Help? (Misha)

If its necessary. What were you doing outside? (Arnos)

Going to school. Misha says in her usual indifferent tone.

Isnt it still early? (Arnos)

Because its the first day. (Misha)

Indeed. Thats very Misha

I threw my body through the open window and landed outside.

Misha looks at me with a curious look.

Lets go together. (Arnos)

Nn. Misha nodded happily.

Taking a leisurely walk me and Misha arrive at the hero academy.

Putting my hand on the door I go to unlock <Digit> but its opens automatically. Have the opening conditions been altered?

That reminds me. Where do we actually need to go to? (Arnos)

Grand auditorium. (Misha)

Looking around Misha points

There. (Misha)

Looking over I see a signboard with the words grand auditorium on it and pointing us in the direction of it.

I assume this has been prepared for us?

Following the instructions of the signboards, we go up some stairs and follow a passage to the back of the academy.

Arriving at the end of the corridor we find a pair of double doors and a plate saying Grand Auditorium.

Opening the door a very large space greets my eyes. The seats tier upwards and the blackboard is on the lowest platform so everyone can see.

Big. (Misha)

Theres a lot of students between us and the hero academy. (Arnos)

Theres two whole classes of just us mazoku alone then theres the heroes. If you count us all it will probably need a classroom this big.

Wooo its Arnos-kun. Good morning.

In the front row is a girl with long black hair waving at me.

Its Eleonor. She runs up the stairs and comes over to us.

Youre early Arnos-kun. Thats unexpected. Are you possibly an honour student? (Eleonor)

It was just on a whim. (Arnos)

Misha cocked her head in curiosity.

Acquaintance? (Misha)

Aah, sorry I havent introduced myself yet. Hero academy 3rd year Eleonor Bianca.

Misha bowed her head.

Demon king academy first year Misha Necron.

Pleased to meet you Misha-chan. Im fine with Eleonor.

Misha nods.

Nice to meet you.

Is now okay? I have a question about the hero Kanon (Arnos)

Just then a voice sounded from the entrance.

Hee. I wonder what it is? Ill answer if you like demon king academy onii-san. (1)

The blonde boy I saw in the library comes over.

Ledoriano and Laos were also with him.

Pleasure to meet you. Hero academy selection class [Jergakanon] 3rd rank, reincarnated from the second origin of the hero Kanon. Holy ground creation knight Heine Kanon Iorg.

Fumu. Every single one of them has a long self-introduction.

I heard that Laos was bothering you. Im sorry about that. Hes a little too quick to quarrel with people. (Heine)

No need to apologise. I was just lightly playing with him. (Arnos)

Standing next to Heine Laos frowns.

Im grateful for you saying that. Aah, do you want to play something with me as well? (Heine)

Hou. He just said something amusing.

What kind of play? (Arnos)

Todays class is a lecture. For a bit of recreation, Im planning on doing something like a rivalry between Deruzogedo and Arclaniska. How about if the loser answers whatever the winner asks? (Heine)

I see

I dont mind. (Arnos)

Well then. (Heine)

Heine casts <Zekt>

Those who lose in todays game answer the questions of the winner without lying.

By the way, one of my questions is I want to know who the demon king of tyranny is. (Heine)

Heine starts probing a little with his question trying to sound us out.

Of course, even if you ask about the competition yo (Heine)

I stop listening to him and just signed <Zekt>

Hee. Is that okay? You signed it so easily. This is different from going all out with magic you know. (Heine)

Theres no problem even if you find out who the demon king of tyranny is. Anyway.. (Arnos)

Ill teach Heine and the others the obvious truth.

No matter what the conditions are, Ill never lose. (Arnos)

(1) A stylistic choice on my part here leaving it as onii-san. Ive never thought translating onii-san as older brother works very well in English when they actually arent the older brother so I left it as onii-san. I couldve gone with demon king academy bro but I feel that gives off a different vibe than onii-san.

TN: The author left a little note at the end saying how nervous they were about writing Misa and Ray together but they were pleased that the bookmark count didnt go down much. I guess they were really worried about that for some reason lol.
