The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Chapter 227.2

I chuckled at Emilias words.

What a funny thing to say. Anosh Polticoal, surpass me in power? Emilia, thats impossible. Even if heaven and earth were turned upside down. (Anos)

She turns her Magic Eyes on me, as if she was trying to find out my true intentions.

Maybe I phrased it a bit wrong, or she may have suspected that I was planning to get rid of Anosh.

Im sure hes nothing like you when you were a child. (Emilia)

Really? And what makes you say that? (Anos)

Unlike you, Anosh-kun is a kindhearted demon. He would never turn against Dilhade. (Emilia)

Kuhahahahahaha! (Anos)

When I laughed, Emilia gave me a puzzled look.

Why did you suddenly start laughing? DidI say something funny? (Emilia)

Hmm. I accidentally burst into laughter.

Well, whatever.

Oh no, I was simply wondering how you put so much trust into a child youve only just met. (Anos)

Unlike you, I was in direct contact with that boy. Anosh-kun is smart, pure, and very kind. As long as the adults around him guide him properly, Im sure he will become a more wonderful Demon Emperor than anyone else. He may even surpass you. (Emilia)

It was a little bit embarrassing to hear her say this, but I couldnt tell her the truth about him.

Hmm. Looks like youve become a real educator, Emilia. (Anos)

Are you demanding gratitude from me? (Emilia)

Im saying that you keep a very close eye on your students. I hope you will use your unclouded Magic Eyes to watch me as well. (Anos)

When I said that, Emilia turned her face away.

However, as if changing her mind, she turned to me again.

She has a determined look on her face.

There is something I would like to tell the Demon King of Tyranny, Anos Voldigoad. (Emilia)

She appealed earnestly.

Unlike when we had our small talk just now, her tone switched to one of a formal audience with the Demon King.

You may speak. (Anos)

After saying that, she knelt down on the spot and bowed her head.

I made a mistake. (Emilia)

That was the first thing she said.

I mistakenly thought that the royals were a supreme existence, and that my own blood was sacred. Because of that, I treated you with malice, plotted to kill your mother, and even tried to kill my own students. (Emilia)

Regret and guilt permeated each of her words.

Because she was facing forward and trying to live her life honestly from now on, her sins could never be erased.

The fact of the matter was that she herself would not allow that to happen.

But you extended your hand to a sinner like me. Instead of killing me, you gave me a chance to realize my sins. (Emilia)

The reason why she knelt down and bowed to me, whom she once held such a grudge against, was probably because she genuinely wanted to.

I wish to express my deepest gratitude to you, my lord And at the same time, there is something I wish to apologize for (Emilia)

Speak. (Anos)

I will atone for this sin in any way I can. If you ask me to lick your shoes, I will do so, and I will endure whatever torment you may punish me with. I know this is a shameful request to make at this point, but I implore you to spare my life. she pleaded.

You may state your reasons. (Anos)

There is an unfinished business I must take care of. Once I have finished it, you may do as you wish with me. (Emilia)

And if I refuse? (Anos)

She looked up and spoke up in determination.

It is my sin to bear. I only ask that you grant me the time to put my affairs in order. (Emilia)

I smiled in response as a way of approving her request.

Ive already punished you. Theres no need to take this any further. (Anos)

Emilia looked confused.

I take back what I said back then about never forgiving you. (Anos)

Were you not going to torment me after I have admitted my guilt in all sincerity? (Emilia)

I chuckled.

Hmm. Do I seem like such a savage or a brute to you? (Anos)

Um, no But you are the Demon King of Tyranny (Emilia)

I couldnt help but burst out laughing at that comment.

Apparently, being reincarnated as a hybrid caused her considerable trauma.

No wonder she retained such a rigid attitude toward me even after admitting her guilt.

Thats all in the past now. Dont worry about it. More importantly, you remember our promise, right? (Anos)

Well I do, but (Emilia)

Youve fulfilled your duty. Youve restored the pride of the students of the former Jerga-Kanon class, and made the humans subjugate the dragons with their own powers. It may be a small step for them, but it will be the trigger for the revival of this country after Two thousand years of being ruled by the <Demon Judgment Jerga> spell. Great work. (Anos)

When I said that, Emilias expression stiffened, not with joy or relief, but as if she was bracing herself for something.

Im not inclined to let my talented subordinates idle away. As I promised, I have prepared for you a position similar to that of the Seven Demon Emperors. (Anos)

Anos sama I, um (Emilia)

Just as she was about to reply

The door to the reception room was burst open.

Wait!! (Raos)

With Raos in the lead, Ledriano, Heine, and the students in scarlet uniforms entered the room at once.

All the students from Emilias homeroom class were rushing in.
