The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Whiter than white, the pure radiance of life itself filled lake Seimei.

“…….You made light of our resolution, our courage……” (Ledoriano)

The origin explosion begins to settle and the pure white world begins to regain its colour.

“I told you to stop it.” (Arnos)

At the sound of my voice, Ledoriano’s expression shows a mix of surprise and despair.

“Are you sane Ledoriano? That was nothing but a meaningless death.” (Arnos)

“……Wh……..at……..” (Ledoriano)

I hear his teeth click together as he snaps his mouth shut before he starts trembling and groaning. It looks like he can’t even speak properly.

“Are you okay Misha?” (Arnos)

Misha had fallen back to the demon king castle as I told her.

“Arnos protected me.” (Misha)

I used my <demon eyes of ruin> to suppress the origin explosion.

<Gavel> has a wide range and normally I would have temporarily retreated using <Gatom> because as long as you are not at ground zero you can defend against it. It’s still powerful but doable.

The issue was that even if Ray and Sahsa managed to survive I wouldn’t have been able to save Misa and the girls in the fan union.

“….W…..hy…….?” (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano finally speaks a coherent word.

I turned my gaze to him.

“….Why? You were at the centre of the explosion….. How are you unhurt….!?” (Ledoriano)

“Did you think you would reach me by throwing away the future?” (Arnos)

I slowly walk towards Ledoriano.

“I certainly made light of you guys. But to go as far as to use <Gavel> for this test.” (Arnos)

Another step forward.

“It was a splendid resolution, however, this life of mine of not that cheap that you can get it by using the future of all your members.” (Arnos)

Another step forward.

A flash of a sword attack appeared.

I caught it with my right hand and brushed it off.

“….Hou.” (Arnos)

As expected they are surprised.

“………..”

What I blocked in front of me was the person who was supposed to have disappeared. Zeshia.

After using origin explosion even resurrection won’t help you. Enhalle which should have also disappeared was in her hand.

“You guys are doing something very interesting here. What is it Ledoriano?” (Arnos)

He just quivered as if scared by something.

Based on his personality he would normally start explaining things with goodwill.

But not this time. Is there a reason for it?

“………..” (Zeshia)

Zeshia kicks the ground and as soon as she approaches me she draws the formation on her chest again and immediately stabs herself with Enhalle.

<Gavel> dyes the area white again and again I suppress it with my <demon eyes of ruin>

Zeshia dies and disappears along with her origin.

However.

“……….”

Zeshia who should no longer be alive appears out of nowhere and stands in front of me for the 3rd time.

“Fumu. There doesn’t seem to be a limit.” (Arnos)

<Gavel> isn’t a magic I can deal with lightly. I must locate the reason this fellow keeps coming back.

If she won’t die from using <Gavel> then she’s unlikely to die from anything I can do.

This seems to have turned into a real fight against a real hero.

“…..Arnos-kun can you hear me?…..”

I receive a concealed <Liikus> that isn’t coming from the heroes side.

“Come to the temple. Please. Zeshia can only be stopped by me.”

<Liikus> is cut off.

“Eleonor?” (Misha)

“I can’t dismiss that this might be a trap.” (Arnos)

Misha shakes her head.

“Not lying.” (Misha)

Eleonor seems to be different from the others and if Misha says it’s okay then it is.

“I’ll go.” (Misha)

“Understood. I’ll suppress this fellow.” (Arnos)

Standing further away this time Zeshia stabs herself in the chest using <Gavel> but I quickly close the distance and stab my right hand into her chest.

“…..Tsu….!” (Zeshia)

“You’re a dull fellow. How many times are you going to blow yourself up?” (Arnos)

I cast Time Manipulation <Lebaido> on <Gavel> stopping the magic itself and preventing the origin explosion.

“Fumu. It hasn’t completely stopped?” (Arnos)

Well, I suppose it was a bit unreasonable using magic on a magic that was embedded in an origin. At least I’ve bought some time.

“Be careful.” (Misha)

“You too.” (Arnos)

Misha nods and uses <Gatom>
