The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Chapter 187.1

• Chapter 187 : The swordsmanship instructor of Demon King Academy

The door opened, and somebodys footsteps echoed.

That man, with his gray hair and colorless eye, walked to the front of the podium in an impeccable manner.

He turned his dangerous gaze forward as if to intimidate, making the students flinch and tremble.

My name is Shin Reglia. From this day onwards, I will be in charge of your swordsmanship training at the Demon King Academy. he said in silence.

Misa stared at him, dumbfounded.

Dad? (Misa)

Hmm. From the look of it, she wasnt aware that Shin was going to be an instructor at this academy.

I thought the Ceremony of the Second Coming of the Demon King had brought them closer, so I found it hard to believe that he still had trouble communicating with her.

H-Hey Shin Reglia? And that face Thats the Demon Kings right-hand man, no matter how you look at it, right?! (Student boy A)

Y-Yeah! Also, didnt they say that hes the Spirit King now? (Student boy B)

Not to mention, he was known as the strongest demon swordsman two thousand years ago, wasnt he?! (Student girl A)

For real? A big shot like him will be in charge of training us at swordsmanship? (Student boy C)

I wonder if he was ordered to by His Majesty the Demon King (Student girl B)

All the students were skeptical about Shin, right-hand man to the Demon King and king of all spirits, being in charge of teaching them.

KAHAHA! Surprised to see him? The Demon Kings closest retainer himself will be teaching you all how to use a sword. This is the opportunity of a lifetime! And thats not all! (Eldmed)

Eldmed spun his cane around, and pointed its tip at the students.

The Demon King Academy is planning to establish a cooperative system with the Spirit School and conduct classroom lectures and trials designed by Ennunien, the Great Tree of Education. In addition, were in the process of searching for a special instructor who can teach you how to deal with spirit magic and its applications. Moreover, detailed one-on-one lessons will be provided by the demons from two thousand years ago. Now, for the piece de resistance! (Eldmed)

Clenching his fists, Eldmed grinned.

We have prepared the best instructors most suitable to teach you about the Demon King, as well as a new and special class to that effect. Its called (Eldmed)

Leaping on the spot, the Conflagration King tapped his feet and declared aloud.

The Great Demon King Training! With this, you guys have been guaranteed a path to the position of Demon Lord. (Eldmed)

After making a grand gesture, the Conflagration King corrected his posture, and began to speak calmly this time.

And of course, the magical lectures and exercises provided by me, the Conflagration King, will always remain available, and Ill be sure to drill my lessons into your very abysses. Now, does anyone know how come the Demon King Academy has prepared such a generous curriculum now that the Demon King himself has been reincarnated? (Eldmed)

Suddenly, the Conflagration King pointed his cane at one of the students.

You there, in black. Try answering that. (Eldmed)

The black and white colors of the Demon King Academy uniforms didnt mean anything particular anymore.

That system of wearing white if one was a mixed-blood or black if one was a royalty had been abolished, allowing the students to freely pick their own uniforms.

That being said, it had only been a short time since that change was made. Therefore, most of the students kept wearing the same uniform as before.

The establishment of white and black uniforms was one of the evil rules of Dilhade.

Although, even if the rule itself was abolished, what real changes could the change of colors bring about?

The key was the will not to care whether they were dressed in black or white.

Of course, there was also the option of downright abolishing the black and white uniforms, but I deliberately kept the uniforms that divided the demons in two as a warning.

Whats wrong? Im talking to you. Answer me. (Eldmed)

W-Well Is it because now that the Demon King has been reincarnated, its become possible to bring in people of exceptional talent? the student replied, unsure.

At that moment, Eldmed grinned.

Exactly! Using people of such talent for education and such, now thats something only the Demon King Anos could do! You get it alright, you sure do! (Eldmed)

The student looked both relieved and somewhat happy.

But thats not all. Its true that it was the popularity of the Demon King that enabled him to gather all those talents, but what I want to know is why he put so much effort into education. (Eldmed)

Eldmed once again pointed at the same student with his cane.

Well? (Eldmed)

I-I dont really know (Student in black A)

Nay, you do know. Im sure you do. Lets give it a little more thought. What difference does it make whether we put more effort into education or none at all? (Eldmed)

The student racked his brain before mumbling something.

Is it the future? (Student in black A)

The future? Thats right, its the future. In other words, the Demon King thought of focusing on education for the sake of the future. The distant future. Isnt that wonderful? (Eldmed)

Being praised by Eldmed gave the student a boost of confidence.

Now let me ask you another question. What reason would there be to put so much effort into the future? (Eldmed)

Is it because our current education isnt satisfactory? (Student in black A)

Yes, yes, thats right. The way things are right now is no good. (Eldmed)

The Conflagration King nodded repeatedly in acquiescement while keeping a watchful eye on the student.

And why isnt it satisfactory? (Eldmed)

This is beyond me (Student in black A)

Nope, you do know. I know you do. What are you missing? What is it the Demon King believes that you lack? What does the Demon King have that you dont? (Eldmed)
