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 .
