A while later in Deruzogedo demon king academy.

On that note, Ive got something to tell you all. The Deiruheido demon sword tournament will be held soon and excellent students from this school can also enter. First-year students are rarely recommended but there are students in this class who have been recommended.

The classroom gets noisy at Emilias words.

Who is it?

Idiot. Theres only one guy here who can go to the demon sword tournament.

Emilia watched the chatting students with a relaxed look.

The nominee is Ray Grandori-kun. Congratulations. As a student of Deruzogedo I expect great achievements.

Emilia starts clapping and other students follow suit.

Ray doesnt look particularity enthusiastic but he smiles anyway.

He might win the championship. He is the demonic sword saint after all. (1)

Aah. He did overwhelm that old seven demon emperor.

If the winner of the demon sword tournament comes from our class we can all be proud.

Because they know Rays ability with the sword, words about winning are flying around.

And one other person.

When Emilia said that the classroom got even noisier.

.Another person.? Was there someone else in this class who could enter a demon sword tournament?

Dont think so. Theres Sasha-sama whos also from the chaos generation but she doesnt use a sword.

.There is though. Theres a guy who can overwhelm even Ray with the sword..

That guy huh..

All the students eyes gather on me.

Arnos Voldigod-kun. You are also entered into the demon sword tournament. As a student of Deruzogedo please dont fight in a shameful manner.

At that moment shrill screams came from the classroom.

IT CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME! ARNOS-SAMAS ERA IS HERE!!

If Arnos-sama has been entered then isnt it already a win?

Yeah! Not only will he win but hell end up in the hall of fame!

What do I do? Im nervous

Why are you nervous?

We need to make a cheering squad for Arnos-sama! Arnos-sama cant fight alone!

My fan union raises its voice.

Whats going on? Ive never heard of white clothes entering a demon sword tournament.

Yeah. Even for regular or special participants, mixed bloods have to have their documents examined first and get rejected.

No matter how strong Arnos is whats the head of the academy thinking?

Some of the royals express their dissatisfaction.

Without bothering to explain Emilia carried on talking.

To participate in the demon sword tournament you need your own sword so please prepare it. Im sure you know the rules but you cant exchange your sword along the way. If your sword is broken or destroyed you lose. Use of magic to harm your opponent is forbidden. You fight with your sword only. Theres more detailed regulations so please check with the officials in charge of the tournament.

I see. Fighting with your own sword huh?

With this, the key to winning is not only your own skill but the performance and durability of your demon sword.

Thats all. Class dismissed.

Finishing speaking Emilia left the classroom and all the students started packing up to go home.

I hope were the pair who meet in the finals. Ray says while leaning back in his chair and turning his head my way.

Lets settle our dispute properly next time with our swords

I completely agree. I want to do it until Im satisfied.

Ray smiles in complete satisfaction.

Some of the pairings might be a problem though.

I dont think youll be defeated.

Ray stands up and turns around.

Why was I recommended to the sword tournament though? Do they think Ill win?

Ray cant answer that question. When it comes to royalty and mixed races hes basically clueless.

The royals shouldnt want a mixed-race to win the tournament. They should have jumped on my parentage and banned my entry but instead, a mixed-race has been entered. A being that normally shouldnt be able to enter.

I need to think about the motive behind this all.

Its strange alright.

Misa says coming over to us.

Do you know anything?

No and to go that far However, I believe I know a well-informed person you should probably talk to if you want answers.

A well-informed person?

Who?

The person I spoke about the other day and promised you could meet. One of the old seven demon emperors, Melheys-sama.

That reminds me, she did make such a promise.

Where is he?

In our union tower. I know its sudden but one of his plans fell through and hes free at the moment. If its convenient do you want to go now?

Yeah.

Thank you. Lets go then.

We leave the classroom and head over to the Arnos fan union tower.

After entering and approaching the 2nd floor I start hearing happy voices.

Lets start Arnos-samas support song! Jyanjyanjyanjyanjyan

Strongest! In history! Arnos-sama Instant death with a beautiful sword

Kill, kill, want to be killed Want to be rust on his sword

His fighting figure is beautiful The compassionate Arnos-sama

Affection in bed His manly sword pierces the heavens

Kill, kill, want to fall down Want to be rust on his sword

Arnos-sama With his manly sword Infinitely spreads his mixed blood

A world without royalty Is the only solution

Kill, kill, want to fall down Instant death with a beautiful sword

Fumu. Lets pretend I didnt hear anything.

Hang on. The cheering group just said they needed to make a support song so how is the song already completed?

I think this is probably something I shouldnt think too deeply about. Shall I just put it down to daily training?

I continued up to the top floor, all the while trying to expel those lyrics from my brain but failing.

Melheys-sama, Ive brought Arnos-sama.
