A desk was kicked away with a thud by the royal student Nousgalia put down earlier.
âWhat! Whoâs under the protection of the demon king of tyranny!! I donât need you to protect me. I donât approve of this!! Who the hell recognizes this guy!! Whooo!!â
The white-clothed students looked at the rampaging man and backed away.
âPoor guyâŚâŚâ someone muttered.
âAhhhh!?â The royal student shouted out in rage. âOi! Who said that? Are you feeling sorry for me? Youâre nothing! Youâre not a noble! Do you still believe that crap! The demon lord of tyranny is Avos Dillheavia-sama!! Were you there at the war!?â
The students avert their eyes from him.
ââŚ.Letâs go.â
ââŚ..Yeah.â
The white clothes ignore the man and leave the classroom to start the exam.
ââŚ.OiâŚâŚ. What are you looking at ArnosâŚâŚ?â
The man focuses on me trying to pick a fight and Sasha starts to intervene but I tell her itâs fine.
Sasha steps back behind me with her dissatisfaction evident on her face.
âWhat? You may have gained the favour of the old seven demon emperors but who the hell are you to pretend to be the demon king? Haa!? Youâre a misfit! Itâs ridiculous!!â
âIâve already told you all itâs your choice whether to believe it or not.â (Arnos)
âAnd Iâm saying I donât like it. You looking down on us! If youâre the demon lord of tyranny then kill me! Hey! I said kill me!! You canât do it can you? Aah? Aaaah!?â
I stare coldly at him and he stiffens his whole body as if bracing himself.
âDoes trash like you really think you are worth this ones time?â (Arnos)
The royal looks at me in frustration and bites his lip.
âHow long are you going to throw a childish tantrum in front of me? No one is bothered about you. Why would the demon king of tyranny give you special treatment? Killing you as a miserable wretch will not make you a hero either. You are nothing but a mere mazoku that can be found anywhere.â (Arnos)
His face took on a hopeless expression and he looked like he was about to burst into tears.
âIf you want to die then do it on your own. Decide your death with your own will. Itâs nothing but a bother to have to have someone elseâs despairing life in my hands.â (Arnos)
ââŚ..IâŚâŚ.â
With no words to reply with the man just looked down.
âSoon word about the demon king of tyranny will spread throughout Deiruheido.â (Arnos)
The man twitched at my words.
âI am not kind enough to save a spoilt child. Suffer as you will until you realise that all your pain is caused by your old self.â (Arnos)
Leaving the broken man behind I head to a corner of the classroom.
As I head over I hear the broken words of someone unable to face reality.
ââŚ.DefinitelyâŚ.. You werenât thereâŚâŚ Avos DillheaviaâŚâŚ DefinitelyâŚâŚ.â
Without caring in the slightest I look at the girls from the fan union.
âHmmmmâŚâŚ Which route is the closestâŚ.?â
âItâs no further than Azeshion and thereâs not much danger so this route is probably the bestâŚ..?â
âBut itâs an expedition exam right?â
The girls had an opened map in front of them and were trying to find the best way to get to the Risharis grasslands.
âYou donât need that map. You can come with us to the Risharis grasslands.â (Arnos)
When I spoke the girls turned around startled.
âWhat? Errrm?â
âButâŚ..â
âIs that okay!?â
The girls looked at me with a mixture of anticipation and surprise.
âBecause your power may be necessary.â (Arnos)
When I held out my hand the girls gasped then quickly reined themselves in and gave guarded looks at each other.
For some reason, the air suddenly felt like conflict could kick off at any minute.
ââŚâŚOkay? Eight parts. Eight equal parts right?â
âI knowâŚâŚ.!â
âBut we can choose the part we want right?â
I have absolutely no idea what they are on about.
The girls watched each other to see what they would do.
A few seconds later one of them stepped forward boldly.
âYes! Me! Me! Thumb!â
âThen little finger!â
âForefinger!â
âMiddle finger is good!â
âRing fingeeeeer!!!â
âPalm!â
âBack of the hand! No one touches that part often so itâs definitely valuable!â
âYou guys forgot the wrist!â
The girls gathered around my hand with exquisite positioning and grabbed my hand.
âWhat are you doing?â I asked Sasha and the others who were looking at us with opened mouths and blank stares.
âWhat are we doing? Were dumbfounded thatâs whatâŚâŚ.â (Sasha)
Sasha comes over and takes my hand.
The others come over and take each otherâs hands. Misha takes Sashaâs other hand while Zeshia takes Mishaâs other hand and so on.
