I am no longer human!

Chapter 22, Seven Crimes Verdict, Round 3: A Mathematics Competition!

The College of Babylon, the College Hall.

Time is slowly passing by.

The food that had been piled high on the two tables gradually became empty, with the food on the right table being noticeably less.

At first, Raphael and Damian ate at about the same speed, and Raphael even ate faster than Damian because his longer arms made it easier for him to grab food.

However, as the two ate more and more food, Raphael's eating speed gradually slowed down, but Damian's speed not only did not decrease, but even increased, thus overtaking him.

"I...I can still hold on..."

At the table on the left, Raphael, struggling to keep his stomach from bursting, tried his best to stuff food into his mouth.

He had completely lost his sense of taste for these delicacies, and was only unconsciously repeating the action of swallowing.

The blond boy glanced discreetly to his right and noticed that the black-haired boy, who was also frantically eating, had an unprecedented look of satisfaction on his face, and even a radiant smile.

Are you kidding me!

Despite being a noble devil, how did he manage to maintain his appetite after eating so much mediocre food?

He even looked fucking happy!

Conversely, just how immense are this guy's desires as a devil?!

Raphael was stunned, and at the same time, the demons watching below couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"As expected of Lord Damian, his appetite is simply terrifyingly enormous!"

"What a happy expression! Just looking at it makes me want to eat."

"He's clearly a nobleman, yet he can eat so many ordinary, non-magical dishes. He's surprisingly approachable!"

...

at the same time.

Damian finally finished all the food on the table. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, still wanting more, and said expectantly:

"Mr. Sean, could we have another table?"

Raphael: "???"

The demons: "???"

"Excuse me, the food just now was all conjured up from the school cafeteria. The staff have already finished their work hours."

Sean shrugged and said helplessly.

The main problem is that if he were to take away another round of food, he would likely be chased and beaten by the head chef of the cafeteria with a soup ladle.

"Alright then." Damian looked regretful.

This was the most filling and delicious meal he had ever had, and he even ate many delicacies he had never dared to dream of before...

I have no idea when I'll get to eat such delicious food again!

"I give up..."

Raphael's lips twitched, and he raised his hand shakily.

If he had known Damian had such a big appetite, he would have just given up and wouldn't have had to eat so much magic-free food.

"Seven Sins Judgment, Second Sin: I declare Damian victorious," Sean announced.

They've won two games in a row!

According to the rules of the Seven Deadly Sins, and given that Raphael said that accepting the verdict would be considered a victory, he only needed to win one more game to be considered a winner.

It doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined...

Damian's previously tense heart relaxed slightly.

"Teacher Sean, may I suggest the topic of the third duel?"

As soon as Sean announced Damian's victory, the blond boy spoke up eagerly.

Clearly, losing two games in a row had made this noble young master lose his composure.

"Yes, but we still need to discuss it with Damian," Sean said.

"For the third duel, I hope it will be a contest of mathematics."

After hesitating for a moment, Raphael glanced at Damian and spoke with a slightly hesitant tone.

Although mathematics, which can depict all things in the world and symbolize truth, is a very important subject in the devil's studies, it would be a bit unfair to the devil to use it in a duel.

After all, it's common knowledge that Raphael held the top spot in mathematics for his entire grade at the prestigious Fraster School for three whole years...

A math competition?

Recalling that near-perfect human exam paper, Sean's gaze toward Raphael gradually became strange.

Damian's eyes lit up immediately, and he struggled to suppress the urge to smile.

Endure it, endure it...

"Raphael, are you sure you want the third duel to be a math contest?" Sean asked again to confirm.

"Yes." The blond boy nodded vigorously.

Although he noticed that Sean's gaze was a bit strange, he just assumed that Sean probably thought he was bullying Damian.

After all, not all devils are as good at math as I am.

Although Raphael felt that his behavior was somewhat shameless, he had no choice but to do so in order to get rid of the reputation of lust. He could always replenish Damian after winning.

Snapped.

Sean snapped his fingers lightly, and the next moment three blackboards appeared on the stage.

The blackboard in the middle is one size larger than the two blackboards on the sides, and the two blackboards on the sides are on the same horizontal line, but the large blackboard in the middle is in front of you.

"The third round of the Seven Deadly Sins trial is a math competition. Both sides work together to solve the math problem on the blackboard in the middle. Whoever fails to solve it first loses."

Without consulting Damian, Sean made the announcement directly.

Upon hearing this, the demons below the stage in the auditorium immediately erupted in commotion.

"Hey, Lord Sean announced the duel without even asking Damian's opinion. Is he perhaps trying to help Raphael win?"

"Yes, after all, everyone knows that Raphael dominated Frost School's math class for three whole years, and often even got full marks."

"Does that mean Raphael is guaranteed to win?!"

"Very likely. After all, even if Damian has a strong will, it doesn't mean he's good at math. When a demon goes berserk, he can accomplish anything, except solving math problems..."

The demons were discussing it amongst themselves, but most of them were not optimistic about Damian, after all, Raphael's mathematical ability was too terrifying for the demons to bear.

In the entire auditorium, only the black-haired boy was trying hard to suppress the urge to smile.

on the rostrum.

Sean walked to the large blackboard in the middle, picked up the chalk, and started writing and drawing.

Before long, he put down the chalk with satisfaction.

As a high-level devil, his mathematical skills would be enough to get him a university professorship on Earth, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to come up with a few math problems.

"This is the first question; you can start answering it now."

Sean turned and walked to the side, giving up the space on the blackboard.

hiss!

Just one glance at the blackboard was enough to send chills down the spines of the demons in the auditorium.

"This...this is way too difficult!"

"Teacher Sean, are you really not deliberately making things difficult for Damian and Raphael?"

"Ouch, that hurts! Just looking at it makes my brain start to grow!"

...

What kind of math problem could even demons fear?
