The Misfit of Demon King Academy

“Heeey. I won’t say anything today but don’t do it again. Okay?” (Eleonor)

She speaks like she’s telling off a child.

“Fumu. Are you listening Sasha?” (Arnos)

“Haaaaaa! How many people are you trying to blame!? I tried to stop you!” (Sasha)

I laughed.

“I’m only playing. I think it good to do it occasionally.” (Arnos)

“Why are you dragging me into your occasional play?” (Sasha)

“Because it’s my first meeting with Eleonor I thought I’d show off my playful side.” (Arnos)

“What! Such natural responsibility shifting only shows off your darkness.” (Sasha)

Eleonor seems taken aback watching our interaction but it soon changes to a smile and she laughs.

“That’s no good Arnos-kun. You need to be kind to girls.” (Eleonor)

“Unfortunately the mazoku don’t have such values.” (Arnos)

“We do.” Sasha says in a flash.

“What?” (Arnos)

“Don’t what me. I said we do.” (Sasha)

“Fumu. However, unlike humans, the mazoku have no difference in ability due to genders. Why does such a thing exist now?” (Arnos)

“I don’t know much about humans so I can’t comment on them but such manners amongst the mazoku are commonplace now.” (Sasha)

Fumu. I guess a lot changes in 2000 years.

“Perhaps….” Eleonor starts speaking as she pushes open the gates and enters the academy. ” You’re a reincarnated person Arnos-kun?”

“Ahh.”

Following along behind her I answer.

“Wow. So there are reincarnated people amongst the mazoku as well?” (Eleonor)

Her tone of voice is almost trivial. It seems reincarnated people are not rare.

Human’s didn’t know the magic of Reincarnation <Silica> but perhaps it’s different in Gairadeite? It’s also possible it’s limited to the academy only.

“Arent reincarnated people rare here?” (Arnos)

“All the people in [Jergakanon] are reincarnated. Aah……!” (Eleonor)

“What’s wrong?” (Arnos)

“Aah…errrm….we weren’t supposed to mention reincarnation to outsiders. A lot of normal humans find it creepy.” (Eleonor)

I see. I don’t believe that’s the only reason though.

“Bu…but its fine. We’re doing an exchange with the demon king academy and they have reincarnated people as well. I’m okay. It’s alright.” (Eleonor)

Eleonor makes a fist. She seems to be trying hard to convince herself.

“It’s fine. I won’t say anything to anyone.” (Arnos)

“Really? I’m grateful. Thank you.” (Eleonor)

Her face bursts into smile like a flower.

“Are you like that in the demon king academy as well? Are you all excited about people reincarnating? Here at home, stories about the hero Kanon reincarnating are the most popular.” (Eleonor)

Popularity is a very human concept.

“Has the hero Kanon reincarnated?” (Arnos)

“Yup. Four of them. Oh, that’s a secret as well.” (Eleonor)

Sasha looks puzzled.

“Four of them….?” (Sasha)

“Kanon had seven origins. If each of them reincarnated into different bodies it wouldn’t be strange to have four of them.” (Arnos)

Eleonor nods at my words.

“That’s it. Are the heroes well known in the demon king academy or is it because Arnos-kun is a reincarnated person?” (Eleonor)

“Well, they are known in the demon king academy.” (Arnos)

“Really? I’ve wanted to ask a mazoku for a while now if it’s true but isn’t the most popular reincarnated person in the demon king academy the demon king?” (Eleonor)

Eleonor stops and raises her finger.

“The demon king of tyranny Avos Dillheavia.” (Eleonor)

Sasha silently looks at me.

Fumu. The name has even changed in the hero academy.

I can’t say much yet but I’m certain that it’s not only the humans who are plotting something.

(1) I believe this is the first time Arnos has commented on women beyond their faces or hair so there we go peeps. Our boy Arnos does have a sex drive after all. Turns out he likes huge breasts, he just never saw them 🤣
