Chapter 94
The next day
As I opened the door to the Arclaniska Auditorium I could hear voices from the inside .
. . Aah . All of Jergakanon are off today it seems . Well, thats nothing new for Zeshia though .
Well, they were crushed by the demon king academy lot . It seems Laos had to be admitted to the magic clinic because they couldnt remove the poison from his body .
Heines even worse . His entire bodies covered in stigmata and healing magic wont work on those . They used holy water on him so he wont die but he might have been better off dying .
Wasnt Ledoriano okay though?
Yeah but the guy who went to see him said hes staying in his room and wont come out .
Im worried .
Tell me about it . That mazoku lot is full of monsters wh
Oi!
All the hero academy students turn around .
The students who were standing in a block in front of me quickly scattered to the sides and made way for me . Without fail, every one of them looked scared .
I walked down the now vacant aisle and headed to the demon king academy side .
Did a certain someone overdo it yesterday? (Sasha)
Misha tilted her head to one side .
Fumu . You thinking what Im thinking as well? (Arnos)
Misha nods .
Sashas expression took on a pained look .
Ahaha . . Everyone was amazing, right? Look at me . The exam was over before I noticed let alone did anything . (Misa)
Jergakanon surrendered as soon as Eleonor left . Presumably, she told them to .
But Im glad you didnt get hurt . Ray says to Misa with a smile .
Misa blushes and says Yes in a small voice .
By the way . I say to Ray taking a set next to him . You seem to have mastered that unique sword .
Really? I feel like I can still draw out more power from it . (Ray)
This man constantly seems to be aiming at a higher place .
Did you remember anything? (Arnos)
From my past life? No, nothing . (Ray)
Fumu . Since you used a holy sword I thought you might have remembered it . (Arnos)
Normally, a holy sword is impossible to use by a mazoku, however, if your magic power is well above the holy swords power then you can force it to surrender to you . The thing is Ray had the sword recognise him as its rightful owner and didnt force it .
2000 years ago Shin Reglia was known as the strongest mazoku swordsman but its unknown if he could do what Ray has done . He said he would start a new sword in a new era . If so he may have succeeded .
In any event, Ray is only going to grow more .
Were you an acquaintance of Arnos-sama in your past life Ray-san? (Misa)
First time Im hearing this . That would explain why the sword idiot can use demon swords so well . Were all the mazoku from 2000 years ago monsters like you guys? (Sasha)
Sasha and Misa both have eyes full of interest .
Well, I dont really know yet but it doesnt really matter . (Ray)
Indeed . (Arnos)
Sasha makes a dissatisfied face when she realises neither of us is going to say anything further .
. Hmph . A secret between men is it . . (Sasha)
Ahaha well, if Arnos-sama doesnt want to say either then thats it (Misa)
Misa seems to be a little uneasy so Ray laughed at her .
I wont change . (Ray)
Eh? (Misa)
Im me . Even if I remember everything that wont change . (Ray)
I . . see . Thats right . (Misa)
Am I wrong? (Ray)
. . NoIm . Im happy . . (Misa)
Misa looked down in embarrassment .
Looking at them sideways Sasha sighs .
Enough already . Havent you both been flirting way too much in the classroom lately? (Sasha)
Eh, ah, no, not really, that sort of thing . . ! Ah, eh? We havent, have we . ? (Misa)
While Misa was all flustered Ray wasnt bothered in the slightest .
If youre jealous then you do it too with my demon king . (Ray)
Wha . . eh . ah . . !! (Sasha)
Sasha quickly sneaks a peek at me then turns on Ray with a glare .
Ray outside now! Were going to have a little talk . (Sasha)
Sasha stands up .
Class is about to begin right? (Ray)
Not a problem . Ill end it in 1 minute . (Sasha)
Oh? Thisll be interesting with you . (Ray)
Ray also gets up and laughs cooly at the glaring Sasha .
Are you fighting? Misha says looking at them both .
I wouldnt stay we were fighting (Sasha)
Just testing our strength . (Ray)
Tha . . thats right . Its just like that painful hell called self-study . We overcame it but these small fry heroes are too weak . Its boring if we cant get serious . (Sasha)
If youre my partner Im sure I can show the true power of this unique sword . (Ray)
Ah, thats right . I was worried about that sword . Did you use holy magic? (Sasha)
Simply put I can do it if I want to . (Ray)
Haaa? Could you please explain a little more seriously? (Sasha)
*Fufufu* Misha laughs and the 2 of them look at her .
Good friends . (Misha)
Sashas eyes go soft .
Looks like your sister won . (Ray)
Haaah . (Sasha)
Deprived of their venom the 2 of them sit down .
The bell signalling the start of class rings .
After a few minutes, Menou enters the classroom and another teacher enters the room and follows her to the platform .
Mishas eyes went wide as she stared at the other teacher .
It was a white-hot opposition test yesterday and both schools have found problems with their students . Lets continue working hard together in the future . Lets begin todays academy exchange .
It was Diego Kanon Ijeishka .
The man whos origin I certainly destroyed yesterday so its no wonder Misha is surprised .
Its not another person disguised to look like him either .
The wavelength of magic power is identical and so is the origin to the Diego I destroyed yesterday .
The hero Kanon had 7 origins and could revive as long as one remained but Diego only had one origin .
Is it possible to revive if the one remaining origin was divided amongst 7 people?
No, and even if that were possible I dont think this guy is Kanon .
Even if he used magic to divide his origin into 7 theres no way he could withstand the pain like Kanon .
And even if all of it were true and he could revive I cant believe hed still be sane after the treatment he received .
Oh yeah before I start I need to communicate something to the class . All members of Jergakanon are absent today due to fatigue . Ill let you know when they are coming back . (Diego)
Everyone?
Wasnt one okay? (Arnos)
When I raised my hand Diego gazed at me .
What do you mean? (Diego)
Its certainly the same origin but somethings off . His reaction is like a different person .
After everything he went through yesterday non of its showing in his behaviour at all . I dont think hes that good of an actor .
Eleonor seemed unharmed in yesterdays test . Is she not okay? (Arnos)
Deigo didnt even pause he just answered straight away .
Shes tired as well . It seems she used too much recovery magic on Jergakanon . Its not serious but she wont be coming to class . She needs to take care and rest . (Diego)
Certainly <Gavel> is no easy spell to stop, however, we promised to meet after school today and I dont think she resting from fatigue .
Lets begin the class . Today we are talking about holy magic tools . You guys at the demon king academy might not remember but (Diego)
Yare yare . For some reason, the hero academy is more trouble than I thought .
