Chapter 237.1

The next day

The first-year students of Demon King Academy cla.s.s 2 were in Ledenor Plain, located east of Midhaze.

Until dawn today, they had undergone rigorous combat training using

, and although they each had their own differences, overall, they had achieved remarkable growth.

The students look a little haggard, being physically and mentally exhausted from being forced to overcome death over and over again, but that was to be expected. In fact, now was the perfect time to capitalize on the training still fresh in their minds.

Who knew what awaited us in the Underground World.

Alright, lets head underground now. (Anos)

Um, Anos-sama. (Naya)

Naya the Bookworm raised her hand.

What is it? (Anos)

I dont see Anosh-kun anywhere Did something happen? she asked curiously.

Oh, shes right. (Student A)

Come to think of it, did anyone see him during the

training? (Student B)

No, I dont think I did Or rather, I was too focused on other things (Student C)

The students began to murmur and chatter.

I could tell them that he took the day off, but if people thought that Anosh was only absent during the Greater Demon Kings training, some of them might get suspicious.

That being said, it would be a pain to deliberately create and animate a body double of Anosh with magic.

People would most likely see through the deception if I didnt keep it up with enough precision.

In that case

Kuhaha! What are you talking about? Anosh has been there all along. (Anos)

I directed my gaze towards an empty s.p.a.ce.

Huh?

Anosh-kun is there?

Yes.

I walked over there and spoke.

Using

and

, are you? Trying to hide from me is quite the mischievous act, but youre still far from reaching their abysses. So try to work on that during the Greater Demon Kings training. If you can fool my Magic Eyes even once, Ill give you a pa.s.sing grade. (Anos)

The students fixed their Magic Eyes in the direction of my gaze.

I cant see anything at all not even a trace of magic (Student A)

Anosh-kun really is a boy genius (Student B)

But at the end of the day, even he gets treated like a child by the Demon King. Even though Anosh managed to hide himself so perfectly, he saw through him so easily. (Student C)

Now, lets head underground. (Anos)

Arcana, who was standing behind me, quietly stepped forward.

I apologize for the late introduction, but this girl is Arcana. Shes from the Underground World. However, shes not a draconid. To put it simply, shes a G.o.d. Shell guide us to Jiordal. (Anos)

Arcana suddenly disappeared and reappeared several hundred meters away from the students.

What was that just now?

? (Student A)

No, I didnt see any magic circle at all (Student B)

So then Is she, like, an actual G.o.d? (Student C)

Thats unbelievable, but since its Anos-sama saying it and not Eldmed-sensei, she must really be a G.o.d. I mean, just by raising her hand, that Arcana girl turned day into night (Student C)

Also, check out her magic power. Thats not normal. (Student D)

Having a G.o.d as a guide Thats the Demon King of Tyranny for you This lesson is on a completely different scale from anything weve had before Are we really going to make it back alive? (Student E)

While they were talking, the crescent moon of Artiertonoa rose in the sky.

The earth freezes, and the ice melts away. (Arcana)

A silver light poured down from the Moon of Creation, with Arcana at the center.

In an instant, that light froze the earth.

In the next moment, the ice cracked like a thin sheet of ice, and a vast, circular hole appeared in the ground.

It was a tunnel leading to the Underground World.

Snow falls and becomes wings. (Arcana)

Countless lunar snowflakes rained down.

When they were illuminated by Artiertonoa, they transformed into numerous snow dragons.

Scattering sparkles of silvery light, the snow dragons moved towards the students.

The Underground World is quite far away. Those who arent good at

can get on. (Anos)

When I said that, most of the students got on the snow dragons.

Lets go. (Anos)

Arcana took the lead and descended into the hole leading to the Underground World.

I flew right beside her with

, followed by Eldmed and s.h.i.+n.

Wow, this is fun! Were flying! See that, Zes.h.i.+a? (Eleonore)

It feels comfy (Zes.h.i.+a)

Eleonore and Zes.h.i.+a were riding together on a snow dragon.

Misha and Sasha flew alongside them with

.

Wait, shouldnt you both be able to keep up using

? Sasha complained, while Misha tilted her head.

Cheating? (Misha)

N-no! Thats not it. Its just that, I wanted to try riding a snow dragon. (Eleonore)

Eleonore was making an excuse that wasnt really an excuse.

Misha stared at her expressionlessly.

And besides, I might be able to create a new spell by using this snow dragon as a reference (Eleonore)

As she spoke, Eleonore suddenly had an idea.

Thats right! I might be able to create new magic! (Eleonore)

A great discovery it is (Zes.h.i.+a)

Zes.h.i.+a gave a small clap, and Misha blinked.

Its not cheating? (Misha)

No, its definitely cheating, no matter how you look at it. It was just an excuse until she said it out loud. Sasha sharply pointed out.

Eleonore raised her index finger, and Zes.h.i.+a imitated her.

Sasha-chan, in this world, theres a saying that goes Alls well that ends well! (Eleonore)

Ends well (Zes.h.i.+a)

Sasha looked at the two of them in exasperation.

It seemed like she wanted to retort, but couldnt think of anything to say in response.

Misha, any idea what to say to refute that? (Sasha)

Misha tilted her head.

Did you really think that alls well just because it ends well? (Misha)

Good one. (Sasha)

While everybody chatted among themselves, we continued flying through the hole leading to the Underground World.
