— Arrogant, greedy — he'd kill for every inch of territory in the room, unsociable. Frankly, I haven't noticed anything that would set him apart from other people with that kind of character. He doesn't draw pentagrams on the floor or sacrifice chickens.
-- Hmm. I'm actually more interested in whether he has any connections outside the academy — whether he writes letters or receives anything himself, and also — how often he's neither in the room nor in class. That would be a red flag — if he was hanging around somewhere unknown, and Risha knows what he was doing there. And that's what I wanted to say — let's keep him in sight. Because that's how all sorts of bad things happen, all sorts of things, no one sees it, and then something happens, and only a corpse is left... Okay, what bothers me the most... Look, you demon, you know perfectly well that you're not welcome in civilized society, but you go there anyway, so that people look at you like you're some kind of monster, and it's not just that he's alien and incomprehensible to us, we're the same to him. Why doesn't he live among his own kind, like other demons? People to people, demons to demons, and so on. Why is he here? For education — nonsense, it won't save him among people, and in his smoky, impoverished Aeolia — it's useless. Maybe to somehow rehabilitate his people, to prove that demons aren't such wild creatures? That's nonsense too, because he behaves like a complete monster. That leaves two options: either he just enjoys it when everyone looks at him like he's garbage, and he came here just to annoy people and assert himself in Competitive events, or... someone specifically invited him. But why? That's what's strange here.
Fortis played with his cheek for a moment, took a sip from his cup, and continued.
— So... sometimes it seems to me that this is just a test for us, to see how long it takes for someone to finally kill him. But no. And although, may Dante forgive me, I won't cry when Aliduma is found somewhere in an alley with his head bashed in, for now we need to observe, not provoke ourselves. If he starts to act up, and he already is, but that's just the beginning — then... well, then we'll take measures. But for now — we keep a close watch, and we live by the principle of mutual responsibility. I'm sure that in the end we'll clash, we won't get along, but we don't need to have everything blamed on one of us later. And to avoid that, we need to come to an agreement. If a demon harms someone, everyone should be aware of it, if a demon tries to trick us, we all say the same thing, and so on. You can laugh, but it's clear that he's in a special position, and the headmistress is already looking at us suspiciously. Not to mention that he's a huge demon, Risha, take care of him, and no one knows what he'll come up with tomorrow. What do we even know about them, about demons? We know nothing, no one knows how their brains work, and it could easily be like with Carvia — they let a wolf in sheep's clothing, everything is "fine" for the first month, and then — oh dear, what a tragedy, we didn't pay attention, oops.
