A hero of the Human–Demon War.
Nicol Zeppelin.
As the upper ranks of the nobility underwent a generational change, even he—a commander of common birth—was dismissed from his post.
“Commander, where are you going?”
“I’m not a commander anymore.”
[War Hero, but Dismissed]
💡 What happens to a weapon when the war is over? Nicol Zeppelin, the commoner commander who earned the title "Demon of the Human Race," is unceremoniously fired by a new generation of jealous nobles. Seeking a quiet life, he takes a teaching position at an academy where former enemies—humans and demons—now study together. But a hero's shadow is long, and Nicol soon finds that "peace" is just a different kind of battlefield involving students, internal politics, and deep-seated racial tensions.
Ch. 1–30 (The Cold Farewell): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Hook. The depiction of Nicol being dismissed despite his sacrifices is visceral. The transition from the frontlines to a professor's chair provides a refreshing "fish-out-of-water" dynamic.
Ch. 31–100 (Academy & Ideology): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Peak. The "Academy War" is less about magic duels and more about the clash of ideologies. Nicol’s interactions with demon students and commoner movements add layers of socio-political depth rarely seen in typical xianxia.
Ch. 101–155 (The Hero’s Truth): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Conclusion. As a completed 155-chapter series, it doesn't overstay its welcome. It wraps up the internal conspiracies and provides a definitive answer to whether a "weapon" can ever truly live a happy, civilian life.
