The Demon Emperor frowned slightly. It seemed that world overlords were rather special after all.
Did that mean overlords served other purposes as well?
Regardless, they had finally gained admission, which meant they could now move into the academy dormitories.
After the two instructors conducting the examination left, Verus looked at the delighted Demon Emperor with a frown. "They're recruiting overlords again. What a headache."
Demon Emperor Daochen looked at him in puzzlement. "What's wrong? Is enrolling as an overlord different from enrolling as an ordinary student?"
Verus nodded. "I don't know why, but every time the Divine Academy recruits overlords, the casualty rate among that batch of students is extraordinarily high. It most likely means war is coming."
"The Divine Academy always has slots for field training. If they're deliberately recruiting overlords, they may well be recruiting cannon fodder to carry out missions for the academy on the battlefield."
"That isn't very kind to the students. After all, a student's primary duty is to study. You won't have all that long to study here, so wasting time on the battlefield is terribly inappropriate."
The Demon Emperor frowned. "I see, but there's nothing we can do! We've already been admitted. It seems we can't simply refuse to go!"
Verus nodded helplessly. "You don't need to worry too much. The casualty rate on the battlefield isn't a hundred percent, after all. Some people do make it back alive."
"As long as you finish your missions quickly, they won't get in the way of your studies."
"Besides, they won't send you to the battlefield right away. You'll at least get a few hundred years of study first. Settle in for now. After all, it's an academy, not an army."
"I wonder where trouble has broken out for them to recruit overlords again."
