I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Swordlight 劍狂 (1)

“Director Amelia, I have brought Her Highness Princess Riena and Prince Charles.”

“welcome. Her Highness the Princess, Prince Carol.”

Following Yohana’s guidance, I entered the dean’s office, where I had been before.

Inside the dean’s office, Dean Amelia, holding a staff as tall as she was, was waiting for us along with the swordsmith.

“Long time no see. Her Highness, Princess Riena. I met you when I was young, but you have become a lady before I know it.”

After seeing Princess Riena enter, the swordsman greeted her.

“Yes, I saw you about 10 years ago. long time no see. Ball of Baden.”

“I will explain the case myself.”

Dean Amelia swung her wand once, and elaborate drawings of figures floated into the air and were placed one after another.

“First of all, it has been confirmed that the person involved in the bachelor’s office was the assistant you two saw last, and some of the bachelor’s staff here. They manipulated the magic circle and moved Prince Carol and Her Highness to the forest where the demons were waiting.”

With one gesture, a picture floating in the air was greatly enlarged, and the name Tobias was written underneath the picture, which was almost life-like.

“Above their heads was Professor Tobias from the Faculty of Research. Although not all of them are mines, the situation in which they were bought in exchange for a large amount of money has been revealed, and they have all been sent to the system. Perhaps the disposition is…”

“At least the death penalty. Depending on the results of the investigation, even the family to which you belong may be punished.”

The swordsman, who had been quietly stroking his chin, spat out words next to him.

“you’re right. It is an unacceptable felony to kidnap Her Highness in broad daylight after being bribed by a demon. First of all, investigators from the Empire are investigating all the bachelor staff, but it’s estimated that it will take some time to finish.”

“That is why I am here.”

“yes. Since it has been confirmed that not only the demons but also the demons are involved, it is unknown what more they will do. In order to prevent such an attempt at all, we have gathered His Highness the Swordsman. Originally, I was going to monitor and protect Her Highness from close range, but…”

While we were talking, the swordsmith and Amelia dean suddenly stared at me.

“When you’re by Her Highness’ side, you won’t even need me. So I decided to monitor a slightly wider range than usual.”

“That’s right. Because of this incident, it was revealed how much Prince Carol’s ability to respond to crises was, and since it was revealed that he was not at the level of an academy student, the need for even Her Highness the Swordsman to keep an eye on Her Highness from close range became low.”

“I know that you rated me highly, but I’m not always by Her Highness’s side.”

Right now, there were quite a few classes I didn’t take together, including animology.

“Don’t worry about that, I’m here in case that happens. Dean Amelia will pay more attention. This is only when you are near Her Highness, the princess.”

“Okay, don’t worry about that.”

That’s what I thought, even if you didn’t tell me anyway, I’d take care of it.

As long as demons and demons exist in this world, we must not let our guard down.

He had even heard that Princess Riena’s body was the best sacrifice for descending high-ranking demons.

Wouldn’t it be possible for a disciple who was teaching hard to be taken away by demons or demons?

“We are investigating whether there are any snitches within the imperial family, but since it’s the imperial family’s business… it’s more likely to be handled quietly internally. So, Her Highness, the princess.”

“yes?”

“Even if it’s uncomfortable for a while, please be patient.”

“are you okay. Prince Carol is also by my side a lot of the time.”

“…thank you. That’s all for now. Any more questions?”

Anyway, everything was within expected range.

Even if I didn’t listen, it was clear that there were snobs in the school, and there were probably in the imperial family.

Of course, it was the imperial family, as Dean Amelia said, it was much more likely that it would be handled quietly internally and not made public.

“Is the class going well? Apparently, the Imperial Army is everywhere.”

“Yeah, it works fine. The Imperial Army won’t enter the class anyway. And I plan to step down after the investigation of the bachelor staff is over.”

“All right.”

After talking about a few more things, he left the dean’s office with Princess Riena and walked around the quiet school for the holidays.

Dean Amelia and the swordsman seemed to have more to talk about, and started talking again as soon as we left.

“Ahhh… now it really feels like it’s over.”

Princess Riena said while stretching her body coolly.

“If the security is this tight, even the madmen won’t think of doing anything for a while. You worked hard.”

Besides, you won’t be easily fooled by tricks like moving space.

“What, I need to get stronger soon. I can defeat the demons or demons from last time alone.”

“Then it’s good, but it’s better not to kill if possible.”

“is that so? Prince Carol didn’t seem to hesitate at all…”

“I don’t hesitate if necessary, but killing people is not a very good experience, even for a Mine who has gone mad beyond regeneration. Especially at the beginning, the later the better.”

It’s better not to have that experience forever if possible, but in a world like this it would be a luxury to wish for it.

“all right. Then it would be best to suppress it as much as possible.”

“yes. Instead, you have to be much stronger than your opponent to subdue them, so you’ll have to train hard in the future. And though I have said this, you must not hesitate when necessary. In particular, you should never have mercy in your hands against demons or demons who have gone mad.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind. Come to think of it, today is a holiday… Do you have anything to do?”

Princess Riena said while gently combing her hair with one hand.

“I guess I have time, I plan to stop by the social gathering I signed up for in advance. They say it is compulsory to attend once a week.”

“social…?”

Her expression seemed full of curiosity, as if it was considered very unexpected from Princess Riena’s point of view that I had attended the social gathering.

“One said that I had to sign up unconditionally, so I found the right place and listened.”

“Ah, I see. I absolutely had to listen to one. So, where did you go in?”

“It is a place called a meditation fellowship that trains the mind. There are general deputy seats and warriors.”

“Meditation to train the mind…?”

After thinking for a moment, Princess Riena began to laugh.

“I don’t think it’s a funny name. It looked like a social gathering for thorough training.”

“No, I just wanted to get along well with Prince Carol. How did such a friendly meeting happen?”

“For me, it is fortunate. I almost went to a flower party and was arranging flowers.”

“It’s flower arrangement. I think Prince Carol would suit him well.”

“…I don’t even like words.”

“Can I go with you to the Maum Retreat Fellowship?”

Princess Riena looked up at me with sparkling eyes.

“Yes, there aren’t many people anyway, so it didn’t seem like they would reject it just because someone came.”

“I’m looking forward to it…!”

“Welcome, brother! No, who is this! Aren’t you Her Highness Princess Riena! It is an honor to meet you!”

The young man I had seen before greeted us with a shiny hair.

It was a holiday, so he was wearing a gray monk’s outfit, not a school uniform.

He looked at the two of us once, and as soon as he saw Princess Riena, his eyes changed and he shouted loudly.

“Bar… Nice to meet you.”

Unsurprisingly, Princess Riena looked very embarrassed by that appearance.

“Come on in here! Brother, come here too.”

“Are you alone today?”

“No, Stella’s hero is here.”

“Does Stella’s hero come often?”

“Yes, he comes almost every day to practice.”

I followed the young man’s guide and went inside, and found Stella meditating with her eyes closed.

“Stellar Hero, Her Highness the Princess has arrived.”

“Hello, Her Highness the Princess.”

He opened his eyes, as if he sensed our presence, and immediately got up and greeted Princess Riena.

“Hello, Stella Warrior. First time seeing you?”

“Yes, it is. I heard that you had a hard time because of demons and demons.”

“What. I haven’t done anything Here, Prince Carl has solved everything.”

At the mention of my name, Stella startled and looked at me with a twitching motion.

“That… is it? Certainly, if it’s the skill of Prince Carol that I’ve seen before…”

“What happened to you two?”

Perhaps because of Stella’s exaggerated reaction when she saw me, Princess Riena tilted her head.

“It’s just that during the entrance exam, my individual opponent was a Stellar warrior.”

“Aha, that’s so amazing. Prince Carol’s group battle opponent was me.”

“yes? Is Her Highness the princess… no, you mean, was the enemy of Prince Carol’s group battle?”

“Yes, after that, Prince Carl became my martial arts master.”

“Martial arts master…?”

Stella looked back and forth between the two of us now, with an expression of utter disbelief.

“I am learning every day. In many ways, Prince Charles is like my benefactor.”

“Is that so. That…Princess Carol.”

“What is going on?”

“What about the demons and demons? Were you as evil and strong as you were told?”

Well, from the hero’s point of view, the main enemy would be demons or demons, so he must have been curious.

“Devils are also demons, but at least the demons I met were those who gave up being human. And it’s strong… The demons I met weren’t that strong. However, if the demons weren’t careful, it would have been dangerous if they were as skilled as you.”

“It’s not even a high-ranking demon.”

“okay. In particular, if you fight the demons after being attacked by demons… there is a high possibility of danger.”

“It’s only one low-level demon… is that enough? I must work even harder.”

“If you can handle the energy you have properly, it won’t be difficult even if a few demons of that level come in droves. If you throw away your impatience and cultivate calmly, it will be possible soon. You are still young.”

In addition, there was a good chance that that holy sword would be in conflict with the demons like Shaolin’s anti-magic weapon.

According to what I grasped in advance, the holy power itself was not a normal aura.

“Thanks for the advice. I must have misunderstood you.”

“misunderstanding?”

“I believed all the bad rumors about you. I apologize for the rudeness in the past.”

Stella politely bowed her head.

“It happened. There was nothing to be disrespectful about. I don’t care what other people say about me anyway.”

In fact, I hadn’t run into Stella enough to say she was rude.

It was much better than the ones who kept talking behind the scenes.

“Teach me, thank you.”

“ha ha ha! nice to see! Wouldn’t it be nice if we lived round and round?”

Because of the indoor environment with good lighting, the young man who was especially shiny smiled cheerfully.

“Now then, Her Highness the Princess. We are going to practice.”

He passed the young man’s words moderately and said while looking at Princess Riena.

“yes? Prince Carol? Why did you come all the way here to train?”

“The atmosphere is just right, isn’t it? It is a good place to practice simbeop. As you can see, it is full of energy. The building was well built in a good place for training.”

“oh…! Also, your brother recognizes you. Our Fellowship is a historic place that has been passed down since the beginning of the academy, and thanks to the first president strongly insisting on using this place as a Fellowship building, we were able to obtain such a good foundation…”

“Your Highness, please come this way.”

“…yes.”

He took Princess Riena, who was pouting her lips, and went to a place where the warm sunlight was beating down, and began to practice Simbeop together.

Swordsmanship, a compulsory course for the Faculty of Knights.

The holiday, which felt especially short due to the incident, passed, and it was the day of the swordsmanship class, a subject that all students of the Faculty of Engineering should take.

Because the swordsmanship class is divided into several classes due to the nature of the compulsory subject, I was separated from Princess Riena, and today was my first class.

A space with tents and chairs designed for a large gymnasium and theoretical lectures.

And when we arrived at the place where wooden carvings for swordsmanship training were scattered, we saw students already waiting for class.

“That’s… he’s from the Bernstein family, right?”

“You saved Her Highness the princess?”

“There was a rumor that he was a super strong man?”

“There are rumors that it’s crazy.”

Certainly, like most of the noble students, he was sensitive to rumors, so it seemed that what happened with Princess Riena spread quickly.

Unlike before, there were a few eyes full of curiosity, not hostility.

I sat in a chair and waited with my eyes closed until a tall man in well-groomed leather armor arrived at the class.

An impressive professor with a large, muscular body and a deep scar drawn diagonally across his face.

It was Professor Liam, who supervised the group combat test during my entrance exam.

“Nice to meet you, this is Liam in charge of the swordsmanship class. Since you and I are in the position of an instructor and a cadet, we will omit the honorifics.”

After Professor Liam said hello, he looked at each student one by one, expressing his sharp energy, just like he did during the entrance exam.

Then he looked in my direction, his gaze fixed.

“Did you say you were Carol of the Bernstein family? Are you the chief of the entrance exams?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What do you think is the most important thing in learning swordsmanship?”

It was a sudden question, but the answer was obvious.

A problem you don’t have to worry about.

“It is a talent.”
