Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha Chapter 227.1

Chapter 227.1

A few days later

At the Hero Academy of Arclanisca.

Today, on the last day of the exchange program, I was walking down the hallway not as Anosh, but as the Demon King of Tyranny.

The school building, which had been half-destroyed by a variant dragon, had been rebuilt by Eldmed with the spell.

It was st.u.r.dier than before, and there were disturbing magic circles drawn here and there, perhaps as a result of his playfulness.

I stopped and opened the door to the magic library.

The students who had been hanging out inside turned to look at me.

You! (Raos)

As soon as Raos saw my face, he stood up.

He remembered what had happened in the past and lost his temper for a moment, but Ledriano restrained him with his hand.

Raos calmed down, gently grabbed his hand, and lowered it down.

Okay, fine. Im good now. (Raos)

Heine, who was reading a book, stood up and turned to me.

Long time no see. So what possessed the Great Demon King to come all the way here by himself? (Heine)

He was as c.o.c.ky as ever.

However, unlike before, there was no hostility in his gaze.

Oh, nothing. Im just here to fulfill my promise to Emilia. I intended to head to the reception room, but I must have taken a wrong turn. Sorry I disturbed you. (Anos)

I turned on my heel and was about to leave the library when a voice called out to me from behind.

Hey, wait. (Raos)

I stopped and looked back at Raos over my back.

What kind of promise is it? (Raos)

Oh? Are you really that concerned about a demon homeroom teacher dispatched from the Demon King Academy? (Anos)

Raos turned away, looking awkward.

Not really. It aint like that (Raos)

Kuhaha! Incredible how she managed to win over an ill-tempered bunch like you guys. Nothing less from a teacher of my Demon King Academy. (Anos)

Ledriano gasped slightly when I said the words teacher of the Demon King Academy.

If youre that curious, Ill tell you. I a.s.signed Emilia to Arclanisca when it was in dire straits so she would help put it back on its feet. I promised her that if she could keep teaching here for a year, or if she achieved a certain level of success, she would be promoted to a position in the Demon King Academy. (Anos)

Promoted (Raos)

Emilia worked hard, and she did a great job of restoring your pride as heroes. (Anos)

I continued to explain to Raos and the rest, who remained silent.

The reason why the Demon King Academy partic.i.p.ated in this student exchange program was to subdue the dragons infesting Azesion. Thanks to Emilia and you guys efforts to draw the dragon horde away, we were able to uncover the mastermind. We can continue draining the filth out of Gairadite. Shes accomplished a real feat. I promised her that I would give her a position equal to that of the Seven Demon Emperors, but I must prepare something appropriate. (Anos)

I left the magic library, leaving the three of them stunned.

On the way out, I added something else.

Ahh, before I forget, try speaking a little more politely when youre in public. Not many demons care about formal language, but she does. You humans shouldnt have any problem with this. Dont cause her any unnecessary embarra.s.sment. (Anos)

This time, I walked away.

I headed for the reception room, designed to welcome guests.

I opened the door and entered.

In that s.p.a.cious room were a luxurious desk, a gorgeously embroidered carpet, high-cla.s.s sofas, and other furniture.

Emilia was waiting inside.

She stared at me as I came in.

Sit down. (Anos)

No, thank you. I prefer to stand. (Emilia)

Suit yourself, then. (Anos)

I pulled out a chair from the desk in the back and sat down in it.

Emilia awkwardly turned my way.

She looked a little frightened, wondering what I was going to say to her.

I heard you used a large amount of holy water to subjugate the dragon horde. (Anos)

Yes, we did. (Emilia)

That was reckless of you. No matter how compatible you are with hero magic, your body is still that of a demon. A body infected with holy scars will eventually erode down to even its source. If that ever happened, you might not have survived even via the reincarnation induced by my curse. (Anos)

Emilia nodded.

Why did you risk your life to fight? (Anos)

Im a teacher. she answered as she tried to find her words.

I had a responsibility to protect my students. (Emilia)

And you did well. (Anos)

She bowed her head slightly, looking uncomfortable.

Thank you very much for your praise. (Emilia)

Hmm. Are your holy scars healed now? If you dont feel well, I can heal you. (Anos)

Emilia quietly shook her head.

Anosh-kun That is, a student from the Demon King Academy who took part in the student exchange program, healed me. I havent had any problem at all. (Emilia)

Apparently, she hadnt suffered any difficulty since then.

May I ask you one thing? (Emilia)

What is it? (Anos)

Who was that boy? He possessed extraordinary power for a mere demon. Surely you know something (Emilia)

As I expected, she had to wonder about that.

I couldnt blame her for thinking that Anosh had a connection with me.

Youre talking about Anosh Polticoal? Youre right, his magic power is out of the ordinary. So much so that it reminds me of my childhood. If he grew up and started a rebellion, he may become a seed of war. As you might expect, Ill have to keep him under my radar. (Anos)

Emilia turned my way with a stern gaze.

Youre not planning on getting rid of him before he surpa.s.ses you in power, are you? (Emilia)
