Chapter 15


-One week later-


For the group opposition test, I headed to the Demon Wood Forest behind Deruzogedo Demon King Academy .


It’s a deep forest covering valleys and mountains with an eerie feeling flowing out of it . It’s a perfect spot to train magic .


“Now then . Divide into 2 teams and we will begin the test immediately . Sasha’s team will go first . ”


At Emilia’s words, Sasha steps forward .


“Please be a role model for everyone . ”


“I understand . ”


Sasha suddenly smiles .


“My opponent will be…… . . ”


I see Sasha’s still glaring at me .


I’m not going to escape so there’s no need to look at me that way .


“I’ll do it . ”


I step forward with Misha .


“Then the first two groups will be Sasha and Arnos . Your results will affect your grades so don’t hold back . Do your best . ”


Emilia then leaves the forest along with the other students .


Are they observing us using familiars or the monitoring mirrors?


Both sides are using Demon King Army so in effect, we are simulating a war .


Even though its just a simulation I can’t seem to get away from war .


“Are you ready?”


Sasha glares at me with her


I take it head-on in a dignified manner .


“To whom do you think you’re talking to?”


“An insolent guy as ever . Do you remember your promise properly?”


“Aah . ”


“I can’t trust any verbal promise from you . ”


“I was thinking the same thing . ”


I try to set up Contract but Sasha cancels it without agreeing .


“I thought you said I was the untrustworthy one?”


“I don’t know what kind of contract you drew with your so I didn’t sign it . ”


Fumu . She isn’t making light of me as an inept person . Seems like she’s gazed at my core properly .


“Let that girl do it . ”


Sasha turns her gaze to Misha who’s behind me .


Even though she was being looked at by the Misha wasn’t bothered and stared back at her older sister .


“……Okay with me……?”


“Aah, it doesn’t matter who does it . ”


Misha holds up her palm and invokes the magic formation for .


The conditions were written in magic and Sasha signed it .


Unless both parties agree the magic contract can never be completed .


“Which position do you prefer?”


“You choose . It’s all the same to me . ”


“I see . Well then, I’ll take the east side . ”


By default that makes mine the west then .


“Nee, you’d better remember . That arrogant att.i.tude of yours . You’ll regret it later . ”


Saying her piece Sasha abruptly turns around and leads her members off to the east side of the demon tree forest .


“Shall we go too?”


“…… . . Nn………”


Walking properly we arrive at the west side and wait for a while .


“Shouldn’t be long now . ”


An owl flying in the sky uses Thought Transmission


“The test between Sasha group and Arnos group will now begin . Don’t bring shame to the founder’s name . Beat your enemy with your full power!!”


Don’t bring shame to the founder’s name?


I never willingly attacked any of my enemies you know .


The age of myths was not peaceful like now so I only did what I did because it gave the best results .


I was originally a pacifist . The people of this age have misunderstood me a lot for some reason .


If I was such a warlike belligerent person from the beginning I would not have remained silent when branded as an inept person .


Whatever, I guess I’d better start .


“………Strategy……… . . ?” Misha asked indifferently .


“We are only 2 people . ”


Sasha’s team has 30 people which is about half the cla.s.s .


“What’s your opinion Misha?”


She becomes lost in thought while wearing her usual deadpan expression .


“… . . My cla.s.s is Castle Lord (Guardian) . I’m good at Construction Creation ………”


I’d already cast Demon King Army


I can freely a.s.sign cla.s.ses to my subordinates . I made Misha Castle Lord (Guardian) because her magic control is very good so Construction Creation will suit her well .


Castle Lord (Guardian) focuses on building castles and dungeons, imbuing walls with magic and making barriers . It’s a cla.s.s that requires precise magic formulas .


If the user of Demon King Army is skilled they can raise the power even further .


You build a Demon King castle using Construction Creation . Being in the castle will also raise the ability of the Demon King and protect them . It goes without saying but its extremely advantageous in sieges .


The proper tactic will show the maximum power of me and Misha .


“I think that’s what Sasha will expect us to do . ”


“… . . Then……what should we do… . . ?”


If I’m honest, thinking about tactics in this place is pointless because I can’t lose, however, I want to see Sasha’s panicking face .


I’m going to do something that the other side would never expect .


Misha looks at me with no expression like usual .


“…… . What… . . ?”


“The Demon King (King) cla.s.s shares its power with its subordinates while becoming weak itself . The standard strategy is to build a demon king castle and stay inside for protection . ”


As long as they stay in the Demon King Castle the (King) can have its power raised . How well the (King) can perform and is protected is down to how skilful the (Guardian) is though .


“Let’s do this then . We’ll make a Demon King castle as a decoy and I’ll march on over to their castle by myself . ”


“………………… . ”


Misha’s face doesn’t change but her silence had a surprised element to it .


“What do you think?”


“…… . . Reckless…… . ”


*Hahahaha* I let out a refreshing laugh .


“That’s what the other side will think as well . We can completely outthink them like this . ”


“…… . . Be okay…… . . ?”


“Well, usually this tactic would lead to our defeat . I’d be shot with that much magic fire I’d look like a honeycomb but if there is enough power difference it will work . ”


Are you worried? Misha’s face hardens .


“You worried?”


When I ask her Misha shakes her head .


“I’m anxious but……Arnos is strong…… . ”


I’m starting to understand Misha very well . She’s staring at my core with her demon eyes and understands me as well .


“I’ll leave the decoy to you . ”


Misha nods .


“…… . . Be careful……… . ”


“Yeah, I know . I’m not very good at going easy on someone after all . ”


Misha blinks at me a number of times .


“……Talking about Arnos…… . . ”


“This me? Being careful?” I ask unintentionally


Misha tilts her head at me .


“…… . Strange… . . ?”


“No . ”


*Fufufu* laughter comes deep from my stomach .


I didn’t think that she’d be worried about me fighting . Is this what having a friend is like? It’s a fresh feeling and unexpectedly doesn’t feel too bad at all .


“You be careful too Misha . ”


“……Nn…… . ”


Waving at Misha I head off into the east side of the forest where Sasha’s group is .


After a few minutes, a huge magical power flow comes from behind me .


Turning around I see 3 huge castles have been built in separate places throughout the west side of the forest .


They will probably be hollow sh.e.l.ls as they are only decoys but even so . For Misha to construct 3 huge castles in such a short period of time is outstanding . Her magic power far exceeds others in her cla.s.s .


Excluding me of course .


“Now then . Hows the other side reacting……?”


I use my demon eyes and intercept their Thought Communication .


Voices came through almost immediately .


“Sasha-sama . Three castles have been built on the enemies side . ”


“Two are probably traps . The Demon King (King) will be hidden in the remaining one . ”


“Do we destroy the castles one by one?”


“No . In such a short time Misha cannot create three complete Demon King castles . She will be buying time to complete and strengthen the real one . I’ll swat them first . ”


“Roger that . Please give us instructions . ”


“Form units consisting of Demon Swordsman (Cavalier), Therapist (Healer), Sorcerer (Mage) and Summoner (Summoner) and head to each castle . ”


“Understood!”


I see . a.s.suming its one cla.s.s per unit that 12 people heading off to the 3 castles .


She’s still got more than half her units at her position . She’s being more cautious than I thought .


Now then——


“Fumu . Have you finally built your castle?”


That took longer than expected . A huge Demon King castle has appeared on the enemies side . Until I had a destination I couldn’t move out .


Now then, let’s begin . I use Transfer


My field of vision turns pure white and the next moment Sasha’s Demon King castle appears in front of me .


I intercept their Thought Communication again and my head is filled with noise .


“Sa, Sasha-sama!?”


“What’s wrong?”


“The enemies Demon King (King) Arnos VoldiG.o.d has suddenly appeared in front of the castle!”


“What!? How’d he do that…?”


“I don’t know . The (Shaman) was watching very carefully for approaching magic power but he just suddenly appeared!! It’s some type of magic we don’t know!”


I heard Sasha take in a sharp breath .


“…… . . Possibly…… . the lost magic Transfer … . . ? It must be…… . what else could it be… . ?”


Fumu . She’s very flexible in her thinking and understood it without seeing it .


“If the Demon King (King) wants to come alone that’s fine . He might as well beg me to kill him . He probably intended to surprise us but we’ll teach him the folly of his reckless tactics!”


“I wonder about that?”


I force my way into their causing Sasha’s team to start panicking .


“What the…… . . Why can I hear that guys voice!?”


“I don’t know . The magic formation has no problems . We shouldn’t be able to hear him!”


“Well, we can!! Find the cause, quickly!! There’s a chance that he might be able to hear us as well!!”


Yare yare . They sure are noisy .


“The cause is the method in how you constructed the spell . The recall rate of the formation is 89% . That’s pretty low so it enabled me to monitor you . ”


“That’s stupid! If the recall rate is 89% then it can be used to conceal secret communications on a national level but you’re saying it can be intercepted!”


“Don’t be fooled by his words! There must be some other reason!


Good grief . I took the time to carefully teach them but they don’t believe me .


“It’s not a problem . ”


At the sound of Sasha’s voice, her subordinates regained their calm .


I’ll admit her charisma is pretty good .


“Even if he’s monitoring our he’s still the enemy (King) and he’s here alone . This castle was constructed by 7 (Guardians) . He won’t be able to breach even the first layer . ”


7 (Guardians) made this? I guess it will be pretty st.u.r.dy . There are a number of traps, dungeons, reinforcements for the (King) and plenty of protection .


However………


“It’s a very light castle . ”


I walk straight up to the castle and place my hand on the wall .


“It’s useless . Multiple anti-magic formations are woven through it . ”


“If you are only cautious of magic then you don’t know what a real battle is . ”


I strongly grasp the wall and sink my fingers into it .


“Remember this . In the future make your castle heavier . ”


With a groaning sound, the Demon King castle is ripped from the ground .


“Shaman! Wha, what’s going on!?”


“I can’t believe it . That guy… . . Arnos VoldiG.o.d, he’s lifting the castle out of the ground!!”


“No… . way . Hows he doing that………!!”


I completely lift the castle out of the ground using only one hand .


“… . No way…… Where’s he getting the power from? He’s the (King) and he’s not receiving any protection… . How… . . ?”


“Certainly, when using Demon King Army the power depends on the cla.s.s, however, there’s a big difference between our base strengths . ”


I slowly turn my body and start swinging the castle around . Centrifugal force slowly builds up as I start swinging faster and faster .


“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”


“Mon, monster! Not only lifting the castle but swinging it around as well!?”


“Stop! What are you going to do? Stoooooop!!”


Fumu . Don’t look for mercy here .


The anti-magic was perfect but they ignored physics (1)


In the first place, these people have gotten too used to peace and no longer train their bodies . Before starting to use strong magic you need to work on your physical strength .


“Hey, take care when falling otherwise you’ll die . ”


I throw the castle away using the centrifugal force I’d built up . The huge Demon King castle flies through the sky cutting through the air and then smashes into the ground .
