I Summoned a Max Level Demon by Myself

Chapter 114

Chapter 19 – What’s your secret?

There are several kick-ass events.

Events that are likely to occur depending on conditions such as the player’s level, friendship between characters, reputation, and a certain period of time.

There are some that are beneficial, but most of them are situations where you want to give the player a ‘crisis’.

‘And that was the situation that was likely to occur with a high probability during the evaluation period.’

The so-called arson event.

‘The condition is above a certain grade… … . If the friendship with the aristocratic students is low.’

Externally, the Academy encourages goodwill competition.

No matter where you come from, what class you are from, what race or race you are, you must go up in a fair and upright manner with only your own talents.

‘Fair fair party… … Haguman, that’s great.’

Of course, those who know the truth have no choice but to eat.

Same for me.

(Sian, it looks like the guests are over there.)

‘Yeah, that’s how it looks.’

Noticing that there were intruders near the workshop, I first sent Emily to check their condition, then I approached a little closer and confirmed their identities with my own eyes.

not students

Neither the professors nor the staff.

Obviously an outsider. A group of people who even wore masks as if it would be difficult if their identity was revealed.

‘Looks like they got the request from where.’

Among the empire’s slums and mercenaries, especially those of poor quality, there are several who do annoying chores after receiving a request from somewhere.

And their purpose is… … .

“… … It seems you haven’t noticed.”

“If you follow the request, you will see his workshop soon.”

“If I hadn’t counted the commission fee, I wouldn’t have entered the forest like this.”

It is being approached with obviously disrespectful purposes.

At least, if you were a normal guest, you wouldn’t be sneaking up on me like that at a time like this.

“so? What are you trying to do? guys?”

“Lower your voice. What are you going to do if you get caught? As requested, we go to the black magician’s residence… … .”

“huh? to the abode? what are you going to do there? You don’t take anything other than delivery?”

“… … .”

I calmly ask them from behind, but quickly become quiet.

After all, it seems that the old men are not honest enough to answer honestly.

After silence, the gazes of those who looked back met mine, smiling calmly and waving.

“Hurray? nice to see you?”

“aaa?!”

Excuse me.

What kind of monster am I to scream at people?

“Black hair?!”

“That guy is that warlock kid!”

“How did you get caught?”

“Don’t you think that a guy who lives in a forest like this somehow has at least some means of alert around him?”

If I hadn’t been mindful of the occurrence of those events, I wouldn’t have bothered to be vigilant.

Anyway, this forest belongs to Philos Academy.

Of course, I don’t think it will be possible for outsiders to enter.

‘… … If you don’t know the truth.’

Outsiders are not allowed to enter, but outsiders can come and go as much as they like if someone from the inside puts their hands on it.

Are the expenses sufficient? The academy is safe from outside malice?

Horn!

That’s a sound that doesn’t work on this floor. ‘Cause I know that sounds like the same thing as saying my house could be burglary.

“So who commissioned you to come to the fire?”

“It’s not like that! just… … To take care of a little work as a request… … .”

From noble mtl dot com

“Then you must have the request form from the academy.”

Of course you can’t have it.

Even more so, if you search through their belongings, you will never come across anything that will be of ordinary use.

Perhaps the things you need to set fire to or raid will come out.

“it’s okay! Take care of it here!”

“Yeah, yes! After all, he said he would pay me even if I didn’t break the studio and deal with that kid.”

“Kill!”

A really easy answer.

More than anything, even if I die, I will pay for my hard work, so even if I don’t know who it is, they seem to hate me quite a bit.

Smiling bitterly at the unfortunate fact, I snapped my fingers and used magic to subdue.

Hands of black clay.

I didn’t need to use restraint magic, and I didn’t have to watch it, but I don’t want to increase the number of corpses near my place.

Black arms protruding from the floor tried to restrain them by tying them down.

“aaagh?!”

“It’s black magic! What is this terrible thing!”

“… … How dare you cheat on a kid!”

Screaming, the two of them were caught by the black magic for binding and forcibly slammed to the ground.

However, the moment one of them touched the sword he was wearing around his waist, the black clay tore his hand apart and freed himself from restraint.

“Hmm, did you ask someone who is quite confident in swordsmanship?”

“… … It looks like you’re just a kid who doesn’t know the world.”

The guy points his sword and reveals his intent to kill.

For an instant, a pale blue glow appeared at the tip of the sword. It’s probably too early to reach the level of mana.

“About a B-class mercenary.”

“If I had been quiet and trembling, I would have burned your place and finished it.”

“No, that is difficult. Besides, you seem to be misunderstanding something. mister.”

Seeing my reaction, he seems to be mistaken for my failure.

“I just thought it was unfortunate that it was only that much.”

“what?”

“… … It’s not even a practice distance for you.”

During the practical evaluation, there are subjects where you compete directly against people, so I wondered if I would use it as an opponent for pre-practice.

That’s not going to work either.

Totally underestimated.

When I openly revealed that fact, he gnashing his teeth immediately charged at me and struck down his sword.

“I’ll cut off an arm or so.”

“… … I guess it’s just that difficult.”

Fisik, laughing lightly, I swung the dagger I pulled from my waist to strike back.

Caang!

It was the sword the mercenary wielded that bounced off with a sharp metal sound.

You are weak.

“Only… … With a dagger?! About the black magician?!”

“Well, according to your standards, your sword is not even as good as a warlock.”

If it was a B-class mercenary, it would be enough to shout loudly in a secluded countryside.

About level 25.

“You are too weak.”

When I mumbled and glared at him as if he wanted to be heard on purpose, his body stiffened as his eyes met.

“… … Kwu, why?”

“Because you are weak.”

difference in abilities.

Not to mention, the effect of the coercion caused by the effect of the sword made him feel a burden that was difficult to express in words.

There was no need to kindly explain each one.

It’s enough if you just laugh at me and say, “Because you’re insignificant.”

“Don’t think that when you come to set fire to someone else’s house, you will be moderately looked after.”

“Kuh… … .”

The guy gritted his teeth.

When he showed signs of running away, I rushed right in and attacked him in order not to give him a chance.

I threw the guy’s proud sword into pieces and, devastated, clasped my other hand into the guy’s torso, which revealed a gap, and punched it.

Kwajik.

A sound that could never be heard from a human body rang out, but I didn’t care and raised a small black flame and threw it into it.

‘It seems to be defending the body with its own mana, so it would be better to properly kill half of them.’

After subduing the half-scorched man with an entrapment spell again, I checked their luggage again.

“… … Well, there were also comments from them, so there’s nothing new about it.”

(Did you really try to start a fire?)

“okay… … .”

Flammable fuel and flint. Anyone can see it, isn’t it a simple set of robbers or arsonists?

‘It’s not even a simple robber… … .’

It would be a turn of events that there were robbers, but the annoying thing is that they didn’t come simply for money.

I know the purpose without even asking.

‘It’s just because of the test.’

For some reason, the probability of raid events such as robberies and arson increases during major exam-related events, including midterm evaluations.

This kind of incident happens more often, especially during the freshman year.

The instigation of a student or someone behind the student.

(It’s just jealousy… I guess he’s scared that Xian will get good grades.)

‘That’s what it means. … … From the point of view of the nobles, they would never want to see a kid who doesn’t know where they came from, let alone a warlock who is highly regarded.’

Threatening a competitor’s life by setting fire to a competitor’s house or sending a burglar just for test scores?

… … This is such a world.

A commoner and a black magician. It is a part that makes you realize how sad that position is.

‘I laughed because I was dumbfounded when I saw it really burn during my gaming days.’

As far as I know, I was on guard from the beginning.

It’s a game, and it’s over with a laugh, but right now, if you’re not paying attention, you’ll have to watch the house burn with a devastated face.

(What about the culprit? Better be quick to bury them?)

‘Don’t say nasty things. I didn’t bother capturing him alive.’

It’s easy to kill, but the after work is annoying.

‘I’m going to hand over these guys alive.’

First of all, he is a current criminal.

Those who haven’t been approved for entry are hanging around, and their belongings are all evidence, so they’ll be dealt with by handing them over.

but… … .

‘I probably won’t be able to do anything until the guy who sent these guys.’

It won’t burn even if you pass it over.

Or, even if he confesses, the person who instigated it is just not enough.

‘Because the world is unreasonable.’

(Can you guess the culprit?)

‘There are too many of them, so I can’t pinpoint who they are.’

More than half of the aristocratic families of the Empire are people who can survive even after doing this.

Especially if they are only obsessed with test scores.

If it’s really a lot, it’s a lot.

‘If I were to argue with it, I’d have to say that this was also a bad habit that I had to fight.’

Well, it’s only tiring to go there with a sense of justice and clenched fists.

Even if you want to destroy it, you have to choose the time when you will get the most benefit and attack it.

“First of all, a moderate warning… … .”

“draft.”

Emily warns me as I ponder the policy.

I got it right away.

Immediately avoid rolling your body sideways.

Papa pat!

Something stuck in the ground where I was.

dagger.

“Three-point throw. … … Chit! Were there more!”

However, it is not the same clumsy skills as those third-rate mercenaries earlier.

Neither I nor Emily noticed its existence until the actual attack ensued.

I only barely noticed it with a faint sense of incongruity when the attack started.

“draft! Top right!”

“There you are!”

It appears to be on top of a nearby tree.

Emily and I simultaneously launch a lightning strike to knock it down and smash the tree in its entirety.

Pod!

The moment the black magic lightning bolt fell, something black afterimage escaped from there and barely came into my field of vision.

“It’s so fast… … .”

The surprising thing is that even if you notice that there is, your senses can’t catch up properly.

“It would be annoying if I lost sight of it. Emily! Can you catch that?”

“I wonder if you can barely notice the presence for now.”

But it doesn’t seem easy.

It will undoubtedly enter the ranks of masters with some skill.

“… … I’m curious about his identity, but let’s think about defeating him for now.”

It is qualitatively different from the third-rate mercenary from before.

Recognizing the threat enough to properly recognize it as an enemy, I continued to fire a series of black magic attacks based on the signs Emily had managed to catch.

Quagga gaga gag!

“It doesn’t fit at all.”

dark. In addition, the opponent’s movements were not usually sharp, so it was not easy to hit.

It didn’t get caught in the way of pretending to be wild and trying to sweep it with magic with a wide range.

“I don’t want to close the distance.”

What is certain is that the opponent does not use magic. It’s probably close range.

Considering the speed and skill of throwing a dagger, his agility must be quite high.

It’s a troublesome opponent for me who trains mage-type abilities.

“If this happens, will my sister recklessly rush in?”

“Don’t rush at your own will. If you keep wandering around and not closing the distance right now, I’m wary of you.”

It’s bizarre in its own way, though.

It also meant that the other party knew in advance that Emily was a demon.

You have to slash your familiar to resummon it, so don’t uselessly attack.

“I’d rather stir up a little more commotion and drive them out…” … .”

I have no intention of fighting seriously.

It was before I was certain of my identity, so I was struggling with my policy because I was determined and didn’t want to fight.

It was the assailant’s side that changed the behavior pattern first.
