The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 390

Chapter 390

Let’s get engaged. Because it doesn’t even matter if you’re married. To give Charlotte a temporary cause.

Not because he was afraid of Bertus’ power, but to prevent Charlotte’s aides from changing their minds.

I said it with the mindset of putting out an urgent fire. Charlotte looked up at me as she lay down and bit her lip.

“how… … . Why are you even doing this?”

Charlotte puts her hand on my cheek as I do.

Charlotte’s slightly cold body heat passed onto my cheek.

“I am the person you have to do this to… … . it’s not… … . you are not me… … .”

“It’s precious.”

“… … .”

“You are precious.”

There were so many emotions and thoughts swirling around like my head was about to explode, but all I could say was this.

“That’s it.”

This is a bad choice.

This choice only secures someone’s survival without making anyone happy. Will that be enough?

So, is it right to let Charlotte die?

Is this situation right, where you only choose the lesser evil rather than the worst because you don’t want to see that situation?

Seeing Charlotte finally say that, she starts to shed tears with her face distorted and her eyes tightly closed.

“Reinhardt… … . very very… … . thank you… … .”

Eventually, Charlotte sobbed.

“too… … . I’m sad… … .”

I was sad because I knew that I had made this choice to protect her, not because I loved her.

* * *

I couldn’t spend the night at the Spring Palace, so I went back to the temple. Of course, it was through the warp gate in the basement of the Spring Palace.

It wasn’t officially talked about, but I decided to get engaged to Charlotte.

I don’t know how to do it in any way. It was a promise between the two of them, Charlotte.

It felt like I had chosen the lesser evil answer in a situation where there were only wrong answers everywhere I went.

I was engaged, so I couldn’t decide this on my own.

Externally, I have to make a justification for how I, who is only a student of the Temple Royal class, can be appointed as the imperial family’s sire.

soon.

It should be known that I am the owner of Alsbringer. So just because I decided to do it didn’t mean that it would be possible right away.

That’s why I had no choice but to meet the most important person.

“engagement… … . I mean.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

If you look at the situation, it’s very pretentious.

It was because a guy from a commoner’s background requested a private meeting with the emperor and promised to be engaged to the princess.

But in reality, the Emperor tried to ask me this first, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it first.

Engagement, not marriage.

Perhaps trying to gauge the gap that arose in that place, the emperor was silently contemplating in front of me with his eyes closed.

“Can you afford it?”

I didn’t ask what I could afford.

But there were too many words in that one word.

Although it was directly requested by Bertus, it must have been that he could afford Bertus.

If it is disclosed to the public that he is the owner of Alsbringer, he may draw the attention of the demon king.

And to the tangled and ruined relationships with other people.

Although he risked his life for Charlotte the first time and the second time.

This time I have to risk my all.

life and everything.

It sounds like the same meaning, but in fact it has a completely different meaning to me.

Even Charlotte was rather saddened by my decision, but not happy. Because he seemed miserable about his situation.

“Yes, I can afford it.”

My heart was complicated, but the answer was simple.

I will protect Charlotte. This time, I’m going to pick up the whole thing with my own hands.

“thanks… … . Reinhardt.”

The second thank you from the emperor.

It must have been an honorable moment, but I didn’t feel very honored.

* * *

Talked to the emperor about the engagement.

Externally, I am still an ordinary student, but if the fact of my engagement to Charlotte is known, it will only become a bizarre scandal that a commoner is engaged to a princess.

The extent to which he is the new owner of Alsbringer needs to be known to pay off.

I don’t know how to go about this in detail, but it should be done before Charlotte becomes more dangerous than she is now. Once Charlotte was able to control her powers, she would be safe from physical attacks.

and.

I didn’t know how to explain this to the kids.

Not everyone will understand.

I don’t even think that you will be able to understand.

But I didn’t know how to explain this, so I couldn’t do this or that.

The only ones who still know about this are me, the emperor, and Charlotte.

If there were more, it would have been Bertus, who had made this proposal itself.

After the weekend, next week.

Saviolin Tana came out and called Ellen.

“As of now, I will be in charge of the major classes for the two of you.”

Ellen and I had the entire major class replaced.

We both expected it to some extent.

Although the major class has already been replaced by combat training, the real training for the two of us must be based on the use of the holy relic. I even got an Alsbringer.

Saviolin Tana, who was an interim superintendent, eventually took over as interim teacher. Just to teach both of us.

“When I have other business, another person will supervise your classes.”

“yes.”

“yes.”

I also thought that the reason why Tana felt like she was gradually moving away from her role as Charlotte’s bodyguard was because she was pushed out of the race for succession, but I wasn’t sure.

The place where we learned from Saviolin Tana was not the dormitory gymnasium.

“Originally, it is a facility that cannot be used recklessly, but you have been granted permission to use it. I will register you to enter the facility, so you can come here and train separately.”

Saviolin Tana took us to the Temple’s high combat training grounds.

it’s such a place

A combat training ground with the same system as the main stadium in the Temple Tournament. A training ground where the Recall Artifact is activated when the situation is on the verge of fatal injury even if you fight with all your strength.

It is a place with a setting that not everyone can use it because the construction cost is enormous and the maintenance cost is enormous. In fact, royal class only classes are not held here.

Unlike the main stadium, which was outdoors, we entered the training ground wearing artifacts, which are safety devices in the combat training ground.

Ellen summoned Alsbringer and Tiamata, who flew rament.

“… … .”

Saviolin Tana looked at me like that and put on a sobbing expression.

Anyway, I summoned both of them.

me.

Do I have to practice double swordsmanship now?

“… … It hurts.”

“I think so too.”

“I know.”

Ellen nodded as if agreeing.

“I’ve had two sacred relics in my life, and you’re the first to think about whether to use both or just one… … will not be Anyway, should I call this a lucky worry? … .”

While talking, she must have remembered the case of Lagann Artorius, and Tana looked at Ellen and corrected her words.

Even Saviolin Tanah seemed to have no idea whether she should do the bizarre double swordsmanship from now on, or whether she should choose and concentrate and use it while exchanging holy relics whenever necessary.

“Your doctor will be important. What do you plan to do?”

Tiamata and Alsbringer.

Both are very powerful artifacts.

Saviolin Tana seemed to be very negative about the dual swordsmanship. I want to use both, but I don’t want to learn from scratch after throwing away everything I’ve done so far.

Isn’t dual swordsman losing the freedom of the left hand rather than increasing the number of attack methods in the first place?

How can I not combine this into one bag?

I’ll change the name to something like Alstiamata, so why don’t we merge?

Of course, nothing like that happened.

I sent Tiamata back.

“I will do it as one. If I force myself to use both, I don’t think it will work either.”

“A wise decision, Reinhardt.”

If you try to change your body by forcing yourself to use what you have, you will end up ruining what you’ve built up until now.

First of all, it is important to experience Alsbringer’s basic abilities.

* * *

I didn’t set everything up, but the relic basically has two powers.

Basic abilities and true abilities.

In the case of Tiamata, it basically has very strong perm power. True power is being able to use enormous divine power at will. Although there is a special situation called Olivia’s help.

In the case of Rament, it has a similar effect to Aura Blade, and I don’t know the true effect yet.

In the case of Rapelt, I confirmed something similar to the Auror Armor the other day, and likewise, I do not know the true ability.

And Alsbringer.

The true power is to summon the war god.

– Kwakang!

“Oops!”

When Rament hit the Alsbringer I was swinging, Ellen took a half step back.

It happened even though the power gap between me and Ellen was still significant.

– Kang! Caang!

After several more swordfights, Ellen repeated to retreat.

Alsbringer’s real power is the avatar ability to summon the god of war, but Alsbringer doesn’t exist only for that.

Alsbringer’s basic effect is simple.

The stronger the enemy is stronger than me.

The more enemies I have to deal with, the more.

Makes the owner stronger.

It had a strong basic effect worthy of the name of the sword of the god of war.

Of course, it is just a setting created to easily create a situation where the main character defeats a stronger person than himself.

The Alsbringer I had heard from Ludwig for that setting is now in my hands.

of course.

As is usually the case with such settings, it cannot be invincible.

strengthen the owner.

That ambiguous word said that I eventually become stronger, but it does not mean that I will always win against a strong person stronger than me.

You said that the more enemies you have, the stronger you are. Where did you say it will help you win?

Of course, it may be possible to win, but there is a possibility that it will not.

It is a very powerful holy object, but in the end it is an ambiguous condition.

Because the ambiguous setting is convenient for writing.

– Cards!

Ellen’s rament roughs my sword but deflects it at a precise angle, coming in at an angle that pierces my throat.

– Phat!

And with him I was recalled off the training ground.

If it had been a real battle, no matter how much he strengthened his body with magic power, he would have been decapitated and died.

Ellen is much stronger than me.

That’s why even though Alsbringer made me that strong, I still couldn’t compete.

10 previous defeats.

“ha… … . ha… … .”

I almost passed out outside the training ground.

It is exhaustion.

If it was a real battle, he would have been killed ten times by Ellen.

“I can clearly feel the power of the sacred object. On average, I lasted more than 15 sums longer than usual.”

Saviolin Tana, who was watching the whole situation from outside the training ground, nodded silently. It seems like he was defeated as usual, but the frequency of pushing Ellen increased.

Returning to the waiting room, Ellen was drenched in sweat, with hair sticking to her forehead.

“it’s hard.”

The 10 fights were intense enough for Ellen to say such a thing.

“What about me who even lost?”

Ellen didn’t even use lapel. It means that if it was a real battle, it would not have been an opponent at all.

Is there any way to use Alsbringer and Tiamata at the same time? If you put it in something like a scabbard and fight while carrying one on your waist or back, would you be able to use both strengthening effects?

“Reinhardt, you often experience situations that increase your physical abilities, including enhanced psychic powers. So it’s not possible to accurately judge how much athletic ability you have every moment. That’s why there are often situations where you almost force yourself to push. On the contrary, there is a tendency to panic when the opponent is pushed away. You have to get used to how strong your physical abilities are under certain circumstances.”

Both Ellen and I were exhausted, so we sat side by side on the bench listening to Tana’s feedback.

“There is nothing wrong with Ellen.”

“thank you.”

no.

I only heard the feedback.

Saviolin Tana’s favoritism no longer exists.

Tana is not disappointed in me.

‘What should I say to Ellen? If I say too much to Reinhardt… … .’

‘I can’t deliberately say something to Ellen to tell Reinhardt not to die.’

‘What should I do?’

‘I want to praise you.’

I want to be partial, but I can’t.

It’s like that at the level of a high level, I even wrote a self-reinforcing holy object on the cheat called supernatural power and applied it.

Ellen also used Rament, but sharpness isn’t a huge advantage unless you have an unbreakable sword called Alsbringer in your hand. If you’re an aura blade wielder who can create magic waves from the sword itself, like Tana, it’s a different story. I will lose

Ellen, armed with all sorts of cheats, is just taking me down physically.

still.

“ha… … . ha… … .”

To see Ellen breathless and sweaty.

Something.

I felt like I was being followed.

No matter how bad the equipment is.

And whenever I saw Ellen, I felt uncomfortable on the other side.

Some kind of discomfort that should be called guilt.
