Time flies, spring goes to autumn.

The air cools and heats up.

Many of the emerald trees in the academy were first dyed crimson, withered into a skeleton, and then rejuvenated and lush green.

It's April of the following year.

In the afternoon, the bright sun shone on the upper floor of the boys' dormitory in the primary school.

In the boys' dormitory, Russell, who had finished a day of second-grade classes, was looking at the book of shadows in his hand, enjoying the warmest sun in the afternoon and the silence that lasted for most of the year.

"I haven't encountered messy events and crises for more than half a year, but I'm a little unaccustomed to it......"

Russell muttered silently as he twisted up a page.

Last August, before the start of the school year, Principal Duncan personally held a ceremony to examine Russell's body and seal his abnormal physique. Russell remembers the scene.

……

"Russell, there is indeed an incongruity of fate in you, as if ...... You don't belong in this world. ”

In the ceremony room of the academy's office building, the little principal, who looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, looked at Russell in the center of the circle, feeling the information transmitted to his mind by the ceremony, with a solemn expression.

"What does it mean to not be of this world?" Russell was slightly taken aback by this reply and said confusedly.

He knew that his constitution might be special enough, but he never expected that he would be an alien, an alien or an otherworldly traveler.

"How do you say it......" Duncan organized the language:

"Let's put it this way, you are like a stone thrown into a pond, out of step with the surrounding numerology and horoscope aura.

"The mere existence of Ling will set off ripples of fate, leading to all kinds of accidents and coincidences, encountering events and contradictions that should not have been bumped into.

"It's not that some kind of spell is causing the distortion, it's that your existence is special in itself. This special may originate from the Demon King who is in your heart, or it may not be related to the Demon King. ”

As he spoke, Duncan asked:

"Russell, are you a descendant of some rare supernatural family? Or, do your ancestors date back to otherworldly beings from a mythical era? ”

Yes? A little consternation and confusion appeared on Russell's face, and he was silent for a long time, but he still shook his head:

"I don't know. I was originally an orphan and was adopted by my current adoptive parents. ”

"That's right." Duncan frowned and asked again, "If you don't mind, can I divinate your blood relatives?"

Russell's abnormal constitution is a very valuable subject for research!

Russell hesitated for a few seconds, many possibilities flashed through his mind, and after confirming that he could accept it psychologically, he immediately nodded:

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Duncan took copper coins, turtle shells, yarrow, crystal balls, astrolabes, water basins and other divination props for Russell in front of him, and carried out divination based on blood inheritance and blood relationship.

All divination results show that Russell's blood relatives do not exist.

It's not that Russell's biological parents are dead.

Rather, it seems that his blood relatives never existed in history!

"This hexagram is really strange."

Duncan scratched his head, and the confidence on his face, which had been "I haven't seen anything", turned into the embarrassment of "I really haven't seen this".

"What are the possibilities for this kind of divination result?" Russell was equally puzzled and asked about the world's best prophetic mage.

Duncan pondered for a moment and said:

"It could mean that you were created out of thin air!"

"What?" Russell had had many conjectures about his anomaly before, but he never expected this to be the possibility.

He thought about the plots of the movies and comics he knew, and asked:

"Like in a lot of stories, an android who sneaked out of some mad scientist or magician's lab?"

"It's just a possibility." Duncan knew that a prophet could not be too categorical.

"What else is possible?" Russell asked.

Duncan proposes another possibility:

"For example, you may not be that special. But you have the Demon King sealed in your heart, and in a sense, you have become one with the Demon King. This leads to some of the divination prophecies directed at you, such as those involving blood relatives, to be changed to the Demon King in your heart. And the anomalous power you have twisted your fate also comes from the demon in your heart. ”

It's really possible...... Russell recalled his knowledge of demons and knew that most demons were not the result of natural birth, but were conceived by the Abyss Plane after absorbing many fallen souls.

And the Demon King obviously meets the point of "not belonging to this world", and there is a high probability that "there is no blood relative".

That way, everything makes sense.

"The question now is - why is there a seal in your heart that has disappeared from the ancient Demon King?" Duncan said.

Duncan made several more divination prophecies on this issue. However, it may be that because of the high level involved, divination is interfered with, and the result is very vague and cannot provide normal information.

"The prophecy spell is really unreliable. It seems that I can only wait for the Demon King to wake up and ask him in person. ”

Duncan shrugged his shoulders and instructed Russell:

"According to estimates, the Demon King will awaken in May next year. When the Demon King is close to waking up, you should be able to feel it easily. Come to me when the time comes, and I will prepare in advance, recruit teachers, and ensure the safety of you and the college.

"Rest assured, the results of the examination show that the Demon King is very weak, and there is no way to recover his original strength for a long time after awakening."

As he spoke, Duncan suddenly said in a tone that stated the facts in a predetermined manner: "The Demon King after awakening will not be detrimental to you and the academy. ”

Russell knew that what the headmaster said had some kind of strange power, and nodded reassuringly.

He then brought the topic back:

"I can twist the abnormal constitution of fate, is it possible to control it?"

Finding a way to control this anomaly was one of the purposes of his coming to the Academy!

"Yes, I'll simply set up a seal. The seal should barely last until the end of the school year, and then it needs to be extended before coming back to me. ”

……

Thinking back to last year's scenes, Russell placed his hand on his left chest.

The heart was throbbing as before, and the demon king in the right ventricle still showed no signs of awakening.

"After the sealing is abnormal and the things encountered are fewer, the upgrade speed is really a lot slower." Russell muttered silently.

Now Russell's strength is a half-step third grade.

He reached late second grade in August last year, and then didn't reach half-step third grade until January this year.

It's April now, but he doesn't even feel a trace of the third-grade level.
