Demon King – Chapter 670 – The Sleeping Demon Lord

Since Eiru did not need to listen to the lesson anyway, and to keep her from being disturbed while sleeping, Yuki even set up a tall wall of books on her desk, hiding her entire body behind it.

Aside from the invincible homeroom teacher, the other teachers did not even know that a certain loli had come to class today. Everyone was used to seeing an empty seat left behind by a truant student in one corner of the classroom. As a result, for the entire morning, not a single teacher noticed that there was a soundly sleeping loli lying there.

“You really sleep way too much…”

Yuki glanced over at the sleeping girl from time to time, feeling a bit helpless. Still, having her around did make class feel less boring.

At the same time, he also noticed something was off. Today’s Lu Brat felt a little too quiet and well behaved.

Her faint breathing was still there, and there was no look of pain on her face. If not for those two things, Yuki’s soul would have jumped out of his body already.

But at some point during the lessons, she stopped making any sounds at all. Normally, even when sleeping, she would mumble cutely or smack her lips and make little murmuring noises. Today, she was quiet to an excessive degree. Was her subconscious aware that she was sleeping in a classroom?

Thinking about how some unlucky classmates who snored in their sleep were also unusually quiet when sleeping in class, Yuki did not pursue it further or disturb her. However, as the morning went on, quite a few strange things happened in the classroom.

The computer and projector on the podium suddenly would not turn on, rendering the teachers’ prepared courseware useless. Luckily, since it was close to finals and lessons were mostly review-based, the impact was not too severe.

At first, they thought it was just a computer or projector issue. But when they realized that even the classroom lights would not turn on, like there was a sudden power outage, everyone understood that it was an electrical problem.

After discovering that the neighboring classroom had the same issue, everyone treated it as a simple sudden power outage. But looking at these strange occurrences, Yuki felt an unease he could not shake.

As if responding to his unease, near the end of the school day, a few students tried to secretly check the time on their phones because the wall clock had stopped too. They then discovered that their phones had already run out of power and shut down.

“What the hell, I charged mine fully… anyone got a power bank?”

“What the fuck, what’s going on? My power bank is dead too? I definitely charged it full. Who used it?”

“It’s been in your bag the whole time. Who could have used it?”

“Then where did my battery go? Don’t tell me it got eaten or something.”

Hearing the whispers not far away, Yuki suddenly felt like he had encountered a similar situation before. Frowning, he reached out and gently poked the girl’s cheek beside him. She still had no reaction at all, looking completely knocked out.

“Hey? Lu Brat?”

No matter how thick-skinned he was, as the person who knew Eiru best, Yuki could tell something was wrong now.

“Don’t scare me. Wake up. You’re never this out cold when you sleep…”

Yuki’s voice was not loud, but it still drew the attention of the desks in front and behind. They were all friends who were fairly close to Eiru and Yuki, and this sudden reaction from Yuki clearly meant something was wrong.

“What’s going on?”

“Lu Brat won’t wake up. I don’t know what’s wrong.”

“Try shaking her a bit. See if there’s a problem. If not, worst case we just let her keep sleeping.”

Without hesitation, Ziyu shoved the loli sitting in front of him. He meant it as a prank and a test, but he clearly used too much force and almost pushed her off the desk.

Yuki hurriedly supported Eiru and shot Ziyu a reproachful look. But he quickly had no mind to dwell on it, because even after that shove, the sleeping silver-haired loli still did not wake up.

This was no longer normal sleep. It should be called fainting or loss of consciousness. Reaching that conclusion, everyone grew tense. Forget about class. Waking her up was the priority.

“What’s going on?”

This period was biology class. Noticing the commotion below, the teacher walked down from the podium and was surprised for a moment upon seeing the hidden silver-haired loli.

“Unconscious? Everyone quiet down. You study on your own. I’ll take this student to the infirmary.”

After understanding the situation, the teacher also became nervous, quickly stabilizing the class and preparing to carry the loli to the school infirmary.

Knowing his girlfriend’s special circumstances, Yuki understood that sending her straight to the infirmary might not solve anything and could very likely expose her nonhuman nature.

There was no way he could let the biology teacher take her like this. At the very least, he needed to be there to adapt on the fly and help cover things up. Before he could speak, Qianmeng spoke up for him.

“Teacher, let Li Yuki take her there. Boys are stronger and can get her there faster. And Li Yuki is a close friend who often spends time with Eiru, so it’s more reassuring.”

“Alright. Hurry and take her over. Qianchen, you go with him. I’ll go call your homeroom teacher. No noise. Quiet. Self-study. This has nothing to do with you.”

After shouting a couple of times to quiet the students, the teacher left the classroom to inform the homeroom teacher. Yuki carried the Demon Lord while Qianchen followed, the two of them leaving the classroom one after the other.

“What happened?”

“The teacher said she fainted. It’s winter, so heatstroke shouldn’t be possible, right?”

“Didn’t Eiru say she hadn’t been going to school for a long time because of health reasons? Could it be that kind of illness acting up again?”

As soon as they left, the classroom erupted into heated discussion. And the moment Yuki carried the loli away, with a click, the power suddenly came back on in the classroom. The projector on the podium even turned on by itself.

‘Damn it. Could this be that so-and-so dormant state they mentioned before? When did she empty her magic again? Didn’t I tell her to be careful?’

While rushing toward the infirmary with Eiru in his arms, Yuki connected the strange things from this morning and recalled that situation he had only seen once before. But if that was really the case, taking her to the infirmary would not do much good at all.

Thinking this, Yuki’s steps slowed. In this situation, it seemed like the only thing to do was wait for Eiru to wake up on her own. Going to the infirmary would only increase the risk of exposure.

“What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly slow down? Hurry up and take her there.”

Seeing Yuki slow down, Qianchen, who had been walking beside him, was confused. Your girlfriend is unconscious. Why are you hesitating now?

“It’s nothing. Let’s hurry.”

Yuki replied briefly and picked up his pace again.

The homeroom teacher had already been notified. He would probably head to the infirmary soon as well. Turning back now would not make sense. They could only take it one step at a time once they got there.
