A desk was kicked away with a thud by the royal student Nousgalia put down earlier.
“What! Who’s under the protection of the demon king of tyranny!! I don’t need you to protect me. I don’t approve of this!! Who the hell recognizes this guy!! Whooo!!”
The white-clothed students looked at the rampaging man and backed away.
“Poor guy……” someone muttered.
“Ahhhh!?” The royal student shouted out in rage. “Oi! Who said that? Are you feeling sorry for me? You’re nothing! You’re not a noble! Do you still believe that crap! The demon lord of tyranny is Avos Dillheavia-sama!! Were you there at the war!?”
The students avert their eyes from him.
“….Let’s go.”
“…..Yeah.”
The white clothes ignore the man and leave the classroom to start the exam.
“….Oi……. What are you looking at Arnos……?”
The man focuses on me trying to pick a fight and Sasha starts to intervene but I tell her it’s fine.
Sasha steps back behind me with her dissatisfaction evident on her face.
“What? You may have gained the favour of the old seven demon emperors but who the hell are you to pretend to be the demon king? Haa!? You’re a misfit! It’s ridiculous!!”
“I’ve already told you all it’s your choice whether to believe it or not.” (Arnos)
“And I’m saying I don’t like it. You looking down on us! If you’re the demon lord of tyranny then kill me! Hey! I said kill me!! You can’t do it can you? Aah? Aaaah!?”
I stare coldly at him and he stiffens his whole body as if bracing himself.
“Does trash like you really think you are worth this ones time?” (Arnos)
The royal looks at me in frustration and bites his lip.
“How long are you going to throw a childish tantrum in front of me? No one is bothered about you. Why would the demon king of tyranny give you special treatment? Killing you as a miserable wretch will not make you a hero either. You are nothing but a mere mazoku that can be found anywhere.” (Arnos)
His face took on a hopeless expression and he looked like he was about to burst into tears.
“If you want to die then do it on your own. Decide your death with your own will. It’s nothing but a bother to have to have someone else’s despairing life in my hands.” (Arnos)
“…..I…….”
With no words to reply with the man just looked down.
“Soon word about the demon king of tyranny will spread throughout Deiruheido.” (Arnos)
The man twitched at my words.
“I am not kind enough to save a spoilt child. Suffer as you will until you realise that all your pain is caused by your old self.” (Arnos)
Leaving the broken man behind I head to a corner of the classroom.
As I head over I hear the broken words of someone unable to face reality.
“….Definitely….. You weren’t there…… Avos Dillheavia…… Definitely…….”
Without caring in the slightest I look at the girls from the fan union.
“Hmmmm…… Which route is the closest….?”
“It’s no further than Azeshion and there’s not much danger so this route is probably the best…..?”
“But it’s an expedition exam right?”
The girls had an opened map in front of them and were trying to find the best way to get to the Risharis grasslands.
“You don’t need that map. You can come with us to the Risharis grasslands.” (Arnos)
When I spoke the girls turned around startled.
“What? Errrm?”
“But…..”
“Is that okay!?”
The girls looked at me with a mixture of anticipation and surprise.
“Because your power may be necessary.” (Arnos)
When I held out my hand the girls gasped then quickly reined themselves in and gave guarded looks at each other.
For some reason, the air suddenly felt like conflict could kick off at any minute.
“……Okay? Eight parts. Eight equal parts right?”
“I know…….!”
“But we can choose the part we want right?”
I have absolutely no idea what they are on about.
The girls watched each other to see what they would do.
A few seconds later one of them stepped forward boldly.
“Yes! Me! Me! Thumb!”
“Then little finger!”
“Forefinger!”
“Middle finger is good!”
“Ring fingeeeeer!!!”
“Palm!”
“Back of the hand! No one touches that part often so it’s definitely valuable!”
“You guys forgot the wrist!”
The girls gathered around my hand with exquisite positioning and grabbed my hand.
“What are you doing?” I asked Sasha and the others who were looking at us with opened mouths and blank stares.
“What are we doing? Were dumbfounded that’s what…….” (Sasha)
Sasha comes over and takes my hand.
The others come over and take each other’s hands. Misha takes Sasha’s other hand while Zeshia takes Misha’s other hand and so on.
“Let’s go.” (Arnos)
I check everyone’s together and cast <Gatom>.
