I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

intermission – after raid

“Whoa…”

He took a deep breath and calmed the boiling blood. The Bong Demon Sword boasted such power that it could shatter the army of monsters in an instant, but the burden on the body was as great as that.

The same was true of the sword flight that continued after leaving the Imperial Council, and if it wasn’t for the body that reached Talma, it would have been quite difficult.

Because the connection was cut off when Tobias died, all monsters, including the gates of hell, disappeared without a trace.

I walked slowly toward the academy, stepping on the land that had been shattered by the aftermath of the sword.

Some of the buildings collapsed and were destroyed as if they had been hit by firearms.

Amidst the dust-filled rubble, I could see the students weeping and the corpses scattered all over the place.

I didn’t expect to see a scene like this at Shultz Academy, which is a fairly safe place not only in Murim, but also in the Empire.

What kind of world is human malice, and it is beyond expectations.

Suddenly, bitterness came over me.

The awakened demons seemed to have been dealt with by others while I was looking for and killing Tobias, so the roar did not resonate anymore.

The space where the sounds of battle had disappeared was filled with grief and screams.

“Master…!”

When I went back to the medical facility, Yulia, who had been waiting outside the building, stomping her feet, saw me and ran.

“Without rest.”

“I am fine. Master… are you all right?”

With her eyes wide open, Yulia asked anxiously.

“This is nothing, so don’t worry. let’s go in I think you should rest too.”

While patting Yulia’s back lightly, he entered the medical facility.

Despite the treatment of excellent medical staff, not one or two people lay in bed and lost their lives.

The thought that one of them could have been Yulia sparked anger again, but she didn’t show it and quietly smiled.

“What you went to… did it go well?”

As expected, Yulia looked carefully and asked if she was concerned.

“okay. Don’t worry about it and just focus on your training. At your current level, getting stronger is the priority.”

It’s my job to take care of miscellaneous things.

“…All right.”

It looks like there will be a lot of work to do in the future.

Caw—

A large crow landed on the balcony. Humming a song, a young woman unraveled and read the note tied to the crow’s feet.

“Is this… surprising? Cain! Cain!”

Yupir screamed as she hurriedly ran into the room.

“Noisy, Yupir. Didn’t I always tell you to be quiet and dignified in your words and actions?”

“Getting in shape.”

“Yupir.”

“okay. What’s the news?”

Yupir fluttered the paper with a playful expression.

“Looks like the Diabolus Pretums got a shot.”

“Uh… how did you know?”

“You show everything on your face. I told you to hide your face even when fighting. Seeing you so excited, it looks like one of your haters has suffered, but it’s easy to predict.”

“Eh, you look like an old lady who is unnecessarily sharp-eyed.”

“So, what exactly is it?”

Cain calmly asked, ignoring Yupir who grumbled and pounded the floor with his foot.

“It doesn’t seem like they have any intention of telling you properly. I heard that they just changed their contact route from Elder Tobias to another because the results were not as good as expected? The exact details will be given later.”

“Elder Tobias? Hmm…”

Cain stroked his chin, deep in thought.

“Could it be that the nogoe suffered? The timing is too cynical. As well as changing routes in a hurry. There is no mention of changing to anyone.”

“Since the Academy’s core force was tied to Schultz because of us, it is practically impossible. In the first place, if it was Elder Tobias, even if the swordsmith and Amelia Dean worked together, it would be okay to take out my body.”

“Well, it seems that the monster will still be alive even if its head is cut off.”

“Actually, you don’t die from having your head cut off. Even if all the limbs are amputated, let alone the neck, there is no harm in life.”

“huh…? Is Ji a vampire?”

Yupir tilted her head.

“It’s not a vampire, but more like a ghoul with regenerative abilities.”

“Ugh… Anyway, there are no good warlocks. What is a ghoul with a human body, a ghoul?”

“That’s not what we, who are cooperating with the warlocks, are talking about.”

“Originally, it’s up to you to write anything. Use whatever you want to eat, and throw it away like a used rag.”

“Where did you learn such vulgar words?”

“I hear a lot when I go around as a familiar?”

“do not do that.”

“Because you’re like an old lady.”

Yupir pursed his lips and murmured.

“Yupir.”

Cain gazed intently at Yuphir.

“okay. okay. you can’t do it So, what should we do?”

“Anyway, since we succeeded in stimulating the Empire, the speed of the Imperial Council’s decision will be incomparably faster than now.”

“I guess so.”

“And there is a high possibility that the content will be promulgated as a ban.”

“Then is it a real war?”

“okay. That is when we can see that it is time for us to step out.”

“good. But Cain, there is something I want to try.”

Yufir took out a piece of beef jerky from his bosom and chewed it.

“do not do that.”

“No, didn’t you say something?”

“It’s obvious what you want. It must be clear that you want something you should never do.”

“That’s too much. He said he would just meet someone, but that’s not possible? You don’t have to go to the main body.”

“person?”

“You know that little monster. He could be our adversary, so wouldn’t it be better to sneak up and see for yourself?”

“do not do that.”

“Tch, that’s tricky. okay.”

“Hmm… but there is a point. I’m a bit uneasy about having to send you away, but…”

“Am I not too trustworthy?”

Drinking the red liquid next to him coolly, Yupir tilted his head.

“Are you saying that now?”

“huh. however?”

“…I don’t want to talk. to wait for a while. I’m going to come up with a plan.”

“okay. i’ll wait.”

Lying flat on the soft bed, Yupir answered, yawning.

Academy raid by warlocks.

This attack, which took place within the Empire, and in the Imperial Family’s direct jurisdiction near the islands, was a major event that was enough to shock the people of the Empire.

In particular, it aroused fierce anger from the members of the Imperial Parliament, who had been heating up with the agenda submitted by the swordsman for a long time.

The imperial family, too, from Schultz to the academy. Because he lost his face by not being able to properly block demons and black magicians in the land of the imperial family, he declared that he would not stand by and take an all-out response.

Upon hearing the incident at the academy, Dean Amelia, who had been dispatched to guard the Imperial Council, hurriedly returned, and the academy was immediately ordered to close.

Due to the death of a friend who was in class right next to me, the atmosphere in the school was so quiet that I couldn’t even hear the sound of laughter.

Temporary incense burners were set up in places where the fire swept away, and priests came and went busily reciting prayers.

“How did this happen…”

Princess Riena sighed as she laid the wreath in front of the incense burner with white petals fluttering.

“More than I thought, it seems that demonic existence has penetrated deep into the continent.”

“It is frustrating. There’s nothing I can do…”

Princess Riena looked at the distant sky following the scattering petals with a gloomy expression.

“I probably won’t be aiming for the academy again. The cost will be intensified incomparably to what it is now. So, think about graduating first.”

“…all right.”

“When you have complicated thoughts, training is the answer. When you become stronger, the things you can do increase dramatically.”

“Yes, Master.”

“hmm. And Her Highness the Princess.”

Carol, slightly stunned, called for Princess Riena.

“yes?”

“There will be times in the future when I will be away often. It may be short, it may not be, but don’t worry too much if I’m away for quite some time. The security issue will be taken care of by Dean Amelia and His Highness the Swordsman.”

“What happened…?”

“I will tell you about that later.”

“…yes.”

In response to Carol’s firm answer, Princess Riena bit the inside of her lips hard enough to bleed. I intuitively sensed what the master was thinking. That master was going to endure everything alone again. I heard that Yulia was also in danger this time.

A series of events must have awakened something inside the master.

Thinking of that, Princess Riena held Carol’s hand tightly.

“Your Highness the Princess?”

Carol couldn’t help but be a bit taken aback by Princess Riena’s sudden gesture of holding her hand in a place where everyone else was present.

“Master.”

With her clear, red eyes shining, Princess Riena met Carol’s eyes directly.

“You don’t have to endure everything alone.”

Although I don’t know if the meaning was conveyed correctly, Princess Riena really wanted to say this.

Upon hearing that, Carol’s eyes trembled very slightly. It was to the extent that he would never have noticed it unless it was for Princess Riena’s sharp senses, who was looking closely at Carol from the front, and it quickly returned to a calm expression.

He let go of his hand and Carol gently patted Princess Riena’s head.

“Master?”

Princess Riena looked up at Carol with her eyes wide open in a daze.

“I am not dealing with it alone. Human beings, sometimes just having someone by your side is enough to give you strength. Whether it is a physical distance or a close distance, there is a relationship that goes beyond that.”

“but….”

I’ve felt it for a long time, but this master lacked something as a human being. It was difficult to say exactly what. Normal teacher-teacher relationships, and even those that didn’t formally express their respect, I’d never heard of a case like this. That’s something I couldn’t be more grateful for, but at the same time, whenever I looked at Master, I often felt a pity for him. I don’t know what the hell happened in the past, but I don’t think I’ll answer if I ask. Swallowing her frustrated heart into herself, Princess Riena saved what she was about to say.

“I know what you mean. One day, when the time comes, the day will come when I will tell you everything. So now…”

“now?”

Because Carol had cut off her words in the middle, Princess Riena looked up curiously.

“Let’s go practice. Anyway, if you become strong, everything will be solved.”

“……So stupid.”

“What did you just say…?”

“No, Master. yes. Go quickly.”

That, too, must be Master’s own way to ease his mood. Then, acting as if I was eaten as much as possible is the only thing I can do for that stupid, pitiful master.

With a faint smile, Princess Riena held onto Carol’s hand and moved towards the gymnasium.

Right after the raid incident, the first thing I did was make an appointment with the swordsman. Even in the midst of being hectic with the Imperial Council work, the swordsman gave up his time relatively quickly.

I pondered on my way to the back of the garden in front of the Helios Pavilion, the meeting place.

My goal could be reduced to three.

Day. no polarity. Needless to say this. It is a goal that you will have to reach throughout your life.

this. growth of disciples. In fact, it’s also the biggest reason why I stay at the academy. Whether it was Yulia or Princess Riena, they still lacked a lot.

three. the slaughter of catches. As promised, Diabolus Pretum, as well as miscellaneous things sneaking around in this world, were no longer to be left unattended. It’s proven that you can target my surroundings at any time.

The third problem. Tobias sarcastically asked what I could do alone, but there was some truth to it. It wasn’t a question of power. The continent is too large, and I only had one body. It doesn’t make any sense to just hold the tail.

It was important to find the core and punish it, and to do so, information was most urgent.

In the garden, where the strong smell of grass stimulates the tip of the nose, the swordsman was sitting on a chair with an antique table spread out, drinking tea poured by an attendant.

“Your Highness Swordsman. long time no see.”

“okay. It’s been a while.”

I bowed lightly and sat down on the opposite chair. The swordsman was looking at me with a curious expression on what I had called.

again-

Hearing the sound of tea being filled into a teacup, he straight forward brought out the matter.

“Your Highness Swordsman, please reserve a position for the soon-to-be-established Imperial Secret Intelligence Department.”

In order to annihilate miscellaneous things, it would be most efficient to use a specialized group after all.
