—The next day—
As I opened the door to the Arclaniska Auditorium I could hear voices from the inside.
“…..Aah. All of Jergakanon are off today it seems. Well, that’s nothing new for Zeshia though.”
“Well, they were crushed by the demon king academy lot. It seems Laos had to be admitted to the magic clinic because they couldn’t remove the poison from his body.”
“Heine’s even worse. His entire bodies covered in stigmata and healing magic won’t work on those. They used holy water on him so he won’t die but he might have been better off dying.”
“Wasn’t Ledoriano okay though?”
“Yeah but the guy who went to see him said he’s staying in his room and won’t come out.”
“I’m worried….”
“Tell me about it. That mazoku lot is full of monsters wh—”
“Oi!”
All the hero academy students turn around.
The students who were standing in a block in front of me quickly scattered to the sides and made way for me. Without fail, every one of them looked scared.
I walked down the now vacant aisle and headed to the demon king academy side.
“Did a certain someone overdo it yesterday?” (Sasha)
Misha tilted her head to one side.
“Fumu. You thinking what I’m thinking as well?” (Arnos)
Misha nods.
Sasha’s expression took on a pained look.
“……Ahaha….. Everyone was amazing, right? Look at me. The exam was over before I noticed let alone did anything.” (Misa)
Jergakanon surrendered as soon as Eleonor left. Presumably, she told them to.
“But I’m glad you didn’t get hurt.” Ray says to Misa with a smile.
Misa blushes and says “Yes” in a small voice.
“By the way.” I say to Ray taking a set next to him. “You seem to have mastered that unique sword.”
“Really? I feel like I can still draw out more power from it.” (Ray)
This man constantly seems to be aiming at a higher place.
“Did you remember anything?” (Arnos)
“From my past life? No, nothing.” (Ray)
“Fumu. Since you used a holy sword I thought you might have remembered it.” (Arnos)
Normally, a holy sword is impossible to use by a mazoku, however, if your magic power is well above the holy swords power then you can force it to surrender to you. The thing is Ray had the sword recognise him as its rightful owner and didn’t force it.
2000 years ago Shin Reglia was known as the strongest mazoku swordsman but it’s unknown if he could do what Ray has done. He said he would start a new sword in a new era. If so he may have succeeded.
In any event, Ray is only going to grow more.
“Were you an acquaintance of Arnos-sama in your past life Ray-san?” (Misa)
“First time I’m hearing this. That would explain why the sword idiot can use demon swords so well. Were all the mazoku from 2000 years ago monsters like you guys?” (Sasha)
Sasha and Misa both have eyes full of interest.
“Well, I don’t really know yet but it doesn’t really matter.” (Ray)
“Indeed.” (Arnos)
Sasha makes a dissatisfied face when she realises neither of us is going to say anything further.
“…. Hmph. A secret between men is it…..” (Sasha)
“Ahaha… well, if Arnos-sama doesn’t want to say either then that’s it……” (Misa)
Misa seems to be a little uneasy so Ray laughed at her.
“I won’t change.” (Ray)
“Eh?” (Misa)
“I’m me. Even if I remember everything that won’t change.” (Ray)
“I…..see. That’s right….” (Misa)
“Am I wrong?” (Ray)
“…..No…I’m……. I’m happy…..” (Misa)
Misa looked down in embarrassment.
Looking at them sideways Sasha sighs.
“Enough already. Haven’t you both been flirting way too much in the classroom lately?” (Sasha)
“Eh, ah, no, not really, that sort of thing…..! Ah, eh? We haven’t, have we….?” (Misa)
While Misa was all flustered Ray wasn’t bothered in the slightest.
“If you’re jealous then you do it too with my demon king.” (Ray)
“Wha….. eh….ah…..!!” (Sasha)
Sasha quickly sneaks a peek at me then turns on Ray with a glare.
“Ray outside now! Were going to have a little talk.” (Sasha)
Sasha stands up.
“Class is about to begin right?” (Ray)
