I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Raid (1)

Anyone who learns martial arts faces an inner abyss. Whether it’s the regular attack, the gunner’s skill, or the magic attack. whether it is a low level or a high level.

Depending on the martial arts learned, how close you are to the abyss is different, but no matter how supreme martial arts you learn, you cannot ignore the abyss itself.

In the end, the life of a martial artist could be summarized as the process of constantly fighting and overcoming one’s own abyss.

走fire入魔

The moment a warrior gives up fighting the abyss, the devil comes. The main fire infancy did not simply mean that the qi and blood were twisted and the internal air flowed backward or ran out of control.

Humans were beings who had a god and a demon in one body, and the moment they gave up resisting the abyss and were encroached on by the demon, a demon in its true sense was born.

They were a completely different class from those who simply learned magical arts and were called demons. It was true that there was a high possibility that warriors who deal with demons would be like that due to their nature, but even throughout Moorim’s history, those who could truly be called ‘Majin’ were rather from political factions.

In the case of Shinkyo, who are accustomed to dealing with extremely dangerous demons, they made all kinds of preparations to quickly identify and subdue the person who fell into the harp, but the Jeongpa was more immature than the Shinto in that respect.

Starting with the blood monk who was born in Shaolin and brought Shaolin to the brink of the Bongmun by himself, and the Judge of Life and Death who, while living as the Murim lord, entered the mind and caught and killed innocent people at random.

There were many cases where those who had mastered the magic suffered catastrophes that were difficult to reverse once they fell into the devil.

This was also the reason why the Murim people always emphasized mind training.

Near the lakeside, under a beautiful willow tree with long, thick branches, a shade was formed that naturally covered the sun, making it a natural resting place.

It was a little far from the center of the school, and because of the rare number of people, there was a quiet atmosphere around. This place, which Carol and I visited to comfortably practice psychic training, had turned into a hideout for Princess Riena and Julia.

“You know Julia…”

Pong!

Princess Riena picked up a pebble beside her and threw it lightly into the lake.

“yes. Anything you want to say?”

After Yulia discovered the painting, the two quickly became close. They had something in common, being Carol’s pupils, and when the two of them talked about Carol, they didn’t even notice the passage of time. It was only natural that the two girls quickly became friends.

That’s how the two of them often found this place like this when they had time. Of course, Carol and the swordsman were watching from afar to escort Princess Riena. From Princess Riena’s point of view, it was so far away that she couldn’t even see it, so she didn’t care too much.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll borrow the master.”

“I don’t think it’s a matter of getting permission from me.”

With a puzzled expression, Yulia stared at Princess Riena.

“The emperor has been given. Appear as a witness before the Imperial Council.”

“You mean a witness?”

“huh. Because of the previous abduction incident, there seems to be an agenda raised in the Imperial Council regarding it.”

“Then shouldn’t we go?”

“That… The date of the Imperial Council meeting overlapped with your practice training day. The Duke of Baden is busy because of the Imperial Council…”

From Yulia’s point of view, deep down she wanted Carol to watch her sparring. Even though it wasn’t something I wanted to show to anyone, it was something I chose for my own growth. Still, isn’t the human mind divided neatly like cutting a radish?

However, Julia was not inconsiderate enough to show such a sign in front of Princess Riena, who had been through a rough experience.

“it’s okay. The safety of Her Highness is the highest priority. It’s sparring, isn’t it originally something someone has to look at?”

“I’m sorry… It’s not something I can do with my will.”

“Don’t worry about me and be careful. I don’t think there’s anything special since Master is here. You don’t know what people do.”

“Thank you, Yulia.”

“What. Master said that brothers and sisters should have brotherly love.”

Yulia said with a slight smile.

“…Did you say that was a joke?”

“no. I am serious.”

For a while, the two of them sat in the shade of a tree and looked at the calm lake.

“What is the true identity of our master?”

Princess Riena asked as she glanced in the direction of Carol, as if something had suddenly come to her mind.

“You mean really?”

“huh. Julia you know What my master taught me is not common knowledge.”

“Certainly… yes. We, Rosenberg, have collected and analyzed numerous sword techniques, but Master’s martial arts system does not match any other sword techniques. As if it fell from the sky… it is heterogeneous.”

“Couldn’t he be a real human? you know that Among the novels I read before, there was a story about a dragon polymorphing into a human and having fun.”

“What kind of novel did you read…”

“That… I don’t know that! Anyway, at first I thought it might not be a demon. Because it deals with black energy.”

“It’s only the color of the energy, but it seems to be completely different from the demon’s energy. I’m not sure.”

“It is completely different. I’ve actually seen Mine and Demons. Although the master’s aura is chauvinistic, it’s not the magic that madmen deal with.”

Pong!

Princess Riena threw a pebble once again to make a water swallow.

“It’s been quite a while since dragons disappeared. Besides, he has a certain position as the eldest son of the Bernstein family, so probably not.”

“I think so too… but if it’s not a dragon, wouldn’t it be a dragon’s apprentice?”

“…you have a rich imagination.”

“No, listen closely. It’s a little better now, but do you remember our master’s first words?”

“yes. It sounded like an archaic imperial language… uh…?”

“okay! How many of them speak the imperial language. It has something to do with a real dragon!”

Even Julia, who had a worried expression at first, nodded her head the more Princess Riena spoke and began to understand.

“Certainly… there is a point. Master’s level and martial arts system are at a level that can’t be explained otherwise… He met a dragon and learned the swordsmanship system that had disappeared into the history of the continent. It’s convincing.”

“The story of our master, who was once an idiot, met a dragon, reformed and became a new person. It’s like a real novel.”

Princess Riena looked in the direction of Carol with her eyes shining.

“Shall I ask you directly?”

“No, this was originally supposed to be a secret. There may be a spell that prevents you from talking. There is a saying that if you break the oath, the dragon’s wrath will pour out.”

“…Where did you see that?”

“it is a secret. Don’t try to find out.”

“Still, I’ve heard of the Dragon’s Oath.”

“right? Because I am right.”

Watching the two girls’ delusions run wild from a distance, Carol shook her head.

They think they said it in a whisper so that Carol couldn’t hear them, but when it reached Carol’s level, it was no different than shouting loudly into her ear.

‘Should I talk about things at Moorim…?’

Seriously thinking about that, Carol sighed.

Imperial Parliament.

As an institution in charge of the legislation of the Franz Empire, it could be seen as one of the two pillars supporting the empire along with the emperor. However, now it was not only legislative, but also an institution that discussed and made important decisions in all fields.

At the beginning, it was just a court meeting of seven dukes, but as the power of the empire grew stronger, it transformed into a huge group composed of three electoral colleges, which were divided into high-ranking nobles of margraves and above, hundreds of princes, and city men, a collection of free imperial cities. .

In the current empire, the imperial power was dominant, but the Franz Empire was traditionally a country with a stronger theocratic power, and the authority of the imperial council, which symbolized the powerful theocratic power, went without saying.

The principle of holding the Imperial Council was to tour free imperial cities of a certain size or larger according to a fixed cycle. And the venue for this Imperial Congress was the Shultz Free Imperial City, and the festive atmosphere was in full swing in the city for the Imperial Assembly.

Due to the nature of the vast empire, not everyone attended, although there were many cases where only representatives were sent.

Excluding such cases, it was true that at least hundreds of nobles and wealthy wealthy people who supported free cities gathered in one place.

If you include the servants and their families who follow them, the number of people entering the city alone amounts to thousands, and the cost of lodging and spending was considerable. Aiming for that, all sorts of merchants and travelers flocked to it, and the well-organized boulevard was so crowded that there was no room to step on.

“wow….”

In front of me was Princess Riena, who was staring at the city in a festive mood with wide eyes.

“Is it that good?”

Even the tail and ears symbolizing the nine-tailed fox, which were usually invisible, were typified, and it made my head hurt from trying to keep them from popping out. If something like that happened in the middle of a crowd like this, it wouldn’t end with just interest.

It was the first time I had seen Princess Riena’s excited appearance, so I was embarrassed.

“It’s my first time coming to a place like this. The academy came right from the palace in a carriage. It’s a festival…”

“To be precise, it is not a festival. I drew it naturally because people didn’t come. But why did you pull the yogi up?”

“That… just? It feels good.”

“It is not a drug. You must not take it. Being a warrior is a law that requires restraint.”

“But now I can control it so that it doesn’t affect the people around me.”

“…All right. I will only see you today.”

Unless I was by her side, Princess Riena would hardly be able to walk around the city this comfortably. I can concede a little for today.

“Yes, Master. Let’s go over there!”

As if everything around me was strange, Princess Riena took me by the arm and began to drag me somewhere.

After passing through the vendors who opened the stalls and raised their voices to do business, and the vendors sitting on the floor laying out their goods and touting customers, we arrived at a small stage set up in front of people performing puppet shows.

From my point of view, as I watched Princess Riena, who couldn’t take her eyes off the extremely crude performance, a smile came to my lips and my hand naturally moved over Princess Riena’s head.

“Sabu… Sabu?”

“You are watching here for a moment. I have a place to go. I will be back soon.”

After stroking Princess Riena’s soft hair a few times, she slowly turned back.

Above the buildings in the city, on the wide roof, four men were yawning profusely.

“Kel kel kel. Humans, too many humans. Wouldn’t it be unaware if at least one of them disappeared?”

“What if we want to disappear without even knowing mice or birds?”

“Us? Who the hell?”

“Who is it? He is our employer.”

“Kelkel. The employer, who doesn’t even know his face, us, how?”

“If you are curious, try it. However, if you want to do it, do it alone. Don’t get us involved.”

“I will not. you can’t do it oh…! Found a pretty girl over there. Eh, there’s a guy next to you.”

The man who was looking around the streets with a telescope focused his gaze on one spot.

“where? where? I like a woman who owns it.”

The other man, who had been lying on the roof and staring blankly at the sky, jumped up and took the telescope.

“What is it, that’s Princess Riena. Where is the owner? Is the princess alone?”

“Is that the princess? There are young men around you…?”

squeak.

At the same time as the creepy cutting sound was heard, the man who was talking felt the sky spinning.

‘Black Lightning…?’

That was the last thought of Goofy, the demon who ate thirteen innocent people, in this world.

Boom!

Blood fountains gushed out in all directions, creating one corpse whose head and torso were separated and two corpses whose heads exploded and disappeared altogether.

“You can have only one mouth.”

In an instant, the young man who created this disaster stood in the middle of a sea of blood, holding an ominously jet-black sword, as if he had just taken a light walk.
