Chapter 43: Rachel (2/2)

”S-so it was true that he does hurt students...” Rachel murmured as she looked at Lucifer.

Right, Rachel didn't believe it at first that Professor Malbath indeed hurts students, but...now that the proof is right in front of her, Rachel was forced to believe it.

However, Rachel stopped cowering in fear right then and there as she remembered something.

She remembered why she was chosen to be with the latecomers for the exam, and that was...

”Ah! I forgot about it! I'm supposed to heal this guy so that we would be able to take the exam anytime Professor Malbath calls us.”

Rachel was a demon who could use healing magic. And that was why Professor Malbath made her stay in this place.

She would be the one to heal Lucifer back to health so that they would be able to take the exam any moment now.

After all, they were already late. Being late just because Lucifer was knocked out unconscious by a professor was unforgivable.

If you think about how Professor Malbath set this up, he was actually considerate enough to think about his students.

Well, it was just because it would be unforgivable for Asgo and Lucifer to be late once more to the exam.

”So...where exactly is his injury? This Lucis guy...” Rachel said as she whipped her head towards Asgo.

Rachel couldn't see any signs of injury on Lucifer's body at all. That was why she turned to Asgo for help.

After all, Asgo would be the one to know where was the injury of Lucifer.

He was the one who was present on the site when Professor Malbath knocked Lucifer out.

However, it seems that...Asgo was thinking something else as he hesitated slightly.

This was the first time that Asgo actually hesitated over something, but there was a proper reason for it.

Asgo knew that Lucifer was just pretending, and it was because he knew that he was hesitating.

He was hesitating to tell of where Lucifer's injury was. After all, there would be none since Lucifer was just pretending.

And since...it seems like Rachel was indeed a demon who could use healing magic, that was one more reason to hesitate.

After all, that means that Rachel would know where to look to confirm if Lucifer did have any injuries.

And since Lucifer was just pretending, it was clear as day that there would be no injury to heal.

That was why Asgo was hesitating, but...he soon calmed down as he remembered the feat that came from Lucifer.

It was weird as hell that he was able to calm down due to fear, but that was only normal.

After all, Lucifer already said that Asgo should just act normal.

'Right, I should just act normal...and he would do the rest.' Asgo thought as he finally made up his mind.

”Yeah, I think it's in his right shoulder. Professor Malbath was too fast for me to see where he struck down Lucis, so I'm not quite sure about it.”

”However, since this guy was stuck on the ground for some time, I think it is somewhere on the shoulder or the head.”

Asgo said as he tried to give as many details as possible without sounding suspicious.

He literally went all in with the bet known as Lucifer as everything would come crumbling down if Rachel found out the truth.

Anyway, when Rachel heard what Asgo said, she immediately bent her knees near Lucifer's head.

After all, that was the place where Asgo just said. It was then that Rachel brought up her hands to Lucifer's head.

She then...moved her hands without looking at Lucifer's head. It was quite amazing as she didn't need to see it to know it.

She just needed to feel the injury, and she would be able to do the healing magic.

That was why...Rachel was combing through Lucifer's hair right now very slowly.

It was so slow that Asgo forgot to breathe as this was a crucial moment for him...no, for his master.

Of course, Lucifer knew that very well as he thought, 'That old coot...he's already assessing me.'

Right, Lucifer knew that Professor Malbath was already evaluating him with this...Rachel.

Although it was just right for Professor Malbath to heal Lucifer after knocking him out unconscious, this move...was just dirty.

After all, Rachel would be able to find out how much Professor Malbath's strike did damage Lucifer.

Of course, if Rachel snitched everything she found out to Professor Malbath, it was easy to guess what would happen next.

That was why...this move was dirty.

At least, it was, for Lucifer.

'This is bad...' Lucifer thought as he felt his head being massaged by a pretty woman.
