âFumu. So thatâs why the entrance disappeared?â (Arnos)
âBut we donât have time for classes, do we?â (Sasha)
Ray stepped in front of the doorway that had been turned into a wall.
âLetâs give it a try.â (Ray)
Ray draws a magic circle and takes out the unique sword Sigshesta before facing the wall and stepping forward.
âFuhaa!â (Ray)
Sigshesta flashes and in the space of one beath four trails of light can be seen.
Ray stares at the wall in front of him.
âI cut it butâŚâŚâ (Ray)
Ray pushes the rectangular area he had cut out which fell through into the other side.
âWhatâs this?â Sasha asks in a surprised voice.
The other side of the cut was pure white. There had been a long flight of stairs leading up but now there was nothing. As far as the eye could see was nothing but pure white.
âMagic space?â Misha mutters
âLooks like it. They must have quarantined the classroom so you canât leave during class.â (Arnos)
That doesnât mean you canât try to get out though.
I look at the white space with my demon eyes.
As soon as I did a crack appeared in the pure white space.
A tearing sound could be heard and suddenly a red spear appeared and thrust out.
Ray who was the closest to it jumped back and dodged it.
ââŚ.What the?â (Ray)
Ray stared at the tip of the red spear that was almost touching his nose.
The broken space around the spear cracked even further.
The crack widened and the magical space shattered, making a sound like shattered glass.
With the white veil lifted, the outside of the classroom had returned to its original wooden interior revealing a man who was thrusting the spear out.
He had short cropped hair, a stern appearance, and a large eye patch that covers about half of his face.
Fumu. Another familiar face. Canât be a coincidence.
âEven youâre here Dark King Ejes. Donât tell me all four of the evil royals are here in this spirit school?â (Arnos)
Ejes withdrew his spear and absorbed it into a magic formation before turning to me with a sharp look on his face.
âI see you havenât changed one bit after your reincarnation Demon King Arnos.â (Ejes)
âFumu. I havenât changed?â (Arnos)
âUnderestimating the gods and overestimating your own power. It will trip you up one of these days.â Ejes says in a serious voice as he gives me frank advice.
âAnd youâre as nagging as ever. You mean since I have the child of god under my command I should get rid of them right?â (Arnos)
âIt is unavoidable. Otherwise, if you just stand by and watch you will only increase your casualties.â (Ejes)
*Kuhahaha* I laugh at the dark kingâs words.
âUnfortunately, Iâm not willing to make that sacrifice, even with the Gods as my opponent.â (Arnos)
âAn arrogant thought. Donât you understand that if you donât make sacrifices, there will only be more sacrifices?â (Ejes)
The dark king Ejes turns his eye to Misha and Sasha who both braced themselves.
âI have no intention of making trouble while in class. Thereâs already enough trouble here without me adding to it.â (Ejes)
Finishing his piece Ejes heads over to his seat.
âDark King. When did join forces with the scarlet monument king and the curse king?â (Arnos)
âYou could see it as the act of a spirit.â (Ejes)
Giving out a deliberately mysterious answer the dark king sits down.
âThere.â Misha points to an empty stump seat.
As she pointed a black mist appeared and from within it, a man appeared.
It was a mazoku with six horns growing from his head. Heâs not even interested in us, heâs just staring blankly in front of him.
âIâm assuming thatâs also one of the four evil royals?â (Sasha)
âAah. Curse King Kaihiram Jiste.â (Arnos)
It was his subordinate that had half of the demon sword and is the candidate most likely to know whatâs going on with Shin.
However, in the case of the curse king, it is a little difficult to get things out of him by force.
âYouâre not going to talk to him?â (Sasha)
âFumu. I guess. Letâs go.â (Arnos)
I walk over to the curse king.
âItâs been a while Kaihiram.â (Arnos)
The curse king looked at me vaguely as I spoke to him but doesnât answer back.
âOh, I see. Itâs Jiste at the moment?â (Arnos)
He smiles at me now.
âOh, I was thinking of you and you appeared demon king Arnos-sama. Its been 2000 years.â (Jiste)
The voice of the curse king had no hostility in it at all. He spoke like a woman and at the moment his heart is truly female.
âHows Kaihiram?â (Arnos)
âHeâs gone off again and hasnât come back at all. Itâs troublesome really. His wanderlust takes over and he leaves his lover behind.â (Jiste)
âI see. By the way, what are you doing here?â (Arnos)
âStudying. Iâve got nothing to do until Kaihiram-sama returns. What about you Arnos-sama?â (Jiste)
âIâm looking for someone. My subordinate Shin. Have you seen him?â (Arnos)
