I Volunteered to Be the Demon King

Fourth-year student An Zhi of the Magic Academy received this prophecy in one of her divination classes: She and her deskmate, Luo Xiuweishi, would each become one of two things: one would be the Demon King who destroyed the world, and the other would be the hero who saved it. So which of them would be the one to destroy the world? Obviously, it would be the one with the darker heart, who couldn't stand anyone! An Zhi thought back over her recent misfortunes. She'd tripped that morning, found a broken wand in her soup at lunch, and somehow lost her holiday homework. She'd been in a foul mood all day and couldn't stand anyone, especially her naturally stone-faced deskmate, who made her even more irritable. Putting two and two together, the truth became clear: she was going to become the Demon King who destroyed the world! An Zhi secretly glanced at her hapless deskmate: He'd be the hero who saved the world, and in the future he'd probably have to clean up the messes she made as the Demon King every single day... She couldn't help feeling sorry for him. Good thing she'd received this prophecy in advance. There was still time to change everything. An Zhi secretly made up her mind: She would be a good Demon King, but she absolutely would not destroy the world! She was going to be an upright Demon King of her own free will. Luo Xiuweishi had known from childhood that he was different from everyone else. He could see the dark side of the world, and was constantly watched and harassed by dark creatures itching to attack. He thought of himself as a proud, lone wolf: powerful, perfect, and with no need for words. But after one divination class, he faced the greatest challenge of his life. His deskmate, a quiet, frail-looking girl with average grades named An Zhi, suddenly grabbed him. "Hey, have you finished your homework? Can I copy it?" He hadn't wanted to answer, but An Zhi gave him an indescribably sympathetic look, as if he were a lousy student who couldn't do his homework. ...Luo Xiuweishi thought he'd never suffered such humiliation before. By the time Luo Xiuweishi had gotten used to lending An Zhi his homework, and even helping her study after class, one day she asked him again, "Have you found a teammate for the next combat tournament?" He'd meant to say that he was so powerful he didn't need a teammate, but An Zhi gave him that indescribably sympathetic look again, as if he had no friends and couldn't find anyone to team up with. ...Luo Xiuweishi thought the last time he'd suffered this kind of humiliation was the last time. After the two of them successfully teamed up, won the combat tournament, and traveled the world, An Zhi asked him one day, "What do you think of light creatures?" He'd meant to say that light creatures were all hypocrites, and that he couldn't care less about talking to them. But An Zhi gave him that indescribably sympathetic look again, as if the light creatures disliked him because his grades in Light Element class were so bad. ...Luo Xiuweishi thought, Damn it, he'd had enough! He was going to beat up every light creature he came across from now on! Meanwhile, the light creatures who were getting beaten up by the supposedly heroic hero all exclaimed, "Huh? Huh? Huh!!!" Something's not right. This hero doesn't seem very heroic! Theme: True Love Above All
