The Demon King’s Academy

Volume 3, Chapter 9

059

Originally, Reize had a separate vice-principal’s room, but he was staying in the teachers’ office.

It was part of her efforts to care for other teachers and stay close to her students.

However, as new teachers came in, the teachers’ room started to get cramped.

– I think it would be better for the vice-principal to be faithful to the role of the vice-principal.

On the advice of other teachers, including Giggs, we moved rooms.

Instead, as I said before, I told the students that they could knock on the vice-principal’s door at any time.

okay. Kris. Come on.

Chris was sitting in the vice-principal’s room.

“Is this your first time at the vice principal’s office”

Yes Yes.

Reize smiled at Chris’ answer in bewilderment.

‘This child… .’

I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen him swing the sword with those eyes.

“Do you want some tea if not… .”

“Gwa, it’s okay.”

“Then here.”

Reize brought some cool water and some cookies and set them in front of her.

thank you.

Well-mannered Chris.

Reize closed his eyes with his fists clenched under the table.

‘I can’t believe there’s a student like this in Terran!’

It felt as if all the stress I had received had disappeared as if it had been washed away.

Kris. The reason I called you… .”

after the midterm exam.

“I know. Is it because of the interview”

Teachers were conducting interviews with all students.

That was a part that Reize actively requested and Louis accepted.

The children passed the midterm exam.

The problem is that the midterm exam is not common.

– Dungeon Attack.

It was a test that took place in an actual dungeon, not a welcome dungeon.

Reize’s eyes sank.

There is still confusion in my mind.

what is right and what is wrong

A confusion of identities about good, evil and justice.

But what to do right now.

‘I have to take care of the children’s stress.’

In the dungeon raid, the children suffered death whether they liked it or not.

Either he himself was killed, or he killed a monster.

or.

“… … .”

Kill non-monsters.

All of the students at Hero Academy were of different ages.

The minimum age was not set, but only before seventeen could enter the school.

On the continent, people from the age of thirteen are treated like adults, but being immature was an unavoidable reality.

Such children suffer death.

In other academies, you learn about death slowly through missions and special activities, but it wasn’t like this.

Another academy had a counselor to take care of the students’ stress.

Terran.

‘There was.’

I did.

I’d rather not have a counselor.

-I know your son’s secret.

Based on what I learned from consulting with students.

-I heard that your father has a hidden concubine.

He was a very dog-like counselor who extorted money by threatening parents or threatening students.

I’m just glad I died.

and.

‘I still have it… .’

A succubus who teaches psychology.

However, since she couldn’t have interviews with the students, the new teachers and Reize were conducting interviews with all students.

Among them, Chris was assigned to Reize as a special interviewee.

– Mubong.

A child with great talent.

It’s no wonder that Terran is currently in a state of closure, but as soon as the news about Chris is known to the outside world, the hands reaching out for Chris will be enormous.

Some people use money to appease them, or worse, they kidnap them.

if that’s not the case.

Kwak.

I could have killed Chris.

Shining talent brought a lot of envy, jealousy, anxiety and worry.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. The teacher won’t reveal anything Chris says to the outside world… .”

Reize said as if to comfort Chris.

“I promise to be completely on Chris’ side.”

“… … .”

“This is a promise with my last name, Ardenne.”

Chris, who doesn’t seem to understand yet.

Being a commoner rather than an aristocrat, he didn’t seem to understand the promise of the clan, but what Reize did was a true oath, similar to an oath made with a circle.

“So feel free to say anything.”

thank you. Teacher.

then… .”

Reese says

“Shall we start by talking about the results of this midterm exam”

Kris.

He ended up placing second in the midterm exam.

Carl and Chris had almost the same score, so it was no exaggeration to say that the decision was made by the extra points.

1st place is Karl Franz.

2nd place was Chris.

It doesn’t matter who it is, though.

-Karl Franz excelled in command, magic, and swordsmanship.

Louie said

-But above all else, what got the biggest marks is that Carl sees a different perspective that other students don’t.

The evaluations were properly mixed with teachers, principal, and Louie, except for Saltryung, who placed fifth in pull-ups.

The same goes for Carl and Chris.

-When you see battle, he sees war.

Carl viewed dungeon raids from the perspective of war.

He recruited troops, trained them, and led them.

-There were cases where the hero led a single person or a small party in the Demon Lord Subjugation… .

It wasn’t very pleasant to hear the story of the demon lord’s subjugation from the mouth of the demon lord.

-There are cases where it happens on the scale of war.

Not a single word was wrong.

-Karl Franz understood the concept of every battle. PvP, PvP, and even war. That’s why it’s number 1.

Both as a hero and as a king, he showed brilliant talent.

So 1st place.

And what about Chris

-Compared to other students, he is an overwhelming talent, and his fighting sense is also excellent. That growth rate is expected.

Everyone was surprised to hear Louis go so far.

The Demon King of Chaos.

Because his praise is very precious.

-but.

The reasons for being number 2 were listed.

– Walking on a tightrope, not being able to control your emotions, losing your cool.

It is fatal.

-If Karl Franz, Erna Tizen, etc. hadn’t been on your side, you would have been eliminated.

In the dungeon raid, the sword moved as if possessed by something.

Not knowing their own limits, they squeezed everything out.

It was demonstrated with great fighting ability, but it was extremely dangerous.

During the dungeon raid, he did not die because of Louis’ power.

But in practice.

-If it had been a real battle, you would have died.

Chris would be dead.

So 2nd place.

However, it could be said that it was a very narrow difference from the first place Carl.

“Second place. This is the grade I got from the midterm exam conducted for all grades.”

Reize said with genuine admiration.

Besides that, Reize was checking Chris’ personal information.

– Kingdom of Franz, farmer’s son.

– Chris’s father, Yugo, receives 20 gold support and sends Chris to Terran.

-Mother died when Chris was born.

-… … .

It was a very dark story.

“Do you know how great you have done”

Reize looked at Chris’ face and said.

“This is the result of only two months of learning.”

I am sincerely admirable.

However, Reize did not speak any further.

“… … .”

Something shimmered beyond Chris’s eyes.

“I got the grade I deserved.”

Chris smiles and says.

“It’s all thanks to my teachers and friends. His Highness, Crown Prince Karl Franz, took great care of him too!”

“… … .”

“You have no idea how lucky I am. Just the thought of me standing above the crown prince… . Ugh.”

Chris shuddered.

“Is that all”

Rayze asked.

“Is that all you think about this grade Kris.

“… … .”

Chris shook his head.

However… .”

Chris quietly nodded.

Behind his eyes, something shimmering grew larger.

“Someday I will win first place.”

it was a desire

Reize thought of the first time he saw Chris.

Chris undergoes the test of the view of heroism.

There was nothing in his eyes.

There was no hope, no anger, no sadness, nothing.

shit.

But now there was something in his eyes.

okay. This is the academy.”

Academy.

“Don’t judge your rank. That’s not important here. Only your skills, grades, and… .”

Reyes speaks with sincerity.

“Your desire to be a hero. That alone matters.”

Chris also nodded.

Certainly Chris was a good student.

He was actively participating in the interview, and was spitting out his thoughts without hesitation.

yes. I will be a hero.”

If only there were students like this, wouldn’t Terran be the best on the continent

“… … .”

But the most important part still remained.

-Chris must be interviewed.

The story most teachers told Reize.

And the part that Ray also saw.

Kris.

In a serious, low voice.

Reize spoke as if he were careful not to wake the sleeping lion.

“How did you feel when you killed the monster”

It is important from now on.

Well… My heart raced.”

“How did you feel”

“… … .”

it’s okay. You can tell the truth about everything.”

At Reize’s words, Chris nodded and said.

shiver… same thing The very fact that I was hunting monsters excited me.”

It’s an odd reaction.

Most of the people who killed monsters for the first time would vomit or burst into tears at the sensations and emotions they felt for the first time.

However, since he was born as a farmer’s son, he may have had the experience of killing.

It wasn’t something that was particularly unique.

Questions to ask now.

that was the most important thing.

then… .”

Ray’s voice became more cautious.

“Shall we talk about a time when you attacked another student”

– Shall we talk about when we attacked other students

I used the word attack as a condescension, but actually what she was trying to say.

-How did you feel when you killed another student

This was it.

“… … .”

Reize with a strange face.

Kris.

He had an infinite talent.

And Mubong’s talent has been called a double-faced talent since the past.

Whether it’s a god-given talent or a devil-given talent.

Although possessed of certain and great talents, those who have the martial arts are not the only ones who become heroes.

from time to time for some reason.

– You can become a demon king.

A being who gave up on being human and became a demon lord.

In fact, there was such a person even among the existing demon kings.

That’s why it’s worth paying more attention to.

However, those who had experience with Mubong were extremely rare even within the continent.

Mubong’s talent was so rare that only one or two people would appear every hundred years, and most of them die without even blooming.

So Chris was a student who needed a lot of attention.

– You can tell me comfortably. I won’t talk about it anywhere, and no one will think it’s strange.

Chris’ answer to that.

ha.

How should I accept it

-nothing.

Chris said.

– I didn’t feel anything.
