Chapter 19


The next day ———-


When I arrive in Deruzogedo’s 2nd training hall there’s a different person than normal sitting in the seat to my right .


“Good morning” Sasha says to me with a natural expression on her face .


“Was your seat here before?”


“I changed it . It easier since we are in the same group . Right?”


It does remove the trouble of having to get up and move any time we need to discuss something .


I take my seat and call out to Misha who’s on my left .


“Yo . ”


“…… . Good morning……” Misha replies in her usual indifferent voice .


“That reminds me . What happened to the people that were my members?”


“What happened?”


“Because I entered your group there should have been other people trying to join as well . ”


That’s right, some people did call out to me .


“I refused . ”


“Haaa!? Why? Isn’t it better to have a large number of people?”


Even if you ask why .


“None of them gave off the right feeling . ”


Sasha is dumbfounded .


“Not like it’s a problem anyway . I can win with only you 2 . ”


If I’m blunt I only need myself to win .


“There will be other group tests . A lot are aimed at 5 people and when you move up a grade it can be for 7 or more people . ”


I see . Was there such a rule?


I can’t win if I cant partic.i.p.ate .


“I didn’t know that . ”


“What are you going to do?”


“It’s fine . I still have time . I’ll think about it . ”


“You sure are easygoing . ” Sasha said in amazement .


As the bell starts ringing the cla.s.sroom door opens and Emilia enters . Entering behind her is a man wearing a black robe, cloak and hat . Well, the word man is misleading . It’s more of a skeleton .


If I’m not mistaken he’s one of my 7 subordinates though apparently now an undead . So this is Aivis Necron .


One of the old 7 demon emperors . They seem to wield considerable power and influence even in this age . The usually noisy students fell silent when Aivis appeared .


No . That’s not right . They got hit by the magic power this guy is emitting . It’s pretty powerful . It’s causing them to unconsciously fear him .


The same thing would happen if I emitted my magic . Or rather, it would have done once but the mazoku in this era are way too weak .


Now, if I emitted my magic it would cause their magic senses like their demon eyes to become temporarily paralysed and they would feel nothing at all . They wouldn’t be able to sense my magic at all .


Oh well . If they actually could sense my magic those with weak anti-magic capabilities would die . Perhaps this temporary paralysis to their senses is actually a defence mechanism now .


“As I said last time, today we will be training to use a grand magic . Please listen very carefully to the old Seven Demon Emperor Aivis Necron as this spell approaches the depths of the abyss of magic . Especially-”


Emilia looks at me


“You Arnos VoldiG.o.d-kun . Please don’t be rude . ”


Good grief . Did you really have to warn me expressly?


Do they really think I’m impolite?


“You didn’t need to waste your breath . I know that much . ”


“That’s good then… . . ”


Yare yare . What are you worried about?


Aah, this is an opportunity . Should I say h.e.l.lo?


I stand up .


“Yo Aivis, long time no see . ”


“………… . !!!!!!?”


Emilia’s mouth falls open like its ready to drop off . Seems like an extreme surprise .


“A… . A… . . A……A…… . Arnos VoldiG.o.d-kun! This is Aivis-sama! Don’t speak so familiarly!!”


I can hear the whispering of the students .


“…c.r.a.p!…… . . This is bad! That fellow……he’s definitely dead now…… . ”


“If Aivis-sama gets angry we will be caught up in it . ”


“Ask for forgiveness inept person…… . ”


I ignore the noise and use my demon eyes on Aivis .


The magic is familiar, I’m sure it’s one of my subordinates made from my blood . But, there’s something… .


“Aivis-sama, I’m sorry! Arnos VoldiG.o.d will be expelled immediately…… . !!”


“It’s fine,” Aivis said in a generous manner . “You said it’s been a long time?”


Aivis turns to look at me .


“Aah, 2000 years in fact . Don’t you remember me?”


“2000 years? I see, that explains it . ” Aivis nods having reached an understanding .


“Unfortunately, I lost my memories from 2000 years ago . All I can remember is my lord the Demon King of Tyranny . ”


“Then you should remember me . ”


“…… . . Are you related to the founder?”


Fumu, I see .


He remembers the Demon King of Tyranny but doesn’t understand who I am . In other words, he believes the Demon King of Tyranny is someone other than me .


It might be related to his lost memory but it’s certainly a strange story . The top of the academy is the old 7 Demon Emperors . Even if Aivis really lost his memory it’s impossible for all 7 of them to lose their memories . This is no coincidence .


Has his memory been tampered with? Or are you pretending not to remember?


“Certainly, I feel a sense of nostalgia from your magic . ”


“Really?”


“Aah . I have no doubt that we were acquainted 2000 years ago . ”


In any event, I can’t understand anything from this conversation only .


“Do you need something from me?”


“I do, but first I’m going to try to make you remember . ”


All the students, Emilia, Sasha and Misha all watch me anxiously as I walk straight over to Aivis .


I slowly grab the skeletons face causing the whole cla.s.sroom to panic .


“Wha wha wha wha wha Arnos-kun!!”


“He’s done it… . . that fellow!!”


While the noisy students yammer on I draw a magic formation in my palm .


“Remember . Your lord . My name is Arnos VoldiG.o.d . ”


The magic that I used was Recollection . It recalls distant and far off memories .


However, there’s no answer .


“… . . It’s no use . The memory no longer exists in my head . I can’t remember it because it’s gone . Recollection cannot return that which is lost . ”


“Then how about this?”


I develop multiple magic formations and use origin magic Time Manipulation and stack up multiple Recollections .


“… . . This is…… . what are you doing… . . ? In my head… . . an image is emerging……”


“If the memory is completely gone from your head then Time Manipulation will go back in time in a limited way . In this case 2000 years ago then Recollection will recall the memory from there . ”


“… . Impossible… . . ! To go back in time…… Is there a grand magic to transcend time…… . !?”


“It’s a type of origin magic though it’s usability is quite strict . ”


The origin of Aivis’ memory of the Demon King Arnos from 2000 years ago . By following the flow of time back using I can let it form .


In the head of Aivis, the experiences from 2000 years ago should be flowing like a revolving lantern .


“… . . Certainly, I’ve gone back 2000 years in my memories… . . ”


However, it’s not there .


Even 2000 years ago there is no memory in the head of Aivis of the Demon King Arnos VoldiG.o.d .


Of course can only pull the memory out if it exists in the head of Aivis . I can only read the surface but my name should be there at the very least yet when I looked not even my name existed .


What came out instead and it came out many times was the name Demon King of Cruelty Avos Dillheavia .


“Why? Why is my memory not returning?”


“Your memory from 2000 years ago has been beautifully erased and I don’t know when from exactly . ”


Simply put, the past has been tampered with . In the head of Aivis, the memory of the Demon King Arnos was forgotten right from its start point .


This was done by magic .


Yare yare . What a nasty story .


I can’t fight it either . Not from 2000 years ago .


“I see, however, thank you Arnos . It’s a fine crop just knowing this much . It means someone is hostile against me . ”


Are you serious or pretending ignorance? It’s possible he tampered with the past himself .


I have no way of knowing .


“Don’t mind it . Let’s start the cla.s.s . ”


When I go back to my seat the students start whispering again .


“What was that…… . !?”


“I don’t know! He grabbed the head on one of the old 7 Demon Emperors and got told thank you!!”


“Why a thank you…… . !?”


“Perhaps that was his plan . ”


“What do you mean?”


“I mean he got thanked by one of the old 7 Demon Emperors!!”


“That fellow…… . Is he really an inept person?”


“…… . Amazing…… . I have no idea what’s going on at all… . . it’s too much!!”


I pull out my chair and sit down . Misha leans over and speaks to me .


“…… . I’m glad you are okay……”


From my other side, Sasha says .


“I cannot believe you . ”


Yare yare . So much noise over the dullest of things like usual .


However, Avos Dillheavia .


I had thought that my name got corrupted by mistake over the years but it’s darker than that .


The old 7 Demon Emperors, this Academy and me being branded an inept person .


All of it appears to be intended .


I’ve got no proof but I know it to be true .


Avos Dillheavia . Someone is trying to replace me .
