The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)-Chapter 16.2

“Wha……..Gre……ga……..?”

Flame magic is ranked in order of power from the strongest first. Flame Prison Annihilation Cannon <Geo Greys>, Scorching Black Flame <Griado>, Demon Blaze <Guresode>, Grand Flame <Gusgam> and………Flame <Grega>.

“…..No way……with the lowest level of flame magic….our…..Sasha-sama’s <Geo Greys> was burnt down and our Demon King castle……..!”

Hopeless voices break out.

“Impossible! Such a thing is impossible……! There must be some secret……….An evolved <Grega>!”

I’ve got nothing to hide so I’ll teach them a bit.

“The secret is the difference in our magic powers. That was the only thing different between you, me and the other 20 people.”

The [Mages] head shook like it has been kicked.

“…..What….did….you….say….”

“Such a thing……”

“It’s not an odd story or anything. If there are differences in magic power then <Gusgam> could beat <Guresode> for example. However, if the difference in magic power is huge enough then this is what happens.”

As I finish speaking I take one step forward and the [Mages] begin to tremble all over.

They are crushed by despair and lose the will to fight completely causing them to lose consciousness.

I carry on walking over to Sasha.

“…..Far superior……monster……”

A mutter reaches my ears from behind.

“Do you remember our promise?” I ask Sasha.

“………”

Biting her lip Sasha looks at me with a humiliated expression.

“Why didn’t you kill me?”

Even if she says that it’s not like we were really at war or something.

It’s not necessary to kill my classmates. Besides, its a pain to have to revive people all the time.

“You have potential. It would be a shame to kill you.”

I hold my hand out to Sasha.

“Join me as a subordinate.”

After thinking for a while Sasha reaches out to take my hand with no hesitation or fear.

Just before she takes it she glares at me and activates her <Demon Eyes of Ruin> hitting me with their full strength.

“Die!!”

“I refuse.”

I stare straight into Sasha’s <Demon Eyes of Ruin>.

“Then kill me!”

“I refuse.”

I hold out my hand to her again.

“How stubborn. It’s fine though. Join me as a subordinate.”

“…….Such humiliation. I’ll never forget this. Someday I’ll be stronger and when I am I definitely kill you……”

I laughed.

“Let me tell you something, Sasha. If the end of killing someone was only death then I’d have died 2000 years ago.”

Sasha looked taken aback and then seemed to give up.

“Weird mongrel……” she sighed.

“……Fine. The present me cannot match you and besides, due to <Sekt> I cannot go against you anyway.”

After making up an excuse Sasha demurely put the tips of her fingers on my hand.

“However, please remember this. This is a contract. I do not remember selling you my heart.”

“Aah. My best regards.”

Sasha stared at me in wonder as I started laughing.

“Nee. I want to hear it once more.”

“What’s that?”

“Did you invite me because of that girl?”

“Well yeah. I’m hoping you both get along. It would make Misha happy.”

“I see. Hmph.”

She doesn’t seem bothered and lost interest in me.

“Aah, there was one more reason.”

“What’s that?”

“Your demon eyes are beautiful.”

Sasha’s face was immediately dyed bright red.

She turns around and tries to run away.

“I’m telling the truth. I have never seen such beautiful demon eyes.”

Even during the age of myths I never saw anyone with such pure, calm and undefiled eyes like hers.

If my eyes are to be trusted then she has great untapped magical power and talent.

Well, at the moment she’s still too immature though.

“Are you listening?” I ask Sasha who’s facing the other way. She turns to face me again.

“….I didn’t hear it…..idiot…..!!”

Is she shy? I was only trying to praise her. (1)
