Chapter 13

13 . The witch of ruin

When I returned to my seat Emilia said

Candidates please stand up .

All the students who had previously raised their hands stood up .

5 people including me . At a quick glance none of them particularity interested me but upon closer inspection one of the girls caught my eye . A blonde twin tail with blue eyes .

She looks strong minded with good features and a good stature . Shes actually similar to Misha but most importantly their magical wavelengths are similar .

Well then, before you start grouping up, students who are running as team leaders please introduce yourselves . Well start withSasha-san .

The twin tail from earlier huh . She smiles with a determined expression .

Im from the Necron family and a direct descendant of one of the original 7 demon emperors Aivis Necron . Im Sahsa Necron the witch of ruin . Pleased to make your acquaintance .

She grips the edge of her skirt and bows elegantly .

Though Misha appears to only be absentmindedly listening to Sasha her eyes are locked on her .

When she says Necron?

. . Older sister

I see . The older sister she doesnt know if shes on good terms with or not .

Sashas in black clothes so shes a pureblood while Misha is in white .

That means .

Different mothers?

When I asked Misha shook he head .

Same parents . .

Then arent you a pureblood as well Misha?

There are other reasons apart from pedigree for someone to be in white clothes .

What?

Misha is silent for a moment before speaking .

. My family decided it . .

Your family?

The Necron family .

Fumu . What kind of circumstances do you have to treat only one of your daughters as royalty?

Pedigree is a very important thing in this era . Its strange .

Its bothering me now .

Arnos-kun . Its your turn .

While talking to Misha the others have done their introduction and its my turn now .

Whatever, I guess Ill hear about it in due course .

First off lets introduce myself . I turn towards the students and declare in a dignified manner

Im the Demon King of Tyranny Arnos Voldigod . Ill tell you all right now that the name of the demon king you believe in is wrong . The real name is Arnos Voldigod . Not that any of you will believe me . I dont blame you though . In time, you will understand . Pleased to meet you .

The classroom falls silent at my self-introduction . Liorg told me that to call myself the founder was disrespectful . Now Ive told them that the name is wrong as well .

Nobody looks directly at me but keeps sneaking glances and whispering about whats this inept person saying .

Even Emilia who is in a position to tell me off ignored it and carried on talking . Was it because of what I did a while back? (1)

Okay, your self-introductions have ended . All students who didnt run please go to the team leader who you prefer . You dont know each other yet so dont mind first impressions . There are no number restrictions for the teams so dont worry about being too large .

The students stand up at her words and move to the people they like .

Its possible to change groups at any time, however, its up to the team leader to accept a new member or not . Also, if a team leader loses all their members they will lose their position .

Seems like another mechanism to test the ability of those that would lead .

Hey, oi . What will you do?

Its got to be Sasha-sama after all .

It seems so . The witch of ruin . Another hopeful in the chaos generation . Some people are saying that shes the founder reincarnated .

Yeah, Id heard that too . The owner of huge magic power and powerful magic .

Fumu . That girl Sasha is also one of the chaos generation?

Whatever . The founder is me though she does seem to have a lot of magic power like rumoured .

On that token evidence, most of the students move to Sasha .

Misha who was sitting next to me stands up . For a moment she looks at Sasha then looks at me with her usual deadpan expression .

If you want to go to your older sister, you may go .

*Furufuru* Misha shakes her head .

Arnos group is good .

Really?

. . Nn

Im saved .

Misha looks a little bit shy and says

. Because were friends

Thats right .

It seems Misha is my only member though we are still qualified as a group . (2)

Whats happened to the others? I could just use magic to gather and compel more members but wheres the fun in that?

While thinking along those lines a blonde girl pushes through the crowds .

Its Sasha .

Arnos Voldigod was it? Nice to meet you . (3)

Aah .

She gazed at Misha for a moment .

You only seem to have one member and its a defective doll-san at that .

Fumu . Suddenly picking a fight with this me-sama . It seems this womans not right in the head .

When you say defective doll, are you referring to Misha?

Is there anyone else in your group?

*Fufu* Sasha looks down on me while laughing .

Dont you know? That child isnt a mazoku but shes not human either . Like I said earlier shes a defective doll-san . No life, no soul, no will . Just a trash doll that only works due to magic .

A magic doll?

She said their parents were the same . Was she created using their blood?

Well, whatever . There are many, many ways of creating magic dolls . Theres even a way of creating a magic doll by a mazoku actually giving birth to it .

If you are any good the doll will really be alive .

What about it?

. What do you mean? . .

If you think that a magic doll has no life nor soul then your understanding of magic is pitifully shallow . Concentrate your demon eyes even further and stare into the abyss .

A surprised expression quickly crossed her face before she laughed fearlessly .

Ill give you some advice . If you stay by such a cursed doll-san something bad will happen . Nee, you understand that right?

I snort through my nose and laugh .

Kukuku, kuhahahaha . Whatthat . . is that a threat? To this me?

Sasha starts to glare at me
