Demon Nation, Royal Palace.
A cold silence filled the massive throne hall.
The Demon King sat slouched on his obsidian throne, one fist pressed against his cheek, crimson eyes narrowed with boredom turning into irritation. The air around him pulsed with heavy pressure that made even the pillars groan.
He stared at the demon girl kneeling before him.
"So tell me, Garcia." His voice echoed like a slow-burning flame. "Have you identified the human who single-handedly defeated the three elite summoners I sent to create chaos in Macia town?"
Garcia rose slightly, no longer kneeling formally. She stood with one hip cocked, twirling her massive scythe lazily with one hand, dark aura trailing behind it like smoke. A confident smirk curled on her lips.
"Yes, Your Majesty," she said. "The human is a black-haired male. Name: Hazekaya Hazuki. Rank B+."
The Demon King's eyes twitched.
