you hadn’t liked it. Maybe I had done wrong. You know... since it was my first time."

"Don’t worry, you were perfect."

Fleur blushed even more as she instinctively got closer to Caliste’s shoulder, letting her head rest on it. Those words of confirmation were all that she needed to lose the slight awkwardness between the two of them.

A few minutes passed, and they had finally arrived at the detention center.

On the way, not many words had been exchanged between the two lovebirds. They let their actions talk instead, as Caliste hadn’t shied away from touching Fleur whenever and wherever he wished. However, Fleur seemed to like that boldness, as she always kept her mouth shut, smiling at him awkwardly every time he did so.

Some people in the hallways had also taken notice of how close Fleur and Caliste had gotten in such a short amount of time, and rumors had already begun spreading within the Academy.

It hadn’t taken long for Caliste’s name to spread around the Demonic Academy.

After all, he had refused discipleship, humiliated a professor, and he was now having a relationship with Fleur, the second strongest first-year at school.

And he had managed all that in only two days. It was only a matter of time until he did a lot more, and the worst thing about it was that people could only guess his next move because of how unpredictable he was.

—Knock!

—Knock!

Caliste knocked twice on the half-broken door in front of him with a slight look of disdain.

The detention center didn’t seem to be in the best condition. It looked like it had never been touched since its creation.

"It must be the newbies! Someone open the door!" A loud voice echoed from inside.

—Click!

Then, within a few seconds, the door was wide open.

The person who opened the door had dark circles under his eyes, clearly lacking sleep; he also looked quite depressed and devoid of energy.

"Welcome to Hell..." he muttered as he turned around and returned to his seat.

Both Caliste and Fleur took a step inside the room and looked around to see who would be with them, and the lineup definitely seemed quite strange at a glance.

"Welcome to the detention center!" Albert Siglius said with a big smile. "I hope you enjoy your stay here! We are a great group, aren’t we, everyone?"

"Yes..."

They all muttered on their own with slight frowns.

Caliste wasn’t sure what was happening inside here, but everyone seemed half-dead. Let’s just say that it did not give the best impression to newcomers.

"Let’s play a game. Gather around in a circle!" Albert suddenly said as everyone began sighing left and right.

No one even moved after a few seconds.

"I said." This time his tone was icier and didn’t leave room for anyone to even sigh. "Make a circle."

There was no hesitation; everyone grabbed their chairs, pushed out the desks in the way, and made a perfect circle, leaving two empty seats next to each other for both Caliste and Fleur.

"Uh... thank you?" Fleur said as she headed for her seat.

Excluding them and the professor, there were six other people in the detention center, all of them older than they were.

"The game is simple."

Albert took out a red ball from under his desk and held it up for everyone to see.

"When you hold onto this ball, you need to introduce yourself and say one fun fact about yourself. That way, the newcomers will be able to get closer to all of you. I’ll start," Albert said with a lot of enthusiasm.

Caliste was surprised by how easygoing he looked, as this was completely different behavior from when Albert had knocked on his door.

"My name is Albert Siglius. I’m the one in charge of this place, and a fun fact about me..." He thought for a moment before smiling. "I got one! When I was five years old, I managed to kill a boar with my bare hands while being blindfolded."

Albert immediately threw the ball to someone else as everyone was still trying to process the words that had just come out of his mouth.
