The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 523

Chapter 523:

A Letter in the War.

At the present time, when the great magic of mass teleport must be used for supply, letters belong to a fairly luxurious supply.

Even so, letters arrive at regular intervals.

A letter to the soldiers on the battlefield asking how their families are doing will be of great help in boosting morale, and it can boost their fighting spirit by reminding them of the people they need to protect.

Of course, as it is a large army, the number of letters asking for regards may be so large that the supply of other important items will be disrupted.

As usual, it is.

Unfortunately, most of the soldiers lost their families to whom they had to send their regards.

That’s why the number of letters arriving is small, and ironically, the volume isn’t that large, so the General Headquarters can deliver letters at least occasionally.

After Lanian Sesor’s performance, Heinrich headed to Lind’s barracks.

Letters were already sorted by recipient.

In the barracks were Conno Lindt, Heinrich Klipmann and Erhi de Lafaeri.

Cliffman, as usual, looked at the letters that came to him one by one with a cold expression.

“What about Kaier?”

At Lint’s question, Erhi shrugged.

“He must be hugging the pylon. You must see that you can’t come. He said he would sleep there today.”

A large-scale magic storage type artifact called the Arc Crystal.

Although Rdina mistreats him every day, Kaier is also responsible for the only thing he can do.

Although we say we are sorry for each other, it does not mean that we do not do what we need to do.

It’s just that we have no choice but to hate each other even though we know that hating each other in an unavoidable situation is not the answer.

Although they are the best duo, they hate each other.

“Then I will deliver this to you.”

Kono Lint held up several letters from Kaier and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

– Poof!

There was no letter in the hand of Kono Lint who appeared again out of thin air.

He had moved to the Ark Crystal and handed over the letter.

“Oh, you’ve grown so much.”

At Erhi’s words, Kono Lint grinned.

“I was a little bit older. Even if you think for yourself.”

At Kono Lint’s words, both Erhi and Heinrich laughed.

It’s not like the old days.

Beyond the days when only naked teleport was possible. Now, the penalty for Kono Lint’s ability is gone.

“Anyway, you are the most this time too.”

At Lint’s words, Heinrich sat down.

Most of the letters were addressed to Heinrich.

A bit odd, so many.

Most of the letters here are not from family.

Kono Lint, Erhi, and Cliffman.

Since all of their hometowns have disappeared due to the Gate incident, there are no letters from their families.

Not all of them confirmed their deaths with their own eyes, but at some point, they had to admit that they were not in this world.

Sadness and anger about it are dormant in the heart, but they are not brought out.

However, letters are placed in front of Erhi, Kono Lint, and Cliffman.

Among them, most arrived at Heinrich.

Erhi smiles with his arms crossed.

“Of course, the person who saved the most people among us gets the most letters.”

This was a letter from the people they saved.

“No, I saved a lot too, right? It’s hard to kill monsters, and no one can follow me in the rescue operation.”

Erhi giggled at Kono Lint’s words.

“I know that, but it’s only natural that seeing a group of monsters burn and die right in front of you is more shocking. People don’t even know you’ve been rescued because you move so fast. Wouldn’t Heinrich be more amazing than that?”

Kono Lint sighs and picks up an envelope.

“… … Not really. Chet.”

In the Royal Class Garrison, Heinrich is the person who receives the most letters.

not Ellen.

There are too many letters to Ellen in the first place, so they don’t even deliver them.

If Ellen receives it, she will not be able to read it all, and if she starts shipping it, it will disrupt the transport of other supplies. Even at the mail delivery office, there is a warning message attached saying that letters addressed to Ellen cannot be sent.

So Heinrich, who was famous next to Ellen, had no choice but to receive the most letters.

[Hello Heinrich. I don’t know if you remember, but it’s Seria. You rescued me from Aristol about last year. I sent a letter last time, but I don’t know if you received it.]

To be honest, Heinrich can’t remember the faces of the people he saved.

because there were too many

But when it comes to the area they are referring to, what Heinrich did in that area and how many people died there. I can only vaguely remember how many people I saved.

The senders of the letters are children, adults, and soldiers who once worked together with Heinrich.

Letters from soldiers are mostly those who can no longer participate in battle. Those who suffered fatal injuries and were crippled because they were not treated in time.

They send a letter wishing Heinrich well.

There are those who do not end with a one-time regards letter, but send letters periodically.

I don’t know their faces, but Heinrich remembers their names.

I can’t afford that right now, but when I was active in the ecliptic, I sometimes took time to send a reply.

The contents were all different, but in the end, they were all letters expressing gratitude and wishing well for Heinrich.

Heinrich tends to read at least all the letters that have been addressed to him.

When he sees so many deaths that he sometimes wonders what all this means, these letters tell Heinrich that his work has never been meaningless.

That’s why, just as they find hope in Heinrich, Heinrich finds hope in these letters.

that I can live somehow

that you can survive somehow.

So Heinrich reads the letter with a solemn expression.

Kono Lint and Erhi read all the letters that arrived.

In the early days of entering Erhi, his physical strength was slightly better, but he was not a person who did his part.

but talent.

Only a very few people with talent can enter the Royal Class.

Talent is rare.

In addition to the growth enhancer called Moonshine, Erhi had no choice but to accumulate vast practical experience.

As a result, Erhi de Lafaeri was equipped with combat abilities and divine power comparable to that of the high-ranking Paladins of the Holy Knights.

They are talented people who have been picked and picked from all over the continent.

Perhaps it is only natural that such talented people grow so quickly. It is perhaps even inevitable that someone achieves in a short period of time a level that can only be reached after decades of painstaking efforts.

Even within the royal class, the growth rate of Erhi, who became a high-ranking paladin in just a few years, is rather normal.

Compared to Ellen and Reinhardt, no one’s growth rate is too slow. Those two are different beings compared to someone in the first place.

Because one is a warrior and the other is a demon king.

Excluding those two, there are a few people who grow too fast even within the royal class.

A prime example of that is guys like Cliffman and B-11 Ludwig, who received the second most letters after Heinrich.

They were the two who had awakened to strengthening their magical powers on their own before the gate crisis broke out. With Moonshine’s assistant equipped, the two of them are already talented people who have reached the bottom of the master class.

The two possessed such refined strength and mana management abilities that they could probably reach a master class before the end of the year.

There is also a case like Delphine Izadra, who has awakened a completely new power, spiritism.

Even in the case of Scarlett, if not to the extent of Ludwig and Cliff, she was evaluated as a top-notch force.

Cliffman read all the letters with a stern expression on his face, and put them in his bosom.

“I’ll go.”

When Cliffman tries to leave the barracks, Lint speaks into the back of his head.

“Hey, by the way, how long are you going to operate alone? It used to be that way, but now it moves with the military. There are limits even to single action.”

“… … .”

At Lint’s call, Cliffman stood still and fell silent.

After a while, Cliffman speaks briefly.

“Alone is better.”

“No matter how confident you are. You really die after that.”

“well… … .”

Only Cliff muttered quietly.

“Because it always worked out somehow. Something will happen in the future.”

Cliffman left the barracks with such bizarre words. Kono Lint smiled bitterly at the entrance to the barracks where Cliffman had left.

“I’m afraid I’ll die in a really harsh place… … .”

“Leave it alone. I think his talent is also superpower.”

At Kono Lint’s words, Erhi let out a deep sigh.

“I think so, but… … .”

Cliffman of fighting talent.

The purpose of talent is to win.

Winning at any cost is a function of the gift of combat.

“Even if it’s like me, I think it’s scary to lead a unit if all the members of the unit die and only come back alive several times.”

“That’s it, but… … .”

Combat is always variable.

Unexpected situations may occur, and there are also experiences of meeting too many enemies than expected and too unreasonable enemies.

During the long and long time to deal with the gate incident, there were countless units that were killed because they could not handle the variable.

Cliffman also dealt with the Gate incident, killing many monsters and saving many people.

And I’ve been in a lot of unexpected situations.

Members of the unit who accompanied or sometimes led were massacred. There were even strategies that accompanied the master class.

There were times when he faced enemies with heavy amulets, and there were times when he encountered enemies that were too strong.

Cliffman faced situations where he had to die several times.

But each time, Cliffman somehow survived.

Even in a situation where those much stronger than himself were killed and butchered, Cliffman managed to survive alone by crushing, tearing, and crushing those monsters.

Opinions differ as to who killed the most monsters.

It might be Ellen, it might be Saviolin Tana, it might be Ludina.

But if you ask who has done the most miracles, the answer is always Cliff, not Ellen.

Ellen and Cliffman always seemed to win.

But the process is different.

Ellen has always been stronger than her enemies.

Enemy attacks could not pierce Ellen, and Ellen’s void sword always easily tore through the monsters’ fabric.

But Cliffman is different.

Cliffman has often encountered enemies stronger than himself and beyond his ability to handle.

won nonetheless.

He always returned with the disastrous outcome of victory in his hands.

However, there were several times when the colleagues I was with could not return.

That’s why Cliffman started moving alone from some point on.

If winning somehow is your talent, and if that talent only protects your life.

I wonder if there is no need to go with someone.

If some supernatural power that has already surpassed the level of talent is the talent of this battle, throw yourself into any battlefield alone, always winning somehow.

I’ll bring you victory no matter what.

So you don’t need a colleague.

That was Cliffman’s argument.

Of course, the imperial family and the general headquarters believed in the supernatural power and did not really throw Cliff anywhere. It might be to invest certain power in uncertain power and let it die.

That’s why Cliffman goes alone.

It’s important to always do what you can do with your ability, but Cliffman somehow manages to do what you can’t do with your ability.

Cliffman returns after somehow resolving the situation on the battlefield where even strong men who cannot compare with him die.

Everyone in the royal class agreed that Cliffman had an unusual talent among them.

Of course, everyone watching Cliff clearly felt the melancholy and despair as if he was carrying death on his shoulders.

Cliffman returns to his barracks and Heinrich reads the letters left to him.

Everyone had already read all the letters addressed to me, so Kono Lint and Erhi were both talking.

“What should I name my child?”

“… … What bullshit are you talking about?”

“No, there is a kid who sends letters every month. obviously you like me I can’t remember the face, but it must be a girl.”

“… … What do you want me to say?”

“Shall we ask to see you after the war? If I reply to meet you, will you meet me?”

“I should have met you… … . Why don’t you change as a person?”

“They say people die if they change carelessly.”

Kono Lint still has the same corner as before.

Even while reading the letter, he could hear such a conversation, so Heinrich giggled as he read the letter.

Wouldn’t it be rather good in this situation that the old immature appearance remains?

Suddenly, Heinrich sees that only one last letter remains.

It was a strange letter.

Most of the letters had the sender’s name written on them. And most of them had names Heinrich couldn’t remember.

The addressee is Heinrich von Schwarz.

but the caller.

[From a friend.]

It said friend.

Heinrich has no friends outside of this garrison.

Tilting his head, Heinrich opened the envelope.

With the feeling that it was sent by someone claiming to be their friend.

However, upon seeing the contents, Heinrich widened his eyes.

It’s not about thanking you for saving me.

It’s not even about explaining what kind of friend you are.

[Your brothers will kill you.]

There was only that one line written in the letter.
