My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 9. Bewitching the Donmisae (2)

“…… It’s about the cartrod mines.”

“!”

A large-scale mining area located on the border with the western Pandemonium.

There are deposits of gold, silver, and various rare minerals, and there was a setting that the deposits were many times greater than any other mining area.

Rexton found out about it and immediately tried to inspect the area.

However, it was not enough that monsters continued to pour into the mine area, and it was difficult to approach the mine area because the black dragon had broken its nest.

“Oh, I thought he was just a strong country boy, but he must have known my information.”

He nodded his head several times as if it were quite right.

“So what is the mining area like?”

“I will let you do the mining industry.”

“What? Did you know that this place is adjacent to the Demon Realm? You don’t know when the demons will attack, and it’s not easy to approach because the black dragon has built a nest there.”

Black Dragon.

As a demon belonging to the Peremus Corps, it was difficult to deal with as a single S-class.

Moreover, it was close to the Demon Realm, so I couldn’t use anti-demon magic because of demons.

“I’m going to take care of that black dragon. Aren’t other monsters enough to be dealt with only by B- or A-rank adventurers?”

But the hero was different.

Because there is a setting that warriors have resistance to demons from the moment they awaken, and become stronger by accumulating experience every time they fight demons.

“Ha… …. Prause, I know you’re strong, but don’t be reckless.”

He sighed as if he knew that. Watching his head shake from side to side, something pisses me off.

“I know that you defeated the S-class adventurers Urca and Incuro. However, black dragons are of a different class from S-class adventurers. He’s at a level where you have to form a raid and subdue it.”

If he’s at the level of a raid, how are you going to deal with the other corps commanders and sub corps commanders?

If you look at the ranking alone, there are at least 10 demons that are stronger than the black dragon. How do you say raid every time that happens?

If this were a game, it would be possible to defeat each one as the demons were waiting quietly, but this was reality.

When we move, they move too.

As the hero grows, the demon also grows.

If it wasn’t officially revealed that it had reached its growth limit like Dex, the target would have no choice but to become better than it is now.

“Forever… …. Under.”

I strode in front of him. The butler tried to stop me on the way, but Economy stopped me with a gesture.

His eyes cross my eyes across the work table.

“If you prove that, what are you going to do?”

“Proof… …. Hmm.”

He lazily stroked his chin and then glanced at the warriors behind me.

“Come to think of it, I heard that you made the disciples you raised recently into adventurers. Did he say that all of them were above grade A? But, you’re not saying you’re sending those kids to the battlefield, are you?”

“Sorry, but those kids are stronger than me.”

Who are you worried about?

Although they are 13 years old, they are already stronger than S-class adventurers.

I could vouch for this.

In the empire, the only being stronger than them was the head of the Magic Guild.

Actually, the magic guild leader was only one level higher than the warriors, but the warriors were more ahead in the amount of magical power.

Besides, since Maria is developing all of her attributes, she could have been better than the guild leader in terms of strength.

Above all, compared to the Magic Guild Master, who had reached the limit of growth, the growth of the warriors was still a long way off.

“Ah, how are you stronger than your teacher? Grinding.”

“… ….”

“This dull tank is Tina. In that case, you just need to know. And what is a kura to the master?”

Iris hurriedly points out Tina. Angrily at that, Tina raised her voice.

“Who is Duntang! Because people who are called dull tanks are more dull tanks?!”

Both of you are not helping, so keep quiet.

Maria, who was watching the two quarreling from a distance, opened her mouth.

“Just looking at it, Iris seems to really like Master.”

“What, what?”

Iris rarely panics. Her tail, which continued to wag, stopped abruptly.

“Just, yes. It doesn’t mean much.”

“…… I can’t dislike the person who gave me hope.”

“Hmm~ I see.”

Maria answered subtly.

“Poo, what an interesting bunch of guys. Okay… …. It is strong.”

Rexton breaks off a laugh and says.

“But I don’t like hearing nonsense. So if you catch the black dragon—”

“Is Archduke Rexton available?”

Before he could finish his sentence, a familiar voice came from behind.

His gaze turns to the other side, not mine.

The moment I looked back following his gaze, there was a person who shouldn’t be here.

“Grand Duchess Elatodia… ….”

A light-colored short-haired woman with a hint of blue was knocking.

Why is that woman here?

…… No She’s bound to be.

She was one of the S-class who guarded the border area of Rexton territory adjacent to the Pandemonium.

Since Ella healed Magi with her purification stone, there was no way the royal family would let her play.

“Oh… ! Prause!”

Ella recognized me and quickly approached me. She looks up at me, closing her distance without even flinching.

“Why are you here?”

His eyes light up uncomfortably.

“No, that… ….”

“He came and told me he would deal with the black dragon.”

“A black dragon?”

He shrugs and speaks slyly. When a subject she hadn’t thought of came up, she looked back at me.

“As expected, Mr. Prause, you are a strong man that I acknowledged. If it’s Prause-sama, most demons won’t even notice it, so that’s understandable.”

“Yes. So you can say it with confidence.”

“Prause, can I accompany you to take care of the black dragon?”

“What?”

“I’m curious. With Prause-nim’s power, he’ll surely kill the black dragon in an instant, right?”

How strong is the me in Ella Todia’s head?

“Of course. Master will catch a dragon like that like a wild boar.”

I can’t even catch wild boar…… ?

I like Tina’s elated look, but let’s not exaggerate or fabricate? Your expectations are just rising.

“As expected, Mr. Prause!”

“Keep keep keep.”

Rexton just laughed as he watched the story unfold.

Damn it. Rexton.

This snarky man must have known that Ella would be interested in telling her about the black dragon.

It really bothered me.

I am very weak, but what if an outsider intervenes?

Originally, the plan was to use the warriors to deal with it without anyone knowing. I kept it with that thought in mind, and it was what I raised until now.

However, if someone else is watching, I will inevitably have no choice but to deal with the black dragon.

To see me kill a top-ranked demon in a world view that ranks around 10th in terms of rank.

It was crazy.

“What are you going to do, Prause?”

“…… What will you do with the Black Dragon?”

Now that this has happened, there is no retreat.

Gather the artifacts somehow to subdue the black dragon.

“If you kill the black dragon, of course you should give it a nobility!”

“Surely so. If you kill the black dragon, I’ll make a proposal to His Majesty the Emperor and ask him to give you the title of baron.”

You’re laughing.

I don’t go through all these hardships because I want to become a nobleman.

“Oh… Master, are you a noble? Are you going to become a noble?”

“…… No. I have no intention of becoming an aristocrat.”

“Huh? There are not many opportunities for commoners to become nobles. Are you still rejecting it?”

Looks at me unexpectedly.

Rexton seemed to think of me as a greedy person like himself.

“I don’t like the position of an aristocrat, and I don’t have the slightest desire to be used by the imperial family.”

“I think I was mistaken about something. Whether nobles or commoners, as long as they were citizens of the empire, they had no choice but to obey the orders of the imperial family. Or are you going to be forced into exile?”

“Deportation? The imperial family cannot expel me.”

There are many reasons, but the biggest one is

“As long as the demons are alive and well, the imperial family has no choice but to need me.”

From the point of view of the imperial family, it was like adding four more people with better performance than S-class, but it didn’t make sense to throw that much manpower away at this time when the spirit of the demons was getting higher and higher.

They weren’t so lacking in wisdom.

Of course, this also means that you will be deported if your lack of power is exposed or if you become useless.

But if she made her princess emperor, she would be able to put an end to even that.

“…… What a confidence. I hope that confidence does not end in arrogance.”

“Don’t worry. I am here to prove it.”

From noble mtl dot com

As long as he has the perception that he is strong, he knows that my words are not just nonsense.

That’s why I couldn’t deny it even if I said something arrogant like now.

“So…… When you deal with the black dragon, what do you wish for?”

“How about getting engaged to me?”

It was Rexton who was surprised by the unexpected bombshell remark. I was already tired of hearing it, so it was strange to be surprised.

“What?! Grand Duchess Todia! That… !”

“That’s done.”

An engagement isn’t a gap.

It was absurd to see Ella clicking her tongue in regret.

He sighed as I refused, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

“Anyway, I will ask you after defeating the black dragon.”

“…… But first of all, you’re a grand duke, isn’t the title ‘you’ a bit strange?”

“…… Rexton.”

“You don’t stick the word Grand Duke until the end. Ok, got it If you prove that you have the ability, I won’t bother you.”

He would care for anyone who would increase his wealth. Because he is polite and unpretentious when it comes to money.

So he is a good person to take advantage of.

“I’m looking forward to it. How good is Prause’s skill? It was really great to knock out the commander of the Knights of Conver with one blow, but black dragons are different from sparring. I hope you don’t get swallowed up by demons like me.”

“…… Know.”

I answered while watching the uneasiness on her face.

The black dragon was a ‘trauma’ to Ella Todia.

That’s true, the black dragon injected magic energy into Ella’s body.
