I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Raid (2)

“Who’s who… who’s…!”

The demon in front of me fell backwards and shouted.

The stench stinging my nose made me feel like I was tired of peeing.

“Why were the demons watching Princess Riena?”

I felt an intrusive sensation, so I widened my senses and looked around, and sure enough, the demons were watching with telescopes on the roof.

“Ooh… what a coincidence! Coincidence!”

Mine trembled and desperately denied it, but there was no simple coincidence in the world.

“You want me to believe that? Miscellaneous things have come all the way to the middle of the city and are doing that? What is your purpose?”

“That…that’s…”

“There are many people in this city right now. Among them are bishops. If I hand you over to the archbishops, I won’t have to bother.”

“Oh, no! Please don’t be afraid of those devilish bastards…”

One of the three axes that make up the Imperial Senate.

I heard that the bishops who occupy the priesthood within the ranks are skilled in torturing and interrogating demons.

It seemed that this demon knew that too, and he was more afraid of handing it over to the archbishop than the bloody sea around him. If you see me doing that with the momentum to ejaculate while holding on to my trouser legs.

Instinct was the most important thing for demons, so being unable to die and having to endure endless hellish pain must be the most frightening thing for them.

“I don’t like troublesome things either, so I’ll let you go if you speak obediently.”

“…we just received a request.”

The man who had been hesitant for a while opened his mouth.

“What request?”

“That… just figure out the area we’re in charge of and report it. Who among the Electoral College stays in this area, who frequents it, such trivial things… I never would have done it if I had known that my life was in danger like this…!”

“I don’t know what your circumstances are. How do I report it?”

“Just animals come.”

“animal?”

“Sometimes it’s a pigeon, sometimes it’s a crow, sometimes it’s a bat or rat. When they come, you can bundle up what you figured out and send them.”

“Is that the end?”

“Ji… it’s real! I don’t know any more!”

Judging by the reaction, it didn’t seem like a lie.

“okay. I don’t think there’s any point in asking more.”

“Then… will you save me?”

“no.”

“Such a dog…”

squeak.

As promised, it was delivered so quickly that I didn’t even feel the pain. As was the case in Moorim, there is a high probability that the lower organization of a group operated as a point organization will have no nutritional value if you do not bother to interrogate it.

When I suddenly looked up, a crow that had been looking this way from earlier caught my eye and blew the wind away.

Maybe that’s the animal he was talking about.

* * *

“aaah—! my eyes! my eyes!”

The light brown haired woman rolls over exaggeratedly, clutching her eyes.

“Yupir, noisy. It wouldn’t hurt too much.”

“Sheesh, that’s not funny.”

As if it was a mess, a woman called Yufir looked at the young man with her golden eyes shining.

“So what happened?”

“The Familiar is dead.”

“Isn’t that a common thing? A beast at best. It must have been eaten by another animal.”

“Because it is not! If it was like that, would I have said this?”

“Then what is it?”

“There was a monster.”

Yupir sighed in disgust and shook his head.

“monster?”

“okay. Next to Princess Riena.”

“Rie… Riena?!”

“Rufus, please! If you just talk about Princess Riena, the kid can’t come to his senses.”

“Isn’t there a swordsmith next to Princess Riena? By the way… the swordsman must be busy preparing for the imperial council right now?”

“Yes, I am not a swordsman. was a young man You look like you’re a student because you’re wearing an academy uniform.”

“student…?”

The pale young man twitched his eyebrows as if wondering.

“I’m not sure because I saw it through a Familiar, but seeing how it fights, it’s at least Master level.”

“…academy students?”

“okay. You may have surpassed the Master.”

“It is impossible.”

“Can you be honest with me?”

“okay.”

“It’s over. Almost certainly.”

“It is a monster.”

“Because it is a monster. Why is something like that attached next to Princess Riena? Are you just an academy student?”

“Did you raise them secretly in the imperial family?”

“Even for the imperial family, that’s impossible. If you’re the age of an academy student, even if you’re a master, it’s unbelievable.”

“For our business… it doesn’t matter much.”

The young man stroked his chin and pondered.

“It’s like that if you stay next to Princess Riena anyway.”

“Li… Riena…!”

“If you take good care of him, I think there will be no problem.”

Feeling pitiful, Yufir looked at Lupus and shook his head.

“Come to think of it, I’ve heard of it. It was another student who saved Princess Riena from the stupid demons. Was it Bernstein? Even though it’s a famous family, I thought it was an exaggerated rumor to some extent.”

“Perhaps he did it for sure. Then everything fits. Looking at it now, the rumors have rather shrunk.”

puck!

Yufire sighed and jumped up, went to Rufus’ side and gave him a slap in the back of the head.

“Yu… Yupir?”

“Don’t go anywhere, stay still. If you run away excitedly because you saw Princess Riena, you will really die.”

“Ah… got it.”

“Be careful, too. Don’t do anything weird out of curiosity. Lupus, he won’t move unless we order him.”

“Chit, the person who actually does that is the most hot-tempered. It’s only at times like this that you pretend to be cold.”

Yupir pursed his lips, grumbled, and tapped the floor with his foot.

“Yupir.”

The young man glared at Yupir with cold eyes.

“Okay, you just have to be careful.”

* * *

“Master, are you here?”

“yes. It was nothing. I must have been mistaken.”

Near the end of a puppet show, Carol casually stood next to Princess Riena again, as if she had gone for a light walk.

‘The smell of blood…’

Originally, he had excellent senses, and he could feel the fishy smell of blood passing by the tip of his nose in Princess Riena’s sense of smell, which had become sharper due to raising Yogi.

“thank god. You knew something had happened.”

Even after realizing that, Princess Riena did not express herself. The master was a kind person. He couldn’t even properly control his own strength, and he couldn’t just pass by a child who was screaming inwardly. If the master suddenly got blood on his hands, it would be because of Princess Riena herself. Just like when he saved himself from demons. The reason why he said it as if it was nothing was probably because he was considerate of Princess Riena. I wonder if Princess Riena would shoulder the burden of her heart with something like that.

‘I don’t have to do that.’

For that caring master, it was too difficult for him to pass on even a little of the burden to his pupil. Rather than staining the hands of his disciples with human blood, he was determined to endure everything by himself, even if he had to walk alone on the path of rain. Although she didn’t hear it with her own ears, Princess Riena naturally realized that while looking at Carol.

‘hate.’

Suddenly, Princess Riena had such a thought. The relationship between master and disciple was, of course, not equal. Similarly, Carol did not regard Princess Riena as an equal subject. As if they were talking about parents and children, they seemed to think so. despite being the same age.

Being taken care of was, of course, a good thing. I liked the careless yet warm eyes that the master often showed, and the soft touches that he sometimes stroked with his big hands.

Still, after realizing it, I hated being treated like a child.

I wanted to stand proudly by the side as an equal human being, not just hide behind my back and watch. It is still far from enough. With this ability, it was just a lump of baggage, so I had to get stronger quickly. At the very least, it has to rise to a level where it won’t hold the master’s ankle. Even with my current skills, it’s not enough to be ignored anywhere, but Master’s standards will be infinitely high.

“Master, let’s go over there this time.”

“Where else are you talking about?”

So, don’t complain now. Although a bit immature, he plays a good disciple. Because I don’t want to make you worry. One day, when I’m qualified, then I’ll be able to speak confidently. to see me fully no longer a child

Biting her lips lightly, thinking about that, Princess Riena grabbed Carol’s arm tightly and hugged her.

The exact duration varies from time to time, but on average, the Imperial Council could be seen as a huge event that lasted almost a month.

Princess Riena was scheduled to appear as a witness right away on the day of the parliament’s opening ceremony. Originally, it was common for attendants not even to listen, but my case was recognized as a special case and I was able to listen.

The place where the imperial council is held is the huge dome-shaped city council hall in the center of the Schultz Free Imperial City.

Free imperial cities were places that were recognized for their autonomy under the direct control of the emperor, and in most cases they managed their own city council.

Inside the Capitol, which is as large as the size of the Schultz Free Imperial City, one of the leading cities in the Empire.

Inside the main conference hall, which was in the form of a narrow rectangle, the upper center was the seat of the emperor.

Sometimes the emperor was also present, but most of them sent a deputy, and this time the deputy was a third-year student at Shultz Academy, the student council president of the academy and the second prince of the empire.

Siegfried Ansbach Franz was present as the emperor’s representative.

High-ranking nobles sat at the back of the emperor’s seat, secular princes to the left, and clerical princes to the right. Opposite the lower side, facing the emperor, were seated the councilors of the Free City.

My seat was in the small witness waiting room behind the members of the Free City Council, and Princess Riena also sat quietly next to it.

There was also Bernstein’s seat near Prince Siegfried, but it seemed that his father had not come in person, but one of his vassals, Viscount Anhalt, had come by proxy. And right next to the emperor, he saw a familiar face.

Swordsman Reinhardt was having a hard discussion with Prince Siegfried about the council agenda.

Surrounding the conference hall, starting with the dean Amelia, the academy faculty members were dispatched to guard, and they looked in all directions with hard faces.

“Are you nervous?”

Perhaps it was because it was the first time for Princess Riena to be in a position like this, she seemed strangely nervous. Besides, the fact that he was glancing at Prince Siegfried from the side of his eyes seemed to indicate that something had happened in the past.

Even though Prince Siegfried didn’t even pay attention to Princess Riena.

“little bit.”

“This will make you a little more comfortable.”

He lightly grabbed Princess Riena’s wrist and gave her a bet. The arrogant energy of the Heavenly Demon Singong had an excellent effect on stabilizing the mind and body.

“Thank you as always, Master.”

“Anyway, the conclusion has already been drawn to some degree. Don’t be too burdened.”

Originally, the work of the parliament was more important than the vote. The fact that Swordsman was so busy running around the academy that he couldn’t be seen after the Imperial Diet was confirmed must mean he was preparing something.

The reason why Princess Riena was called as a witness was to build a cause, not to change the outcome.

“yes.”

He checked the face of Princess Riena, who had become more comfortable, and looked straight ahead.

After the formal opening ceremony, the Archbishop of Lucerne, who was in charge of the Imperial Assembly, declared the opening of the Imperial Assembly.

“There will be remarks from the Imperial Marshal, Duke Reinhard von Baden.”

Following the words of the Archbishop of Lucerne, the swordsman proudly came to the center of the assembly hall.

“Respected members of the Imperial Council! This is Reinhardt of the House of Baden. I understand that traces of demons and warlocks have been discovered in many territories recently. Unlike in the past, they operate in an organized manner and deftly evade Imperial intelligence surveillance. Not too long ago, they extended their magical powers to the academy managed by the imperial family and attempted to kidnap Her Highness, Princess Riena.”

For a moment, the swordsman chose his words and looked at Siegfried sitting on the Emperor’s Seat.

“Princess Riena, is that true?”

Prince Siegfried asked a question to Princess Riena.

“yes. It is an undeniable fact, without any lies.”

It was an incident that everyone in this room already knew about, but Princess Riena got up from her seat and put a wedge into it once again.

“The Empire is strong. however! It’s gotten too big. The longer the peace lasted, the more the demonic beings were slowly eating away at the inside of the empire while everyone was warming up and caring only for their own territories. They are too nimble to counter with the Empire’s bloated stature. Also, many of them are based outside the Empire, making tracking them difficult.”

“If outside the empire, where are you talking about?”

As if it had been put together, Prince Siegfried asked the swordsmith a question.

“The Great Mountains of the North, the Confederation of Kingdoms in the West, and the States in the Southern Islands. Where the Empire’s influence is weak, they are active.”

“Then what shall we do? Does the Duke of Baden have any countermeasures? According to the imperial decree, an order to subdue demons has already been declared inside the empire.”

“Imperial decrees are not enough. There are two proposals I would like to present to Congress. First, establish the Imperial Secret Intelligence Department under the direct control of His Majesty and focus solely on subjugating demonic beings.”

As soon as the swordsmith’s first plan came out, the surroundings started to stir up a little bit.

“Second, after a certain period of grace to those who hide demonic beings, territories, and nations, we declare unlimited war in the name of the empire.”

When the second solution came out, there was a buzz on all sides.

“I also ask His Majesty to promulgate all these matters to the whole world as a golden edict as soon as the parliamentary resolution is finalized.”

Finally, after the words of the swordsman were finished, a frightening silence hung over the Imperial Council for a moment.
