The Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha Shijou Saikyou
chapter 43's

A while later at the academy of the demon lord Deruzogedo.

"With that note, I have something for all of you to say. The Deiruheido demon sword tournament will be held soon and excellent students from this school can also enter. First-year students are rarely recommended but there are students in this class who are recommended. ”

The classroom became noisy hearing Emilia's words.

"Who is this?"

“Idiot. There was only one person here who could go to the demon sword tournament. "

Emilia watched the students chatting with a relaxed look.

“The candidate is Ray Grandori-kun. Congratuations. As a student of Deruzogedo, I expect great achievements. ”

Emilia started clapping and the other students followed.

Ray did not look enthusiastic, but he kept smiling.

“He might win the championship. After all, he was the demon sword saint. ”(1)

"Aah. He had completely mastered those seven old demon emperors. ”

"If the winner of the demon sword tournament comes from our class, we can all be proud."

Since they knew Ray's abilities with the sword, words about winning roamed around.

"And one more person."

When Emilia says that the classroom is getting noisier.

"…….Other people…….? Is there anyone else in this class who can enter the demon sword tournament? ”

“Do not think so. There was Sasha-sama who was also from the chaos generation but she did not use a sword. ”

“……… .There's also. There was a man who could defeat even Ray with a sword ... ”

"That guy, huh ..."

All the students' eyes were staring at me.

“Arnos Voldigod-kun's. You also entered the demon sword tournament. As a disciple of Deruzogedo, please do not fight in such a humiliating manner. ”

At that moment a shrill scream came from the classroom.

“THU CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME! THE ERA OF ARNOS-SAMA IS HERE !! ”

"If Arnos-sama has been included then hasn't it already won?"

"Yes! Not only would he win but he would end up in the hall of fame! "

"What am I doing? I'm nervous"

"Why are you nervous?"

“We must make the troops cheer for Arnos-sama! Arnos-sama cannot fight alone! ”

My fan union raised its voice.

"What the hell is going on? I have never heard of white clothes entering a demon sword tournament. ”

"Yes. Even for regular or special participants, mixed blood should be checked first and rejected. ”

"No matter how strong Arnos is, what does the academy head think?"

Some nobles expressed their dissatisfaction.

Without bothering to explain, Emilia continued to speak.

"To participate in the demon sword tournament you need your own sword so please prepare for it. I'm sure you know the rules but you can't trade your sword along the way. If your sword is broken or broken, you will lose. It is forbidden to use magic to injure an opponent. You fight only with your sword. There are more detailed rules, so please check with the official in charge of this tournament. "

I'm seeing. Fighting with your own sword, huh?

With this, the key to winning is not just your own skill but the performance and endurance of your demonic sword.

"That's it. Class is dissolved."

Finished speaking, Emilia left the classroom and all the students started packing to go home.

"I hope we're the couple who met in the final." Ray said as he leaned back in his chair and turned his head towards me.

"Let's settle our dispute properly the next time with our sword"

"I totally agree. I want to do it until I'm satisfied. "

Ray smiled with satisfaction.

"However, some couples may be a problem."

"I don't think you'll be defeated."

Ray stood up and turned around.

“But why was I recommended to the sword tournament? Do they think I'll win? ”

Ray couldn't answer that question. When it came to royalty and mixed races he basically did not understand.

“The nobles should not want mixed races to win the tournament. They should have jumped on my descent and banned my entry but instead, mixed races had been included. Creatures that normally cannot enter. ”

I need to think about the motive behind this.

"It's weird, okay."

Misa says come to us.

"Do you know anything?"

"No and to go that far ...... However, I'm sure I know a well-informed person whom you might have to talk to if you want answers."

A knowledgeable person?

"Who?"

"The person I spoke to yesterday and promised you could meet. One of the seven old demon emperors, Melheys-sama. ”

That reminds me, he did make such a promise.

"Where is he?"

“In our unity tower. I know this all of a sudden but one of his plans failed and he is free at the moment. If it's convenient you want to go now? "

"Yes." Yeah."

"thank you. Lefs go. ”

We left the classroom and headed to the Arnos fan union tower.

After entering and approaching the 2nd floor I began to hear happy voices.

“Come start support song Arnos-sama! Jyanjyanjyan ♪ "

"strongest! In history! Arnos-sama ～ ♪ Instant death with beautiful sword ～ ♪ ”

"Kill, kill, want to be killed ～ ♪ Want to rust on his sword ～ ♪"

"The fight figure is beautiful ～ ♪ Arnos-same loving ～ ♪"

"Please dear in bed ～ ♪ His male sword pierces the sky ～ ♪"

"Kill, kill, want to fall ～ ♪ Want to rust on his sword ～ ♪"

"Arnos-sama ♪ With his male sword ♪ Unlimited spreading his mixed blood ～ ♪"

"World without royalties ♪ Is the only solution ～ ♪"

"Kill, kill, want to fall ～ ♪ Instant death with beautiful sword ～ ♪

Fumu's. Let's pretend we didn't hear anything.

Waita minute. The group that cheered just said they needed to make a supporting song so how was the song done?

I think this might be something I shouldn't think too deeply about. Should I just put it in daily training?

I continued to climb to the top floor, trying to get the lyrics out of my brain but failed.

"Melheys-sama, I've brought Arnos-sama."

Waiting in the half-sword room was an old man with a long gray mustache, wearing a robe and leaning on a stick.

Melheys Boran, one of the seven old demon emperors.

Judging from the wavelength of his magic power, he must be one of my mazoku I created.

He is different from Aivis and Idol. He has the power to defeat powerful veterans of the mythical age.

Melheys slowly walked towards me, activated her demonic eyes and looked into my eyes.

A few seconds later a drop of tears streamed down his face and he knelt down in front of me.

"I've been waiting all this time for the reincarnation of my master the demon king, Arnos Voldigod-sama."

Fumu's. Here, I don't expect.

"Do you remember me Melheys?"

Melhey shook her head.

"I don't have that kind of honor. I was defeated by someone and my memories were erased but as long as I remember you. After meeting you I was finally sure. "

Just like Aivis and the others.

"I want to check myself."

"Your wish."

I put my hand on Melhey's head and activated Time Manipulation and Recollection .

I explored the outer layers of memory and just like Aivis and the others his memory was lost.

Next, I looked into the abyss and confirmed Melhey's origin.

Just one.

Melheys does not seem to have joined one of Avos Dillheavia's subordinates. His body has not been taken over.

"What do you know?"

“2000 years ago after Arnos-sama reincarnated I was attacked by someone and my memory was erased. When I regained consciousness, I found myself in Ahartherun. ”

The great spirit forest?

"Have you crossed the wall?"

2000 Years ago Deiruheido and Ahartherun were separated by a magic wall.

"Maybe. My memory of it is unclear but I think I used the wall as a way to escape from whoever attacked me. "

Even though that wall was a majestic magic that used my life force to activate, mazoku from the mythical age with powerful magic and quite desperate can cross the walls though with significant risk to their lives.

I can only think of 20 people from the mythical age who could do that and even the compensation would be huge.

"I assume they didn't follow you because crossing the wall to chase you will use up most of their magic power and it will take quite a long time for their power to return before they can return to Deiruheido."

“That's what I believe. It took over a hundred years to recover my magic power to a level where I could cross back into the wall. ”

Unlike Aivis, Melheys had enough strength to cross the wall. Removing his memories was one thing but it would be extremely difficult to take over the origin.

“When I returned to Deiruheido, the name of the tyrannical demon king had changed to Avos Dillheavia. Although I have no memory, I cannot erase the false sense of the name. The other seven old demon emperors don't seem to doubt the name of Avos Dillheavia but I have always doubted until now ”

"Is that turning into trust now?"

“Indeed already. Just so I say that you are a true demon king. "

There are no strange points in the story of Melheys. I also learned that Avos Dillheavia existed from the time of the myth.

There were a lot of people who were hostile towards me 2000 years ago but there were 3 beings who possessed extraordinary strength.

The heroine of the Canon, the great spirit of Reno and the god of creation Militeia.

They 3 helped me build the wall and they all sought peace, however, it is not strange to think that they would consider me unnecessary in peacetime.

Will they do something wrong?

I don't think any of them want the throne of a tyrannical demon king.

Is this someone else's job?

"Do you know what Avos Dillheavia is planning?"

"I'm not."

Well, unexpected. There are limits to what you can do fighting alone without allies.

"Report it back to me if you find anything."

"Your wish."

As expected, it was only possible to follow the trail when it was close.

"Let me ask you something else. Do you know the purpose of the person who recommended me for the sword tournament? "

Melheys thought for a moment before answering.

"Did Arnos-sama know the royal faction?"

"Is it different from nobles?"

Melheys nodded.

"The "royal faction is a group that wants to expand the rights of the royal family. They made a radical claim that if you are not the king of pure blood then you are not my mazoku. ”

Fumu's. The group with some screws loose like him.

“There are many royal factions in Deruzogedo. I think this is the work of one of them. "

"What is the purpose of recommending me?"

“That may be a check against the unification fraction. Arnos-sama is the main topic of conversation between the unification faction and the royal faction as you trample the school system. Arnos-sama is mixed blood yet no kingdom or even one of the seven old demon emperors can stand up for you. You have become the driving force of the unification faction and the royal faction is interested in you now. "

"In other words, by defeating me in the demon sword tournament it would damage the momentum of the unification faction?"

Melheys nodded in agreement.

"The royal faction can't seem to ignore you right now. As long as Arnos-sama gets involved, the moment you win the tournament, the unification faction will tighten its ties. There are more mixed-blooded mazoku than royalties. The royal faction is afraid of mixed blood. ”

“Although so, I'm not a fool. They intend to beat me by any means in the tournament. ”

Melheys face showed a stern expression.

"Sorry Arnos-sama, but can you not participate in the demon sword tournament?"

"Why?"

“For you, it's a trivial thing but for the unification faction, Arnos-sama is their light. We can't turn off the lights. "

Melheys is a unification faction.

He might consider that Avos Dillheavia would probably make a move during the tournament as well.

In essence, he did not think well of the nobles who ruled Deiruheido.

"I didn't mean to stab the royal faction."

"You're gonna win. No matter what happens, I can never see you lose, however, you might win this one match but you might not win the entire match.

I'm seeing.

"Are they going to beat me by using the rules?"

"It may look funny but even if you achieve overall victory, as long as you lose even one match that will be enough for the royal faction ……… .."

Those who put their blood above their abilities.

No wonder they took such action.

“The problem is, even if I refuse I don't think they will cancel the recommendation. They might say I tried to escape. ”

“We will do something after that if we don't perform in the game. I beg for your kindness. "

He was one of the seven old demon emperors. He has the power to do that.

Yare yare's. It's become a problem.

Well, that doesn't mean I'm really bothered if I'm in a tournament or not.

"I'll think about it."

"Thank you very much."

Melheys looked down deeply.
