Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha Chapter 19

Chapter 19

The next day ———-

When I arrive in Deruzogedo’s 2nd training hall there’s a different person than normal sitting in the seat to my right .

“Good morning” Sasha says to me with a natural expression on her face .

“Was your seat here before?”

“I changed it . It easier since we are in the same group . Right?”

It does remove the trouble of having to get up and move any time we need to discuss something .

I take my seat and call out to Misha who’s on my left .

“Yo . ”

“…… . Good morning……” Misha replies in her usual indifferent voice .

“That reminds me . What happened to the people that were my members?”

“What happened?”

“Because I entered your group there should have been other people trying to join as well . ”

That’s right, some people did call out to me .

“I refused . ”

“Haaa!? Why? Isn’t it better to have a large number of people?”

Even if you ask why .

“None of them gave off the right feeling . ”

Sasha is dumbfounded .

“Not like it’s a problem anyway . I can win with only you 2 . ”

If I’m blunt I only need myself to win .

“There will be other group tests . A lot are aimed at 5 people and when you move up a grade it can be for 7 or more people . ”

I see . Was there such a rule?

I can’t win if I cant partic.i.p.ate .

“I didn’t know that . ”

“What are you going to do?”

“It’s fine . I still have time . I’ll think about it . ”

“You sure are easygoing . ” Sasha said in amazement .

As the bell starts ringing the cla.s.sroom door opens and Emilia enters . Entering behind her is a man wearing a black robe, cloak and hat . Well, the word man is misleading . It’s more of a skeleton .

If I’m not mistaken he’s one of my 7 subordinates though apparently now an undead . So this is Aivis Necron .

One of the old 7 demon emperors . They seem to wield considerable power and influence even in this age . The usually noisy students fell silent when Aivis appeared .

No . That’s not right . They got hit by the magic power this guy is emitting . It’s pretty powerful . It’s causing them to unconsciously fear him .

The same thing would happen if I emitted my magic . Or rather, it would have done once but the mazoku in this era are way too weak .

Now, if I emitted my magic it would cause their magic senses like their demon eyes to become temporarily paralysed and they would feel nothing at all . They wouldn’t be able to sense my magic at all .

Oh well . If they actually could sense my magic those with weak anti-magic capabilities would die . Perhaps this temporary paralysis to their senses is actually a defence mechanism now .

“As I said last time, today we will be training to use a grand magic . Please listen very carefully to the old Seven Demon Emperor Aivis Necron as this spell approaches the depths of the abyss of magic . Especially-”

Emilia looks at me

“You Arnos VoldiG.o.d-kun . Please don’t be rude . ”

Good grief . Did you really have to warn me expressly?

Do they really think I’m impolite?

“You didn’t need to waste your breath . I know that much . ”

“That’s good then… . . ”

Yare yare . What are you worried about?

Aah, this is an opportunity . Should I say h.e.l.lo?

I stand up .

“Yo Aivis, long time no see . ”

“………… . !!!!!!?”

Emilia’s mouth falls open like its ready to drop off . Seems like an extreme surprise .

“A… . A… . . A……A…… . Arnos VoldiG.o.d-kun! This is Aivis-sama! Don’t speak so familiarly!!”

I can hear the whispering of the students .

“…c.r.a.p!…… . . This is bad! That fellow……he’s definitely dead now…… . ”

“If Aivis-sama gets angry we will be caught up in it . ”

“Ask for forgiveness inept person…… . ”

I ignore the noise and use my demon eyes on Aivis .

The magic is familiar, I’m sure it’s one of my subordinates made from my blood . But, there’s something… .

“Aivis-sama, I’m sorry! Arnos VoldiG.o.d will be expelled immediately…… . !!”

“It’s fine,” Aivis said in a generous manner . “You said it’s been a long time?”

Aivis turns to look at me .

“Aah, 2000 years in fact . Don’t you remember me?”

“2000 years? I see, that explains it . ” Aivis nods having reached an understanding .

“Unfortunately, I lost my memories from 2000 years ago . All I can remember is my lord the Demon King of Tyranny . ”

“Then you should remember me . ”

“…… . . Are you related to the founder?”

Fumu, I see .

He remembers the Demon King of Tyranny but doesn’t understand who I am . In other words, he believes the Demon King of Tyranny is someone other than me .

It might be related to his lost memory but it’s certainly a strange story . The top of the academy is the old 7 Demon Emperors . Even if Aivis really lost his memory it’s impossible for all 7 of them to lose their memories . This is no coincidence .

Has his memory been tampered with? Or are you pretending not to remember?

“Certainly, I feel a sense of nostalgia from your magic . ”

“Really?”

“Aah . I have no doubt that we were acquainted 2000 years ago . ”

In any event, I can’t understand anything from this conversation only .

“Do you need something from me?”

“I do, but first I’m going to try to make you remember . ”

All the students, Emilia, Sasha and Misha all watch me anxiously as I walk straight over to Aivis .

I slowly grab the skeletons face causing the whole cla.s.sroom to panic .

“Wha wha wha wha wha Arnos-kun!!”

“He’s done it… . . that fellow!!”

While the noisy students yammer on I draw a magic formation in my palm .

“Remember . Your lord . My name is Arnos VoldiG.o.d . ”

The magic that I used was Recollection . It recalls distant and far off memories .

However, there’s no answer .

“… . . It’s no use . The memory no longer exists in my head . I can’t remember it because it’s gone . Recollection cannot return that which is lost . ”

“Then how about this?”

I develop multiple magic formations and use origin magic Time Manipulation and stack up multiple Recollections .

“… . . This is…… . what are you doing… . . ? In my head… . . an image is emerging……”

“If the memory is completely gone from your head then Time Manipulation will go back in time in a limited way . In this case 2000 years ago then Recollection will recall the memory from there . ”

“… . Impossible… . . ! To go back in time…… Is there a grand magic to transcend time…… . !?”

“It’s a type of origin magic though it’s usability is quite strict . ”

The origin of Aivis’ memory of the Demon King Arnos from 2000 years ago . By following the flow of time back using I can let it form .

In the head of Aivis, the experiences from 2000 years ago should be flowing like a revolving lantern .

“… . . Certainly, I’ve gone back 2000 years in my memories… . . ”

However, it’s not there .

Even 2000 years ago there is no memory in the head of Aivis of the Demon King Arnos VoldiG.o.d .

Of course can only pull the memory out if it exists in the head of Aivis . I can only read the surface but my name should be there at the very least yet when I looked not even my name existed .

What came out instead and it came out many times was the name Demon King of Cruelty Avos Dillheavia .

“Why? Why is my memory not returning?”

“Your memory from 2000 years ago has been beautifully erased and I don’t know when from exactly . ”

Simply put, the past has been tampered with . In the head of Aivis, the memory of the Demon King Arnos was forgotten right from its start point .

This was done by magic .

Yare yare . What a nasty story .

I can’t fight it either . Not from 2000 years ago .

“I see, however, thank you Arnos . It’s a fine crop just knowing this much . It means someone is hostile against me . ”

Are you serious or pretending ignorance? It’s possible he tampered with the past himself .

I have no way of knowing .

“Don’t mind it . Let’s start the cla.s.s . ”

When I go back to my seat the students start whispering again .

“What was that…… . !?”

“I don’t know! He grabbed the head on one of the old 7 Demon Emperors and got told thank you!!”

“Why a thank you…… . !?”

“Perhaps that was his plan . ”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean he got thanked by one of the old 7 Demon Emperors!!”

“That fellow…… . Is he really an inept person?”

“…… . Amazing…… . I have no idea what’s going on at all… . . it’s too much!!”

I pull out my chair and sit down . Misha leans over and speaks to me .

“…… . I’m glad you are okay……”

From my other side, Sasha says .

“I cannot believe you . ”

Yare yare . So much noise over the dullest of things like usual .

However, Avos Dillheavia .

I had thought that my name got corrupted by mistake over the years but it’s darker than that .

The old 7 Demon Emperors, this Academy and me being branded an inept person .

All of it appears to be intended .

I’ve got no proof but I know it to be true .

Avos Dillheavia . Someone is trying to replace me .
