Chapter 66
Under certain circumstances, it's possible for a world to acquire a consciousness of its own .
Different from human consciousness, a world's consciousness is formed by the subconscious thoughts of all the living beings of the planet .
Normally, the world did not care if one or two livings beings die, but when something or someone that threatens that safety of all the lives on the planet appears, the world executes self-protection mechanism .
This self-protection mechanism comes in the shape of Heroes .
People with incredible talent, born with heaven-defying luck and a growth speed incomparable to normal humans . They subconsciously follow the guidance of the world to eliminate the source of danger that threatens it .
Most of the time, the source of the danger is a catastrophe or an incredibly powerful individual . Sometimes it's the invasion of a foreign species, other times it's an interdimensional traveler that visits the world .
The world did not care if the source of the danger has good or bad intentions . After all, it did not have a concept of good or evil . Whenever it feels it's in danger, a hero will appear .
In fact, I've been chased by heroes on more than one occasion .
Believe me, heroes are very difficult to kill . Trying to kill someone that is protected by the world is like facing the entire world with the strength of a human .
Moreover, once the hero grows strong enough, it will be guided by the world to face the source of the danger . Even if the source of danger, aka demon king, did not wish to fight the hero, a series of coincidences will occur that will put the hero against the demon king .
Yeah, I also experienced it . Once, my son stole the fiancée of the hero and the hero swore revenge against my family . In the end, we fought and ended destroying half of the world .
Of course, I won .
So, why am I talking about this?
Well, if this girl is a hero, I'm probably the demon king .
I mean, I doubt that something more dangerous than an eternal soul filled with endless knowledge and power had appeared in this world . Of course, there is the possibility that I'm not the demon king, but it's pretty low .
Fortunately, I discovered her early .
I have plenty of experience dealing with heroes . Now that I know of her existence, she will not be of any danger .
… By the way, yes, there are some things even more dangerous than me . You see many things when you live for so long .
I observed the girl for a while and decided to leave a part of my consciousness on her . Different than the little trick I used last night, this time I left a permanent brand on her soul . This technique would hurt my soul a little bit, but it's necessary when facing a hero .
But at that moment, the hero looked towards me .
For an instant, our gazes met . The hero wrinkled her brows and put a suspicious expression . I smiled at her and moved my gaze away immediately .
How perceptive .
Once the hero, Rose, finished speaking, the speeches came to an end .
Daisy and I departed to our classroom . It was pretty close to the main hall, so we arrived in less than two minutes .
Soon, the classroom was filled with students . Most of the students were nobles, but there were a few commoners . Rose was one of the students in this class, but Andrea was assigned to another class .
The students began to chat between them . One of the main reasons why nobles come to this institute is to socialize with other nobles, so most of the talking in the classroom was done by nobles . Of course, some nobles tried to speak to the commoner, though mainly to Rose .
