Are you upset by my words? Laos puts his hands on the floor and puts power in his feet but his body is pretty tattered and he is unable to stand up.

“You…….!!” (Laos)

Gritting his teeth Laos glares at me.

“It’s fine Laos. This is your defeat.” (Ledoriano)

While speaking Ledoriano stands in front of me.

“I apologise for his rudeness. As a consideration for me would you consider forgiving him?” (Ledoriano)

“I’ll think about it if you apologise for being rude as well. (Arnos)

Ledoriano speaks without any hesitation.

“As you say, the hero Kanon may not have defeated the demon king of tyranny. It happened 2000 years ago after all and we have no way knowing the truth.” (Ledoriano)

I was actually a little surprised.

“You changed your attitude pretty quickly.” (Arnos)

“Of course I did. Why not? When shown such a difference in power I’ll do what you say.” (Ledoriano)

It’s a calm judgement after witnessing my power but it doesn’t sit right in my gut for some reason.

Why be so hostile if you are going to back down that quickly?

“What happened to your pride? Is that all right for a reincarnation of the hero Kanon?” (Arnos)

“Pride is never more important than a life. If bowing my head will resolve a situation then I’ll do it as many times as needed.” (Ledoriano)

Fumu. It’s a believable reason.

“Whatever. It’s fine. Let’s go Sasha.” (Arnos)

“Eh……? You done? I thought you’d rampage a bit more.” (Sasha)

“There’s no point tormenting an opponent who’s lost their hostility.” (Arnos)

We head for the door.

“Aah, please wait. Can you tell me your name?” (Ledoriano)

“It’s Arnos Voldigod.”

Opening the door we left the library.

“Wait wait.” Eleonor rushes after us. “I’ll take you to the gate.”

As we move quickly to the gate Eleonor raises her finger.

“You leaving right away?” (Eleonor)

“I don’t mind and I’m sorry for any trouble I’ve caused you.” (Arnos)

After that, we continued to the gate with Elenor following us to see us off.

“I’m really sorry. I know you got into a quarrel but Arnos-kun is really strong. I was surprised.” Eleonor said as we reached the gate.

“I wouldn’t worry about it. There are energetic people wherever you go. It’s a bit troubling though when people think pure power can solve all their problems.” (Arnos)

“……….That line has zero persuasive power coming from you…….” (Sasha)

“Fumu. What do you mean Sasha?” (Arnos)

“Nothing. Nothing at all.” (Sasha)

Eleonor laughs at our interactions.

“Arnos-kun and Sasha-chan are close. Are you dating?” (Eleonor)

“Eh…..no…….such a thing……isn’t…..!!” (Sasha)

“Hmm? What are you getting so flustered over?” (Eleonor)

“What! I’m not flustered.” (Sasha)

“I see, I see. Hmm. Not flustered huh?” (Eleonor)

*Unun* Eleonor nods.

After looking at me Sasha looks down.

“What’s with that……..” (Sasha)

Eleonor smiles softly.

“Could you come here Arnos-kun?” (Elenor)

“What’s up?” (Arnos)

Going up to her she puts her lips near my ear.

“You’d be better off skipping this academy exchange. The hero academy hasn’t changed in 2000 years.” (Eleonor)

After whispering that to me Elenor separated her body from mine.

“What do you mean?” (Arnos)

She laughs and smiles at me.

“You’d be better off not knowing any more. Bye-bye.” (Elenor)

Elenor returns and heads back into the academy.

“What did she say?” (Sasha)

It hasn’t changed in 2000 years huh?

“Open.” (Arnos)

I force open Lock Barrier <Digit> and open the gate.

“Hey hey, Arnos. What are you going to do?” (Sasha)

“I’ll behave myself properly this time. Why don’t you go and play around in the city?” (Arnos)

“Haaaaa……..!?” (Sasha)

Ignoring Sasha’s raised voice I cast Illusion Mimicry <Rainel> and hide my magic with Hiding Magic <Najira>.

Walking through the gate I head through the garden and come to the outside wall of the library. Looking up I see the second-floor window which Laos entered through is still open.

Jumping lightly I entered through there and heard voices.

“I left you with the bad guy role there Laos.”

“Don’t worry about it.” (Laos)

Looking down I could see Laos who was covered in the light of recovery magic.

“But damn that mazoku was strong.” (Laos)

He stood up as if nothing had happened.

“What level was that guy?” Ledoriano says quietly.

“Five students have made it to Gairadeite so far and I think he’s one of them. He’s probably one of the top class ones from the demon king academy. Is he a 3rd year or one of those chaos generations we’ve heard about?”
