Ledriano withdrew his outstretched hand and readjusted his glasses.

Then he looked back at her through his lenses.

Then I beg your pardon. (Ledriano)

He turned on his heel and, instead of returning to his seat, headed straight for the door.

Wait, where are you going? Class isnt over yet. (Emilia)

Students who constantly misbehave are to be suspended. You said so yourself, Emilia. (Ledriano)

Hah! I cant put up with this shit, seriously. Raos spat.

You really are trash, huh, Emilia? Then again, its not like delinquents like us are in any position to say that. (Heine)

Heine glanced at Emilia before storing the Sword of Holy Land Zere back into its magic circle.

Wait! Ledriano-kun! Raos-kun! Heine-kun! (Emilia)

Without looking back at Emilia calling their names, the three of them left the auditorium.

Kahaha! I see the rumors were true, the Hero Academy has gotten rough around the edges. But I must say, this dragon-slaying request does sound fairly interesting. So this is what well be focusing on during this school exchange program. (Eldmed)

Eldmed was completely unconcerned with the current mess, and was about to move on to the lesson.

So what say you, Emilia-sensei? At the rate things are going now, the soldiers of the royal palace will probably start subjugating the dragons only when they realize that the Hero Academy is unable to handle them. But if we wait until then, all the students will all have gone to the great beyond. Dont you think we should teach them how to defeat dragons somehow? (Eldmed)

Emilia looked troubled at Eldmeds question.

Well Of course, but I have never seen or even heard about dragons before (Emilia)

Kahaha! Leave that part to the Demon King Academy! Shin-sensei here has slain over ten thousand ancient dragons under the command of the Demon King of Tyranny two thousand years ago. In other words, hes a specialist in dragon slaying. With his guidance, they should be able to slay a dragon or two easily in about ten days or so. (Eldmed)

Emilia looked at Shin with a look of surprise on her face.

How about you, Shin-sensei? Any tips you can give on how to defeat dragons? Or any weaknesses you know of?(Eldmed)

Allow me. Shin answered like it was obvious, and used magic to draw an illustration of a dragon on the blackboard.

A dragons body is covered in robust scales, but it has a unique weak spot on one part of its neck. You can easily slice its head off by running your sword through that spot. Dragons are enormous, and their neck is thicker than the blade of a sword, but it should be enough for you to slice through half of it. (Shin)

And there you have it. Just figure out where that weak spot is, and the rest will be easy. Khahaha! (Eldmed)

The students felt somewhat relieved after hearing Shin and Eldmeds explanations, as if they believed they had a chance of succeeding.

And most of all, having an instructor experienced in dragon slaying accompany them would be more reassuring than having human soldiers come along.

Say, I just had a thought. Isnt it pretty incredible that Shin could cut them down while expressly avoiding their scales? Sasha blurted out next to me.

Calling dragon scales hard would be an understatement, after all. But I think cutting them down is nothing difficult for him. Its just that he wants to avoid anything that would survive his blade and dull its edge. Lay replied.

Either way, I really dont want a direct confrontation with a monster that makes Shin choose a particular spot to cut it down (Sasha)

Ahaha It may not be a problem for us, but Eldmed-sensei is planning to have the other students perform the same feat like its normal, huh. Misa said.

Not to mention, he said that hell make sure theyre capable of slaying dragons in ten days or so like its nothing, but hes definitely going to make his lessons so hard theyll die. Eleonore followed.

Thats nothing. If they die, all theyll need is to have the <Resurrection Ingall> cast on them. I said.

Harsh. Misha muttered.

Its not just harsh. Its downright evil. Sasha commented with a sigh.

Still, though I think the Conflagration King will also intervene when that happens, you guys should be careful not to get devoured. (Anos)

Well, of course I dont want to get devoured by dragons, but Is there another reason youre warning us about it? (Sasha)

Sasha looked anxious about my reply.

Dragons possess a peculiar digestive system. When eating their prey, they consume their sources as well. And once theyre digested, their owners cant be revived. (Anos)

This is horrible. (Sasha)

Sasha clutched her own head.

Um Eldmed-sensei. (Emilia)

Emilia, who was about to walk up the podium, stopped in her tracks and spoke up.

Can I ask you to replace me for the rest of the class please? I wont be long Ill just bring those delinquents back. (Emilia)

Khahaha! Sure, sure, I dont mind. I see youre quite devoted to your students. The three who left might die if they dont learn about dragons, after all. Of course you would be worried about them. (Eldmed)

Im not worried. Its simply that if any student dies, I will be held responsible. (Emilia)

Eldmed cackled at that.

Those who act in self-preservation are better than those who only think but never act. Now off you go, Emilia-sensei. (Eldmed)

After nodding in response, Emilia left the auditorium.

Hmm I wonder if Ledriano-kun and the others will actually come back. Eleonore asked herself in worry.

They are all turning delinquent in their rebellious phase Zeshia commented, adding to Eleonores worries.

On that note, I dont think Emilia-sensei is fitting in at all in the Hero Academy, so why did you assign her here? Didnt she come and seek an audience with you specifically to ask you to save her? Sasha asked.

Well, I thought Id give her a taste of misery. (Anos)

Are you a devil?! (Sasha)

Its a bit drastic, sure. But there are things people dont notice without going through that. Doing it the gentle way wouldnt help her at this point. (Anos)

Sasha pondered my remark.

Dont worry, if this doesnt work, Ill just keep at it until I come up with another way to save her. (Anos)

As I laughed like a typical Demon King, Sasha looked at me with a slight look of discomfort.
