Chapter 15

-One week later-

For the group opposition test, I headed to the Demon Wood Forest behind Deruzogedo Demon King Academy .

Its a deep forest covering valleys and mountains with an eerie feeling flowing out of it . Its a perfect spot to train magic .

Now then . Divide into 2 teams and we will begin the test immediately . Sashas team will go first .

At Emilias words, Sasha steps forward .

Please be a role model for everyone .

I understand .

Sasha suddenly smiles .

My opponent will be . .

I see Sashas still glaring at me .

Im not going to escape so theres no need to look at me that way .

Ill do it .

I step forward with Misha .

Then the first two groups will be Sasha and Arnos . Your results will affect your grades so dont hold back . Do your best .

Emilia then leaves the forest along with the other students .

Are they observing us using familiars or the monitoring mirrors?

Both sides are using Demon King Army <Guys> so in effect, we are simulating a war .

Even though its just a simulation I cant seem to get away from war .

Are you ready?

Sasha glares at me with her <demon eyes of ruin>

I take it head-on in a dignified manner .

To whom do you think youre talking to?

An insolent guy as ever . Do you remember your promise properly?

Aah .

I cant trust any verbal promise from you .

I was thinking the same thing .

I try to set up Contract <Sekt> but Sasha cancels it without agreeing .

I thought you said I was the untrustworthy one?

I dont know what kind of contract you drew with your <Sekt> so I didnt sign it .

Fumu . She isnt making light of me as an inept person . Seems like shes gazed at my core properly .

Let that girl do it .

Sasha turns her gaze to Misha whos behind me .

Even though she was being looked at by the <demon eyes of ruin> Misha wasnt bothered and stared back at her older sister .

Okay with me?

Aah, it doesnt matter who does it .

Misha holds up her palm and invokes the magic formation for <Sekt> .

The conditions were written in magic and Sasha signed it .

Unless both parties agree the magic contract can never be completed .

Which position do you prefer?

You choose . Its all the same to me .

I see . Well then, Ill take the east side .

By default that makes mine the west then .

Nee, youd better remember . That arrogant attitude of yours . Youll regret it later .

Saying her piece Sasha abruptly turns around and leads her members off to the east side of the demon tree forest .

Shall we go too?

. . Nn

Walking properly we arrive at the west side and wait for a while .

Shouldnt be long now .

An owl flying in the sky uses Thought Transmission <Liikus>

The test between Sasha group and Arnos group will now begin . Dont bring shame to the founders name . Beat your enemy with your full power!!

Dont bring shame to the founders name?

I never willingly attacked any of my enemies you know .

The age of myths was not peaceful like now so I only did what I did because it gave the best results .

I was originally a pacifist . The people of this age have misunderstood me a lot for some reason .

If I was such a warlike belligerent person from the beginning I would not have remained silent when branded as an inept person .

Whatever, I guess Id better start .

Strategy . . ? Misha asked indifferently .

We are only 2 people .

Sashas team has 30 people which is about half the class .

Whats your opinion Misha?

She becomes lost in thought while wearing her usual deadpan expression .

. . My class is Castle Lord (Guardian) . Im good at Construction Creation <Ibis>

Id already cast Demon King Army <Guys>

I can freely assign classes to my subordinates . I made Misha Castle Lord (Guardian) because her magic control is very good so Construction Creation <Ibis> will suit her well .

Castle Lord (Guardian) focuses on building castles and dungeons, imbuing walls with magic and making barriers . Its a class that requires precise magic formulas .

If the user of Demon King Army <Guys> is skilled they can raise the power even further .

You build a Demon King castle using Construction Creation <Ibis> . Being in the castle will also raise the ability of the Demon King and protect them . It goes without saying but its extremely advantageous in sieges .

The proper tactic will show the maximum power of me and Misha .

I think thats what Sasha will expect us to do .

. . Thenwhat should we do . . ?

If Im honest, thinking about tactics in this place is pointless because I cant lose, however, I want to see Sashas panicking face .

Im going to do something that the other side would never expect .

Misha looks at me with no expression like usual .

. What . . ?

The Demon King (King) class shares its power with its subordinates while becoming weak itself . The standard strategy is to build a demon king castle and stay inside for protection .

As long as they stay in the Demon King Castle the (King) can have its power raised . How well the (King) can perform and is protected is down to how skilful the (Guardian) is though .
