The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)
chapter-85-1

Ledoriano and the others head down into the dried-up lake.

“Oi…….you guys…….”

Diego speaks up, his voice barely hiding his surprise.

“It’s fine Diego-sensei. We’ll use that.” (Ledoriano)

“Wait. I won’t permit unauthorised use of that.” (Diego)

“You’re starting to look silly up there. Please be quiet.” Laos says while cracking his knuckles “Just watch. I’m going to beat him up good.”

Heine jumps down and Ledoriano and Laos follow him.

All the Jergakanon scarlet uniforms landed at the bottom of the lake.

“Wait. I haven’t authorised it. Do you think you can start this test without permission?” (Diego)

“We will now begin the interschool test between the hero academy Jergakanon class and the demon king academy 1st years Arnos group.”

It wasn’t Diego that made that announcement but Menou using <Liikus>.

“Keep the honour and pride of your ancestors and please fight fairly.” (Menou)

“Menou-sensei could you please refrain from mimicking me.” (Diego)

“Eh? Didn’t you say you’d permit this if they won the last match or are you trying to stop it because you are afraid you’ll lose?” (Menou)

“Not at all, but now the lake barrier is gone damage may occur to Gairadeite.” (Diego)

In the middle of Diego’s speech I developed a large scale anti-magic barrier over the whole lake.

“I’ve made it even safer than it was before.” I tell him via <Liikus>

“Fighting while deploying large scale magic makes puts our students at quite the disadvantage. Even with this handicap are you still trying to escape?” (Menou)

Diego glares at Menou whos openly provoking him.

“Do what you want.” (Diego)

Diego talks to Jergakanon via <Liikus>

“Oi Ledoriano. You know what the purpose is right? You absolutely have to win. Put that condescending mouth of yours to work.” (Diego)

“Understood.” (Ledoriano)

<Liikus> is cut off.

“Now then.” (Arnos)

I develop another magic circle.

“And I asked you to save a portion for me.” Sasha complains next to me.

“I’m sure those fellows said the same thing.” (Arnos)

I develop another <Geo Greys> on the same scale as the last one.

A huge jet black sun was launched pouring down and burning the underwater city.

“Four Genus Barrier Seal <De Igeria>”

Four huge magic formations appear to the north, east, south and west of the city with each one representing the different elements of water, fire, earth and wind.

The four formations activate as anti-magic and synergistically amplify each other dampening the power of <Geo Greys> as it approaches.

A loud crackling sound can be heard as the two collide followed by a raging storm from the aftermath of the two powers meeting.

At that moment a figure jumped and a vertical light appeared.

The jet back sun is cut in two by that vertical light before quickly disappearing.

The figure of the person who cut <Geo Greys> landed on the ground.

My demon eyes pick out a girl with purple hair gathered at the back of her head and carrying a shining holy sword.

“Fumu. Even though their barrier reduced the power of my <Geo Greys> it still wouldn’t be easy to slash it like that.” (Arnos)

Thinking about it I haven’t seen the 1st ranked student in the hero academy yet. You would assume they’d be in Jergakanon but is that girl it?

“This might get interesting.” (Arnos)

“And? What are you going to do? Fire off a more powerful <Geo Greys>?”

Sasha looks over at me.

“I could, but if I make it any more powerful I won’t be able to adjust it anymore. I could end up obliterating even their origins.” (Arnos)

This isn’t a war. I cant go doing something like that for a mere school test.

“I’ll enter this fight.” (Arnos)

I step forward and slowly start walking towards the city.

“Don’t you want a demon king castle building?” (Misha)

“From what I can tell the barrier they’ve set up over the city is powerful but has a narrow range. Its power to seal mazoku is probably due to the 4 different elements developed and overlapping in multiple layers. As long as its there they won’t come out in case I use another <Geo Greys>.” (Arnos)

Even if I build a demon king castle and wait for them they won’t appear. It will just descend into a boring stalemate.

“But isn’t it a disadvantage to fight in there? It could go the same way as Libest’s team.”

“The barrier will disappear if the caster is incapacitated.” Ray says with a fresh smile on his face.

“What if they are Kanon’s reincarnations though?”

“Either way the caster is inside the barrier so we will have to fight in there.” Misa says with a serious expression.

The fan union girls nod.

“Should I build the demon king castle in the city centre?”

Misha makes a proposal.

“The demon kings castle terrain effect will offset the barriers effect.”

Creating a demon king castle that spans the entire city will certainly counterbalance the barrier seal but it would depend on the caster. Depending on the person’s magical power this could certainly turn to our advantage.

“Wouldn’t it take time to build a castle that specialises in such a terrain effect? Especially when under the effect of that barrier seal.”

Mishas nods.

“Create in 3 minutes.” (Misha)

“Shall we go then? I’ll protect Misha and the castle for those 3 minutes. Everyone else wait outside the barrier. Once the castle is built Sasha and Ray will enter and defeat the barrier caster. Misa you’ll handle the remaining small fry.” (Arnos)

“Got it.” (Ray)

“Understood.” (Sasha)

“I can’t bring shame to Arnos-sama. I’ll wait for the proper timing…….”

Elen, one of the fan union girls clenches her fist with a serious look.

“It’ll be okay. You’ll be able to easily see when the castles built. No need to be so tense.” (Misa)

“No, I mean the time for the support song.” (Elen)

“………Ah……ahaha…… I think its better if you don’t sing……” (Misa)

Fumu. Apart from Ray and the others, I had thought the fan union would feel pressured but they seem the same as ever.

I guess they have more guts than I give them credit for.

“If the opportunity comes, sing as much as you want. You’ll break the hearts of the enemy in your own way.” (Arnos)

“……..Yes!!”

Elen nodded as if suddenly motivated.

“Then I’m off.” (Arnos)

I stretch out my hand to Misha and we touch fingertips.

I set my gaze on the distant city centre and cast <Gatom>
