The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 391
Chapter 391
We are treated as special students in the royal class.
Originally, it wasn’t just the major classes on days when there were major classes, but she canceled all other classes and received combat training from Saviolin Tana all day long. I was told not to worry because it is not a situation to discuss grades, but that part will be taken care of.
Me and Ellen sparred with each other, but in the end, I also sparred with Saviolin Tana.
Alsbringer definitely increased my ability to a greater extent when dealing with Saviolin Tana.
It didn’t make me a sword master though.
I really liked Alsbringer’s basic ability, which says that the stronger the opponent, the stronger I become.
They stole the main character’s exclusive cheat.
And the problem that Tana pointed out.
When dealing with Saviolin Tana, my physical ability increased so drastically that I couldn’t control my steps, so I often got stronger and became a problem.
“Uuuuuuuuuu!”
“careful!”
– Knock!
“Kek!”
She rushed at me, but when I couldn’t do anything and got my feet twisted on my own and tried to fall off, she grabbed me by the collar and made me sit properly.
I thought about whether I would win if I dealt with Ellen in the same state as I was with Saviolin Tana, but it was meaningless.
It’s clear that this mess will end worse than before.
I stared at the Alsbringer in my right hand.
“… … .”
“Don’t feel ashamed. It’s only natural that you’re not used to things you’ve never used before.”
You have to get used to gaining a level of physical ability that goes beyond your level.
It is a sacred object that grants a very powerful but vague buff that says that the stronger the opponent, the stronger I become. That’s why it’s important to properly recognize how much my body’s ability has been strengthened and control my body.
It’s a strong power, but if you can’t control it, there might come a situation where it’s better not to use Alsbringer.
“Let’s try again.”
“yes.”
I don’t know if I’ll have to draw out Alsbringer’s true power later on.
However, Alsbringer itself is already a very powerful artifact.
I must get used to this power.

Saviolin Tana trained us in many ways.
Ellen and my sparring.
Then, he personally sparred with Ellenna one-on-one.
After the feedback session, I taught the pincer attack.
I’ve never beaten Ellen, and of course I’ve never beaten Saviolin Tana, and neither have pincers.
However, Tana, who was not familiar with teaching, was by no means someone who could not teach.
And that wasn’t all.
“I will tell you about the course of action when isolated in a field situation.”
She not only taught me how to survive in combat, but also how to survive in combat, such as guerrilla warfare and how to survive when isolated behind enemy lines.
This should have been taught in the same way in the Temple Combat Major class, which has now been changed to combat training.
Of course, that’s not her role. However, since the situation in which Ellen and I were being educated by her was itself a confidential matter, Saviolin Tana was just playing the role of teacher from one to ten.
I learned things like how to infiltrate enemy lines, how to bypass magical barriers, and how to act in uncharted territory.
The two of us learned about things like single-survival and factor assassination rather than operating with someone.
That’s what being a warrior is, after all.
An assassin who infiltrates the enemy camp and cuts off the head of the enemy general.
In fact, what Lagann Artorius did was not very different from that. So Saviolin Tana was teaching us not as soldiers, but as assassins.
“Of course, it is possible that the Demon King is secretly moving not in the Dark Land, but in the Human Continent. And even if you find him, you can escape by teleporting. In that case, I will teach you about street fighting soon.”
Saviolin Tana seemed to have a lot to teach us, including how to find enemies hiding in human cities.
It’s not just about learning swordsmanship.
But somehow.
If you know about hunting, you will naturally have no choice but to learn how to escape.
Soon I was learning, after all, not how to hunt, but how to escape.

Where eternal winter reigns.
Vampire Council.
“How is Antirianus going?”
“As it is a very high-level magic, it will take time to design it, but the wizards of the order are very good. It doesn’t look like it will take too long.”
To Elerith’s question, Antirianus answered like that.
The construction of dungeons and labyrinths in the Dark Land was proceeding smoothly. The Black Order as well as Antirianus were very interested in the magic book called Quantum Maze. It was truly magic that fit the current situation and purpose.
“It was interesting. How did you get such a powerful magic book?”
“It is difficult to answer.”
“Hehe, you don’t trust me too much.”
At Antirianus’ sad attitude, Elerith sighed heavily. The moment he learned about the underground library of the castle, he couldn’t share the location with someone who was likely to storm into it, and Elleris had no right to decide.
Recently, the Vampire Council has had frequent meetings. It was because of the cooperative relationship with the Demon King that the council meeting, which was held once every few years or more than a decade, was held so often.
“Did you get into Temple well, Lucienil?”
“huh.”
At Lluen’s question, Lucinil smiled and nodded. Lucinil left the temple after class and went straight to the council meeting by teleport.
“Isn’t it uncomfortable no matter how necessary it is? It must be hard.”
“Why is this suffering? Are you living surrounded by cute and cute kids?”
“… … You know, Lucynil? I sometimes don’t understand Lucinil more than Antirianus.”
“I feel very sorry for your dry sensibility of not being able to perceive cute things as cute.”
“Speak.”
When it comes to eccentricities, Lucinil is as good as Antirianus. Of course, it is true that Lucinil entered the Temple based on the agreement that close guards were needed, but when he said that such a thing was necessary, Lucinyl looked very happy.
“Anyway, don’t forget the original purpose of being a bodyguard.”
“You foolishly take care of yourself, you monster.”
“Who is the monster that comes out after shaking the flask a few times? It’s absurd.”
“Uh that… … . Those words really hurt me… … ?”
“You were the first to call me a monster.”
“It was… … . Sorry… … .”
As Lucinil sulked, Galarsh crossed his arms.
“I was also very talkative. apologize.”
When you live too long and get into trouble with arguing with each other, you learn to apologize quickly. As the atmosphere subtly stiffened, Galarsh looked at Lucinil with his large teeth snapping together.
“Yes, since you are under close guard, you must be well aware of the current situation. Are there any particular threats or problems? For now, we’re holding hands, but it’s not something that the Black Order might be plotting behind the scenes… … .”
“Oh right! Alsbringer!”
As if asking where his sullen expression had been, Lucinyl suddenly turned bright and jumped up from his seat.
“Our Archdemon! I was chosen by Alsbringer!”
She looked like a mother who was excited that her son got a job at a good place.
* * *
Of course, a panic, not a panic, flowed in the Council for a while. Even Antirianus was taken aback.
Tiamata and Alsbringer.
Valie has two holy relics.
In particular, Elleris was listening to the story with her eyes wide open.
Ellerith had told Valie that Alsbringer’s owner would be Ludwig.
It must have meant that the prediction was wrong or that the future had changed.
Or maybe.
Maybe Balie lied.
“That child. Whatever I do, I will do something big. If you don’t do it now, it’ll be weird.”
Being chosen for two sacred objects is in line with the meaning of the will of the gods. However, these are the ones who know the truth about the main god and the demon god. Humans know that the gods make choices for humans, but in reality this is not the case.
If the will of the gods existed, the will of the gods chose Valie.
“Maybe the gods are finally on the side of the demons.”
Lluen smiled faintly and said so. It was a smile that seemed to have no interest in humans or demons, even though it said so.
Since the holy relics have been on the side of humans for a long time, they might be on the side of the demons now.
Galarsh muttered with his massive arms crossed.
“I do not believe in the will of the gods. But having two holy relics… … . It feels like there is a certain huge flow and the demon king has no choice but to be the protagonist of that flow.”
Elleris stared at the table, unable to erase her sad eyes.
“It seems that the thing that killed the father ended up in the son’s hands.”
Antirianus said that with a smile as if he was having fun.
“as it were… … . Is that what you mean?”
Lucinil had a puzzled look on his face as if he hadn’t thought of that point of view at all.
“For some reason, your expression was a bit sour.”
Lucinil was recalling Reinhardt’s expression hardened to the utmost when Alsbringer was given to him.
Even if he liked it, he wondered why he was like that, and when he thought about it, he had no choice but to have that kind of expression, Lucinil understood.
Ellerith looked down at the table with a stern expression.
‘Alsbringer… … . decrease… … .’
Ellerith calmly watches the blizzard driving through the window beyond the meeting room.
I don’t know if I was wrong in predicting the future or if I lied in the first place.
Bali is going strong.
Are you getting stronger because the things you have to overcome with that strength are approaching?
Maybe because you’re getting stronger, things you have to overcome will arise.
Elleris did not know.

“You mean special activities?”
Sensei Sarvina sighed when he saw Olivia’s application for special activities.
“Yes, teacher.”
“It’s true that extracurricular activities are recognized starting from Olivia’s senior year, but haven’t you already been suspended for a year? My goal to graduate this year is… … .”
“There is nothing more to learn.”
Olivia Ranze’s words are not wrong. She gave up her major, so she changed her major to graduation to swordsmanship. However, for Olivia, whose divine power and swordsmanship were incomparable to those of average graduates in the first place, the class was, to put it mildly, a waste of time.
That’s why I decided that it’s good to accumulate experiences that can’t be accumulated inside the temple through outside activities, and that statement is more than arrogant, and it definitely makes sense.
“There may be cases where classes are accepted, but if the time is too long like last time, you may be forced to repeat the class.”
At Sarvina’s words, Olivia smiled brightly.
“Then it is rather good.”
Miss Sarvina couldn’t understand that, but she couldn’t seem to break Olivia’s will.
However, Sensei Sarvina tilted her head when she saw what was written on the special activity volunteer form sent by Olivia and where she was going.
“okay. It’s not that dangerous here, and the investigation team sent by the empire is always there, so it won’t be a big deal… … . Why the hell are you trying to go here?”
Olivia gently raised the corners of her mouth.
“I want to find traces of the demon king.”
Olivia’s destination.
Levi or the capital Lazierne.
It was the place where the demon king had attacked not long ago.
